Ho,ho,holy moly I can't believe I am doing this! Our lovely moderator, Mary Jo has closed the superthread no#5 and I will take on the challenge of gathering as much info as I can until someone more qualified can take over...SherryE. When you are ready...the thread is all yours.:santa:
There were already quite a few posts from other Diser's, who will be visiting Disneyland and California Adventure in 2017, for the holidays. This will be our first Christmas trip to the parks, and I am beyond excited. I read the whole #5 superthread!!!!
Let me start by saying that while I have done a few threads for "Who is going", I am a little scared about all the info that comes with a Christmas thread. So if you read something that I haven't posted please let me know.
I will hold the first few posts for events,dining, who's going etc.
So welcome to the thread and let's have some fun.
Susie

Susie,
Thank you for taking this project on for the boards! I appreciate you doing this. You will do just fine! I think I can speak for many and say, " Sherrie, we miss you and your wealth of information, please come back to the boards".
Wishing you the best.
 
We are going for our second December time trip. Our first time ever trip to DL was in Dec. 2014. My dh and I have been back twice since then. We are going as a family of 4 from Dec. 1-4 and staying at BWPPI. Looking forward to another trip.

:welcome:minibabies! Have you been in the parks for other holidays or just Christmas? We have only been for Halloween, so I am preparing myself for chaos. After seeing the pictures from Saturday, I am a little worried and may have to think about actually getting to the park at opening lol

We are coming over from the East coast since it was cheaper than going on a Disney cruise over New Years! :crazy2: We'll be there 26 DEC - 02 JAN and are looking forward to visiting DL again since we are WDW regulars! California here we come! :-)

:welcome:jeepnjudy! Have you thought about which park park you want to be in on New Years Eve?
 
We are coming from Ontario Canada and we can't wait to spend Christmas at Disneyland....our dates are December 21 - 27, staying at Paradise Pier. This will be the 2nd time we have spent Christmas at Disneyland!!!!
 
We will be there from 12/24 - 1/1 staying at PPH :dancer:. We are very excited about this since this will be our first time being away for Christmas and New Year. We aren't telling our kids until 2 weeks out because this is our Christmas present to all of us (they are teens so we thought we would give them a little time to figure out what to pack :rotfl:). I know it will be extremely crowded but we are so up for the challenge party:.
 
We will be going sometime during the holiday season, as that is part of our AP year experience. But I'm not sure on the dates. It will likely be a 2-3 day trip over a weekend in late November or early December.

We aren't Halloween people so we haven't gone during that time frame. We love Christmas time and have been to WDW twice in December. We haven't been during any other holiday times.
 
Have Dec 30-Jan 1 booked...

Question...have not booked on site rooms yet...past years I have been able to get GCH around $500 and PPH around $300 much closer to NYE...even last year. Currently rates are $700 for GCH Standard and over $400 or PPH!

Never booked rooms this early...do the rates typically drop as we get a few months out or are they just jacking up rates for this NYE?

We have stayed on site with three rooms every year for the past few years but at these rates I may keep my Courtyard reservations!
