We did it! But now we need ideas!

OK so hubby and I are officially booked! Pop Century 12/15-12/21. We've been looking over all the wonderful food recommendations everyone has given us and now are moving on to planning the itinerary for each park. In your opinion, what are the MUST see attractions (around Christmas time, preferably) and rides, too!

Thanks!!!!

The best idea is to attend MickeysVeryMerryChristmasParty always a great time and loved by all who attend. It is a special event and you need special admission tickets, but you will not regret it.

I'll third that! And VL's suggestion on MVMCP.

Don't miss Soarin at Epcot - an amazing virtual paragliding experience!

I agree with MVMCP and the Osborne Lights. I also recommend visiting some of the resorts to see the decorations.

What everyone else sounds good...and my suggestion was going to be what Joann C said...visit the resorts and see all the christmas decorations....they are awesome...you will be blown away by some of the trees and the things they can do with gingerbread...We always go in November so they usually put up the christmas stuff the week we are there...It's crazy to go to bed and there be nothing in the lobby and wake up to find this....

I'd definatley suggest having a hop around a few of the resorts to check out their decorations, they're amazing! The chocolate carousel, the gingerbread house etc, just stunning!

I love that!!

When I was a girl Disney did everything overnight, you *never* saw any sort of setting or construction. No giant cranes over the castle or buildings shrouded in pictures of themselves. There was no staggered roll out for holiday decorations, one day there was nothing and the next day the whole shebang was set. *That's* Disney magic.

The Osbourne Lights at DHS and MVMCP at MK. I'm not a huge fan of CP at Epcot, though I can see why some people are, it's just not my thing, but World Showcase as a whole is beautiful that time of year, and I love the storytellers in each country.
