Sorry to put a damper on the party, it's the same ride, just different senerary and an activity in the line that doesn't work too well, you load "your car" and then it doesn't appear when they say this is how it compares, it's just disappointing too have stood in line for and hour and a half, 30 min. Of which it was actually broken, because they didn't get a powerful enough computer to run all of the "cars" you build out.
Very cool! - mrscttlemstr  236.7 #1142 7:42PM
Oh I may brave this one in August. ( big MAYBE). - 5disneylovers  338.8 #11 7:57PM
Honestly...I was disappointed with the re-do. They put style ahead of substance and as cool as it looks, it kind of loses the feel of being on a real test track. - MennisDiller  359.1 #390 2:37PM

Ok, well I'm still going to be there on dec 25, any hits about special things happening??
This year it is on saturday dec. 1... And i reccomend not going lol. You dont even enter through the main park etrance they take you around the back ways because all of the chaos.. Plus you need to be wearing a special bracelete to even be in the vicinity of mainstreet ... I dont know i just know i wanna be on vacation and not around major choas!! Lol - Boardwalkgirl  37.3 #81 10:57PM
The parade is recorded at the beginning of Dec, and from what it looks like MK is very crowded those days near Main Street and the Hub. - Andrea84  286.3 #15 10:51PM
I was there 2004. We entered the park regular entrance. Not a Saturday. The castle area crowded but rest of park ok - lghr  11.0 #186 11:32PM

So is it like magic hours at night where you have to show your ticket to get in line for the ride?
I think they close the park and every one leaves and reopen for the party ticket holders We went 2 years ago the week before Thanksgiving and it was great no crowd that night - lala03  43.1 #74 9:04PM
Yes they close the park early that day. You can also get in early (before the party starts) with your ticket. I think 2 pm. You'd have to check. - ready4vacation  8.8 #7195 9:16PM

Love the Christmas party! I know definatley you can get in by 4 with your ticket for the party but it could be sooner. They will have stations set up where you will show your ticket for a wrist band and you will get a schedule of events for the party. See and do them all they are really good and don't for get the coca and cookies they are free. Have a magical time. - mmddgp  177.9 #27 11:16AM

I book all the airfare for my company as well as for my family, in the past three years, airfares have never gone down, always up!! BOOK ASAP!!!
That's awesome ,I'm so not the mwer to give planning advice lol but we usually wait till a month or so before we always use sw too the airports only a few mins away and we always get the early bird boarding so we don't have to worry about the 24 hr check in so worth the extra $20 we just check till we see the best price or before we start running out of time:) - tracsant  570.7 #3 3:51PM
We always buy in January for august. The prices always are higher the closer the date gets. Not worth the hassle. - 5disneylovers  338.8 #11 3:52PM

Omg..they're so rude and pushy and inconsiderate! VERY un-Disney like...certain tour groups are more rude than others..but I'll refrain from naming which ones..lol..enjoy the rest of ur trip tho as far away from the "flag people" as possible! :D - mickeynme  102.3 #45 11:22PM
Omg are the flag ppl still there ..all we saw was Orange shirts at dtd on sat .. Oooh some of them were so pushy.. - Disneymom36  57.9 #63 7:48PM
I'd just like to point out that they are insane only at WDW. They come to SeaWorld on their little tours and they are never as bad as they are at Disney. - IndyandMarion  912.8 #1 8:31AM

We did it, but packing in the middle was a hassle and to have to go through the check in Process again and then you have to go and get the park tickets transferred from your original room key onto the second room key. But if it's your only chance to try multiple hotels the bell service does make it convienent, they picked up everything including our waters, snacks, etc.
We do this every time,we like so many different ones and like to try them all out sometimes it's a bit much but if you tell bell services they will transfer you luggage for you and it's a great way to get a feel of resorts you like or not:) - tracsant  570.7 #3 2:41PM
I think you need to pick out of a hat!! - Ariel42  197.8 #24 2:43PM
I think that's a great idea! It'll give you the opportunity to experience everything that both resorts have to offer! However, when staying at any Disney resort, you can go to any other resort and still experience everything there is to offer without having to change the resort that you are staying at. :) - dlmickeymouseCM  2350.4 #27 10:07PM

Fly, it's part of the experience. And as much as I love Disney... If you're going to California go to Legoland, so cool for kids!! I know there's a new one in FL, but go to the original with the aquarium, super fun.

We drive most places because it's usually cheaper. We are a family of five also. The farthest we have drove is Colorado which is 24 hours for us. We always stop halfway and sleep but that takes away time from your vacation! We love to fly,it just so expensive these days. - BodinFabFive  26.3 #108 2:06PM
I also say fly. Less travel time and more vacation time! Definitely visit us here in San Diego! It's a great place! We have Sea World too! - MomWithAJuiceBoxBuzz  922.0 #94 11:09AM
I prefer to fly if it is cross country. I look at it as paying for more time there. My husband and I both work so we have to take time off to go anywhere. I like to maximize our time having fun not driving. - Disneyaddict  200.2 #1625 11:17AM

It came out in like April. One more thing we learned. Don't go load it after each and every ride, it's a little time consuming, collect the numbers of you photos from the ride by texting them to yourself and then when you are done with that ride for the day, have them load all of them at once.
Go to any PhotoPass photographer and ask for a "Magic Shot". The service is free, but they give you a card so you can view the photos online to either order or download for a reasonable cost. - dlmickeymouseCM  2350.4 #27 11:36PM
Photo pass photographers are what you are looking for. It's a free service, they take your pics and scan them onto a card. Give that same card to every photographer you use and at the end of your trip all your pics will be in one place waiting for you. You can buy the pics or not, up to you. Make sure you ask each photographer if they have any special effects to add to your photos!! Have fun!!! - dizpinfriend  3.1 #1197 11:35PM

I had no idea about photo pass +! I'm going to see if I can order before we leave. I lost my camera on my last vacation to Thailand so it's worth it to me not to have to worry about my camera. I've been reading more tips and tricks about it keeping track of my card and its number so I think it's perfect for us. Especially because everyone gets to be in the picture then.

Photo pass now also has photo pass plus, it's a little spending, but you get all of your shots that they take, including "magic shots" PLUS, every ride photo!!! You have to prepay, and kind of make a commitment to yourself to take full advantage of the photographers!! It's $200, I know crazy, but at the end of the trip we had 250 photos and then you go on and edit and add boarders, we had over 400 by the time I was done plus they give you a CD of lots of generic Disney photos that you might never have otherwise. Oh and if you do character breakfast it includes all o those photos too. This also makes sure that your whole family is in all the photos!! Which is really awesome for us, we get tired of always having to ask people to take our photo, we always offer to people because we know they probably feel like we do.
