That is beautiful but I dont think its cancel worthy. Thanks so much for posting it.Here are a couple of mine....
Haha yeah, why not? Lots need that bit of magic this yearThis must be the year for people from MN to take their first trips at Christmas. We go to Disney every other year - and I've somehow managed DCL in the years between despite the fact that my husband says Disney only every other year - but this is our very first trip at Christmas time. We are going at the beginning of December though so not over Thanksgiving, but still Christmas was what we want out of this trip anyways. I'm disappointed in the changes, but I understand. Being stuck in my house - working remotely since March - I welcome any kind of trip. And there seems to be some holiday magic still in the works. We will be flying and that is honestly what makes me most nervous.
Same here! Also from MN, also our first holiday trip, and also leaving around Thanksgiving (11/28). Are you flying or driving?

I'm from MN also - Stillwater area - and have been to WDW many times at Christmas. I did originally have a trip booked for Nov 28 - Dec 5, but had to cancel and rebook (again) for end of April 2021 (1 year from our original booking!!), due to my traveling companion's work requirements (she's a health care worker and they have cancelled all vacations at her location).
If you haven't seen Disney at Christmas, you are really in for a wonderful and beautiful way to get into the Holiday spirit. Even without some of the events, there will be plenty to see and do. They really go all out at Christmas, and everywhere you look is gorgeously decorated.
Hope everyone, especially my fellow-Minnesotans, has a glorious trip.
I wonder if they do MK 8 also in DecemberUpdate on park hours for November
Starting Friday Nov 6th MK is 9am to 7pm (probably for the castle projections)
Epcot is changing hours on Nov 27 and 28 to Noon to 8pm
DHS and AK stay the same
Good glad MK is a little later, 8:00 would be even better .I wonder if they do MK 8 also in December
Hey fellow MN people! Nice to hear from you about your Christmas trips! We fly and are there 11/19-28. My inlaws just flew Delta and it was great - last week they returned from FL where they usuallylive for half the year but had to delay returning to Edina for the summer due to COVID. Hoping our experience is similar.
Last year we hit Disneyland and loved it but we have not been to WDW since 2016 and were so excited to return for our Spring Break trip in March... but... that was cancelled like so many. At the time we rescheduled for TG week - never imagining that there would be so much suffering in between, nor that we would still be having crazy infection numbers.
And we are especially excited to have a vacation out of town being from Minneapolis - we live in the neighborhood of the burned 3rd precinct and buildings along Lake Street and near the neighborhood where George Floyd was killed. It has been an emotional spring and summer and we know we still have many things to be thankful for ourselves as well as all of the good people are doing to help rebuild and also to address the roots of the problem.
So the holiday changes are a bummer but as our year of bummers goes - pretty minor. Nothing compares to white supremacists in Hawaiian shirts walking your alleys and streets after the Citywide imposed curfew trying to light cars on fire or stage incendiary devices to light up later! Or young punks from rural MN or ”up north” burning your bank and pharmacy.
We are safe and good! And excited to enjoy the WDW holiday offerings and decorations, take it ez on the commando park touring and set our mood for the holiday season!
Regardless, we will love being in WDW!
Yeah all 500 people. lolEpcot opening at noon!!!! rope drop will be crazy...everyone should be awake at that time!!!!
We still have our 12/5-12/12 reservations at POFQ - and park tickets & reservations - and memory maker........
still undecided, especially because of the short hours.......
We got the 'please confirm by 11/6' email but haven't responded yet.
Got both a phone call and an email from WDW to contact them about the trip.
