Re: It's a GO!!!
Congratulations!! Have fun planning everything, it's half the fun for me. There are so many great places to eat in Epcot, do you like to play it safe or try something really different?
This site has all the menus to help you decide where to eat. Dining at Walt Disney World

Re: It's a GO!!!
Florida weather in December is all over the place. It can be warm, even as warm as 85 on Christmas Day. It can also be cold, like 32 on Christmas Day. It's usually a dry month, but rainy days will happen, and they will be real rainy days, not summer rainy days. Now that I've scared you, most of the time, nights are in the 50s or 60s, days are usually upper 70s and maybe low 80s. You should pay attention to The Weather Channel Orlando 10 day forcasts starting about 2 weeks before you leave so you have an idea of what the weather looks like, and what you're likely to have. In short, plan to go to waterparks, but don't be disappointed if you can't. Bring warm weather stuff, but hedge your bets with a decent jacket and jeans.

Re: It's a GO!!!
Wa-hoo!! Congrats! I love WDW in December (I've only been once, and just for a long weekend, but it was great). Be sure to buy your MVMCP tickets!!
As for dining in Epcot, don't forget you also have all of those great restaurants in the Epcot resorts and on the Boardwalk to choose from!

Re: It's a GO!!!
As for weather in December, we have been twice in December, and each time have encountered crazy weather changes/swings in temperature. Just be prepared for a little bit of everything.

Re: It's a GO!!!
As for riding splash mountain, if it's a little chilly...just throw on a poncho and ride! Can't miss out on Splash Mountain just because it's not 85 degrees outside! (psst..sometimes I wear my poncho when it IS 85+ outside!)

Re: It's a GO!!!
We were there last December, some days were warm, some were chilly. MVMCP was pretty cold, so go prepared for everything. I think the best investment for the trip was the downfilled quilted vests. I found them on sale, so it didn't cost much (Kohl's or Target, maybe even Walmart) But they were great. Gave the added warmth when needed/we wore them open when it wasn't quite so chilly early in the evening. Great layering tool!! You're going to LOVE WDW in December...wish we were going too, but no plans until December 2008. DMom (Trailblazer) reminds us on a regular basis that her AP will still be current in December (the rest of ours expired in May.
 ) The German Biergarden is fun place to eat & dance, are you going to the Candlelight Processional?? It's beautiful!!! You can book a dinner package and get priority seating to the CP.

Re: It's a GO!!!
Congrats, mousemom!! I'll be there in early December! Have you picked which days you'll be there?
The dining plan page that DisneyTeacher linked to? Browse the rest of that site (allearsnet.com) for more info about the Candelight Processional. The princes vary, and you are limited to resturants according to these prices. (The Garden Grill at the land is on the lowest tier, while something like Le Cellier is on the highest priced tier. My family got something in the middle, and we're eating at the Rose and Crown in UK. I heard good things about it!) This will be our first time at the CP too; as I hear it its a show with beautiful Christmas music, and a celebrity reads the Christmas story from the Bible. Get tickets soon before the pickin's are all gone! If you can afford it, I'd also recommend Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP). It's a hard ticket event so you need to dish out close to 40 bucks for an evening of special Christmas joy in the Magic Kingdom! (My mom and I are doing this for the first time, she's probably more excited than I am!  ) I hear they have snow on Main Street!And I'm ditching the water rides, only cause I'm rarely in the mood to get wet anyway, and I get cold so easily! Planning is half the fun, mousemom, hope you have a wonderful time!! Are you going with just you and your brother?
