PHOTOS: 2017 Christmas Tree Trail Opens at Disney Springs with 10 New Trees

 

[AMusicLifeForMe]

Per the Disney Springs Website it lists the holiday events as being from:

• November 9, 2017 - January 7, 2018

(not sure if that one day makes a difference to you or not Zach)

Good thing it doesn’t. I’ll be there from Dec. 29-Jan. 7th. I just know some Christmas decorations come down around the time I get there so just wanted to make sure. Thank you!

Never done a cruise but that looks pretty great.

Definitely pretty cool how they pull it all together. It is interesting that they only have certain shows on certain ships ... we have our first Disney Cruise booked in February, but we are on the Wonder so we will get the Frozen show

Someday I will get on a cruise but I wouldn't want the same show on every ship anyways. Gives an incentive to try out the different ships.

I know. There are still so many places I want to try and they keep adding more.

Thanks @TheMaxRebo. I did end up finding on the DS website a thing saying the trail closes at 10pm. I was hoping for later because we're going down just for the weekend, and I might have gone Friday night.

The upside is that you won't need to get an adr a million days in advance. With as many eateries as there are in place now, you should be able to get a seat as a walk up, in a reasonable amount of time.

Glad you found your info - to be honest I had a lot of trouble navigating the Disney springs website other than huge images with very little info

Very true. I had an ADR for Homecomin in June but really didn't need it.

This isn't really news but...

I've been having some problems with the WDW website. It won't process my credit card payments. It's not my card - I was able to pay with that card by phone. And when I attempt to put my room location preferences in the "online check-in" section, no options appear on the drop-down menu.

Anyone else having these problems?

I had the drop down menu issues.

I don't think they have the most helpful website... I actually saw hours for individual stores too, and I'm not sure I remember seeing that the last time I looked on there when I was planning my Sept trip.

My dad had the drop down menu issue, but I did not. He eventually called.

I remember someone reporting a similar issue a few weeks ago, with no resolution. Did you try a different internet browser, I think I remember the person was using safari.

I'm also going on my first Disney cruise on the Wonder! We are doing the Southern Caribbean that starts on Jan 27.

I found that problem a couple months ago....drop down for room requests was up then down, then up and has now been down for weeks.... ugh. Better to call in (or have your TA call in) and also recheck within a week or your arrival to be sure your request are on your reservation.

We did our first in April, and are probably doing our 3rd in Feb. They are so much fun. But yeah, it's really smart to put shows on dif ships, it's big part of the reason we are trying a different ship.
