That is what I am hoping. I am not sure when the out of town crowd starts to arrive but there certainly will be less passholders. I wish I could give you better info but this will be my first Christmas visit.
DH and I did this tour a few years ago. We loved it! Lots of fun, even if we knew quite a bit of the behind-the-scene information already. We've talked about doing it again.
Hey, isn't DH supposed to surprise YOU with such a cool B-Day Present?Sounds like a cool way to spend your 40th - my DW and I spent mine at WDW and Universal Orlando
We'll be in the park at the same time as you all, see you around the parks!
We are officially two weeks out from our trip - we'll literally be in DLR at this time on the 26th!
My sister and I did this December 2012 and loved it! It was really special.
. Does anyone have a favorite QS breakfast place in DL Park that they would suggest us going to? I know there isn't too many options for breakfast there and I was thinking of just heading over to Starbucks, but I have a feeling it will be crazy crowded in there too. Another idea was to head over to Jolly Holiday and get some pastries and coffee (DH will probably get a breakfast sandwich). What is everyone's thoughts?
I didn't know this! I mainly did it for Walt's apartment as well but I would love to get into the Dream Suite!
Just looked at the hours that are posted on the Disney website for Christmas day. Both DCA and DL Park have EMH from 7am -8am and then DCA is open from 8am - 10pm and DL Park is open from 8am - midnight. We are going to DL park that day, thought of starting out at DCA and then hopping over to DL Park but now we are just going to stay in DL Park the entire day (don't want to worry about closures and we cannot get in). I am so glad that I made 2 dining reservations for that day (CC for lunch and BB with the Fantasmic dining package). We knew that day will be crazy and since we normally like to head back to the resort for some R&R before heading back for the night time activities, we decided that our R&R will be when we are sitting down and eating and getting away from the crowds and if it takes a while to eat, then so be it
That's what they told me as well. I'm going to go all fangirl in there!

AS far as quick service restaurants then yes those two options are about your best choices. But from memory (and I might be wrong) Jolly holiday isn't open before rope drop. So if your going before rope drop then you are limited to starbucks in disneyland. If I am wrong someone else please correct me
You can always grab something outside of the park before you enter as well. One option would be la-brea-bakery quick service menu. Its just before the security checkin. I have put the menu link below.

.
Yes they are mailed about 3 weeks before and someone over 18 must sign. I get notifications from ups and post office whenever something is being mailed to my address. I can't remember for sure but i think they notify you before it will e delivered.
