@Newsies - excited to join all of you! I've been to MVMCP but my family hasn't, so we booked a long weekend 11/15-11/18 at AKV (Jambo value studio). Depending on flights and such, we might back down to the 16th - 18 but my goal is to fly in Thursday night, spend the day enjoying AKL for the first time, do MVMCP on Friday night, resort hop ('Ohana for breakfast, 1900 Park Fare for dinner) & DS to see all of the decorations on Saturday, then fly home on Sunday.
We plan on doing MVMCP on 11/16 as well. We should arrive that morning depending on if SW still has the early nonstop flight we usually take.
