I took that as permission and am planning a Christmas trip. I've heard WL has the best decorations. Although, it is going to be hard to pass up the new Art of Animation resort....hmmmm....maybe a split stay?? I am leaving in a week and plan to do alot of resort hopping, so I will check out AoA and see how it is.
Joining in too! Nothing is set in stone yet, but we are tentatively planning a first week of Dec trip. My hubby's first time was this past Feb. We stayed at the Poly and it was INCREDIBLE! We had dinner at Whispering Canyon over at Wilderness Lodge and we fell in love with it. Hubby said "okay, if I am ever forced to come here again...we are staying here."
Absolutely. You can change your reservation as many times as you want. If you book a package, you have to have it paid off 45 days in advance. Once you pay it off, you can't make anymore changes. Room-only packages don't need to be paid off until you arrive, so there is a little more flexibility with them. But yeah, you absolutely can make changes.
Have fun on your trip and definitely post and let us know what you think about AoA!
Can't wait to check it out in person. I almost switched from POFQ to AoA for this July trip, but where it is just myself and another adult, I thought the suite was a bit much 
So excited to see this thread! We are planning to go back to the World around the second to third week in December depending on dh work schedule. I love Disney in December and this will be our third trip at Christmas time. Can't wait to get into planning and I am so excited that prices will be out tomorrow!!! 
Pop Warner will be there December 1-8, 2013.

I wouldn't be so sure of this. The more I read the more I believe they will be there the week of Dec. 8-14.
Pop Warner does typically go the first full week of December. However being that the first weekend is part of the holiday weekend (which does not typically coincide with the first weekend in December), I believe that this will not hold true for several reasons...Number one, the calendar year for November/December 2013 exactly mirrors the calendar year for 2002 (Thanksgiving on Nov. 28) so I looked at historical Pop Warner dates for 2002 and their dates for that year were Dec. 8 - 14. Second, I saw someone else said that they always have some big competition Thanksgiving weekend also, so there is little chance they would travel that weekend. Also, Disney is very crowded that weekend following Thanksgiving usually, so I can't imagine Disney would agree to discount block rooms for Pop Warner during a high-crowd time period like that, as it would be actually a money losing thing for them. Pop Warner always takes place during a slow week for Disney.
Hope that information helps someone...it's still good to be flexible because you never know for SURE until the dates are in black & white, but my deductive reasoning skills tell me that it's a safe bet Pop Warner week for 2013 will be Dec 8 - 14.
