how far in advance do we need to contact you to get a bid and have the work done?
contact your local service provider as early as possible. the decorating season is short, and our schedules tend to fill up by mid-november.

hi kerrye - i'd recommend that you keep calling, from now until september. when cancellations occur, the system is updated pretty much immediately, so you never know when there will be an opening. good luck! i checked with a cast member in guest services regarding your question, and they notified me that they are currently taking reservations for disney vacation packages about 500 days in advance. when i calculate your desired visit dates, i see that you are very close to being able to reserve them. Hi there!


It depends, from a few days up to 2-4 weeks or so. If longer, you can contact HR directly and ask.

All the best,
GB hi rob! sorry to hear that your gift card order is going to be late. a month seems like an awfully long time. the good news is that disney gift cards are available all throughout the walt disney world parks and resorts. you should have no problem getting them once you arrive. i hope this helps and i wish you a magical vacation!! :) chris hi kathy - sorry you are disappointed. in my experience, what the agent stated is correct - they decorate the rooms after you check in. i think this is just in case there are any last minute room changes made. it's still a huge surprise - especially after a long, tiring day in the parks! have a great vacation! hi valerie: although subject to change every year, disney typically starts putting up christmas decorations around the first week of november. by thanksgiving, expect to see the parks fully decorated for the holidays. in true disney fashion, the decorations are generally set up at night, as if by magic. i can't guarantee that decorations in november 2015 will be up during your visit, but depending on the length of your stay, you may start to notice more and more christmas and holiday decorations every day where you did not see them the day before. weather in november generally hovers in the low 80's (fahrenheit) or upper 70's. the weather may dip into the 60's or high 50's at night and early morning, so i would bring layers of clothes. hurricane season, which starts in the summer, tends to taper off by early october, so hopefully you won't see much precipitation in november. enjoy your vacation. most automated banking payment systems won't have been told deceember 25th is different from any other day. 

the credit may not reach another account until the 27th but if you pay on time, they can't complain. if you're worried about it, pay it on the 24th. hey kristi! yes, you can make dining reservations even before you have a room reserved! you can make reservations up to 180 days prior to your visit. book online or call 407-wdw-dine or (407) 939-3463. you are looking at a fantastic time to see disney world! there are tons of special holiday happenings, like the candlelight processional and mickey's very merry christmas party that make it all the more magical. thank you for thinking of the disney moms panel when you had a question; please let us know if we can help again. i hope that your december trip is full of that special disney magic and memories! you can book room reservations or plan a magic your way vacation package as far as 499 days in advance. this will allow you to book a room, add tickets, possible dining plans and more, with only a small deposit and a payment plan. If the payment book is all you need, then call them and get one.
