Good Morning MouseOwners!

It's 8 days to Hanukkah, 9 days to the Solstice, 13 days to Christmas, and 19 days to New Year's Eve. Epcot has a really cool tradition this time of year - Storytellers from each pavilion sharing that country's holiday/New Year's traditions. Which is your favorite and why? Let us know in this thread (and share pictures, if you can).

The Big News

As fletchdawgg summarizes, the DVC annual meeting gave usfive tidbits of news that have made many of us happy or even salivating for points. Of course, Pecos Bill alerted us to the biggest news: Claire Bilby announces the Grand Floridian DVC! I don't think we were expecting the news to break this early.

The other news includes a phased roll out of online booking, starting in January, availability of the Tables in Wonderland card to DVC members (AP purchase no longer necessary), and new channels to the cable line-up.

We've also got speculations threads. Salmoneous invites us to speculate on what the reallocated points charts will look like.
Henrycpa91 is taking a poll on the price point for the Grand Floridian Villas.

And Aulani is not to be forgotten. Sir Aaron watched Saturday's Aulani webcast and wonders did you?

Questions for the Pros

In our planning threads, onehecticmom seeks advice on managing multiple home resorts. Bwv dreamin is looking for a primer on transferring points. Any advice, experience to share?

Dining

Brp had a great trip but shares Two "meh" dining reviews of Flying Fish and Shula's. Suejen wants to know if she should choose Narcoossee's or Citrico's? And PAJD alerted us that Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Channel featured Disneyland It's sure to be repeated, but if you saw it, what did you think?
