Glad I went with BA this year, then! Was a toss up between the two, but looks like I'll be back in time for Yeovil. 
You'll have a brilliant time. I'm lucky enough to have been 10 times or so - the last time July just gone. The Animal Kingdom Lodge is lovely resort and Boma is a fantastic place to eat at.
I've not been for Christmas itself, but been just before Christmas. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is a great evening. It seems strange to say but it can feel very Christmasy in central Florida!
Bugger. I hope they sort this out... I am meant to be commuting to Edinburgh Mon-Fri all three of those weeks.
SORT IT OUT, YOU WORK-SHY COMMIES!

Just received this email from Virgin re their affected flights;

Dear Traveller,
As you may have heard, some of our cabin crew members have voted for industrial action in January despite their union, Unite, strongly endorsing our recent pay offer.
Our main priority now is to ensure that we can still get our passengers to their destination as scheduled. We don't want to let anyone down so have put in place thorough contingency plans, enabling us to run nine out of ten flights on each of the days affected by the action.
Currently, only the flights below will be affected:
Departing from the UK:
Flight No. Departure Date From To
VS25 9, 10, 16, 17 January 2008 London Heathrow New York (JFK)
VS39 9, 10, 16, 17 January 2008 London Heathrow Chicago
VS11 9, 10 January 2008 London Heathrow Boston
VS671 16, 17 January 2008 London Heathrow Nairobi
Departing from outside the UK:
Flight No. Departure Date From To
VS26 10, 11, 17, 18 January 2008 New York (JFK) London Heathrow
VS40 9, 10, 16, 17 January 2008 Chicago London Heathrow
VS12 9, 10 January 2008 Boston London Heathrow
VS672 16, 17 January 2008 Nairobi London Heathrow
If you are booked on a flight listed above, you will be rebooked on an alternative flight. Please visit www.virginatlantic.com for details.
If your flight is not listed, we intend to operate it as normal and get you to your destination, so please check in and enjoy your journey as usual.
I would like to apologise to our passengers whose travel plans may be affected, and reassure all those who are travelling with us that our number one priority is to get you to your destination on time.
