Holiday joy fills the air as WDW becomes transformed into a winter wonderland. Hear songs of wonder, see beautiful floral displays and walk down Main Street as "snow" gently falls from the sky.

We are going to WDW in December:

The lime green ribbon is worn by some members of these boards so that we can recognise each other whilst we are on our vacation and stop and chat - that said the only people who have stopped me have been Cast Members!

there'll be plenty of ribbons when you go as there'll be loads of people attending the DIS Convention - maybe we'll bump into each other

Me(37), and DH(43) will be at WL 11/30-12/7. This is our first
time at Disney during the holidays. I can't wait to see everthing all decorated. We are hoping to book an illumination cruise sometime during our week there. We did this 2 yrs ago in Sept.
it was so much fun. It's nice to know there are other adults like us, we don't have kids but we love to go to disney every year.

I may not remember to wear a ribbon, but if anyone sees a big guy with shoulder length blond dreadlocks, that's probably me.

I'll be doing the Resort Hopping thing in December, too!

December 7-17:

December 7-9: WL
December 9-12: OKW (studio)
December 12-17: BCV (1 BR)

This will be the longest trip I've taken to WDW. My record was 9 nights, but this breaks the record with 10 nights! :smooth:

The Disney Dudettes are going on the 7 day Disney Cruise on 10/19/02 and we are talking on that forum but the Dudettes are going to WDW from 12/07/02-12/13/02. We are three adult women who go to Disney a minimum of once a year but usually much more frequently. Last year we went in December and absolutely loved it! The weather was perfect (80's every day without the rain), no crowds, Christmas decor. & the choral recital in Epcot (a must see for adults). We are staying at The Dolphin for the first time. We wanted to have quick access to Epcot since we are usually going back and forth but Boardwald (where we stayed before) & Yacht & Beach were just too expensive. DU had a great deal for Nurses (all 3 of us are nurses) for $129.00 a night.

We will wear our lime green ribbons in hopes that we can catch up with other adult Disneyers. I will keep an eye on the Board as the day gets closer.

:smooth: :smooth: :smooth: That's for the 3 Dudettes!

We'll keep an eye out for you at The Dolphin and in the parks. Just look for our lime green ribbons!:p We are three Southern New Jersey ladies (about 10 minutes from Philadelphia) who make great traveling companions and love Disney.:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc That's the three of us.

BriarRosie

09-09-2002, 06:48 PM

Hee hee. Dudettes, meet one of the Three Caballeras. (There were three of us ladies rooming at the Polynesian....it was a blast!)

The next trip for the three of us together is the Disney Magic in January, but December is my next trip.

I saw that Tina already put up the Red Hot Disney Divas trip for next November! Even I'm not *that* bad with countdowns. LOL!

RussH

09-09-2002, 07:57 PM

Next trip in early December will be a split this time. First 4 nights 6th-9th over at Royal Pacific then 10th -14th at ASMu. Dec is always a solo and ASMu is just fine for me.

It's been 20 years since I was at WDW during the holidays, and I can't wait!

DISCON is 12/4 through 12/8. Everyone there during that time should keep their eyes open for lime green lanyards and lime green ribbons :) I hope I get to meet a lot of DISers. So if you see someone with a lime green ribbon, don't be shy...say something!

Lemur

10-29-2002, 04:02 PM

Here's my dilemma.

I'm due to do a flying 4 day trip with my girlfriend in early December ( 6 th through 11 th ).

I fancy a few days extra at the front end for Christmas shopping, chilling out etc but she can't do it for work reasons.

She's cool with me doing it on my own ( no other option really ) but I'd really like a drinking and park buddy so I don't feel too much like a loner.

I'd also LOVE to join up with you DISCONers .. and put a few faces to names .. make some new friends .. you know the deal !

Anyone fancy filling those shoes ?

nativetxn

10-29-2002, 11:11 PM

Watch for lime green lanyards and ribbons. There will be a lot of us at WDW during that time frame. I'd love to meet you.

I am going for my first SOLO trip from Nov 29th - Dec 4th at POR. I am very excited! I have a ticket to MVMCP on the 1st and I want to see the Candlelight Processional on Friday, Nov 29th at 5pm. I think I will start to line up at 4pm. Is that adequate time?

See ya there!

Karen :Pinkbounc

P.S. Not yet feeling guilty about leaving my 6, 4 and 2 year olds home... they were just there 10/10 - 10/19!

I'll be there from 11/28 - 12/8. The first 3 nights are solo and then my parents are joining me for their first visit to WDW from 12/1 - 12/8.

Looking forward to Candlelight Processional on the 29th and then again on the 5th.

No MVMCP this year - it happens after my parents bed time!

11-13-2002, 01:06 AM

Wow -- all of these people here during DIS-con but not mentioning actually attending DIS-con!?!?

I am going to try to drop in during DIS-con, at least for "Drink Around the World" and Karaoke on the 4th.

Lemur, you might want to check out DATW if you want a drinking buddy. You just might find 30 or so!

Is everyone checking out the DIS-con board for unofficial mini-meets?

TarraLee

11-17-2002, 11:32 PM

Dh and I will be at WL 12/15/-12/19 (my birthday!). This is our first trip onsite and our first Christmas time trip and our first solo trip (meaning no parents or friends along, we don't have kids).

Hope to see some LGRs! :) It would be the first time I met a real life DISer too!

nativetxn

11-18-2002, 11:18 PM

Lemur, there are at least three DISers from the UK who will be attending DISCON.

Doc, DATW is 12/5 and Lemur isn't arriving until 12/6.

There will be a "hoisting" meet, LOL, on 12/6, Lemur that begins at 2PM:

2:00 PM - ??

Rose & Crown Brew Hoisting Meet $

Location: Rose & Crown Pub - EPCOT

Host: Zurg

For those who want to hoist something besides Tea, To last during both Tea Meets.

You will find lots of drinking buddies there, I'm sure.

Here is a link to all of the unofficial (and official too) activities planned before, during and after the official convention.
