PART TWO *December 2012 Roll Call* Holidays, FLE & MVMCP!! A very, merry thread!

Anybody have a good point & shoot they like? Something small and cheap.

I have a Sony CyberShot that I love, it was $300 but we bought it last year so it is possibly its cheaper.

DS hasn't had a good start for this year either. He broke his wrist over the summer and couldn't play gym until 3 weeks ago. Then I had to pick him up from school last week b/c he was throwing up a little bit (turned out it was from the post nasal drip due to his seasonal allergies). And on top of that, last Thursday, he went to a classmate's b-day party and sprained his ankle . He couldn't participate in gym this week as well as next Monday. After Monday, he can participate again.

As far as dieting, I'm still trying to lose the 4lbs I gained back in April when we went to PA for a few days. Eating out everyday caused me to gain weight.

Oh geez! Ill take the colds and germs over injuries! Here to the next few weeks being healthy and injury for all of us!

Since we are getting close to the limit on this thread, could you put a link to the 3rd thread when you start it (if that's possible since this has been moving like wildfire lately)? I have a feeling it might just get there tonight or by tomorrow morning if this keeps up.

Thanks!

The last thread went to about page 252 or so. I actually had a Mod close it then. It's tech supposed to close at 250. I will put a link to Pt 3 on the first page (post #1) and the last page as well (if I can).

I will wait to start Pt 3 till we get up to the end again.

I will post this a few times in the next couple pages to come asking eager peeps to give me the first 3 posts on that thread so I can bookmark them for all the info we have on here.

Ugh

I so did not want to look anymore at FLE photos so as to have a surprise. I couldn't resist today. I will NOT watch any future ride thru videos of LM. (EDIT: Laughing as a video just popped up on WDWMagic.) I need some surprises!

Just wish we could be there today to see it all---but at least we will all be there soon enough.

For those of you doing MK with toddlers----

How are you planning to tour FL/FLE, assuming you are there for rope drop? I am just trying to figure out what will be the priority. Pan/Pooh then off to LM and Belle? Then SBL? hmmm and hmmm

I will be with my 4 yr old and 15 mo old and I've been thinking about the same thing! I was thinking of going directly to FLE. Enchanted tales w/Belle will have FP right? I think this area will get busy quickly so I'd like to get it down first thing!

Another thing I've been worried about...Does everyone that goes to the story time w/Belle get to play a part?

From what I have read, you have to volunteer, but most or all get parts. They still might tweek all this by the time of the official opening.

[1stvisit0909]

well my goodness what all I have missed!!!

Ok, so the doctor said my tingly hands are from West Nile, even though we dont have the blood test back yet

So back to bed for me. But, I couldnt resist some shopping for our trip!!

I looked into the christmas trees delivered by Disney Florist

And promptly went to Amazon. I ordered a mini tree, some window clings, multi lights and some ADorable mickey head ornaments. add the girls stockings with some command strips and we are good to go!

yeah!

I'm a Nikon girl ... only cuz my Dad is a passionate photographer and has always used Nikon so I've grown up brand-loyal. For point & shoot I have a Nikon Coolpix which was about $100. It has a lot of features, takes a good picture and is easy to use. The best thing though is its really really small & light so no trouble to carry around. Oh, and I was able to get it in pink

Aww I wanted the Orioles to win. Hope your Cards win. Moment of silence for my Reds.

Me too.

Its ok, I can talk baseball again - I'm almost healed

Ditto... Except out MK day is a Sunday, not Saturday.

Same here except our MK is on a Monday with evening EMH. MK is always my first park.

 

[cara76]

It's called schedule planner.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Ok guys I really want to do Chef Mickey's but I can't find any openings that aren't at 9pm the week of Dec. 10-16. If anyone sees any let me know please. Should I be stalking dining reservations daily?

Soon, my oldest started preschool and seems to bring home a new illness every week... Blah! She's a toughie it's my 15 month old that turns into a cuddly little beast!!

It's a life style change- gotta try your best and since you physically can't exercise the diet part is great! I find that harder than exercising.... Well hopefully everything starts feeling better soon like 49 days soon!!!!

So all this camera talk has me excited to bring my DSLR this trip. We moved to picturesque NH and I stopped taking pictures (lots of emotional stuff, losing my dad, PPD, just life has been off for 6 years) So still working through stuff but trying to do some things I loved before. So, my big dilemma I don't want to carry a large camera bag but I have 3 lenses and a flash... It's tight though... So my big debate, larger camera bag (no!) 2 lenses ( ) or stuff it in and go with it?

I am having the same debate with myself. I really don't want to have to carry my camera bag everywhere it gets HEAVY.

That totally makes sense. I think you have convinced me to do DHS EMH.

My TA (yes, I booked with a TA...before I learned of the DIS) is trying to convince me into adding park hoppers onto our tickets. I'm not sure when we'd use it based on our schedule. I'm gonna ask her when she thinks we would use it. I'm torn about it. Thoughts?

I got this small national geographic bag... It works well minus the whole not fitting everything!!

You could add them on down there... We use them but it works with our schedule set up.... How much is it again? $55?

Personally I like the freedom of skipping around too- however you also have a lot of ADRs too.. Right?

I recommend Park Hoppers to all of my friends and family. We don't follow a strict schedule, and there have been many times we have gone to a park, found it too crowded and hopped to a different park. AK and DHS don't take all day, so it goes the option of 2 parks on those days.
