I'll Be Good Next Year- Fantasy Eastern NYE 13/14 Updates 6/17


At this point, the boys started to whine- really, they clearly wanted to be on their own. So we said good bye for a bit, with a promise to meet up at MS a bit later.




Look how they are only slightly humoring you here...HA!

That standby line for TT was Ridonkulous! Seriously, I have never seen it that long before. I hope that's because it was Christmas week and not because Magic Bands limiting your FP+ selections to 3 a day are causing that! :crazy2:

I loved Les Halles. We got to try it in August 2013. I particularly liked the white wine I had there, but cannot for the life of me remember what it was. I'm going to have to see if I can look it up....
 
What a fun day in Epcot :)
We were in WDW early December and loved seeing all the Storytellers and trying the yummy treats
They had gingerbread ice cream in France - AMAZING!
I can't wait to get back there and hit the mint choc chip :)
 
Subbing in because I have already seen some of the pictures and I am sure that I'm going to have some explaining to do when you get a few days further along. :)

Great start! Can't wait for the next installments....
 


Fun day. it really doesn't look too crowded for that time of year. I guess it could be worse.
I hope you can go next month too!!!!!!!! and that maybe we can run into each other again!!!
 
I love those snowman ornaments!


I'm in your neck of the woods this week...in Mt Laurel, NJ tomorrow...no idea where your house is from there.

I'm glad you liked the Glühwein. There are lots of different ones, but the Gerstacker Glühwein from Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt ist really one of the best! I only like Glühwein, when it's really cold, when you really need it to get warmer, otherwise it's to sweet for me. So I don't think i would drink some in Florida, even in December :)
 
Gotta love all the Christmas touches in Epcot - the decorations, the food, AND the speciality drinks. I loved your choices from the bakery in France. Really makes me want to stop there next trip!

Oh - and I need to try that spice wine from Germany. Guess I need another holiday trip!

Love the boys car design. Quite creative! :thumbsup2
 
Yes, you are doing a Christmas/NYE Report! Woo Hoo. So glad. Love reading your reports.

And seeing all your pictures I am seeing things that we definitely missed! And we were there for four days! It sure was beautiful during the Holidays.

Can't wait for the rest! :goodvibes
 
All caught up now! How cool that you ditched the family and did what YOU wanted! I'm glad you finally got to fulfill your dream of seeing WDW at Christmas. I do have to admit that having DL so accessible makes it easier to take that I have no plans in the near future to see Christmas at WDW, but someday... :rolleyes1 Until then I'll just have to live vicariously through yours and other TRs.

Definitely I ditch them if they are not interested with what I want to do! OR vice-versa. They know they are still loved, and I would have been thrilled to have them along- but they seriously wanted to do something else.

And I totally get why you have no plans to visit here for the Holidays- you live on DL's doorstep!! :jumping1:


Ooh - The Tipsy Ducks In Love drink looks yummy. All the food does. I love EPCOT!

It really was- I love Epcot too!!!!!!

All caught up !!Thanks to your links !!!I loved the Christmas Story tellers , that and the Osborne Lights were my biggest MUST DO's !!!The different resorts decorations were fantastic !!! I dfinately plan another trip that time of year again , but NOT this year !!!

Mornin Rosie! :goodvibes
Good choices on the Must-Dos- we did not see the Osbourne lights this trip, but have many times before, and they are incredible, right? Always makes me giggle like a little girl!


Look how they are only slightly humoring you here...HA!

You've got THAT right!! :rotfl2:

That standby line for TT was Ridonkulous! Seriously, I have never seen it that long before. I hope that's because it was Christmas week and not because Magic Bands limiting your FP+ selections to 3 a day are causing that! :crazy2:

It was the holiday, not the FP+ I believe. That was the only place it felt crowded-the rides- walking around, getting food and drinks, shopping- it could have been May.

I loved Les Halles. We got to try it in August 2013. I particularly liked the white wine I had there, but cannot for the life of me remember what it was. I'm going to have to see if I can look it up....

Was it Vouvray? That is one of my favorites- it is Chenin Blanc- really really a great grape.

Glad to see you started your new TR! Can't wait to see the Fantasy! :)

Hey there! :goodvibes Thanks for coming along again! The Fantasy is fantastic! Can't wait to start the cruise portion of our trip!:thumbsup2

What a fun day in Epcot :)
We were in WDW early December and loved seeing all the Storytellers and trying the yummy treats
They had gingerbread ice cream in France - AMAZING!
I can't wait to get back there and hit the mint choc chip :)

Always, always, there is a reason to go back....so many more stories to hear, so many more foods to eat....

Subbing in because I have already seen some of the pictures and I am sure that I'm going to have some explaining to do when you get a few days further along. :)

Why wait? Start explaining yourself now-



:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:



Great start! Can't wait for the next installments....

I can't wait either! I wonder what other embarrassing photos I'll be posting of you along the way??? :lmao:

J/K- we love you, you are never embarrassing, you are just a LOAD of fun!! :grouphug:
 
Love the update! Looking forward to the next…friends from Canada are always good eh. ;):thumbsup2

OH CANADA!!!!! :love: Have to say that since Christmas, i have met MORE wonderful people from Canada than I can count! Between the cruise and this trip I just took to Mexico with my girlfriends where we met so many wonderful and amazing people from your country, I am DEFINITELY a BIG fan! :woohoo: I feel very fortunate that I get to see 2 of them again when we go to Vancouver this summer- a couple who own some restaurants called Chewies. YAY!

Fun day. it really doesn't look too crowded for that time of year. I guess it could be worse.
I hope you can go next month too!!!!!!!! and that maybe we can run into each other again!!!

It really wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting! And OMG- I am really starting to lose it not knowing about next month! :headache: You said you come in on Saturday, right? Can't wait to hang!:yay: I HOPE!!!!!!!popcorn::

I love those snowman ornaments!

I know, me too! I didn't buy one because i didn't want to carry it to the cruise and then home- so I bought 2 bottles of wine and a big doll instead! :rotfl2:

Sorry, babe- that's like an hour from here and Tuesday is the day I have to go up and get Sean from school after his after-school program- are you here again or later? I live north of there, closer to NYC.

I'm glad you liked the Glühwein. There are lots of different ones, but the Gerstacker Glühwein from Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt ist really one of the best! I only like Glühwein, when it's really cold, when you really need it to get warmer, otherwise it's to sweet for me. So I don't think i would drink some in Florida, even in December :)

LOL- I figured this was the Yago Sangria of Gluhwein (which I would be appalled at drinking- I of COURSE have to make my own sangria). But not knowing any better, we really liked it! It was sweet, you are so right, but for some odd reason in this drink that was ok for us (we don't normally go for the sweet stuff at all, like you). I guess we don't know any better!


Gotta love all the Christmas touches in Epcot - the decorations, the food, AND the speciality drinks. I loved your choices from the bakery in France. Really makes me want to stop there next trip!

I want to go back- there are a TON of yummy things to choose from there-

Oh - and I need to try that spice wine from Germany. Guess I need another holiday trip!

Of COURSE you do!!!

Love the boys car design. Quite creative! :thumbsup2

Thanks! Fuel efficient and speedy quick, too, lol!

Yes, you are doing a Christmas/NYE Report! Woo Hoo. So glad. Love reading your reports.

CHRIS!! :love: Of course I am- it just took me forever to start!

And seeing all your pictures I am seeing things that we definitely missed! And we were there for four days! It sure was beautiful during the Holidays.

We missed so much- I would love to go back in the end of Nov into the beginning of Dec sometime-

Can't wait for the rest! :goodvibes

Great! thanks!!!
 
I'm in Philly on business this week preparing for the Snowcopolypse!

Hi Ellen! Told you I would be right over! I can't wait to read what you have so far but I just had to comment - WE were at the BWV on the MAIN floor right off the elevator in a studio!! After all our messages to try and meet for a margarita and you were practically next door. One of these days we will meet in person :thumbsup2

I'm going to subscribe and come back later to read some more!
 
You are really an uber updater on this one!:thumbsup2 I love that you went to MK solo - fun to just be able to do what you want and just take it all in. Nice start to your second day. Good thing you had some FP+ going on with that crowd.

All of the food around the world looks really good - kind of like an extended F&W - do they have it through the Holidays now?
 
I can't wait for the bra story! How did we miss that??? The next time you cruise with men who wear bras, I hope we're on that one with you!! ;)

Jodie
 
subbing in. Looking forward to reading your TR. We just got home from our first ever cruise and with teenagers too - curious to see how your cruise went.
We loved ours!
 
I come in Friday night and staying at POFQ for that 1 night. The next day we are hitting Epcot and moving to offsite at my parents timeshare. I am not liking being offsite, but it does keep the cost down at least!!!!
