I'm so excited to read your Halloween trip, but it is very sad to see this one coming to an end. It was an awesome TR! :-)

I know, I can't believe it either! But yes it's so soon! I'm very very excited! I don't know how I'm going to be documenting yet but tumblr seems like a good bet!

Thank you so much! I am excited to write about it! Aww I'm glad you enjoyed this one - it was my favorite one to write!

Have a great trip! Thank you!

My sister is also going to be doing the Spring Advantage program in merchandise. She did the program last fall and loved it. Maybe you guys will meet each other when you're down there.

Anyways, I loved all of the holiday posts. The holidays are one of my favorite times to go.

Thank you for posting! Yes, I am absolutely thrilled! Aww is she? That's cool! Me and her should get in contact on facebook! Perhaps we will!

Thank you so much! Me too!

I LOVED reading about your trip and want to go to Disney around Christmas time so bad. Thank you for sharing your wonderful trip!

I'm glad you were here and I'm glad it provided some entertainment to you during your free moments I hope you get to someday! You're so welcome!

Aww thank you! I'm so glad! I am super excited for the DCP too! Maybe you will run into me at some point! And aww that's adorable - I bet she will!

The last mornings of a trip are awful. Leaving Disney World is seriously depressing, isn't it? At least you were able to have a last minute fix at breakfast at Chef Mickey's!

Jonathan's face on the ME to the airport is priceless. He's so sad

Yes I do! Disney all the time!

They really are! I don't like leaving The character meal was a great way to go, though!

I know! We were all sad. It was SUCH a great trip!

Now, off to your Oct TR

Aww haha I'm glad you liked it and that it was informative!

You're welcome! And thank YOU for reading!

See you there!

We're hoping to book up a last minute Nov/Dec 2012 trip so seeing the Christmas decorations was really exciting. I'm now subscribing to your next Trip Report and I'm going to love reading all about your DCP experience.

We've been to WDW numerous times as a couple (me and DH) but more recently have enjoyed introducing our baby boy to all things Disney. Sadly we've never stayed on site but maybe one day ... !

Haha you're a fast reader! I'm so glad that you found it and that you liked it enough to read it all day long! That's wonderful! Thank you for the compliments!!

Ooh I hope you get to go on that trip! That would be awesome! Thank you!

Aww how adorable! You definitely should look into staying onsite.. it truly makes the experience!

Thank you again for reading!

Woohoo! It really was! That's okay, I'm really not even sad because I'm SO excited! Yes we definitely should!! Thanks for reading!

Wow... I'm really sad this TR is over. I joined in late but I totally enjoyed every moment. I'm also subscribed to your TR with Kristen & HHI, and will follow your new one, but this one was truly special and magical. Thanks for sharing everything! I'm (selfishly) disappointed that your DL trip didn't work out because I may be going for a day in March - we're flying to CA for a wedding - and I was looking forward to a thorough report from you! But I'm glad you're excited for your new WDW trip. It will truly be a special one since it will be your last as a 100% guest Thanks again for putting in so much time to make this a truly fantastic TR!

Aww me too! I'm so glad you found the report and enjoyed it! Hopefully the other trip reports will also be fun to read for you! But I agree there was definitely something special about this one! You're welcome!

Haha aww I'm sorry the DLR trip is off. We will go one day but it may not be for a while. I am SUPER excited about going back to WDW. I just can't get enough!! I'm glad I have one more chance to be a guest!

You're so welcome! Thank you for reading! I truly appreciate each and every one of my readers and the support you gave me!

508,just in case you haven't heard,"Channel 18 Stacey" was in New Fantasyland last week filming a NF update for the "Must Dos"!

Here is a picture(she has on her frumpy "Must Do" clothes!).

I'm also sad for the end of this TR. It was really the first in depth report that turned me on to searching out other TRs (including your friends) but I'm so excited for the new one!

We will miss each other by literally one day this holiday season, but I'm glad we will both be there. Whoo Hoo!! And the tip list is definitely coming with us. Already received the carriage necklaces from EBay and can't wait to surprise my daughter in Japan!

So glad for your DCP acceptance and placement. I hope it's everything you want and more! Keep moving toward your dreams!!

Well, I am going to post about it soon. But we put the Disneyland trip on the back burner. Because of the DCP, we would be going to California, coming back, and then moving me right down to Florida. It would have been way too hectic right now. But we had to use up our DVC points from the California trip before January 31st, so we booked New Year's Ever at THE YACHT CLUB for a little family vacation! I'm extremely excited.

That is awesome still!! I looked for you when I was down there in October but didn't see you!!! Hopefully we make it down again while you are on CP -- your trip reports really hooked me onto the DIS!! Thanks for another great report!! See you on your newest!!

[MilitaryMouse]

Loved your trip report! We're planning a December trip, so your trip report was super helpful and fun to read. Congrats on the DCP!!!

[michael's mom]

Another great TR Jess! I can understand why it was one of your best trips ever. You had so many great experiences. I'm looking forward to reading this next one.

I'll be down to Disney in April...if you see a crazy lady and her 2 kids waving at you...it could be me


Going to sub in to your Oct. TR!

[POLY1985]

Wow can't believe your wonderful TR is done. This was one of the best I've ever read. I loved seeing WDW at Christmas time. I have already subscribed to the next one and I'm really looking forward to your DCP reports.

[flyergrad09]

I can't believe it's over! I've enjoyed reading your TR so much because most of my WDW trips have been at Christmas, so it's like reliving my past trips all over again.

That stinks that you guys had some travel issues with missing the DME bus and then being dropped off at the wrong gate. But at least you made it everywhere on time!

Post Disney depression is the WORST. Especially when you don't have another trip planned. BUT NOW YOU GET TO LIVE/WORK AT DISNEY!!

[MegRose1107]

Congrats on being accepted in to the DCP!! The DCP is something I wish I would have done, but I FINALLY graduate with my masters in December so its a tad bit too late To answer your question about storage places, there is one in Celebration that does have places for cars. It's called Celebration Self Storage, hopefully they will be able to help you out! I can't wait to read about your experiences in the DCP!

[ChattaAlley]

Well, I hate to see it come to an end but I am equally happy to start your new TR AND then be able to hear about all your happenings on your DCP. ECK!! Should be a blast even for me who gets to live vicariously through you

[Curiouser&curiouser!]

Thank you for sharing your trip! I love your trip reports.

Is it bad that I am worried you will be too busy once you get down there for the College program that I will have less to read about on the DIS? SO SELFISH!

Seriously though, I can't wait to read about that too!

[katt789]

Booo to the sadness of it being over, but hey, there's another one on the go! Yay! The last day is always so sad, and I really do like having a meal on the last morning, you gotta have that last chance Disney food.

I definitely feel the same about getting home and being all "I'm hungry, but I don't want anything that's not Disney food!" Ha.

Traveling "home" seriously sucks, there's nothing as awesome to look forward to as Disney, so when you're leaving, it's just sad!

I'm so happy that you get to live your dream, and I'm super excited to meet you in Jan during your CP. It's gonna be so awesome! (and hopefully I'll hear back sometime soon and we'll be working down there together!!)

I've already opened your next TR! ha! I certainly do love reading all about your Disney trips, your TR's are great!

[Bethislucy]

Great Trips! Thanks for sharing them with us all.
