gabbysmom04,
We stayed at home and had a BBQ too. Since we live in the tourist captiol of the U.S. we usually don't go anywhere on holidays because of the crowds. Accept at Christmas. We hit all the parks, hotels, universal, sea world to see the decorations.
At WDW the biggest display is at MGM, the Osborne family festival of lights. At last count I believe it was over 5 million lights, and of course it is snowing and sometimes carolers are singing too. It usually starts about 7 p.m. It can get pretty crowded right at the start. We usually go about 8 p.m. on a week night. If you like the gingerbread house at the GF, you might want to check out the yacht and beach club, they have a gingerbread carousel that is really neat to see. And at Epcot, in the American Pavilion they have another gingerbread house to see in the restaurant. In the Contempory Hotel, on the same level as all the shops they have a small display of gingerbread houses that people have made. They are very creative with their ingredients and fun to see.
Well it's time for me to get an update on hurricane Dennis. WE got hit with 3 out of 4 hurricanes last year at our house. Twice the eye went right over the top of us. We had no damage to our home, but the neighbors had lots of damage. We are out in the country, and if we get stranded, we are on our own. We do have a generator, with gas, drinking water, extra food, a BBQ to cook on if needed and lots of batteries for the radio. And since we have a new house as of January, this time we will have a pool to cool off in if we loose our air conditioning. We save the generator for the freezer and frig and lights, with ceiling fans.
Hope you have a great weekend,
mom x4,grandma x4 Kathy
thanks again!
They are big Mickey Yellow slippers. They make you look like you have Mickey feet. They are big and take some getting use to walking in, they are so comfy, and feel like your walking on air. Now I have the Mickey Hands and feet and ears. 
At that point they reserve most of the entrances for their guests that are staying on property hotels. Which is a nice perk for them. 
My cats may lead a revolt If we don't start being home more. Poor babies. All we do is sleep, get up and leave again 
No if's ands or buts, it is booked and we are going!!! Plus we always do a few 3 day weekends here and there when DH can get an extra day off. This fall we want to stay at AK resort or Wilderness lodge for a weekend. That sounds funny because we drive to WDW all the time. But it's nice to just stay there sometimes for a couple of nights. I may take a trip to Oregon this fall too so I can see my mother. 
I hate to fly and have never done it alone, so I need to think about that. 
And it's very expensive.
someone please wish me some luck!!!!!!!!!!!
