My suitcase was 50.0 and mom's was 50.5!!!! We made it by the skin of our teeth!!!

Well we made it to the gate, security was interesting, I feel like everything we do is a 3 ring circus.
I've seen lots of Disney-bound people already!

Safe travels!! I feel like our bags are always ridiculously close to the weight limit also- mine was 49.5 when we left Boston for WDW last time! Can't wait to hear more live reports

What a day!!!!!!

I don't even know where to start! But I guess the best place is to start back with our arrival at the Wilderness Lodge. We haven't stayed here in many years but we eat here quite often so we knew the Christmas decorations would be beautiful.
By the time we finished check-in it was about 4:30 so we unpacked and put up our Christmas tree and stockings. Then we headed down to the lounge for appetizers. I took a bunch of pics!!

Our room:

Our view:

I didn't request a specific room number but I did ask for a "nice view" and I said we enjoyed our view last time because we could see the EWP. Needless to say we don't have a view of much from this location. Sort of disappointing, but no big deal.

The room does feel small, but that's just because we've stayed in some big rooms lately (BWI deluxe room, YC, CR). However, putting away our clothes and utilizing drawers helped with floor space. It does feel a bit tight with 4 full sized people.
(As I type this I can hear an owl outside hooting!!)

Next, here are some pics from the lounge appetizers! They had a lot of great stuff tonight.

Good morning everyone! We have a full day planned today! Epcot this morning, lunch at Rose & Crown, then hopping the boat to Hollywood Studios to do our 3 fastpasses for Toy Story Mania, Frozen Sing Along, and Star Tours. Then wrapping up the day with the Osborne Lights! It's sunny with a high today of 79!! If you bookmarked that photobucket album I uploaded close to 300 pictures last night from MVMCP. I still haven't given my report on that yet. But I've got lots to say!!

Loving your live report and all of the photos from the WL and MVMCP. The lights on the castle are just beautiful.
We stayed WL CL for the first time in October and absolutely loved it! We'll be staying there again very soon so I love seeing all of your photos of the WL especially the CL food. YUM!!!
Can't wait to read more and have an amazing trip!
