Well, the Christmas pictures are really nice. But the experience sounds horrifying! Sorry it was such a mess.
Oh man! Just reading about those crowds makes me all anxious! Yep, you've confirmed what I've always suspected.....there is NO WAY I could do WDW around NYE. And I so felt for your DW....being sick & pregnant in those massive crowds....poor thing! I hope the night ends on a good note for y'all!
Oh my gosh! Those crowds sound just terrible. Your poor wife! I am upset for her!
Those crowds sound terrible!
Sorry I've been away for a bit.
DD's expression on the barnstormer is PRICELESS!! So great! When she becomes a coaster fanatic like yourself, you can show her those pictures of, "remember when."
Oh, my goodness. Those crowds do not look or sound good. Poor DW, I was in her shoes in 2009 when we went during Thanksgiving and I was pregnant and sick. I didn't have to fight those unbelievable crowds, though. I hope that you make it out of there unscathed.

Oh boy... I am only at the beginning and I have to go to work BUT I laughed out loud so much. That was very brave to get in the car ot the hotel. My husband and I wouldve been sure that the driver was going to rob us then ditch us in the snow too!
Further I cant believe that you got to the long term parking AND got your car. Awesome!
That snow was so ridiculous. Isnt it funny how all the snow blew off the top of the car at the lot?
Cant wait to read more
I'm so glad y'all were able to make it to Fantasyland! And you got a seat! I think that was a very good idea. When we did MVMCP last year, that's where we went to watch the fireworks....so much less crowded. Now, I'm interested to hear if y'all made it to midnight and, if so, if it was worth it.
I really liked your part about trip reports. I used to not understand the whole trip report thing either. But, I really got into them on here. And I really enjoyed writing my first one. I think it's a good experience.
I like trip reports because I learn alot about things in the parks that we always miss...
Great update! I originally started reading TRs to pick up some tips for doing WDW with a little one (we'd only been as kids or as childless adults). But, now I really enjoy reading about how others enjoy disney, and I did my TR because it was so wonderful, that I wanted to share that too.
Keep up the good work!
Fantastic job so far! I've been away for a while too, but I caught up here! I feel bad for all of you at that point with regards to the crowds. In my opinion, the one place Disney needs to improve on is crowd control, both here in Disney World and out in Disneyland. Or maybe it's just a part of the whole Disney experience.
Does anybody know the MKs crowd capacity?
Always thought we wanted to go at Thanksgiving and Christmas time but now I am not so sure!!!!
I can't believe it's been practically 2 months since I've updated this TR!!
It's not like I fell off the face of the Earth. I've been active on the boards, but it just seems like every time I tried to focus on the TR, something or other got in the way. More often than not, I've just been too tired to concentrate. Being a SAHD has been SO much harder than I imagined. I thought I would have had a lot more time for things, but it hasn't worked out that way.
Throw in my ear surgery and troubles on the job front over the last two months and the TR just fell through the cracks.
I've probably lost many of those who took the time to read this, but if anyone is still following, I am going to get this updated!! Thanks!!
No worries! I think all of us here know that, unfortunately, life can sometimes get in the way of the DIS.
I'm a SAHM, so I know just how hard it can be....and I only have one! Hope your ear surgery went well. And, again, I understand the whole job troubles thing. The company my DH worked for shut down at the end of October. He had a 5 week notice to get another job. But, fortunately, it has all worked out for the best! And I hope things have worked out well for you & your DW as well.
still here!
