I can never get my O to look right when I try making it. We are down in Disney the 11-16 of Dec.
Hi there lovegrumpy! Ha ha! I think they've had a lot of practice with that O. That is their thing on the ride photos.
Please say hi if you see us!
So exciting that your trip is so close!! And it's your first time going during the holiday season. I love love love the Dreamlights and all that pizzazz!
Um, can I come along for the Epcot bar crawl? I'm telling you, I would totally fly down for like a day if I could.
I'm also loving your super fancy Top Thread banner.
Yes, we're super excited to see all the lights and decorations for the Holidays! And that's not even mentioning the parades and parties.
That would be so awesome to have you be a drunk li'l cucumber with us! Indeed! We start around noon so get crackin' on getting your plane ticket Dani!!
Finally caught up as well. I'll also be in WDW the first week of December so don't be surprised if a stranger says hi, although with all your great trip reports and pictures I'm guessing that already happens (DIS celebrity), I'm also hoping to get a chance to meet Rob since we have a couple overlapping FP+'s.
I loved your DL intermission pics, I went for the first time last month and every time I see pictures now I just want to go back (already booked for Jan 15th
) and take more time to just look around at the details rather than running from ride to ride.
Can't wait for more...
Oh my gosh!! You'll be there too - awesome! We have some overlapping FP+ with Rob as well so we may be at the same places at the same time. Please, please, please say hi if you see us!
(Feel free to PM me as well if you want to compare plans.)
I'm glad you liked DL - at least well enough to return so soon. Early Jan is a great time to go with the light crowds.
You are living the life Brenda! I've read through your last report and this one over the last week or so and thoroughly enjoyed them both (thanks to Rob's shout outs on his TR). You and Emily are adorable and I think it's great that you're able to make these special memories.
Looking forward to more!!
Hi Pimama! Thank you for reading this one and the last one! We have just been very lucky and blessed. Seriously, I'm so glad that you are here.
Thanks for joining!
Thank you. I'm grateful that we are able to make these memories together. We'll be able to reminisce for years to come.
Sounds like you have some lovely plans!! I wish I could see you guys down there but our bank account would die a little. Whomp whomp.
Love the space mountain shots! Adorable, as always. Christmas time in DL looks so magical!! You are going to love it in wdw. The happiest place on Earth just got happier!
Thanks Jennifer! I completely understand. I do rather think I want to retire some day so I have to pace myself with the Disney trips.
Ahhhh I can't wait. That holiday tag line sounds very familiar. It reminded me that I saw a new Holiday sign when exiting the parking structure at DL the other day:
Part of me kicks myself for not booking Dec this year.... Your plans are making me realize how much I will miss it this year!! I think Disney in December is my absolute favorite. Luckily we will be there in Jan and back in December 2014.
I loved the picture of Em on Space Mountain- she's such a natural beauty! I also like the pictures of her with your friends grand daughter - so sweet.
Also enjoying all the DL pics! One day when we get out there I'm going to put them all together as a google map of sorts (with the street view!) to help navigate our visit.
Hi Sarah! Sounds like you've been there during the Holidays before. At least you'll be there next year. (Will they still have the holiday overlay when you are there in Jan?) I'm looking forward to experiencing it all myself.
Thanks! I think Em's a cutie too. She loves babies and they seem to love her.
Ha ha! Google Disney! Sounds great.
I have a feeling what you think about the MB's is the same as what I think. And I know what you mean about the luggage tags; I had to call Disney and tell them we needed a couple more.
Ohhhh, and lest I forget.
Congrats on being the thread of the month; It is well deserved.
Argh! So many issues and we haven't even received our MBs yet.
I hope it all goes well for you.
Silly Disney. If there are females traveling they should automatically send more than one. It will save them mailing costs in the end you know!
Thank you so much Bob!
Hi!! I always read along, I just haven't posted. If you see us please say Hi and we will do the same.
I really enjoy your dining reviews.
We loved seeing the Suite it is amazing. Bill joked with the Cast Member that his wheelchair quit and we would have to spend the night. She got a good chuckle out of it.
Thank you very much! We'll say hi if we see you guys. (I'm refreshing my old decrepit memory by going back to one of your TRs!)
That was hilarious! Too bad, we have to spend the night in the suite!!
Oh I wouldn't read into that TR too much it will remain on the unfinished report list. I will e doing our aug TR from 2013. I just have to find some time to start it!
Be sure and let me know when you start your TR.
I would love to follow along.
I'm really enjoying your TR! The title caught my eye as I'm reading to prepare and pass time before our next trip! And I just realized our trips overlap! We will be there 12/4-12/11!
I love hearing stories of mother and daughter enjoying Disney together! This is my daughters second trip and her first where she will really understand and interact. You've made me excited about many many years of trips and fun ahead together!
Hi Sar (Sarah?) I'm so glad that you are here and joining! Welcome!
We will be there at the same time!! Have you been during the holidays? I'm definitely looking forward to that extra festive spirit of the season.
I'm sure in the years to come you will be building some great memories with your daughter. This is a great start while she is still young.
THREAD OF THE MONTH!!!
I honestly can't think of someone more deserving. I even watched the podcast.
Loooove all the pictures of DL, it's so pretty when all the Christmas décor comes out, for some reason WDW overwhelms me when it comes to the holidays, but not DL. We usually went to DL the Monday or tues right after Thanksgiving, it's my old stomping grounds and I loved it when it came to the décor that time of the year. Well, I loved everything about it, but especially the décor for that time of the year.
Em is adorable with the baby.
Thanks Camille! You are very sweet!
There's definitely more to stun and amaze at WDW but DL does a beautiful job during the holidays. Does Cinderella's castle have snow like at DL? I know they both have the lights.
Ah yes, I remember that you lived in OC.
I love how Em loves on babies.
Thanks again!
Looks like you have some amazing plans for your upcoming Dec trip. So looking forward to hearing about all your dismeets. Of course we will have to see who gets started on their TR's first.
Looking forward to your next update.
I'm probably not going to win any awards for first TR! I haven't decided how I'll do that but I will be doing a joint DR so that will unfold as a group.
Thanks!
Erin, Please let me know when you start the new TR please.
Brenda so excited for your thread of the month honor.
YEA for your December trip and awesome plans!
Thank you Judy! We're pretty excited. This is a first for us. Definitely feeling blessed to do this during my favorite time of the year.
I got behind AGAIN, but there's no way I'll let it happen again. Loving your TR as usual!

Hi Marissa! No worries. I'm just glad that you are hanging in there with this one!
Your December trip plans sound amazing! We've never been at Christmas and are looking forward to it, hopefully in 2014. The DIS meets sound great as usual. I love the pictures from DL!
Thanks Melissa! It will be pretty exciting to see the parks during this holiday season.
I'm glad you liked them.
Yes I did watch the 20th anniversary episodes! They were so fun to watch, as I never watched Conan until he got on TBS, so it was fun to see him back in the day. I especially love the episodes where Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was in them.
Just in case you didn't see it on my TR, CONGRATULATIONS on your Thread of the Month badge! That is so great! I bet you were shocked and then so happy when you saw that!
Your plans look great for December! That will be so fun. And thanks for sharing your pictures at
Disneyland.
Ha! That was awesome!! Conan is my favorite late night guy.
Oh, thank you! I couldn't figure out why someone else' signature was on my thread at first. It was very surreal.
I know you've had some DL trips so you are very familiar with how wonderful it is there.
I'm disappointed about missing you, too. We fly out on the day you arrive. I blame the 2013 bounce back offer for this fiasco! Why did they have to make the discount period so short.
I was thinking about bringing a second suitcase so I have room to pack the stuff I want to buy for Christmas presents. Do you just call for extra luggage tags?
Our MB's arrived last Friday. We had fun giving them a little customization of our own. We trimmed the bands and are reshaping them with rubber bands so that they fit the shape of our wrists better.
I noticed that you are staying one one resort for the majority of your trip. BWV should be really nice.
I completely forgot about the bounce back offers when we were there in August. I'd already booked December but still....
Exactly. Just call Disney and they will transfer you to the ME dept who will mail you additional tags.
How exciting that you received them already. I'm waiting... You are clever to re-engineer yours.
We were only going to be at BWV but then we added on the 2 nites at BLT. We stayed BWV last summer for 4 nites so this will be a return visit to that lovely resort. I'm looking forward to seeing their Christmas decorations there.
Enjoy your trip!
Hi Brenda,
You are still in the top ten threads!! Number 4 in October!!
Neal
Thanks for letting me know! You are definitely my Podcast bearer of good news. I expect to hear from you again next month!!
Catching up on both your threads & loving it!!!!
Thank you! I'm glad you are caught up. It's too late for me to update again tonight so lucky you, you'll stay caught up!
