And here are pics with Santa. And I promise to stop.

Harrison loved Santa this year. You can tell he is really telling him what he wants and then listening to him telling him to be good.

Hi Lori,

It's been a long time.

I know. Been busy. Needed to take a break from the computer. How's OH?

They certainly are.
Are you finished with classes for the semester? How long do you have left?

Poor Mike

He is so abused. I'm either doing school work or bringing home stuff from work to do.

I'll be glad when school is over.

about 5 am perhaps??

6:30 I believe. I was grateful it was that late.

DS said if he got up anytime after 5:00 a.m. he was going to wake us. I told him 7:00. I then told him that if he wanted 5:00 a.m., then I get to wake him up at 5:00 a.m. in about 6-8 years from now. He agreed to let me sleep this year.

HI!
Here's my opinion since we've gone during various times in December many times. This year we were there from the 17th to the 24th. For the first few days it was great. The lines were average and it was enjoyable. THe last several days? Forget it! If you didn't get in early and have a strategy plus fast passes, by late lunch it was wall to wall no matter where you went. Lines piled quickly and fast passes were impossible to get. And this is coming from someone who followed most if not all of Tour Guide Mike and TouringPlan's advice.

Don't get me wrong, December is still our favorite time for WDW, but we won't cut it so close to Christmas next time. We'll back it up by about a half week or a week.

I have a question for the ones that were in WDW the last few weeks. How were the crowds and was it worth fighting the crowd. We are thinking about going next year between Christmas and New Year. The kids will not be able to go because it is peak season at UPS and they can not get off so I guess it will just be me and Tommy. I feel so bad leaving the precious children for that long.

Hi Jeff. That is funny. Sounds like a good deal to me. Now, how do I get a 3 yr. old to understand that?

 

[CRSNDSNY]

WOWSA! Glad you're ok!!!

I'm fine. It was a slow impact in the wrong spots with very large vehicles. Cars these days are costly just to have a bumper fixed if it cracks.

I did just call the body shop and they are under $6,000 with about 99% of the estimate done. Even if the insurance company takes the low valuation that Kelly Blue Book has ($1,500 less than Edmunds and NADA), it will still not pass the 70% level of beeing totaled.

For some odd reason I don't think Mike is ever abused.

You need to wait about 6 more years for that. Maybe tell him if he gets up to wake his older sister. Once he has the wrath of her, he will stay in bed.

Windy as He** here. We actually saw the sun today.

They certainly are.

I actually was told I only had 3 more classes to go, but I got a phone call from Ashford University saying I am still shy 8 credit hours. That just took the wind out of my sails.

I haven't called them back yet... I'm trying to cool down. I was suppose to graduate April 9th.

It may be june now.

This is the truth. Trust me, it wasn't Alex wanting to get up early this year. That girl could sleep all day.

The parade was filmed the 5th adn 6th of December this year. They did have those swags up you were talking about but I"m sure it complicated things with the filming so temporarily took them down. Main Street was beautifully decorated.

Kathy - You've been to the World so many times, maybe you know the answer to this. It appeared from the filming of the parade that MK is not fully decorated at that time. Do you know if this is true? I mean they did not have the swags across Main Street because some of the parade things were too tall and it looked as though it was possible - from the positioning of the hosts - they did not have the big tree up.
