Oh, your plans sound like so much fun!!! I hope you have a great time!

And I hope November comes soon! (Both because you're going to WDW in November and because my birthday is in November!)
 
I have never been during Christmas..But I am looking forward to seeing everything decorated...I have a few DIS friends that have been there during Christmas and say it it the best time to go.:thumbsup2
 
Count me in :thumbsup2

I am headed there Dec 6-11, and this is my second trip during December - but the first time I went as a Nanny so it wasn't really my vacation. I am looking forward to getting back there and taking my (soon to be) 2 year old daughter!

You will love, love, love, Disney in December. I am sure you have already been told, but DO NOT miss Obsourne Lights at DHS!

"STAYCATIONS SUCK!!! When you're a local stuck on Cape Cod with a bunch of tourists that can't drive! You can't eat at any of your favorite local hot spots cause they're flogged with tourists! You can't enjoy a dip in the b...risk Atlantic cause the parking lots are full OF TOURISTS! Sometimes, vacation hot spots, aren't so great! Please - help me take a vacation away from this vacation hot spot!!! And tell me again, what is the allure of Cape Cod?"
 
WOW!!! Lucky girl!! I never win ANYTHING! :sad2:

Good for you though!!

I look foward to hearing more! popcorn::
