And, @Mal6586 how do you insert a picture into your post? I've been trying and can't seem to get it quite right! Your post of your shirts looked great and I can't figure out how to do it myself.

OH EM GEE! Our party shirts came in today!!! They turned out so good!!! This is the hoard that will be with roomie and I at the party!

And here's just mine. They have 3/4 sleeves, which I love!

The only bad news is that our names are low enough that our cute 1950s skirt idea isn't going to work, since we'd be tucking them in for that. Leaning now toward either black shorts and the elf-y striped tights or doing solid pants, since roomie already has red ones. That'll just give me a reason to come up with some sort of fabulously festive headpiece instead.

Super cute! Did you get them from Etsy?

I got my latest Disney Store order today-- holiday Disney pajamas for kids (wish I'd ordered some for me!), Anna costume boots for my DD's Halloween costume, and a little something for me. I'm in love with my new sweater for chilly (maybe or maybe not) Florida December weather. It's even prettier in person!

It's so beautiful @BDFmom and soft and fits perfectly! Sometimes sizing is off with Disney Store stuff but I ordered a medium and it was spot on! I could dress it up or down

I was doing it from my phone, so I hit the upload file button, then after it uploaded, it gave me the option of a thumbnail or to insert the full picture.

We did!

Why oh why did you have to mention a bacon overdose! I have no breakfast reservations for myself, but I have 2 possible mornings when I could fit one in, and now I'm thinking a bacon overdose at a buffet sounds like an amazing idea. Off to the reservations site I go!

And actually, if anyone has any breakfast buffet recommendations that are not in the parks, please feel free to share them! One possible morning, Thurs 12/8, is when I'll be hopping from Saratoga Springs to OKW and then doing the monorail tour to see the resort decorations, before MVMCP that evening. The other possible morning, Sun 12/11, is my last day, since my flight isn't until 3:30pm. I will be staying at OKW at that point.

EDIT: Aaand, I answered my own question! Lol. Just booked Boma @9am for my departure day. I love that restaurant, but have only had dinner there, never breakfast. AKL is my all time fave resort, so I'll have breakfast, wander around the resort a little bit, and then head back to OKW to catch DME @12:30ish. Plus, this means one more resort to check out the Christmas decor! Woot!



That's my Epcot day too, lol. SE @10am, Soarin @11am, M:S @12:10pm. CP Dining Package reservation at Teppan Edo at 5pm for the 8:15pm CP show.


Also, Disney addict alert: today I let my cell phone keep ringing twice, when I knew it was telemarketer calls, so I could listen to the Soarin' theme song that is my ringtone

TOTALLY agree with Boma. doing it on my last day too. Best breakfast buffet on property. yum!

Okay, that's hilarious...DH was looking at Christmas shirts last night and asked if we could consider that same design you got LOL

lol "best day ever" reminds me of the "stupid cat" video. If you don't mind bad language (so if you're offended just ignore this) google "i'm a stupid cat video". seriously makes me crack up whenever I see it. If you are a cat person it is especially good.

Oh girl...I swear like a sailor! LOL I will definitely check it out!!

Omg just watched the video

@PlutosUnDr8d totally agree about that official card notebook.... looks HUGE. I got a trading card book for about $9 on amazon.

I didn't think to look on Amazon for that--I may see what they have! I think the "portfolio" SOTMK notebook is great for locals who come just to play the game. I have met a few teens during our visits who do just that--can you imagine?? It's like the equivalent of my mom dropping me off at the mall to waste a few hours on a Saturday afternoon. Grew up in Florida, but still too far away from WDW to be able to do THAT! ; )

I LOVE that! It looks like something you would find at Disneyland Paris! OUI OUI, Monsieur Mickey!

I believe Mal6586 already answered regarding the phone, but it's also really easy on the computer. There are 2 options:

1) For pictures you have stored on your computer OR internet-based pictures (like Google Image Search results, or photos you have stored online on a site like Shutterfly or Photobucket) - Right click on the image you want to post and select 'Copy'. Then, in the box where you type your post for the thread right click and select 'Paste'.

2) For internet-based pictures ONLY - Right click on the image you want to post and select 'Copy Image Address' and then click the icon, right click, and select 'Paste'.

Question of the day:
now that we are all mostly booked, what are the 3 things (in no particular order) you are most looking forward to in your trip? Can be anything, a ride, a restaurant, resort, event, whatever is making you most excited about your trip. Love to hear what other people are looking forward to. I will post my own later

Club Villain dates are now open and can be booked for November and December!

I love this question I'm still working on posting my itinerary (I will get to it soon @Candycane83 !! ) I just haven't narrowed it down to the right fp yet....

This is tough But I think the 3 things I a most looking forward to are: (and I KNOW these sound corny..)

1) I am excited about the MVMCP. I think the girls will love the cookies and cocoa, and they just like being anywhere at night. They will love the fireworks.
2) My 4 year old has loved Pooh since she was a baby. I cannot wait to surprise her with meeting him at our CP breakfast. I think the family will also feel a bit extra special getting into the parks early with any PPO or EMM.
3) My parents seeing all of the changes since we've grown up there 20 years or so ago; and them enjoying seeing the kids love it like I did; and hopefully finally proving to them that I really DID have to work my butt off to get some awesome events/adrs/experiences/ flow of events, etc lol for our family!!

Is that technically more than 3? There is a great possibility that these will change if I spend more time thinking about them
