3 Weeks!! Dance with me!!

[mbb]

So very excited

I know we're supposed to share dances on another board - but I also need your help

Am I forgetting anything?

Dec18-24 We're POPpin!!
MVMCP on the 21st - still have to book ADR's for that evening somewhere at MK..any suggestions?
CP on the 23rd..ADR at the Biergarten
Have various ADR's throughout that week...so I think we're okay for meals while onsite

Dec24-Jan6 We're heading to Paradise with Pongo!!
Planning on:
Orlando Science Center
WonderWorks
Would like to do: The Lion King Musical...but we'll see how the $$$ holds out!LOL!

NYE at MGM ...ADR;s at Hollywood and Vine

Budget Minivan rental :$900 for the 3 weeks. Rate hasn't budged for the last 3 months, so I think that's as low as it's going.

Flying out of Portland, ME on JetBlue.

T-shirts are still in the design phase, but I think I've got the general layout of what I wanted to do.

What else am I missing??
thanks for letting me think/type out loud!

Just too much else to do before Christmas

Park tickets?

Any plans to hit Universal or Sea World? Water parks?

Pre-order groceries / etc for your villa rental?

We always like the Crystal Palace for dinner at MK...or Cinderella's Royal Table...but it depends on if you want character dining and what age your kids are and all I would think.

What are your Xmas plans? A suggestion might be to UPS down things like Xmas presents or the like in advance to the villa so you don't have to cart it all down with you. Oh..by the way...there's a UPS shipping store right next to the Giordano's on US-192 in case you want to do the same for getting stuff back home!

Call now and order the keg for the big party at Karen's place! (HAHA...just KIDDING Karen!! )

(Seriously though...let me know what time so I can invite everyone!)

There will be some party surprises in the house when they arrive! I have all sorts of fun plans for them!
We are heading down Wednesday to get the tree up and decorated and to do some shopping and fun stuff as well!
I hope you like pina coladas! The smoothie maker needs to have some fun!

MBB if you need to ship anything let me know!

I would love to plan a trip where a bunch of us from here can all get together and meet! Wouldn't that be fun!

 

[5mins2disney]

We should have a DIS lime green drinks happy hour! hehe

I'll be down 1/19-1/23 ...and 4/14-4/21.. you?

 

[FLParadisevilla]

I have not planned that far in advance! I have to wait for my Hubby's schedule to come out in Jan to know when we can plan our next trip!
I will definately keep your dates in mind! I would love to meet up!!

Don't know about ADRs for the MVMCP. I always like columbia Harbor House for the chicken salad. DH likes eating over at Pecos Bills -- I don't like to spend too much time in a table service restaurant during a party. HTH

 

[horseshowmom]

I'll sure dance with you!

Three weeks from right now, I should be getting very close to CPGV (if we break down and leave Friday afternoon, I'll already be there! ).

Have you considered trying Priceline for the van? I've never used them for that (and I don't know about that length of time), but it might be worth considering.

Have a great trip! It sounds like a nice long one. We'll be leaving the 23rd, but it's just as well, my DH would NOT enjoy the Christmas crowds!

 

[isla bonita]

Sounds like a great time planned.

I have to say we enjoyed picking our own fruit and then making super great smoothies for the kids and margaritas for us. Nothing is better then fresh. I plan on taking some home with me.

We spend so much time by the pool it is my kids favorite place to be. Make sure you take the time to have just family fun. I like to bring down fun things for the kids. Last year they had those light up ice cubes. They ended up in the pool and the kids loved them. I purchase umbrellas for drinks and straws just little fun things we do not have every day. Seeing you will be down for some time I bet you could get some cute ideas for some fun stuff.

Have a wonderful time and let us know how all things go.

Tickets...we have PAP's - this is our "free" trip on them

How many times has DH rolled his eyes and laughed at me when I've said:
"Well, we could do *this* with the money we're saving on tickets.."



...but oh, how they burn a hole in your pocket! "Let's go to WDW - we have tickets!!"

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend Ours is in October here in Canada, but watching the Macy's Parade always puts us in a holiday mood

Sounds like George, Karen and Deb might have a fun Dis meet this winter!!

How exciting, it's getting here really fast!!! We always like the Liberty Tree in MK. Now for MNSSHP they get into the fesitive mood w/ the characters and servers "dressing up" for Halloween. I thought for MVMCP they too got into holiday garb???
