A Very Disney Christmas! Nov/Dec 2010 PTR (Trip Drama & 2 Days! 11/24)

[ladybugmom]

So happy you started a new thread, Becky! We won't be there the same time as you but I am soooo going back and forth between AKL and WL for our Oct trip!!

Thanks!! Glad you're here!! Ooh--let me know what you end up deciding!!

Hi Becky! I'm here!! I can't wait to find out what dates you choose. We received a 30% PIN for our stay at POR but would really love to get free dining. I'm hoping that Santa will bring us an early Christmas gift.

I can't wait to hear more!!

Trish

P.S. I'm so impressed with how many readers you have!! Way to go!!

Hi Trish!! Yes, free dining would be nice--if that deal was offered we'd probably stick with the standard room (11/27-12/4)! Aww--thanks! I have some pretty faithful readers from my other TRs/PTRs!!

Hi Becky! I am here. Congrats on getting all your ADRs, they can be a bit stressful. Le Cellier is always a tricky one. Can't wait to read more about what you have planned!!!!

YAY! Glad you're here!!

I'm here Becky! I can't believe you are 5 pages in already!

YAY Missy!! Glad you're here!!

Hi Becky

You're so lucky getting to go twice in one year. We have been going every four years but are planning to go back in summer of 2011. The kids are older now so between college, jobs, school sports, etc. it's hard to find the time. It is a dream of mine to see Disney at Christmas! DH works for a large packaging company and is not allowed to take any vacation time in Nov or Dec so I guess it will have to wait until he retires. Since that won't be for about 20 years, I guess we will be taking our grandchildren! Until then I will be getting my Disney Christmas fix through all these great PTRs and TRs. Your daughters are adorable. Gosh, I can remember when mine were that little like it was yesterday. What fun!! Looking forward to more.

Kelly

Hi Kelly!! And to my PTR!!! Thank you so much for your kind words!! I'm glad you're here!!

Hi Becky!! Glad to hear that you got back home safely and so happy that the weather was so wonderful for your trip!!! It was great finally meeting you and your family, and I am looking forward to catching up again during your Nov/Dec trip! I cannot wait for your TR and to hear more about the planning of the upcoming trip Will Ally and Claire have any Christmas customs?

YAY Jessica!! Glad you're here!! Yes, I'm so glad that we were finally able to meet up!! Yes, Ally and Claire will definitely have a few Christmas customs!! It's my favorite holiday and we're going to my favorite place!!

Hi Becky, can't wait to hear all about this trip

YAY!! Glad you're here!!

Oh my gosh, Becky -page 5 already??!! Glad you started a new PTR. I'm trying to finagle a Christmas trip this year too, but I don't know if I'll be able to so soon after our fall trip. If we do, it'll def. be a stay at the WL! If not, I'll just have to live vicariously through you!

Looks like page 6 now!! Glad you're here Rebecca!! Let me know if you decide to go and when!!!

Welcome Home Becky-I am sorry we did not get to meet up. We were in the same place many times but just not close enough. Can't wait to read ur TR.

 

[ladybugmom]

I'm here! I'm hoping that we'll get to visit during the holidays one year too, but in the meantime, I can live vicariously through you and the Dis!

YAY Ann!! So Glad you're here!!

Hi Becky - Welcome back!! Your ADR's look great. We had the Ohana breakfast on Thanksgiving day back in 2007. The food was pretty good. The atmosphere was cool too.
Can't wait to read your upcoming May TR.

I think I'm actually going to start my TR today. Better late than never.

Hi!! So glad you made it over!! Ooh--be sure to post a link when you start your TR!!

I will finally come out and say Hi!! I have been following you since your first PTR and your family is adorable! We are planning a trip for May 2011 when DS will be about 2 years 11 months and DD will be about 21 months, depending on when we go. I really enjoying getting an idea of what my kids will enjoy seeing and doing.

Hi and !!! Thank you for introducing yourself!! May is a great time to go to WDW!!

Good grief Becky! I was at the ballpark all day yesterday so I missed the start of your PTR and your already on page 6! Subbing and I'll be back to catch up on all of your plans soon

Hee hee! Glad you're here Michelle!!

Thank you Mary!! I am sorry we didn't get to meetup either! It was so hard to plan around our big group--I'm used to it just being the 4 of us!!

I'm joining in. I came over from Katie's report. The Wilderness Lodge at Christmas is breathtaking. You will really enjoy it. I like your ADR's so far. We did the Garden Grill CP package in 2008 and really enjoyed it. The food was very good and DS liked how it rotated.

I am heading to check out your May trip now.
