All I Want for Christmas is...A WDW Vacation!! UPDATE pg 35 - Leaving today!!

[DWGal210]

Wow! That may be the most snow I have seen in a really long time!

Yeah, it was a lot, even for us. They said on the news it's the most snow we've had in about 15 years, and around here, that's saying a lot!

12 days and counting!! Woo Hoo!

So yesterday, I had the best of intentions to do more trip prep....but I woke up with the worst migraine and basically slept in my dark house all day long. It was awful!! I only get them every so often; it's a side effect of a medicine I was on (that's still working its way out of my body) and they come every so often. I just hope I don't get any on vacation!

So now I need some input; if you'll remember, I am making little gift bags/presents for my cousins and sister. I have all the stuff bought and sorted out; but now I don't know the best way to give them their items. My thoughts are (tell me which one you like the best):

Option #1: Go to their house on the 22nd or 23rd, while their mom is packing, and give them their gifts. Let them know they can put them in their carry-on so they can have some items for the plane.

Option #2: When I go to their house the morning of departure day, put the kid's gifts in their car so it's a surprise when they get in the car to go to the airport.

Option #3: Mail them to AKL Kidani and then have them there when we arrive.

So what do you think?! My gut says to do Option #2, so they can use the stuff on the plane ride.

Thoughts?

This one gets my vote.

I'm going with Option #2 as well. If they get them early they may forget them or take them apart and leave some things at home. If you mail them to Kidani they might get to wrapped up in all the other things going on to fully appreciate them.

Yup - #2 gets my vote. What a great departure surprise!

Number 2 -- it will help add just a little bit more excitement and magic to their journey to see the Mouse.

Well, so far, Option #2 is fully unanimous! So I think that's what I'll do; I'll sneak those bags in their car and when they get in to go down the road, they'll have their goodies.

Thanks for the input, everyone!

I may be too late, but option #2 for me!! As a mother, it would be SO nice to have a fun gift for the kids to go through during the travel time. HTH

I agree, option 2 looks like a great idea!

Just found this ptr and am loving it! Read the first and last 12 pages and scanned everything in between.

We will also be at WDW during this time. We'll be driving down----only a short(???) 12 hr. drive. Leaving home on Monday, 28th and heading home on Jan. 1. This trip primarily is to celebrate my DD's sweet 16th birthday.

I'll be looking for updates until time to leave!

Welcome!!! Thanks for coming on board!

I am planning on more updates....I just have to decide on what to write. Perhaps I'll post pictures of the ever-growing pile that somehow I have to squeeze into 1 suitcase.....

Have a great day!!

I meant that I have seen in pictures -- I definitely have never seen that much in real life.

So you know how I was debating on my TR title.....I think I have come upon it, and wanted to get your votes....


How about - - "Totally Tinsel! Our amazing Christmas vacation!"

What do you all think?

 

[MeMom]

Glad I checked in to get in on the single digit dancing!

I think the trip report title sounds great.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Since I loved Prep and Landing, I think your TR title sounds great!!!

It was cute, wasn't it? Brooklynn calls it Preppa Landing.

Disneyshopping has Preppa Landing ornaments for $5.99. I thought about getting one for Jill's tree and one for mine, but I haven't yet. I'm trying not to spend any unnecessary money before trip time.
