Aulani & DL to meet Santa Update 06Jul12 Page 10 Christmas at Disney

It is exciting just looking at your itinerary! Are you going to visit the Dole plantation in Hawaii? Get some Dole whip? It's good to see you have a day set aside for shopping, but shopping and relaxing on the same day? :rotfl:

Hope you have an amazing trip!

There will be more than one shopping day, more like a morning of shopping an afternoon of the beach, or a morning at the beach and an afternoon of shopping.

Ala Moana is open to 10pm every night we are there so that should work out fine.

Don't hate me but I hate pineapple, I suppose I should offer it as an option to the traveling crew. It is really so about me...:lmao:
 
Sounds like a great holiday and a fabulous Christmas. Enjoy! I look forward to your TR posts and pics when you return.

If I don't catch you, have a great trip.

Thanks PIO. You have been wonderful in sharing the countdown with me, and with suggestions for what to do. It has been wonderful to have someone else to toss ideas around in that doesn't just nod their head. So thanks.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas, I will continue to enjoy the planning of your Hong Kong trip with you on my return when I will need a fix to keep me going along.

The holiday sounds really relaxing actually. I think you will enjoy every single minute and your excitement is definitely bubbling through.

I'm excited for you!
 
2 days to go. Had my hair done and we might just get around to packing tonight. I can even see the light at the end of the tunnel on the work list.

As I see it I might just make this plane.
 
Thought I would share some Christmas cheer on the Oz side. Any countdown is good.


It will become. Trip report. Have loved your adventure so far. My girls would love to do Harry Potter world. I might see if we can go to Sydney for the HP exhibition there. Will see ow the Warner Bros tour in LA goes. I am going to sit on the Friends couch:laughing:


I shall review Aulani with pleasure. I tossed and turned on this one but I could not be so close and not check it out. It is like a duty:lmao:

omg, you get to sit on the friends couch? jealous!!! wwohp was fab, and we're going back in nov during our dlr/wdw trip. i told carlo i didn't care where we went, but we needed more butterbeer. a, it's yummy and b, i don't know what i did before it was invented but c, i neeeeed it. it is quite lovely and unique and the fact that it's non-alcoholic but makes me feel all warm & squishy -- bliss!

We did Europe earlier this year. There is a trip report somewhere here on the oz boards. Lots of pictures.

WWOHP is on our list of places along with NY.
 
TOMORROW TOMORROW I LOVE YA TOMORROW


Went to the office early and cleared the desk. Just a couple of emails to chase back and forward from home, but nothing that can't be dealt with here.

My business: need to finish off something for a client

THEN

pack (still a pile of clothes on cases, starting to think just take clean undies), clean the house, wash (3rd day of rain in a row), think about dinner, find a book for DD2 to read on the plane, add credit to T Mobile SIM, get cat food, clean out the car before DH decides to pack it;), and decide whether to get an underwater camera.

Plenty of time. The children are singing and willingly cleaning their end of the house after a warning from DH while I was at the office. He is too funny.

:surfweb: Next step finish work. Maybe I can get it done and then watch Ellen while thinking really hard about the packing....
 
Have a wonderful trip!! You fly home just before we leave so I will have my eye on the boards to see how your trip was and to help pass the time 'til I can say TOMORROW!!!

Be safe and have a Very Merry Mickey Christmas :mickeyjum:santa:
 
Wishing you a very Magical Disney Christmas :santa:
Hope you all have a wonderful time and enjoy every moment of it :yay::yay::yay:
 
Thanks everyone.

We shall have a very merry time indeed.

All things bar the packing are done.

Will do that in the morning nice and fresh.

Have activated our T Mobile SIM and they are both working here with international roaming. I have the new IPhone 4 and have unlocked it through Telstra with no problems.

Will see what happens when we get off the plane.

This is so unlike us before a trip...
 
I am up, having coffee.

Just the packing to go. We will head off in 5 hours, plenty of time.

An the sun is coming out....
 
Good luck, have a wonderful time. Don't forget the food porn, you know how we love it :rotfl2:


Thanks, onto the next coffee but PACKING IS COMPLETE:cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1:

Two cases CHECK!
Two empty cases containing the two packed cases CHECK!

House vacuumed. Children fed and dressed.

Finish the coffee, have a shower myself and then I can add the hair straightener to the bag and we are done and dusted.

Adding Christmas music to the IPOD, new Michael Buble and a bit of Disney.


I will get as much food porn as I can, think of it as my Christmas gift. I just have to stop DH :rolleyes: every time it happens.

He He He
 
We have arrived safe and sound. Lots of turbulence between Sydney and Honolulu which DD1 thought was great, just like a rollercoaster. Service was the best I have had on Qantas for a while. Our bags didn't make the Sydney flight but were delivered to us at the hotel just as our room became ready at 1.30pm.

Had a beautiful lunch on the beach as we arrived but more on that later...

Off to swim with the dolphins. Will upload photos and check in proper tonight.
