I love all your Main Street photos!
I don't know what it is, but I find this parade super hard to photograph well!
Love the PP pictures with the snow falling down! The one of you and DH is adorable!
Main Street just looked so beautiful with the snow falling
I was sad the parade pictures didn't come out that well. Maybe if someone were taking pictures from the flagpole area it might be better?? The lights they shine onto the floats were just causing all kinds of problems for me!
The snowy pp pictures ended up being some of my favorites!
I love the photopass pics of the whole family after the parade. All the snoap falling and the tree in the background really makes it perfect.
We enjoyed Caseys so much that we went twice. I got the BBQ slaw dog the first time and it was very good but I liked the chili cheese dog better. DH is already planning on hitting up Caseys on our next trip.
Sounds like you guys were able to make the most out of your party night even if it didn't go as you originally planned.
I could not get enough of the snow or the tree!! It made everything seem so magical!
Casey's is a favorite! I don't know if they just pump those hotdogs so full of salt or what, but they're delicious, LOL!! X never gives me a bit of his chili cheese dog
I have dipped a fry in quickly before, and it is good...I'm just super fixated on the bbq ones.
We did have a good party night, even without the character meets. We got to do the main party stuff, and we had fun, so I was happy with it!
You guys had a good location for the parade! That was my favorite part of MVMCP and my favorite part of the parade was the soldiers marching
I like the mistletoe picture, Steve and I got one of those, too
Our weather has been similar to yours and it's driving me crazy! Snow over the weekend but not much; Mon. and Tues. it didn't go above 19 degrees during the day, last night all after school activities were cancelled because we were supposed to get sleet/freezing rain-hardly got any. Today it was 53 and tomorrow is supposed to be 60!! I love the snow, the boys love snow days, and on top of that these drastic changes in temp from day to day make everyone sick
I was really happy with the parade spot! It did clear out after Wishes, even though it was still more crowded that I thought it would be. Party crowds are my kind of crowds, though! If only every day was as crowded as a party night!
The mistletoe picture is cute! It will make another appearance or two in the report...every photographer wanted to do that one, I think!
Ugh, I'm sorry you're dealing with the yoyo weather too! It's such a pain. It makes me lazy. Yesterday was almost 70, and the wind was over 40mph. My lawn furniture was blown all over the yard, even the heavy stuff, and it was trash day so I had to go chase the trash and recycling cans down our street. Today we're back in the 30s...You're right, we're all going to be sick! I like to pretend my EmergenC stuff helps, but I don't know if it really does or not.
We missed out on all the snow...my kids really want a snow day, but I told them not to get their hopes up! I hope the ice that's supposed to come here stays north of us.
This totally made me laugh because we stayed at BWI in November and my husband needed medical attention and the front desk lady gave him two brochures for urgent care (both of which were closed because it was after 10 p.m.) and half-heartedly said, "I could call an ambulance? Do you need an ambulance?" And it was serious, but husband and she were not communicating well, so my husband took three steps away from the desk and called 911 himself!
I'm enjoying your report! We also did Jingle Bell, Jingle Bam and MVMCP--I loved them both. I thought the Disney Christmas decorations were amazing!
Oh, I'm so sorry your husband had to get an ambulance on your November trip!! I hope everything worked out ok!
I wonder if they're required to ask about the ambulance or something? Or maybe we just got the same lady!
I'm glad you're enjoying it! It's fun for me to relive it...it's weird how something still so recent seems like it was a lifetime ago.
The decorations were so pretty! I've seen pictures for years, but to see everything lit up and decorated in person was one of my favorite Disney experiences.
My phone and the lighting didn't make friends either.
It is cute!
That was the one good thing about the electric parade and paint the night in
Disneyland...the floats being illuminated made a big difference in pictures.
And thank you! I thought the mistletoe was fun!
Ok, I'm way behind, but a few comments while I catch up:
The lobby of AKL! Oh my goodness beauteous! So glad you all enjoyed it, especially with the gorgeous Christmas tree! Already looking forward to hearing about your May AKL trip.
We found the walk to Kidani long-ish too. It was fine on a mild day when we were in no rush (solid 10+ mins), but when we attempted it on a warmer day when I was low on sleep I did NOT enjoy it.
I'm quickly falling in love with your boys. I totally would have been that kid at his age and done what L did!
Ok, I got myself caught up over lunch! So sad to hear that X was so sick, but great you got to the doctor and they make it so convenient. Hope he starts feeling better soon. I've been sick in WDW a couple of times, the worst one being the Christmas I started having symptoms of my brain condition, and I spent half the vacation like a sad little bump on a log. Not fun for X! Your party seemed like a lot of fun though. I feel you on the character meet issue. I'd wanted more character time at our party too, but the lines were long and I didn't want to waste the boyfriend's time at his first party. Maybe next time!
I'm behind on the ones I'm reading, too! I need to go catch up on everything.
AKL was sooo pretty! I'm so excited to stay there (even without the tree
). I will definitely write about it! The trip report might be good therapy, depending on how my MIL is during the trip, LOL.
Haha! L was really sad about not getting his own ticket. They're good boys, and I hope that continues as they get older. X gets into the angsty teen thing a little bit, but not as much as he could. I'm grateful for that! We have a lot of fun.
Oh, I'm sorry you know what it's like to be sick at WDW! I'm sure it's hard to manage your condition while on vacation. I'm glad your most recent trip didn't end up like that!!
I wish the character lines weren't so long...that part about the party really frustrated me. I felt the same way about wasting time. If I'm not eating, I don't want to spend an hour (or more!) just standing around accomplishing nothing.
