Christmas and New Years, A Disney Bride's Family of 4! My PTR 12/26-01/03, POR...

Cute baby clothes! I always think the girl baby clothes are so much cuter than the boy ones. Last time we were at Disney World in December, we spent two days in shorts and t-shirts and two days in heavy coats and hats and gloves. I would prepare for warm or cold weather.

Your kids are precious!

We've spent a couple of Christmas/New Years in Disney with the most recent being last year. On both trips the weather ranged from perfect (sunny and warm, but not HOT) to very cold (layers, hats, gloves, and still shivering). Last year there were days that the weather dropped into the 30's overnight and didn't warm up much during the day. My kids swam on Christmas Day, though, so you've got to be prepared for anything.

We spent both of the NYEs we were in the World at the MK, but I have read and remember hearing last year that they were checking IDs at the Poly Beach and not allowing non-Poly guests access unless they had ADRs for the evening. Just thought I would throw that out there so you can verify before dealing with transportation and then realizing you can't do what you've planned to do.

I love your laid back plan!

Awww I love the pics of Bella, she is absolutely adorable!

And the clothes are so cute! I love the ear hats!

Your girls are too cute!

I love your ADRs. I think I am going to try for all of those on our next trip.

We were there this past Jan with 2 little ones. I am assuming Dec will be similar. The weather can be ALL OVER the place. We wore shorts and tees some days and long pants and sweatshirts on others. You need to pack everything. Oh and we did fit in swimming. The pool was warmer then the air but I couldn't keep DD out.

Thank you for the info! I guess I will be packing a little bit of everything!!

Joining in! Your girls are sooo cute! I love Port Orleans-Riverside. I will miss it this trip, but I know my daughter and I will enjoy POP!

Can't wait to read more!

You will love POP, we had had a great time there!!

Good thing we're driving! It sounds like we have lots to pack!!

Thank you so much for the poly info!! We do have an ADR for Ohana at 7:55, do you think that is late enough?

The ears even already have their names on the back. I hope Meika's will fit a little better by the time we go!

So I have been reading the discounts section of the dis and find myself spending lots of time tonight back on the disney website searching new dates and resorts for pricing again. I did receive a pin code a week ago but it expires Dec 16th. The dates we are going really can't change bc of my job. I could extend the date 1 more day at the end but that's all the flexibility I have. Can anyone tell me what a white rabbit code is everyone talks about? And am I crazy to think I could possibly get a code for the time I am going?? One can only wish right!! I know, I know, but I can't help thinking at night while in bed...extending our stay just one more night, or upgrading to the wilderness lodge, or saving money off the package and using it towards airfare...all this would help so much and make the trip even better! Hmmm, so much to think about!

 

[magickingdom]

Anyone, anyone???
I am dying to know what that white rabbit code means, and tell me...am I nuts for spending my time trying to get some type of code for the dates I am staying (12/27-1/2)?!!

OK enough of that, I forgot to post the awesome buys I found this past weekend on DisneyShopping. Since it was twiceuponayearsale and freeshipping for the 4th of July weekend I decided to take a look. And I found a cute lil minnie leggings outfit and cinderella zip-up hoodie/jacket for bella!! I can't wait to get them, and will post pics when I do!!

Thanks to Bibbityboo's organization chapter in her PTR, I am now searching for a tupperware to place in my closet so I can toss stuff in as I collect it for vacation!

 

[BippityBoo]

Ohhhh yay!!! I am SO happy I could help! I love that tip too. Just set one up in my closet yesterday (much to my DH's dismay). I am hoping that you get that PIN you want my friend The one I used ends on 12/17

 

[2kids2luv]

Love the pictures from your resort hopping. I am so excited to see all the Christmas decorations. We're doing MVMCP on 11/30.

Hope you get a code!

The White Rabbit pin code is the 20/30/40% off room rates that is good for dates throughout the year! It's the code I was using for my WL room until I switched to POR. But it's only good until 12/16 so it wouldn't help you for the dates you are looking for! Maybe a new code for those dates will come out sooner or later!

Hey, just joining in! I'm a Disney Bride too (WP/ADH in Jan 2007) and we're also going in December, although earlier in the month.
Your daughters are sooo cute! Can't wait to read more!

Your Christmas pictures reminded me of why I really, really want my daughter to experience Disney at Christmastime. Thanks!

Thank you for the pixie dust!! I hear its so busy during the week we are going that they rarely give codes, but fingers crossed...

Finally! Thank you so much for the answer, I started to think it was some huge secret or something!!
