)I know my plans changed at the last minute for our previous Christmastime trip when we added another guest and wanted him to get the most from his first visit, but I still can't believe I didn't take a single picture of the Christmas tree in the lobby of Jambo House while I had the chance. Every time I thought about it I didn't have the camera handy, and then all of a sudden we get up one morning and it was completely gone!Finally some content on this thread! (Just needling you Marv.
Your arrival day plans sound pretty good. There should be LOTS of holiday sights to take in, both at the resort and at Epcot. That'd be cool to see the various Santas around WS.
I took lots of character greet pictures of him and the two of them for his family, but very few decoration pictures at all! 
No pictures of our room, very little food porn, none of the must-haves for a DISer! I did get quite a few of the Osborne lights, but they were all on my cell phone!!! 
You were quick!After reminding me I was way past due an update so many times, I didn't want to announce it and see how long it took you to find your way over and read! Pretty impressive for an older woman!!!
May learn a hard lesson, but I'm gonna take a chance we can see it without the CP Dining Package. We should be done with our early dinner ADR in plenty of time to get in the standby line. If that doesn't look too promising, I've seen people post they just stood at the railing at the back of the theater and you can still see/experience everything just fine.
I'm sure we probably won't catch all of them, but I hope we do see a few. I need to do some research and see what times they appear. We might be too late the first day to catch any, but we do have a full Epcot day planned later in the trip.I hope you get to catch some of the Santas this trip. That was my big goal last year and, while I missed some of them, the ones I did see were a lot of fun. I loved the Norway one, but my friend thought it was annoying.
Yes, tragic in many ways! We actually rode up front once on our July 4th trip last summer, just a couple of days before the crash, which made the news even more real when we heard about it!
I think I will avoid adopting that line for future conversations. I'm thinking it might not sound like a good thing.....Marv, I may be OLD, but I am still QUICK!
Yes, I can see some definite drawbacks to that plan, getting wet being one of them!Very good plans for the first day! I would love to be able to take a stop halfway to Orlando to arrive relaxed - but I guess that would be a very wet night in the middle of the Atlantic!
When the trip became a commando one, it just seemed easier to not always be strapped down to a camera. When I had it, photo ops were more about people instead of surroundings......which is funny because I really hate a lot of "posed" pictures.I really can understand your feelings about not taking the right pictures. I was just looking at the pictures from my first trip to WDW in 2004 which was already with a digital camera and I was so sad that I missed out on so many picture opportunities.
Well that's never stopped you before......i dont have a whole lot of room to talk but an update.
ouchWell that's never stopped you before......
Hope you can forgive me! Consider this my check-in! I'm looking forward to your WDW Holiday pictures!ouch
And I should probably give everyone a whole lot more reason to check in!
Just because your last update was made at a "snail's" pace.....Kind of like Dan's, they are so rare that we should get a siren sound or something that an update has been posted.
Oh look! You checked in to my TR, and mentioned yours - I am embarrassed to say, I haven't even checked in here - yup. Totally missed it.
Hey everyone! Marv asked me to invite you to my non-disney cruise TR, so that I can help entertain you while he is busy - so come on along!

Tammie!!! Thanks for the bump up! Nothing to forgive. And I'm looking forward to my holiday pictures too......or at least getting there to take them! 
ouch that hurt even more than marvs comment.Kind of like Dan's, they are so rare that we should get a siren sound or something that an update has been posted.
Believe it or not, I have had a few minutes to keep up with most TRs (including yours), but not enough time to comment for the most part. After starting my takeover of Rosie's thread with her departure, I felt an obligation to use my little time there first to try and keep things going (similar to my dedication to yours while you were away)so she doesn't feel forgotten and unloved when she returns!
Marv, I may be OLD, but I am still QUICK!
And I wont be again this week Thursday thru Saturday !!!
its okay i forgive easySorry, Dan. I still love ya!
