I'm so glad I found your Pre TR for your upcoming December trip I always enjoy reading your TR's. I need to do some catching up w/ your October trip (I was there during the F&W this October too, and I've been super busy since we've been back).

I was reading your report from last years Magic & Merriment event to get an idea of how things went. Great report! We will be there this year too .

I will have the October TR up soon. I need more hours in the day.

I will also update this now December only PTR as well.

Last year was indeed fantastic. D23 has alot to live up to, but they did add an extra night. I'm very much looking fwd to it. My December report from last year should have every little detail. I should re-read it too! LOL!


I will not be able to do much tomorrow since I will be visiting the Grand Opening of the Disney store as well as attending the theater for Elf the Musical.

I was already at the soft-opening on Thursday night, so tomorrow will be looking at the details of the store. All the pics are on my Twitter account for now.

Sorry for the lack of updates! I should be achanging that momentarily!!


I did want to post that I will have an October TR up since i have received my Photopass pictures.

I leave in 9 days, so hopefully, I will be able to do it. The estate & everything else has taken a huge amount out of me. But i like to get more back into my happy place.

Luckily, the airfare went down significantly a couple of moths ago to $158 round trip, so that made me pretty happy. If you remembe,r I was quite grouchy about the airfare being $500+ for a Friday leaving.


I bought the Costco deal for the Universal tickets, however, I still have to figure out whether I want to include it on this trip. I still have 2 days and until 2013 to use the days up.

I also have to add in visiting Celebration as I didn't see it last year and plus, I have a Segway tour voucher.

So far, I cancelled a couple of ADRs because I got tickets to D23's Magic & Merriment event and I think I went overboard on ADRs anyway. I still have to cancel Hoop DeRevue ressie and the LeCellier one and I haven't the heart to do so yet. lol


More coming!

 

[Nemo32]

Too bad! I love Hoop-dee-doo!!

 

[jenny105]

If you get any free time, go to Universal! WWoHP is worth it! It's amazing!

I KNOW! I really wanted to experience it, but, hey, next time.

Besides, the reaosn I have to cancel is Magic & Merriment. And that is one cool event.

I went in October and it was great!!

I just don't know if I want to go in December....



And for Hoop Dee Doo Revue....how long is the show? My ressie is at 5pm and I have an event to be at Hollywood Studios by 8pm. Can I make it?

I thin k you will be cutting it close. What time is the next show, 7:15 or 7:30? Usually one shows ends right before the next one starts. I have had to wait both times I went for the show before to exit. And then the bus situation is a madhouse. But being you are at the 1st show, you can boat over to MK, but I think you still wil lbe cutting it short, since you t hen have to get a bus over to HS.

I think you actually have to park the car at the front of Fort Wilderness, so it would take some time to get back to it on the internal bus system. We only rode the system once, but found it slow that one time. We rode it from the front back to hoopdeedoo.

Oh yea, I still have to take a bus within Fort Wilderness!

Darn, guess no Hoop Dee Doo Revue for reals. Well, I guess it is on the list for next time then. ah well.

You can always ask over on the dining board to get more opinions. Maybe others have had better luck.

Thanks! But I think cancellation is best. I hate to do it, but it can be on the bucket list.

I just don't want to stress over getting there on time; I don't think I could enjoy Hoop and relax.
