December 2011 Check-In

[kelmac284]

I had to take my name off the nov thread and in fact we were supposed to leave tomorrow BUT the good news is we are going now Dec 9-12 and I am actually happier because that means we can see all the xmas. A lot of it might not have been ready in Nov so I am SO excited.

We are staying at Desert Inn.

Please add me too. We leave Australia 2 weeks today and we will be at DL 1st December to 6th December. It's mine and the kids' first time and my husband's second. We are also on the MR cruise from the 11th. I'm so excited that I'm becoming unbearable to my my nearest and dearest!

I know we're still a few months away but there's already some of us waiting and wanting to start talking about our December 2011 trips!! So if you fall into this group with us, drop by and join in the fun. And don't forget to check out the Disneyland at Christmas Superthread!

So who all is planning a Disney trip this December? Post below (please do no copy & paste) with your dates of travel and where you'll be staying and I'll get you added. And please speak up if you are interested in participating in a small DIS meet and greet!

My husband and I are going Dec 8-12. Two nights at the Red Lion and 2 nights at Paradise Pier. I can't wait to see all the holiday stuff with no kids!

Leaving our 8 kids at home!

 

[kirstie101]

Can you add me for Dec 16-18 please? We'll be staying at the Desert Inn. Can't wait!

 

[Liat]

I think I'm on the November list as well, but would love to be added to this one too. We're there from the 27th of November until the 3rd of December. Leaving the next day for Disney Cruise!

 

[TXHauntedMansionFan]

You can add us too; we'll be flying in from TX on the 6th and staying until the 10th. We're looking forward to staying at the "new" DL hotel and seeing all the Christmas decorations!

 

[Peace.love.mickey]

Add me...9-11 DLH! WOO HOO!!!!

 

[Briarrose1306]

Finally confirmed my dates! I'll be at the BW Pavilions on Dec 9-11. This will be my first solo trip! I would definitely be up for meeting some fellow DISers though!

 

[Astylla]

[luvdumbo]

Woohoo! I am taking a last minute trip to DL because of work! I will be there Dec 2-6th! To keep myself from getting lonely while there I will be tweeting while in the parks so if you would like to follow along in my journey my twitter id is in my signature.

 

[jaregirl]

December 5th to December 10th.
My husband and I are taking my daughter and her boyfriend (his first trip).
He is planning on proposing to my daughter on Splash Mountain right before they go over the big drop.
Disneyland is her "happy place" and he wanted to ask her to marry him in a place full of pixie dust and magic.
She has no clue.
They are perfect for one another and absolutely ooze happiness and love when they are together.
It is going to be a wonderful Christmas!

Aw! So sweet. Make sure he holds on tight to that ring though. I can imagine it going flying in all the excitement.

I leave for my solo birthday trip in one week and 10 hours. Well, I'm hoping that I get to leave in a week. My 10 year old daughter broke her arm (badly) on Sunday, and we have to go back to the ortho next Tuesday to see if she will need surgery. It sounds like she may need screws and a plate put in, in which case I'd obviously cancel my trip. I am really, really hoping that she can avoid surgery - she's already had too much of it in her short life.

But! If all goes smoothly, one week from today I'll be packing up and ready to go.

last minute trip just booked... so excited!

12/11-12/13 @ the GCH..



can't wait to see all the holiday wonderfulness!

 

[A Small World]

This time next week we will be there- we will probably just be going into the parks after our long flight - it will midnight our time but we wont care we will be in there having fun til we drop

 

[lorieintucson]

we just booked a last minute trip, too! I couldn't believe that there was still a "fall special" package at DLH for 12/18-12/21. I took it as a sign and that's what's for Christmas this year!

My DS5 and DS4 caught me looking on line (we're surprising them with a magical early present from Santa the day before we leave) and I just talked about all our fun memories from our last trip (dec 09) and how much I wished we could go again. Hook, line and sinker they bought it! This is going to be a great two weeks building up the surprise!
