Did everyone have a nice Thanksgiving?

My Thanksgiving was very nice ...thank you But I did hate having to leave at 8pm that evening to start Black Friday shopping!!!! I know, I know....I didnt really have to go shopping, but I just can't pass up a good deal! LOL

Well my friend and I went in shifts. We left at 8pm and were done with Target and Walmart by 10:30pm. Our mall did not open until midnight so we went back to her house to eat again Got to the mall by 11:45pm and stayed til 1:30am. Then went back home to sleep until 5am when we were back out the door to go back to the mall. We were finally done shopping by 10am. What an exhausting night/day that was!

We also did some BF shopping not as much in years past because of all the crazy start times, but it was still fun. We had to go because next year on black friday we will be on the road to DW

That sounds like a lot of fun!

The tentative plan is to leave the evening after my graduation on the 15th and come back the 23rd..resort is undecided at this point. Leaning toward POFQ, but I would love to do GF or BC and DD wants AoA or Pop lol. Soooo, maybe a split stay? DH wants me to make sure our financial house is in order before doing any concrete planming just yet. Sigh.

My wife & I will be traveling from Australia & sailing Transatlantic from Barcelona to Florida arriving 9th Dec 2013.

We plan on staying 10 days in Orlando. 6 @ Disney: probably at BCV or BLT. The last 4 days @ Portobello resort @ universal.

Can't wait - must admit hotel prices quite expensive compared with here in Australia. Most ave 4.5 star hotels here are $140-150. Is this a monopoly by Disney ? Lol

If you will be at WDW between now and the 23rd of December. If you can and are willing to video (with a cell or iPad) one or couple of princesses to personally invite my 2 daughters Caroline and Caitlin to WDW for their Birthdays in February and text/email it to me. I'm trying to create a DVD to give to them as the last Christmas present to let them know were going to WDW in February.

Thanks in advance,

Hinky

Hinky,

This is the December 2013 thread. There is a December 2012 thread elsewhere. I love your idea if the personal invite! I hope it works out for you and your girls!!

Best,
Danielle

Sorry!

Hello All! Thanksgiving for us was WONDERFUL as we were at Mickey's House! Now about to head out on a short 3 day cruise on the Dream with no kids. LOVE IT!!!! Merry Christmas to me.

DSis and I are starting to get very excited now about next year. The thought of doing a B2B and then getting a 4 day stay in WDW is just AWESOME!

Dean1972- Still a little jealous of you though..I SOOOOO want to do a Transatlantic. DH said it will probably be 13 yrs from now though. That's when DD5 will be 18. Ahhh well.

 

[ktrask]

WOOOO...I wanted to jump on into this thread for sure.

I feel like it's finally good for me to do real planning now that we are less than a year away!

 

[LLLSRL]

"Less then a year", ..sounds amazing doesnt it!! Im so excited. It will be like the first time seeing as it will be 7 years since our last visit!!!

 

[ktrask]

I am beyond excited to go. Hubbs could take it or leave it, but he will love it when we are there. He's like that with just about every vacation.

I'm just most excited for hubbs and I to share it with DD. It's going to be amazing to watch it all unfold for her.

 

[LLLSRL]

Yea my husband is the same way. He has a great time when we are there but doesnt have to mention the trip once before that, lol..He's like remind me on Feb. 28th (thats when he has to put his vacation days in) and let me know the day we leave before so i can pack...thats his planning, lol..Thats ok the kids and i have a great time talking about it for the 2 years prior

 

[CynBeth]

That sounds like my husband. Usually we book a trip a year in advance whether it's to Disney or elsewhere and that whole year I do all sorts of planning and get so excited and do countdowns as the time gets closer. He usually does not get excited until a day or 2 before we leave.
