You had a productive day! Your pictures and video of the lights are great! I'm sorry you didn't get to see everything you wanted on this trip.

Lovely update!

We were in the Studios that night too - we had dinner at Mama Melrose's at 7pm, then saw Muppet Vision 3D, and spent a lot of time looking at the Osborne Lights!

Love the video you took... I got a video of the lights dancing to 'Feliz Navidad', but I love that version of 'Silver Bells' they use!

Can't believe it was nearly a month ago already!!

Thanks!!!! I will never get everything done that I want on every trip... just means I have to go back!!!

I love the lights dancing... I could sit and watch them all night but the kids won't let me

We took a really long break at the hotel (5 hours) cause I was hoping the kids would stay later but no.. I think we do better with morning EMH

Great update!! My sister and cousin are now quitting cold turkey so good for you for quitting!!! It is better when you don't have to stop every so often for a nicotine fix.

If you go back to the hotel with intentions to go back to the park, never go swimming. You may think you're relaxing but pools will always wipe you out. Every time I go swimming, I need to conk out for a few hours.

Thanks it was hard but it has been 3 years and I am proud. I quit cold turkey too

Swimming on break didn't bother us last year but we didn't do evening EMH last year either so that must be part of it

Sounds like you got a lot accomplished at DHS. Most of your list... and swimming. We didn't get to swim at all so I am jealous of that. We had always meant to but the weather was just stinky and never really co-operated enough to swim. Awesome day for you all!

 

[TanzUnited99]

Hello followed you over from another TR and have just caught up with all the updates...great report so far!

The dessert is No Way Jose (like most people have guessed!)
Love that you get to go to Niagra Falls before your trip...have never been but it looks like a very peaceful and relaxing place.
Great Mickey nails. Although I have read many guides telling me to stay away from MK on a Saturday I have always wondered how busy it actually gets...insane I know! Your TR has shown me and I think I will stay away on a Saturday on our trip.
I can't believe you got to see Whoopi at WDW! I would love to see her.
Hooray for getting so much done at DHS A shame that Beauty and the Beast was closed but you have an excuse to go back!

Looking forward to reading more.

I almost feel like we have to swim when we go to Florida since it is so cold here in Canada. I went in the water this day too and it wasn't too bad. The water was warm but the air started to get chilly

We go to Niagara Falls quite often, if you stick around you will see at least one trip there

Trust me, stay away from MK on a Saturday

I love Whoppi and my whole trip was planned around that reservation

Not that I need an excuse to go back

 

[exwdwcm]

wow, busy day! looks like you guys had a great breakfast! brings back memories- i used to work at H&V! oh the joy of bussing tables and serving food (pre character meal days).

Bummer on B&B being out. RnR was down the day we were at HS. i was really bummed cuz Lindsey really wanted to ride it. Oh well, next time, right? You still go a lot done this day though.

Great pics of the lights, was it really crowded when you went?

sorry on mom smoking- that would annoy me too. but huge kudos to you for quitting- that's a big deal!!!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

sounds like great productive day!!!!

I really love the lights too!! We didn't stay as long as we had in past years but we still saw the lights dance to 3 songs which was good!

 

[stephielela]

We will get the monorail next year for sure but they seem happy with the castle

What does the halloween bucket look like, we might be there for MNSSHP next year so i will need to add it to my collection

The Halloween bucket is a ghost mickey carrying a pumpkin pail for trick or treating. i don't know if it's the same every year, but I will for sure be getting one this year!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Great update! You got so much done and I loved watching the Osborne Lights video. One of my favorite moments from our trip too.

I love the lights dancing... I could sit and watch them all night but the kids won't let me

Aha! Something else the two of us could do together. We'll send all the kids off!

Thanks it was hard but it has been 3 years and I am proud. I quit cold turkey too

GOOD FOR YOU!!!

I want one too!! Maybe in 2013, we'll go for an anniversary trip during F&W and do the MNSSHP and Horror Nights at Universal!

Emma loved the breakfast at H&V but Eryka said it was to babyish for her... man they grow up fast

B&B will be at the top of the list for next trip... I can't believe I have never seen it

The lights were fairly crowded but we managed to get through the crowd with everyone holding on. I didn't see the pp photographer that was there though, I would have liked that

sounds like great productive day!!!!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!

We almost need a joint trip! funny cause we live 30 min from eachother

I want one too!! Maybe in 2013, we'll go for an anniversary trip during F&W and do the MNSSHP and Horror Nights at Universal!

I think MNSSHP is on the list for this year one way or another for us

Hi! Just found your TR and am all caught up, loving it so far! I love going around Christmas, the decorations are so amazing! I love your CP pics! We usually go in November (we went a couple of weeks before you, I'm STILL sad about being back! Come check out my TR if you get a chance!) and we always miss the CP by a week! Someday I will go in December!

I love your Illuminations pics! What kind of camera do you have, my camera is horrible for fireworks pictures!

I can't believe you didn't like the cheddar cheese soup at Le Cellier! I guess it's not for everyone, but I LOVE it!

That Mickey snowman popcorn bucket is awesome!

Can't wait to read more!

 

[Daddy_of_Princesses]

Diane wanted one of those popcorn buckets, but we never got around to actually buying one.

I love going in December but I think we are going to go at a different time this year. you have to go see the CLP it is very moving

I have a Fujifilm S700 and I used the natural light setting for the fireworks and night parade shots which seemed to work better. I am not a good photographer at all but I like to play with the settings and figure out what works the best

Ya sorry I didn't like it... I love cheese and to me that wasn't cheesy

I love my bucket!!! Off to check out your TR!

Maybe if you had bought her the bucket she wanted you would be planning your next trip to Disney instead of Italy
