DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[jeanigor]

You won't know how to pack until you check weather reports just before you leave home. It could be in the upper 30's/low 40's at night. I've been to several Christmas parties in past years in early December where I was all bundled up.

So should I bring the full length coronation robe just in case?

Good choice. A tired Mike might be a crabby Mike. No may gusta crabby people.

The only crabs we want to see are at Fulton's

Yup ... I don't want to be crabby or sleepy during Lee and Marty's speeches.

From your lips....

My mom is the BIGGEST overpacker to begin with..I can only imagine what will happen when she has to pack warmer clothes and summer clothes

LOL - yes! Since you're flying from the Midwest, I assume you will be wearing winter attire when you board the plane. Hopefully you won't need it at WDW, but I was glad to have my winter jacket, hat, and gloves for several chilly Decembers at WDW.

He is too cute.

That would be simply terrible. Just like oversleeping for it.

*pptoo*pptoo*pptoo* May nobody suffer that.

You never know with the weather in December.

My theory is it is better to pack it than to be sorry - but I don't fly so I am always overpacking.

Good morning Tracey!

Good Morning Jennifer!

I hope your son's shot reaction doesn't last long.

I fly to Florida in whatever clothes I expect to land in, so I can be comfortable getting off the plane. If the forecast is 70's I will wear shorts. Like for PCC 1.0. It was under 50° when I boarded. But I was comfortable and didn't have to change clothes once I landed.

That is what I am worried about the most - for the four of us I'm trying to keep it to 2 large suticases and 4 carry-on's, but, I don't know if thats going to work out. It is going to be cold when we leave, so we'll be bundle up.
I'm really going to try to pack less.........won't happen....but, I'm going to try.

 

[tlcoke]

Yep - it's going to be one HOT Halloween at WDW! I left Orlando yesterday, and the heat and humidity of the past few days have me questioning whether I want to go in October again.

I had perfect weather if you don't count the Cold Day (didn't hit 60 degrees that one day - Brrr for Florida - especially if you didn't have any cool weather clothes packed).

I do the same thing.

 

[Madi100]

Living in Iowa, the weather in Florida has always been nice for us. The most we've ever had to do were jeans and sweatshirts. These are on days when we saw people with winter coats. So, I'll just stick to that for packing. However, my sister visited last January, and she froze. I felt so bad for them. If I had been there, jeans and sweatshirt would have been pushing it.

 

[firsttimemom]

I'll add to the apparent list of very early risers this morning - DS5 came in at 3:30, had a fever of 103.5. He crawled in bed with us, and his hot little body curled up with me, there was no way I was going back to sleep. Now we have the tv on in my bedroom, and I think I may take a nap.

poor lil guy! I hate those high fevers. I hope you both get a chance to sleep today.

 

[mikelan6]

Speaking of clothes and packing. Do you all think we should bring a sweater or something for the Friday morning presentation? Sometimes those conference rooms can get pretty chilly.

 

[firsttimemom]

That's the frustrating part - he's not sick. When he got his shots on Monday, the doc forwarned me the MMR may give him delayed reaction, which would be a fever. But to the school, a fever is a fever is a fever, even though he's otherwise fine.

ahh- the old MMR reaction. DD had that fever and then a huge rash. I remember trying to get her into her christmas dress in the nordstrom womens room so we could get pics w/ Santa and all these other moms looked at her in horror.

I always have a hoodie (or lightweight sweatshirt) with me when I am in the Parks in December. Never know when you might be in an attraction that has the A/C on full blast or if a chilly wind starts.

Morning Folks....

Hi Mike! Have a Merry Sausage Christmas! Will be at Biergarten Sunday the 13th!

Surprise guest at DIS-A-Palooza!!!!!

Good morning George

Hi Jennifer.

Mornin' peeps!

Hi Brandie. How is little Crabbie today?

I've made an executive decision. To break up the drive from Miami to WDW a little bit, I'm going to be driving up the Thursday night and staying over at at hotel about half way. That way, I don't have to get up quite as early to get to the Swan/Dolphin for the presentation.

Good plan Mike. If me I'd drive the whole way the night before. But I understand getting an affordable room could be the issue. You could join the gang at Yeehaa Bob's if you did that. Just sayin'.

He's a smart one.

Just an FYI - all sign-up emails have been sent to people interested in attending the seminar on Friday.

If you signed up for the TSM party and want to attend the seminar but did not get an email please email me at John@DreamsUnlimitedTravel.com and I will look into it for you.

Good point. What if you drove up on Thursday night, but didn't stay on property? :gasp: Might be affordable and you could get a little more rest...
