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

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 had to get the MMR shot when I was 31 in order to graduate from graduate school. There was an outbreak of measles in the dorm (although I didn't live in the dorm) and you had to prove that you had the MMR shot. Apparently I had the MMR shot before I was 2 or something like that so I had to get it again. It wasn't pretty.

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'.

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...

My nephew's birthday is on Thursday, so we will probably have a family get together that evening. I'm sure you will all have a fabulous time at Yeehaw Bob's ... just don't get too close to his piano!

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.

One good thing is my mom and I are the same size so we could share clothes if we had too, so that could save some room.plus We usually ship our gifts that we buy at wdw home so at least I wont have to worry about how I am bringing all the stuff that I buy there home. Here is to hoping we dont over pack

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 was there Oct. 20-28, so missed the cool weekend. The coolest day was the 23rd, when it was in the low 80's. The rest of the week it was in the upper 80's. Thankfully - it wasn't humid until the past few days, with yesterday being the worst.

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

This always happened to us in November and December and I have always needed those winter clothes at night. I so cold one year we need hats and mittens too. The snow on main street could have been real.

Hey...Jen and I have decided to rent a car after all...I found a deal using a coupon from mousesavers and Jen's BJ's Wholesale Club membership program for a compact car. We're picking up at the airport and dropping off at the Dolphin right before the podcast taping. We'll both take ME back to the airport at different times on Monday...since we won't need the car on Sunday afternoon/night, it works perfectly! The estimated total with tax and everything is $85. That includes an extra driver and unlimited miles...

Just another alternative for everyone considering the car!

Thanks Brandie! I wasn't planning on renting a car, but I've just booked one for the same price, doing the same thing!

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.

PCC 1.0 was in May and DAP is in mid-December - and temps will probably be in the 30's (if you're lucky) or below when you fly to Orlando. I like to be comfortable when going to the airport, so I'll wear winter clothing all the way to Florida. I wore shorts to MCO yesterday, but changed into jeans at the airport.

Even if daytime temps are in the 70's and 80's during DAP, it will cool significantly (probably 50's) at night. That's not shorts weather for me.

Ahhhhhhh, I forgot about the stroller!!!! Even though Isabella is 6, she is small and doesn't like to walk all day - plus, it's a place to hang all of our bags and junk!!!

[Dodie]

Add me to the list of folks who freezes on the way to the airport in the winter and doesn't haul around a big winter coat in Florida. I will bring/wear a warm fleece jacket (and some gloves, maybe a scarf) and bring at least one sweatshirt. I may bring a pair of capris, but will probably wear khakis or jeans primarily.

If I end up needing something warmer - that's just an excuse to buy a new Disney sweatshirt.

I just spit my coffee out my nose when they said that Teresa was hiding her candy. Do you think she knew what that meant?

My secretary thinks I was drinking before work, I have been laughing so much.

I'm loving all the scary movies this time of year. AMC has Dracula on now...

Frontier does not pre heat up the cabin here in Aspen. So I have to wear a coat or a sweatshirt on all of my early morning flights when I fly on Frontier. I usually put shorts and flip flops in my carry-on bag and change in the airport.
