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

[katscradle]

We finally broke down and bought an artificial Christmas Tree the day after Christmas last year. I've always had real, even before I was married and living w/my parents, so this was a huge thing for me. I loved the real trees, but, the past few years they've gotten to be such a pain in the neck, and, we wouldn't be able to decorate it until closer to Christmas.

I am excited to break out the new Christmas tree this year, I think I'll do it the weekend after Thanksgiving. I decorate a lot, both inside and out. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I have lots of stuff.

I have a whole plastic bin in my attic filled with my most prized posessions.... my disney ornaments. I usually get a few personalized ornaments when we go down to WDW each year and I love being able to bring them out and display them!

I love a real tree, Colorado Blues are my favorite.
However with us going to WDW for 2 weeks at the begining of December for the last couple of years, and the next several as well.
I have decided that a real tree is not the way to go.
It is really hard to find a 12-14 foot tree at a good price before we leave, and the pickings are slim when we return.
The artificial tree I have is only 6 foot.
I would like the 12 foot artificial spruce that Costco is selling, but they want $500. for it, so that is not likely.
I will have to pick and choose which ornaments go on the tree this year, with the 6 foot I will not be able to fit them all on.
Most of the ornaments we have have been handed down from John's grandmother and mother.
I also have a few Disney ones.
I buy one every year we go.

The smell is what I'm going to miss the most. I actually put up a few different trees in my house, but, the "main" tree was always real. Now they are all going to be fake - oh well.

Well you also won't have the mess that comes with a real tree.
If you are going to miss the smell of a real tree, may I suggest you buy a box of pine scented tealights. Partylights are the best.
Then just hide 1 or 2 tealights in the tree.
It gives it the smell of a real tree.

Are you talking about that store "Basin" in DTD? If so, that store stinks, I can't go in it...

I had to leave that store very quickly and have not been back.
I went in there a few years ago, and started to choke from the smell.
It is overpowering in there.

OK Gang I have some news to share about the Toy Story Party pm 12/12/09 as part of DAP.

I was speaking with our Disney Event Coordinator today and I have the event start time wrong. We will be starting at 9:30PM instead of 9:00PM. Apparently I misunderstood how it was going to work - I thought we were going to start at 9PM and the food would be served at 9:30 - turns out the whole thing starts at 9:30PM. Not sure how I missed that, but.....

So this kind of creates a bad news/good news kind of scenario. The bad news being we will start a half hour later - the good news being that some folks who had ADR's that night and were afraid they would not make the party will be fine.

The other good news is that folks planning on attending the D23 event the same night might still be able to make it to our event as well. D23 is scheduled to end at 9:45PM and from what I understand that is going to be the end of the 'dessert party' - nothing special is planned. So if you were at the D23 event you could leave a few minutes early and make it to our event.

Now - if anyone is upset with this change and does not want to attend the party anymore I completetly understand. Just contact me and I will make sure you are removed from the list and any monies paid are refunded.

If you could not attend our event before because it conflicted with something else - but now you feel you can make it - feel free to contact me as well and I will make sure you get signed up for the event.

I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused any one.

Thanks
John

Hubby wants to know if we get to ride any rides. or is it just a social event ?

DH once asked, why are these people following you.
This can't be safe!

I know he was being funny but I get creeped out when I get a message that a total stranger is "following me". I'm not tweeting so what reason could these people have for following me. I'm not important or someone famous.

Trying to catch up here, but had to say.....

These people that are following Kat have stats like "0 followers, 0 tweets, following 3,473 people".
Now you tell me........
