^^^Disney Christmas Ornament Exchange Sent/Received thread^^^COMPLETED!!

[Meriweather]

Our trip was wonderful thanks. AKL was beautiful, the parks were not too bad, we used fast pass well! I bought way too many pins, and did lots of pin trading with CM's. As our anniversary was noted on our reservation we recieved quite a few cards from the CM's in the restaurants and in California Grill for our anniversary meal we were given a free glass of champagne each and a piece of anniversary chocolate cake. Plus we had a window table with an amazing view over the MK and Wishes. Now I just have to sort out and put away all the pins I got!!

Sounds fun....how was the heat? That is the only thing that is worrying me about out upcoming trip.

Any special pin finds to tell us about. I need to start thinking about how many $$ to take for that!!

Celebrating something special is fun! We went for our anniversary in June.

All packages are now in the mail

We should have a couple of arrivals today, hopefully

The heat wasn't too bad, some days the humidity was awful, but with afternoon breaks it was OK. We had 1 day where it rained a lot, but apart from that there was hardly any rain at all (most days didn't even have the usual afternoon 30 minutes of rain.)

As for pin finds, I traded 23 pins with CM's altogether and managed to finish of some sets I had been looking for. I bought a few LE pins too, the AKL key one, the large Kilimanjaro Safari FP one and Pete bought a cool LE lightsabre set from the Star Wars weekend. Oh and I had to buy a new pin trading bag too to put them all in. But now I have bags from DL, WDW and DLRP which is nice. I think between us we came back with about 65 new pins!!

Sounds great. I hope the weather isn't too bad when we are there. I hate humidity!
I need a new pin bag. I had one in my cart at Disneyshopping.....$10!! And then my computer went weird and when I got back they were all sold out

We just have to have some arrivals today

 

[Danauk]

Nothing here today, we didn't have any post at all yesterday and today which was unusual.

 

[Pinky166]

We didn't have any post today either Karen, not sure if there are some postal strikes still.

 

[Meriweather]

Hmmm...that is odd. Hope you both receive yours on Monday.

I hear our PO is considering doing away with Sat. deliveries.

I hear our PO is considering doing away with Sat. deliveries.

It's a bank holiday here on Monday so there won't be any post now until Tuesday.

 

[Meriweather]

Wow that is a long time with no mail.....
Well, hopefully Tuesday will see yours and Karen's arrival then

We do have at least one US one that should arrive.....hopefully today. It is taking its time arriving.

 

[JLitfin]

Just popping in to say no delivery here, but if mine is coming international then it's still to soon for an arrival. Hopefully next week.
