Great update! She looks so great as the Queen of Hearts! That tea party looks so fun!
Love the Christmas decorations at the Grand Floridian!
Thanks! Katie loved being the Queen of Hearts! She had that "Off with their heads!" thing down pat!
The tea party looks so fun!!! And the GF is so beautiful at Christmas time!
Katie loves that tea party, and I think is a little sad she's aged out of it. I asked her last night if she'd go back again, and she sounded a little sad when she said probably not.
beautiful pictures of the Grand Floridian. I am dying to stay there... hopefully on my next trip
Thanks! The Grand Floridian is even more beautiful in person, especially at Christmas. I'd sure love to stay there one day! It's on my Disney "to do" list. I just haven't been willing to take a shorter vacation to give up the POP for the GF, which is the choice I'd have to make. My goal is always to squeeze out as many days as I can.
I can't wait to see the GF decorations in person!!!!
You've officially got me looking forward to NEXT winter. Bring on the miserable, bring on the cold!
WOW! You MUST have the holiday spirit........ to be looking forward to taking it on COLD and all!
Fortunately, I'm through the super cold weather in the trip report now. You'll notice I didnt' say I'm done with the bad weather.......... just the super cold stuff...
I'm still WAY back and forth on when to go back. I want to do SOMETHING, but just can't decide. And one of the options is mid-October, and ADR's are booking already, so I need to commit. Of course, it would help if they'd announce some deals for fall.
Here are the options I'm considering:
1) early to mid-October. I'm dying to go back to
MNSSHP. But I'm very heat intolerant, and that heat in 09 really scared me off.
I'd prefer to do late October. But cross country districts were the last couple weeks of October last year. Without knowing when that would be, I'm afraid to schedule then. He won't want to come, but I don't want to miss districts.
2) the week before Thanksgiving. It's supposed to be a low crowd week and the weather is a better bet. But we just did the Christmas thing last year, so I'm not as excited about it again.
3) early to mid-October at DL. But they don't do free dining, and don't have value resorts, so we'd probably only get to stay 3-4 days. It can still get hot in October, but it's not as humid, and cools off better in the evenings.
And to be honest, we'd then miss WDW for the entire year, and I'd miss seeing our fairy godmother!
Not to mention AK, 1900 PF, and a bunch of our other regular stuff. I'm really torn about this!
Anyone want to make up my mind for me?
that I finally got a sneak peek into the experience! This tea party always has ranked as one of her favorite things to do at Disney. I'm just sort of sad that this was probably her last time to experience it. She was one of the older ones there, and by the time we get back next, I'm sure she'll want to avoid feeling out of place.
