I finally have my house back and can get back to Dissing It has been a crazy week but we had a wondeful Christmas with all the family from both my side and Dh's family here. The kids were completley spoiled and we had a huge Christmas dinner with way to many left overs. That's OK leftover turkey sandwiches are the best. So I will finally put up the pics from our last DFN. We watched Cars and made cars door hangers and did our Gingerbread cookies. Now that Christmas is over I'll have to come up with more crafts to go with our movies. I love DFN it really is a nice way to have a relaxing evening.
The boys making their doorhangers.

and the final product

Gavin's Gingie

Kia's

Caiden's he went a little overboard on the frosting

and all of them

and here are some pics from Christmas morning. The kids woke me up at 4:30 in the morning Ughhh!
The kids in their new Christmas Pj's Gavin is acting like a transformer

Great pictures! Any luck with the ADRs for US/IOA? Just remember, you can always cancel. Heck, I've made all of our reservations and we don't even have confirmed dates yet.

Great pictures, hon! I finally showed Piper your PTR since she knows our dates now, she saw Gavin and said.."It looks like I could be good friends with him!" I love the pic of the two boys together too, very cute!

great px!!! I'm with Grandma (it's always tooooo early on xmas morning for me!!!!!!)

Your preliminary itinerary looks great! I have to laugh at myself however. I initially thought, "6:45-8:00, that's not much of a plane ride??????" THEN I realized I needed to add 3 hours onto that!!!! YIKES You guys are up early and indeed in for a loooooong day!!

I wish it was only 6:45 to 8:00am. It's 6:45am to 8:00pm. Right?? Now you have me thinking. I'll have to go check my flight times.

 

[kellyw8863]

Yay! I think your itinerary looks great! I'll have to check out the Trattoria del Porto. Is it a character meal?

Yep, I was right it's leave home at 6:45am and arrive there at 8:00pm thats are whole first day just getting there. By the time we get our rental can and check-in at GKTW it will time to get some sleep.

Thanks Kelly. Yes Trattoria is a character meal. It's italian food and they have several universal characters, but which ones it dosent say Im hoping some super heroes or maybe scooby doo.

Itinerary is looking good. Not sure why they would have Illuminations after the park is closed unless they have EMH that night? Weird.

The hours for Future World and World Showcase at Epcot are different. Future World closes at 7 that day but World Showcase remains open until 9pm. At 9 they will have the Illuminations show and then the entire park will be closed after that.

OMG!!! 8pm!! I STILL had it wrong. I was still thinking am but I was thinking backwards with the time difference and just adding 3 hours (of course you guys are behind us not ahead). Do you have a layover, or two, or THREE!!?????

Thanks Stephanie, I'll have to add that to my itenerary. Did you guys watch IllumiNations? Is it worth seeing?
