We are about 12 hours from leaving for the airport. It's crazy to think we have been planning our first GF trip for over two years!

We will be staying in two standard connecting TPV rooms. The connecting rooms are guaranteed based on some issues we had while booking....

If any of you have a question for me to research for you or specific pics you would like, let me know and I'd love to do it!

Woo Hoo!!!!

congrats on your first stay! how exciting! the selfish me wants to ask you to just take pics of anything, because i do just love me some GF pics, and love to live vicariously through this who are there when i am not! any pics of the main building, boat dock area, or beach area will be most appreciated. i will be honest, i don't NEED those pics for any solid reason, i just WANT them and will enjoy them, lol!

have a wonderful trip, whether you have time to post pics or not!!

actually one practical question, does sandy cove still carry a white GF logo zippered golf jacket? if so, i am going to order one from wow merchandising! when i was there they only had one in my size and it had stains all over it. bff bought one and i am so envious that she has one and i don't, lol!

 

[k&a&c'smom]

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving & first day of Hanukkah!

meredith1 - I've missed your send off, safe travels and have a Grand vacation! As bethclayton posted, any photos are appreciated.

beth - I hate it when I see something I want, but don't get it for whatever reason, then wish I had.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving to my GF friends! Wednesday at 3pm when I could close down my computer, I did and didn't look at it until this evening! I may have stayed off it today too, except I had to come in my office to get my wheat thins! I hope you all had a wonderful and beautiful day and that you are resting comfortably if you went black Friday shopping.

Wow we must be busy, almost no posts today.

I put up 2 trees, babysat my nieces overnight, shopped, cleaned, etc.

Time for HP7!!!

AND TO DREAM OF UPCOMING TRIP THIS NEW YEARS DAY

We should arrive at GF around 9pm but not to fear, I have FP+ for splash and space mtns (splash closing for refurb in Jan) and park open to 11pm. The kids can ride and dh and I can get the desserts ready for their return

Enjoy your family time and see you in my GF dreams!

I don't know why the bolded part made me laugh so hard!

Glad you were able to get away from technology for a while, I do that sometimes, too.

Just over 3 weeks, it'll be here before you know it!!

My goodness, you were busy! I have my tree out of the box, does that count?!

Your trip is getting sooo close! I'll bet you are very excited.

Hi k&a&c'smom

Have fun putting your tree up and decorating . I put mine up last weekend. I like to enjoy it more before Christmas than after as I'm one of those who take it down 12/26 . I used to keep it up until New Years Day, but the last 5 or 6 years I've put it up earlier and have taken it down the day after Christmas. By the time Christmas Day comes and goes, I'm ready for spring .


Hi to everyone else.....hope everyone is having a nice holiday weekend .

LOL about being ready for spring! I'm ready the first dip below 50 degrees.

My mom always put hers up early and took it down late - usually Jan. 2. I tend to put it up a week or so into December, then take it down sometime in the week after Christmas, whenever the spirit moves. I need to get it up soon, as I have to go back to Chicago next weekend for a couple weeks.

I've ordered most of my Christmas presents, so I'm ahead there at least!

 

[Mousemommy1]

Hi Everybody!

I hope you all had fun on Thanksgiving Day!!! We had a day of fun, family and friends which is always welcome!!

We put up our tree on Friday. It is our tradition to put them up the day after Thanksgiving, but Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday and it was so hard to wait to put up the decorations since Thanksgiving was so late!

DH still has to do the outdoor lights, but we woke up to snow this morning and now just some form of precipitation is falling. Next week he has drill weekend (Air National Guard) so, it will likely be another two weeks before our outdoor lights go up.

I started Christmas shopping in October and I am almost done with the girls stuff.

I just need to get through the next 3 weeks and then I have two weeks off from work for Christmas break!

It's been decent here the last few days with temps in the mid 40s and sunny ....although later in the week the temps are supposed to drop with the end of the week only being a high of 29 .

WTG on the online ordering . My shopping is almost done.....just a few more things to buy .

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

Well.. I couldn't wait for 68 days.. So I am going for one night this weekend. I plan to run over to the grand and soak in the holiday lobby!!

That is awesome you've ordered most stuff. I am almost completely done too. Just a few more things. I'm not usually done this early, but we have this tripped planned for Christmas, so . . . .

I am ready for Spring as soon as Christmas is done too! Bye then the snow has served it's purpose and I am ready for warmth!!!! LOL

I'm not usually done this early either, so it feels good to only have a couple more things to get and December just started . I hear you on the snow......I can take a few snowfalls right around Christmas and then I'm ready for it to be over .

Your trip will be here before you know it . Disney at Christmas is amazing!!!

 

[grannyminnie]

Good morning all. Hope everyone had a lovely holiday! We went to visit our daughter in Va. and got home dinner time yesterday. I'm so tired..

My tree always goes up early (I like to enjoy it a few weeks before Christmas). And I leave it up later too. I just love Christmas! However, I have done NO shopping yet!
