Hello - new to the boards

[tinkerbell30]

Hi everyone

I just wanted to say hello. I have been reading your board for 6wks now, ever since booking our trip to disney for 16th November.

I have to say, it has been really useful - lots of great tips and ideas.

We are staying in Santa Fe (because its the cheapest!!) for 4 nights. Our eldest daughter is 9 1/2 and our youngest will have just turned 4. We are planning on keeping it a suprise until we get there. My youngest loves disney princesses, mickey and minney, so will be in her element. We went to DLP a couple of years ago but made the mistake of going during the last weekend in August. It was crazy, really hot and humid, and packed full (with the added bonus of some very arrogant people), so I vowed to never go again. But I love Christmas and it may be the last christmas when my eldest believes in Santa, so taking the benefit of that and decided to book.

I have started gathering Disney things up for our trip, including a reversible princess dress. One way its snow white and turn it inside out and its sleeping beauty - ingenious and will take up less room than 2 dresses.

I just cant wait to see the kids faces when they realise where we are taking them (thats if I dont let it slip before then!)

Anyway, must go - kids bathtime!

Bye for now

Hi,
DLP is very beautiful at Christmas and at that time of the season and mid week I would think the parks will be fairly quiet and hopefully you'll have a much nicer experience than the last one.

Hi
I'm going the week after you, on the 22nd, also staying at the Santa Fe with my 2 daughters (7 and nearly 3), so I'll be interested to hear how it all went when you come home. Have a great time.

Hi Tink, welcome to the board. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time, our first trip was to the Santa Fe and it was much nicer than I was expecting for the cheapest hotel -I was thinking cheap Travelodge, LOL, it was actually very nice.

And lucky you for having a 9 and a half year old Santa believer! Both my eldest two (nearly 10 and 8 and a half) informed me *last* Christmas that Santa was just Mummies and Daddies but that they'd not tell Daddy they knew. They are very good at keeping it hush hush though so their little sister (5) doesn't find out.

Hi Tinkerbell and welcome to one of the friendliest boards I know. I'm waiting with interest on the Christmas season (particularly November time) this year as I'm seriously thinking of going next year instead of our usual summer trip, at the moment I can't decide and I'm hoping trip reports etc., will help me!
Well done on keeping it secret from your children so far, long may it continue!

Hi & welcome We went for a day during the Christmas season & loved it, although it was very cold it just added to the atmosphere.
