Awesome pics! I am so jealous you are already planning another trip! I am waiting till DS turns 5... in 2013!

 

[Tinker_Tam]

Wow! Another new ticker! At least you always have something to look forward too. I am not sure what I am going to do once this trip is over in Dec. I know we won't be back for a very, very, very long time.

No fair. You just got back, you will be going again before I do, and now you are going again next year.

The dates are not set in stone yet, but as of now they are the dates we have on hold! We have till 9/14 to make our deposit. Very excited!

I'm sorry, I was seriously not planning on going next year, my family was suppose to do a cruise in June, but after seeing my pictures from the August trip, they want to go to Disney!!! I was sure not going to argue with that, not to mention is was cheaper then the cruise we were going to take!!! Oh, and get this... My cousin's wife, has never been to Disney before!!! I am so stoked to show are around!!!

Ha, I was only kidding. That's great that you get to go back. I think our next Disney excursion will either be a Disney Cruise, or a trip to DisneyLand. Not for a few years though. Next year we may just take a trip up North to some New England states.

I LOVE Spectro too. I have seen youtube videos of the electrical parade, and I thought the music was awful. I want Spectro back!

My mom wants to go to NE too!! I been to Boston and Loved it!

ME TOO!!! I will be so vey happy of Spectro is back when we go in Dec... But the way things are now I'm not counting on it!

Great updates Reese!!! Loved all of your pictures of the MSEP and the fireworks! I saw them in June but we stood right in the hub of Main St to watch the parade & in the middle of Main St by the Emporium to see the fireworks (oops, gave away part of my TR! oh well...lol). It was nice to see a different perspective! I will have to stand by Cinderella's Castle next time, its a great view!

(oh, I thought it was funny ChildatHeart82 mentioned the guy in the red hat...when I was looking at your pictures, I kept thinking "hey, Mr. MOVE! lol) I actually was trying to take a picture of the statue of Mickey & Walt a million times & a guy with an orange hat wouldn't get out of the way!

Loved the pictures of All Star Sports! You know, I was thinking about POP but now that I see pictures of that resort, I'm considering it as well. My son just recently (over the summer) started really getting into soccer, baseball, and football. He seems to love all sports, so he might really love the resort! What did you think about the food there? I'll have to do some research & keep looking at your pictures to get more info!

Stitch's dance party looked really neat...I wonder if it was there when we were?? I can't believe you got to see Tiana & Prince Naveen!!! How exciting! I absolutely loved that movie (my son did too but only because of the frogs...lol) I would've loved to see her, but I didn't even know she was still there so I didn't look for her! Now I'm mad at myself! When we saw Aladdin and Jasmine at Epcot, the line was CRAAAZY so we didn't get to see them. I think I might have taken a picture walking by. Your picture with them was super cute!!! Love the one of you & Devon!

I love EMH in the summers too!!! They are great!!! It makes it easier to take breaks half-way through the day. I loved the picture of Devon sleeping! How adorable! Those pictures are always my favorites...I think I have like five billion of my son sleeping in his carseat on my cell! lol

I have never seen Wishes but I did buy the CD on our trip. I hope I get to see it someday & I hope its there in December so whenever I read your report, I can see pics of it!

Can't wait for another update & to hear about T-Rex!!!

Another great addition to your report, Reese! I love the pictures!

My ticker is at the 2 month point too!!

Congrats on the new ticker addition! That is just so cool!

At the rate you are going, you will be done with your cruise and DisneyLand trip by next Christmas.

I LOVE Spectro too. I have seen youtube videos of the electrical parade, and I thought the music was awful. I want Spectro back!

I have watched the MSEP on youtube and don't like the music. I think the floats are great, but that music is going to drive me nuts. We saw Spectro twice in 2007, I don't think we will watch MSEP twice.

YES, the floats are great... Music BORING!!!

 

[Daddy_of_Princesses]

YES, the floats are great... Music BORING!!!

Lucky for me I will only be able to see it once. The next full day at MK is also our MVMCP day. Then a full day at EPCOT, and back to MK for the day we are leaving, so that means only one opportunity to watch the parade.

 

[DevonsDisneyMom]

^^^ honestly, I don't care if I see MSEP at all in Dec... As long as I see Wishes and the Parade and Holiday Wishes @ MVMCP I will be more then happy!!!

 

[Tinkermom76]

I only have planned to see MSEP once but I want to videotape it so if they bring Spectro back I will hve it

Hi All Happy Labor Day!!! Man oh man how I wish that EVERY weekend was a 3 day weekend!!! Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday so far... I know I am!

Anyway... I figured I give you all a quick update on our December trip. Saturday was my lazy day this weekend... With working such crazy hours with election day fast approaching (I work in political advertising) I really needed a day to just lay around and Saturday was that day!! So pretty much I laid on the couch all day watching college football and surfing the web!!!

While laying there, I decided to check AirTran's website (that is who we are flying with in Dec) just for s#*ts and giggles... Well is doing so I came to find one that my flight times have changed both going and coming!!!

Nothing too crazy, but now we do not leave PHL on 12/3 till 8:35am when we were suppose to takeoff at 8:20am!!! Thats 15 mins less time in Disney on arrival day!!! We now arrive @ MCO at 11:12am... Not too bad, but I was really hoping to be checking into AKL by noon. Who knows, it might still happen, but I won't hold my breath!

Now coming home on 12/11 our flight was suppose to leave MCO at 6:21pm, now it is leaving at 6:22pm... Really? 1 minute?!??!?

Well that's all I have for now. Hopefully the flight times stay the same between now and December. I will be checking periodically between now and then that is for sure!!!

Also, I am hoping to get day 2 started from the August trip sometime this week... Devon is heading back to school this week so that comes first!!!

Have a great day all!!!

Sounds like a great night at the MK! Awesome you got to meet Tiana and Naveen too. It seems like everyone has a great interaction with them. So much fun.

I sort of agree about the Spectromagic music being better but I really enjoyed seeing the MSEP since it's a classic.

LOL at red hat man in your pictures.

Happy Labor Day!

I got worried for you a little bit when I read your flight times had changed but then got to the part where they had only changed a little bit. Good thing! In my experience, any change of 15 minutes or less is usually a wash. As long as everything stays on schedule that's something that could easily be made up in the air. They usually schedule arrival times a little conservatively so you could still show up when you were originally scheduled to. I hope you make it to AKL when you want to!

In my book, it's only worth seeing 1x!

Yeah 15 minutes isn't bad at all... PHL has been having serious issues with flights leaving on time b/c of construction... I hope with a semi early flight we won't run into any issues!

Our December flight time changed too! We arrive 2 minutes earlier in Orlando, but we're departing at the same time!!
