Hip Hip Hooray for Christmas Vacation... Disney Style!!! A Dec 2010 PTR

[photographymom517]

Hey all just thought I drop by and say Hi!!! Work is dragging so I have a few minutes to kill.... So I decided today while walking on my lunch break that I deserve a gift for all the hard work I do. So... I ordered myself the Dooney and Bourke Disney Sketch wristlet today!!!

Personally I think it is well deserved... I'm calling it an early graduating gift to myself to justify it! I just finished up a class and am happy to report that I got a 99.9 as my final grade! Only one more class to go! These next 8 weeks can not go fast enough!

Well, that's about all I got for now! Just thought I share the news!

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone!

Congrats on the Dooney wristlet!!!

All of the bags & wristlets were sold out on the website a few days ago, but they are back on again. I'm glad...I was starting to worry they would all be sold out by December! LOL

You DEFINITELY deserve that present for yourself!!! I went through a 4-year program while working & raising a child, so I completely relate!!! I know Master's programs are waaaay tougher, so I can't imagine how you do it all!

CONGRATS on the 99.9...that is amazing!!! You definitely deserved to buy yourself a gift.

Also, I just realized that I never told you my name...its Hope so you can call me that! LOL

Woo Hoo!!! What dates are you there? You are at AKL too? So excited!

We'll be there December 5-11 (or 12 depending on dining). We're going the POP route this time but stayed at AKL last September for my b-day! All I can say is WOW!!! it is such an amazing experience. the boys are going to have a blast!!!

I've been to Disney around Christmas, but never stayed at Wilderness Lodge. When I moved from Florida to Louisiana in 2007, I actually left in December, so I got to see all the decorations. Then, I brought my family for a December trip in 2008, which was a LOT of fun. We stayed at Port Orleans: Riverside. I wasn't in Florida in December of 2009, BUT I did come in late October/early November and actually got to see the Christmas parade. I'd gone to MNSSHP a week or a week and a half before so I got to see both Halloween AND a little Christmas before I left So... I guess I've had a little taste of the holidays at Disney every year since I moved... wow, I never thought about it before, haha!

Christmas is Disney is just AWESOME... And I know you will NOT be disappointed in staying at WL over the holidays! All I can say is WOW!!! We were in Disney in Dec in 2008 too! We stayed at Coronado Springs! MNSSHP is so awesome. We got to go to that twice so far. I totally prefer this event over MVMCP! Can't wait for December to get here!

Hi Hope!!! Thanks so much! It has definitely been a challenge going to grad school, but I know all the work will be worth it in the end! Only 8 weeks to go! My last class is a capstone class, so I am figuring it is mostly going to just be an overview off everything that we have learnt in the program so far! At least that is my hope! We'll see, come June 27th I will be done!

About the wristlets, I have to tell you, I was so surprised that they were still available online when I ordered it the other day! I thought they would be gone for sure! Look at it this way, if these designs are sold out, you most likely will have the opportunity to buy the new designs! That's what I am hoping for... A girl can never have a enough purses!!

We'll be there December 5-11 (or 12 depending on dining). We're going the POP route this time but stayed at AKL last September for my b-day! All I can say is WOW!!! it is such an amazing experience. the boys are going to have a blast!!!

It's so funny our resorts are the exact opposite of each other from year to year... We stayed at POP last September and we are staying at AKL this Dec for my birthday!

Hey everyone!!! I know I been gone for a few weeks, but I back!!! Life sort of really got in the way of my Disney addiction, but on the bright side, I feel like time is flying!

Work has been super hectic over the last few weeks and Devon's communion party turned our great!!! This past weekend Devon was in my cousin's wedding in upstate PA, so we just got home from that! Of course I get sick on Sunday on the car ride home Yep, strep throat!! Getting Dev ready for school yesterday and he says he don't feel well... He was burning with fever too!!! Guess us city living folk can't handle the clean mountain air!!

Anyway, just wanted to drop in and say hi! I'll post pics from the communion and wedding soon!

Oh yeeah!!! I saw Toni posted the Dec park hours! I am so happy to say that my plans will be staying the same!

 

[Tinkermom76]

My plans are all staying the same too!!!

Very nice pictures

I love the white suit, the boys at Eryka's Communion wore black ones but I think the white one looks much better

I think we had the same mints and out cakes were similar

BTW I LOVE your dress!!!

Thanks Girl!!! Yes, I think that all boys making their communion should wear white on their communion. And the dress, I found it a year ago at Anne Taylor!
