Home for the Holidays: A December 2012 TR

[Disneydude97]

Don'tcha just love Christmas?

The Time of Joy...

The Season of Giving...

The Hour of Waking Up at 2:00 A.M. to Beat the Crowds on Black Friday.

But there are some folk who like to take a break from all the holly and ivy and take a little trip down to Florida to see how Disney does Christmas.

I am one of those people.

Welcome, one and all, to my first ever TR:

"Home for the Holidays"
A December 2012 Trip Report

Again, I just love every single aspect of Disney. I also classify myself as a frump. What's a frump, you ask? Well...

FIRST of all, the most important question of the day: "What is a Frump?"
I'm sure you've all heard the word "frump" used, but not commonly. Well, that's about to change... because frump is our favorite word!
A frump is basically a lazy person. Like, for instance, on a day when you wear baggy sweatpants and a big tee-shirt, you may say: "I look like a frump today."
Frump has many definitions, though. It can also be talking about a crazy person (such as someone who gets a little too excited over Schoolbread or Muppet Vision&... aka Kristen).
It can be someone who is overly sleep-deprived and laughs at anything.
Or there are always random people in crowds that you just find "frumpy". Its a self explanatory kind of thing.
We started with this whole Frump thing (on disboards, anyway) back in January, so we're continuing on the tradition for this trip!

The deer face is a very frumpy aspect of our friendship. This face is used for SO many things most commonly excitement. ESPECIALLY about food.



The face originated because, since we are so unathletic, Kristen would do this frumpy run and I would say "you run like a deer". Then she would make a face similar to this:



and it reminded me of a deer in headlights.

So, hence, the deer face! It has been a standing joke for over a year now... and I don't think it's going anywhere.

​

Originally written by Disneyfreak508 (aka Jess) for her trip report "There's NO Sleeping in Disney!" SURPRISE - The Frumps Are Back Again!

In fact, the sole reason I joined the DISboards was because of the frumps.

Anyways, here's the Five Ws of this trip:

WHO: You just saw it.
WHAT: A seven-day, six-night trip to Walt Disney World!
WHEN: December 4th-11th, 2012.
WHERE: Disney's Port Orleans: French Quarter
WHY: Cause we love Disney!

I know I started this early, because as of today (December 2nd, 2012), it's 2 days till the trip, but I like to start early. I'll post the prologue tomorrow. See ya soon!
