Hoping the Rain Stays Away-We're Going Back in May-TR started

[MaryAz]

Mary, your Christmas card is absolutely beautiful! It brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful way to honor your Mom. It's a perfect combination of tribute to the great woman she obviously was, and fun. I will be thinking, and praying for you and your family this Christmas season for sure.

As for the Grand Gathering - that is GRAND news! Does the Grand Gathering give you a great discount on the rooms? What all does it offer?

Thanks so much Brook, I wanted a tribute but also cute pics of the kids. Thanks for the prayers. The GG allows us to book some special events like the Safri Celebration dinner and others. No discount that I know of. Leanne had a pin and book an additional room for us. Which is totally legit-when I called to cancel my exsisting ressie the lady was like "she could have just added this ressie to hers and used the pin"

 

[MaryAz]

YAY!!! I can't wait! I'm super excited about the Safari Celebration Dinner.

I know, I am keeping that and BBB a surprise for the girls.

Isn't it GRAND

Thanks to my Dis BFF we are now a part of a GG. We have a new ressie which was booked using a pin code she recieved. We now can offically "afford" to go. I am so blessed and lucky to have met such a great friend. Look out Poly HERE WE COME!!!

yay! That is awesome! I want to stay there so bad, but it's not DVC . Maybe I'll get a pin code one day to go.

 

[that's nice]

Congrats on the GG and staying at the Poly!!! One day I hope to stay there. My DW has been talking about doing a short trip next December... Maybe we could stay at the Poly?

We made it through Christmas. It was a little hectic with all the family. 5 kiddos under 5.5 and 10 other family members. Some children were whinier-is that a word? than others. The whole "experience" has prompted him to agree to a WDW Christmas trip next Dec!!! I also plan to take the girls next spring for Avery's bday. So we will be upgrading our tickets to AP'a in May. Now all I have to do is get our old house on the market and sold so we can buy DVC!!
We leave to go back to Phx tomorrow. The girls will be staying until thurs with G'Pa and G'Ma. Yay for sleeping in!! Will check in with everyones reports tomorrow pm.

Disney at Christmas sounds wonderful. I"m hoping Mom and Dad pick a date at least when everything is decorated so I can take a peek. Are you thinking of going on Christmas or before? Just curious...I can't wait to hear about Randy's trip on Megan's report so I can get his take on the crowds etc. Have a safe trip back home!
