Do you know what I am most excited about seeing on your plans, Dawn? That you are all planning on eating a Kitchen Sink! I am super excited about that one! It doesn't take much to amuse me.

You just rent the stroller when you get there -- I don't think you can even reserve it if you wanted to -- I am trying to remember if you can do a length-of-stay kind of thing though -- I will see what I can find out. It's been awhile since we did a stroller (2004).

Wow that was a big price jump since I rented a stroller (2004 for me too). I think for my double stroller it was $10 a day and they gave you $1 back in Disney dollars when you returned it and no credit card deposit either.

The condo sounds and looks great! We are staying offsite for the first time in December on our girls trip - coulnd't beat the price for the space! I'm curious to see how it feels to stay offsite - our townhouse is decorated with a Disney theme also and even has a private splash pool.

Your plans sound great - you'll get to see all the fabulous Christmas decorations in the resorts and parks!

 

[Happy Elf]

Your plans sound great!

 

[End_User-X]

What, no meal at HoB that you missed last time?

 

[xoktenox]

Wow your plan sounds really good! It's smart of you to not be expecting to do EVERYTHING at each park in just a day. (Although you've been to WDW a few times already so you do know that haha ) It will just make you all more happy especially when having a little child with you. Have I told you how envious I am that you are going during the Christmas season?

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

The plans look great! Especially the part where yall eat the KITCHEN SINK!

Yummmmmm!

 

[Spartangirl]

Wow, I'm late to this report, but I'm in! I can't wait to hear what you think about Disney at Christmas time. It's so beautiful at that time and it sounds like you're ready to take it all in!!! Your plans look great!

 

[KristinAnne]

Plans look so fun! I wish I could get one extra day in for our trip, but I can't swing 3 days out of school. No Park Hopper to save on money. We could only do MK during the MCMVP, but I think we'll end up skipping AK instead simply because the others have more "Christmasy" things. I seem to be forgetting that our trip is over a year away! I am planning like it's this December!

 

[teruterubouzu]

That condo looks beautiful! The space will certainly be nice.

Your itinerary sounds like such fun! I'm looking forward to reading your review of MVMCP. Am I the only one who wants to call it Mickey's Not So Scary Christmas Party?

 

[LISAMWDW]

I'm in! I'll have to come back and catch up!

 

[ArielSRL]

Plans sound good. I was at WDW in December last year, so if I ever finish my TR you can see the photos. I'm a horrible TR writier cuz I never have any time so it will be a miracle if I finish it before your trip but keep your fingers crossed for me. Anyway, Christmas time is great. It is probably my most favorite time to go. I've been many, many times at Christmas.

BTW, are you going to the Vandy game? I will be there.

 

[Philadisney]

Oh wow, how wonderful that you get to go back so soon! I haven't even thought about when we'll be returning to WDW next I can't wait to vicariously go to WDW for Christmas through you!

 

[Hillary12.8.07]

glad you thought our picture was amusing because i do too! oh, and have you seen "step-brothers"? HILARIOUS! raunchy but really funny. DON'T TOUCH MY DRUM SET!!!! i'm glad i found the condo - i will let you know how it goes!

by the way, i saw you guys stayed at FW in your signature pic. how was it? ray and i are thinking of selling our 1997 volkswagon cabrio and buying a pop-up camper with the money. we kept the cabrio because it's a convertible and it was paid for - fun car to have in nice weather. but we've driven it once in 12 months. DH would definitely rather have a camper. and we both agree if we get one that we'll be taking the doggies down to FW sometime soon!

Oh yes, we saw it this summer. Pretty gross, but Will Ferrell is the man. SO funny.

Ft. Wilderness is awesome!! DH and I plan on buying a camper sometime in the future too...either a popup or another small camper. Its such a great thing to do together, esp w/your pets!! They'd love it there! They have a new dog run there too, very cool!

 

[disneywifey]

Hi! I'm along for the ride! I'm so excited that you get to go for Christmas! My DH and i are kind of at the same point that you seem to be, planning for a child. Our Jan 09 trip may be our "starting" point to a future with kids! It's kind of scary but it's so neat to think about! Congratulations on trip #3! i can't wait to hear more plans!

 

[Camster0307]

I'm here - better late than never! Woot Woot for ANOTHER punkin TR!

Olan Mills photos -
Staying off property - (although that place does look gorgeous! Will be interested to hear how you like it!)

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

Don't you love when you can do all the planning !! Anna and family are in great hands. I get to do it all myself too. Ofcourse I welcome anyones input aswell.
I the Disney Christmas Parade on T.V..I only found out last year that it wasn't taped on Christmas... I know how dumb could I be.
The condo looks fabulous. So beautifully decorated. I love the theme. I'm sure you will get a tree, after all it is Christmas. I was looking at condos myself after a co worker rented one with a private pool. It was gorgeous, but I am on the fence. The price is great but I would miss the feeling I get from staying on property. I actually like the busses and the EMH. I will be anxious to hear about your experience.
Your plans sound good. I can't wait to see pics.
Its so funny, but I also havn't rented a stroller since 2004 either. Theres several of us here with the same answer. It sure has jumped in price since then. It was useful to have, I do recomend getting one. Be careful, someone did take ours and we had to have it replaced. The CM was quick to get us another one.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

my BIL also told me the nice thing about the stroller is that if you want to ride the train, yo ujust pick up aonther one where you get off at...or is someone takes yours, then you just go and show your reciept and ge another one.

 

[hlrababy]

Ooooh, Dawn I keep coming and looking at the "Olan Mills" pics and I just crack up!! I love it!
