I'm having a blast posting all my pics to my TR from last week. Reliving it. Have a great time and enjoy all the Christmas decorations.
Oh yeah, be sure to take at least one very warm outfit. We froze our butts off at MVMCP last Tues. night..

WE LEAVE TOMORROW!!!!!!!!

i have a thousand things to do today so i've gotta run. but i will be back later to reply to everyone. i'm so excited!!!

Awwww! And I remember when it (calendar) was just a newborn!

Your weather looks much like ours did - 70s to 50s.

It's gonna be so fun!
You'll get a big huge dose of Disney Christmas magic to carry into your holiday season.

Another bit of trivia that I found to be pretty cool. The entrance to DHS was modeled after the Pan Pacific Auditorium in California, which was used in one of my childhood movies, Xanadu.

thanks for all the well wishes!!!! i don't have time to respond to you each individually, but if you posted something to the effect of "have fun" then just know i really appreciate it. we will try!

And what time am I supposed to be there Wednesday??

um.....3:00-ish??? yep, that sounds good.

And Ray will have what's in the top corner too

very true! he may be a pizza - he likes those too.

Hopefully I will see you one day in the parks.

i will definitely be looking for you!

Punkin don't feel too sad about coming home, you havn't even left yet. A year without WDW isn't all that bad, I just did it and the year has gone by pretty fast.

Do you always order the same thing from Wolfgang Puck? The treat counter looks so good at Goofy's Candy Co!

Do you have a wish list of things you want to shop for?

Maybe you and Ray can capture some pixie dust , for luck.

Luke must be soo excitted each day he takes off another Mickey heads off his callendar.

Are you leaving with Anna & Family at the same time?

no, i don't always get the same thing but i got that last time and it was SO GOOD! so i have to get it again. my wish list would be PAGES and PAGES long. i try to stick to the necessities. we'll see what that ends up being! luke LOVES taking the mickey heads off! anna said it's so cute because every morning he gets up and that's the first thing he does. we're gonna try to leave at the same time but i just depends what time our hubbies get off work.

Thanks for the castle lighting time! We are only in MK two nights..one we have dinner at Ohanas at 5:30 (we are going to try and go early) and the other, Xmas Day, we have dinner at LTT at 6:30 (may try to be 10m. late) I didn't even think about the lighting when I made my plans!!

just FYI - i've been told that they hold your ressie for 20 minutes after your ADR time.

Hey Dawn! Sorry that I disappeared for a while, but I'm back and psyched to see that you already have another pre-trip in the works. Well it's done now... I can't believe you guys leave so soon! You and Ray are going to have such a great time, and I'm so glad to see that Anna, Chris and Luke are going too. Going to Disney is great, but it's even better when you get to go with friends and family, and I remember how disappointing it was when they couldn't go on your last trip. Luke is such a cutie, I'm sure it'll be fun just getting to see his reactions to everything I hope you all have an amazing time!

good to "see" you! thanks so much for joining in!

Dawn I'm so excited for you, YOU LEAVE TOMORROW. Is Luke getting excited too? I can't wait to hear all about it. Have a safe trip and have lots of fun and take lots and lots of pictures, especially with Belle in her Christmas dress

yes, luke is getting excited. anna said he took the mickey head off today and held up his little finger and said, "just one more day and disney world here we come!!!!"

Hey Dawn please link me to your TR when you get back, I have not had time to catch up on all the PTRs but in January hopefully can at least read the TRs!!

no worries - i will post a link here when i start my TR!

I'm having a blast posting all my pics to my TR from last week. Reliving it. Have a great time and enjoy all the Christmas decorations.
Oh yeah, be sure to take at least one very warm outfit. We froze our butts off at MVMCP last Tues. night..
