What a fun surprise!! The kids must have been so excited to see the tree/presents when they woke up this morning. Plus now you won't have to do that when you get back!

Sounds like Rachel will have a great birthday! Love those Osborne lights!!

I know you must be crazy with all the things you have to do before leaving Friday so if you need anything give me a call!!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Another great birthday!! Happy Birthday to Rachel!!

And I guess Merry Christmas too!!

I love that you guys put up your tree to surprise the kids with a mini-Disney-Christmas. They must have had so much fun!! And I'm glad to see the hat fit Naomi-Ruth!! I think it looks great!

Your Day 5 plans look great! I'm so jealous about the Osborne Lights!

 

[Native NYer]

Your early Christmas celebration is such a great idea!
Your kids are lucky to have such a creative mom.

What a fun day you have planned for Nov. 23rd! Rachel's going to have an unforgettable 8th birthday.

 

[Hedy]

I love the twin's hoodies!

The Mickey Christmas was awesome! Love all your decorations and seeing the kids opening their presents.

We may run in to ya'll at the MK on the 23rd. We have a 7:50 breakfast at Kona and then we're going to the MK and hitting Toon Town to see the fairies.

 

[Marshay]

I love your Christmas surprises -- complete with a Christmas tree and all the decorations!! Great job!

I must say I really, really like your Day 4 DIS-meet plans!!

If we go to MK on 11/23, I hope we run into you all again! I really want to see the girls' dresses and Nathan as a pirate!

I hope you're feeling better
Your plans look great!

 

[DisMomAmy]

It's getting so close!!!!

Day six looks great!

Hope you are able to get some rest & feel better soon!

 

[jenjolt]

Love your EPCOT plans!!

I'm sure the kids and the grown ups (LOL) will enjoy the KP missions! I intend to do a couple myself during my next trip!

 

[Marshay]

Sorry you all are feeling sick/blah. I've been on "extra" alert for the past 10 days -- extra hat and scarves when we go out, even if they are not needed, extra vitamins, blow dry hair immediately after showers, etc.

I know it may be old wives tales, but I don't want us to get sick before our trip. Last November we all caught some kind of flu and were visiting the doctors for meds 2 days prior!

 

[irish dancer]

Oh no, I hope you're feeling better soon! Drink lots of fluids!!

Gotta love the sleep in days. We did two KP missions last trip and had fun, looking forward to trying some new ones too. We like Biergarten too, the kids have asked if we can go there again in June.

 

[mommytothreeboys]

Wow! It looks like you have been very busy! The Alice in Wonderland party looks fantastic. Your girls are very blessed to have such a creative mommy!

Your plans look wonderful and make me want to tag along!

I absolutely love the Mickey Christmas surprise! How fun to wake up to an unexpected Christmas!

Can't wait to share in this week of "getting ready to go" craziness! Bring it on!

thanks all....still feeling the same, yes resting as much as one can and drinking my fluids, using V-C too Marsha

I am proud of myself to build in just "goal-plan" days and times...figuring T-giving week is one time we must be flexible and willing to go w/ the flow at times....

have less and less on my to-do list...so that is good! Should be a quick week, w/ last minute prep and lots of non Disney stuff going on this week w/ dr appts, Scouts, Orchestra concert and more...we still have a few more Disney countdown celebrations up ahead too...I leave in 4 days how did that happen

 

[mousescrapper]

On Thursday, Nov 25th we’ll celebrate Thanksgiving in Walt Disney World…

Today is our let’s rest and be thankful day!

The only scheduled things for today are breakfast at Chef Mickey’s (9:30 am) and our T-giving Meal at WCC at 4:50 pm

Our afternoon will be spent, hanging out at BLT…the pool, community center and maybe even taking advantage of the amazing AP discount and go mini golfing


The night may include swimming, watching Wishes and or the EWP from the beach


Up NEXT: 4 days till Disney countdown celebration and our Day 8 plans….

Thanks for reading,

J!​

 

[DisMomAmy]

Sounds like a PERFECT way to spend Thanksgiving!!!

 

[Native NYer]

What a great way to spend Thanksgiving!
Friday will be here before you know it.
Hope you're feeling better today

 

[Gabrielsbigtrip]

Stock up on Airborne.....I just did that prior to our trip to Florida for a family wedding. I do think it helped a cold turning into full on bed ridden sick. I think it has super duper amounts of V-C!

OOOOOO, Thanksgiving at the WL We LOVE it there. I just booked us for May in the Villas there. I had a 40% off code and it's Gabriel's 10th b-day
