It's Going To Be A Jolly Olly Holiday In Disney PTR I've got one foot out the door!!

[Tippy 6]

If it's not the tags you are waiting for what is it? The reason I ask is that we will be in Disney 11/28-12/6 but have only got 1 mailing from them with the tags. Is there anything else I should get?

 

[dreamer423]

Getting al caught up.

First i have to say that I the pictures in the pumpkin patch. Not the least of which are your handsome boys. But the fall colors are so wonderful.

oh and I don't think except for Charlie Brown have I ever seen a real pumpkin patch where the pumpkins are still attached to the vines and surrounded by all the fall foliage. So thanks for a beautiful sight!

day 4 and 5 sounds great. Love the view and the food from Cali grill. And yes, a pair of heels and a shower do amazing things for the soul!

I love b'fast @ 1900 PArk! it's worth it for the strawberry soup alone

I will say that personally-if I went back to the resort for a break-i'd have a hard time leaving in just 1 hour! even though it is Disney!

I love all the resort hopping and just plain atmosphere soaking time you've put in.

Can't wait to read more.

You still haven't gotten your package with 22 days left? That seems weird. I think I'd be calling and trying to find out when it was sent.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Wow you STILL didn't get your Mickey Mail? I got mine on Thursday last week. (I still haven't updated my ptr...shame on me). I hope you get yours today and you won't have to call and get it re-sent. That's just nuts! Stupid USPS!!

NOPE!!!! They said if I don't have it by Friday to call again and ask to have it resent??

After the ME tags, the vouchers for the arcade and such come out and also luggage tags and final confirmations. I guess if it doesn't come and I have to get it at check in, it isn't a big deal, but my OCD is making me really want it now!!!

Awww! Thanks! The pumpkin patch is a fun tradition! We figure it won't be long that the kids will no longer have an interest, so we take advantage now!

Sometimes a girl has got to just feel like a GIRL!!!

Never tried the strawberry soup...love strawberries but not sure about in soup form??!! I was even allergic to strawberries as a child. I used to break out in hives every time I ate them, but ate them anyway...even snuck them when my mom wouldn't let me! Anyway, I think from continuing to eat them through the allergy, I worked my way through it because I no longer have reactions! LOL

I actually think on our two HS days we are going to eliminate break time. Talked to DH about it and he agreed to nixing them so we could get all the shows in.

Yeah...I really want to be sure to see all the resort decorations. When we were there in 06 for Christmas we didn't do much exploring, so I want to for sure this time.

I called on Sunday...they said it should be here this week sometime...and if it isn't, call on Friday and ask to have it resent. I know I don't HAVE to have it for check in, but I WANT it!!!! LOL The anxiety and OCD is too overwhelming!!!!

You stink!!!!! I am sooooo frustrated! I don't seem to get any real answers when I call. I am calling as we speak while I am thinking about it to try yet again!!! Well, I guess we aren't actually speaking but you get the idea!!!! Oh and guess what...the system is down!!! Go figure! Side note...had a bad day so the little things are pissing me off more than normal!!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

OK....It has been quite awhile since I have done an actual trip update with our itinerary. So, I am going to get this up here while I have the chance! I want to get all these days done and up here because there are some other things I want to get in and the days are dwindling!!! (That is not meant to sound like a negative thing!!)

Before I tell you all day 7's plans...just want to officially announce:

3 WEEKS!!!!!!

Now that I have that out of my system, here is day 7:

We will be up early this morning to get to our pre-park opening breakfast at Crystal Palace. I am excited about this one to get some pictures in front of the castle with an empty park (or almost empty)! Plus, we have been here for lunch and dinner and loved it. We have never been for breakfast, but the reviews are great, so my expectations are high!

After the early breakfast, we will spend a few hours in MK. We are not going to stay too long (maybe 3 hours). The only reason for the short stay...we will be back!

We have a lunch reservation at T-Rex. So, we will be heading over there after leaving MK. We are really only doing this because the little guy loves dinosaurs and wants to go. I actually think we will just share some apps. He may get corn dogs though...loves his corn dogs! (YUCK!)

Anyway, after a quick bite with the dinosaurs, it's back to AKL for a nice break. We will stay back at the resort for about 3 hours or so. We may explore. We may sleep. We may swim. Whatever we want!

After the rest...it's off to the MK for the MVMCP!!! I was not going to do this (ahem, Jen!) But, we are because I can't NOT do the dessert party! But, I am getting excited for it now that I am seeing pix and videos of the party. We have gone before, but it's a new year and that excites me!! So, we will try to get in a few rides before the dessert party. Then, head to that most lovely sugar-filled event!

After we fill our bellies with goodness and our mouths with cavities, we will head out to do all the party events...I want to watch the castle show, parade and do the dance party. We did the dance party last time and it was a blast! If we can fit it, we will try to do Belle's storytime and the new show. If not, it's ok. I am also going to REALLY try to get some character in holiday wear photos. We'll see how this works out as I don't want to spend a ton of time standing in lines!

Anyway, that's day 7! It is an early day and a late night...but has a nice break! So, watcha think?

 

[Trentmom]

Hope Logan feels better soon


Day 7 sounds great

Plenty of breaks and lot of fun things.

Dessert party sounds great

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

The itinerary sounds great. I can't wait to hear all about the dessert party, it takes place in our favourite Wishes viewing spot, just watch out for rats!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

sounds like a good day 7!!!!

I'll be interested to see how the new show is. The old one on the stage by Buzz/COP was a wonderful show. I have a feeling this one will be just eh compared to the old one!! I might check it out depending on how long it is!

28 days for me!!

 

[creativeamanda]

I love your day 7! I am kind of concerned about that new show. I was so looking forward to the Night Before Christmas. . .now I just don't know. . .

 

[raider97]

Sorry you still haven't gotten your Mickey Mail.

Your Day 7 looks great. Yep, you are up early and staying late, but I think your break in the middle is sufficient enough to make it doable!! I am so excited about T-Rex. My little guy is very into dinosaurs right now, we went to see Walking with the Dinosaurs recently (it is great by the way if it is coming near you I would suggest it) and we have T-Rex planned while we are in Disney too!

Thanks!!!

I feel like this is our busiest day...even with that long break. I think it is because I know it is the last time we will be going to MK and I want to get in as much party type stuff as possible.

I am a dessert junky!!! So, I will be in my glory! This is a highlight of the trip for me! LOL

The itinerary sounds great. I can't wait to hear all about the dessert party, it takes place in our favourite Wishes viewing spot, just watch out for rats!

I have never watched Wishes from there. I am really going for the food more than the viewing location...most I think go for the location...not me!!! Fill me up with that sweet goodness! LOL Uhhhhhhh RATS???!!! Never saw one in Disney! I know they can be anywhere, but they are so clean there I just figured...Rats are not very magical are they??

sounds like a good day 7!!!!

Thanks! Last time we went to the paarty we didn't see the old show. But, I heard it was very good. I am not expecting much for this new one so that's why it isn't a must do for the party. I definitely want to do the castle stage show and the parade though.

Yay for 28 days!!! 4 weeks is awesome...it goes so fast, right??!!

I love your day 7! I am kind of concerned about that new show. I was so looking forward to the Night Before Christmas. . .now I just don't know. . .

Thanks!!! I am not anticipating it to be wonderful...if we see it, we see it...if not, oh well.

Yeah...I'm hoping to get it today...no mail yesterday because it was Veteran's Day, but today is another day! Thanks! I am hoping that nap / rest time gets us through! I am excited to see the inside of T-Rex... looks neat!
