It was a pajama theme this year and we all went in our "ONESIE'S"
:cool1:

And you can see Ben there in the back in his blue jammies to compare to the
TOT photo and you'll know what I mean!!

Have a good night everyone!

Day 4 coming up!

Your family is beautiful. What a great idea to be nice and comfy on Christmas Eve. We are always at a family Christmas party so that wouldn't work for us but maybe one day. :rolleyes: The picture of your family in front of the Osborne lights screams next year's Christmas card. Magical!

Thanks Grumpy's Wife!! The funny thing is, is that we did go out to a family Christmas party like this!! :rotfl2:
They wanted a pajama theme!! We even went to Church on Christmas eve with our fuzzy legs!!
:lmao:
Although, I did put a pair of sweatpants over top!!
And I tried to "fancy" it up a bit with the scarf!! :laughing:

I thought the same thing for a Christmas card too!! It would be nice except that we're missing 2 sons and a daughter in law in it!
Maybe the jammie photo will be next years Christmas Card!

DH and I went on a cruise after this trip on Jan 1st and through the cruise site I met some other Disney Fanatics who gave me lots of advice about this trip and guided me to this site as well as some other sites. :yay:
Debbie

Hi Vicky!!!

Yes!!! You are right!! :thumbsup2 That would be you!! :cheer2:

We are so glad we took your advice to keep Monday (Day 1 more simple... and to have a sleep in morning to do DTD!!)

That's where I've left off on the TR, but just back to work today after being away for 6 months so between full time job and my home salon business, I need to find some more time for posting TR!!

I'll be updating more soon!

Welcome!

Debbie
 
Hi back!!
I hope I don't bore you!! My photos aren't as good as yours either!! lol
But thanks for stopping by! :)
Debbie

Bore me...good lord, I was almost sick with your whole experience in Toronto:sick: Why is it the CO have to be so rude...I just don't get it! You give some people a little power and it goes straight to their head:rolleyes1:rolleyes1

I have to tell you, now that I've seen your picture, I feel like I've seen you, have met you.....it's weird, but I feel like I know you.....

That's funny that you say that because when I saw your photo when I first came across your TR that's what I thought and why I asked what area of the city you lived in! I was thinking maybe we saw each other at the library or superstore! My kids always bug me because I'll
just strike up a conversation with anyone while waiting in a line etc.. lol

It really is a small world!! Maybe we've seen each other at Polo park or somewhere!?

Hi Debbie! I followed you over from Queen's TR! I am loving your TR so far! I am so sorry you had to go through the luggage mess in TO!! That would have been just nerveracking to go through. I am so glad that it all worked out in the end. Hopefully the 24 hour bug has left you family for good on this trip!! Can't wait to read more!

Hi Tiff!
Glad to have another Winterpegger on board!! :thumbsup2
It sure is nice out today! We've even got some windows open at home!
My son and DIL drove to Fargo this morning and caught a plane to Denver and tomorrow morning they are off to Jamaica for the week for their honeymoon!!!
I wish I was going with them!!
:sad1:
I've really got to find some more time to get another update posted!

Debbie
 
Hi Debbie,
Loving your TR! I can't believe the bad luck you guys had the first couple of days with losing you luggage and the sickness and all. Hope everything gets better and no one else gets sick. Can't wait to hear more about your trip! We were supposed to be there from Dec. 29th - Jan. 5th but DH ended up going to the ER the night before we were to leave and didn't get out in time to make our flight. We would have had to go through customs in Toronto and that always scares me.

Welcome Mickey Lover!!

How dare your DH go to emergency and force you to miss your flights!! :lmao:
JK!! I hope it wasn't too serious and that you can make it back again soon!

I hate going through customs! I always feel guilty like I've done something wrong! I wish they didn't make you feel that way!!

I'm going to try to get an update going in the next couple of days. I didn't realize how long it actually takes to put it together with photo bucket being so slow and finicky sometimes!!

Subscribing to a fellow Canuks trip report.

WELCOME!!! The more the merrier!!!! :cool1:

Did any of my Winnipeg Dis friends go to the "Heart" concert last night!!!???

It was awesome!!! We even lucked out and got Box Seats!! :woohoo:

Finally it's Friday.... I'll try to get the next update going for Day 4!!! :banana:

Day 4 is our shopping day to DTD and back to MK for the evening!!

Debbie
 
Well, Day 4 (Thursday December 30th) Here we come!!


Today we decided (on the advice of an fellow disboarder - Vegas Vick!!!)
that we would sleep in!!!! :banana:

It had been a really hectic and busy first 2 days in disney, not to mention our crazy 1st day getting there!! :scared1:

So we went to bed without setting any alarm clocks and woke up to the "body"
clocks!! :woohoo:

I think it's important to at least relax a little while on vacation!! But, since I've been home I have been telling friends that Disney is not a vacation, rather it is a bit of work!! :eek: especially, if you have limited time and want to see the most that you can in the time that you have!!

So..... we slept in all the way to the respectable time of::: 8:30 AM! :dance3:

Hey, it felt like sleeping in after 2 days of 5:30 am wake up calls!! and my first day where I never really slept at all!! :yay:

.... we leisurely, got ourselves together and headed out for Downtown
Disney to do some shopping!! :hippie:

IMG_1196.jpg


First some serious shopping at the Disney Christmas Store. I bought a bunch of Christmas tree ornaments and didn't even think to take photos of them before I stored them when I got home... so you'll have to wait for photos til next Christmas when I put them on the tree!! :laughing:
I found my son and new DIL and really nice tree ornament for first X-mas which was a big engagement ring with Minnie and Mickey sitting in it like a swing and a big diamond on top that I had engraved for 2010.


DTD was the best place for Chloe! This is what she wanted to do! SHOP!!

It was such a lovely day... finally the temperatures were warming up !
It went up to about 23 C that day and we could finally wear shorts in Florida!!

This was another store that Chloe loved and I enjoyed it as well! The art is amazing and we both purchased posters to take home!
DisneyWorld2010150.jpg


It did get a little frustrating, OK.... a lot frustrating when she just wanted to spend the time looking at the computer screen for prints!! Just look through the store... you can look on a computer at home!!!! :eek:

DisneyWorld2010153.jpg


Chloe bought the poster in the second row second from the left of the disney princesesss!! It looks awesome in her apt.

I know... I know... we are just not that exciting right now!! we're shopping afterall... what do you expect! :upsidedow

so for interest sake.... I'll insert a photo from eldest son's wedding here: That's Chloe and Jamie in the front with the driver!
You Can't see bride and groom.
JessesWeddingDay165.jpg


Oh, there's the happy couple!! Jesse and Jessalind!! (Yes.. that's right.. not a typo!!)

jesse12.jpg


I'll continue on with our day in the next post!
 
I love shopping at DTD....I especially love the art shop....oh to be able to afford everything I love in there:cloud9:

Great wedding pics!
 
And yet again, I'm impressed at how much you were able to do at DHS.

So..... we slept in all the way to the respectable time of::: 8:30 AM! :dance3:

Hey, it felt like sleeping in after 2 days of 5:30 am wake up calls!! and my first day where I never really slept at all!! :yay:

Only on a Disney vacation would 8:30 be considered sleeping in. :laughing: There's just so much to do!

The Art of Disney store is awesome. I always want all the artwork they have.
