Absolutely loop over the Mikey lights!! Definitely a unique idea. I may have to steal the idea

Hope you've had a very merry Christmas ! !!!

Wanted to stop in and say Merry Christmas!!

Aw, love all the Dumbo pictures.

And seeing your train pictures reminds me that we haven't been on that in the past several trips. We will definitely have to go on that next time we are there!

I hope you had a Merry Christmas, and wish you the best in 2015!

Great update, and two of my favorites with the Train and Dumbo! I always love the classic, traditional Disney rides, and have to try and do them all every trip or two.

That Mark does love him some Dumbo, and apparently just plain elephants! Glad that giraffe didn't spit on you, but it looks like the one to your left would be drooling on you if you moved a few steps over!

Hope you and Mark had a wonderful Christmas, and you have safe travels and a great time this weekend!!!

Hi Kathy! Hope you had a Merry Christmas! I wasn't on the DIS much in the past couple of weeks, but I'm caught up here! Your snacks at F&W are interesting - I'm glad you enjoyed most of them. I think it would be nice if you could purchase a bracelet for "all you care to eat." so you could try everything. (Although maybe that would be dangerous too )

MK EMH is the way to go! You can get so much done when you're there early! I love the pics of Mark on Dumbo! Your PP pics are really cute in front of the Castle, too! I love the pic of the train coming with the steam - great job catching that one!

I hope you had a Merry Christmas as well, Kathy!

I'm glad that Mark got some quality time with his favorite flying elephant. Always love making a loop around the MK on the train. Somehow that didn't happen on our trip.

Kathy, I'm pretty sure it's you being paged on my thread. STAT!

Well, I think it's you... I didn't cheat or anything and highlight any names or anything....

 

[WDWaddictt]

Sorry Kathy I have been MIA on the Dis lately. I have been super busy work many hours, going back to school, kids in sports and Christmas. I took a me day today and have caught up on your TR.

Sorry about your daughter in law. That is an awful disease. Hopefully she can find some ways to relief her pain.

Congratulations on quitting smoking!

Funny pic of me and my daughter Cynthia. (My screen name is WDWAddictt ) My hair is such a mess. I would have loved to stuck around to talk with you after your ride, but my kids were wanting to rush over to the next ride (Barnstormer). After we got off that ride, I didn't see you guys around. Sorry... maybe next time.

Great trip report! Thanks for sharing!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to You and Your Family!!

Best Wishes for an amazing 2015!!

Love the Christmas gifts you posted! The Mickey ears lights are just perfect! And who wouldn't want a great picture of her two handsome boys?

You know, I don't think I have ever been on Dumbo. Hanging my head in shame! I didn't visit WDW for the first time until I was 18, and then as Mark and I visited as adults we never did it and the only time we took the boys as young kids, we had a very short trip and it didn't make the list. I really do need to ride it someday!

The pictures you got of the train approaching through the steam are awesome! I also love the shots of random people on the rides (TTA, autos) as you are riding by.

Is that a lady holding her hands up on the blue line? gotta love it!

Mark's t shirt is really neat!

Love the Dumbo pictures. Mark looks like a little kid!

 

[jenseib]

You had me laughing out loud... this is fantastic!

Hopefully you never had any dreams with me in them.

Well...I do....but they involve whips for some odd reason?

Just catching up Kathy, but had to stop and comment before I forgot.

I love the Jimmeny Cricket photopass. I have never seen that one either and it's so adorable!

Glad you got to try so many different food and wine options. I have only been there once during that time period and it was so crazy busy that I didn't stop at any of the booths.

 

[jenseib]

All caught up now!
I love the gift Des got you. I think she should go back and get me a set too!

 

[MissMaryQC]

Hey Kathy! SUPER fell behind, DD's first Christmas proved very busy! All caught up again! Firstly I hope you, Mark and the family had a magical Christmas, full of laughter and love. The gifts look great. Especially those one-of-a-kind Mickey Lights! Super cool.

You two are such a cute couple! I love your PP pics by the castle. And the ones on Dumbo are so sweet, but the ones on the train are my favorite

As always Mark and his hats are too cute; I think that Pooh Ear hat should have been a souvenir, but that's just my opinion.

 

[mickeystoontown]

I was several updates behind but am all caught up again. Your snacking around World Showcase looks like fun. Everything that you ordered looked extremely good. Well, except for the beer but that's because I'm not a beer drinker.

What neat Christmas gifts you received! I love the Mickey heads and the picture of your boys. Yes, they are your boys despite the fact that they are grown men now. Our "kids" will always be our kids.

It looks like your morning at the Magic Kingdom was shaping up very nicely. Coffee, sweets, impromptu Dis meets, Pooh, and Dumbo. Not too shabby!

 

[eandesmom]

Ah Kathy, you prolific poster you!

I try to get caught up and really need to just reply wherever I am at as invariably I'm several updates behind and then don't reply as I want to get fully caught up and then...the cycle continues!

So I am going to go with more recent/top of mind....

In no particular order...

I LOVE that lion king tank top on you and those PP pictures, super duper cute!

That ham gratin was absolutely one of my favorite F&W items. I am drooling a little just thinking about it.

Adore Des's gift to you, how incredibly sweet and very very you!

I hope your Christmas has been magical and full of love and laughter.

Well...I do....but they involve whips for some odd reason?

I can't possibly imagine why...??
