Me - Too organised for her own good
DH - Too laid back for my liking
DD (17) - Confirmed shopaholic (note to self take extra bags)
Ds (9) - Addicted to Power &/or Gatorade depending on which park we are at

December 2004

After many years of discussion we decide that we will take our first ever Christmas vacation in 2005. Have numerous family discussions about possible locations starting relatively low key with Canaries etc as we already have Orlando holiday booked for August. After trawling internet over Christmas break for reasonable prices am surprised at how expensive Europe is. We move search Stateside. I am in favour of New York as really like idea of Times Square then start seeing TV reports of heavy snowfalls and am not so sure. Have lots of trouble finding accomodation and/or flights anyway which appear to be sold out already.

March 2005

Still can't find suitable New York holiday so have family discussion and decide on Orlando. DD & DS thrilled they are really excited about seeing Christmas lights etc in parks. Again have difficulty getting exactly what we want as many flights fully booked eventually manage to get 10 day holiday from Gatwick flying on Christmas Day!

September 2005

As I was little disappointed at not getting New York trip at Christmas DH books one for Easter 2006 as birthday surprise!

December 2005

Feels very strange that everybody is getting ready for Christmas and that we're getting ready to go away. Am excited about holiday but can't help feeling that we're missing out on something. Have ADR's sorted and park tickets arrived safely from ATD. Have never been so organised with sending cards & gifts. Have a big family lunch the week before and have Christmas Day a day early so it's early to bed on Christmas eve to get up early for our Very Merry Christmas Adventure ......... :)

Would you go away at Christmas time again?

Great pre-trip report Lisa ~ Can't wait to read more.
 
Loved your pre-trippie and looking forward to the next. I would love to go to New York but I am still trying to persuade hubby as its not a place he is keen to go to he thinks it will be all shopping. :teeth:
 
I enjoy Xmas at home too much to go away but still envious of those of you who do. Sounds like a good start. ;)
