HAPPY CHRISTMAS ​

I hope you have a great day, I bet your kids are so excited now, I know I am.

Drive safely and
I hope you and Nick, Sophie, Mum, and the rest of your family have a

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

** Merry Christmas **​

That's a bummer about your character breakfast and not getting good pics because of the other kids. Thomas looks so sad in the pic with goofy The pic of all the kids is cute ~ so cute how Thomas is holding his sister's hand

Sorry your drive home was so miserable ~ and I know how that is when your child throws up in the car

Your plans sound great ~ I say go for a cruise if you can

Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful TR ~ I can't wait for the next one!!!

Just to let you know we made it down to my Mum's safely last night and are now enjoying a really nice Christmas Eve together. So for you and your family...

Happy Christmas Eve ​

I hope you have a lovely day and that santa comes to visit Kaylee and Thomas tonight.

Thanks so much for reading and all your nice comments. I never even noticed my kids were holding hands unitl you mentioned it . It is very cute though. Merry Christmas to your family!! I will see you on your trip report until we get back to Disney.

Thanks you are very sweet. Glad to hear your having a nice time. We are having a nice time here too. Soon as it gets dark we are going to take a drive and look at Christmas lights. Then I'm going to let Thomas put out Reindeer food on the front lawn and also cookies & milk out for Santa . Hope Santa is good to you & your family this year.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!!

I know I have said this before but now I am saying it for real, so...

Hope you all had a great Christmas. I know we did. Now the kids are off my computer but I can't get them away from the Wii . Nothing new here, except I'm rethinking our planned October trip for a May 2009 trip instead. If only Tom could get time off . I just think that will be a better time of year since I absolutely loved March. It didn't rain at all and the crowds were comparable to October. Well have to see though .

So glad to hear you had a great Christmas. I know they love the Wii We got one for Christmas, but we opened it early...about 6 months ago

May sounds nice ~ glad you guys are talking about another one

Keep us filled in

I can't believe I didn't know you finished this up. Too busy w/ Christmas I guess. This sure was a trip with its up s and downs huh? I hope you get to go back next year. Sorry about the horrible drive home. Cape May sounds nice minus your friend. At least you didn't have to spend the whole trip w/ her. Is this the same one who made fun of you for leaving the rainy party? Thanks for sharing your trip with us. The good, the bad and the ugly! Keep in touch!

 

[ariel2007]

Heya, sounds like you had a great Christmas and great Christmas eve. That sounds lovely driving around looking at the lights, did you see any really good displays? And that is so cute you put reindeer food out on the lawn, we leave a carrot and water on the table but it obviously means the reindeer have to come in the house and they always bring snow in with them

If you go in May we may see you there. May is a great time to go as last year we had such good weather and really low crowds. I just hope we are as lucky this year with the deals the have been running.

Thanks earthfairies, Wow 6 months early. I would probably do the same thing if it was in our house that long before Christmas because i would want to play it . A few more days and you will in the Orlando area to live! Good luck with your move.

Hi Monica,
I think all of us were crazy busy but I really wanted to finish this up so I could find more reading and hopefully planning time. Yes same friend . She said we all (well just her family and ours) should go in November 2009 since that is when they planning to go. Don't think so, there are only certain people I would want to share my time at Disney with you know what I mean. Personally I like reading reports that tell the good and bad points of the trip, more fun to that way. Thanks so much for reading !

Hi Ariel,
The carrot & water sounds really cute too. Where do you get snow from, Outside? I really want to go in May, but it looks like Tom won't be able to have any time off until July . No way would I go in July, and I'm kind of sick of October since we went that time the last 3 years. I guess I shouldn't complain as at least I get to go to Disney . The deals are great but really don't need tickets since we still have 5-6 days left on our hoppers and 9 waterpark visits too. i'm hoping they come out with a room discount, then maybe we will go for like 4 days or something. We would love to be there over Thomas's Birthday on the 20th. I hope you still get nice weather & low crowds though.

Hey! How was your Christmas? We skipped the Mountains. Stayed home and enjoyed the 70 degree weather instead. Nothing like Mini Golf in December. hahaha We had talked about going over Spring Break with Dane and Farrah. Maybe Heather and Chad too. We'll see. If we go we have to hang out. How did your DD like all her AG stuff? Have you seen the latest sale? I'm a sucker for a sale! We got the Wii too for all of us. For NYE we're going to play all night!

 

[dddisrunner]

Hi Nichole! I hope you guys had a GREAT Christmas! As always your TR was AWESOME! Sorry that you had a few "friend" issues to deal with and poor Thomas getting sick but you really did make the best of it! I saw what you were thinking about your future plans, that is great that you could book a bounceback! I would love for you to go in the beginning of Novemeber....then we could meet finally!!! It is so hard to stay away from Disney, look at what Bryan said... no Disney for 5 years and now we are DVC members I have also caught your switch resortitis...you'll have to come back over and check out my report.. Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!

I ordered a couple thing from the sale. Kaylee loved all her AG stuff. How did your DD like hers. Was she thrilled with her new dolls? Right now I'm anoyed because Mia's skating rink seems to be missing pieces to the stand. I called AG and they are going to see if they can order the part. Otherwise we are out of luck since it's sold out. Mind you I ordered this back in October to make sure we got one for DD. Shame on me for not taking everything out of the box when we got to make sure . Looks like Kaylee wants Chrissa for her Birthday in March. Sorry you didn't get to the mountains but I agree I would rather enjoy nice weather.

Hi Diane,
How was your Christmas? The friend issue were just a little much . Tom said no way to May even though I want to go so badly in the spring. But naybe we will end up booking for November. Right now he says we are not going in 2009 but well just see about that . Oh no! Your resort switching . I will be over shortly. Happy new year to you too!

The snow comes from Lapland of course . No, I think its just icing sugar or something like that, but mixed with glitter so it looks magical.

I don't blame you for not wanting to go in July, we went at the end of July, beginning of August and it was so hot and crowded. Personally I would love to go in October and go to MNSSHP and F&WF but I guess if you have been its nice to try another time. What month is Thomas's birthday then?

No way would I go in the summer. We did free dining September of 2006 and spent most of the trip in the Poly pool. It was hot and humid , not crowded at all though. Thomas's Bday is May 20th. Tom already said no to May, but maybe I will just leave him home .
