Can you believe I still haven't finished the show?
After NYE, I watched most of season 4 (which I'd never watched before), and then stopped watching before the last 3 episodes. I mean it's taken me 14 years to finish it, what will I do next?
I love it! We've never gotten to ride the Liberty Belle. All our time in Dec was at night after it wasn't running, and it's been under refurbishment for awhile so we didn't get to it in May either.
I love this tree!
I love when they put santa hats on tarntulas or dinosaurs (like Gertie)
I feel like every time we leave it gets harder to go especially if we've had a really good trip
Sometimes if I'm not feeling well (like the blister thing in Sep or if I'm sick) I feel a bit relieved to be getting home, but the last 2 trips we did in May and the one in Dec I was so sad when we left! May is usually the only time we leave from Disney and not USO, and both times I cried when we got home. Leaving Epcot was so hard last trip because the weather had been super hot most the week, and was perfect that day! I could picture what a perfect night we'd have if we could've stayed. Now I'm depressed all over again thinking about leaving Disney before we get there
lol, i have shows like that. The OC is part of your life now, finishing it will feel like an accomplishment...but also disappointing b/c it's over
We have a lot of shows we get super into and then one day we stop watching and spend the rest of forever saying, "we should finish..." Ozark is the main one right now. We started it, it took me a few episodes to get into it, then I was really loving it...and now we haven't watched in months. Season Two starts soon, will we or won't we??
It's not a very thrilling ride but I'm glad we finally did it! It was the perfect day for it too, although pictures would have been prettier with a blue sky! It was relaxing though, and if it had been a hot, busy day, it would have been awesome. (unless it was hot and crowded ON the boat, then no way!)
All animals should have hats during Christmas
It makes me ridiculously happy. A couple of my dogs tolerate sweaters (they get cold, and also, I think it makes them feel fancy. Howie growls when you try to take his off to wash) but not hats...not hats at all
The rhino on Jingle Cruise needs a hat! They gave the gorillas hats.
Oh no, don't be sad now!! I do that too. Leading up to the trip I do the whole, "One week from today we'll be in MK!" and then we get ready for the trip and it changes to, "One week from today our trip will be over
"
I always say that airports make me get over the sadness and make me ready to be home. We get to MCO and the process of getting through security and finding the gate really take me out of the magic, lol.
I should have guessed Citricos!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! We also had an awesome meal there when we went for the first time this winter, too. Sooo wonderful. I wish we'd booked an ADR to go back, but we wanted to check a few new places off our list, so we're trying Narcoossee's this time instead. I feel like Citricos will be the winner by a landslide though!
What an awesome Minnie van driver you had!! I'm so glad you didn't end up losing your precious Basin purchases. I'm very serious about Basin.
I'm glad you had a good visit to Citricos too! I strongly considered Narcoossee's for NYE this year (in time for early fireworks), but I'm the only one who cares all that much for seafood and we'd all probably get the steak, LOL. It's so pretty inside there, though. I need to start a PTR after I finish this just to talk it out, haha! Citricos was just such a perfect experience.
Wow-how great! I love those Disney CMs who go above and beyond!
I was so grateful!!
Re-using Easter decorations?
So glad you had a great meal at Citricos, we'll have to try it someday!
lol, maybe that's it!! you know how everyone likes to talk about Disney cutting corners
you should definitely try it! I know we just had the one meal there, but it's moved right to the top of the list for us. I hope the next visit is just as good, and it wasn't just the wine, or us being excited to have a nice meal without the kids tagging along, LOL.
Enjoying your TR! You were brave to tackle the New Year's crowds! Seeing the wait times and crowd pictures, I could handle it but my DH could NOT. We typically go early Dec. which we both really like. Great decision to get to MK early on New Year's Day. It seems to work for us too going early to a park that had EMH the night before. Especially MK. I can relate to the tears - I don't have another trip on the calendar and it's killing me.....
Thank you! I never thought NYE would be something we'd even think about doing, but when my friend needed to sell her DVC reservation, how could I not? DH and I had been wanting to go by ourselves for a long time, and the timing (school/kid wise) worked perfectly. Even though we had a great time, I said NEVER AGAIN to going over the new year, and yet here we go again and with kids this time. This ties into not having a trip booked - I was so desperate that the first opportunity for all four of us to go was during NYE and I wanted to just get back so badly I didn't care
Here's hoping I don't regret that!
Great pics at the GF! Your dinner sounds amazing! I'm glad you will get to go again this year
Ugh that would have been so tragic if you couldn't get your Basin bag back! What an awesome driver!
It was such a good meal. The hard part about picking Disney meals for me is the desire to try new places every time, but also knowing that I can only eat certain things at certain restaurants and I can't just have it any old time I want, so it makes me want to book again. I have already done a lot of overthinking on this one, but it was just so awesome!
I was so upset! And SO mad at myself!! DH kept saying, "if we can't find it you can just order it online", but then it wouldn't be DISNEY basin! (which i know is crazy, but hey, i will own that craziness, lol). At first I was a little afraid I'd left it at the Poly and I knew I'd never get it back if that was the case. But then I remembered putting it in the floorboard. I couldn't believe they found it and that he was so willing to come back (and meet us in the garage instead of making us walk all the way to the lobby)
Ah, those meals at Skippers Canteen and Citricos look amazing! We had an ADR at Skippers for the last day of our last trip but I cancelled it because I was worried we would miss our flight. Can't wait to try it next time!
Oh, I understand that. I've done that before with meals - I hope you get to try it next time. I just love it!
So much harder to leave if you don't know when you'll be back!! 
in Epcot
