The ToT pp picture is hilarious. Great wrap-up of your first trip.
Really is great that you got to see Mickey and Minnie in their holiday clothes.

Oh, and the orange is making me re-think the shirts I have that I was planning on making for the halloween party. Was that just a neon orange, it almost looks like you all are glowing!

I read your taking tr from your last trip and now I have read this one. You have such a cute family. I love the bows you are making and think my DD would love them. I also I have to say I completely understand how you would want to plan your own trip with just your family. We did a Christmas trip in 2009 and went with DH's Mom, sis, bil, daughter, son, and my family(me, DH, DS, DD). We missed out on so much waiting around for them. We didn't really get to do anything. The day we went to MK we rode 3 whole rides. So...I planned a trip in July just DH, myself and DD. We had so much fun and did so much. And just like you now I seem to be a disney junkie. I am trying to plan another trip for Aug 2011.

Thank you so much! The bows have become my new obession & I have been getting tons of orders via Facebook. So it's keeping me busy & I love it!

It's just too much going with another family. But I am a very bossy person, so I like calling the shots at all times. My MIL is bossy also, so needless to say we don't really get along

[therussells08]

This is a great top ten list! I remember that awestruck feeling very well! The castle looks like it came right from the pages of a fairytale and landed in FL!

I am SO excited to see the Christmas decorations when we go! Especially since we are getting there Dec. 26th and going straight to MK!!

Thanks!

But of course that was #1, I don't think anything could replace that moment!

Ben said the intense version took his breath away.

Btw, anyone know where I can download the song "One Little Spark"? You know the one from Figment?

Did you find the song? I have it on CD, I can make a copy for you and drop it in the mail. Let me know.

No I sure didn't! that would be great! Thank you so much!

 

[BelleTinkMom]

Send a PM with your mailing address. I have it on the Four Parks One World CD's from our last trip. It's two CD's. I will make copies of both.

Oh thank you so much! Do I owe you anything for it?

So I have decided to steal Joni's idea about doing a game. I am in a serious Disney withdrawal right now, so I need this!

I'm going to call it...

Where is THAT at? Game

There are tons of things that I have yet to see at Disney, so I thought that this will be fun.

Here's how it's going to work:

Every Friday I am going to post a part of a picture that was taken somewhere in WDW. I'm going to do this after 5 pm and before 11:59 pm every Friday, and I'm never going to give any warning before I do it. I am going to do it on Fridays because I figured everyone is burned out & just needs a little computer time to relax.

The first person to accurately guess where is that picture taken at (ex: Tree of Life, Animal Kingdom....so I need what it is & where it is located!) will get one point. Please don't PM your answer to me, just post it as a reply here on my thread. You only get ONE guess, so don't post multiple answers please! If you do I will only count your first answer. This means that if you get it right but you're not the first person to answer, you get no points. Sorry guys, this is the only way I could come up with to keep it fair!

After I see that someone has accurately guessed, I will post the updated scoresheet.

At the end of the game (which will be the last Friday before I leave if this works out) the person with the most points will be the winner! The winner will receive a very special surprise from me on my trip. I'm not going to tell you what it will be, but I will tell you it will be awesome! (Just be aware that you have to be willing to share your mailing address with me in a PM to receive the prize. If you're not comfortable with that I totally understand, but the prize will not be able to get to you! )

There are the rules for Where is THAT at? Game! What do you guys think? Does it sound like fun? I am going to start the game with the first picture sometime this evening, so be on the lookout!

 

[DisneyFirefly]

That sounds like fun! If I had a game I could think of, I'd do one, too, for the next five weeks
