November '08 ~ What Do You Mean It's Over? Should we plan another???

We are staying at POR.
It's hard to believe that it is finally our time to go. It's seemed like it would never get here and now that it is.... I am so excited!

that is cool - never seen POR but becoming more enamored of it reading the posts on the board. just seems weird to go all the way to Disney to stay in....New Orleans! ;) being that I am from here and all and live like 5 miles away from N.O.! we will have to go and see the resort when we go in December!
 
Welcome back to all the returning travelers---:guilty:

Have a fabulous time those of you leaving soon.:cheer2:

Awwww--- I'm going to be sad when we've all returned and it's all over.

:sad1:

Oh my goodness, it's cold here in Orlando. Hats and mitts required. I promised the kids that I'd sit in the hot tub tonight and I did a sprint back into the building. Unfortunately, I ate something that disagreed with me on Sunday evening and was violently ill for 24 hours. Poor hubby found me passed out on the bathroom floor and was ready to call 911. No one else was sick so I sent them to Hollywood Studios with dad. I was finally able to climb out of bed this morning and we went to Magic Kingdom. It was a beautiful day. Christmas decorations are up but no giant Christmas Tree. I was really sure there would be one. Crowds were very light and we walked onto most rides. Absolutely wonderful day!

I am so sorry you were sick!!! Thanks for the tip about the weather. I've packed short sleeves and pants for my kids with jackets, hats, and gloves. I hope that will suffice. All of our disney-themed clothes are short sleeves!! :rotfl:

WE LEAVE TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! I barely slept last night. It's 6:30 in the morning now and I decided to go ahead and get up, laying in bed is useless at this point!!! I have the kids mostly packed but still have to pack for DH and I. We go pick up our rental car at 3:00!!!!

Did I mention I'm excited!?! :banana: :cool1: :woohoo: :dance3: :yay: :cheer2:

One Week!!!!! :goodvibes
7 days until our 12 day trip!
12 days from now we're getting up early and going to Crystal Palace for breakfast. I love going into the park before it officially opens! After breakfast, we're hanging around the Magic Kingdom for a while, then will probably head back for a swim in Stormalong at some point. Then it's back to the Lagoon for dinner at Narcoosee's, which I am incredibly excited about.... it and the Bistro are the two restaurants I was most disappointed to miss last year (no Bistro this year, either, unfortunately!). After a great dinner and a fine view of Wishes, we may in fact head back into the Magic Kingdom for the EMH..... can't get enough Splash Mountain, and definitely can't get enough of it at night!
 
Wow, there sure is a lot of us Disers that will be there!

We're leaving Friday (11/20-11/27)!
 
Hi everyone from the Dolphin! It's really chilly here right now - make sure you all pack some warm clothes all of you that are coming down in the next few days! I wish I'd brought more in the way of sweatshirts etc.! Still, being cold in Disney is WAY better than being cold in Vermont! Safe travels to all of you coming down! Oh and the Xmas decos are starting to go up - I went through the Yacht and Beach clubs the gingerbread carousel at the Beach club is GORGEOUS and smells sooooo good! Have fun!

By any chance did you eat at the Brown Derby??
My friend got food poisoning there a few days ago. So sorry you got sick. There is nothing worse than being ill on vacation.

2 more days. I'm struggling on the packing front. I don't have "casual" cool weather clothes!!! own one maybe 2 sweatshirts!! DH and DS are just fine. I might have to sneak in a bit of shopping.

We ate at the Whispering Canyon Cafe at Fort Wilderness. In all fairness, we all ate similar meals and the only thing that I had alone was the coffee mate non-dairy creamers. It's not something I have every had before but I loaded up my coffee as we left the resort. I'm so much better today.

Good news! When we woke up this morning, Christmas had arrived at the Beach Club. They have crafted a beautiful ginger bread carousel in the lobby and there are trees everywhere. It was so magical to wake up to this transformation! Hint* Hint* there are 9 hidden mickeys on the carousel.
