I just booked a hotel at Myrtle Beach. I'm paying the same per night as we pay at POFQ.I sure wish we were going there instead...
Hurry up December!
The Dunes Village. We've stayed there before, so we know it's really nice.We only live an hour from Myrtle Beach! What hotel did you book with?
I'm surprised you had to pay so much!
We are really happy because it has a washer and dryer. Yay! No sandy beach towels.

We plan on spending the weekend there for our DS 5's birthday in February. Both of my children have birthdays when it's cold so it's hard to come up with something to do that's fun besides Chucky Cheese, Let's Get Bouncin'(all kinds of inflatables, etc.)
Thanks for the tip! I'll sign up for their emails.We've stayed there too! Actually, I took my DD11 and three of her BFF's this past March for her birthday! We loved the room and the girls loved the waterparks! We actually went out in 40 degree weather and got in the lazy river just to say we did it-I had to look "hip" with the girls you know!
Do you get their emails? In Jan./Feb. you can book rooms for as little as $39.00 a night!!!!!
Hope ya'll have a great time!
I was lucky to get the last room they had. 
(I was wondering if that was true, so I checked online and it was!) My boys can't wait to go back. They really like the big chess game and basketball in the pool. 
Sorry! I thought the same thing, but it must have been taken at Christmas time-you can see a little bit of holly on Minnie's apron.
I found this one too:

Hope this is what you wanted!
Is anybody doing a countdown calendar? I think we are going to make one that starts at 100 days. In the past the boys and I have made a really long chain with one construction paper link per day. We drape it all around our family room, and the boys take turns removing a link per day. Anybody have anything better they do?
Minnie's outfits can also depend on the different places she performs that night. The previous link looks like her outfit from the MVMCP parade. But for the show on the castle stage, she has worn a red and green plaid dress. At the Night Before Christmas show in Tomorrowland (which they stopped performing last year), she was wearing green Christmas pajamas. But generally, I think that the red and white Mrs. Claus dress is a good option!
I have been bugging my dh to go back to the world since we got home after our last years Christmas trip. He finally agreed to go back again this December! I am so excited. I have our resort booked, split stay between SSR and Beach Club. We are going Dec. 15-23rd. Now I just need to order tickets and do a little planning. We are going to try the counter service dining plan this time around. I will admit I am kind of excited about not be tied to ADRs. I know, I know, the horror.
We really wanted to try a different time of year but there was no availability the week we needed to go in October because of school schedules. (My inlaws give us DVC points each year.) We didn't want summer because of the heat and spring break doesn't work for us. So this will be our 3rd December trip in a row. We just love the weather this time of year and the atmosphere. Maybe next year I can get that fall break trip booked.
Oh, yeah, I am thinking we are going to surprise our 7 and 9 year old. Any good ideas on how to do it?

Up until the airport, you're doing OK with a hunt. But you'd have to finish it before you get to the gate. Even a 7 year old will know that you're getting on a plane to Orlando, not Topeka.
I think we're going to do the link chain, too. My girls are too young to really get it, so it will be more for me than for them, but I think it will be fun anyway!Is anybody doing a countdown calendar?

We just got back from MB a couple of weeks ago! We go there every single year, and to WDW every other year. This is a 2-vacation year, so it's extra exciting!I just booked a hotel at Myrtle Beach. I'm paying the same per night as we pay at POFQ.
Hurry up December!
We stay at Compass Cove every year, so if you're ever looking for a new place, I highly recommend it!
That means that it will probably be during our trip this year... Dec 4-11. I just talked to DS and he asked me to please make sure he didn't miss it. 
But MOMMY side knows that she will move the trip if she needs to.
