**Official December 2010 Thread!!**

This is the teen one, the tween one covered less.

very cute, but yeah, some of the costumes are uh, revealing....lol.....but she looks cute!

I don't think that's being mean to not trick-or-treat. Plus, that's a lot of money to spend on costumes!

We don't trick or treat or dress up. We just go to a party at our church. The kids get free candy there and it's candy I feel comfortable letting them eat!

i agree- it isn't a bad thing Vicki- it is costly. thankfully this year, the trash can cost me $7 and the trash was free! yeah, the candy is super expensive too. and really, who needs all those cavities?

My fiance says the same thing about pushing me. However, I refuse to get an electric scooter because my refluxes are pretty bad and I don't want to run people over (literally). People already talk to much crap about people in wheelchairs I'm not going to have someone shoot me dirty looks. I just told him we'd take breaks every now and again so I don't wear him out, lol.

yeah, we joked with my mom that we would rent her a scooter (she can't drive anymore obviously either).......it was sort of our private joke......she would definitely run over some people on one since she's legally blind now. My mom is obese too, so it really made pushing her that much more difficult. but hey, i looked at it this way, it was great exercise for me so i could burn off all those cinnamon rolls and dole whips, right?

It's snowing this morning here in Central Vermont! Come on December and Disney!!!!!

how fun! it is still 85 here today in dallas. supposedly a high of only 65 or something next week. i am still waiting for fall to arrive!!!

I'm a mean mom I told the kids no Trick or treating this year. They don't eat the candy and last year I spent well over $150 on costumes and accesories for the kids. So I told them I would rather take them somewhere. BUT since they have parties for school I had to do something. My 2 DDs are being babies. They are wearing a new pair of PJs and I have to get them slippers. I will put their hair in pig tails, I will darken their freckles, buy them a bib and a pacifier and they are good to go. My DS is being a PITB though. He won't tell us what he wants to be. I was hoping to get him a mask or something or wear his football outfit but NOOOO he wants to be impossible.

Make matters worse the kids can not agree on where they want to go or what they want to do that night.

Vicki- Not sure where you are at in South Jersey, but you could always go to the Skullville's firehouse haunted hayride on Zion Road in EHT. When I used to live in the area I went there every year. It was so much fun.

My fiance says the same thing about pushing me. However, I refuse to get an electric scooter because my refluxes are pretty bad and I don't want to run people over (literally). People already talk to much crap about people in wheelchairs I'm not going to have someone shoot me dirty looks. I just told him we'd take breaks every now and again so I don't wear him out, lol.

On our last trip to WDW I injured my foot (severe Plantar Fasciitis). I ended up in a wheelchair. My spouse got tired of pushing me around and we opted for a scooter buggy. Being a Pooh sized person, I'm sure I got some looks but I was dealing with some major pain so I really didn't care what others thought! Like you, my reflexes weren't the greatest and I kept hitting walls, poles and my DH. I tried not to run into other people! I also got tired of being butt level with everyone!I preferred to finish out my trip on crutches. Something I would NOT want to repeat!
This is my biggest concern this trip. I am taking it slow, with LOTS of breaks in between. We have a scheduled resort break after lunch each day. It sucks to be ill or in pain/ recovering while at WDW! I know I will miss out on lots of stuff, but I'll just add them on my to do list for our next trip. It gives me a reason to plan future trips!!!

On a side note, I just found out that my DF who is going to meet us there just got out of a week long stay at the hospital for having a blood clot. I told him that he has 7 weeks to recover. If you are going to get sick, do it now and get it out of the way!Nobody is allowed to get sick 1 week prior to or during our trip!

So, everybody PLEASE be safe, stay healthy and lets all arrive happy and in one piece!

Quick question... How close to the departure date does Mickey Mail come? The trip that I booked is a surprise gift and I'd be ( I guess the closest word I can think of is ) disappointed, if the day before her birthday, she sees a giant envelop.

If it doesn't come til 30 days before I'm good.

Anyone know how far out the mail come?

I know the ME tags come sooner than the Mickey Mail. I think we got out ME tags at maybe 35 days out and Mickey mail maybe 20 or 25 days out.

Does anyone remember the exact time frame?

This is right down the street from me! If your looking for something super scary go to creamy acre farms

I forgot about Creamy Acres! That is another really good one. I live near the newest attraction "Pennhurst Assylum". I have a friend who works there that say its about as creepy as Eastern State Pen.

I'm going to start packing soon. Now that the weather is changing, I'll start putting away clothes for warmer weather and choosing the ones to include for Disney in my "Disney closet." DH laughs at me that I have a closet JUST for Disney stuff. I may even put some things in suitcases. The problem is that by the time we go I've forgotten where I packed everything!

Sweet Merciful Tinkerbell!!!

My vacation is officially paid off.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Now I just sit back, relax and re-think and over-think my ADR's

 

[Disneywedding2010]

I need to call Disney and make sure all my ADRs are there. I'm still only seeing 4 on their website.

I'm getting excited and need to start getting an idea of what I want to pack for the trip. We are taking 2 suitcases (normally we only take 1 big one). However, we got an Owner's Locker (we have DVC) and we want to be able to start putting things in it.

What's everyone packing clothes wise for Disney for in December?

I'm thinking 3 pairs of jeans, assortment of t-shirts and a sweatshirt. I'm Pooh sized so I get hot really quickly and can't stand it. So if it gets chilly I'll put my sweatshirt on over my t-shirt.

YESSSSSS, I'm dying to go too!!! It was sooooo cold here today and guys, all of you who want snow - I'll be happy to send it down/over/across or up to you! It was so cold, windy and snowy today - I FROZE at DD's soccer game this afternoon. I had on silk longjohns, a Dale of Norway ski sweater, a goose down coat, a hat, mittens and was covered in a blanket and I still shivered through it. Those poor girls in shorts!!!! DD was freezing in the goal (not much action today, which was a GOOD thing). So, yes, Meagan, I'm going insane waiting for my trip too!!!

I recently found out that I passed both of my PRAXIS II tests (Social Studies Content Knowlege & PLT 7-12) on the first try no less! I also presented my portfolio on Tuesday and passed with flying colors so basically I'm just sailing through my classes (and twiddling my thumbs) until about a week before we leave for WDW. I also found out that I may get one of the placements I wanted for student teaching so about a week and a half after we get back I will be leaving for my aunt and uncle's for about 3.5 months and hopefully I will find a job somewhere before next school year so I literally have no idea where I will be living less than a year from now, kind of a strange feeling...

 

[mamaprincess]

ARRRRRRRRG!!!! I am besides myself waiting for our trip!!! I keep messing with our ADR's and changing our park days. I'm driving myself !!
It seems the closer this vacation gets, the more anxious I become.
