So glad to be joining this thread with other obsessive Disney planners, my family just doesn't get me! We are booked at OKW for Dec 30 - Jan 6, it will be myself, DH, DD(14), DS(21), DS(24) and DSGF(23), it will be DSGF's first time, the rest of us are old pros. We had been regulars, going every year or two since oldest DS was 1. But eight years ago we moved to the west coast and are now DL regulars. The last time we were at the world as a family, was the same end of the year trip, in Dec 2012 (DH and I did a couples trip Nov 2015 with friends). Please add us to the roll call, thanks.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:[/SIZE]
Do you have a souvenir that you must buy every trip? If so share what it is!!!

We bought a lanyard and pin for our daughter on our trip in January and we plan to add to her collection each trip. Otherwise I just buy whatever tempts me at the time.

I always have to purchase a Christmas Ornament!

My favorite one over the years is a gold laced Mickey with the date.

Well it was a personalized mickey ears Christmas ornament but plain mickey ears ornaments are getting really hard to find so that tradition may be going out the window.

 

[Deirdres]

We buy a Christmas ornament representing the trip

Also, have to get 2 travel mugs, not sure if that falls into a souvenir, since it's practical as well. And I just realized we get Mickey/Minnie ears each time we go.

I always have to buy a sweatshirt of some sort and a mug. Plus, we always get an ornament with the year on it.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

I buy a different mug every trip

We bought those Starbucks/Parks ones last year and that has satisfied us....for now! LOL!!! We started buying them in the different countries we have travelled in at Starbucks, so when we saw these, it replaced our regular Mickey mug obsession. LOL

Question of the Day! Let's Talk EPCOT!

What is your favorite country to eat in when it comes to the World Showcase?
--------------------------------------

Our family favorite is Morocco! We are in love with Spice Road Table now, but before then it was Marrakesh!

[hsmamainva]

United Kingdom!!! ADORE eating at Rose & Crown!!

School Bread in Norway is our 1st snack place of choice!

Boarding the December train! We had to move our dates around and now we're going early December instead of November. First time doing a split stay, first time in December, first time doing Candlelight Processional!

Our dates are:

AKL - 5-8
POR - 8-18

 

[WAHkoMom]

Catching up on a few recent QOTDs:

Favorite attraction by park:
MK - Buzz Lightyear
HS - Toy Story Mania
Epcot - Test Track
AK - Expedition Everest

Must-have souvenirs:
Trading pins, mugs (for us and our parents as gifts when we get back) and we just started buying ornaments a few trips ago.

Favorite Epcot WS country to eat: this is tough as I like to snack - as I drink ;-) - around the world. I'd have to pick Fish & chips in the U.K for a meal and caramel apples in Germany for a sweet treat.
