Jen, are we on the same updating schedule????
Your trip sounds like a blast! I love that picture of the sleigh ride! It makes me want to take one!
Yeah for one week. I'm at 10 days and I know how you feel. Driving home from work in tons of traffic was killing me yesterday. And it didn't help the melissa (mickeysmyboy) was texting me pictures of her pool side drinks.
That was a little strange, us both updating and commenting on each other's TR's on Saturday morning!
Thanks! I can't wait for the sleigh ride, I think it's going to be so much fun!
I honestly don't know how I'm going to make it through the week. 1 day of work down, 4 to go. I really have to ask if I can work a half day on Friday, there's no way I can do a full day!
Yay for only one week left!!!
I think the carriage ride sounds like so much fun, and you'll definitely be doing a lot of holiday things even without
MVMCP! The Epcot resorts do have cute decorations, I won't give them away if you're looking to be surprised, but definitely check out the Beach Club, Yacht Club, and Boardwalk - and the Swan and Dolphin too! They also put up pretty decorations
I'm so excited for the sleigh ride! I'm kind of sad about no MVMCP this year, but...not really! I love it, but I can skip it for a year! I think I'm definitely going to check out the Epcot resorts to see the decorations...I've seen a few pictures and they look amazing!
How exciting just one week
I am SO jealous..though Im sure Ive said that earlier in your report
I know you will miss the parade and fireworks, but how cool for the sleigh ride!! I hear the campgrounds usually are decorated and people get really into it..so that would be so cool to see
I am really eager to read about your whole next trip as well because its all things I have never done before (with the exception of Cape May)
I can't wait to see the campground, all decorated for Christmas! Some campsites were decorated for Halloween, which was fun, but I have a feeling that will be nothing compared to the Christmas decorations!
I'm excited for this trip because we're doing things that are new for me, like the Candlelight Processional! I love that there are always new things to do at Disney!
Will they be doing Holiday Wishes and/or the Christmas parade at all when you're there? I know on a couple of the trips we've taken after Christmas we've seen the parade and I thought they also did the holiday fireworks a couple times. But maybe they don't start that until later if they still do that.
No, unfortunately they don't start doing that until after we leave. We will be missing it by a few days.
It's ok though, just gives me a reason to hopefully go back next year! I really, really love going for Christmas!
I'm still reading! I just have been really bad at commenting lately.
It's a bit disappointing that they didn't do more with the fireworks for the 40th. At least you weren't stuck in those crazy crowds and was able to enjoy some rides. I agree that BTM is awesome at night!
That poor guy! He must have had a panic attack when he found out his stuff was missing! That was very nice of you to bring it back. At least because he had some info in there they probably were able to trace him back.
Looks like you have a great trip planned! I think it's a nice idea to leave mornings/afternoons free, though I'm not sure I would be able to handle it. Hahaha
LOL that's ok, sometimes I'm bad at commenting too!
I really love BTM at night, it's so much fun!
I'm so excited about this trip! I can't wait to wake up and not have to rush off somewhere, to just go wherever we want! That's totally new for us, usually every day is pretty planned out!
WOW at being at Disney World in 6 days time!!! I am SO jealous!! 
Oh no on not doing MVMCP though I can understand your reasoning behind the decision.
Yay on adding the sleigh ride and taking in the festiveness of the resorts!
Congrats on securing Cape May Cafe and I love that you are going to go with the flow during the day. Can't wait to hear what you actually end up doing!
I'm pretty ok with skipping MVMCP this year! I'd like to do it, but it's so expensive, it just doesn't really seem worth it for such a short trip. As long as I can see the castle, then I'm happy!
I am so excited to go to Cape May again! Brandon actually confessed that it's his favorite Disney restaurant...I always thought it was Le Cellier, but I guess not!
I'm still here and totally relate to the "slow" updates. I'm only on the morning of Day 2 after two months writing! I also used to be much faster, but slowed down on the last two trips, so I know what you mean about feeling like you're losing readers. I think a lot of people are still around, but just lurking, though. I, personally, like the slower-paced TRs, because I have trouble keeping up with reading/commenting on the fast-paced ones.
Anyway, sounds like a nice finish to the 40th anniversary day. Very cool that you got special maps. We also experienced Cosmic Rays and the Magic, Memories, and You show for the first time on this past trip and, like you, really were impressed with both. That's really a bummer that they didn't add a more noticeable addition to Wishes for the 40th. I'm really hoping that the 50th anniversary has more special stuff...I've already decided that we will be spending our 16th anniversary at Disney (we share the October 1st date w/WDW, but 34 years later). Also, awesome that you got to ride BTMRR at night. That's one of my favorites to do in the dark. You get to see the little saloon all lit up and stuff. Very different experience than during the day. So nice of you guys to get that guy's camera bag and all to lost and found. I hope he got it back quickly!
Plans are looking good for your upcoming trip. We did the sleigh ride at FW last year and it was really cool. Literally. Hopefully it will be a more moderate temp when you guys go, but they do provide a nice blanket. It's insane to see how all-out some campers go with their decorating. Just...wow! Also, I definitely recommend the Epcot resorts for the decorations. Especially the Beach and Yacht Clubs...very cool displays!
I like slower paced TR's too, but I feel like if you get too slow, people forget about you!
I'm trying to find something in the middle!
Wow I can't believe your anniversary is also MK's! That's so cool! I really would love to go for the 50th, I bet it is going to be SO insane that day!
BTM is so much fun in the dark!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the sleigh ride, it sounds like so much fun! I hope it's not too cold when we are there, right now the weather says it will be in the 70's the whole time, which would be perfect!
I will definitely be checking out the Epcot resort decorations!
OMG thank you! I don't think I'm a good writer at all, I just try to spell things correctly and use proper grammar! 
I know this AP is probably a once in a lifetime thing for me, so I hope to take advantage of it as much as possible! 
yay: 
), and tonight is probably the last night I will have available! I cannot believe I'll be back in WDW in 4 days. Really. I mean, it doesn't even seem like it's actually happening. I don't think I'm really going to believe it until I'm on the plane. This might all just be happening in my mind still, where I have countless Disney trips planned.
