Our Holiday Trip to WDW

[Mandy91]

Great update!
The BW looks beautiful, I've always wanted to visit there. I really need to make an effort and stop by!
The German pretzels are so good, have to agree with Lauren there.
I'm sorry Lauren was sick. It's never fun to be sick at Disney. But I bet she was so excited to see the Jonas Brothers the next morning!
Looking forward to your next update!

I love disney at Christmas time too! Looks like you and the girls had fun. Looking forward to hearing more!

Disney does the holidays right! Thanks for joining in!

The German pretzel is my favorite snack too! But we were too full this time and I didn't eat one I'm sorry Lauren got sick...hopefully she was still able to enjoy the trip!! You KNOW I can't wait for the next installment!!

Girl - you can never be too full for a pretzel from Germany! Lauren always finds the room.

And I know what you're waiting for. Wait until you see!

Poor Lauren being sick in Disney World ):
Hopefully the Jonas Brother's made her feel better

I would say they did!

I'm joining in! Love all of your photos.

Thank you! I just got a new camera so I gave my old Sony cybershot to my youngest. Between the two of us, we took over 600 pix! So you'll see alot of them on this report!

I am absolutely loving your trip report! I cannot wait for more, thanks for sharing! On a side note...do you know if the The Cosmo Slushie is only for the holidays, or will it be a permanent addition? I hope so, I would love to have it when we go in March!

Thanks for reading!

The Cosmo slushie was replaced by the end of the week. The drink they were featuring was a pomegranate liqueur added to champagne. Can't remember what they were calling it though.

It's worth the trip to check out the BW. We love the whole area over there!

And yes, if there's one thing that can get my girls out of bed early, it's the Jonas Brothers. They certainly had her feeling better the next day.

With the rest of the mob:

Not at bad view at all! And Amanda wasn't squished!

They rehearsed this for about an hour. After each take, they would walk back up the catwalk, to get in position again.

Oh crudlets, I hate getting into an awesome TR only to realize it is still so early - I'm so impatient waiting for more!

I loved reading how you got the parade taping tix, I read that thread also and I'm glad to get some closure -- to read the report of someone who got some tickets. I hope Tink22 is reading!!!

Your pics are really outstanding -- a cut above, definitely! I enjoyed the pics of the BW lobby with the decorations, and that room is VERY nice -- i can see why you guys love it there!!

Sorry Lauren was under the weather, but sounds like she rallied. I'm (patiently) waiting for more!

I'm in!! We were there 12/6-12...I looked, but didn't find you. I'll see if we are in any of your pics...lol.

My BIL's family told us when they arrived on Sunday morning they had to take the train to the back of the park because, "They were filming something or other on Main Street." Hellooooo...the Christmas Day parade!!! Did you not listen to anything I told you during our planning cook outs?!

 

[stich626]

I wold love to be there for the parade. will have to keep an eye out when i watch it on Christmas!

 

[Camster0307]

Dang!

Some pictures from Lauren's camera:

Next installment.............the rest of our day at MK; dinner with Cinderella and her family.

It's so great you got to go to the taping.

 

[TinkerBell22]

Thanks for the report & pics. I'm so glad you & the girls enjoyed the parade taping & that the tickets made it to you. I was so afraid the hotel would misplace them.

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

The Jonas Brothers DEFINITELY qualify as being "proper motivation" to get up that early, LOL!! I loved all the pictures and am so glad that you were able to get up so close. How nice of that DISer to give you the tickets, too! I love that Joe waved to Amanda - they all seem so nice and after your stories it seems like they genuinely care about their fans. I look forward to hearing about the rest of your trip. What a start to the vacation!! PS What did they perform?

 

[ScotsMinnie]

Really enjoying your trip report so far. How amazing to be so close to the girls idols. Bet they will never forget that! In the UK we don't see the Christmas parade which is a shame as my girls would love it. Hope Laurens cough improves!

I'm hoping we can rent points and stay there next trip!

Then it was off to Germany for Lauren to get her favorite snack in all of Disney - the German pretzel!

We love those pretzels, too!

So cool about getting the passes for the parade taping!

Yay, another report with you and your girls!! Great pics. Looks like a fun time.

HaHa! Main street was packed so I don't blame them for turning around and leaving!

I wold love to be there for the parade. will have to keep an eye out when i watch it on Christmas!

It was definitely worth experiencing at least once. I'm glad we did it. It's weird to see the commercials for it now. We're excited because we know we're there in that mob!

It's so great you got to go to the taping.

It was a blast! I was glad to be able to do it.

Thanks for the report & pics. I'm so glad you & the girls enjoyed the parade taping & that the tickets made it to you. I was so afraid the hotel would misplace them.

The BW was quite efficient. I was so excited when they handed me the envelope. Thanks again. The girls enjoyed it so much.

They are VERY nice boys. And a great motivator for getting out of bed. They sang "Summertime Anthem". Not the most Christmas-y sounding song, but who cares? They're adorable.

Oh, that's too bad you can't see it. Youtube maybe? If I find a link, I'll post it here.

I'm hoping we can rent points and stay there next trip!




We love those pretzels, too!

We LOVE the BW; German pretzels; and now the parade taping. As long as the Jonas Brothers are there.

Yay, another report with you and your girls!! Great pics. Looks like a fun time.

Hey Mary! Welcome aboard! I have some pix of your favorite band member:

I'm not a creeper. We stood around for so long waiting for the Jonas Brothers that when the band came out, Lauren wanted me to get pix of the band too. Here are some more:

 

[Camster0307]

I can't believe I forgot to post my video.

We were asked not to take and post videos of the performance because they wanted it to be a surprise for the television viewing audience.

Being the good DISer that I am, I shall obey. But I will post this small snippet to just tease you and give you a hint as what to expect:

 

[MaryAz]

You remembered Thanks for posting those for me, I will show the girls in the am. They are always excited to see pics of their famous cousin. Can't wait until they are old enough to go to shows.

Of course I remembered, Mary. And you're welcome!

You better get those girls to a show next summer. Who knows what's happening after that. I hope they don't take a break.

I can't believe I missed your update! Loved those pics! I can't believe how close you got - so cool I will miss the parade this year, I'll be on a plane when it airs here. I hope I will be able to catch it online or something - I disconnected the TIVO as it didn't work with our cable box - haven't gotten another DVR yet.
