Our Merriest Everest Christmas Photo TR 2007

Just found your TR and LOVE it! You remind me so much of myself and our family...we too caught the Disney bug last year on our first trip and can't wait until our 2nd trip in a few months. I would LOVE to be able to go every year...we'll see...we're going to be start to try for #4 during our next trip and I just can't imagine bringing a baby? we waiting until my boys were four for their first trip and we though it was the perfect age...but then again I also can't imagine not going to disney for over four year! :(...we'll see.

I love your TR...it's a dream of mine to go during the Christmas season...but not sure what I'd do about school? Did you pull your kids out of school or go during a break? what week were you there and how were the crowds? Can't wait for more!!!!:thumbsup2

So nice to meet you! What a blessing to have your precious sons and a new one on the way soon!

We have always brought our babies, but I totally understand people who do not. Several of my Disney crazy (like us) friends leave their babies when they are little with family and they have a great time. I have never been able to, I just want my whole family there together. But, I can see both sides on this.

I am so right there with your Christmas dream- I hope ya'll get to go! We pull our kids out of school. I have never had any problem doing it. It is a little easier now, because my kids go to a small Christian school. We went from Dec 1-9 last year. The crowds were fine ~ not as great as I had expected, but not bad. Everything that I had read had made me think it would be a lot less crowded.

When is your next trip?
 
Thanks so much! I LOVE the name Bella so much; I noticed it in your screen name.

I think it is so funny how excited that we all get about these trips- they truly are so special.

Her name is actually Isabella, and we call her Bella, but every since we took her to WDW for her 3rd bday, she says her name is Isabella Cinderella. It is hilarious, when someone asks her whole name she tells them Isabella Cinderella Marie ********. She is 5 1/2 now and still says that is her name!! :rotfl:

We were so excited to go back to the Magic Kingdom for the night. Main Street is truly beautiful decorated for the holidays.

Jack-Jack just LOVES the Pooh ride ~ He was such a trooper through this whole trip ~ he was exhausted, but he just kept going!

The boys wanted to ride Space Mountain. This always causes a problem for Giselle, because we felt that she was too young to ride it. (We learn later in the trip that we were really wrong about that :rotfl2: ) So, I promised Giselle a new pin while they went to ride. Then one of those proud parent moments happened (they can be arguing one moment and hugging the next ;) Giselle saw a pin that her brother had been looking to trade for in order to complete a set. She got so excited and decided to trade one of her pin's for him.

I took a picture so that I would always remember this!

Her brother gave her a big hug for doing that for him!

It was getting really late, so we decided to go home for the night.

We were greeted by this...

It doesn't get any better than this for our family:)
 
OhJack Jack looks exhausted....good for him for keeping going!It is amazing how siblings can fight one minute and do such sweet things for each other!
I am so counting down the days till December, it seems like we are just dragging along right now!
 
We woke up and it was MY BIRTHDAY in WDW!

DH brought me my morning coffee and I was in heaven. It was the PERFECT day ~ it was even a little cool, which I really liked! I was surprised at how warm it had been throughout the trip so far. This was a REALLY big day for us, because it was our FIRST MVMCP!

We decided to take TGM's advice and take it easy this day until the Christmas party tonight.

Giselle is happy to go to her favorite place- MK.

I bought this sweatshirt for Goofy on eBay for $3 ~ it is my BEST eBay deal to date. It had been worn one time.

Thanks to the Dis, we learned of the wonderful ways to use snack credits. We had breakfast at the Main Street Bakery often during this trip. It is so much fun to sit and watch others enjoying time together.

We watched the castle show together ~

Then we ran into my daughter's best friend ~ they were traveling at the same time and we ran into them three DIFFERENT times!

We enjoyed all the Fantasyland rides

Philharmagic is my FAVORITE show at MK

12-11-2007-115.jpg


One of our favorite memories at Philharmagic is when Goofy was younger, I do not remember exactly what age. He sat in the seat C-9. He told us after the show that HIS seat was unbelievable ~ that the things actually popped out at him! We thought that was so adorable, so we always try to get C-9 when we go. I know people do not understand this, because they ask you to move to the end of the row when filing in. We cannot always get it, but we try!

Then it was off to Toontown!

There he is pushing his sister to play again.

We decided to go back to the resort to rest up for our big night!

Through the whole trip, Giselle enjoyed spotting Hidden Mickeys. She thought she saw one in the concrete at the Movies resort- I took a picture of it because I thought this was TOO CUTE.

Next up will be dinner at Chef Mickey's and the Christmas Party.
 
I'm so glad you had a pin trading pic! My girls are going to start this year and I used the picture to explain to them how it works!! The breakfast at the bakery looks amazing!! I might steal that idea. :)
 
I just found your TR and am loving it so much! We are going in December and so am taking notes on what you've done. Our boys have never been to Disney (I know...bad parenting!) and DH and I haven't been in 11 years, so I can't wait to experience it all over again through my boys eyes! I love the way you describe your children's experiences, it makes me want to go with your family! Your TR also reminds me to take things easy and not push the kids to do too much. That will be hard for me I think. :confused3
Thanks again and I look forward to seeing more!

The pin trading has added SO much fun. We really love it so very much. My kids are on eBay all the time looking at pins ~ it keeps the magic alive. It can be expensive, but we try to space it out. There are a lot of good deals on eBay.

Please have breakfast on Main Street ~ you will be AMAZED at what you can get with a snack credit. It is like we get three meals when we do it this way.
