I agree, pants in WDW are illegal!!!
I personally think one should always wear their pants. I think they frown on going pantsless....
Well, if Donald Duck doesn't have to wear pants, why do the rest of us?
thats more like it, live like donald.that is what i am hoping for.
where did you find the time about the castle lighting? is thisjus tknown, or did you read it somewhere.

Of course Tinkerbell is real. The nerve of some people. I bet he does not believe in pixiedust
either.
Your December plans sound wonderful.

I'm glad to see that your are doing MVMCP. I have been in beginning to mid Dec and really like it. You will need a sweatshirt just about every night - and that's coming from someone in the Northeast! We actually wore our winter coats at MVMCP one year! When we went that time of year wasn't that busy.
My fav part of the MVMCP parade are the Toy Soldiers. Osbourne Lights are really cool to see if you have never seen them before.

i'm really looking forward to disney at christmas. what i'm not looking forward to is explaining to my family that i will not be home for christmas this year, as expected. instead i'm going for thanksgiving. they don't understand my disney "thing". but they don't have to!
good point about tink!
Hello Dawn!!!!Memom sent me over and I just wanted to say HI!
I see you are going back in Dec....what a great time to go!
welcome!!! glad you're here! yes, i'm actually going back twice this year. i'm going back in september with vandyfan10 for a girls' trip. my AP expires on 9/22 and it's during free dining, so how could i say no??
and then i'm going back with DH and some friends in december....i can't wait! i'm very blessed this year. i know!!!! can you believe it? you'll see shortly!
thanks! i'm sure it will be just awesome. and i'm sure you'll be back during the holidays one day!
thanks! i love the teacup video just because of ray laughing in it - it cracks me up! thanks for joining in!!!
basically, i asked people what they did last year. there's no "official" time listed for this year, but if it's like last year then it's anywhere between 5:45 - 6:00.
see......this time next year i'll be jealous of you!!!
what's funny about the whole thing is that he could be mr. incredible's twin......a disney character! kinda ironic.
Of course Tinkerbell is real. The nerve of some people. I bet he does not believe in pixiedust
Your December plans sound wonderful.
i'm glad i have magic in my life!!!
I do enjoy a good stalking!
good, because i'm an EXCELLENT stalker!!!
glad to hear it wasn't too crowded. we are avoiding EMHs, so i think we should be good crowdwise. the only day i'm worried about is saturday at MK. but it's not like we have to ride EVERYTHING there, ya know? i hope we get cool enough weather to wear coats! makes it more christmas-y!
Those plans sound great!!!!!!!
What a weirdo! Tinker Bell needs to throw some pixie dust on him!
thanks! i'm excited about it!!!
tell me about it! i feel sorry for people with no tink in their lives!

so last time you were reading this, i had just picked my jaw up off the sidewalk after ray said he wanted to go to epcot before our dinner at narcoosee's! 
after we relaxed for about an hour, we cleaned up and headed out the door. i took this a la jason & brenda (oybolshoi) with the timer, but we were giggling so we don't look as classy as they do in their pics!
we decided to park at the boardwalk and go through the international gateway into epcot WS. only i got turned around and we ended up actually going into epcot's parking lot. i asked the attendant how to get to the boardwalk parking lot and he gave me directions, so we were there in no time. when i got to the boardwalk, the guard asked me for ID, then let me straight through. we parked in the first parking lot we found. i wasn't sure if there was designated parking, but i didn't see any signs. so we just parked wherever.
we walked through the lobby at the boardwalk and down onto the actual boardwalk. this was the first time either of us had seen this area. it's so cute! i wanna come back here and spend more time walking around. i didn't take any pics because i knew we'd be back here on thursday for dinner at spoodles. plus it was around 5:45 and our ADR at narcoosee's was 8:00, so i didn't want to linger at the boardwalk but instead get over to WS and take at least some of it in!
this was so pretty at the international gateway!
once we got into the park, we didn't go back through england and canada, but instead headed towards france. i figured we could walk around until around 7:00, then we needed to head back to the car and drive to the GF.
as we entered france.......
the first thing we did was head towards the kiosk with the famous french slushies and got a grand marnier orange slushie to share......so good!!!
we saw some neat little sitting areas near the back of the france pavilion and decided to check it out. they were so neat! they had them set up in the middle of all kinds of flowers for the flower & garden festival. i want one for my back yard now!
as we were sitting there, relaxing, a girl came up to us randomly and asked if we wanted her to take our picture. she was really sweet. she said she just loved taking pictures! so of course we said okay.
look who is hogging that grand marnier slushie.....
after we relaxed for a few minutes in this neat little area, we headed on to morocco. i just LOVED these flowers. so pretty with the moroccan decor!
we saw the genie in morocco....one of my FAVORITE characters...

on to japan.......
we stopped to watch the candy lady for awhile......so neat!
then we went into that ginormous store in the japan pavilion. ray loved this store! he's big into anime and old toys and stuff like that.
did you even know that you could still buy monchichi's???
there were so many cool things in this store! i loved the dinner ware and the tea sets and things! i didn't think to take a picture........sorry memom!!! i know how you love your shopping pics!
we also went into the tin toy museum or whatever it is. ray LOVED this too! he made me take TONS of pictures from in there to show his nephew. here's one of them.....
of course i had to take this picture......so pretty!
ray's got the whole......um......spaceship earth.....in his hands!
we walked through the american pavilion and there was a HUGE tour group there, so we kind of rushed through that area. next was italy. here's me and my old pal, neptune.
i love the architecture in italy......so romantic!
on to germany we went! we passed this topiary on the way......so cute!
wow.......those shoulder exercises are really working!!!
on the way to china, we passed the outpost thingie and this group was performing. they were really good too!!!
on to china! i thought this was so pretty!!!
and this roof is just unbelievable.
we didn't get to stay long in china before i realized it was time for us to turn back and head towards the international gateway and back to the car. we had a dinner ressie at narcoosee's for 8:00 and i wasn't gonna be late for that!
on the way back past the outpost, the performers there had gotten some company. i was cracking up taking this picture because these girls were HILARIOUS........i knew jordan would get a kick outta them!
a very cute lady and the tramp topiary we passed somewhere along the way out of the park.....
we walked back to the boardwalk and to the car and we were on our way to narcoosee's!!!!!!
next up......dinner and wishes at narcoosee's!!!

Yeah! I checked your TR before bed and there was an update!
I missed the candy lady in Japan. I guess we weren't there at the right time. That area in France was great for the F&G festival. We spent some time there at night enjoying some pastries! They were sooo good.
I saw your comment about being away from family at Christmas. A few years back I went on a cruise with a friend the week of Christmas. Not to take anything away from my family, I love them very much -- but that was a GREAT Christmas! I'm glad you will get to see your family at Thanksgiving.
I'm happy Ray decided to give Epcot another try. I really enjoy the WS -- there just aren't many places that have such varied architecture. I love just walking around. We stayed there late on an EMH day and when we were leaving we were some of the last people in WS. So pretty and peaceful at night.
Hope all is going well. Can't wait for more updates!

I'm really liking this TR. Especially the photography. I probably took about a million photos my last trip. Ok, maybe more like a thousand . I noticed in your last TR (last anniversary?) that Ray's first name is William. That's my late grandpa's name! William Ray. I thought that was cool. If you get ADRs at restaurant Marrakesh in Sept. or Dec. try the Baklava and Moroccan coffee if you get a chance!

Looks like you had a nice stroll around the world. I like the pictures of you "holding" spaceship earth.
Dawn, that dress is so pretty! I always feel so sloppy walking into the nice restraunts there in my capri's and drenched in sweat.
