PART FIVE!! *December 2012 Roll Call* Holidays, FLE & MVMCP!! A very, merry thread!

[Tltorrez]

Got the FP+ cards for our other room in today's mail, so now we all have cards. We're only using it for MSEP and Wishes but that could not have worked out better for us.

I'm not actually going to watch this. I want to be surprised.

I can't wait to ride this! Last visit to the World I was preggers do I can't wait to ride everything with the little red triangle!

I started really packing today. Rather than just stuffing things into my backpack so I didn't forget them, I put them into the appropriate suitcase/duffel bag. I sorted my toiletry bag making sure the things I need were in there and there weren't things I didn't need to tote with us. So far so good, I think I'll have plenty of left over room to bring things back.

I also finished stuffing my mousekeeping envys tonight. I finally had more singles.

8 more sleeps!!

 

[lovingeire]

We leave in 3 and a wake-up and I have yet to start packing us! I have to pack everyone since its a surprise trip! I really need to make a list & get started with the trip prep!

We'll be just across the water at BWI. I think we may be wandering through WS ourselves on Sunday now. I don't remember your dates but we'll be there 10-17.

We are there 13-19th- if you see a tall lady with brown hair & glasses wandering by herself in the WS on Sunday, it's me!

Hi all! Checking in on our day one. We had a few setbacks today, but I a remaining positive!
We had to wait almost an hour to get on a ME bus, but we got a front row seat.

And Wilderness Lodge was the first stop!

Our room wasn't ready so we headed to MK. They were still taping for the parade.

That's Maria Menounous introducing Lady Antebellum.

After that we headed to FL to try to ride the Little Mermaid. Big mistake! No FP so it took over an hour. Plus it was 4 and we still hadn't received a text that our room was ready. We left MK and our room was ready! We waked in the door and DH turned on the ceiling fan and the smoke alarm went off! We called the front desk and someone quickly came up and changed it.

We ended up going to downtown Disney and getting a seat at the bar at Raglan Road and enjoying a cup of beer cheese soup each and splitting Heaven on Earth Ribs (so good).

I had the this for dessert at Ghirardelli.

Hard to see but it had chocolate and strawberries, yum.

I probably won't post this much everyday, but we are beat and decided to go back to the room early so therefore I had time to post. The weather is perfect by the way. Cool, but not cold.

 

[ksromack]

Is this what you are looking for?

That's it! Thank you! I'll print it on my lime green paper tomorrow Just about set for next saturday now

I love that front seat on ME

Sorry you had some rough parts to your day, but that just means it'll get better from here :

If I see you I'll give you the Dis boards gang sign.. (I'll wave hi!)

I'm an average height and average weight blonde, DBF is 6' and pooh sized. I will have a LGMH on my bag.

 

[ksromack]

Here is a pic of my munchkin, we are about to board the plane and he is pumped!

I LOVE that shirt!!! What a cutie!

What time is the dessert party? You've been planning that for a while. I think you should enjoy it.

Dessert party is at 7pm. They'll have to roll me out of there to see MSEP!

So I wasn't going to leave the house this weekend. But CVS lost one of DS's prescriptions. So I went to pick it up and buy a few last minute items. and this jumped into my cart.

It lights up, moves and plays Christmas carols. I have no idea how Im going to fit this in my luggage.

That is so cute! It's so funny how it jumped into your cart.....almost like kismet.

I love it!!! There CVS isn't that far from here, but all the other cute things everyone has found at Wallgreens and such I haven't.

Me either.....I've yet to find Mickey window clings!

We just did OCL!!! It's made it so much more real!!!

I know. I did it today too.

We are there 13-19th- if you see a tall lady with brown hair & glasses wandering by herself in the WS on Sunday, it's me!

We're having lunch at Via Napoli at 11:30 on that sunday.......We'll probably do some strolling to see any of the storytellers we missed at that time!

Awesome view!

And Wilderness Lodge was the first stop!

Just as beautiful as I remember it!

That's pretty cool that you were so close! Love Lady Antebellum!

So you had a little excitement! I bet the Little Mermaid was awesome!

Sometimes a nice beverage is all you need! Oh, and the ribs probably didn't hurt either!

Be still my beating heart.

Here's hoping that tomorrow goes a little more smoothly!

Thanks for the update and pics! I'm definitely going to have to try that Beer Cheese Soup!

So, DW still doesn't actually know we're leaving for WDW on the 26th. She thinks our next trip isn't going to be until summer! Wonder how I should tell her?

You should wrap something for a christmas present.......like a tshirt or something.....then tell her that would look awesome in a picture in front of Cinderella's castle.......or wrap the tickets!

If I was to go the "something wrapped" route it would have to be something I already have, as we're driving down, so no plane tickets and we'll be getting our park tickets at the hotel. We do have a Pal Mickey, maybe I can wrap him up with a note saying he has to go home right away!

I like that!

Do you think it's okay to have a bamboo rolling pin in my carry on? I mean, it's not sharp or anything but I suppose it could be used as a weapon?

The TSA has a very long list of banned items on their website. I'd check that if I were you, but my gut instinct is they probably won't let it on in your carry on.

 

[WedgieSock]

OH.



MY.



GOD.


Got all the inside decorations out at around 12pm. Whole living room out of action - its FULL. Start decorating. Oh, guess what? I've just finished .... for the night! Its 11pm. Which means - YAY - more decorating tomorrow

That'll teach me for raiding the clearance section after Christmas each year.

I think we need to list all those at POR in the next few weeks. I know Sean (BDL) is there as well as Wedgie, me, Maddie's Nana, and Mom2Travel. Who did I miss and what section are you staying in along with dates? I'll start and will copy and paste so it's all together.

ksromack (Kathy) POR AB? Dec 9-17

Wedgiesock POR Royal Guest Rooms, Oak Manor Dec 7-13

I love that! But as far as I know no December DIS'er is staying at the YC during my week, so it won't do me any good. I'm all alone over there.

Ahem - we could see you in the parks! Wear one!

 

[WedgieSock]

Hi neighbor

Here's me & DD. my hair is curly when it's down.
Say hi if you see us

I will definitely say Hi

It's the night before my trip and yep I'm wide awake. Still haven't finished packing. I did lay out all my bathroom stuff so I can pack it after I use it tomorrow. I also have all the wash caught up so if shouldn't take me long to pack up tomorrow. I'm not sure why but I volunteered to help at 'Taste of Christmas' at church tomorrow. Basically it's a social event after service. I need to be there at 915 and probably won't get home till lunch time, aaahhh, we'll last minute packing is more my style anyway. And DH said its ok since we are driving if we forget anything we can go get it. I don't want to forget anything because once we get there I am not going to want to leave property, lol.

I can't wait to spend the week with my husband.
