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

We spilled the beans to the kids tonight! We were going to get our oldest from school early tomorrow & tell them then but couldn't wait! It was priceless! Our two year old didn't get it but had a great time yelling and running in circles with his big brother. The oldest was priceless and didn't realize we were going so soon! It was awesome! And I still have to finish autograph books!

Aw, yay fun!!!

in a total christmas mood tonight. We popped in the Celtic Women Christmas DVD, LOVE that live in Dublin show.

Now I'm streaming christmas music online.

I actually got out of the office and into the field today, it was a beautiful 76 and sunny day, perfect for field work. Little warmer than a normal Dec, but it was absolutely beautiful!

It was about that temp here in StL too! Way too warm for December.

I just got the cards today. I hadn't received an email or anything prior to getting them. I might only utilize them for TSMM, LOL!

I'd love to use them for the Main Street Electrical Parade and Wishes, but we were going to do that our first night. Now I have to decide if I want to completely re-arrange the world.

Okay so you just got the cards in the mail....you haven't gone to the website to schedule the FP attractions yet? I'm doing it backwards.....I filled out my attractions for the FP+, now I just need to get the cards! So what they are mailing out are empty FP+ cards? I'm so confused!

I am pretty much ready to go. Only problem? I still have 5.5 days to go!!!

wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Note I say .5 because today is nearly over. So there. hahah.

I'm right there with ya! I guess I can say we have 4.5 days!

That's so much fun! I know there isn't anything better than the feeling a mom gets when she knows how excited and happy her children are. Hold tight to those memories......because they become teenagers eventually.

I've been super busy with work - and still fighting off this cold/sinus stuff - but trying to at least read each day and keep up with everyone.

Val - so glad you finally got confirmation of your trip and that you have a job after the first of the year. I would say you have had an exceptionally good Monday.

Lcaemom - Very exciting to hear about the ring size question. I told you there must be some reason dbf wanted to be at MK at night! Here's hoping for lots of magic!

Terri - Excited to see you made it. Have a wonderful time.

QueenElinor - glad that your puppy is doing better.

As for that cupcake, that just looks stupid good! Count me in.

I never got an email. I suppose if I'd gotten an email I could have filled out my options before getting the cards, but I did it the other way around.

Edit: So I got the cards, wen to the web site, and scheduled my stuff.

Did you see this from Josh re: Test attack: @easywdw: It's going to take a Christmas miracle to get this hunk of junk working in four days

Only DISers could get so excited about a picture of the inside of a bus.

*lol*

I was going through my memory cards and cleaning them out when I came across this family photo from our trip last October.

Can't wait to get back there in 12 days. Woohoo! And, for the record I have packed those cute little bishop dresses again this year. But, something tells me I will never convince the girls to wear them this time.

I also adore Celtic Woman, have the Christmas show on itunes- that would be a great one to take with us on the ipad to watch on the way to WDW. I just wish Walking in the Air was in that show! That's one of my favorite Christmas songs.

Huh. So how long can we fiddle around with our scheduling, do you think? Right up until it starts?

Congrats Valgoof!! Awesome day indeed!!

How are some of you posting pics to a dis thread over the phone?

I use Flickr. There's an app but I've just been uploading from the website.

Hey, all of you lucky December Disers who are already there- would you keep an eye out for any unique Christmas ornaments? I had heard there was a glassblower in the Germany section who would make personalized ornaments. Generally, an ornament is all I am sure to buy when we travel, because I am The Anti-Shopper.

Well, my peg-legged pooch is doing much better today, and these great pics and reports from everyone who has already arrived are so exciting- now I'm finally starting to look forward to this entire endeavor!

I'm going to Target and buy up a bunch of Disney cards with my Target card (that's like getting a 5% discount off everything at Disney), and pick up some odds & ends. Then download another DIsney movie onto the ipad, and order a Disney Trivia book from Amazon to get them in the spirit while on the plane. My sis sent the kids Disney gift cards for Christmas so with all this I think I've got the "goody" bag pretty well handled.

Just walked past the German holiday shop. It's pretty big. Do you have a German pickle ornament? Those are popular.

Glad your pup is doing better.

Yay! At least now you can do the autograph books in front of them.

He said the ride has the same mechanical problems as before and now it has new tech problems. Sounds like its just not ready.

He is definitely not too impressed with it. Hope they get the issues figured out ASAP.
