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

[Tltorrez]

My wife and I are so very envious of you all! We can not vacation at WDW this Christmas--- first time in three years. Both of us have had surgery and are not fully recovered yet. We are beginning to plan a December, 2013, trip and will get on-line to make reservations on Dec 25th as a gift to each other. Anyone have experience eating at WDW after gastric bypass surgery? We enjoy table service restaurants like Tony's in MK, Yak and Yeti in AK, Hollywood Brown Derby in HS, and, of course, Le Cellier in Epcot. Will they let two adults share a meal since we can only eat small portions? Can gastric bypass patients order from kids menus at places that have them? Any experience/advice will be appreciated since eating a leisurely meal is a must for us at WDW.

If you're paying OOP and not on the dining plan you can share whatever you want. Not sure about kids meal. Try contacting Special.Diets@DisneyWorld.com. They're really great about special conditions.

Is SOTMK a card game? Hubby is interested in this and I've not paid attention to the specifics!

Yes. Check out SOTMKblog.com. He has all the details.

I thought maybe I had just missed it since I've barely been on the last 2 days. Hope everything is okay and she's just busy!

Yep. She said her DH should know about the vacation time on Mon. Hopefully she's just busy and it's not anything bad keeping her off the board!

That's an awesome gift to each other and gives you something to look forward to all year. Many of us have been on this roll call nearly a year now, so we know the wait isn't too too bad!

Hey guys I would love to join, last min. trip Nov 30- Dec 4th. Still trying to get Sat at AKV or else I am going to throw in the towel and book doubletree. Never stayed at doubletree but the reviews are great. AKV is my second home I love it! Cast ....Me, DH, DIL ( whose is carrying my first grandbaby!!!!) yes I am excited DD and SIL, he has not been since he was 5 and after my DD begged him to go still says "but I won't have fun" we will see about that None of them have been at Christmas so I am excited to show them around. My DS is a Marine and deployed to Afgahnistan right now so we are spoiling our DIL as much as we can since this is a very emotional time for her (and us). Just saw that someone posted the weather which affects part of our trip.... all rain hope that changes.

What a nice trip and gift to DIL. Hope your son comes home safe soon. Welcome to the Roll Call.

This morning I checked the long range forecast. I know those things change from day to day, but I was thrilled with how it is right now! Looks like shorts and tshirts for us after all. In case you're going around the same time, here's how it's looking for our week (gotta love no rain until our last/half day!)

Thursday, Dec 6

Friday, Dec 7
Mostly Sunny
80/59

Saturday, Dec 8
Mostly Sunny
79/59

Sunday, Dec 9
Mostly Sunny

Monday, Dec 10

I really hope the 7/8th remains sunny and warm. I actually enjoy the parks in the rain but I really want to snorkel on Castaway cay!

Feeling slightly less stressed now, as my TA emailed me that the correct Mickey Mail arrived at her office yesterday and she overnighted it to me today. One less thing to worry about since I'm now in single digits!!!!

Yay!

Wow what an awesome dmil to be taking your kids on a babymoon at Disney!


Lcaemom, so excited for you! What a special way to celebrate 12/12/12! Whatever he chooses to go with, you'll have to take notes so levenhopper can take notes.

She replied to my PM- she will stop by later.

Phew... Valgoof is safe & sound

Hello!! Sorry to worry everyone, but thanks for the concern. I have been on here a little bit today and read everything, just didnt comment. There is no news to report and honestly, it is frustrating and a little depressing. DH spoke to his boss, but the bigger boss is on vacation so he wont know anything until next week. So it is really hard to get caught up in the last minute planning and excitement, when I dont know what is going on. It is looking more and more likely that either I will go solo on our original week or we will go the week before. I will try to comment more so you know I am alive. . Good news is tomorrow I am shopping with DB and then we have Thanksgiving, more shopping on Friday and then OSU vs Michigan on Saturday, so I will be busy the next few days.

Whew! I'm not sure which scenario I will hope for for you. I know it's frustrating but what can you do? Keep busy.....Thanksgiving should be a nice distraction then before you know it you'll have some answers. I know you can get some ADRs for the week before if you guys end up going that week.

Anyone else just a little overwhelmed with all the Disney treats to choose from? Not only are there all the old yummy standbys, but all the seasonal treats now too! I don't know how I am going ti fit all this food in! DH is so picky so it will be me alone eating most of the yummy things I have heard about. Plus I am going to be overwhelmed with trying to track all this stuff down! I really should make myself a key as I read about all this goodness.

Oh and by the way, 11 days!
