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

[SAT887]

I don't really drink either, so we can drink Coke around the WS together! And document what everyone else is doing for future blackmailing needs!

I can only do about 2 glasses of wine in public - I'm a lightweight these days - so I would probably be eating my way around shortly after I start!!

Yay! You have any pictures?

I should get mine cut soon too, but I just need a trim and to get the long layers back in.

ok, I haven't caught up on today's post yet but wanted to let anyone going the first week in December that I found a 9am CRT and an 835 CP breakfast reservations for 12/5. I actually scored an 8am CRT for that same day. The CM I spoke to at Dining was astounded at how many CRT's she saw open for that specific day. So either someone was making major cancellations or something, I have no idea. So if you are still stalking get on there and check it out!!!!

I scored our before park opening CRT ADR just a few weeks ago too!

I have a quick question, I saw a video of the MVMCP parade and you can see the castle from the behind. Where did this person stand to get that great footage?

thanks again!

Were they are ground level or up higher? I'm not sure of what footage you speak of but could it be from the train station at the end of Main St or somewhere at the end of Main Street?

Maybe he wants to be in MK after dark to pop the question as the fireworks go off. Wouldn't that be romantic?!

I actually thought the same thing......I'm picturing him asking you to marry him as the fireworks are going off and you being mesmerized by the fireworks and totally not listening

I know I already posted about this but....

Good Afternoon! Hope everyone is having a good day so far. This morning I was up bright and early to meet a friend for Breakfast at Shady Maple Smorgasboard (a HUGE buffet), since it's my birthday my meal was FREE! BONUS! So we chatted and ate and chatted and ate some more. I won't need to eat for a WEEK! Well I came home and my boys weren't home from my Mom's yet so I decided to stalk ADRs in hopes that Birthday Pixie Dust was around and oh my goodness was it ever. I got both CRT and CP (MK) to show for 835am!! But it was asking me to pay in advance for CRT. Knowing I was using my dining plan I didn't want to pay over $100 OOP right now (even though I would have gotten it back) so I called Disney Dining to ask what to do. So the CM searched and actually found me an 805 at CRT for 12/5. AHHHHHH!!! I snatched that baby up! She was so surprised that she found 2 breakfast ADRs and a few lunch ADRs for CRT for the same day....someone is doing some major cancelling or replanning. But Pixie Dust for me I finally got my pre-park opening ADR for MK! I am beyond excited and my planning is OFFICIALLY done. We will end up having to rearrange some of our dining and pay OOP for at least one meal so I am off to figure out which meal would be cheapest to pay for. Anyone hoping for an ADR, get on there today and check....you never know what may pop up!

Happy Birthday!!!! so nice you got some extra pixie dust on your special day! I keep trying for a CP breakfast. I have Kona booked (actually have 2 of them booked)...but I'd gladly cancel the first one for CP pre-park opening! We're paying oop for meal our first day (since our package doesn't start until the next day) AND we're paying for Kona both breakfasts.....but that one seems to be the cheapest meal all week. We're doing a lot of signature meals and Candlelight Processional packages.....paying 2 ts each really cuts in to the plan!

Thanks for inviting me to join. I'll go read later.

I clicked on your PTR and said, "I know them!" I've been reading you zombie apocalypse tr! It's great btw, and I'm signed on for your next one. We are living our Christmas at disney dream bc of some $ our FIL left us for "fun" in his estate.

 

[ksromack]

I need some pixie dust and good thoughts for DH in about half an hour, please.

So as usual, I am late to the party......hoping everything went well!

Hey everyone, question for all of you.

Since I'll be spending my honeymoon in the world, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for things I MUST do (with a focus on the romantic/surprising for the new wife.)

I already have a holiday sleigh ride booked, and informed all dining reservations that it's our Honeymoon.

Unfortunately, we're staying at Bonnet Creek so I can't do anything in room Disney magic.

Any ideas?!

I think the sleigh ride will be wonderful.....what about spending a few minutes sitting in the nice rocking chairs in front of the fireplace at WL on your way back from the sleigh ride? Doesn't the boat take you from the campgrounds to WL? I know you can bring a beverage on the sleigh ride too so a nice bottle of Asti?

Thank you!

Thanks! I got to start my day with breakfast and am going to end it tonight with dinner with another friend and then we are heading to a 10pm viewing of Breaking Dawn 2!!

but....anyone else crazy like me and going to see Breaking Dawn tonight????

We considered it BUT......this weekend I'll be at Mizzou at a football game with my sisters and we plan on seeing it Sat night after the football game. We did the same thing last year after a Mizzou football game. It was lots of fun! I can't wait to see the movie. I was so sad when I was done with the last book!

Haha, that's so cool that you've been following my Zombie TR! Thanks. Hope you're going to join in on the conversation in the PTR. How nice that we are both getting to live out a Disney dream due to some money left to us. Well, not nice circumstances, obviously. I jsut meant the fact that we share the same reasoning. I see in your signature that you have a PTR, I'll go check it out!

 

[SAT887]

Yay! You have any pictures?

I should get mine cut soon too, but I just need a trim and to get the long layers back in.

Maybe tomorrow too exhausted tonight!

[M&MGirl1]

Ok that did not go well at all. Nothing has changed, just had a chance to guarantee we go our original week. But it didnt happen, so we wait until Monday.......

Well.....DRAT. At least Monday isn't too far away.

 

[M&MGirl1]

Here are the chocolate cookie cutters I made today ... I have chocolate marshmallow in the fridg when they harden I will take a picture of them.

The M&Ms are mint the others are just chocloate and sugar crystals.

Coolest idea EVER! I am soooo stealing that for office gifts!

We are going December 7th thru the 14th. So add me!
Myself and my DS (4) and DD (1) are going with grandma and staying at the all star sports.

We just went in May (DH came that time) and had a blast. Grandma wanted to take the grandkids at Christmas time (we used to always go then). So we are meeting up with some of the other grand kids and aunts and uncles.

I was able to get an early entry early breakfast for each park! I was surprised as this wasnt' an early planned trip.

And this year we will be doing the Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert party to watch wished. I figure that would be easiest for the kids and a nice treat to take Grandma too.

I can't wait!!!

Wonderful! WElcome to the group!

We'll be there Dec. 8-16.

Doing a split stay at Poly and BC (our first time staying deluxe).

Have only been once in December (but it was 24 years ago).

Treating my parents to 8 days of deluxe dining and have some great ADRs lined up ('Ohana, Kona, Jiko, Citricos, Artist Point, Flying Fish, Yachtsman, Cali Grill, HBD).

Also planning on doing Fantasmic (dinner package), Osborne Lights, MVMCP (including the new castle projection show and Holiday Wishes), and Illuminations, none of which we've ever done before.

Now we just need the weather, flights, and everyone's health to hold up!

We will be there 12/6 - 12/15 for my birthday (on the 8th)!!!

I think you've hit most of the signature ADRs! We overlap most of our days.....welcome to our group!

I was at it again today another DIY Christmas Gift project this time with chocolate. I would love to post picture and get you guys opinions, I can't post on FB or the recievers will see them. Dont want to drive you guys crazy tho. I have another chocolate project when DD gets up because I am gonna let her help.

Oh, I LOVE christmas projects! We just said at work yesterday that we'd like a craft day!

Abby and I have tickets to see the midnight release showing of the Hobbit on the Thursday night/Friday morning...and our flight leaves Friday at 8:45AM. Throw in Epcot PM EMH and we have a long day ahead of us. But I doubt either opus would have slept much anyway...we'll be too excited to sleep!

Hubby is DYING to see the Hobbit......I think it comes out during our vacation too......but alas, I can't find an opening to squeeze it in! We fly back home on Dec 17th and we're both off work on the 18th. We'll try and see it then.

 

[ksromack]

Wait. You have Carrie Underwood on Wed, Hobbit on Thurs and then leave for Disney Friday morning???

I think they are squeezing in 10 years worth of dating in the month of December........

We're going to see it the day after we get back (14th) - we have to see it, its the law in our house. Anything to do with LOTR/Hobbit because I was named after one of the characters .... I'll tell ya, being a girl I scored BIG time, if I had been a boy I was going to be called Aragorn or Gandalf HA!

These look wonderful! Is it fudge of sorts? The cookie cutters are bonus! Maybe I'll make something like this for my co-workers!
