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

[WedgieSock]

I saw that. Not sure I can do 2 socks that don't match. I would have to buy 2 packs and then match them up.

I did see some cute ones on ebay. Searched under "ladies disney socks". I may be ordering some this weekend.

I actually did think that when I posted the link!

For our souveniers? The ONE thing I WILL buy, that I completely regret not buying in June, is an ESPN travel mug at Team Mickey store at DTD. It's pink and reads: "Yes, I'm a girl, Yes, I know the game, Yes, I watch Sports Center"... this will be the one and only thing I buy for myself.:

I need this, too! As of right now I am in first place in our all-boy (exc for me)
fantasy football league

Oh that's awesome! I'm dead last in BOTH I'm in. But I'm also doing Pick'ems and with that one I'm third out of 8. I'm looking forward to NFL Sunday at ESPN Zone during our trip. I think we'll need to have a break from the parks - I expect being the first weekend in December and parade weekend the crowds will "force" us to have to watch football...

Oh, I forgot about the Mousekeeping envelopes, I need to do mine too still. Thanks for the reminder!!!

And those FLE pics are nice. If its not too crazy I'm going to hope to get a CS meal at BOG, but who knows.

Great pics! Hey, do you guys think it is necessary to do the CS at BOG if we are already doing the dinner? The only time I could fit it in is on a day I meant to save for returning to favorite rides. I'm afraid we may need to return to DHS that day and I already have a late lunch ADR for Capt Grille

You go Kathy!!!!

I am not in a league this year, but I usually do terrible. I know sports, but I often pick my fantasy team with my heart, not my head.

Yes, I think you will need to watch football. Eating at ESPN ZONE is in the plan, but it's on a Wednesday so no NFL.

I say keep the ADR then decide after you have dinner there. I would think lunch would be a let down after dinner, but really who knows until we see it. Unless you just really like the lunch menu. And you can always eat lunch there on your next trip.

*Sigh* I feel you... Saints are the team I love to follow and it's killing me this year that they're starting out so horrible. To make matters worse, when manfriend and I were doing our draft for FF, he STOLE Brees from me! Right by my side too! I could've killed him! He was 7th in line to pick and I was 8th and he just took him! Just like that! and he doesn't even LIKE the Saints!

Oh that is so wrong!!!! DH would have been in BIG trouble!! My fave is Peyton Manning. I loved Brett Favre too (before all the retirement drama).

I know what you mean - I've been a Buffalo Bills fan for years and years - and it's killing me how they are not doing well again this year. Very tired of saying "Wait til next year"

So driving around in the mountains today enjoying fall foliage! We are enjoying the more tourist trap type areas today and I say to DH - "At least in WDW we are all tourists" as we are stuck behind someone going 15 under the speed limit....

So I have to say the biscuit comment WedgieSock actually made me laugh out loud... DH thinks I'm nuts- and doesn't know the true extent to my Dis obsession. I think I will keep it that way!!

And the homes at WDW are beautiful and so close. I thought about moving super close to WDW but we did that and I can say that where we live know has lost it's magic and isn't as special. So I think within 8 - 10 hours is a good number for me...

And speaking about muffins and biscuits I need to kick my diet into full gear bc all the extra sits around my waist (damn you kids and well the first 30 years of my life being overweight) I'm in the middle of my weight range but just want to tone more....

So I pre ordered Brave! Used my $20 off coupon and started Xmas shopping I got the Belle and Rapunzel toddler dolls for my girls, a Ariel deluxe dress up doll set (the little 3" plastic doll) and some Snow White dress up accessories for Halloween! Zoey will be Snow White and Olive will be Nemo!

Hello everyone happy Friday, so I went to disneystore.com just wanted to let all you shoppers they had Mickey ornaments glass 6 for 1.99. I bought ten packs they were too cut and original price was 19.50. So close yet so far!

 

[SAT887]

Hey guys! Just got an 8 day rental - full size from Dollar for $183 all fees included!

 

[My2Qtz0205]

DD's Merida dress came from the Disney Store today! I am so glad I splurged on their costume instead of the Halloween store/Target variations. It is sooo beautiful, and the perfect weight for Halloween night, (hopefully) no coat required!

MIL has even been shopping for our trip! She bought each of the kids a fleece hoodie. DS's is black, with the 2012 logo on the breast. DD's has Merida on it. She said she also bought them each a long-sleeved shirt.

My To-Do list:

Get more ponchos!
Order DD's Dr. Seuss dress from Etsy for our IOA day
Order our MVMCP shirts from Etsy
Buy our pearl cages
Pay off our balance on the rental house
Print off our party tickets
Decide whether or not to do PP+
Break it to the teachers/administration that the kids will miss 5 days of school

Darn! Everyone else must have realized this too. I went to the site and it would not let me put it in my cart. It says it is unavailable right now

Hey guys! Just got an 8 day rental - full size from Dollar for $183 all fees included!

We're flying in and staying on Disney property. We will take the ME to BWV and then have a limo booked to take us to our Disney cruise but we want a car for a day or two to do some shopping and visit the Olive Garden (from Canada and we don't have them anymore ) Has anyone rented a car on Disney property? Is it expensive? We just don't have a way to get a rental car back to the airport so we can't rent from there.

I've never rented on property, but I believe I've read about there being something near the swan & dolphin? There is a thread on December car rentals that three is a link to on the first page- if no one chimes in I bet if you posted it there someone can help. I imagine the rates are comparable and your best bet is to keep shopping around.
