Ok, here are the last three days of our trip
Friday Dec. 18:
This is another day I have planned to start at DTD. We will again do breakfast in the room. This day we will go DTD and have an ADR at my wifes favorite place, Planet Hollywood. She usually does all the planning and ADRs and we have eaten at Planet Hollywood twice the last two years. I like to buy their picture package for my desk at work.
It will look nice right next to the other two years. We will probably go to a few resorts along the boardwalk on our way to Epcot. We will spend the rest of the day here riding my boys favorite rides. Dinner is another ADR at Le Cellier. My wife says it is a little late; it is planned for 9:15 PM. She says this will put us here after the park closes, but I think this will be a great opportunity for us to take our time.Does anyone have any favorite resorts along the boardwalk that are must sees??
With this being our last day at Epcot, anything you think is a must do I havent mentioned??Saturday Dec. 19:
December 19th is my birthday!!!
I have planned for us to have breakfast in our room. Then it is off to the Magic Kingdom, where I will have this day to do anything I want. 
I will probably choose to spend most of the morning at Tomorrow Land doing Buzz. I love doing this ride with the boys. Each one likes to take turns riding with either me or my wife and try to beat us. I have never known where all the Easter Eggs are, but I still manage to beat them every time. One year, the ride stopped while we were in the big room near Zerg and we all maxed out our points. It was great!! I have planned for us to do two counter services this day. Lunch will be at Columbia Harbor House or Peco Bills. Dinner will be at Cosmic Rays. Since this will be the last day we spend at the parks, we will try and take it all in. The last day always brings tears to my eyes. I am an emotional guy; the stupidest things can bring tears to my eyes. My wife always laughs at me, except for this day every year. I know she hates to show emotion, but if she did, she would cry too. The only thing I can think we have to do, which will be a perfect way to end our trip, is Holiday Wishes. What trip would not be complete without doing Wishes to end your trip. 
It will give us an opportunity to see the castle lighting ceremony, which I think will only be the icing on the cake. (Just writing about our last day is sad.)
Is there anything I am missing?? Sunday Dec. 20:
This will be a very sad day for all of us. We will pack, clean the room, check out and check our luggage all before 8:00 AM. We always eat breakfast at Chef Mickeys before we leave the park. It is a tradition that I will not change. The boys love the interaction with all the characters.
They also love all the pictures!! Breakfast is a planned ADR for 8:30 AM. Since our flight is not until 4:00, this will give us a perfect opportunity to travel around the monorail and see all the Christmas decorations. If we have time, we would love to go to the Wilderness Lodge. Time always seem to go too fast on the Sunday before our flight. I hear the Grand Floridian is a must see!!
Anything else you think we should do?? Think I have planned 9 days packed full of fun?? I will eagerly wait read all your thoughts and ideas.Well, that is my trip planned out for you. I have 6 weeks that will go by like 6 months. In the next 6 weeks, I will probably post a few pics form our last two trips and give some highlights. This will give me some practice because I plan on doing an Official Trip Report when we get back.
I bought a new camera for this trip. It is a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1. It has a 20x Optical zoom and shoots in full HD Movie 1080p. I bought an 8 GB memory card to catch everything I can. This thing also has the ability to shoot 10 fps Bursts with a mechanical shutter. I hope to catch some great pics. My wife will take her laptop, so every evening I can download and backup everything. Her laptop has the ability to burn CDs which I think is awesome. The last two years, we have used a Kodak Easy-share camera. We had one that was a few years old and the pictures were getting a little blurry so we bought a new one just for our second trip; however, my wife dropped it right after Christmas last year. This gave me a perfect excuse to buy a new camera with quite a few nice options.After reviewing and reading the first 35 pages over on the Official CSR page (thanks KatMark), I am also thinking about which buildings to put as preference. In my next rambling, I will give my thought and ideas to which buildings we are leaning towards. After I make that post, I will be eager for KatMark to give me their thoughts and ideas.
Again, thanks for following along with me and giving me some great ideas. Until next time

KatMark can answer this question for me... 
worry
about packing these things, it will make my life that much easier. I am sure my wife will pack her things, but me and the boys would make due with what would be provided.
we will be charged for each piece of baggage.
I think it might be easier (and cheaper) if we replace the boys' small suitcases with two larger suitcases. We usually get two pieces of luggage per person and take six peices. My wife and I have our two larger suitcases and two smaller ones and the boys have their small one's each. They are 10 & 9 and I feel they each can pull a larger suitcase since they will only need to take them from the hotel shuttle in Indy to bag check at the gates. With ME, they take care of the rest
