Yep - looks pretty good ... though it might be a tad cool for the pool (this yule ...) ...

Jeans, sweatshirts and light jackets ...

... and all the magic the DD's can handle ...

I have been so busy getting ready that I havent had time to post!!
We are almost there... only 1 1/2 days to go!! The suitcases are packed!! All I have to do is throw in my make up bag on Saturday AM!! Tommorow I take DD to school and I get to go for a massage and a pedicure!! And I told DH we are ordering pizza for dinner! I am so excited at this point, I cant contain myself. I got a good laugh at DD this morning on the way to school. She was asking me what we were doing on Sat. when we get there. So I told her that once we are there, she and DH are going to rest while SIL & I take a cab to the grocery store...she proceeds to tell me, and trust me you had to see the hand and face movement to appreciate it completely " MOM IT IS DISNEY WORLD...You dont need to rest! You never get tired there, it is too much fun!!!" OK I hope to post more tommorow!! Cant wait to get to Florida!!

[joelp]

I tried to get some pics up for you before you left. I did get a few posted tonight, but it takes so long to upload the pics.
Just wanted to send you lots of pixie dust and say enjoy the magic. My kids loved the dance party inside Cosmic Rays during MVMCP. We had a very cold night and it being inside felt wonderful.
Get ready for seeing the castle lights, it will literally take your breath away. Just amazing.
Make sure you take your DD to Camp Minnie Mickey, the characters are so adorable in the holiday outfits.
Have a safe and magical trip

Hi! Just read your entire PTR, I was there the same week you were. Hope you had a magical trip!!! Can't wait to hear all about it!!

 

[joelp]

Missed you at 1900 Park Faire and the MVMCP ...

We got shunted off to a side room, so we didn't get to wander around too much ... but we did get some up close and personal attention from Lady Tremaine and her daughters!! Our DD was acting up a little that day - so we warned her that they were looking for someone to replace Cinderella - and that solved the problem!! (Lady Tremaine asked her if she knew how to do housework ... )

Oh well ...

We had a good trip ... the TR is in the making ...and I'm already thinking about the possibility of a trip next Sept or Nov (depending on what kind of deals are offered ... )

Hope you had a magical trip, too ...

Glad you had a great time and sad that I missed meeting you all... We had some magical moments..and some not so magical. I think that after this trip I am done with WDW for a while, it seems to have lost some of its magic to me... I will do a trip report once I get caught up on some other things.

 

[joelp]

Same with us ... did those "unmagical moments" just happen to have something to do with a cranky DD ...?? Our DD actually had a cranky fit at Cinderella's Royal Table!!!

I think we had very high expectations -especially given the Holiday Season - and when they weren't quite met, it is somewhat of a letdown ...

But - last night, the DW and I started wartching the videos I shot - and you see all those little things that make a trip to WDW so special ...
So we may be going back in Sep (for my 50th!!! ... uh - make that - 13th ... ... birthday) ... or in November (during "Jersey Week" ... ) for the DD's birthday (... and the Food and Wine Festival ... ) ... and I'll be trying to make either of those trips a Grand Gathering for some extra magic!!

After that - I think we'll be Disneyed-out for a couple years ...

Though we do have a bunch of relatives in FLA who live only about 1.5 hours from Orlando, so day trip is always a possibility ...

Have a great Christmas - and a wonder-filled 2009!!

No actually DD did wonderful...the unmagical moments I had were mostly due to rude cast members...and large crowds! I will try and start a trip report soon

I hope you had a super trip. Sorry to hear there were some unmagical moments, but I hope the magical by far outweighed the bad.
I know we spend so much money and time planning and look forward to these trips for a long time. We all have high expectations.

I can't wait to hear how MVMCP was for you. I have some of my own comments about that. I'm about to that point in my TR.

I always thought the crowds in Dec were low except for the week of Christmas. But I thought it was more crowded than my Sept trips were. A lady in the gift shop at Saratoga Springs told me that used to be the case, but now Disney puts a lot of specials and deals out there and it keeps it busy all of Dec.

Again, can't wait to hear about your trip and welcome back.

The crowds were much larger than in September..I think this will be our one and only Dec trip due to this. I loved some parts of it...especially the Osborne lights!!! AMAZING!! But the crowds were too much for us! And then to have rude cast members! And I mean RUDE!! I am going to start uploading pics to start a trip report soon.
