So list checking did work out... both times. 3/7/10 - FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PNO4TE]

I think this is hysterical... The system keeps telling me I have an Invalid Last Name when I try to book Christmas Eve or Christmas night. I figure Santa and his list are somehow involved in this.

 

[Flossbolna]

I am so sorry that this does not work for you!! I have read that peope had more luck calling for certain reservations. So I guess in about half an hour you will be talking to WDW-Dine anyway for the CP. I will cross all my fingers for you!!!! (or as we say in Germany: press my thumbs!!)

Elin, I'm so happy that your ADRs worked out...they all look great...

I've never been to Bluezoo but have always wanted to-that should be a great Christmas Dinner..., or Fresh either for that matter...

Are you going to right a TR...so we can live this trip vicariously?

I hadn't noticed the age difference between your girls before-Emily and David are 7 3/4 years apart...

Theu are lovely btw...

 

[oybolshoi]

Ah, here you are! Bluezoo is awesome ... you will have a terrific dinner there!

And now, I'm sorry, but I have to go back to October ... even though this is only September.

I plan to write a TR, Patricia. It may be like the one I did last December, which was a series of slideshows. Or, if I have time, I might write a normal one like yours!

We waited a long time to have both our daughters and love the age difference. Our older daughter has always said that Kristin is hers because she waited so long for her to come. She wanted a baby "just like her" to be her sister. It is all she asked for many years for Christmas and her birthdays.

Speaking of lovely daughters... Emily is gorgeous. I think she looks a lot like Helena Bonham Carter! It took me forever to find a picture that was appropriate to post!!

 

[John's Mom]

I'm so glad that you got all your ADRs (even though it only took you four hours). Erin and I have a reservation at Blue Zoo. This will be our first time there.

Also, I love the idea of more slideshows if you do a Christmas TR.

I am glad you get to try out bluezoo in December too.

Since Bob decided that he didn't want to go in October, I wasn't too sad that it ended up on our itinerary for the Christmas trip.

 

[PNO4TE]

Our older DD (Kathrin) is perusing all the ADRs I made over the weekend and will then decide when she wants to fly into MCO.
I put Coral Reef earlier in the week as a bit of temptation. We will see if Yak & Yeti has as much draw.

I was getting the same message the other day.

 

[PNO4TE]

There has been talk amongst the many DIS friends that are going to be at the World the first weekend in December (my 48 hour trip) about doing a group shot in the Studios before we eat lunch at Mama Melrose. There was a discussion about ToT.

I will photoshop myself into that shot before I would sit in that ride!! Maybe we can get a shot of all of us at Star Tours or Muppets or in front of the HAT or something less terrifying!

 

[PNO4TE]

I will be glad, in a way, when our F & W Festival trip is done. I have things I need to do for this holiday trip that I just can't find the time to do now.

I have to plot our driving trip. It is not difficult... I-95 South! But we will need one or two night's accommodations for the trip down and one on the way home. I will be getting on that on October 9th!

Apparently our AP rate is a very good one. The new package deal WDW is offering would cost us a lot more than we will be paying in total for what we have now.

I am glad I booked in July!

 

[ChelleinNC]

Just found your new report and I'm jumping on board. I love your Christmas photo from last year. You have a beautiful family Elin. We'll also be at the 12/20 8:15pm show for the CP...so see you there! We're doing Tutto beforehand...so only one country away. LOL!

ETA: I just realized we will see you Christmas morning too. We have 10:15am at Boma. I swear...we are not stalkers.

I'm a bad friendie, I just found the link

So cool that you'll be at the same show & meals!

95 South, turn right when you get to I-4

There's a nice Comfort Suites (only about 1 1/2 years old) on the North side of Savannah. It's a good price, and really nice rooms

We are at WDW for our annual F&W Festival Trip. I keep seeing things I want to remember to do when we come back in December. I keep wishing the girls were with us on this trip too.

Thanks for the pointer on the Comfort Suites. That is where we stayed last night in Baltimore by the airport. Lots of room and having it be a good price is also nice!!

I cannot believe our family trip is in 75 days! Wow!!

I can't believe you have to finish your F&W trip & Girls trip before you get to the family trip
