Hello all 
Welcome to my pretrip report. This is my second pretrip report on the Disboards - I really enjoyed doing my first one, it's fun to talk over all my trip planning because no one at home really gets it - which anyone reading this probably can relate to 
I hesitated to start this one though because I failed miserably at my actual trip report after our last trip - I was good for about half the trip and then never finished 
So, I'm going to be honest up front - I will not be doing a full trip report after our trip - I will come back and chat and give a summary - but that's about it. So - hopefully I'll have a few people to chat with on this report to help pass the time before we leave.
So the cast of characters for this trip:
Me and my daughter Maddie who is 8:
and my Mom:
My husband will not be joining us this trip. We have been to Disney 3 times in the last 6 years and he's enjoyed the trips, but he's good for awhile (I know, I don't get it either ) Maddie and I have been wanting to see the Christmas decorations, so he suggested a Mother/daughter trip. So I decided to really make it a Mother/daughter trip and ask my Mom to come. The 3 of us get along well - so it should be a great trip!
Our dates: 11/16 - 11/21. I wish it were longer, but I was trying to make it a shorter trip to keep from overdoing things for my Mom and this is a last minute trip for our budget this year - so I'm trying to minimize costs. So my challenge for planning this trip is to see what we want to see in 4 park days - but to not overdue it and exhaust everyone! Can that be done
We will be staying at Pop:
I'm hoping in building 4 lakeside:
We stayed there last time (October 2009) and it was perfect! Quiet, not to far from the buses or Everything Pop.
So I think I'll stop here for now - I hope a few people join along. Thanks for reading!

We have stayed at Pop 4 times. Great place!!
I'm going on a "girls only" trip with friends, then my mom and sister are coming down to join me!
I forgot you weren't on my pretrip report in 2009 - I'm glad you are here this time!
I'm also excited about the new Packer season - getting ready to watch them tonight
