Hi PrincessV: Thanks for reading! You are very sweet but refreshed we weren't feeling either. It was more like sweaty and sticky from morning to night! I agree it was very warm and humid. My hair has some natural curl/wave and it drove me crazy...I would leave the hotel with my hair looking okay but within 30 minutes or so it would start frizzing and curling every which way. I hate that!!!
We went around the same time last year (Oct 4 - 14) and it seemed much hotter or maybe just more humid but whatever, it really seemed much worse to me last year.
I live outside of Atlanta and I was amazed at the difference in just 400 or so miles. Last year I was expecting warm but not 90 degress with 90% humidity everyday....I was really surprised at the heat. I guess I was mentally more prepared this time.
I would love to visit when it isn't hot and humid. I think it would be so much more fun not to be sweaty all day. Since you live so close...what do you suggest? How is early Dec? I would especially like to come and see the Christmas decorations. I was thinking sometime during the first 2 weeks of Dec. Have you ever been during that time? What are the crowds like?
I completely relate about the hair issues - mine's somewhere between wavy and curly... which means I have to consult the local weather each morning to determine which products to use on any given day. High humidity = curls, low = blowout, and rain=pull it back in a bun. Life in FL
It's incredible the difference between ATL and here, isn't it? My good friend lived in ATL for the last 5 years and I learned quickly to bring a light sweater and long pants when I visited her in Aug. or Sept. And all the time, she complained about the heat and humidity - I was like "You have NO idea!"
Are you sure you wnat to get me started on Dec. at WDW?! Love it.
LOVE.
IT!!!
I can't say enough about that time of year. We do our "big" trip every year in Dec. (for over 10 years now!) for a few reasons:
1. Cooler, sometimes really cold, temperatures. This is my big opportunity to bundle up in winter coats, hats and mittens!
2. The most amazing holiday decorations ever. I think we spend as much time looking around the resorts as in the parks!
3. Low crowds. Not as low as Sept. anymore - more folks are catching on to the beauty of visiting in Dec. - but still pretty low.
4. Hotel discounts galore.
In the past, we've gone the second or third weeks of Dec. The second week has always been slow, but the third was more on the busy-ish side. This year, we're going 12/1-12/6, which I hear is pretty slow, too
Can you tell I love Dec.?! I really hope your family can give it a try - I think you'll love it as much as I do!
but I too have some cheeks and when I was little people would always pinch my cheeks and ooohhh I hated it. My DS had some big ol' cheeks too. He has outgrown his though. 
You should have seen DD when she was a baby...now that was some cheeks!!!
Anyway, I'm loving reading about your trip, your family and the other gals you met. 
There was so much we didn't get to do so we'll save it for next time. 
It must have been terrible having to leave early. How much did you miss of your vacation? I sure hope you are both well now and feeling great. 
You not too far from me. 
) and a magical afternoon. 
I think that will be a wonderful time to visit. I hope you do a TR. I will love to hear about the crowd levels and the temperature also. 
What should I bring? 
I will be back!
