You just made me smile What is it with you tonight?! First you make me spit, then you make me laugh and now you make me smile!

I am having fun....................and you are too!

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

Yep...all three of the kids are boys...just 10, turning 7 the first day at WDW and 5 and 1/2.

And yep, they are all coming with us! And have I said this in the last five minutes...I CANNOT WAIT!!

That is so awesome, have a great time, it sounds like a fab trip.

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

Well guys I've gotta go and fold laundry, so I'll see ya tomorrow night. G'night.

 

[paigevz]

G'night! Sleep tight!

 

[jaycns]

Well, sort of. We are taking the kids to the Princess Tea Party, and the BBB in DTD. DD 9 will turn 10 while we are there, so she got to pick out what she wanted to do the day of her birthday. Then we let DD7 pick a day too. For the oldest we are going to Crystal Palace to eat dinner, her fav is Pooh so she will love it. We are having breakfast at the castle for the youngest, that is what she picked so I think we will have a great time.

Oh yeah we are staying at the Wilderness Lodge.

OH...the WL is somewhere I really want to stay! Make sure you let us know ALL about it!

 

[paigevz]

Gettin' late Jay...............what do you think?

 

[jaycns]

We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge for Christmas..............we really liked it. The boat is great transportation to the MK, the kids think it's like another ride.

What you have so far sounds fun, Mary.

I would love to hear all about that trip sometime! As I said, WL is a place I would like to try out sometime...soon!

 

[jaycns]

Well guys I've gotta go and fold laundry, so I'll see ya tomorrow night. G'night.

Goodnight Mary! It was a lot of fun chattin' over tea tonight!

 

[paigevz]

Don't leave yet Jay, I'm gettin' you some Christmas at WL pictures together!

 

[jaycns]

Well, dh is asleep on the couch...so I better wake him up to get him to go to bed. Night Paige!! Have a great one!

 

[paigevz]

Oh, okay then, I'll show you tomorrow if you have time...............

 

[jaycns]

OH, in that case....I just might have to let him stay a couch sleeper for another few minutes!! I got the dishes unloaded and the dog has fresh water...

 

[paigevz]

Your light's still green, so I'll give it a shot.............

Here's on the boat:

Here's the tree in the lobby:

Here's Santa in the lobby on Christmas Eve:

Here's hanging the stockings in the room:

Here's getting a surprise on Christmas Eve.........you can see our little tree:

 

[paigevz]

We bought that little tree at Big Lots for 15 bucks and brought it carry on on the plane.........it's fiber optic and came with the ornaments..........then we bought that pack of ride ornaments they sell at WDW..........Splash Mountain, Cindy's Carroussel, Buzz Lightyear, Dumbo, Tea Cups and Peter Pan...........and put them next to it. When we left, we put the tree back in the box, and left it there.

Their surprise was Rudolph figures from the claymation show. We got those at Big Lots too.

 

[jaycns]

Oh my good golly! Those pictures are SOOO cute!! How old were the boys then? Luke looks so much younger!! WOW, when Disney does a tree, they sure do it up right! How crowded were the parks at Christmas time?

 

[paigevz]

Nick was 9 and Luke was 2.

It was easier to find cute things for him to wear then..............he's so big now, I have to really look hard!

The parks were quite crowded, but we usually go in summer or at Spring Break, so they weren't more crowded than then. We follow the get there at opening, use fast pass, leave in early pm and go back in the evening to close school of thought. It works great on the crowds no matter when we go.........except at Animal Kingdom........that place is always very crowded.

 

[paigevz]

It got more crowded the closer to Christmas we got.........we left Dec. 26th.

 

[paigevz]

It got quite cold and it rained a lot, that might've helped with crowds. It was so cold and rainy on Christmas Day that when we left MK, there was a HUGE crowd also leaving and we had to wait for 2 or 3 boats...........Luke was tired and crying, and my boys have GERD, so if they cry too much.........their last meal comes up. It was a nightmare right then!

 

[jaycns]

That sounds like so much fun! I just need dh to see it that way!! I love that man...I just need to "Disneyfy" him.

Well...I better get to sleep. I have a whole list of "needs to be done" before tomorrow night, so I will need the rest!

Take care!! GOOD NIGHT CHATTERS! Hope to see some more of your tomorrow!!

 

[paigevz]

G'night Jay!

I'll say an early hello to the morning chatters, 'cause I know I'll be snoozing when you guys come on!
