Also doing the weight loss thing! It was DD's 3rd B-day this week so needless to say, it's not been a great week I started a weight loss group last week at church and have to go back and weigh in tonight Oh well, I'm already looking forward to gaining some back while at WDW!!!

We're at 51 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pumba's Truth]

Is anyone doing the dessert party at MK? Or have you done it in the past?

My oldest does not like the fireworks because they are loud, but our first nite at WDW she won't be there (she has a luncheon to work at for the Rainbow Girls on Sunday that she can't really miss because she is the Worthy Advisor) so I was thinking about looking into the dessert party for that night. (We didn't have the date for the luncheon until after all the plans had been set.) My Dad has agreed to drive and meet me half way with her and she likes the idea because she is hoping we will do all the stuff she doesn't like (just figure anything loud ) before she gets there.

Anyone done this? Is it worth it?

We did the Wishes dessert party last summer. DW and DS10, a lot of food available. Chocolate covered strawberries and a whole assortment of goodies.

Beverages I thought were a bit lacking, but at the time I think I should have been on an IV of cola. LOL

The view can be hit or miss as some tables that are further back under the overhang.

But ... they do leave a good walk way up near the edge for people to go and get a better look.

HTH

I was thinking about the Wishes party too. Looked it over, sounds like a lot of yummy stuff ( and I am a major Chocoholic!) We'll see, I don't know if I can even fit it in this trip.
Also looked at the Behind the Seeds tour- looked interesting and I think my kids would like it. Anyone ever done this? Any thoughts?

Hubby and I did the behind the seeds tour. We really enjoyed it.

I can't remember how old you said your boys are but if they have a half way decent attention span they should enjoy it. If nothing else I am sure they would love getting go behind the scenes. You get to walk through the main greenhouses (that the boats go through), some of the lab areas and get to be hands on with a few things as well. Seeing the fish and gators up close will probably be very interesting to them and our tour even got feed some of the fish.

You need to go to your settings and click edit signature, then plug your link in there.

oh, oh, oh AND my friend who is the travel agent just returned form 10 days in WDW.
She informed me that she saw them already beginning to hang Christmas lights!!

YAY! That is so exciting! I love Christmas by itself, but Christmas in DISNEY... words fail me!

 

[shinysparklybubbles]

Don't miss Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. We went 6 years ago and my kids still talk about it, and can't wait to do it again! (and they're teenagers!)

I understand!! That's why I just went ahead and packed all the girl's clothes, my tops and my DH's around 3 months out. This way they can't get dirty or left behind! Worse case, I guess they get wrinkled...

Me TOO!!!

I'm thinking I'll do my decorating at home the Sunday before Thanksgiving, or at least dig it all out & work on it Sunday, Monday and Tuesday while dd is ond break from the dance studio and it'll be done when we return home on the 3rd fo December!!

I want to resort hope to WL and GF to see the gingerbread and the resort all decorated. We've been to GF before for a dinner our first year, but we've never seen Wilderness Lodge although we've always wanted to. Any other resorts really spectactular and we shouldn't miss if we have time to hop to them?

I have never ordered from GG before but have been tweeking my order that I started months ago since this past weekend, I think I am all set now and decided to place it next Fri Oct 1, we don't arrive until Nov 8th but I figure that will be one more thing I can check off my " To Do" list.

I began to get my order together today. I am not taking any chances, and going to see if they will accept it this far out. I'll let you know what I find out! I arrive the 20th, but will be there over Thanksgiving.
