Just made my final payment wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Absolutely! We will do great when we're there, just wouldlove to have a little elbow room which is funny coming from a mom of 5!

Glad you agree bc I'm totally trying to convince myself lol. On our August trips we always have more days! Less days for this trip since DS will be missing school.

This sounds strikingly similar to our trip!! Nov 26-Dec 3! We get in on Thanksgiving (saved like $600 that way), staying at Pop, my mom flies in on Black Friday, me, DH, DS9(turning10 on trip), DS6, DD4, DS2, DD 4 months! 5 day base tix too woohoo maybe we'll hear each other's kids having a BLAST that is!
Super excited it's almost FP+ time! (which means I can stop agonizing...right? haha)

Glad to see another new baby family traveling. I was so worried about it for so long and even canceled the trip a few months ago!! So excited we are going for it now- I would have so regretted if we didn't take advantage of this opportunity! I cannot imagine doing it with 5 kids but actually DS is like managing 3 kids at once!!!!

I have not spent much time on my touring plans yet which is so UNLIKE ME. The time is sneaking by so fast!!

God I hope not. That's when we are going for our 1st trip and I want to enjoy it and not miss out on a lot due to high crowds. We originally picked that week since everyone said it's one of the lowest crowded weeks

I know! It seems like there are less and less low crowd times at Disney nowadays!! You never see it all in one trip. We've gone a few times now and there is still stuff we have not done! But we always get to everything we want! It's a trip where solid planning REALLY is crucial!!

Anyone going during the beginning of December and planning on wearing Christmas shirts? Trying to decide if we should or not. This will be our first trip so close to Christmas.

We will be there 12/6-12/11 The 6th we will be doing MVMCP and I plan on making some Christmas shirts with some sort of family theme, still have no idea what I'm doing. There is no way I was going to be there at Christmas time without something themed, even if it is early.

We're doing a December trip! Our first trip to WDW in almost 8 years! We're doing an early celebration of our anniversary.
I love all things Christmas and never been for Christmas so very excited just to see all the decorations and try all the goodies.

Enjoy!!
We'll also be going for our first December trip and celebrating 30 years of wedded bliss!

We'll also be going early December. Definitely planning on Christmas-y attire for MVMCP!

Where do you get your Christmas party clothes?

I own more "ugly Christmas sweaters" than anyone I know! I outfitted my daughter's dorm for their Christmas sweater party. I love them- so fun and festive! ( I'm a pediatric home care nurse and wear them to work - that's why I have so many)

I tried my hand at designing and applying iron-ons for the very first time...

The image is from a google image search (which I figured would be fine since it's for personal use and not for sale), and I just doctored it up and added the border and text, then printed it on iron-on transfer paper. I feel like I placed it too low on the shirt, but I'm not too fussed about that. I'll be wearing this on our arrival night at MVMCP!

I also bought these to wear with it...

And first thing when we get there, I'll be buying a set of these, too...

 

[CruisingKate]

Nice job - very festive! I like your customization with the dates!

 

[Cluelyss]

I order a lot of customs from Etsy (which is a veeeeeery dangerous place!!!!). We will be there the week after Thanksgiving, and I think 90% of what I'm packing is either Christmas-themed or red/green!

 

[DisMom1981]

I just discovered a world of danger- CUSTOM Disney attire on Etsy. Where have I been!? How do you decide between tee shirt and long sleeve?? Tee shirt with long sleeve underneath? This vacation is costing more and more money!!!

And it's not just clothing....I've ordered autograph books, photo mats, Mickey nail polish, a lamp......

we all but canx right after our #5 was born too, but I kept digging for airfare, and now we're going a little longer! Oddly our school age boys have a weird long thanksgiving break, so we can go for a week and only miss 3days! I am pseudo stressed about the fp picks...we've only ever stayed at shades of green and never had magic bands or anything ahead of time
..it's going to insane

Do you belong to touring plans? In the past I have created custom plans and then I go for fast passes for the longest waits for the times on the customized plans.

I have looked at the free info on the touring plans site in the past, but I never joined...we're pretty cheap ahem "cost conscious" so I try to cut out any tiny thing that I can :-/ but at least that can all save up for a big Disney trip! We found out fast on our last trip how important it was to not have too much planned...all 6 of us (our then-littlest was 9mo) got a nasty stomach flu starting on the first of our four day trip. ROUGH time, so this trip is our redemption! We will be swimming in hand sanitizer and Clorox wiping EV.ERY.THING. haha

I made our stuff for our March trip, some of which we'll probably wear again. I'm a scrapbooker and the machines that work for that also cut vinyl for shirts, this past trip was my first time doing it and it was pretty fun.


These were one of my favorites. And the one that my husband didn't seem to mind as much, this will definitely be used again.

I look around on there a lot but seems like everything looks SO similar to each other, perhaps I'm sear

sweet!!!
do you sew the vinyl on...? Is I a glue, or iron transfer? I think I could handle transfers myself, cheaper than $20!
