There's no place like home, a December 2011 DVC pre-trip. 12/2 p56 DL and WDW updates

[rentayenta]

I'll be in Utah Dec 20 till Jan 2nd.....want to try to meet up?

We need to just plan the date like 2 weeks before so nothing comes up. If you decide to embrace your crazy, I am crisis on 12/26, 12/29, and 12/30 from 5-midnight. Come to my ER if you decide to get help.

You can come over and see my Jewish Christmas Tree. Is it the whole family this time?

Yeah, I am kinda torn with even keeping this thing open. I make my GCV ressie soon and can do a mini Cali trip report but it seems I've got more lurkers than posters.

Our stuff from Lost and Found arrived yesterday. Gotta love Disney customer service!


Coming up- my list of Disneyland must do's for our trip next June and a very infantile itinerary.

 

[jordanyosh]

I'm still here.

I'll be waiting for that itinerary. World of Color has got to be on there. You know I'm not a parade or Fireworks person. I do, however, like Disneyland's version of Fantasmic. I just don't like waiting 2 hours for it. So I am excited about World of Color....

What is WoC supposed to be anyway?

I am a total parade and fireworks person however, aside from Chloe who like fireworks, I am the only one who enjoys this kind of thing. My family will suffer through that wait on the first night only. Michael agrees to "get it over with". Well except for the holiday fireworks and snow which he admitted were kick butt! I live with some haters I tell ya.

My must-do list at this point consists of:
MSEP
fireworks
F!
parade
Jedi training Academy for Chloe and Joshua
Flag ceremony, Nate and Michael will this
Storyteller's character breakfast

Toy Story 3 comes out when we are there so depending on crowds and grad nights, we may see it in DTD opening night which might prove to be pretty darn cool. I am also hoping DCA really caps on TS3 and makes a big deal in DCA.

Last trip we missed having Dole Floats, churros, and corn dogs so those delicacies are musts. We are also tossing around the idea of eating at the BB for lunch, first seating to insure a water table.

Staying at the GCV is going to be da bomb baybee!!!

I'm here too Jenny

I'm here too Jenny. Keep 'er coming.

That would be so cool!


What is the flag ceremony?

 

[rentayenta]

I'm here too Jenny

Excellent. Have you updated your trippie yet?

That would be so cool!

I am so excited. It's my second favorite next to SSR so even though Michael is a little bummed about having to wait until 2011 for SSR, 2 trips at the GCV will ease our pain no doubt.

What is the flag ceremony?

At Disneyland, not sure about WDW, they have a flag ceremony retiring the flag each night before sundown. Not sure if it's real military that does it but it's supposed to be pretty neat and about 10 minutes. Both Michael and Nate are HUGE history fans so they will dig it.

With good reason (to be excited).

Excellent. I've heard that they do something like that at Wilderness Lodge...don't know about the parks themselves.

That's where I am at. I am going to So Cal in 2 weeks and am tossing around the idea of seeing if I can get a Studio one of the nights for me and my friends and maybe hang in DTD. I would feel kinda bad though about not being with my family during my first DVC stay. I most likely won't do it but I am itching to stay at the GCV.

Really? Cool. I will have to ask Jenna.
