Thanks Becky--- the more, the merrier, right??

BUT...what's this I keep reading about researching a December trip...Do you have two trips planned for this year?

That's right, Michelle!! Yes!! We're going in May and then again in December!! We just haven't booked the December trip yet b/c we need to decide on the dates! We're looking at the week after Thanksgiving!

Hi Becky! Saw your post on another TR I'm reading and thought I'd come on over to yours. I guess I have to catch up but after reading your intros you sound a lot like me! I am also addicted to facebook, love volleyball (and sports in general) and am a teacher.

How awesome you are staying at the Polynesian! So jealous...that is our favorite resort...we used to stay there all the time. Can't wait for more!

YEAH That's fantastic Becky!

We went that week after Thanksgiving back in 2005, stayed at the Wilderness Lodge...loved it. Kevin actually turned 40 that year while we were there, so that was a lot of fun. We did MVMCP and really enjoyed that as well. I'm so jealous!

Glad Brent made it back safely Becky. We will be in Disney the week of Thanksgiving. It's the only time everyone has time off. With both the girls being in school, trip planning just got a little more complicated. Hope you had a nice weekend!

Hi Sarah!!! to my PTR!! I'm so glad that you're joining in!! I just added you as a friend on FB--hope you don't mind! What grade do you teach? I used to teach Kindergarten!!

We fell in love with the Poly when we stayed there last May (check out my May TR for LOTS of pics)!! I'm not sure if we could ever stay anywhere else!!

Thanks Michelle!! It all started when we watched the HGTV Christmas special! That night Brent and I agreed we would go this year for Christmas!! I cannot WAIT to see WDW all decorated for Christmas!!

Thanks Leanne!! Oh wow!! That's exciting!! I totally understand about having to plan around school! It makes it more difficult for sure!!

Thanks for the facebook add! I love having new DIS friends on there. As for teaching I'm still looking for a full-time job but right now I'm subbing long term as a literacy assistant. So atleast it's something.

That is how we felt too about the Poly...it was kind of depressing when we stayed at AS Sports after so many trips to the Poly. I'm still hoping sometime we get to stay there again (or as I said on my PTR that they build DVC villas there!).

 

[addictedtothemouse]

Hi! I was reading Wigd's TR and say your dates in your siggie. We're going to be at the Poly for the same dates! This will be our first stay there and I'm soooo excited.
I'm going to try to catch up on your PTR and maybe read your TR (not much time and sooo many TRs!)

 

[Nichellebelle]

Hi Becky! Your pre-trip report is awesome so far! I enjoyed reading about your Christmas and can't wait to read more.

 

[LilAnn]

Hi Becky! So I am finally making my way through your TR, I think I'm about halfway through it. My DD is loving the photos too! She keeps pointing to Ally and asking "who's that?" The Hollywood Vine lunch pictures make me excited for our breakfast ADR. She has no idea who JoJo and Goliath are and I think they freak her out a bit, even in the photos. But she loves the Little einsteins. I am getting so many more ideas on things that we need to do with this next trip as I am reading it. I am hoping that she will enjoy some of the shows as much as your little Claire. I can't say it enough, you guys are the cutest family!

 

[Alice28]

Yay Becky, another great PTR! I'm so happy for you and your family to get to go on this trip- I'm sure it will be wonderful. We always have a good time when we go to WDW with my parents. The kids love having their grandparents to do stuff with.

I love all of your ADRs- what fab times! I get to make mine on March 27th I do believe....cannot wait!

And the last two of my Jim Shore collection should get here this week. That didn't take me long to acquire, now did it, LOL. It helped that I listed a bunch of Molly's clothes on ebay and just used some of that money to buy the figures.

 

[disneylovin24]

Can't wait for more!!!

The bread pudding picture is driving me crazy At least I'll be eating at Ohana's 4 weeks from Tuesday

Your daughters are just too cute I love the disney costumes for the AG dolls.

 

[Sleepingbooty]

Hey Becky! haven't been on in a few days, and I just wanted to say hi! I finally got to show my family the planning powerpoint this weekend, just did an update about it on my ptr. Hope you guys had a good weekend!

 

[Sunset Cliffs]

Hi Becky! I have the day off today, so I got all caught up on your PTR. Your Christmas looks like you had a lot of fun. I have to say that you are one of the busiest people that I know. My hat is off to you. I don't know how you do it all.

I don't know if I missed it, but do you know your dates for Christmas yet? We talked to my parents about it again over the weekend and right now it sounds like a 50% possibility that we will be going over the holidays. The dream is not dead yet! I think the dates we would be looking at is the week after Thanksgiving (if I can get the time off of work).

 

[Charlefours]

Hi Becky! I hope you had a great day with the whole family home together!!

No problem!! It's fun getting to know DISers better via FB!! Yeah, I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to stay anywhere else other than the Poly!! We just LOVE it there!!

Hi Becky! Your pre-trip report is awesome so far! I enjoyed reading about your Christmas and can't wait to read more.

Hi Nichelle!! Thank you!! Glad you're enjoying my PTR!!

Thanks Robin!! Glad you're joining in!! I think it will be fun having my parents and brother along!! Especially since my brother has never been to WDW and my parents haven't been in so long!!

Thanks!! I was pleased with my ADRs!! Oooh--March 27th!! That'll be here before you know it!!

Yay!! I'm glad you were able to complete your Jim Shore Disney Princess collections so quickly!! You will LOVE it for sure!!

Can't wait for more!!!

Hey Becky! haven't been on in a few days, and I just wanted to say hi! I finally got to show my family the planning powerpoint this weekend, just did an update about it on my ptr. Hope you guys had a good weekend!

Hi Rebecca!! Yay!! I was wondering how that went!! I will check out your PTR for all of the details!!

Hi Alison!! Thanks for finding me on FB!! Are you addicted yet?! Yeah--I am pretty busy, huh?! I sometimes wonder how I do it all!! But I wouldn't have it any other way!!

No way!! We are looking at going the week after Thanksgiving as well!! We haven't booked it yet, but that's what we are leaning towards!! That would be so cool if we were there the same time!! Keep me updated about what ya'll decide!!!

Hi Becky! I hope you had a great day with the whole family home together!!

Hi Stephanie!! We had a very nice day with Brent being off of work!! We went to the mall, Target, out for dinner, and then took Claire to dance class!!

 

[ladybugmom]

I just had to share the snowlady that Ally and I made together this past week. It was a family project for school--we had to create a snowman using items around our house. This is what we came up with!!

Ally's teacher LOVED it!! She even sent me a special e-mail telling me how cute it was!!

As most of you know Brent was in India for 9 days for work and finally came home Saturday night!! One of his employees who lives in India sent these special gifts home with him for the girls!! Indian Barbies!! The girls were THRILLED with their gifts!!

The Barbies are sooo beautiful!!

And I'm not sure if I officially announced this yet here on my PTR (I know I've discussed it) but we are planning a 2nd trip to WDW this year in December to see all of the Christmas festivities!! We have not booked the trip yet but we are looking at going the week after Thanksgiving!! So not only will I be discussing plans for May here on my PTR but also plans for December!!! We cannot WAIT!!!!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

the snowman is just too cute!!! I did snow flakes with the little ones last week but did not think of a snowman...you make the cutest things!

I Love the Barbies! the clothing on them is beautiful!

I really hope you guys chose the week after Thanksgiving; because that is when we are going! I can't wait to see the castle!!!

Have a great evening! and thanks again for the hard work putting that list together!

Thank you Connie!! I wanted to do something different with the snowman--something no one else would be doing!! AND I just had to incorporate our love for Disney!!

The Barbies clothes ARE beautiful!! The detailing is amazing!!

We are leaning towards that week!! It would be sooo much fun to meetup!! And yes, I CANNOT wait to see that castle!!

No problem on the list of TRs!! I just copied and pasted from what I had!! I hope it wasn't too overwhelming!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

You are so creative -- that snowlady is adorable!

The Indian Barbies are awesome!!! So pretty!!! I collect Barbies so I started drooling when I saw them!
