Woke up late again, went and met with our guide....SURPRISE...Hats, playing cards and mugs for us from DVC....That was a nice treat...Toured BLT....WOW....MUCH better than the pictures....It was really nice...Talked about adding the 25 points, but the catch is you can only use those 25 points at the 11 month window, then use the rest at 7 months......Bummer.....Then back to downtown disney....swam a little then off to MVMCP...WOW...What a GREAT TIME that is.....the cocoa and cookies were awesome, the snow was great (it was cold enough for real snow) and the parade was awesome...Wishes was MAGICAL!!! No lines, rode Peter Pan in under 5 minutes!

Worth every penny for the MVMCP....Picked up some special pins and pin set....

My ONLY negatives about our whole trip.....
(1)RUDE people....Personally, I am against renting points to people, esp if you do not know them....SSR was dirty...And people were just RUDE...They dont care about the place....Even in the parks....Is it like this every December??
(2)Busses...How can Disney not be afraid of a lawsuit? Last night, our bus was so packed, it was horrible......This is just a liability waiting to happen....I realize times are tough, but run more busses....We will rent a car from now on....

Wow, great picture with Santa and the castle in the background. I may have to add that one to my collection of favorites.

Glad you are having a good time except for the few glitches with some people and buses.

Woke up this AM, after all night at the MK.....Brought breakfast back to the room, showered, and off to Everest!! Love that ride....Back to the room, to relax....DD had a migraine, so she slept while we swam....Worked out well.....Changed, then back for flatbreads (They are addicting) and a quick walk to the grandstands and off to HS for Fantasmic....WONDERFUL show with great weather......Then the Osborne lights....We could sit there all night watching and listening...Disney really did a superb job with that whole scene....

We ended up taking the Old Key West bus, because SSR busses were OVER CROWDED and the line was super long...Problem?? Downtown Disney people who park for free....DVC really has to look into this problem....No lie, 3 busses in a row were packed beyond capacity and the line was past the ropes into section 5...Old Key West was practically empty....We jumped on a boat, and met some nice people from NJ, and we talked about DVC and us winning...The boat captain could not believe we won, he said he never met anyone who won

On to DD for dinner...T Rex...Food was ok, ambience was amazing!!!!

Now its time to say goodbye to all at SSR....We are flying out at Noon tommorow.....This was a good trip.....Our only gripe....Rude people, packed parks, and bus problems.......Other than that, awesome again!!!

Next report comes in May, Boardwalk getaway!!!

Wait a minute -- not so fast on planning the May trip -- I hope you come back here to post those photos you took around the resort. There are quite a few posted in other places, but maybe you took some different ones (?)

That castle and Santa photo is awesome, but I know better than to go at Christmas again (well, maybe I can do a single trip before school lets out next year!).

Have really enjoyed your reports -- major congrats on being the winner (you can bet there are gazillions of jealous people like me -- thanks for sharing it so well with us).
