TR...We are home

[drummer1616]

Off to Animal Kingdom. A couple pics from yesterday...OH, and to the folks who decorated their villa in Congress Park facing DD, very nice job.

MY GOSH MIKE!!!!!! The kids are huge,what are you feeding them?Randy

Ok, so we leave Congress park, its nice we are right next to the stop, and head to the MK. Get our season passes, and for the life of me cannot figure out why Disney issues paper tickets for season pass holders?

You'll be relieved to know they aren't actually paper - I don't know the material, but they're very sturdy and durable.

Today, slept in....NICE....Its good to know you can actually sleep in a day and not worry about missing anything because you are a DVC member and can continue to come to Disney year after year......

All morning, Downtown Disney, hitting the shops....Made our own ears, bought some nice xmas ornaments, and PINS PINS PINS! Here are some pics of today...TONIGHT, Whispering Canyon!! Oh, and we swam today, how nice, swimming on December 4th!!!!!

I totally agree. We started enjoying WDW so much more when we decided we didn't have to do everything every trip because we knew we would be back.

And yay for new pins!

Enjoyed your Osborne Lights picture too.

Just a quick question, will be there on Sunday and wondering if the refillable mugs are still the YOMD design?

 

[alldiz]

OK....Thats it.....

I am booking my next WDW trip for the holidays.....I miss those decorations....I hope they do the castle like that again next year

Thanks for posting....Have a great trip

We are using the 2007 mugs........

We are off to Ohana and Epcot....Had whispering canyon last night, the WL was very nice...The tree was outstanding, and they had a Photopass guy in the lobby...Nice touch...Wonder why SSR does not do that??

The food was ehhh....We all had bellyaches afterwards....Our server was great, ambience was great.....

Loving the TR, and again CONGRATS on winning the DVC.

We had a great two day stay at SSR for our first DVC experience. Now we can't wait for our first trip "home" to AKV in 27 days. Keep us posted on the best sights so we can maximize our short trip. Can't wait to see the Osborne Family Lights. So glad they will still be going on while we are there. When do they start each night and how long does it run?

Look for AZDisneyDan and Perdie. They are doing a live report from Congress Park now also, after starting at AKV.

 

[PSC]

Thanks for the thread and especially the pictures! I'll be there myself soon enough!

 

[dbprimeaux]

We were at SSR from Nov. 21- Dec 1st. We were also in Congress Park. We love being able to just walk to DTD. Great TR!!! See my TR (Live from SSR) I started it while there and just couldn't keep up...LOL!

They start at dusk...Amazing lights.....I have not seen them, and we are near them

Ohana for breakfast....Good food, horrible server.....We will stick with Chef Mickeys for our Bfast.

Then off to Epcot....Monorail broke down in front of us, had to wait....Thats ok....Got to Epcot, nice decorations....We did Soarin, Test Track, and Whimpy Mission Space, which was great....Then off to the worlds. Got to the Merry mixer at 3, line wayyyy too long, maybe DVC should do them 2-3x a week, lessen the crowds?

Walked the worlds, a little advice, do it without 13 and 11yr old....Its more for us grownups.

ONe thing we are noticing about December....Getting darker early tires us out quicker. We liked our April and May trips better....Seems to us the parks are really busy, and more dirty than usual...We saw a ton of stuff floating in the waters at Epcot

BUT, all in all, we are having fun, and its STILL the Disney we love..

OH, I should have mentioned, TONS of DVC merchandise here....Hats, jackets, shirts.....Pretty much a good selection.

 

[Teachckg]

Thanks so much for the TR.... we were there last x-mas and it brings back great memories!

 

[cpdwiz]

Slept in again (LOVE our DVC) and then headed over to the Grand Floridian to check out the Gingerbread House. Very, very nice. Walked around then spent the day at MK. Took some nice photopass pics.....Stayed for the Castle lighting, then left, just before the rain.....Heading back for MVMCP tommorow night......

 

[Alexander]

Ohhhh--you are following in our footsteps! We were in the Grandstand from 11/28 until 12/5! The Osborne lights were worth the entire trip! I have never seen anything so incredible in my life!

Yes, swimming on 12/4! We spent Thursday as a lazy day and hung at the pool, wandered around downtown, then went to Epcot for dinner and Illuminations. Thursday and Friday were the warmest days we had.

Question for everybody who just got back. What was the weather like? I am heading to SSR in 40 days ( wow am i counting down or something....)

Anywho, I plan on doing the whole forecast/planning thing but looks like it was pretty warm for you all?
