Jackie, you really shouldn't say such things! Some of us might go crazy!

You're right!

Your plans look terrific... for BOTH trips! I agree that a sleigh/carriage ride sounds very magical. I think it would be fun to walk around the Fort Wilderness campsites too - apparently those get all tricked out with holiday decorations!

As for the fall trip, yes, we're gonna want DETAILS. But you could do a food focused TR? It is food & wine afterall!!

I just realized I have to PM you my cell phone # so hopefully we can meet at some point while you're there!

Aw WigD I clearly logged out last night just as you guys chatted here on my PTR, so I am sorry I missed you! I tried to send a post last night (got some fun to share!! ) but the computer was dragging, sometimes the DIS seems to have slowdown overload! Anyway, it got lost and then I was already falling asleep at the screen!! SO I just decided to hit the hay and try it again tonight!!! I caught up on being tired... I always am on Mondays!!

So if CP has you covered that is fine!

Jackie, you really shouldn't say such things! Some of us might go crazy!

You're right!

UH RIGHT.... LIKE BUY THE WHOLE DISPLAY!!! Did you see some of the people waiting in line to SHOP at the D23 Expo??!!

It looks fabulous! I can't wait to hear about your meals, especially Flying Fish. Looks like we will be in Epcot at the same time on the 24th. We can chat about that later after we see what we both get for ADRs!
I can't wait to read the trip report.....

 

[Lady Lallie]

I think your plans look WONDERFUL!! Who cares about the crowds! You are going to be on Disney on the most magical day of the year. I am jealous!
