I'm about ready to explode! I can't wait to get through security and get on that plane!

As many of you know, my son Jesse, who is 26 years old, is special. He's a dear and we never feel sorry for ourselves for having this wonderful gentleman. Also, he has seen, with us, Monet's waterlillies in Washington, London and Paris. Anyway, one time we were going through security and my son beeped, so the man asked him if he had any metal on him and he said no, but he kept on beeping, so finally, they took a hand wand and scanned his body and something beeped in his pocket. My son pulls out his harmonica. So, this just in. Harmonicas beep if you try to take them thru security.

Love it !

We so enjoyed meeting you and your son.
His enthusiasm is infectious !

Well, didnt see CP last night, it was packed. Epcot was manageable, but long lines for CP held us at bay. Heading to MK with Annie(some of yall may remember her from a past meet) and hopefully her DH Alan. He is a little under the weather.

Linda, I will try to get some Christmas photos up soon. It may be a few days, after we move to OKW, DW has to help me with that

 

[Granny]

Great hearing from the Groupies in the World, and those who soon will be. We'll be on the later-this-month shift heading down in 20 days.

Jimmy...seems like CP is getting more crowded each time we go. We do the CP package dinner which is expensive but at least gets us a seat at CP. It is my single favorite thing about visiting WDW at this time of the year, and hopefully your family will have a chance to enjoy it. We'll be attending on December 23 with Gary Sinise as narrator whom we've seen before and is very good.

Please give my regards to Annie and Alan.

Looking forward to stories and pix from the Groupie meets!

Wasn't the CP narrator last night Whoopie? In speaking with some locals after seeing her a couple of years ago it seemed like she is probably one of the most popular narrators and draws in lots of FL residents as well as visitors. (OK - this chat was happening in the long line for the womens restroom after the show. I really felt badly because a couple of these locals were being very derogatory about some others in line who had tried to get in to see the show and had not been unsuccessful. I may have finally had to pipe in with a little comment along the lines of how lucky the locals were that they knew the ins and outs of the system.)

 

[DiznyDi]

WildernessDad and JT, so glad you've made it! We'll be right behind you. Packing the suitcases and getting ready to go.

JT, please give our regards to Alan and Annie. Sorry to hear that Alan's not feeling his best. What's Annie up to these days?

We're scheduled for the CP on 12/11. I believe Jodi Benson is the scheduled narrator. Like you Granny, this is one of the highlights of our December visit.

 

[Kathymford]

Another reason I'm loving (and hating ) reading about the Groupies at the world right now, is my next trip to plan will be December 2013. I need all the help I can get! EEK. I've never attempted to plan a trip that far away. Ha.

 

[jimmytammy]

We love the CP and anyone who narrates is OK with us, but T was really hoping to see Whoopie. Well it turns out she did today. We happen chanced seeing her while she was getting ready to do some taping for The View over near Gastons Tavern. So we actually got closer than we would have at CP. Whoopie!!!!

 

[MiaSRN62]

Whoo hooo ! Happy for all the Groupies in the World !!!!
We are scheduled for CP on Dec 13 (also Jodi Benson Di !)....and MVMCP on Dec 14 !!!! Can't wait ! I'll be there in 9 more days !!!

I agree.....it has been getting more crowded. Standby used to be so easy ?! We are doing the CP dinner package too on Dec 13 (Rose & Crown). This is what TRULY puts the spirit into spending part of the Christmas holiday in the World

Flat Groupie Pic!!! That is such a fun idea! I think I will ask Mr Muush if he has any suggestions (he loves stuff like that).

We will miss you not being here with us TP and all who will be coming but just not in Dec. Hugs to you all.

A lot of our trips are planned at 7 months, but Kati and I are on with the 11 month advantage of now owning at VWL. We can't wait. Most of our cruises have been planned from 7-18 months out so I guess in our family the farther out is not a big deal. Kati loves the countdown as much as she loves the actual trip.

Great idea TP, we would do it for them, wouldn't we!!!

Kati and I have done the lunch for CP so that we get the first show and I can't imagine doing it any other way. We have seen John O'Hurley and Michael W Smith at the two we have been to. They were both great.

Everyone in the world and heading there have a great vacation. We are trying to get in the Christmas mood here, but with 80 degree days, it is hard to imagine Christmas is only 22 days away.

 

[MiaSRN62]

We would prob be going around mid Feb. Is this a busy time rental wise? I know that hotels are listed as 'peak' price during this time period usually.

Hi there ! I've been busy with work/school past several days and just saw this. Maybe you got your answer already. Early Feb is "Dream" season (in the middle), but late Feb is "Magic" season and the points are a bit higher even still for that time period. I think anything after Feb 16-17 is Magic. You're getting in to President's Week and Spring Break crowds. Hope this helps
