Deb Hi! I know we have chatted before on these boards

regarding
MVMCP 
I see you are staying at HIFS. My family stayed there in, I think, 2000 and LOVED it! I wouldn't hesitate to go back there in a minute! We usually stay on Disney property but you get so much more in your room for the money you pay. You guys will love it.
It is so nice to have a seating area for the TV, the kids in their own room and you and your husband's own room

The kids have their own TV as well as you in your rooms too! Fridge, etc. I'm sure you know already though LOL

We were going to stay at the Contemporary in November but my husband's friend had a lot of weeks he wasn't going to use this year at Orange Lake Country Club and he "gave" us a week. We had to pay the $500 fee for changing dates but that is it! (Well really my mom paid since she is the one taking us). We have a 3 bedroom condo that sleeps 12

She's saving mega money from only paying the $500 for the condo (not including the extra daily maid service, towels, etc) as opposed to what she was going to pay at the Contemporary.
Anyway, we usually go in October and have been the last week in August but this will be our first time to see the Christmas decorations and we are all looking forward to seeing Disney in a way we have never seen before. I'm a very big planner and very organized (I guess most of us are if we are on this site) and already wondering (although I haven't told my husband) when I will get to put up my Christmas decorations. I usually put them up the day after Thanksgiving. This year we are leaving the day after Thanksgiving and coming home on December 5 (Sunday). I guess I could wait and put them up the following weekend (I work during the week) but then that would be December 11 and I hate having to do so much work and only have them up for a short period of time LOL Maybe I'll have to do it on Thanksgiving before we go to my inlaws for dinner LOL although I don't think my husband would appreciate that very much. I just think it would be SO nice to come back from a Disney Christmas vacation with my decorations already done

I know, sorry I'm going on and on, but I do get carried away when it comes to Disney LOL
