Your ULTIMATE SURVIVAL GUIDE to Disney World at Christmas Time! UPDATE x2 10/21

[marDgreen88]

This is like the best night of anyone's life ever. I can't even think of anything else to say except for OMG OHANA YUM AHH.

I've totally been there... you're just in your own little world and all the weird looks you're getting don't even bother you because it doesn't matter and it's just FUN and there is NO SHAME! I had a moment like that in the grocery store a couple weeks ago. I was dancing and singing down the aisles to Whitney Houston's 'How Will I Know.' Something tells me it wasn't nearly as awesome as being in MK though... sigh.

Good luck with all your auditions! I bet you'll be amazing!

This was like the best update EVER. I mean, Ohana AND the Magic Kingdom on New Year’s Eve! What can be better than that?!

And now I will go drool over your Ohana food pictures…

 

[katt789]

First off: I love the fact that you put little video clips into your TR's so that people will know what you're talking about haha! Love it!!

Secondly: UGH, Ohana!! The dinner looks absolutely amazing! I am dying to eat there, but have all of my ADR's done for the next trip (which is probably a good thing seeing as it's in 8 days lawl) But it's on my list of things to do!

Impulsive Magic Kingdom! Yes! It looks so crowded, I love that Jonathan pretty much just followed you around haha, that's great. I'm glad you got your impulsive dance party on!

 

[Disneydude97]

Jess, I betcha the surge of energy when midnight stroke was louder than the New Years' ceremony in Times Square. Was it?

 

[petals]

I don't think I could handle crowds like those.

 

[michael's mom]

Jess, you're one brave gal facing those crowds! I LOVE that you just danced around the Kingdom and then left. So funny!

You've got me dying to try O'hana, but with DS's food allergies, I'm not sure we'll get a chance to go anytime soon


Good luck this sememster in school. I hope your auditions go well! Looking forward to another update.

 

[NoOrdinaryPrincess]

After reading your most recent post I immediately sent Mr. NoOrdinaryPrince a text begging him to consider a New Years eve/day trip. We'll see what he says.

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE O'HANA!!! The bread pudding is to die for! That's so sweet what your mama said <3 AW!

I can just picture you skipping and dancing your way through the Magic Kingdom! I can't imagine being in those crowds though... you're BRAVE!

 

[rdkeim]

This update was the best! I was there with you - in spirit anyway. The fact you can write about that night 8 months ago with such enthusiasm is amazing. Your TR's are great!

 

[MarieTheCat24]

I hope you enjoyed your last day of summer! I'm glad I convinced you to go for the s'more.

As for the update, YUM. I think that's really all that needs to be said about 'Ohana.

The Magic Kingdom on NYE sounds like so much fun! Singing and dancing and (to quote Lia's TR) LIVIN' IT UP at the most magical place on earth is pretty much the best.

 

[cheekypoppins]

When my oldest daughter was little people used to say that she looked exactly Michelle Tanner and I loved it,I thought it was the best compliment ever!!!!
Now please tell me where do you get all your long sleeve Disney shirts??? I love them!!!!!!

 

[__disneygirl]

AHHH I will be at 'Ohana in 47 days!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! I think I should stop eating now in order to make room for all the food I am going to eat on that night. LOL.

That picture of you guys cracks me up cause you, Jonathan, and your mom are smiling perfectly and your dad is like making an OMG face. What a frump, I love it. Btw the other day when I went to make a deposit at the bank with another manager at my store we went in through the wrong door, and couldn't find where to go, and then we couldn't find his car in the parking lot, and I was like "WE ARE SUCH FRUMPS!" and he thought it was the funniest thing ever that I would say that...and I was like, it's the frump life, dude. Get used to it. LOL.

I LOVE your one woman parade of euphoria prancing through the Magic Kingdom. Seriously. That is what life is all about.

haha I totally relate to that moment of you singing BABY loudly... I'm not a Bieber fan either but that's just one of those songs that if it hits you in the right mood, you're gonna belt it out unless you're just totally dead inside. LOL.

 

[Caretames1]

While I totally understand the awesomeness that is Disney on new years, there is no way I could deal with those crowds! I need a little elbow room,WOW!

Your dinner looked soooo good I really need to work on my family to give it a try. They just don't know what good is!LOL

[sue_88]

This whole trip just looked like it would create the best memories that a family could have! It really looked wonderful and your narration has been so sweet and fun.
I'm really glad that you enjoy trip report writing so that I can share in the memories.
And I will add Ohana to my list for my next trip! Yum.

 

[ShannonMarie]

You may have just pushed me into making a reservation at Ohana (if I can get one) for the end of the month. Never been but your pictures made me drool!

 

[ShannonMarie]

Ok yeah...that was silly that I thought I might be able to get a reservation for Ohana at this late date. I will keep trying though!

 

[POLY1985]

Great updates. Love the pool pics - the tiles were really pretty! They were the first pictures I've ever seen of that particular pool and slide.

Yum, 'Ohana! I have to agree with Jonathan - I love the pot stickers too!
I also agree with your Mom's New Years sentiment - there is no place I'd rather be or no one I'd rather be with than my family of four.

Wow! The New Year's crowds in MK are crazy!! (I'd still go if I had the chance)

 

[rachel09985]

Great Ohana pics! That me me hungry, I loved the pic where the fosters sauce is just a straight line being poured into the bread pudding!

I would have loved to see you dancing and singing in MK! That is so funny that you just got a burst of energy and had to go to MK! I love it!

 

[wdwtwins]

Where did you get the Ariel shirt from? I love it!!

 

[DonaldDoleWhip]

I hope moving back to university went well! Packing enough stuff for an entire year is always a pain, IMO (and it's simply not as fun as packing for Disney).

New Year's Eve at WDW is incredible, but I always have such a hard time deciding which fireworks show to see - Epcot's or MK's? IMO, they're both amazing, and the atmosphere in the parks is so festive. I can't wait to see how the evening ended.
