Joining in on the November thread. We are planning on going for Thanksgiving for a short trip (11/21 - 24). I'm sure it'll be insane crowd wise, but a nice break from our normal life. I'm actually usually a pretty active member of the boards but haven't been on in a while (for me at least). Not long after my birthday trip in August our beloved cat of 18 years passed away. It's just DH and I, and she was essentially our (fur)kid. DH had raised her from a kitten when he was 13... needless to say this has been really tough on him. We definitely need a little Disney in our lives. I am thinking of biting the financial bullet and staying at Disneyland Hotel. We've never been and I think it'd be really fun.
