December 2011 - Christmas with Mickey!! Who's Coming Along and Planning Help Thread!!

[WLSILVERCREEKSPRINGS]

We'll be at the WL Dec 16th - 23rd for our first Christmas trip, this will be a suprise trip for our 13yo DD

 

[jk and ek]

we just booked for 12/6-12/12!

we (me, jk, plus jk's parents and sister) are all staying at animal kingdom kidani village in a dedicated 2 bedroom villa. quite a step up from our last trip! (we stayed at POP last time) the villa is actually bigger than the apartment jk & i live in!

also, last time we went, i got the notorious norovirus and was out of commission for over half our trip...and it was my first time ever to WDW...so this is basically a re-do for me. haha

i'm so excited to have something to plan for! all last year i planned our wedding and once it was over and done with (09/04/10) i didn't know what to do with myself...so i came up with the idea of a family vacation.

Hi!
We are taking our kids on their first trip to Disney Dec.17-22!!
My parents are going with us and we'll be at the GF!

We're waiting until the day before to tell the kids (who'll be 3 and 5 in December) so it's going to be so hard to not spill the beans for a whole year.
Love, love, love Disney and can't wait!

Here's hoping! DH was laid off just before Christmas, but he's got another job lined up, so if he gets it, we're using our pin code (and some of his severance) for a split stay...Dec 17 & 18th at WL, 19th and 20th at YC, with the 16th at HRH for WWOHP. First Christmas trip, and first IOA visit, but with both kids in HS and no days off or they have to take finals, we have to go with the school schedules. A little worried about the crowds, but since we've been so many times, we can be choosy about what we ride on and the rest is just gravy

Wish upon a star for DH, 3rd interview on Wed!

[shocky5]

So excited to surprise my family! DH is aware we are going but I've switched up the dates on him so he can be surprised on departure date, too! We will be going Dec. 16-23rd staying at the Poly. Our kids are going to flip out! Any ideas 'how to tell them?'

 

[SRUAlmn]

Got an AMAZING PIN, so we're booking today!!! First, though, we just have the long-standing debate between DH and I about which resort category!

 

[Vickis3js]

Well we are officially booked now 12/17-12/24 at a THV we will be adding the night of the 24th and the 25th in 2 days. We are so excited. We did an add on with DVC just to be able to stay in the THV and now that we are booked I am driving everyone insane LOL. Now hurry up Dec!!!

 

[SRUAlmn]

So I'm totally excited about being able to go back during Christmas time. We've gone in the summer for the past few years due to my being a teacher, so I am so, super excited!!! Not to jump too far ahead here, but when do they normally start releasing info about MVMCP and the CP?

 

[Kellyh123]

We are going to be there 12/21-12/27. Second time for DH and DD and DS. Took them all in 2009, and what an experience. I cried when my DD then 8, saw the castle for the first time!
