Holy moly. We're going to DLR! 
We are going to San Diego to visit DH's family at Christmas and had debated but decided to polite pass on DLR (with me, the Disney fanatic) as we figured it would be very crowded and expensive. 
Then DH was replaced by an alien. And suddenly a couple weeks ago he said, "hey, what if the kids are cool with no presents from us and we cut back on Santa stuff -- we could do a day at USH or DLR." Ummmm, who are you and what have you done with my DH? So we posed it to the kids. Now they LOVED USO but after realizing USH was going to be a slimmed down offering from the plethora of USO, they jumped on DLR with reduced gifting from us. Plus I figured out with my Disney rewards, we have a substantially reduced bill. And then, the alien/DH said "there's so much to do, why don't we at least do 2 days at DLR instead of 1?" The same guy who fought me on 5 days at DLR 5 years ago that there wasn't going to be enough to do (yes, he admitted he was wrong in the end when we had compromised on 4 and he admitted it wasn't enough). 
Sadly, onsite hotels are a bit pricey for us, especially considering DH's recent health bills, but DH has a ton of points at Hilton so we can make that work. Plus I am an early to rise and GET.TO.THE.GATE person so hopefully we'll be okay. Already looking to see where we might want to eat and DH has put in a request with a friend who knows people to see if a rare and magical Club 33 reservation might be available (probably should not have done that right after he used all his letters in a Words With Friends match with the guy). Just 2 days at DLR for Dec. 20th and 21st but hoping to brave the crowds and make the most of every minute.
