OFFICIAL CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY SEASON & NEW YEAR'S 2017 THREAD

[mom2rtk]

Millie we did just that! All 5 of us are on antibiotics now!

Have any of y'all seen or read Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy? We are on so much medicine I feel like we are propped up like Zaphod when his brain was being powered by lemons, but we are on the plane!

Somewhere along the line you need to replace everybody's toothbrushes or anything else their mouths come into repeated contact with. You can reinfect your own self with strep.

I'm glad you're all on medication so you can feel better soon and have a great trip!

I think you are right. We have two bulk packages of toothbrushes in our bag. We are going to switch out EVERYBODYS toothbrushes mid-course on the antibiotics and the again when the last person is done with theirs. We are each going to have our own toothpaste. Everyone seems good so far. No upset tummies. No fevers.

We are here now. Flights from Pittsburgh werent too bad. We are enjoying downtown disney which is way less crowded than any time I have been at Florida’s version. So we are happy.

We leave in less then 12 hours!! A little scared after seeing the crazy crowds this weekend but it’ll be a fun trip no matter what!!

Looks like we are coming a day early now. We arrive at LAX 7 ish on Friday 8 from the UK, so have decided to to stay at an airport hotel overnight then head down the next am. Any thoughts on traffic? (it will be be Saturday) Aiming to head to the parks and find a few MAXpass Fps.

3 weeks! Which means our package should be on the way! My goal this week is to print all our documents and such.

So I watched a YouTube video from the park on 12/27 of last year. Oh holy crap that’s a ton of people. I mean I know it’s going to be crazy but I’m glad I saw the video in advance to know what to expect really. I’m glad we’ve decided to do 3 character meals to see our characters and made dinning reservations and plan to only pick 1-2 must do things each day. This site has been so helpful.

tomorrow is the big day, early morning wake up to get to the airport for our 8:30am flight
the surprise has almost been spoiled a couple of times this weekend by the very few people that know about our trip but i don't think he suspects anything!!! thank goodness he knows about our April 2018 trip because we have diverted the conversations to reference that trip instead!!!

Wow- as of 1040 this morning- Small World fast passes are already at 1020 til 1120 pm. Wonder if that is right? That seems crazy.

I just looked at it’s only a 5 minute wait fast pass at 11 am.. so maybe a glitch

We had a great trip despite the enormous crowds!!! MaxPass is a lifesaver. No running for FP's and get them for either park. The Candlelight Processional was awesome!! We weren't planning to watch the show but when my daughter find out who the narrator was, it became a must do. Plans changed for Saturday evening to make the 7:45 show. I talked to a CM and came up with a plan to be on Main Street at 6:30. Got a standing spot at 6:45 behind the benches on the right side of the stage. It was a great show and my 14 and 17 y/o girls were thrilled. We have seen the candlelight in WDW twice and prefer that set up. Standing in one spot for almost 2 hrs was tough with a bad knee and back.

It was fun to see them use the projectors on Main Street again! They projected images onto the buildings during Believe...In Holiday Magic fireworks (no projections on the Matterhorn).

Candy canes and other sweets

Dancing candles

String of Holiday lights

Snowfall during the finale

We made it to Main St. For the fireworks Sunday night. We were right at the start of the hub so we didn't see any projections. Way too windy tonight for any fireworks in either park. Also saw the 2nd showing of Fantasmic and it was awesome. Crowds were big today, too but we managed. 3 more days!!!!!

Probably good you saw the fireworks on Sunday, as I have a feeling there probably wont be any fireworks at least until the weekend, as it is supposed to be very windy at least through Thursday,
