It’s probably on its way up. It’s pretty difficult for anyone to enter the resorts without reservations and there are cameras everywhere.

I hope your luggage arrives soon and you have an amazing trip.

It was not on its way up. It took two hours for them to find it. No idea where it was, but they did eventually deliver it. My husband went into the luggage store room looking for it at one point and it wasn't there. It wasn't in the concierge closet, and no one would tell us where they eventually found it except to say the person that took it never checked it in (despite us getting a slip for it) /shrug

But we do have them now whew! I was not looking forward to doing Florida heat in long sleeves and long pants--the same ones every day for ten days !

Don't know if it helps anyone, but Epcot just opened up for New Year's Eve.

How is the humidity? Just wondering how hot it really is? 80 with lots of humidity feels like 210 to me.

Humidity wasn’t bad. It just felt hotter coming from the north. Do bring jackets

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've rebooked my rental car twice now in the past couple days with lower rates. So if you are renting, it might be worth checking.

There were a couple of days that were pretty humid, but overall, not too bad.

I'm listening to the soundtracks for Spectromagic, Wishes, and Illuminations while I pack, and wondering if I will like Harmonious and Enchantment now? Hopefully I will, enough to listen to them the way I listen to the old stuff!!

Anyway - 2 more days!!

It’s a little sticky but nothing like Oct/Nov. it gets pretty chilly at night and you need a hoodie and long pants for little ones after 9 pm. Forgot sunscreen ant our resort and had to buy it in park. Definitely need sunscreen. Weather today is 79, but 60s felt cold to us (17-40 back home).

Side note: Four Seasons and Ritz are not great for those with dairy/egg/sesame allergies. Our son reacted last night at the welcome party (Ritz) and this morning at an exclusive special character breakfast at Capa. Despite noting allergies on our resort reservation and dining, concierge and our room had welcome treats all containing nuts and dairy. They did serve coconut water (in a coconut with strawberries and a slice of orange) when we got off our bus from MCO which was safe, Also, buses drop off at TTC and catching the monorail meant we didn’t get into the parks until an hour after we started.

We are on our way home from our short Nov/Dec trip. We had a great time but we did hit some crowds. I wish we could have stayed another few days because we didn’t have enough time at Epcot

Only four more days til our arrival. Which means I’m now doing all the fun stuff like tip envelopes and thank you cards for cast members. I love this part.

That’s just lovely. And those dresses are amazing. Wonderful work. Glad that you all are having fun.

I love The Harmonious soundtrack it’s my go to on the treadmill when I’m not motivated

For those that are wondering I'm pretty sure the company here is Citadel Securities in case you wanted to polish up the resume. I've been seeing the logo around everywhere.

Got back from our hectic but exciting trip and the surprise band was ColdPlay along with DJ Diplo and Carly Rae Jepsen

It is. And it’s really hard to get into (and stay). My DH has been with them for 17 years.

They’re moving headquarters form Chicago to Miami.

I'm here now. Last night, Monday 12/5, was pretty crowded in the Mk, definitely more than the crowd level 6 that TP had predicted. However, we were only there from 4 to 9:30. When we left the crowds were way down, and It's possible that the morning was very light...so the average crowd was probably less than the hours I experienced.

We didn't get too much done and never got to Fantasy Land, but the Enchantment castle projections were exquisite!!

Today we're heading for the AK and hoping for low to medium crowds ️

On our way to Pop Century from Sarasota! So excited for the Christmas party tonight!
