The Official December 2007 Thread!!!

[IloveDisney71]

We will be there from Dec. 15 - 19th. We are staying at the Poly.Resort. We are attending the Candlelight Proc. on Monday the 17th. We are not planning on doing any room decorations, but I'm sure I'll be buying some type of Disney holiday hat to wear - in the spirit of the season - of course.

Anyone there during the first week and a half of December who sees a 29 year old red headed girl bouncing around like a 6 year old with ADD and a sugar buzz, may as well just stop and say, "Hi, Ana"!!!

No one notice, because I'll be the 50 year old acting like it's her 6th birthday!!!

Actually at MVMCP, I'll be the one with the T-shirt that says today is my birthday and I refuse to grow old. If you see me yell "Hi Carol!!!"

Nah, I don't hate you. I continue to change things throughout my trip as well. I'll be going to Cirque du Soleil for the 6pm showing on 12/8. Maybe we'll run into each other there.

Ah, that's the day we're drinking our way around the World Showcase. I'm not much of a drinker, but the boys really wanted give it a try, so that's the plan for that day.

[WonderlandsMostWanted]

OK, new MVMCP dates Dec 2 and Dec 11.
Cirque plan: Dec 4, 9:00 show.

[Momto2Princesses&1Pirate]

We will be at POR 12/8 to 12/15. I noticed that no one else is staying at POR the whole month. This seems strange.......

That's pretty cool. DH will be most likely drinking his way through Epcot on 12/10.

If you purchase your photopass in advance (and that will be extremely helpful for anyone going to the MVMCP), it will save you 20% off! It will cost you $99.95 [The pricing for PhotoPass at the parks is $125 now!]

I am not going in December but surprised to read that there a fee for PhotoPass now! Or, is this fee only for the PhotoCD?

Come on, people! Clearly, I cannot be the only one that's excited for our upcoming WDW trip! It's almost four more months to go! Time is flying by so fast and pretty soon we're gonna be in August! Think of it...pretty soon we'll be visiting The Mouse!

Photopass CD. Though they do charge for Photopass, I believe. I know at specialy events (MNSSHP, MVMCP, P&PP, etc.) the photopass is no longer free (they offer 50% off photos).

I'm excited, Lori, but right now I'm just majorly distracted!!!! I just finished inventory at my store, I have a seminar coming up in September for the store and need to make things for that, I have 6 Christmas stockings and a quilt to make and sell to a friend of mine and we're having our first home being built!! I'm just to busy right now to think about my WDW trip!!!!

Lori, I can't get excited, YET! I've been at Ft Wilderness for 3 weeks and after breakfast at the Poly in the morning we're going home.
We'll be back at the end of Oct for a long weekend. Already looking forward to that.

By the end of Nov. I will be beyond excited and most likely in full panic mode! The Christmas trip takes a lot of creative packing, like where to put all those decorations. I think as the time gets closer everyone thats going will be jumping for joy!!!

Strangers are friends we haven't met yet,

I've already seen Halloween decorations being sold in stores--and it's not even August yet!!!!
