    Aw, thanks! It's possible that I overshare, so I'm glad you're enjoying! Wasn't Tiana lovely? We got some great pics.

    Trip Report COMPLETED: Christmas Week 2013: Nevermind the crowds, what's with all the churros?

    December 26, continued And one last pic with Tiana, because they turned out so great (the Photo Pass pics were awesome, too, gotta love natural light, Christmas decorations and a fairytale princess!). I needed a bathroom break, so of course I looked around and...at last I see the light...

    December 26 - Last WDW Day! We all woke up well rested and feeling great! I had done laundry the day before and Eddie got us all packed up (what a way to spend Christmas night, right?) and the car loaded. We checked out and drove over to the Magic Kingdom at 6:00 a.m., parking in the Aladdin...

    Trip Report COMPLETED: Christmas Week 2013: Nevermind the crowds, what's with all the churros?

    December 25, continued After dinner, we walked over and rode Space Ship Earth, which I think we waited about 10 minutes to ride. This time, I rode alone and Eddie and Jonah shared a car. Last year, Jonah shared with me and he set our language to French. Unlike my husband, I don't have an ear...

    Oh, how cool! We were seated to the left side (facing the screen) at Sci-Fi. I was really surprised at how manageable the crowds were, but I think EMH, FP+ and rope drop really worked in our favor.

    Christmas Day at WDW is truly magical! I will probably see FOTLK every time I go to WDW from now on. They boys might leave me, but oh well! I wish we could have finished that No Way Jose. It was truly amazing!

    Trip Report COMPLETED: Christmas Week 2013: Nevermind the crowds, what's with all the churros?

    December 25, continued We headed back to Future World so the boys could ride Test Track, which I decided that morning I really didn't want to do (I'm not into cars, at all, and I was feeling a little blah). So they took off to Test Track while I went shopping at Mouse Gears. I, however, forgot...

    Trip Report COMPLETED: Christmas Week 2013: Nevermind the crowds, what's with all the churros?

    December 25th - Christmas Day! I let us sleep in a bit and we woke at 6:00 (yeah, that's sleeping in for my son) to see what Santa had left! I had hung our stockings on our bed posts, but Jonah only had eyes for what was under the little red Christmas tree. He'd only asked Santa for one thing...

    Trip Report COMPLETED: Christmas Week 2013: Nevermind the crowds, what's with all the churros?

    December 24, continued We drove from Animal Kingdom to Downtown Disney and found surprisingly good midday parking in the lot near the Marketplace. We headed to the Lego Store to let Jonah use his gift card on a Star Wars Legos set. We also found a Legos mug with Jonah's name printed on it and...

    Thanks! I'm so glad you're enjoying the report! I have heard that the Plaza has great ice cream and ice cream treats, we will have to put it on our schedule for our 2016 trip. I am an ice cream fan, I think I had it three times this trip. The churro thing was just so ODD because they aren't...

    Thanks!!! Everest is something I really want to do again! I just Googled Mickey + hockey blanket and found those! I am mainly a Canucks fan, but there were no Canucks patterns so I went with my second fave...

    I agree with you about the safari, Susie! We watched a behind the scenes special on AK and the way the enclosures are designed is humane and brilliant! I think AK I the prettiest park, and I LOVE Epcot! I wish we could take a joint with you guys if we could ever make the schedules work!

    Trip Report COMPLETED: Christmas Week 2013: Nevermind the crowds, what's with all the churros?

    December 24, continued AK was another park where the 3 FP+ rule was daunting. I made one for the safaris and didn't need it with rope drop, didn't think I would need one for Festival of the Lion King, which was our "must do" at AK other than Everest, so I ended up making a FP+ for the Mickey...

    Trip Report COMPLETED: Christmas Week 2013: Nevermind the crowds, what's with all the churros?

    December 24 - Christmas Eve! I had initially read blogs stating that Epcot was a good choice for Christmas Day because it "swallowed" the crowds, so I made our Christmas Day plans there. I chose AK for Christmas Eve because I assumed (not ever having gone during the holidays and with one...

    My Sci-Fi food was more bland than bad. If I had been hungry, the sandwich and pickles would have been okay. But an instant milkshake is an instant milkshake, LOL. I was really stressed out about Jonah not feeling well and that kind of colored everything. The popcorn was good, later! Glad...

    December 23, continued Jonah awoke begrudgingly from his nap and we hopped another quick bus back to Hollywood Studios. I had made an early dinner ADR (4:55 p.m.) at Sci-Fi Dine In Theater since we were seeing the 6:30 p.m. Fantasmic! I had gone back and forth about just having a snack for...

    Thank you! I knew about the window decorating from reading Christmas trip reports, LOL. I did luck out in finding Christmas princess window clings that included Tiana (since we were at POFQ) on Amazon.

    Trip Report COMPLETED: Christmas Week 2013: Nevermind the crowds, what's with all the churros?

    December 23 In the interest of full-disclosure, I should note that the main reason we saw low crowds and low wait times during our Christmas week trip is that we faithfully do Rope Drop. We are all three natural early risers, so there's no point not going to ride Toy Story with little standby...
