December 22, continued We headed over to New Fantasyland, which we'd barely glimpsed as it was still behind scaffolding when we visited in 2012, to our 9:05 p.m. Be Our Guest dinner reservation. I made our reservations 180 days out, at 6:00 a.m. Central time, and 9:05 was STILL the best I...

Thank you, I think he's pretty awesome, haha! He got that LeapPad for Christmas last year had it's redeemed many a grocery store trip and long car ride! I have great things to say about holiday time, thanks for reading!

I hope you love it! It's such a quiet, beautiful and small resort. It isn't as showy as many of deluxes and more expensive of course than a value, but we find the quiet and the landscaping makes up for a either of those!

Most of my mom's family used to live in the Memphis and Covington area, but sadly most of my parents' generation has passed a way. I still have a cousin who lives in Germantown, though, and we saw her on our return trip. I'll say this about MS/Al and the drive -- it's a heck of a lot greener...

December 22, continued. We left Downtown Disney at about 1:30 p.m., passing an amusing incoming amass of people -- amusing in that half were dressed for winter and half were dressed for summer. It was 80 degrees when we left DTD, and the high that day was 86. Despite being used to humidity and...

Welcome to my Christmas Week 2013 Trip Report! Dates Traveled: December 22-December 27 Basic info: Port Orleans French Quarter Resort (second stay), 5 day Park Hopper and Deluxe Dining Plan. Our family: Jonah, age 5. This is his second trip to WDW (first was in May 2012 when he was 3.5)...

9 Days!!

I am SO thrilled for you. I know this has been a long time coming for you both, and I can't tell you how excited I am for you!

Magic Bands! Countdown Calendar! 23 DAYS TO GO!!

Loved the report!! Gorgeous girls, great detail, wonderful read.

With the Deluxe Dining Plan, we get 36 total meals for our stay (3 meals a day x 3 people x 4 nights). The Candlelight Processional, The Yachtsman and Cinderella's Royal Table are all 2 credits. We are paying OOP for T-Rex and Kona (since we won't be staying on property when we eat at Kona). We...

As of yesterday: paid in full! Disney Christmas is an official GO! I also paid in full for three days at Universal, so our official vacation dates are December 22-December 29, with the last three days at the swanky Best Western Plus Orlando Gateway (which still allows us early entry to the UNV...

Yep! I do the colored coded spread sheet. This is only our second trip *and* we're going the week of Christmas, so touring plans and carefully scheduled days. Once we've gone 10 or so times, I might chill out. ;) (I also have a fellow Disney lover friend from college with who I share plans for...

We took our then 3.5 year old last May and I didn't even THINK about Small World or Pirates being intense for him (I'd never been to WDW or DL before) and he was fine! He rode everything except Space (too short) and BMMTR (refurb). But we are HUGE movie goers and he's been in a dark theater at...

Stay strong! And last day tickets are an awesome idea! This is our first trip to CRT (we're doing Akershus as well this time, along with Garden Grill and Tusker House -- we LOVE our characters and I'm taking advantage of it while he's little enough to enjoy it). Last year we just did CP and Chef...

Stalker mode! Stalker mode! LOL, don't listen to me, I'm an enabler. I know you're a lot closer to arrival than I am, but there were some that had opened up between my 180 days and this week. You never know!

My CM changed it to 2 adult, 1 child after she reserved it, so we're good to go! :)

We're on the Deluxe Dining Plan. I checked with the CM that it shows that on my reservation, and it does. No pre-pay necessary!

We're driving from OK (about 23 hours if we drove straight through). However, we're going during Christmas time with a long holiday break, so we're road tripping. Family stop in TN, lunch with friends in Mobile, stopping in Ft. Walton Beach to see where my husband spent his childhood and then on...

Tell me I'm not the only weirdo. Or tell me I'm weirdo: I can laugh at myself. We are spending Christmas at WDW 12/22-12/26. I am in the awesome position, as a fan of Ariel, Tiana, Aurora, et al, of having a 5 year old boy who likes princesses as much as he likes pirates, cars or cowboys. So...
