So I did a search for "Thanksgiving Trip Report" and yours came up- so glad I read it! First off, your family is adorable!! The kids outfits each day were awesome. Props to your son for playing along :) Where did you guys get your daughters outfits?
We are planning a trip this year for the week after Thanksgiving (probably leaving the Saturday after). So I was looking for trip reports for that time period to get an idea of weather/crowds/etc. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed reading!

Thanks for taking the time to read it. We have been (if I remember correctly) 4 of the past 5 years at thanksgiving. Its crowded, but manageable. Its a great time to be there. The week after is always great. Its less crowded then as well! Will you be doing a Christmas Party at the MK or seeing the Candlelight Processional in Epcot?
Have fun. I hope you enjoy it as much as us!

As far as the cloths, my wife orders all of the outfits from a few online sites. I know a few names. Lolloy Wolloy doodle is one and stitch this, bling that is another. Ill have to ask and let you know the rest later.

Your kids clothes are always a hit. Thinking we need a sticky that lists all the sights your wife shops at.
Everyone is always curious. I can't imagine the hours she has spent thoughtfully picking out clothing for each day of their trips and for the special days like Christmas. Props to her.

Thanks coach! I will definitely be looking into the outfit websites :)
We are planning on doing the Candlelight Processional but probably not the Christmas Party. My husband and I did the Halloween Party back in 2009 and were really disappointed. It was so crowded and we ended up not having enough to do everything we wanted to. And we only did party related things- characters, parade, shows etc. We didn't do any rides or stop to eat. It was a really frustrating experience and we swore we would never go to another party again unless they decided to sell less tickets.
This will be our first trip since we had our daughter. She will be almost 4. We can't wait!!

I know we are getting close to our next trip when the UPS truck visits the house daily for about a month!

I've seen the show three times, and like it better each time!

And you can tell Gary Sinise loves being there. He does an excellent job!

Thanks. We had a great time. Glad you enjoyed reading it. We love the Processional. We actually switched our processional dates from Dec to Nov to see him. We did it last year on Christmas Eve and he was the narrator then. He does an excellent job!

Before Christmas, there's Thanksgiving... of course!

Even though it did not end the way you wanted it, I loved your report and pictures.

Now, I'll go on and read your Christmas report *LOL*
