Pre-Trip Flights are cheap in November so.....Let's Go!!!

Welp
Here we go again....
I feel incredibly lucky to announce that we are going back to Disney World!!!
Lets get started!!

Who:
My Mom and I! For those of you who just read my last TR my mom and I traveled to DL together just this past August! (We don't usually wear matching outfits...)
232323232%7Ffp93232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv3%3B4%3B%3A%3Enu%3D3359%3E459%3E867%3EWSNRCG%3D49he8fe%3A0df35%2F76g50c95h%2Fh895434h5g66ot1lsi


When?
We will be going from November 14th-November 21st

Where?
We are staying at Art of Animation in the Lion King Suites ;) It seems a bit excessive to have a suite for two people but I booked this trip super last minute (as in 61 days out/had to stay up until midnight to book Fast Passes) so thats all I could get. They offered me Art of Animation or Wilderness Lodge (for a villa aka a million dollars) and I hemmed and hawed over it until the guy on the phone offered me off site hotels and I was like I will take Art of Animation haha
We have never stayed here before so it will be nice to see

Why?
For quite some time I have been throwing around the idea of going to Disney alone because I wanted to check out the Food and Wine festival and my vacation time (I took off so I would be off for Thanksgiving) happened to coincide with the end of the Food and Wine Festival. I was never super serious about it UNTIL I realized two things: 1. I could go to Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party and 2. (and more importantly) I could go to see the Osborne Lights one last time!
So...we were on a drive to Rochester to visit my nephew and I happened to be looking at flights and noticed they were cheap. I made a comment about how flights were cheap (hence the title) and with some talking my Dad conceived my mom to go with me and I was no longer planning a solo trip !!! (I did NOT really want to go solo but I figured if I had to I would...)
We are so excited!!!!!!

Next up: The Plans :)

Sorry I have been MIA from my own PTR :p I've had a string of bad days at work (not bad, I guess, just long) but I wanted to post a few pictures of Disney Mail and our Christmas Outfits. I'm sure people aren't supposed to/don't dress up for the Christmas Party but I wanted to put together a little something :)
Disney Mail! This one has a 20% off coupon thing you can use at many of the Downtown Disney restaurants !

Woot Woot Incredibles Vacation
232323232%7Ffp93232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv36967%3Enu%3D3365%3E2%3A%3A%3E4%3A%3A%3EWSNRCG%3D%3A75d7%3B8h0cg3e%2F72h%3B0cdgh%2F877f9df39736ot1lsi

Here is our Christmas stuff
Christmas Magic Bands of course (it was tough for us to go away from our usual pink and yellow but we did it)
232323232%7Ffp93232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv354%3A9%3Enu%3D3365%3E2%3A%3A%3E4%3A%3A%3EWSNRCG%3D9%3B579e6g0678g%2F7g850c7e8%2F399959%3C586%3B%3Bot1lsi

I got the ears off the Disney Store online and then they sold out the next day
232323232%7Ffp93232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv396%3C4%3Enu%3D3365%3E2%3A%3A%3E4%3A%3A%3EWSNRCG%3D56h%3Ad9i90875f%2F76i90c6c3%2Ff77%3A%3B75%3A8999ot1lsi

I got us matching shirts off etsy (so linty in the picture haha)
232323232%7Ffp93232%3Euqcshlukaxroqdfv37745%3Enu%3D3365%3E2%3A%3A%3E4%3A%3A%3EWSNRCG%3D8697i%3Bf50g8eh%2F7%3A5c0%3A9c5%2F9cgf%3Afdc3d8%3Bot1lsi

Then we will wear leggings or maybe shorts if its hot with these sparkle skirts over (we wore these for the Princess Half Marathon and really liked them so my sister and I bought them for Bills games and now we are using them for this haha)

Ah I can't believe the countdown is so low...almost in the single digits!!!
PS. For those of you who have read my TRs before you will know that I am pretty obsessed with Joe and Ashley of See Ya Reel Soon and they will be there for like a day and a half that we will be...I would love it if I met them!!!

So I found a reservation at 1900 Park Fare at 11 am on our last day. I'm torn between that and my Crystal Palace reservation. Here is why: the CP reservation is at 8:40 am and the park opens at 9 meaning we could get into the MK early! However the 21st is the day the train is supposed to open again meaning a full opening show with the train that we would miss while we were at breakfast. What to do...

Big dilemma! I've never been in the park before opening, so that would definitely be a big draw for me. Plus, I love Crystal Palace, but have never been to 1900 Park Fare so it is hard for me to say for sure. Have you seen the opening show before? If so I think I might choose Crystal Palace and early entry in to MK. Good luck choosing!

We have decided to go with the Crystal Palace :) We are going back to Disney in May with most of the family *then I swear thats our last time for awhile* so my mom and I decided we could see the full opening show on that trip :)

What is it about the last week before a trip that always goes so slow?! I'm hoping today goes by fast I have work until 9:30 pm (interfering with the Bills game :( ) but we have interviews today for potential residents so that should break things up! Then tomorrow work until 5 or so then I'm free!
PS I got some decals to put on our Magic Bands off etsy

On a NON-Disney note... thanks for knocking off the Jets last night! Gives my Pats a nice cushy lead :happy:

I total saw you at EPCOT on the 20th! It was nighttime maybe around 630-7ish, you were taking a photo with your mom in front of Spaceship Earth, you were both wearing black shirts with the Christmas Mickey head on them. We were the family taking the picture right after you.
