Pre-Trip My 1st Disney Christmas!! :)

Hi Friends!!

I am SO excited to be writing this PTR! I have dreamed of doing Christmas at Disney for years, and it's FINALLY happening!!! In my head it goes something like waking up at Disney on Christmas morning and opening presents in our room by the glow of our little tree. Then we head to the MK and it's empty and we frolic around the park for hours, smiling and singing carols with the CM's while sipping hot chocolate. For dinner we head over to LTT and have the perfect colonial Christmas dinner while eating by the fire.

Then I snap out of it! Especially after reading some of the comments on this site lol! I think I am prepared and know what to expect, this will be my 20th trip, but first one the week of Christmas! As of today we are 59 days out! Let's get started with some of the details!

Ours is at 5 pm, and takes around half an hour. Then (thanks to @Tuvalu for guiding me here) we're going to take a shuttle up to WL and check out the decorations, eat dinner (probably grab burgers from Geyser Point) and maybe have some cocoa before huffing it back to the hotel to try to catch a semi normal bedtime for the toddler.

Cool...there's a chance we may bump into one another then in the lobby!

You don’t drink coffee, right? I think I remember you saying that. Find some form of caffeine or sugar and stay up! At least for the Electrical Water Pageant.. Wilderness Lodge on Christmas Eve.. ahh..I’m so jealous of you and @DisneyBound2017 !!

Love those! And at 31, I’m not afraid to admit I also cried during the final episode. And got really excited when they replayed some episodes recently on the Disney channel.

HOLY CRAP GUYS...3 DAYS TIL DISNEY!!

I cannot believe my trip is this close! I hadn't allowed myself to reallllyyyy think about it and now, here it is!!! I have lots to do of course, but today is my last day of work until Jan 2nd, so tomorrow will be run around day! Thankfully, Brooklyn is also off so we are getting up early and hitting the mall to grab what we need. I have to get one or two more presents for my mom, something for my gram, dad and Kevin's parents. We also have to fit getting our nails done in there somehow too lol. I'll start to pack tomorrow night as well and then finish up on Saturday night after our Christmas dinner at my mom's. It's going to be hectic, but a good kind of excited chaos!! I'm sooooo exciteddddd!

This is my favorite thing!! I saw that and was like YAY!!!!!! Christmas is the one day we don't have any pool time available, so I was hoping it wouldn't be too terribly hot!
