Keep checking back for more updates! Fingers crossed that the photos work! LOL!
Yay! Hope you enjoy!Following along!
We kept trying to convince him to put Duffy in the bag with our other stuff. I had a fear that he'd let go of Duffy to grab onto a handle and Duffy would fly up and we'd lose him. I was honestly thrilled to death when I looked over and saw how tightly he was holding onto him! LOL!
Thank you!!
It's so funny the stuff he picks out. He didn't get to go overboard this trip like he's done many times before but when he did pick out something it was a pretty thoughtful decision before he did. The winter Mickey ear hat with the gloves built in was a great choice because since we've gotten home it's been dang cold every day!I loved reading your report and hearing how spectacularly well your son did with everything. You must be such a proud mom that he was willing to try so many new things! And I gotta say, he picked out the best souvenirs.
I was wondering where you happened to end up. I was going to try to reach out to you while we were there but figured if you're like me, you're busy as heck! There was a family that checked in right before us and left the same day we did and I kept telling my husband "I wonder if that's her" but they were in Jamaica building 43 with us so nope! It'd be funny to look through each other's photos from the trip to see if we crept into any in the background! LOL!
Yeah, kept looking around to see if I'd recognize anyone from here but, no, didn't happen! Anyway, haven't gone through pictures that thorough because, well it's been SUPER CRAZY here just as you said that your house is! That time of year I guess!?Yay! Hope you enjoy!

Yeah I now know why we have never done a December trip... when you get back everything is insane already but add in the holiday prep and OMG!
Thanks so much for reading!
For whatever reason, this was the trip to start a new phase. He was absolutely extactic each time a character was nearing our table. He was smiling bigger than I've seen in a long time and in almost every case was bouncing up and down in his seat. We decided this trip he'd have every character he met hold Duffy for the photos and that just seemed to highten the intensity of his excitement. He'd ask them quietly to do it and when they took him he'd just light up. Honestly this trip made for some of the best character interactions we've ever had.
After dinner we hopped onto the monorail to head to the Poly and check out their decorations. Being the first time we've done this we focused only on the lobby's of each resort. I found out later that we missed out on some great stuff outside. Oh well... next time!
While at the Poly we came across this little baby... Bill being a huge Grumpy fan, there was no passing this one up, we had to grab it!
After the Poly (where I tried to get another cupcake and failed) we headed over to the Grand Floridian. Aaron absolutely loved the gingerbread house but as typical we had to drag him away from it else he'd want to spend our entire budget the first night.
Once back at the Contemporary we headed out to our car but stopped to check out the tree outside now that it was lit up. While out there I noticed one of the rooms in the resort had their entire railing covered in lights. So cool!
By now Aaron was exhausted so we hopped into the car and headed back for a great night's sleep at the resort!
It is so very much his new favorite (and that's saying a lot because he's got quite a few).
