Just read your entire PTR and am loving your plans! You are going to have the best time!!!!
Yay! Welcome aboard!! I've noticed as the years have gone by, I enjoy writing PTRs less and less...but it's easier as the trip gets closer b/c my excitement level amps up!! I'm already thinking about the TR, and wondering what's going to happen on our trip
Definitely putting the cart before the horse, lol
Love your Christmas decorations, very nice!
Plans sound great so far, I think it is a good idea to stay clear of parks NYE and your dinner plans sound perfect. You can walk between the GF and Poly and watch fireworks right from there!
I am the opposite, living up North, I look out the window and pray not to see snowflakes, lol! I feel for you all in the south. I can’t believe how people just abandon their vehicles on the road, yikes! NC really got hit from what I saw on the news! We don’t stand still here unless we get over 20” of snow at one time, lol! So far we are having a more mild December with very little snowfall and ILOVEIT!!
Christmas is my favorite - I just love the cozy glow from all the lights. I have some kind of seasonal decorations up starting in September, so I always feel like my house is empty and blah when January rolls around and I put everything back to "normal"
I hope it ends up being a fun NYE. After how hectic it was last year, getting stuck on that bus then dealing with the crowds - I have no desire to repeat that!! There is a teeny tiny part of me that kind of wants to pop over to the MK just to say we did, but I know this is one night I need to take it easy.
Aw, I'm sure getting snow more frequently would be such a chore!! I'm realistic about that, but still glamorize it a little, lol! DH was being pretty aggressively recruited by a company based near Madison, WI at one point last year, and I got super pumped about it until I started thinking about the realities of winter there. X vetoed moving away from his friends, and we stopped considering it. (terrible time to make that kind of move, right before high school with no established friends)
Loving your PTR! We are going to Universal for a few days before we hope over to Disney on New Years Eve, so I am in the planning stages right now too. Multiple trips to Disney so we know that we are going at an insane time, but who cares! Bonus trip for us too, so if we don't get much done this trip thats okay. There is always next time! We are staying at CBR, but I would love to be able to do the Poly some time. Have fun doing your count down!
You're brave, and have a good attitude about the craziness!! I tried to be cool about it last year, but I think I failed, LOL!! As you can see, I'm not going to be in a park very long on NYE
(although, like I told DisneyAndi, part of me wants to visit MK that evening. So maybe I'm not as anti-insanity as I say I am
Ooooohhhhh! I want to see the Harry Potter one!!!
This is on our to-do list for January. We've been 3 times since it opened and still haven't seen it at night.
Sounds like some fun plans! We want to do the new rhino tour too, one day.
Here is the stock photo for the HP one:
I may wear it on travel days since we're not going to Universal. I think it's cute! I'll post the picture of it in person when it arrives. The shop is only about 20 miles away, but it's in a busy college area so I just order online. Yes, I am that lazy!!
Same for me with Pandora!! It's the whole reason I made a dinner ADR in Animal Kingdom - I knew Yak and Yeti would be a must do for DH and the kids, so it's the perfect excuse for sticking around. Thank goodness it gets dark early this time of year!!
We'd been considering a summer trip to Colorado, and they have a similar rhino experience at the Denver Zoo that I wanted to book...can you believe it's cheaper at Disney?? I was excited to see I could combine my obsession with Animal Kingdom with my rhino obsession
