My Very Merry Christmas Celebration ~Updated 8/12

[pooh'smate]

Welcome !!!!

Come and join me as I plan for our first ever family trip to the happiest place on earth. We are also going during my favorite holiday of the year. I am so excited.​

First let me introduce you to the cast of the trip





My DH of 11 years, Jonathan. He is a great husband and father.
This was taken at Disney on Ice in March.
Jon has never been to Walt Disney World.







Me, Jessica, wife and mother.
I have been to Magic Kingdom and Epcot only once.
My first trip, when I was 6, was as a family vacation (more to come on that later).
I have also been on two day trips to MGM (no DHS).
The first day was in '92 and the second was in '93.





Our daughter, Alexia. She is a 4 year old that is full of life.
She will be 5 when we go on our trip.
She loves crafts, dinosaurs, and pretty much anything Disney.
She doesn't know about the trip yet. She has been asking when we will take her a lot lately too. I am not quite sure when I will tell her either.




The When: November 28 – December 12, 2010 Two glorious weeks!!!

The Where: POP Century

The Details: Free Dining ~ DDP ~ Jon requested that we have one sit down meal a day. We are going to upgrade to AP's when we arrive. We are also going to attend MVMCP.

My first reader.

No we have a drive through wildlife safari here in Nebraska. It is about 25 min from our place.

Subbing....we are going the same time!!! Except, I arrive a couple days after you but we arrive on the same day. We are staying with the QSDP this time. The other one just doesn't jive with my 2 year old.

I thought you might... I figured it was a LONG drive just to go to Wildlife Safari in Oregon...

Hello, my friend! I'm here! I'm in! I'm going to "live the dream" of TWO WEEKS during the fabulously festive holiday season through you.

Looking forward to this one...

I think if I had a 2 year old I would do the QSDP too. Where are you staying?

Yes that would be a LOOOONG drive. ( Especially with 3 girls.) I would have told you if we were headed your way.

I'm in!! I can't wait to hear about your glorious 2 week trip to Disney! WOOT!!!!

I'm in!! I can't wait to hear about your glorious 2 week trip to Disney! WOOT!!!!

I can't wait to share my plans and get some input.

I am here.... You all are going to have such a great time... Jon is gonna love it! I was in his shoes a few years ago, and now this is my 4th trip... Beware, it is addicting, so you will have to book a future trip... I tried to withhold the urge, but WDW is just too strong... I love how your DD has no idea... It is so much fun to surprise them...

 

[LutheranChick82]

My parents and I flew to Disney last year on Christmas Day and saw WDW in all it's Christmas splendor. Now, I have to say the Castle took my breath away seeing it all decked out in "icicles". My boyfriend and I are going in November and will get to see WDW in all it's splendor again!!! I can't wait to hear more about your trip. Definitely post pictures of when you tell your daughter - those pics are always priceless.

Sorry...I meant to say I am leaving the same day as you. We are staying at ASMo the first 3 nights then at the Marriott Harbour Lake for a week. I have a pre trip going as well if you're looking for something else to read.

 

[francis6306]

I'm certainly in on this one!! We'll be there in the middle of your trip staying at POP as well!! Come read my report! We'll have to meet up and let the girls play (my 2.5 and my friend's 4 y/o will be with us!). You can read my details in my PTR in my siggy!

 

[If U Had Wings]

Can't wait to hear all about your trip!

 

[MRYPPNS]

I'm here !!! So glad you are doing a PTR! Why does it feel like I've been waiting 2 years for this??

I am confident that he will love it. I will talk about Jon's love of Disney and a future trip in another update. Lexi will be sooo excited when she finds out.

I will post pictures of when I tell Lexi. I just have to figure out when and how to tell her.
