Dang I didnt realize it had been *that* long... -em

Emily - hmmm, ok, yeah, now that I think about it, when I was there the first week of Dec 03, I did an Illuminations Cruise to see that, so that is not a "must-do" for me. Ditto the Jammin' Jingle parade - already have seen that. Hmmmm, I remember hearing about the Kim Possible thing being in testing - that did sound fun! As for AI - holy duh! How did I forget about that? And DITTO how on EARTH did I forget about them updating my favorite attraction with my new President? OY! I remember hearing about that! Can't wait! Hmmmm, chances are I may not even enter my favorite park this trip... or else just only do an EMH bit of time there... I'll be booking my airfare on Friday, but odds are it'll be me hauling myself to Houston and leaving my car at my best friend's then getting on a crack-of-dawn flight (that I'm sure John will not at all complain about getting me to the airport for! hehe) and then getting a flight out as late as possible on the day I leave. Hoping I can justify in my brain the purchase of a 4-day hopper, but I really think it'll end up being a 3 that I decide to buy. Of course, I don't expect to hop nearly as much as I have other times - I think once I'm up on Christmas Day, I'll be at Epcot and not leaving since that's where -em and I are having our Christmas dinner (Bistro de Paris). I'll likely hit the MK on arrival day since other than HoP everything else in that park will be a "nice to have" this trip, not a "must-have" experience. Em - yeah, I was still happily (as far as I knew) married the last time I was there... that was a LONG time ago! hehe And, actually, I think it was summer-ish of 08, not spring. Wait, no, the Flower & Garden Festival was going on... that's right! So, wow, yeah, it'll be about 18 months since my last visit when I make it back. Anyhow, keep an eye on this space for me to be geeking out in the near future, y'all. heheh And pity that they still only do HMH at DLR... that would nearly tip the scales for me, but just the whole "Christmas at Disney World" thing... ahhh.... It'll also be a good test of my commitment to not smoking. I'll be at 14 months by then, so hopefully being around that many children won't drive me to it! hehe

Keep up the good work! We'll need a Christmas trip report, I've never braved the parks (on either coast) on the day, but I love being there during the holidays!
Originally Posted By Labuda Hmmm, well, I AM on vacation for two and a half weeks during the holidays, so I promise I'll do my best to report on what it's like.

Originally Posted By Labuda hehe No worries, Jackie! I'll check email this evening and get the pic up on facebook shortly thereafter, I hope.
