I need to check on this thread more often..it takes me sooo long to catch up!!

 

[disneyeveryyear]

disneyeveryyear - Welcome back! we want pictures!!! Did you get to see any Christmas decorations/parades/etc before heading home? If so I'd love a preview. Even the THREE days we have left are too many.

Christmas was beginning to happen in quite a few different places.

MK - Christmas decorations are up on Main Street. I love the garland they use. As of right now, the main tree is set up down by the castle hub. We heard it was due to the parade, and other reasons, but it will supposedly be moved back to the train station circle soon. They are also playing Christmas carols on the Main Street speakers. The 3:00 parade is the regular snowglobe parade. I don't think they start doing the Christmas parade until MVMCP is finished.

EPCOT - Christmas decorations up in front of SP with poinsettias, etc. The walkway to WS is covered in lights. The entrance to WS has the big tree all lit and beautiful. Most of the countries don't have too much up yet for Christmas, but the American pavillion had the huge gingerbread house in the restaurant, and a tree outside. They were setting up for the CP when we were there Thursday night. Illuminations is as usual.

AK - Big tree out front with the beautiful animal ornaments. We saw Jingle Jangle Jungle Parade. It was fun to watch. Lots of Christmas carols being sung.

MGM - really decked out for Christmas. We were there Monday the 14th for the inaugural Holly Days Stars n Cars Motor Parade (or whatever it is called). It was really cute and very Christmassy. The big guy was even present in the last float. The Osobrne Festival of Lights also started on the 14th. We walked through it after Fantasmic and enjoyed it snowing in Floriday. DD6 saw Santa Goofy and Pluto back there. The park is also decorated with trees, etc.

We stayed at OKW, and it was midweek before we saw some garland go up on light poles, and the lobby still wasn't decorated when we left on Friday a.m. We ate at WCC in the WL on Sunday night and they weren't decorated yet either.

I am going to download some pictures so I'll be able to add some soon!

Thanks for the update! We can't wait. I do have to admit that I was disappointed that the parades were changing over so early. Terra's favorite parade is the Jammin' Jungle Parade. I was hoping that she would get to see the regular one the first few days that we are there and the Christmas one later in the week. Oh well, she likes the animal puppets most so those should at least be the same.

I'll look forward to seeing your pictures.

Did you wash them BEFORE you put the transfers on? T-shirts tend to shrink a little, so that could be why your transfer crinkled.

Yes, I washed and ireoned the T-shirts before I put the transfers on. They are only cheap Primark ones - £1.50 for Christian and £2.50 for Josef. perhaps I should buy dearer ones next time.

Unless LSU loses to Arkansas next week (and they shouldn't), LSU will be playing Georgia in the championship. The only reason they "look" behind Auburn when you see the standings on TV is because Auburn has played one more game than us. Things will even out next week.

I feel certain that ya'll can beat Arkansas. That is a defenite. I would like to know from Denise that if the SEC is UGA and LSU who she is going to pull for. Let us know Denise??

We know what shirts to look for so I'll be on the lookout! I posted our itineray a few pages ago if you get a chance - see if we match up anywhere.

 

[disney newbie]

Hi there, I am ordering shirts to put my disney design on for our upcoming trip. (By the way thank you so much julia & nicks mom, I love it) I am giving the shirts as Christmas presents. My question is, do you think the guys would wear lime green shirts or should i just get white?

None of the guys in my family would wear lime green. I'd go with the white.

Great! We will be hitting WL sometime on the 28th, but I don't know when yet. We have to take DSis to the airport that afternoon, and will be hitting the resorts late afternoon/early evening. We'll definitely keep an eye out for you at MK on the 29th. Are you doing Fantasmic on the 3rd?

I spent 3 more hours outside putting up Christmas Decorations this afternoon. We had a beautiful day here, temps in the high 50s and the sun was shining. I still have some more decorations to put up outside and all the candles in the windows, but I took a few photos of what I've done so far.

If you click on them a larger photo comes up.
The third photo has a blow up Santa sitting on an igloo and the candy canes to either side, very blurry.
Some are blurry, I can't seem to not move when taking them. I guess I need a tripod. I will take better photos once I finish decorating.

Oh yeah, I also got all the bedrooms completely cleaned for the birthday party. I feel like I actually accomplished something today.

The house looks great! I wish I felt productive! I've read for 7 hours now and have so much more to do!

Can't wait to see more pictures!

That was a whole lot of exclamation points

Deb --

You were really busy today! It was a gorgeous day here with highs in the low 60s. Beautiful day, but I was inside making my Mom's recipe for Chex Snax Mix from the 1950s. One thing crossed of my holiday list. Oh, and I finished my Christmas shopping this week too! Now, on to the Scotch Shortbreads and then I am done with cooking for Christmas. Of course, our DDs are both coming home for Thanksgiving, so there will be that kind of cooking this week!

 

[mommykds]

BTW, Anthony was looking pretty good last year when we went.

Ok time for me to fess up...I have used to have a secret crush on Captain Feathersword.

 

[JnEsWDWMom]

Not yet I dont think. I can't IMAGINE how many pages she'll see when she logs on!

That's why I started fresh! Did anything exciting happen while I was gone? After two weeks, it was too many pages to even count.

Well, we got our own board! We thought Kate was leaving, and Baloo may be taking a break.... because of said board, sort of. It really was kind of a whirlwind, potentially pointless, definitely unneccessary few days of drama. I'm sure you can find out more on this thread or the craft board, but we're not talking about it anymore

Denise's kids had surgery (replacing tubes in their ears) on Thursday. All three of them. Rees also lost a tooth.

Um.. some new designs were made. Kate, Amy and their families had a game night.

Virtually everyone was sick.

That's the gist of it..... anyone else, feel free to add
