Re: Our Very Merry (or not so Merry) Christmas at WDW

Day 4-We woke up late. Got ready & walked to the food court where we ordered pancakes, sausage & coffee. I bought some Micket Mouse rice crispy treats & antenna toppers for the kids. As we left our room for the last time, there were 3 huge hot air balloons floating across the sky. We loaded our vehicle & with happy hearts we headed home.

***We went to WDW in January, October & December of 2008. I think that was a little too much for us. I think it took some of the magic away for us. Once or twice a year, for us, is plenty. Plus, that first day nightmare with the key card that wouldn't work, combined with my headache, sort of set the tone for our entire visit. It was not our best trip to the Happiest Place on Earth. I am happy that we did MVMCP. But, we will probably not do it again. We haven't done MNSSHP yet, so we may wait & do that in 2009.

I'll post pictures soon.

brebre, as I was reading this TR and your TR from October, it occurred to me that you and your family seem like you'd really enjoy mixing a Disney cruise into your plans at some point! You can surround yourselves with the magic and comfort, but without the nonsense of bad keys, rude parade people and so forth.

I am interested to see if it's something that has appeal for you? I have to say, it is sounding better and better to me every time I go to the parks!
