Just booked for 3 nights after the 4 day Dream Dec 12-15th Love Xmas at the Lodge, I especially love after coming home from MVMCP and just hopping on the boat all tuckered out.

Sounds like a great plan!

My first Christmas experience at the World was just a couple of years ago, and it was spectacular. The Lodge is gorgeous, the Osborne Lights amazing, and MVMCP parade is pure happiness. We've never stayed at the World after a cruise, though we've done (and will do in July) the opposite. I wish Walt had planned the Storybook Land boat ride for the World, too.

Last time we did cruise/then WDW and I found the parks so hectic and crowded after the relaxing cruise but it was also spring break time. I hope it won't be as insane this time.

Although we learned our lesson one year, don't go to Osbourne lights on a Saturday night!

Good Morning Groupies!
Once agin, I've fallen VERY behind, but have spent time this morning getting caught up. I'm certain I won't remember everything.....

tea pot What great plans you have! I'm thinking 2013 will be a very good year and all your planning will fall into place without a hitch! Would love to be retired and join you!

bagsmom I can 'feel' your excitement! Just keep coming by the thread and before you know it, you'll be in single digits! So thankful your friend had a better report. I'll continue to lift her in prayer.

Thanks deb & bill for posting the renovation photos. I did like the pinecones, but think the new theme is equally as nice. Not certain how I feel about the laminate flooring..... and agree the carpeting is a nice insulator against noise.

I'm really excited as I read through everyone's December plans. DDad and I will miss many of you as we've scheduled Dec. 13 - 21 for our trip. I think tea pot will be there with family - we'll have to schedule a 'mini-meet'! Eliza, have you settled on a date yet?

Enjoyed reading through the 'coaster' discussion. DDad and I always enjoyed riding nearly every coaster. Unfortunately I have 'issues' with my neck and had to give these up several years ago.

Inkmahm Sounds like you're on a good path! I hope the recumbent bike will be beneficial for you. Long story short: DDad built one of those (in the 70's) from old bicycle parts and rode it in a parade! I believe we still have it somewhere in the rafters of our garage.....

Our Aulani trip is looming on the horizon. My daily countdown is showing 22 days. We hope to do a day trip to the big island and see the volcano. It is publicized as a 16 hour tour - the next day may just need to be a spa day!

I planted the top of a pineapple about 8 years ago. I've faithfully watered and fed my dear plant. DDad has trimmed, potted and re-potted. We take it outdoors in the heat of the summer and bring it in in the winter. Lo and behold - my pineapple is having a pineapple! I figure it it will mature while we're in Hawaii.

Enjoy your day Groupies! I put my mom on a plane to NC early this morning. She'll be staying with my nephew and his family for the next 3 weeks. Need to get her out of this frigid air and into some warmer weather.

Our first Disney cruise, we did the cruise then WDW. Last year DH and I did WDW then the cruise. I like that better and will plan that way for any cruises out of Florida

Since we leave late on the 14th and we have seen y'all every Dec trip, we may have to do breakfast like we did our last trip.

Have a great time at Aulani. I want lots of details, since I hope DH and I will go there someday.

Hope your little 'pineapple' matures as planned. Never have tried a pineapple. Have done a few avocados and lots of sweet potatoes.

We are in single digit countdown for our Magic cruise out of Galveston next week. Kati is super excited.

I can't respond to each post -- trying to do lots of Mom stuff and help with homework.

But yay to all -- pineapple, upcoming trips, biking, cruises, Christmas WDW -- all that stuff.

I love reading it! Gives me my smiles and helps me hang in there for another 4 + months!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWOKATS !!!

Twokats,

Maria "gave" you some mugs. I'll give you some freshly brewed Starbuck's cybercoffee to put in them. And would you like some flavored creamer? I suggest the Heath Toffee flavor. Mmmmmm.

Enjoy your birthday!

Happy Birthday twokats and Claire_ont!!!!!!

Went to our 1st pro Hockey game last night, Hurricanes vs. Sabres. Really enjoyed it, even our non sports loving DD loved it! T and I used to go to some minor league hockey a few yrs back but this is a whole different animal.

That is awesome! DH got me a 6 game weekend plan for my birthday. We went this past week and have another game coming up on the 2nd against the Hurricanes. So glad hockey is back. And you are right, the NHL is so different.

Happy birthday Twokats and Claire!
