I'm going home!!

[buzz2001]

Okay everyone, I walk in the house tonight and my wife is making dinner. She says to my DD and I "oh, I got you guys a surprise for after dinner but I'm going to give it to you now". So I'm thinking chocolate, right? So she walks in with this box and I open it with my DD and there's a toothbrush and q-tips and toothpaste. Now I'm thinking I showered this morning...what the heck is this all about. She says "keep digging". After moving all the tissue paper aside I find a CSR room confirmation. Are you freaking kidding me! I almost hit the roof. I'm going to WDW!!

Lights, decorations, the whole nine yards! :thumbsup:This is the one time of year we've never been to WDW and we are going from 12/3 to 12/6. It won't be a long trip but we're going. :cloud9:

My DD is alittle worried about missing one day of AP history but life is just to short to worry about one class.

My DW had to get special permission from her big, big boss to miss two days of work because that's a big no no during December for her (its their busy time of year). She loves me!!

[Princess'Mom]

What a great surprise! I bet you are on :cloud9: Have fun!

[disneymom15]

What a nice surprise. Have fun. We'll be there Nov 29-Dec 4.

[It'sWDW4me]

I'm so happy for you! ENJOY! :party:

[brian2000boston]

So cool, congrats!

[Missy_Mouses_Dad]

Buzz, you are a lucky "dog"...

[KatMark]

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

[buzz2001]

Thanks everyone! Just 95 more days!! I can't believe I can say that!! :party2:

[IloveDisney71]

That's an amazing surprise!:mickey:

[PAYROLL PRINCESS]

That's an amazing time of year to visit the world! I'm jealous.

[ibelieveindisneymagic]

Wow! What a surprise! Have a great trip. :mickey:

[mouseketeer mom]

Love the surprise!!! Enjoy!!!

[GusNJacque]

My personal favorite time of year to visit.

What a nice surprise for you and how fun your wife made it.

Enjoy! :santa3:

[TheVBs]

Wow! What an amazing surprise! I don't know how she did it, I could never keep a secret like that. :blush: I'll bet the look on your faces was priceless! Did she get a picture?

[buzz2001]

Thanks again everyone! No pictures...then I would have known something was up.

This is the second time she surprised me with a trip. Six years ago she got me for my 40th birthday. We stayed at they Contemporary over Halloween and did the MNSSHP.

I'll definitely have to remember her at x-mas!

Does anyone know how the Osborne Lights work? Is that just something you walk through or is it a separate charge to enter?

How about the Candlelight Processional?

[wdwfan]

Osborn lights you just walk through, no extra charge. The Candlelight Processional is, in my opinion Fantastic! There is a lunch/dinner package you can purchase for guaranteed seats or you can stand in the line for guests who do not purchase package.
The info can be found on <snip> Moderator added INTERCOT link instead, http://www.intercot.com/infocentral/holidays/christmas/cp.asp

If you want to book the CP package the call in date is 90 days prior to arrival date and they do allow the + 10. You do have to call appears not able to use online booking system.

[DisneyorBust]

That's fantastic news! Congratulations!
December is my favorite time to visit WDW. Have a great time enjoying Osbourne Lights and the Candlelight Processional!

[Mousemates]

:congrats:

You could have saved yourself the trouble of three strokes of typing thou :mickey:...the letters C-S-R were completely unnecessary as there was no doubt as to which resort you would be going to (or which resort you call home). Thanks for all the info you offer up on Coronado Springs (its been really helpful to us in the past). Hope you all have a great trip.:thumbsup:

[Belster]

I am so happy for you what a wonderful surprise!

[Patricia]

How exciting! I'd love a surprise like that, but I'm usually the vacation planner.

There is information on the Candlelight Processional (http://www.intercot.com/infocentral/holidays/christmas/cp.asp) :ornament: right here on Intercot - in our Info Central section.



and the Osborne lights (http://www.intercot.com/infocentral/holidays/osbornelights/default.asp) :tree:


There is also a Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (http://www.intercot.com/infocentral/holidays/christmas/mvmcp.asp) while your there. :santa:

Have fun!

[NH Disneyfan]

I recommend you definitely get the Lunch/Dinner pkg for Candlelight. It is a fantastic concert/show. We did the general admin line one year and waited 2.5 hours. BArely got in. Last year we did the dining and it was fantastic. After you pay the bill at dinner, they give you a sticker to wear that gets you in. You have to specifically book the package. We waited 30 minutes that time and had a terrific seat! You can book 90 days out and that's coming up very quick!

Osborne lights is overwhelming and walk-through at your pace (mostly). We went years ago and got to stroll around at our own pace and it was great. So many lights but we got hot cocoa, cookies and the snow fell. It was relaxing. This past year we went after fantasmic and it was a nightmare. Too many people, SLOW, no cocoa (lines!) or cookies. You want to get over to the lights if you can find "off hours" because it can be crazy.

Have a great time. Surprises rock!

[Dsnygirl]

:mickey: How totally cool.... you've got yourself one sweet wife right there!! Have a GREAT time.... and enjoy being "home"!! :thumbsup: :)

[hoop de do]

I'll betcha dinner really tasted good, didn't it?
Have a great vaca and let us know how every thing went.

[SurferStitch]

That is so wonderful! You have such a thoughtful wife!

You will be arriving the same day DH and I are. Can't wait to see that gorgeous castle at Christmas again. :cloud9:

Have a magical trip!

[buzz2001]

Thanks again!

I'm definitely going to add those two holiday events to the itinerary.

[buzz2001]

Has anyone stayed/tried to watch the filming of the x-mas day parade? Is it worth the effort?

[mousetrapper]

The Osborne Lights are a must-do! We saw them for the first time during our last trip (Thanksgiving week 2007) and are really looking forward to them again this year.

We're also going to try MVMCP for the first time this trip! We can't wait.

Have a wonderful trip!

p.s. You remind me of my DH - I think he may love WDW more than our DDs!! :mickey:

[Kisobel]

see you there. dec 3-7.


kate
great surprise

[Magic Smiles]

I am jealous! You will have such a wonderful time.

[Checkers]

:mickey:Great news, have a wonderful time!!

[Jasper]

What an amazing surprise! I hope you gave her the biggest hug and kiss ever!!

It always amazes me when people tell stories like this because we have so little money that we could never plan a trip like this as a surprise. We have to scrimp and save for years to have enough to go that everyone knows what is going on.

[grumpypima]

What a great suprise!! CSR is my favorite resort too!! I love the way she presented it you to and your daughter. I may have to use it!

[brownie]

Great surprise! Have fun!

[buzz2001]

Thanks again everyone! 83 more days!!

[MickeyMousse]

What a terrific surprise and I love the way your DW did it with the box and all! :thumbsup:

I would love to do this to my DF however I can't keep a secret when it comes to going to Disney!!!! :secret:

[BelleandtheBeast]

Have fun, that is a great surprise.

[MississippiDisneyFreak]

Wow, I wish I could get a surprise like that:mickey:

[Meteora]

How wonderful!

If it helps at all, let your DD know that I once missed five days of my AP class in high school to go on a family vacation and still managed an A in the course and a 5 on the AP exam. She'll be fine! Everyone taking AP classes needs to relax and enjoy themselves sometimes!

[vws_and_disney]

you'll love it during christmas! We stayed at CSR this past holiday and the tree was amazing. have fun.

[buzz2001]

[Disney Penny]
