Date: We’re leaving a couple of days after Christmas probably around December 28, 29 or 30 for 6 or 7 days. (We’re in the early stages of planning.) [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Adventurers: Me - Hollie 22 (Will be my 5th time going.)
My B/F Chris 21 (Will be his 2nd time going)
Resort/Hotel: Caribbean Beach or The Polynesian (Most likely the Polynesian...we hear it's really romantic [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] )
Celebration: For R&R (before we lose our minds. [img]graemlins/dizzy.gif[/img] ) and plus we went last year and loved it. We went to Florida this year and did all the other stuff like Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Sea World, and Discovery Cove (which I absolutely loved [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img] ). I felt like I missed out on not going to Disney while we were down there especially since someone I work with went the same week and I saw all of his pictures it really made me miss it.
Meetings: No set plans yet. I’ll let you all know when we do. [img]graemlins/wavin.gif[/img] . We are busy doing lots of [img]graemlins/puter.gif[/img] and [img]graemlins/read.gif[/img] .

**********************UPDATE**********************

Date: We were originally planning to leave a couple days after Christmas and be there for New Years. Well that has all changed. After lots of thinking and price checking we decided it would be better to go before Christmas…plus it’s A LOT cheaper. So now we are deciding on dates. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be December 13-20. I'll let you know when we know for sure. Now we get to go to MVMCP and get to see all the Christmas decorations. Well back to planning all the details. [img]graemlins/dizzy.gif[/img]

Adventurers: Me - Hollie 22 (Will be my 5th time going.)
My B/F Chris 21 (Will be his 2nd time going)
We are both big planning freaks!!

Resort/Hotel: We have also finally decided that we are defiantly staying at The Polynesian in Tokelau Garden view. We are both VERY excited about staying there. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Celebration: Well...Mostly for R&R (before we lose our minds) [img]graemlins/dizzy.gif[/img] but also for our anniversary. We will be going out for 4 years by that time. [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]

Meetings: No set plans yet. I’ll let you all know when we do. . We are busy doing lots of [img]graemlins/puter.gif[/img] and [img]graemlins/read.gif[/img] .

Just made the reservations today. Dec 6 - 15, at the Boardwalk Villas in a one bedroom home. My wife and I and a friend of ours going down. It'll be her first time to the World in ages, assuming we can find a sitter for her dogs that she's comfortable with. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Of course this may all change yet. We might switch over to Old Key West and take the roomier vacation home, but the dates will stay the same. Counting the days already.

[Bozrah_Disney_Fan]

Hey Paul,

Welcome to the boards. We'll be there the 4th through the 14th. At the BWV also. We'll be keeping an eye out for ya. I usually have my PP pin on my Hat.

If all works out maybe we can meet up on the boardwalk for a quick hello.

See you in the world,
