šoš Date: November 28th (Sunday) to December 16th (Thursday).

šoš Thank you. I have the easiest and the best job. I get to hold all the babies. Debbie takes all the pictures. I love doing this every year. But please...they are very lucky to have all the great nurses that help put all this together. All the nurses are the real Santa helpers. šoš

šoš And thank you both. I can't wait until December. šoš

Wow Ray, that's a huge trip! You'll have to take a vacation to recuperate from your vacation!
You're missing a very important meet on Monday, Dec. 13, and that's the 2 pm trivia meet at MGM Studios. Linda and I will be there, and we look forward to seeing you again. Try to make it if you can!

Wow what a neat trip you have planned. Reads like you are going to have a great time. Keep us all posted. Hopefully we'll be there from December 4-12, but we're not doing the Mousefest. This will be our first Christmas trip to Disney.

šoš Hi, Linda. You are going to have a wonderful time at WDW in December. Make sure that you make time to visit the four to five story lobby christmas trees and decorations in the Grand Floridian and Wilderness Lodge Resorts. They are breathtaking. šoš

šoš And if you are visiting the Contemporary Resort the same night as MVMCP, see if you can time your visit on the top floor at the California Grill to watch the special MK MVMCP fireworks. They even extend in a circle around the MK park into the lake area. It's awesome. šoš

šoš And don't miss the EPCOT main christmas tree lighting and show around 6:00 P.M.. Then you can walk around the world to the American pavillion and watch the Christmas Processional. But get in line early on the right side of the entrance. This is free, but people line up early. šoš

šoš During the day you could visit each country in EPCOT and hear their version of Christmas or the holidays. In Mexico they have the three wise men, and in Canada, a Santa. But I get confused with the Canandian and German names for Santa. It's great to go by each country and hear their stories. šoš

šoš And this year, I hear that MGM is bringing back the millions and millions of christmas lights called Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights, and snowing at night. šoš

šoš O.K...I'm getting a little excited. I'll stop here...lol. Except all of Mousefest is free except for a few things sponsored by MouseEarsVacations, like the Dessert Party and Adventurer's Club events that are included in their package. Everything else just requires a park entrance admission or to help pay for a Illumination's cruise. šoš

šoš The main one to two hour 2004 Mousefest Meet is also free and will have many of the people that have created web sites and written books like Dave and Jennifer Marx and their PassPorter. If you have time you and everyone should just come and visit. Last year they gave away a lot neat stuff. šoš

Re: šoš Initial Itinerary before times officially posted. šoš

<font color="blue"> šoš Wow...I cannot believe that I may be doing all of this. šoš

šoš I had a thought. If I am not to tired when I arrive, that I could drive to the Contemporary Resort's California Grille and watch the MVMCP special fireworks. šoš

šoš Last year, I didn't really feel like eating a full meal that night, so the castmember suggested that I sit in one of the comfortable lounge chairs, that just so happen to be next to the windows, and take a look at the desserts. šoš

šoš I had a wonderful view of all the MVMCP fireworks that had a finale that encircled the Magic Kingdom park. The MVMCP fireworks even started from areas in front of the lake at the Contemporary Resort. A great view at eye level. šoš

šoš This might be a great way to start my vacation. šoš
