| The "Its the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" PTR With the trip less than a month away, I figured it was time to start my first PTR. So, let’s back up and see how this trip came about. My last trip to the World was January 2007 with my sister and then future brother in law. We had a fabulous time, but I knew I wouldn’t be back until at least the following year, or so I thought. My best friend was getting married in September 2007, and I was the Maid of Honor.  With all the commitments I had for the wedding (not to mention the money I had to spend), I knew I would not be able to swing a trip. After the wedding, I began to save money and going in December 2008 would be perfect. Well, that did not happen either. My sister announced that she was getting married in November 2008, and again I was to be her Maid of Honor.  Again, money and commitments would spoil my chance at another trip to Disney. Now with everyone I know being married and no weddings to interfere, I began to look at another holiday trip. Now that you know the background story, here are the cast of characters: Me (Kathy, 33, and my 11th trip to WDW)  Mom (Donna, 56 and 4th trip to WDW, first since the 1987!)  We really wanted my Dad to join us, but he is a big party pooper! That’s OK; we will bring him back something nice. I don’t want to bore you all with too much, so I’ll be back with plans and all that good stuff a little later! Up Next: There’s no Place like the World for the Holidays

| There’s No Place like the World for the Holidays Thanks Everyone!!! My planning really began before the trip was even booked! Originally I had planned the idea of the trip so that my DSis and DBIL (they live in AZ) could meet us in Florida to spend Christmas as a family. But they are actually going to be in NY before Thanksgiving so a trip to WDW was out of the question for them. My mom and I were debating between right after Thanksgiving and the first full week in December. But I figured that it would be pretty quite after Thanksgiving before the Holiday crowds and Pop Warner started rolling in. Voile! November 29th-December 5th! To the Disney website I went to price different options for the trip. We both agreed that a value resort would be the best option. I’ve stayed at Pop Century before, so to start the New Year off right I booked our home away from home for our first ever Holiday Disney trip! Up Next: Let’s Talk ADRs!!

| Last year we went around the same time for our WDW trip, right after Thanksgiving. It was a great time to go. Crowds weren't bad and the temps weren't too bad either. I think we had maybe one or two days where we needed our winter coats at night, but mostly a hoodie for us. You're gonna have a lot of fun!
