Love the fact that you are doing your trip report ~ with pics!! ~ as you are on your trip. You are a trip report goddess

The first picture is cute. Looks like Nellie is sort of sneaking into your picture

That gingerbread cookie looks awesome! Was it tasty?
Too bad your food wasn't very good at Coral Reef. I've heard mixed reviews on the food, but the atmosphere always gets great scores...
The candlelight processional is a beautiful show. It really puts you in the mood for Christmas

That's fun that your husband and son got to see some sports celebs. I wouldn't know who any of them are

I'm guessing the pictures you posted are famous??

Enjoy your next couple days

Sweet another live action trip report. Very cool that you are able to get the report and pictures rolling on the same night. That is something I always planned on doing but it just doesn't work out too well. I'm never on my computer and when I'm in the room it's usually to rest up from exhaustion. Awesome pictures and I can't wait to see more!

Slept in until 9:00... what the heck is that?

In my younger Disney Days I would have been up at 6am and gone!

So today's schedule is to find some food quickly for my men then to Hollywood Studios for the day and stay to see the Osbourne Lights! Yay! Then back across the street to EPCOT for dinner at Les Chefs de France and Illuminations! Another Yay! We will be staying late at EPCOT because it is an Extra Magic Hours tonight and open until 12:30am. We'll see how long we last! Bye.... off to the parks!

Cousininmiami: do you ever get any sleep!?! I do love the fact we're getting simultaneous trip reporting - it's gotta be a first around here!

Since you didn't wake up until 9, you should make it to 00:30 no problem

Good morning all! Well, got in last night at 1am... a very long Disney day!
First off we went to the Wilderness Lodge for a fantastic breakfast at the Roaring Forks! A nice place to go when you have a bottomless pit Son with you, he ate a lot! And the bonus was some beautiful pictures of the most gorgeous Christmas tree and decorations ever! It's beautiful there!
Then off to Hollywood Studios around 11am, we waited at Toy Story for about an hour and I got beat by both of my boys. While they were waiting in line I ran off to get Rockin' Roller Coaster Fast Passes (yes I walked about 20 miles yesterday by the way)

. Then off to see The Muppets 3D, and crisscross over to Rockin' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror! We ended out rides at Star Tours, now there is a lot more shopping, eating and picture taking along the way but that was the main part of the day.
Then we got at the end of New York Street to wait around for the Osbourne lights. Hard to describe, words alone cannot, it was breathtaking! (insert a lot of pictures here later... tee- hee!!!!!!!)
OK, I must finish later, gotta get ready for Magic Kingdom! Bye!

I'm interested to hear and see about Roaring Forks!
You're right about the Osborne Lights ~ they really are hard to describe to those who have never seen them. Even photos don't do them justice!
Enjoy your last day

Awesome reporting and fab pics so far!!!! Pardon my asking, but is Roaring Forks a buffet? I am not very familiar with some of the dining locations and am looking for some dining possibilites for January.
Looking forward to hearing about the rest of the trip!

Well I'm sitting in The Plaza restaurant in Magic Kingdom having an early dinner! I just met with a bunch of people at the Subsonic meetup and met The famous Sub himself, Adam. I think we are meeting up later during fireworks and maybe some late rides, the park us open until 1am!!
