This was our very first time visiting Disney World during the Christmas season and it was also the very best trip we have had this year so far.
I'm Kelly,
My DH, Bob
And our youngest Daughter, Kiya , she is 8 going on 16
Dates of the trip : December 3-8, 2016
This was our third trip this year, thanks to splurging on an Annual Pass. I went with my oldest son (23) at the beginning of June, and we stayed at the Contemporary. Bob and I went on a grown ups only trip for our 10th anniversary at the end of September ( see TR link below), we stayed at the Polynesian villas, and I'm also preparing to go again with my DD18 at the end of Feb. staying at the Beach Club Villas . I have officially turned into a Deluxe resort snob! I just love trying out the different resorts, they are all so different and fun. We've also become quite used to renting DVC points, which is a great way to save some moolah if you want to stay deluxe and not pay deluxe prices. Cha Ching!
We ended up doing the regular dining plan for our first two nights at WL, the DxDP for our two nights at the BWV, and paid out of pocket for meals on our last day since we had Club Level. Sound confusing? It really wasn't! Everything went very smoothly and I'd do it again that way in a heartbeat. We decided to also rent a car on this trip, which made resort hopping easier, and plus my DH got really tired of the busses last trip, so he was much happier having a car.
We also had a few other "firsts" on this vacation, not only our first time visiting in December, it was our first MVMCP, my first DISmeet, and our first time staying Club Level, and our first time renting a boat for a relaxing afternoon.
So I hope you'll join me as I write the next chapter in our year of Living Disney!
coming up next.....travel day and we check into the magic at Wilderness Lodge
