The Unexpected Festive Family Trip – Highs and Lows and Future Plans

[Palm trees]

Thanks again for sharing your trip report. And lucky you with two more trips planned, it must help to manage the post holiday blues knowing you've got other things coming up.

Thanks for your report, really enjoyed reading it.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your trip report, we normally head to Florida in the summer holidays so it was really interesting reading a report that covered the festive period.
I have to say great Disney bounding outfit and many pairs of Disney ears that you have.
I loved seeing your MIL enjoy Disney and being with your DS, my parents always come with us and I have told them as they are only in their 70’s they have many more trips yet to come, your MIL looked like she was having a ball the whole time.
Thanks once again for posting!

Really enjoyed reading your trip report, we were there over Christmas as well with my mum who is a young 85. Like you we took her on a number of rides that she loved and a couple she hated. It was a lovely experience and great to read how you got on too. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Really enjoyed your trip report. I think you did so well because you planned well and knew it would be busy, so less manic than expected was a nice bonus. Lovely to see your mil enjoying everything.

Thanks for reading. April is a short trip so I might think about a full report. Definitely up for doing a food report.

The location and stunning view from the Contemporary just made for the perfect start to the trip and a very magical Christmas morning. I loved reading that DS enjoyed showing his grandmother all the special things he enjoys at WDW. I'm hoping we get a small piece of that this summer.

I hope to one day be able to experience wdw at Christmas. Perhaps it felt more laid back because you already knew you had a trip planned for this summer? So, it didn't matter if you didn't get to ride a particular ride or see a show. Although saying that you seemed to get on everything, even the top rides so it wasn't like the crowds held you back.

I've loved looking at all the photos and seeing all the Christmas decorations it was a really special trip and I'm glad you shared it with us. I'm sure you were already leaning towards writing the trip report already anyway, but I'm glad to have been able to convince you to give it a go.

Enjoy your Easter eggstravaganza! I'm sure you will have a blast.

Certainly way more highs than lows. I'm your trip with your parents will be great too. Don't get me wrong we had our moments and ds loves to wind mil up, like with the fish eyes comments, but it was lovely family trip overall.

I think we did well to get as much done as we could, I think reading so many negative comments about visiting over Christmas really made me reign in my expectations of what we might get done and you are right anything we missed we just said we'll catch that in the summer...

Credit where credit is due, you were very influencial in helping me decide to do a full trippy. Thanks I have really enjoyed doing it and reliving the holiday.

Hope your DLP trip with Kate goes well.

Thank you, I'm not sure how we managed in the days before the dibb.

Although it's a really busy time I don't think it's that busy with British people, I know when we go in July I am aware of far more British people around.
