DAY THREE~~CHRISTMAS EVE~~DVC AND POOH

After making our appointment, I called dh and told him what I had done....I'd gotten us 3 Fast Passes each to use whenever we wanted--alll we had to do was sit through an hour spiel on the DVC. There was child care/gameroom for the boys so even though Trey grumbled a bit, dh said ok and off we went to Saratoga Springs to tour the resort. We went through the models, and spoke w/ a wonderful sales rep. The rooms were beautiful and I could see us using them over and over for years to bring our boys and later our grandchildren. I was ready to sign right then and there of course, but knew that financially, the time just wasn't right for us. It was a great incentive and deal and we'll probably kick ourselves later, but with Trey's soccer expenses coming up, it's just not feasible. Some day though---we WILL be joining.
We ended our tour with ice cream and then headed out because we had ADRs at Crystal Palace for dinner. We took the Ferry over to MK instead of the monorail. It ended up being faster most of the week. We got to watch the castle lights come on from the boat, which was very pretty.
Crystal Palace was yummy, but very very crowded. I felt like we were practically sitting in the laps of the people at the next table. I'm not sure I'll go back there again. We saw the Pooh characters and the boys got all their autographs. Kyle joined in the parade around the restaurant w/ the characters---this surprised me. He volunteered to do that at every place they had the parades. He used to be too shy to ever do something like that. Kindergarten has brought him out of some of his shyness.
After dinner, we came out to Main Street just in time for Spectromagic and then headed to Tomorrowland. We were going to see Monsters Inc Laugh Floor and just as we sat down. Kyle needed to go to the bathroom, so he and I left. As we came out of the restroom, Wishes (fireworks) was starting, so we watched that and then met Eddie and Trey. We were near the Indy cars, so the guys rode that and it started raining so we headed back to the hotel.
The next day---Christmas at Epcot!
