21:05:09 [Suzy-CH] I'm so gglad that you are getting to go!
21:05:15 [MJ*CoHost] Yes believe me I am ready!!
21:05:28 [MJ*CoHost] Hi 3princesses & BetsyAnn
21:05:32 [3princesse] Hi vHi everyone
21:05:43 [Suzy-CH] Hello 3princesses! Welcome to the Disney on a Dollar
Chat! 
21:05:49 [Suzy-CH] Hi BetsyAnn!
21:05:52 [MJ*CoHost] It is a budget trip in true fashion. I got some good deals.
21:06:14 [MJ*CoHost] I am going to wait a few minutes to start in case we have some others show up.
21:06:25 [Suzy-CH] That's great MJ! I really, really, really wish that I could be there to meet everyone!
21:06:34 [BetsyAnn] Hey 3 princesses, SuzyQ and MargaretJ!
21:07:08 [MJ*CoHost] We will someday Suzy. I almost always go May/June because of Matt's school & try to go the 1st weekend in December if I can.
21:07:11 [BetsyAnn] Changing dress color!
21:07:47 [BetsyAnn] How is everyone doing tonight!
21:07:57 [Suzy-CH] I would like to try to go with Hubby next Mousefest. 
21:08:02 [3princesse] Doing great!
21:08:07 [MJ*CoHost] You are the same color BetsyAnn
21:08:24 [MJ*CoHost] Oh sorry I see that you were Pumpkin before
21:08:25 [3princesse] Only 28 days left till WDW
21:08:50 [Suzy-CH] Wow! 3ps! That is awesome!
21:08:59 [MJ*CoHost] I must have 26 then.
21:09:07 [BetsyAnn] That will pass in no time 3 princesses
21:09:36 [MJ*CoHost] OK you guys ready to do Disney on a Dollar?
21:09:40 [3princesse] I know, I bought the double strollers today!
21:09:41 [Suzy-CH] The holidays are creeping up so quickly and it seems like there is hardly any time in between!
21:09:53 [Suzy-CH] 3Ps, have you been before?
21:10:40 [3princesse] Yes, a few times. We've tried to go every year since my oldest was 4.
21:10:47 [BetsyAnn] I am down to 21 days -- thought I should start to plan soon!
21:11:02 [Suzy-CH] Shall we get the ball rollin?
21:11:11 [MJ*CoHost] For those that have Park Hopper Passes & may not want to use a day in the Parks this chat is for you.
21:11:25 [BetsyAnn] Sure!
21:11:37 [Suzy-CH] Wahoo!
21:11:52 [MJ*CoHost] Disney on a Dollar will give you ideas to have fun, enjoy Disney but save a Park Day.
21:12:28 [MJ*CoHost] Park Hopping is always big with us but now that Christmas time is approaching it gives Park Hopping a whole new look.
21:12:36 [Suzy-CH] { { Chari } }
21:12:41 [Suzy-CH] ChEri
21:12:43 [MJ*CoHost] Park Hopping should say Resort Hopping.
21:13:07 [Suzy-CH] I love resort hopping, MJ!
21:13:17 [BetsyAnn] that is lots of fun MJ!
21:13:35 [MJ*CoHost] One of my very favorite & FREE things to do in December is Resort Hop.
21:13:50 [MJ*CoHost] Do any of you have a favorite resort at Christmas?
21:14:11 [Suzy-CH] With kids, one can go to AKL or WL and get a list of hidden mickeys and do a hunt!
21:14:31 [Suzy-CH] . . . the adults can enjoy looking through the grounds.
21:14:40 [MJ*CoHost] I think my favorite is Grand Floridian.
21:14:57 [Suzy-CH] Does the GF have any hotel tours like WL?
21:15:10 [3princesse] I've never been at Christmas, but am looking forward to the WL this visit!
21:15:17 [BetsyAnn] I really like Beach Club!
21:15:34 [MJ*CoHost] I do not know if they do Suzy but the Resort is absolutely decked out for Christmas.
21:15:38 [Suzy-CH] 3Ps, are you staying at WL?
21:15:48 [MJ*CoHost] Have any of you ever been to the GF during Christmas
21:16:16 [Suzy-CH] I was working at DW during Christmas time, but never
got out of the Poly.
21:16:30 [MJ*CoHost] The Christmas Tree in the lobby is Huge.
21:16:48 [MJ*CoHost] They of course have the Band playing but also have Bell Ringers throughout the day.
21:16:48 [3princesse] Yes I am, for the first time.
21:16:59 [3princesse] Friends of mine have stayed there and said they loved it.
21:17:05 [BetsyAnn] Christmas time is a great time to resort hop -- most of the resorts are decked out
21:17:09 [BetsyAnn] Hey Timon!
21:17:10 [MJ*CoHost] One of the coolest things is the Gingerbread House.
21:17:19 [Suzy-CH] 3Ps, that's great! We are too and are looking forward to taking the free tours of the hotel.
21:17:29 [Suzy-CH] Hello Timon! Welcome to the Disney on a Dollar Chat!
21:17:42 [3princesse] I didn't realize they offer free tours.
21:17:46 [MJ*CoHost] There is a small Gingerbread House but then there is a Snack Shop that is a large Gingerbread House.
21:17:53 [Timon] Hi all...what's the topic
21:18:02 [Timon] Thank's Suzy
21:18:15 [MJ*CoHost] I heard that it takes them months to build the Snack
21:18:16 [BetsyAnn] That is at the Grand Floridian, MJ?
21:18:25 [MJ*CoHost] Shop Gingerbread House.
21:18:31 [Suzy-CH] Timon, the topic is touring Disney for free (without using a park day or spending $50)
21:18:54 [MJ*CoHost] Yes BetsyAnn. It is amazing. There are usually one or 2 people working inside.
21:19:22 [MJ*CoHost] Make sure you bring your camera when we do the Monorail Resorts BetsyAnn.
21:19:25 [BetsyAnn] That must be added to the growing list of things to do this DEC!
21:19:39 [Suzy-CH] Inside the gingerbread house, MJ? What do they do? Sell gingerbread? Better yet give it out for free???
21:20:08 [BetsyAnn] I will do that MJ!
21:20:23 [Suzy-CH] Another one of my free things to do (with the monorail resorts theme) is check out the Electric water pagent.
21:20:29 [MJ*CoHost] I don't know if they sell Gingerbread (don't like it) but they do sell snacks there. I wish it was big enough for guests to go in also.
21:20:48 [3princesse] I love the electric water pageant.
21:21:06 [MJ*CoHost] You are right Suzy that is another FREE thing to do at the GF. There is also the Lady Bug release.
21:21:08 [3princesse] I'm excited that this visit we can just walk outside and watch it from our resort
21:21:18 [Timon] Love the topic but I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes on the screen. I'm going to call it a night. Night all.
21:21:20 [Suzy-CH] For couples, you can't beat watching it from the Poly
beach under an umbrella. 
21:21:57 [MJ*CoHost] Good segue Suzy - what about the Polynesian. Anyone have Free things to do there?
21:22:02 [3princesse] We watched it from the Poly once, but with kids!!!
21:22:35 [MJ*CoHost] I love the Torch Lighting at the Polynesian.
21:22:41 [3princesse] I have to change the color of my ink, the green doesn't show well.
21:23:12 [Suzy-CH] Throughout the day (though check with the Guests Services) they have special goings on in the lobby (such as making leis)
21:23:38 [MJ*CoHost] I think we mentioned the WL but if you are staying there you can sign up to be the Flag Family.
21:23:51 [BetsyAnn] that green is a very bad color choice on the
background!
21:24:06 [MJ*CoHost] WL is also one of the best decorated for Christmas in my opinion.
21:24:12 [Suzy-CH] Often times the singer, Kaleo, will come out to the lobby from 'Ohanas adn sing to those sitting in the upstairsa seeting area (by the Tamboo lounge).
21:24:26 [MJ*CoHost] For some reason WL just seems so cozy & Christmasy to me.
21:24:37 [Suzy-CH] Love the green - hard to read.
21:24:38 [MJ*CoHost] Now that sounds cool Suzy.
21:25:09 [Suzy-CH] We plan on sending my nephews out on a WL hidden mickey hunt.
21:25:10 [MJ*CoHost] While we are over at the Magic Kingdom Resorts what about Fort Wilderness?
21:25:35 [Cinderella] HI guys. Have a few minutes to say hi and read up on good tips.
21:25:41 [Suzy-CH] Hello Cinderella! Welcome to the Disney on a Dollar
Chat!
21:25:43 [MJ*CoHost] I love looking for Hidden Mickey's.
21:25:53 [BetsyAnn] Hey Cinderella!
21:26:08 [Cinderella] I'm trying to read and see what was suggested so far.
21:26:14 [Suzy-CH] The campfire seems like it would be fun and you wouldn't necessarily have to spend $$ on smores.
21:26:18 [MJ*CoHost] During Christmas time lots of people who vacation at FW decorate their camp sites.
21:26:22 [BetsyAnn] The Trails in may be the best keep secret for saving money on a meal!
21:26:45 [Suzy-CH] I have read (on these awesome boards) that the campsites are ALL DECKED OUT for x-mas!
21:26:53 [Cinderella] Have you discussed visiting the resorts just to see the decorations at Christmas?
21:26:57 [BetsyAnn] Is the petting area free or low cost?
21:27:03 [MJ*CoHost] Well until the 50 of us get there on December 5th BetsyAnn. I am looking forward to that meal/
21:27:20 [Suzy-CH] Yes, Cinderella, that was top billing!
21:27:29 [MJ*CoHost] We are discussing that now Cinderella. On the Magic Kingdom Resorts now.
21:27:38 [MJ*CoHost] I think petting zoo is free.
21:27:56 [Cinderella] That's my plan to see all the decorations without it costing us anything.
21:27:56 [MJ*CoHost] I would love to see FW all decorated like home.
21:28:22 [Suzy-CH] From what I understand, petting zoo is free. Plus the boat ride over is nice . . . and free!
21:28:35 [MJ*CoHost] OK what about AKL? That resort has tons to do.
21:28:49 [Cinderella] Never been to FW believe it or not so I'd like to see their decorations. You said the decorate the campsites?
21:28:57 [MJ*CoHost] Boat rides are one of my favorite things to do.
21:29:17 [Suzy-CH] AKL is great! Adults can take in the quiet lounges (everywhere around the resort). . .
21:29:28 [Suzy-CH] . . . kids can do a hidden mickey search . . .
21:29:30 [MJ*CoHost] Yes Cinderella. Rosebud mentioned that many of the guests at FW bring lights & trees & really do it up there.
21:29:44 [Suzy-CH] . . . both can look at all the spectacular animals - worth the trip over!
21:29:49 [MJ*CoHost] AKL has a gorgeous tree in the lobby also.
21:29:50 [Cinderella] We hope to tour AKL before we have our dinner or afterward.
21:30:09 [BetsyAnn] AKL seems like a great place to just hang out!
21:30:22 [MJ*CoHost] Exactly animal watching is free & at night they have Night Vision Goggles to view the animals.
21:30:23 [Cinderella] Do they have a good lounge area?
21:30:35 [MJ*CoHost] Oh BetsyAnn you are going to LOVE it.
21:31:02 [MJ*CoHost] The lobby at AKL has lots of seating areas.
21:31:27 [Suzy-CH] Cinderella, yes they do! Check out: /forum/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=4367
21:31:31 [MJ*CoHost] AKL also has nightly Story Telling.
21:31:34 [Cinderella] I guess two throwaway cameras and five rolls of film won't be enough this trip. Better get more.
21:31:48 [Cinderella] Thanks Suzy - will check out that site.
21:31:51 [BetsyAnn] lol cinderella
21:32:00 [BetsyAnn] And I am looking forward to AKL!
21:32:14 [MJ*CoHost] I am not sure if these are daily or not at AKL but they have Cookie Decorating, Pelican & Flamingo Feeding.
21:32:27 [Suzy-CH] Don't miss the library on the left of the lobby at AKL.
21:33:03 [MJ*CoHost] The AKL is a Resort that definitely says Explore me.
21:33:18 [MJ*CoHost] What about the Epcot Resorts.
21:33:39 [MJ*CoHost] The Boardwalk has lots of free entertainment nightly
21:33:56 [Cinderella] Is there a listing of all the special Christmas activities at each resort?
21:34:23 [MJ*CoHost] Tha lobby last year had an old time Amusement Park in the center of the room - it was completley done in chocolate. White & dark chocolate.
21:34:48 [3princesse] That's the place I need to visit.
21:34:52 [Suzy-CH] RE: Epcot resort area, let me run this by you . . . I read that you can get into the gates of Int'l gateway (w/o ticket) when Illuminations starts. Anyone heard of this??
21:35:03 [MJ*CoHost] I do not know Cinderella. You might be able to check at Guest Services though.
21:35:20 [MJ*CoHost] It smelled wonderful 3princesses.
21:35:25 [Cinderella] I'll call my favorite CM who made our PS ressies for us. Maybe she can help.
21:35:42 [MJ*CoHost] I know you used to be able to Suzy but don't know if that is still true.
21:36:15 [Suzy-CH] That would be great if you could, MJ. DH and I love just sitting on a bench while people are exiting.
21:36:18 [MJ*CoHost] The Boardwalk had a Jazz Band that played last December when we stayed there. They also have a Juggler who performs most nights.
21:36:32 [Cinderella] Will this chat be posted? I can't stay and want to get all the info I can for our trip IN NINETEEN DAYS!!!!
21:36:34 [BetsyAnn] http://wdwig.com/h_decor.htm - Try this link for decorates during the holidays
21:36:48 [3princesse] Well, I need to go iron on a daisy patch for girl scouts tommorow, good night all.
21:36:50 [BetsyAnn] Not before you leave Cinderella
21:37:00 [MJ*CoHost] I believe Beach Club had a Carrousel in their lobby last year made of chocolate.
21:37:22 [Suzy-CH] Have a nice evening 3Ps!
21:37:35 [MJ*CoHost] Anyone been in the Yacht Club at Christmas or the Swan or Dolphin?
21:38:04 [Cinderella] I was told to see the Gingerbread House at GF in the lobby.
21:38:04 [Suzy-CH] Can't say that I have.
21:38:24 [MJ*CoHost] Cinderella that is a must do. It is awesoem
21:38:50 [MJ*CoHost] The tree there is beautiful too.
21:39:05 [BetsyAnn] I say the Carrousel at beach club
21:39:09 [BetsyAnn] very nice!
21:39:12 [Cinderella] I was also told there is a chocolate village(?) at BOMA? Is that right? Going there for dinner our first full day there.
21:39:46 [MJ*CoHost] I visited AKL last Dec but do not remember seeing a Chocolate Village. We ate at Jiko though not Boma
21:40:12 [BetsyAnn] I don't remember that Cinderella - but it has been two years since we ate at Bomas for dinner!
21:40:15 [Cinderella] I planned dinner one night each at GF, Polynesian and AKL to see the decorations so we get two for one excitement.
21:40:43 [MJ*CoHost] You will love it Cinderella.
21:40:58 [MJ*CoHost] Any other Resorts that you love to visit for Free of course.
21:41:20 [Cinderella] I know we'll have plenty of quiet nooks and crannies to explore at WL that we didn't have time for last trip there.
21:41:21 [Suzy-CH] You will love 'Ohana's!
21:41:48 [Cinderella] Now I'm getting MORE excited and MORE hungry!!!
21:41:49 [BetsyAnn] we are thinking about O'hanas
21:41:59 [Suzy-CH] I'm planning on taking my family on a monorail tour our first day since they won't have a park ticket.
21:42:00 [MJ*CoHost] OK this next thing to do is Free but you may ended up spending money.
21:42:18 [MJ*CoHost] Great idea Suzy.
21:42:20 [Cinderella] That sounds good - a monorail tour!!!
21:42:27 [MJ*CoHost] How about Downtown Disney?
21:42:36 [Cinderella] For me EVERYTHING sounds good now that it's getting so close!
21:42:38 [Suzy-CH] Yeah - DtD!!
21:43:00 [BetsyAnn] Downtown Disney is very cool at Christmas time!
21:43:03 [Cinderella] I hope to visit Downtown Disney our last day as we leave to pick up last minute gifts. How do they decorate?
21:43:07 [MJ*CoHost] Downtown Disney looks beautiful anytime but nighttime during the Holidays it is gorgeous.
21:43:10 [BetsyAnn] There are sometimes choirs singing
21:43:27 [MJ*CoHost] There is musical entertainment
21:43:49 [BetsyAnn] lol, mj
21:43:54 [Cinderella] Maybe we should eat breakfast earlier so I have more time at DTD before we have to hit the road and (sob) come home.
21:43:54 [MJ*CoHost] Yes BetsyAnn I loved hearing the choirs
21:44:05 [Suzy-CH] My favorite free thing at DtD is to take the boat from there to POR or to FQ and get some hot beignets ($1.85, not a $1)
21:44:30 [MJ*CoHost] The shops are decorated & they have beautiful Christmas Trees.
21:44:30 [Cinderella] If you split a beignets, it's less then a dollar each!
21:44:44 [BetsyAnn] That is a very relaxing thing to do, Suzy Q!
21:44:50 [MJ*CoHost] Oh Suzy that is one of my favorite things to do. The boat from DTD to Port Orleans.
21:44:52 [BetsyAnn] Hey Tagrel!
21:44:57 [Tagrel] Howdy Budgeteers!
21:45:04 [Suzy-CH] That's true!! Who can eat 3? Well . . . who "should"??
21:45:11 [MJ*CoHost] I don't think they are renting out the Tree Houses this year are they?
21:45:13 [Cinderella] Yo Tagrel!!!!
21:45:40 [Suzy-CH] Hi Tagrel! Welcome to the Disney on a Dollar chat!
21:45:44 [MJ*CoHost] The last time we stayed at POR we rode the boat back at night from DTD & the Tree Houses were decorated to the nines.
21:45:51 [MJ*CoHost] Hi Tagrel
21:46:04 [BetsyAnn] The lounge at POR is fun = the piano player really livin it's up!
21:46:09 [Suzy-CH] I love that boat ride!
21:46:12 [Cinderella] I have to find a few things to do free to explain how much I've spent on the little "surprises" I'm bringing with me to the meet. Shhhhhh - don't tell DH!!!
21:46:25 [MJ*CoHost] It was so beautiful floating down that river with all the houses in their best Christmas attire.
21:46:36 [Suzy-CH] Free thing at DtD for the kids is to play with the legos outside LegoLand.
21:46:52 [MJ*CoHost] Lounge act at POR is the best. You can not be shy there though/
21:46:56 [Tagrel] That really sounds great MJ.
21:47:06 [Cinderella] So much to see............so little time..........guess I'd better start planning another trip to DW!!!!
21:47:06 [BetsyAnn] I think those are closed now,, MJ - but not for sure -- and it was a beautiful sight!
21:47:17 [MJ*CoHost] Suzy I love the old sleeping man that snores at Lego
21:47:48 [Cinderella] Gotta go guys. Have a great chat. Send me some ideas that I might miss.
21:47:54 [Suzy-CH] DH likes getting pics with the dragon at LegoLand!
21:48:00 [MJ*CoHost] I think so too BetsyAnn. Such a shame, our boat operator told us the same people come every year & decorate more & more each year.
21:48:07 [Suzy-CH] Night Cinderella!
21:48:07 [BetsyAnn] I love all those lego creations!
21:48:26 [BetsyAnn] Good night Cinderella
21:48:27 [Cinderella] Nightie Night. Tootles.
21:48:30 [MJ*CoHost] Suzy you mentioned Monorail tour for your family.
21:48:57 [MJ*CoHost] After you take the tour of the Resorts you must take the Monorail to Epcot.
21:49:24 [Suzy-CH] Love that idea, MJ. What a great way to introduce Epcot to those who haven't seen it yet!
21:49:33 [MJ*CoHost] That ride will give them a birds eye view of all of Epcot. At night would be especially nice with all the Christmas lights.
21:49:43 [BetsyAnn] great idea MJ!
21:50:01 [MJ*CoHost] Another of my favorite free things to do is the various boat rides.
21:50:07 [BetsyAnn] I have been really lax in taking the monorails on the last two trip!
21:50:15 [Tagrel] Love the monorail to Epcot, especially at night. Not
much to see on the way, but GREAT through the park. And try for the
front seat! EXCELLENT view!
21:50:16 [Suzy-CH] Ooh, on DtD, we can't forget about the World of Toys and playing with tinkertoys and lincoln logs - another hubby fav!
21:50:36 [MJ*CoHost] I know that you maybe able to walk faster from MGM to Boardwalk but the boat is such a nice treat.
21:51:03 [Suzy-CH] We did the boat from MGM to Epcot just to cool off this Sept.
21:51:16 [BetsyAnn] I love the boat rides all over WDW!
21:51:17 [MJ*CoHost] Love that store Suzy. I love watching people at Once Upon a Toy stuff that Mr Potato Head box full.
21:51:27 [Tagrel] Actually, we've done the boat and the walk, and I
prefer the walk. VERY peaceful and pretty. But I'd try both if you can!
The boat is nice too!
21:52:09 [WillCAD] Hi Ho, Bedgetators!
21:52:10 [Suzy-CH] We have done the walk more often than the boat. Love it too, Tag!
21:52:10 [BetsyAnn] I have not been to World of Toys yet -- must go this trip!
21:52:18 [BetsyAnn] Hey Will!
21:52:19 [WillCAD] Er, Budgetators, even!
21:52:21 [MJ*CoHost] The boat is air conditioned/heated so that makes it nice whenever you go.
21:52:24 [Suzy-CH] Hi Will!!! Welcome to the Disney on a Dollar chat!
21:52:29 [MJ*CoHost] Hi Will
21:52:51 [MJ*CoHost] Oh Betsy you must go to that store. I love the area where they have the toy Monorail set up.
21:53:13 [Suzy-CH] The boat ride is also good when you are between parks
and you don't have time to go back to hotel for a nap.
21:53:18 [Tagrel] Hi WillCAD!
21:53:28 [BetsyAnn] Shopping is never something you have to twist my arm
on!
21:53:31 [MJ*CoHost] Reminds me that is it getting close to the time that my monorail will be out under my tree.
21:53:48 [Tagrel] Good point Margaret! Weather plays a vital role in
whether or not we take the boat!
21:53:49 [WillCAD] Ah, the toy monorails! They have been a staple at the shop in Contemporary and at the Boardwalk for years.
21:54:07 [MJ*CoHost] BetsyAnn there is a place where you can design your own Mr Potato Head. Very fun.
21:54:10 [Suzy-CH] OOoh! I wanted a monorail under OUR tree (hubby wins with his trains, though)
21:54:46 [Tagrel] I just got a monorail in July - looking forward to
putting it under the tree this year!
21:54:47 [Suzy-CH] Yeah! WIll, what about the Contemporary? Anything to do for free there??
21:54:50 [MJ*CoHost] Suzy here is a good hint if you get one at Disney. Have it shipped home - you won't have to pay tax on it.
21:54:57 [WillCAD] MJ, do you have the toy Contemp and Poly?
21:55:06 [MJ*CoHost] I love it Dave.
21:55:17 [BetsyAnn] Now that will be very fun! -- Mr Potato Head - one fo my favorites when younger and the children at work love them!
21:55:20 [MJ*CoHost] No I think I would like Spaceship Earth though
21:55:47 [MJ*CoHost] I am thinking about buying myself Mr Potato Head this year & putting it on my desk.
21:56:24 [MJ*CoHost] You get a box & for 16.00 you can stuff as much as you can inside of Mr Potato Head & his parts.
21:56:46 [Suzy-CH] MJ, why wouldn't they charge tax when you ship?
21:56:53 [WillCAD] I like to just wander the shops in the Grand Canyon Concourse. But you can get a coke from the bar and sit in the little alcove, looking out at the view... There are always several pressed penny/quarter machines next to the monorail escalators...
21:57:03 [MJ*CoHost] This idea came from Alicia. Take the DVC Tour - it is free if you do not buy.
21:57:34 [MJ*CoHost] No they charge 10.00 shipping fee I think but no tax.
21:57:40 [BetsyAnn] Those are both great tips, Will and MJ!
21:57:54 [Suzy-CH] mmmmh! Interesssssting, MJ.
21:58:01 [WillCAD] And if you go out onto the emergency stairs, you can get a great view of MK without going up to the California Grill.
21:58:18 [Suzy-CH] That's a good one to note, Will!
21:58:22 [MJ*CoHost] I did it 2 years ago Suzy. Used my Disney Club Card & got the discount & then shipped home with no tax.
21:58:49 [WillCAD] I have heard that they clear those stairs during MK fireworks, but it's worth a shot.
21:58:54 [MJ*CoHost] Anyone else have free things to do at Disney?
21:59:30 [Suzy-CH] Hi Brer! Welcome to Disney on a Dollar!!!
21:59:43 [BetsyAnn] Find a comfortable chair just about any where and people watch! One of my very favorite things to do!
21:59:56 [MJ*CoHost] Pool time is also free but it is usually too cold for this Georgia girl in December.
22:00:11 [Suzy-CH] Ah! How about the free garden tours at Yacht/Beach club. Anyone been on those?
22:00:11 [BetsyAnn] Hey Briar!
22:00:16 [Brer] hmmm, free things at Disney....??????????
22:00:30 [Brer] hi ya friends !
22:00:34 [WillCAD] Find a nice place to sit anywhere at MGM and listen to the background music... try to identify the movies each piece comes from.
22:00:42 [MJ*CoHost] There are some free things Brer.
22:00:50 [Brer] there , let's see if i can get some color here
22:00:54 [Brer] yuck
22:01:01 [MJ*CoHost] We talked about things you can do without going to a Park.
22:02:21 [Suzy-CH] Here's my one stop recap: Hidden Mickeys Sheets at WL & AKL, Monorailing around the world, DtD boatride to POR, FW campfires/movie, Petting zoo at WL, and x-mas decor at the resorts!
22:02:34 [MJ*CoHost] They have garden tours at Yacht & Beach Club?
22:03:14 [Suzy-CH] I have not been on a garden tour, but I read that you can take them.
22:03:19 [MJ*CoHost] Good recap Suzy
22:03:23 [Brer] smell the flowers at Epcot
22:03:26 [Suzy-CH] . . . probably similar to an architecture tour at WL
22:03:42 [WillCAD] Suzy, don't forget the fabulous boat ride around Cresent Lake... Yacht & Beach Clubs, Swan & Dolphin, Boardwalk, MGM and Epcot.
22:04:02 [Suzy-CH] Ah yes, we love boats!!
22:04:24 [WillCAD] And the other grest boat loop, MK to FW to WL.
22:04:32 [Brer] watching fireworks is free
22:04:35 [WillCAD] Er, great loop, even.
22:04:50 [Suzy-CH] Oh yes, and the electric water pagent - we talked
about that!
22:05:16 [Suzy-CH] Can't remember . . . is the EWP holiday themed?
22:05:29 [WillCAD] I wish Disney would do some kind of night-time show or fireworks in Crescent Lake.
22:05:57 [Brer] that WOULD be good Will
22:06:03 [Suzy-CH] I like watching Illuminations from Beach Club beach.
22:06:55 [Tagrel] Sorry - got called away for a few.
