enjoyed a week visiting WDW in mid-December. Although

- Comments: If you missed Mike's report
from yesterday (his January 2000) trip, you might want to go
back and read that one too! This is a great play-by-play
report covering Mike and Becca's anniversary trip. Besides

also enjoyed Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.

- Comments: If you've ever wondered what
it's like to visit WDW during the busiest week of the year,
here's a report for you. Most folks are smart enough to
not visit WDW during Christmas week...but Mark has family that
actually works at WDW, so the visit made sense for him.
Frankly, the descriptions of the crowds aren't as bad as I'd
expected.

- Comments: Steve and his sister visited
for a week in early December and ended up buying into the DVC
during the trip! This is a great report, with daily play-by-plays
as well as great financial information. Plus, if you're
the type of person that frequently loses things, you'll have
great sympathy for Steve. During the course the trip he
must have lost (and re-found) most everything he packed!

- Comments: This is a very detailed report

lot of trip planning information and a great play-by-play, Joy

deals. This is definitely a great trip report to read
if you're planning an upcoming trip of your own.

- Comments: Sue and her son Chris spent
their traditional Christmas break at WDW and Hilton Head Island.
This is a great report, although Sue whines too much about the
cold (I live in Michigan and have no patience for those Floridians
that can't stand it below 70° Fahrenheit.) Seriously,
this is a great report with plenty of details...a Sue Holland
classic.

- Comments: Tracy tells us about her family's
second "one-and-only" trip to WDW. Seems like
they visited in 1999 and couldn't stay away. Sounds like
a lot of us WDW junkies. The report is play-by-play style,
and includes an interesting comparison between Dixie Landings
and Caribbean Beach Resort -- as well as information on the
Osborne lights and other holiday decorations.
