No Snow in Miami

But isn't that what we have LJ profile pages for? SO many thanks to everyone who sent me a snowflake cookie! It was such a lovely day-brightener and I agree that LJ should do this every so often, just randomly. Except if it crashed the notification system, because getting v-gifts is shiny, but so is getting comments ( Read more... )

I haven't been to it myself yet, but you might try Light Up UCF if you haven't been before. See what movies are playing when you're here, or check out the light show or ice skating rink. I have friends who've had fun.

I definitely recommend the Osborne lights at MGM, though. They're one of my favorite things about holidays in the parks. And that's saying something, since I love the Not So Scary party like burning.

Also, let me know how the Gaylord Ice thing is! I always think about going, but it's a little expensive if I'm just going to be whelmed. ;)

If we had to choose between the Osborne Lights and the MK, which should we choose?

If you're just going during the day and not doing the party, then definitely Osborne lights over MK. I love the castle all decked out for Christmas, but the lights are so much more. The kids will probably really enjoy them.

Unrelated, the Christmas ep of SPN is one of my faves. ♥

The Mickey's Xmas Party has its last day on the 18th, so we could be there at night without having to pay for that. We don't have our seasonals anymore, so I'm not sure it makes sense to go to the MK if it's supercrowded just to see the lights at the castle and on main street. How well can you see it from, say, the restaurants at the Grand Floridian and the monorail?

I also love the Olivia Olson version, a.k.a. the little girl in Love Actually.

I adore that Obama picture. It's the perfect blend of inspiration and total geekery. :)

We are definitely going to the Gaylord Palms ICE! exhibition

If you don't already have coupons, I think Papa John's pizza has... $3 off admission coupons? If asked nicely, sometimes, you don't need to buy anything to get the coupons.

The online purchase price is lower than the at-the-gate but I will check to see if Papa John's coupons make it cheaper than that. THANKS!

Ah, if ordering online, try Papa John's online code, SCPJP, which is $3 off up to six adults at a time. Though, I just tried it and it may be limited to Monday-Thursday.

Universal is doing the Macy's Parade again this year. And Merry Grinchmas, though I've never been to see the accompanying stage shows, I love the decorations. Also this year they're doing a Holiday Concert Series. Chris Isaak is this weekend and I would be there, if I weren't going to decorate my Grandparents' house this weekend. Next weekend is Natalie Cole, which isn't nearly as exciting. ha ha.

So, nothing going on at Universal that is un-missable. I think that the Osborne Lights would probably be a better production.

And I'm definitely thinking about going to ICE at Gaylord Palms. Everyone I know who's been so far said it was a lot of fun.

PS. That picture of Pres Obama is one of my FAVORITES.
