OH How I LOVE Sven! My favorite Magic Shot by far! There is also a video one. I can not get it to attach 
I was a little upset the photographers were letting people sit on the benches in these pics. There is one with a kid laid out with his legs spread. Ruins the whole pic...

Amazing trip report! We love Mama Melrose too. It is always a must on our list. My favorite pictures were the Star Wars Han and Leia pics! Love them!!

Thanks! I loved them all too. I just felt like there was so much more to all the Animal Kingdom area ones. They were so interesting. I wish I had gotten pictures in Harambe Market, they were so unique and beautiful!

Time to add some highs and lows since I've had a couple days to reflect on the trip.
This was our first DVC trip as a family and the first trip we have ALL used our AP. I am pretty sure we will be renewing. Time to set up an AP savings account now that they've gone up 
Highs: Activating Blondie's AP and getting the new one with Memory Maker!
Mama Melrose dinner
ALL of the Christmas decorations (they were just going up last year when we were there)
Lows: I was underwhelmed with Holidays Around the World
Didn't get to see all the resorts all decked out (our own fault lol)
Knowing we were seeing the Osborne Lights for the last time
All in all it was a fantastic trip. I honestly think they keep getting better every time we go!
Now the count down to Hilton Head Resort is on, I've spent a couple weekends down there a few years ago. I know there are a few new things around town and I know one restaurant we want to try for our Anniversary dinner but I need to make a final decision. I can't wait to check out the resort!
Thanks for reading along! See ya real soon!!!
Hilton Head Resort - 36 days!

Great report as always, JMed! I love your idea of giving Blondie a surprise every hour on the drive down. It sounds like the crowds weren't all that bad for Thanksgiving.
