My mother does the same thing you do and loves getting up at the 3

o in the morning just to see what kind of good buys she can get. Keep in touch with me who knows maybe if we can find someplace in Disney that will do an early morn shopping special I will meet you and see what all the fun is about.
We thought about taking the disney cruise but opted not to. Instead we are taking a 7 day cruise out of Galveston this spring that way we can afford to do Disney again come Thanksgiving.
All of the Disney restaurants serve Thanksgiving meals. Try for Liberty Inn in
MK. That is there normal fare and it is really good. This next year I think I will try the Garden Grill.
