How Do You Think We Stay So Happy?*Final Thoughts & Farewells* 10/7 p100

[Disneymom77]

Great updates everyone! POR is soooo pretty I live about 30 minutes away from where that girl fell in the fountain while texting! Someone posted a picture of the sign outside the mall that said "Lifeguards Wanted" shortly after it happened It was most likely a photoshopped picture, but still funny

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Nilla! And Welcome Back!!!!! I hope you and the family had a fantastic trip. And you darn well better start that TR ASAP. I can't wait to see pictures of your adorable kids. Plus I want to see what cute dresses Kristen made this year. So get going on that first update!!!!!!



So many DISers from the NE and midatlantic. Probably because our weather S$$CKS. We crave the warmth!! and more importantly, THE SUNLIGHT!


FOOD AND WINE 2012!!!!!! Like Melissa said - WOOT!!!!!!!

The wheels are turning. Let the enabling begin!

nilla! I agree please start and post a link so I can find you!

I also agree with what MaryEllen said about so many disers being from NE and the midatlantic because of our darn weather! We had such an awful winter some warmth and sunshine were definitely in order!

FOOD AND WINE 2012!! Disers take over the world!! Woot woot!!!

Nermel, was it perchance you that meet my sister in Target?! Someone, a CT Diser, ran into my sister in target and recognized my nieces from my TR! I'm trying to figure out who it was!

LOL, so true, after this winter, I'm so ready for some FL sunshine! Even now, the middle of May, and we are stuck with this miserable week of cold and rain...ugh!

Food and Wine 2012 would be SO amazing, no enabling required for me, it's not hard to get me to agree to a Disney trip! Especially since I'm HOPEFULLY going in May next year with DH, he won't want to go twice in one year!

LOL, no that wasn't me, but it's pretty cool that that happened! I sometimes wonder when I'm out and about if I'm in the presence of DIS'ers! Hmmm, now I want to know who it was too!

 

[I Believe In Magic]

Beautiful pictures! That prom dress is so elegant, boy those have come a LONG way since I graduated! I haven't gotten to read all the comments but I can't wait to hear how many times Melissa's family called while you two were at dinner. And wow Melissa how did you leave them home!! Good for you girl! I always say (hope my precious dd isn't reading this) I hope to one day go to WDW without kids, just to see what it is like and mine are much older than yours. I bet you had the most relaxing 'different' kind of time! Can't wait to read more!! And MEK love the pictures!! Keep them coming

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Yay you're at the resort!!! Ooh sorry to hear you had an apprehensive moment at the bus stop. I definitely would have been feeling the same way too! But I'm glad your bus arrived, and you didn't have to take any more creepy-edited pics!

Great pics of POR! I'm very intrigued to stay there!

 

[MaryAz]

Hurray,. you started!! Love me some MEK pics and girl's trips!!! Hmm F&W 2012....

 

[glennbo123]

Great start Mary Ellen. I love POR, it's so picturesque.

And nice prom pictures too. Is Brian sad that she's moving to AZ? He should be, 'cause you're right, she's stunning.

 

[sunny_stace]

I'm late to the party but I am here! I have loved every single page of this TR so far!!! I can only imagine how much fun you guys must have had! I can't wait to hear more!

 

[Queenofallthings]

Gorgeous prom pics....

Love your pictures of the resort...it's absolutely beautiful there! I really must try and stay there one of these trips! I love any resort that I can get to DTD by boat!

Well, if no enabling is required...

I want to know who it was!!! It was in the Groton/New London area!

Leaving was easier then you would think Not pitching my phone into any number of WDW water source was decidedly harder

Hurray,. you started!! Love me some MEK pics and girl's trips!!! Hmm F&W 2012....

Welcome!!!

Welcome!!

 

[xoktenox]

Wow, Mary Ellen, beautiful prom pictures and pictures of the resort! So peaceful looking but I can imagine it being a little strange and unsettling to be alone at the bus stop for so long! I hope you were able to get your margarita at the cave...one of my new found favorite WDW places!

Melissa, your son looked so precious for his communion! The daughter of a woman I work with also made her communion that day and the weather held out for you guys, it was nice out! I'm really excited to hear about this trip!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

I'm loving this so far, sounds like a trip that I would love to be on. I'm getting excited about my Sept trip, hope to meet your Jen & Karin as they will be there the same time as I.

Today I learned how to post photos to the list, but now need to resize as the one I posted was way too large!

Maybe I can finagle a 2012 F&W trip also. It would be great. On our 2009 trip we met a woman at Teppan Edo that was there solo. I could so do that!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

To show you what I now can do with help from Jenseib I will post a picture from 2006 at the Cay at CBR.

 

[nilla]

nilla! I agree please start and post a link so I can find you!

Ok, it's started. The link is in my signature. This is a new experience, though - writing a TR while reading another one...we'll see if I'm up to the challenge!

 

[JPFamilyMom]

so much to comment on....
MEK -great prom pictures
Mickeysmyboy- congrats to your ds on first communion, loved your intro

And for the TR: Love the POR pictures, I know the anticipation of texting and everyone slowly coming together, so exciting, looking forward to reading about the first meet up

 

[eandesmom]

I seriously want a F&W 2012 Reunion!
that!)

Me too. It will just come down to vacation days and what I really have to work with.

If you stick with this TR you will most certainly be purchasing said Kool-aid. 4 out of 6 of us own right now and the other two are not far behind. We all own all over the place, too, which makes DVC so cool. Love it!

Yeah, not far behind. I've been THIS close a couple of times.

That is dedication. Conversely, I'm not sure if Tracy or I could tell you where the ironing board was located in our room.

Nah, not dedication, desperation. Usually I'll just take them into the shower with me to steam stuff out but seemed to forget while I was actually in there so a quick iron was better. And I didn't iron THAT much. A couple tops, a couple dresses. Okay, maybe 3 of each.

I am kind of curious what she means by an "interesting" contract.

Me too!

Well, if no enabling is required...

Yes, I believe an intervention was discussed more than once, or at least just turning it off!

Hi everyone! I followed the link over from mickeysmyboy's TR! She wasn't kidding when she said this TR was worth following!

Love all the intros, prom and communion pics! Looking forward to reading more!

 

[manntra]

Christine, there was an iron in our room?
Yay Melissa you made it!! You have been nonstop busy since we got back!! Cute pictures of DS and the rest of the gang on his day

We may have not told Melissa about her phone ringing on one occasion when we were by the pool Alas it rang again...and her ring tone for her husband is hilarious!!! Oooh I forgot about the woman who spotted your sister in CT. Maybe the reader will find you here? You will definitely have to come over for a Beach Club Lemonade in October....maybe we will have a daily intermission at the pool with different flavors...raspberry lemonade, limeade, etc

Tracy

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Wow ladies! I have to make sure to get on the DIS every day (at least once) just to keep up with this busy thread!! I'm reading it all and pretending I'm there with you!!

I love all the pictures - resort, prom, communion...All are just wonderful. Thank you all for your great intros! I "knew" some of you already, but it's nice to meet the rest and be reminded again of everyone's story!

Is there an actual recipe for the beach club lemonade? I'm getting thirsty...too bad I'm at work!
