I have never been to the Dells... I've driven past many times though.

Okay I say kids just don't understand, load up on toppings!!!! Yum looked delicious! I love how Allison always hams it up for the camera! Keep it coming D this is such a fun TR!
Yah - I love toppings... I don't care if it's pasta or icecream - bring on those toppings. LOL Yah - Alli has been hamming it up for the camera her whole life.... Hopefully the TR stays fun.
Yea, I'm back and I'm following your TR! Nice!
Yay!!! Welcome back!
I LOVE POFQ! My husband and I stayed there on our honeymoon 13 years ago, and we're staying there with our kids this December. So excited to be going back!
I love staying there - I can't imagine staying anywhere else... How awesome that you will be stayin there in Dec.
Welcome to The Dis Allison!
I always wondered how the build your own pasta worked. Yours looks yummy with those mushrooms.
Thanks - it was very good.
Those socks are really cute. I don't think I could pay $14 for socks either.
Yah - I really, really wanted them - since I cannot wear my Keens with out socks (Yes, I am one of
those people...) LOL
The 3D effect for your bag sounds interesting.
Yes, now that it's done - I am not so sure about it.
The build your own pasta looks good. Maybe I can my daughter to walk over to POR for some when we're done there next week.
You should - it's delicious!
I've never been to Blizzard Beach. We always go to Typhoon Lagoon.
I hope your bff can get the stain out of Alli's bag.
Liz
BB was a lot of fun - I am glad we went. And I sure hope she can too, I don't think she has started on it yet though.
Hi Allison!!! I'm Lynee. So glad you joined the boards Cannot wait to see your pics!! So glad to see that you had a wonderful time on your trip. Hope the new school year is going well for you. Have a wonderful day!!
Thanks!
Oops! Forgot to welcome Allison (Alli)! WELCOME to the Dis!
D~ You are so good about updating! After reading about your POR make your own pasta dinner I'm wanting someone to throw some pasta, veggies and a sauce in a pan for me! I love magic bars... I hope it was as good as it looks.
I try to update every morning - or at least do replies... Otherwise I get so far behind, I never catch up - so it's become my morning routine with my coffee.
The pasta was amazing and those Magic Bars... Num! I need to go seek out that recipe... Maybe... The square they give you is like 5" square, and they are very rich... I know it took me 2 sittings to eat it.
I'm think I've lost track of how many dismeets you've had already. That's so awesome.
Hahaha... I have to go through and figure it out - after this trip, I have no idea either... Which is why I did my post yesterday, so I had some frame of reference to start with.
I have to make sure I don't keep falling behind on your TR. I am so far behind again Multi-tasking again at work Good thing I am working from home today, but I still have lots to get done. Need to stay on schedule, especially because I am learning to sew and my project is waiting for me. I had a huge bump in the road, the machine I was using broke! Thank goodness it was not my fault. Long story short ~ my dad decided to "fix" an article of clothing and the machine couldn't handle it. So I went out and bought myself a basic new machine. My mom said I could learn on her BRAND NEW machine.....umm, no thanks didn't want to take the change of anything happening to that machine.
Yay!!! I am so happy that you are learning to sew Lynee!!! Yikes about the machine, hopefully your dad learned his lesson? LOL Have you read the Disboutiquers thread yet? Lots of useful info and helpful people over there.
So back to the really important things - the TR!!! D~ it is easier when they go to college. However, my DD decided to stay home. Trying to get her "settled" was a chore. I mean what girl does not understand the power of a credit card when making a purchase?? She was worried about going over the limit Glad she was thinking, but oh if she only knew! We are all settled into the college routine. But oh how I worry about her on campus!! Hope the girls are settled in and everything is going well for them.
I am happy that she was $$ conscious - that is a hard thing to learn. I remember being the same way when I had my first CC - she is a smart girl though.
I am already worried about the same thing... ACK!!!! IT's coming faster than I can even comprehend...
Much luck to dd and to you!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Sully bag. Another beautiful job!!!
Thank you!
AOA pics where just GREAT! Alli dance party was awesome. Something my DD would jump right in and do. Nothing shy about her
LOL - I know that feeling.
Patiently waiting on your BIG SUPER SECRET Project. The suspense is killing me!!
It's going to be a while... But when the anouncement comes - you will all be shocked!
Those socks you found were adorable, but just not that adorable for the price
I know - right?
BB sounds AWESOME, just not that speedo guy - they need to have a guide line for bathing suits!
I totally agree~! I couldn't belive how many 300 & 400lb women who had thong bathing suits on... I don't care if you are 100lbs... That is NOT the place to be wearing your thong bathing suit.
Make your own pasta?! How did I not know abut this? It has now been added to my to do list when we go.
Have a fabulous day!! Off to work I go
For sure! It was great! I hope you had a great day at work!
I am a little late to the party, but oh my goodness, your family looks so fun! Loving your trip so far and can't wait to hear more about it. And I love that you use your creativity to fund your fun! Thanks for taking the time to share your Disney adventure!
Welcome! Super glad to have you here!! I hope you enjoy following along.
Wow D~ YOU ARE LEGENDARY. You are going to need to use scheduling software to manage your social calendar and Dismeets. That is AWESOME. Thanks for sharing that.
Ha... Yah - I was a little worried on how I was going to remember all these Dismeets once we were down there - I had reminders set for a few of them on my phone... THe one I missed that I really wanted to meet was Terri (Denovagirl).
One Diser that you noted that I would love to meet that I actually am familiar with is Judy (blessedmom4).
I really enjoyed meeting Judy and her family. Very lovely people.
That's STILL a lot of people!
And I loved meeting every one of them!
Best part of this?!?! You meet some Amazing people who become closer then family!
You are right Mo... Many of you have become like family to me.
I am so lucky!
family whom STILL have not shared the all important bday party???!!!
sorry D~ for the hijack.....just had to give her a hard time!
Hahaha... Good one!
I just had to read 3 pages of replies since the last time I checked was yesterday morning.
Sorry... Kind of got away from me.
Loved your update and am jealous of your Dismeets, though I have done a couple I only have pictures of 1.
Thanks!!! There are 2 more people that are on my "must do Dismeet" list - and you are one of them.
I think D now gets the title of "legendary."
Not sure I would go
that far? LOL
I am determined to get over to POR one of these days for that pasta bar again. I loved it the one and only time we tried it.
How fun that you got to meet another DIS friend again.
Yah - that pasta bar was very good. Definately a must-do! And you know I love meeting my Dis friends - still so happy that I got to meet you!
I haven't started reading yet but I'm looking forward to your adventure with your 2 girls in August.
I'm taking my 2 (albeit only 6 1/2 and 3 1/2 at time of trip) but dream about sharing Disney memories with them well into their teens.
Welcome! You will LOVE it... I only wish I had started doing this with my girls earlier in their lives - I feel like I missed out on so many great memories.
Your pasta at POR looked really yummy
It was! Thanks Lillian.
Hi Allison!! Sorry for the heaps of homework keeping you from us. Good Luck!!!
I could have a little bit of Disney type food everyday, if I was able to wait. Our Smart Cafe at work has a pasta station, although we use magnetic induction coils to cook (science center, remember?) And it is amazing how the raw ingredients that you pick become a yummy dish.
Cool... I think DIsney does it much the same way... I know they use something that cooks the noodles really fast???
The food court was one of the best things about POR, in my opinion. I'd still like to stay on the "plantation" side someday (when DH has forgotten about the herding cats trip.)
Three D effects? hmmmm
Someday we will stay at another resort... I just worry so much about those POR busses.
Wow, I need to get on the DIS more on the weekends! I think I was like 10 pages behind. Let's see what I remember to comment on.
Sorry... And the weekends are SLOW in the TR section. LOL
Glad you guys woke up feeling better the next day!
Me too - I was so relieved!
Awesome meet and greets with Dug, Russell, Mickey & Minnie! I can't wait to see all the PP pictures.
They are coming - the CD shipped yesterday! WHOOT!
EE 5 times in a row, wow! I would be
That is about my limit though. LOL
What a bummer that Donald wasn't there for the picture at Tusker House. But at least it looks like Goofy cheered up V a bit!
He usually does. LOL Poor guy - I don't envy him that job... It's not an easy one.
Love the new Sulley bag and I'm anxiously awaiting to find out what your big super secret project is. I've decided I am seriously addicted to your bags. I seriously missed seeing new ones while you were gone.
Thank you - really. That has to be the best compliment ever!
The AOA food court sounds nuts! But I still want to stay there. I tend to like the values more because I love the in your face Disney!
I think it would be a really fun place to stay - I am just not sure I could stay there for a whole trip, ya know? A few days would be great though.
Yeah for a DIS meet with Kathy & Suzi!
I know - I was super happy about it!
I love all the pictures of the Cars section. I really wish they would have done some regular rooms in each section because I want to stay in them all!
Now this - I TOTALLY AGREE WITH!!! I really wish there were some regular rooms in each section.
Looks like you had a fun day at Blizzard Beach. Rain Boots, Speedo & hair. That's all I have to say about that!
Yah - it was memorable... LOL
I have very fond memories of the POR food court as you can probably tell by my PTR! We ate there what, 4 times on our honeymoon!
I did see that... LOL
That MYO Pasta was one of the main reasons I wanted to stay at POR this last trip, but the benefits of the Poly outweighed the pasta I guess. I wanted to try it at AoA too, but there were too many other things that you can only get at AoA, so I will leave the pasta til next time.
Hahaha... Pasta or Poly??? Hmmm....
Glad to see V learned from A's mistake when it comes to dumping your meal ON A PLATE, not the tray
Hahaha!
So, why didn't you try for a boat instead of a bus?? You knew the buses usually picked up at FQ first. The boat is backwards....that would have been much quicker silly girl!
It had been raining... And I couldn't remember if they shut the boats down for rain or just thunder/lightening... I didn't feel like walking back there to check - so we just went for the busses. I did want to take the boats though - it would have been so much easier.
Welcome Allison. Your mom has been kind enough to show us some of your pictures and I have to say I am impressed with your photography skills. I especially liked the pictures you took of Victoria this past winter. I hope we don't scare you off with our silliness.
Nah - she's used to it - I am like this all the time at home. LOL
Looking forward to seeing your pictures from your trip.
Me too!
D~ WOW, that is an amazing amount of Dismeets. So cool that you have gotten to meet so many folks. The mall of america should give you a parking pass since you attract so many customers.
Um... You should be right up there with me - you were in Charlotte too!
That food court does look like a nice place to sit and enjoy a meal. I didn't realize that you got to meet up with Nicole and Sara Beth.
Yes, I got to meet both of them again - it was very nice to sit and chat for so long.
I bought my pp+ yesterday but was only able to use 2 gift cards. I don't know if I punched the number of one of them in wrong or something but it only took two of them and then charged my cc for the rest. It was the new Photopass site and it wouldn't let you see your charges before it processed the order. Again, I might have punched in the numbers wrong but its not like I won't spend that 3rd card! Thanks again for the insight.
Hmmm... I wonder why? I know they started using the new site... Does it let you enter 3 cards still?
I think she was referring to Mo updating after the Midget's party last weekend.
HA HA!! You're so sweet but modeling is just my side hobby!
Love you!
Hi LyneeI can't wait for you to see my pics School is going well so far, thanks
Hi! Yeah, homework happens! It's life though And thanks!
MO!! I miss you so muchThose pictures will be here soon! I promise!
I love having you here!
Hi everyone!! My first picture for you... So i know it's the back, but it is really the only picture I could find out of all the pictures have sorted though
Plus, it's a warm up post!
Gorgeous!!! I just love it!
D~ I fell all behind in my little world of resort changing but I am now caught up with your TR. Love the AOA pictures, I think it would be so fun to stay there.
Hahaha Sheila!!! Have you stayed at all of the resorts yet?
[I've never gone to Blizzard Beach, just TL. And I do believe our water park days are over.
Blizzard Beach was so much fun! I am glad we went.
[Love the new cup. I saw one I wanted last year but like I tend to do I waited then never did get back to the UK store in Epcot to buy it.
Yah - I am glad I purchased the Halloween one when I did - otherwise I may not have... There were a few other things that caught my eye after that.
[So over the weekend we decided to switch resorts and save a few $, we are now at AKL. I have been wanting to get back there since my visit in 2006 plus we saved $933
That is an AWESOME amount of savings!! Congrats!!!
[Of course nothing is set in stone so I may change again before my trip gets here.
hahaha!
Thanks for all the comments on my last picture This is the picture of (I think) the beef tenderloin from CRT enjoy!
Mmmmm... That was a YUMMY meal!!! I could eat those potatoes every day.
And great job learning the abbreviations!
So I posted way back when and then must have forgotten to subscribe!! How did that happen!! Oh wait I know I blame it on the baby!!! Taking away my mind!! I will share that I've been busy getting things ready for James and Sarah's birthday party last weekend and we found out that we are having another baby BOY!!! Pretty exciting!!
Hi Sandra!!! I just figured you hadn't been feeling well... Super excited you are having a boy!!!!!!!!! COngratulations!
Wow! You guys look like you've been having a great time!! Loved all the updates!!
Welcome Alli!! Your pictures are amazing!!
We did have a wonderful time - it was so much fun!
**********************************************************
Yesterday was pretty boring... I appliqued all day long. I am almost done with it - I have one small piece left to do.
Today - I work at Target... That's about all. LOL
**********************************************************
Today's outtake:
Ummm... I don't have one?
Sorry.
Have a fantastic day everyone!
D~
I'm back from vacation and trying hard to get caught up. I've read a couple of pages and have enjoyed the pics so much! Trying on all those hats is so much fun, isn't it? I've been under the weather, read sick as a dog, since vacay and am finally feeling a bit better today. Must have caught a bug on the plane.
I can't belive you were able to get 6 FP for Soarin. Just a shame you didn't have the time to ride it twice
