You should write suspense novels - you really know how to end a post on a cliffhanger! Haha. Can't wait to read on. What an amazing experience!

Ha ha! Thanks Jill. I do my best.
I hesitate to even comment again since I know you will graciously reply and that will slow you down on getting that next installment in!! But, I wouldn't want to withhold well deserved praise either. I continue to adore your TR and am truly amazed at your people skills, your memory for names makes many CMs happy I'm sure.
Keep it coming! (Now off to check out Rob's new TR, I didn't realize he had started!?)
Hi Pimama! But I'm glad that you DID comment! That's so sweet of you with your kind comments.
I just look at the name tags!
Yes, Rob's started his TR and it's sure to be amusing and entertaining as always.
I miss a few days on the dis and I'm like 10 pages behind here!! Hehehe!
Like everyone else, I can't wait to read more!!!!
I'm glad you're still following along Amy! I'm ready to get that next update posted so you should see it shortly.
Absolutely LOVE your TR! It's the highlight of my day! Can't wait to see more of the Dream Suite (you lucky girls!).
Thanks PixarPrincess! I'm so glad that you are reading!!
Hopefully an update is ready to roll tonight.
!
Thank you for asking and the answer is YES. I just need to get this one farther along so I can begin a 4th TR/DR! Crazy huh? I just want to get this one beyond the Dream Suite part.
I met so many Disers and had some great firsts since this was our first time to visit WDW during the Christmas season. And yes, there was a sweet upgrade but not until we changed resorts later in the trip.
I'll let everyone know here and on my DR when I start the December one. In the mean time you are in luck because I posted my first "dining review" for our Dis cocktail meet up on the live dining thread
here. Since I'm participating in the finale of Jabead (Barb's) report you'll see at least the dining portion of our trip on that thread.
Thanks again for asking!
Brenda, thanks for the teaser preview of your next report... You are going to be having a crazy time with three reports and planning your next WDW trip[/QUOTE]
And coincidently, I just updated that dining thread tonight. See, I really am trying to keep up with all of these!! And the next trip planning is being sadly neglected.
OMGoodness, Brenda!!
What an amazing day, even before the tour!!
I'm so excited to see what y'all got to experience. Hope we get a chance to talk soon.
Nice people showering us with unexpected blessings...we're so grateful.
I'm glad we chatted! We definitely have something to look forward to this fall my friend.
There's only been a handful of times where I've been wishing and hoping that I read an update late and there would be another one already posted.
To say all us readers are waiting with bated breath to see what's behind the door would be an understatement.
Man, that mayor...you gotta be vigilant with your attention, he's quite the little frisky one.
Love your purse. I agree, the Marie charm isn't one you see too often and would be too could to pass up. And I'm sure it was the thrill of the moment that led you to make that kind of purchase. I'm like you, as well, and take forever to decide to buy something "for fun." But doesn't it make it so much more special when you do make that purchase?
Hi Alicia! Ha ha! Sorry my timing stinks...
I may have to wear a disguise next trip so that I can walk down Main Street past the Mayor unscathed.
Thanks, I was sucked into a shopping euphoria so I think that affected my judgment. It likely will be awhile before I let myself be influenced by a beautiful Dooney bag. (Although I saw a HM version on Danimaroo's TR and I'm completely jealous!)
Yeah, spontaneity can have its drawbacks
It worked out well for most of us but it really caught us off guard!
Thank you, not sure I agree, feel a bit beached whale after the trip..or puffer fish
but that's to be expected I guess. Not so sure about the half heartedly. December was pretty brutal to stick to the schedule I'd like and well, I truly despise running in the dark. I actually skipped my run yesterday. Between all the kids events this weekend and needing to de-decorate the house, and unpack...the running took a back seat (plus it was nasty out!). I'll pay for it today though, now I have to run in the dark tonight to make up for it but I did enjoy the golden globes a lot more knowing the vast majority of the house was put back together.
Let's be clear, you'll never resemble a puffer fish or beached whale!!
FAR from it.
I won't run in the dark... I run on my treadmill at home before I do that. In fact, I run more on my treadmill than outside. I know that makes no sense. We have Back Bay Newport Beach across the street from where we live but I still mostly run on a treadmill. But I run faster and longer on the trails. Go figure.
So close! We're at the door of the suite now!
Yeah I would have been ecstatic too if I was just offered a private tour of the Dream Suite! Fully equipped with your own photographer!
And wow about the Mayor. Never met the guy myself but your encounters with this man is painting a not so positive picture of him.
Hi Dave!! The door is cracked open and I'm almost ready to go inside.... the suspense...
Not sure what type of camera the guy had but it had some wacky contraption that takes three shots at once for some reason... he explained it but it's lost on me. (if someone blinks they have an overlay photo or something like that.)
I feel like giving a warning .... hide your kids, hide your wife, because the Mayor is all up in your Main Street.
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Just letting you know I am still around! Can't wait to hear more.
Hi Sandy!! I'm glad that you are still around and following along. I hope all is well.
Been missing for a while and yours was the first trip report I read through...always reading about your trips!
Oh, thank you! I'm so glad that you are reading - still!
I wanted to thank you again for sharing the link to Dean's book. I found it in my mailbox today over lunch. The one and only problem I have with the book is that it's so good I've barely been able to put it down and I'm nearly done with the book. What a wonderful book and has been a joy to read. Will be hitting up his website later this week to order copies for the rest of my family that travel with us. Now if only I can keep it to myself until we see them at Easter! Thanks again Brenda, for your travel reports and for Dean's. Lovely to see how both sides of Disney lovers gain so much from "the world".
Awesome!!! I'm so glad that you received it.
When I read it, I did the same thing. Since the chapters were short I decided to read a few... and didn't stop. Yep, finished it too quickly. It's not a big book so it is easy to do. Definitely makes you wish there were more stories.
What a great surprise for your family!
Thanks for letting me know. Since I'm in touch with Dean he does pass his thanks on to people that have ordered the book.
I've been waiting to read this report for a while (It's hard to read any when your writing one!) and I'm super excited for the next update. Also, I also love Layla perfume! I had to wait 2 years to get a new bottle on our trip this past November but now I wear it everyday as it reminds me of the World!
Hi Rachelle!! I'm glad you are reading!
Oh my gosh, I love Layla. It's my new favorite and of course it reminds me of Epcot.
I'm scared that I'll go through it too quickly.
That is great you got to tour the suite. Cant wait for the pics.
Hi Scott! Thanks.... maybe a quick update coming up...
But to get an unbelievable surprise tour like you did is just so awesome! Now that I've stayed there, I'm pretty much obsessed with this suite! LOL I know I'll never be able to see it again, so I'm so excited to see your pictures and hear about your experience.
You two sure know how to do Disney! I was shocked and thrilled for you with the upgrade at the Yacht Club to the Admiral's Suite last trip and now a tour of the castle suite! I can only imagine what your next trip will hold!
