I am sitting by the fountain looking at Panchitos right now. I'll post more when we get home but we had a lovely first stay at CSR. We barely noticed the construction at all - only when walking too and from the Dig Site. That was the only time we heard it and it was minimal. We had dinner at...

Just got to the Coronado for our first visit! We had booked a water view but after 24 hours on a train, we got here at 11 and they offered us a preferred room - casitas building 1, 4th floor. We jumped at it though hubby was a little disappointed not to be near main pool. But we're so happy to...

Good point! From station to CSR we'll only have 2, but from CSR back to station we'll have 3 - not sure if that's too much for an uber to handle... And I am still totally up in the air on where to request a room for - we have a water view, don't care about walking - I keep thinking away from...

I cannot believe our trip is just days away. I"ve been so focused on getting my son ready (he's traveling with his HS to perform at DS), that I suddenly feel like I'm in panic mode. We are also taking the train from NJ for the first time, which has me super nervous - but my question is, does...

Thanks so much, I appreciate the insight. Honestly, it's been so long since we've been to Disney that I'm not sure what my goals are - and being it will be so crowded, we're definitely planning on going at a bit of a slower pace. Plus, I hope to get some candids of my son and his friends...

I'll jump in here - I've been using this winter to practice a little macro - this was from a past snowstorm in NJ, not the recent one. Macro snowflake on my red scarf. I have a more scenic shot but not on this computer :) Whoops - have to figure out how to upload a picture!! This is the file...

Good morning everyone - we are finally going back to Disney after a long time away. :yay: In the 11 years (!) since we last went, I bought my first DSLR (Nikon D5100, a crop sensor) and realized that I love photography and am kind of good at it - so I'm now a hobbyist, sometime professional...

Oh good! There's a convention when we are there, something called "Demystifying the PA Boards 4-Day Event" but I can't see that having a big impact on the resort. And since our son will be staying at Pop with his hs music department <about 300+ kids>, I probably shouldn't complain about groups...

I found a convention list on a FB group that is referenced here called Coronado Springs Buzz - it's not a complete list but what they have found from searching. The only thing listed for early March was an "International Women in Aviation Conference". We are going at a very busy week in April...

Now that sounds like heaven!!! :) That sounds really nice!!! If I have a balcony <and I lovvvvvve a balcony!> I don't mind paying for a few - well, paying a little more. :) I've never stayed at a moderate but we've stayed at other resorts in Virginia and Maryland and you had to walk to...

Thank you! I'm sure my husband picked it only based on it's proximity to the pool <and pool bar! :) > So we definitely like hearing about what everyone likes about the other areas!

Just wanted to chime in that we are staying at CSR for the first time in April - and thanks to this thread, I'm really excited. We are going at a tough time - Easter week - but my son will be performing with his HS Orchestra so I couldn't miss it. Though it's been <gulp> 11 years since we've...

Thanks for the help, everyone! Believe me, if we could go at any other time of year, I would. All the parents were annoyed that our district picked the week of Easter for our break, knowing it was a Disney year <1/3 of our HS in the music program and they perform in Disney every 3 years. A...

Thanks for the feedback! I did look at Bonnet Creek but it seems pricey - more than a moderate at Disney. The rate I was quoted was $339 a night - more than double what the other places are.

Hi everyone - my son will be performing at Disney the week of Easter. Being it is such a crazy, crowded time of year - and we are not fans of crowds - plus looking to save some money, we are considering staying off-site for the first time. We love Disney but because of the timing <4/9 - 4/14>...

I don't know if you are still looking for a poem, but this is what I used for my son's Kindergarden Program.... “WHOSE CHILD IS THIS?” "Whose child is this?" I asked one day Seeing a little one out at play "Mine", said the parent with a tender smile "Mine to keep a little while To...

I love PDDU, Cuttin' Up, Doodlecharms and Locker Talk the most. My regrets are definitely Jasmine (way too dainty) and Joys of the Season (too formal, I guess, for my tastes). My next one I hope to get is Pooh Font. :thumbsup2

I just saw our local ad and Cricut carts and accessories are 50% off - sounds like I need to stock up on mats & blades! :cool1:

I just had a friend come over who wants to put her Disney pictures into an album, but says she would never be able to do the "real" scrapbooking. But, she wanted it to look nicer than a photo album, so I gave her some cardstock, old alpha stacks I never use anymore, photo splits, etc. (she...

I had it and sold it on ebay. I liked some of the layouts, but I've liked layouts I see on sites like this much more! It wasn't really worth it to me.
