MEK, I am hopelessly behind yet again (although I do have a good excuse--I'm in Florida still). I did skim and love your day by day reviews and always enjoy looking at your pictures.

How did I miss so many of your recaps??

Well I loved re-reading about your trip, I think the new queue absolutely counts as a new attraction in MK! Can't wait to read your new TR!

TanzUnited99 · 10-03-2011, 06:36 AM

Epcot!!! I love this park after our visit and took some pics of the gardens in Canada as well - they are so pretty.

We visited Beach Club and loved it! It sure is a great resort.

Loving the reviews of the restaurants and your thoughts on each one. I wish I had spent more time at the UK phone booths as it would have been fun. Can't wait for you to trick Denny and Nick!

Jalepeno Margaritas??!! Hmmm.....

I am actually embarrased to say I was the only one who didn't have a drink at the Dawa bar. I think I was in a post lunch lethargy state at the time and needed something to wake up my butt! Fortunately EE took care of that!

We really did have a ton of fun this trip.

The jalapeno margarita is delicious - do not even hesitate for a moment on that one!!!!! Excellent!

I didn't update my TR title everytime I posted recaps. I just sort of snuck in and out!

I'm glad you think the new queue counts.

I just started my new TR - link at bottom of page!

Isn't it wonderful? We spent so much time at Epcot and every time I do I just love it more and more. It's such a fabulous park!

It really is. I look forward to staying there again. My final post made me realize I want to go back there sooner than later. Hmmmmm....it makes me want to add a few nights there in June!

I really should go back and read what I wrote because I was so darn tired at the time.

I hope I didn't say anything too crazy!

MEK · 10-03-2011, 07:45 AM

So, I finally did - with less than 3 weeks until HHI I started my new TR and here is the link...

Why Not Just Queue up Another Disney Trip?

Hope you stop by!

Thanks for joining in Amy! It was a pleasure to have you. I can't believe this is finally coming to a close.

2xcited2sleep · 10-03-2011, 06:32 PM

Thanks for writing this, ME! It has been a blast reliving the trip and you did a great job keeping it moving as well as capturing all of the fun we had.

Thanks C! I had fun writing it and did do a good job at keeping it going, if I do say so myself. Cynthia also did an awesome job with her updates. I want to go back tonight and pick out my 4 favorite pictures (one from Melissa, one from you, one from Cynthia, and one from me). I know exact which one I am reposting of Melissa's. Its so super cool.

I think having the KP ring tone is an awesome idea. Why didn't I think of that?

It sure is - at least for me!!!! I'm 99% sure Cynthia is on board as my roomie. I hope we can do some real planning when everyone gets back from their October trips.

Each of the Ladies contributed wonderful pictures to this TR and there were many that were very memorable. You know the kind - the kind where when you look at them you wish YOU had taken. So Now I Present my Favorite Pictures.......

Naturally, one of my favorite pictures has to include a picture of the castle. I mean, come on - how can you NOT love a picture of the castle. I do recall that Christine got a ton of positive comments when she posted this picture:

It just looks like the perfect Disney day. What a wonderful screen saver this would be. On a bad day can't you just picture yourself sitting at one of those tables?

Cynthia took so many wonderful pictures with he new camera. It was hard to pick a favorite scenery picture, since they were all great. But, I have a thing about food and catching someone in the act of making great food just speaks to me. I love this picture. It's got great composition and leaves you really wanting that cookie.

Courtesy of Cynthia

Keeping with the food theme, I think I found one of Tracy's pictures that didn't get a lot of attention, but when I reviewed pictures I immediately wanted to drink one of these. Yes - even at 7am!!!!!

Tracy was responsible for all the iconic drink pictures in our TR- the can in a can in a can picture and the lovely champagne in France, but I picked this one not only because I liked it, but because I am absolutely trying one of these in December!!!!!!!

The next picture is mine. When I originally posted this picture I said I loved it and at the end of this TR I still do. I remember thinking - how the HECK did I get that picture? That's when Denny made the blind squirrel comment.

Ta Da.....

But....My favorite picture of the entire trip ......drum roll please.....was taken by Melissa

Seriously - this picture could be in a National Geographic magazine. It is perfect!

Thank you everyone for posting your wonderful pictures!!!!!

Up Next......PP Pics and Final Thoughts!
