The title of your next post sounds like what I say in Disney...."I swear it's only a few minutes' walk! It'll be fast!" *20 minutes later...* At least we're fast walkers!
So sorry about your Aunt's passing Praying for your family
Thank you so much!
Fun Day At Disney Quest!! I have never been there, it always sounded like fun but we never had the extra time.
to your family, Lisa and an extra hug to Mama.
I know your family's love and faith will get you through this sad time.
Thank you so much Dee!

Disney Quest is not my favorite place in the World.
At least you did it right, going during the day when it was not too busy. You almost made it look like it was worth the trip!
Worth the trip for me? Probably not. Worth the trip for Hunter? Absolutely!
My main issue with the place when it is crowded is that once you are playing a game, there is no time limit, so my boys would be waiting to do something and the person using the machine would not leave. Once someone tried to cut my son in line after he had been waiting about 20 minutes for something.
I agree with you wholeheartedly on this one. People can be so rude. Just like staying on a game forever when they know that someone like your son is waiting to play.
Some of the interactive stuff sounds interesting, but then I was disappointed that there was never an Animation class. Pirates of the Caribbean is pretty cool, though.
Out of everything, Pirate is my favorite.
Rumor is that is (or will) be closed, but I haven't followed that news.
It is supposed to close but I don't think that they've ever released a firm date on when it will be. A new NBA experience is supposed to take its place.
Looking forward to the next thing on your agenda, once you get there after a looooonnnng walk. Lego?
Thank you all so very much for your kind words and for your prayers! My aunt passed away just hours after they removed her from life support. The funeral services were this weekend and it was a celebration of her life. Lots of fast paced gospel music and stories shared. We will miss her dearly but we also know where she is now and we will all see her again some day.
I am so sorry to hear, but what a great way to celebrate her life!
My aunt passed away just hours after they removed her from life support.
I say "down day" but y'all know that I can't schedule a complete day of doing nothing. So, maybe I should start calling them "sleep in for a little bitty while before we head out for the rest of the day" day.
I could never ever get the hang of it and ended up with a toy that had a body and one leg.
I knew not to expect any entertainment out in the middle of the day but I expected it to be a busier. There were hardly any people out:
It's a short walk he said! It'll only take 10 minutes he said! He needs to check his watch!
Nice pictures around the Boardwalk resort. Even though it is "just across the pond" I haven't spent much time there.
I have done the walk between HS and the Beach Club though. Never in that direction- always from HS to BC. I would say that walk is about 20-25 minutes. We have raced the boat just as it arrives at the HS dock and we won both times.
Just barely though!
I like the picture of the 3 of you in front of the Swan- you match- all wearing some maroon.
I hear you on that walk. I decided we would walk from DHS to Yacht Club for our lunch ADR last April. There is NO shade on that walk, it was hot as blazes and for the first time ever, I became ill from the heat. And I'm sure it took us a good thirty minutes.
We were there the same time mostly as your family last summer and we found the Boardwalk to be almost completely empty too! Even the restaurants we stopped in, save for dinner Trattoria al Forno (highly recommended btw). We didn't spend as much time as usual there either since it was so desolate.
Playing catch up today around the DIS. Got yours all done just in time before you head back!
Oh and so sorry to hear about your Aunt's passing.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Lisa. Prayers for your family.
Thank you!
Sounds about right! It's Disney! You can sleep when you're dead!
and, I want to be cremated and scattered all around WDW so if my wish is granted, I'll be sleeping/dead there too.
So you made one of Sid's toys.
Wow, that really is a ghost town.
I know!
In Florida heat, every walk seems much longer!
Finally caught up!
First of all, I'm so sorry about your aunt. Sending a big hug to your sweet Mama.
Thank you!
I'm so glad your Trip Reports "last a long" time LOL! I can count on reading something all year round with Lisa! You'll be back there soon.
I had to laugh...I have shown my husband where to read your report on the computer so he can follow along too. (Both of us have since the tooth incident)
The other day he said something was wrong with the computer, it wouldn't let him continue with the report. Quoting him "Yeah, I haven't gotten to the part when her daughter shows up"
I chuckled...."That's because she hasn't written that part yet!"
If I would just stop going back and correcting myself or put in so much detail, I would probably be to that point already.
Glad that you had fun at the water park. You got to do a lot. Probably never get there, hubby NOT a water person.
I'm not a big water person either but I love the water parks at Disney.
Really enjoy that you take so many pictures of everything. There are so many new things since we were there last time that I feel informed by you. Disney Spring will be fun to explore.
i'm so excited to see what Disney Springs looks like when we are there this weekend.
Very fancy laundry set up.
We probably will be trying it since we will be there 10 days.
I really never asked my daughter but I know I read some where that her dorm had something similar.
Aren't the laundry rooms all fancy smancy? I love having the ability to watch the progress and not having to just sit there waiting on it.
FYI, we shorten our trip a few days and while on the phone I put in our request for Jamaica since that's where Lisa likes to stay!
We love Jamaica!
Don't know if I'll have the chance again, so I will say :
Congrats to Hunter! Hope he enjoys his Big Day!
Also have a great time at Disney! I know you didn't do a PTR but hope you give us a little hint on what's happening this year.
