Hello from Maine! Just found your trip report. Just caught up. What a cutie Bradey is. That's a great age. Our boys were 5 and 7 when we took them for the first time so many years ago.

 

[RHMH]

You are so FUNNY

 

[DMGeurts]

<------ I am here too... Waiting...

After my trip and a week to rest I am all caught up.

BOMA looks amazing. Definitely a place I would like to try!

I, for one, I am SO glad your TR moves slow! I only missed one update..now I am all caught up again! That is so incredibly cool that you surprised D~ and her girls!

I have STILL never seen the opening show for MK... I will some day..I just know it!

I, being the Disney food lover that I am, just LOVE the pictures of your POFQ lunch. YUM! We finally go to try the Food & Wine festival this time...TO. DIE. FOR!!! Seriously good food..and I got pictures of EVERYTHING we tried! I was a MUCH better Diser on this trip with the food porn pictures than I was last year!

It was fun being there when D, A & V arrived. And we got to meet Tasha, who I didn't know at all on here so that was neat.

I just love the opening show. I wish all the parks did that. I even get teary eyed at Epcot's little dumb opening spiel.

The lunch at POFQ was great. That is one of my favorite food courts I have tried. It is still small enough that you don't feel overwhelmed, but it has a great variety. And honestly, who doesn't love a Po'Boy??

Great update!

Thank you

So glad you had another great meal at Boma (me, personally, I'll stick to breakfast; don't like hummus, not a big salad fan and don't like squash).

I love the change from last year to this year with Bradey and his overcoming his shyness. Good for him.

I really want to try Boma for breakfast. We will when we stay there someday.

I really think school is what has opened him up. He is still really shy at first, but he is trying new things all the time which I love.

WHAT A FANTASTIC UPDATE!!!
the food does looks yummy!!! Sara does love desserts! and you guys with the picture perfect plates!?!? you have everything in it's place, and arranged perfectly! i can guarantee i will never have that...
Bradey look very happy with his Chicken legs!

Hahahaha, this is a big problem I have with buffets. Some foods are just not meant to go together. And I just get icked out when I see people with plates just rounded up with everything all together. IT IS A BUFFET PEOPLE. You can go back and get more! You don't have to get everything all on one plate! I am not all squeemish about food touching on the plate or anything like that, but just some things do not taste good all mashed together. So, yes, our plates were very neat looking. Plus, they are big plates with only tiny samples of everything, so that makes them look neater too.

And yes, Bradey loves his chicken. I rarely make it at home like that because I don't like meat with bones. Just all the nasty veins and gristle. Bleh.

I am so happy He finally is coming out of his shell to do all these FUN things in Disney!! Just wait.. they come out.. then they go right back IN because they're too cool... I am working on this now... I hope Bradey keeps coming out. He is such an adorable boy he needs to show the world what he is capable of!!!

AKL Looks amazing. so beautiful. yet way too far away from everything. I think it is more for people who spend lots of time at the resort?

I think it would be great for our trip. We will probably spend more time at the resort...AKA....more time at the bars....
But like you said, we need to know more about pricing first.

What a great update!!!

First - I have a picture of the pillowcase - somewhere... I took it to show Mo before we left... I'll have to see which folder I put it in...

Then... LOL... I can't believe Mo sent you pictures of what we were wearing... You two crack me up - I just love you both!

I could get a pic of the pillowcase now, but I really wanted to get some pictures transferred on to it first. Just haven't had time....story of my life lately.

Boma looks amazing!!!! We ate there for dinner in March 2012, and it was great... However it didn't make our must do list last trip... I am quite certain that it will make it for the next trip though.

Oh yes, with a vegetarian in your clan next time it will be great!

Hmmm... I've always wanted to stay at AKL too... I know it's far out there - but have we even considered that resort for our girls trip? That would be FUN! We could do a bunk room??? I am not really a fan of the top bunk, but we could take the matress down and put it on the floor? I think we should consider this.

I think this really would be do able if we could convince them to book us in a bunk room with 4 adults But I think the plan we sorts decided on is a great one too. It is going to be SO MUCH FUN!

I loved your update Suzi... And I love how brave Bradey was during this trip - he tried so many new things! I miss you guys terribly!!!

I can't believe how talkative he was with you three. It must have been your girls. Between Dani and Sara, he is around teenage/young adult girls all the time, so he knows how to react to them.

He really like you guys too. When I mentioned going to Disney briefly this winter, he asked "will D and her girls be there?"

If Not i am sure i have it somewhere too....

you have forgotten my ninja skills?!?!

We did talk about this... and GF and Poly.. and AOA... and POP.. and and and!!!

And everywhere. It doesn't matter. We will have a blast no matter where we stay. If I have enough I can sleep anywhere!

Hey, everybody's having fun without me. Suzi, you missed my comments. Apparently I was posting at the same time you were, my comments appear right before your post.

I did see it. I just ran out of time that day and haven't been back since....I wasn't ignoring you!

Anywho...Boma is definitely on our to do list for our next Disney vacation! Brian and the kids and I are very adventurous eaters, so I think we would love Boma. We had Sanaa last year...and LOVED it, too!

Oh you will love it! It does have some adventurous options, but really has a lot of plain things too. The whole carving station is just plain meats with interesting sauces you can add if you want...or not if you want.

That savannah shot was like JACKPOT! So many different animals in one picture!!! We saw some animals when we visited Sanna, but they were very scattered. You definitely hit it at the right time..WTG!

I know! Last year when Dani and I went there we didn't see any! It really was a JACKPOT

AKL - WOW!!! What a great resort. Really enjoyed our stay there this past July...

You make us miss it so much... Got to go play our videos and go through our pictures now.

I can't wait to try it sometime. It is just so different and beautiful.

Ok, I am finally all caught up!

You are making me miss Disney so much! Can't wait to go back. I would love a girls trip too!

You should consider renting points from DVC and stay at one of the deluxe resorts!

Ok, my brain is fried right now and I'm going to go veg and watch tv.

I have looked into renting points a few times, but it just never seems to work out for me. With the bed configurations we need each time, we would need a 2 bdrm or something and it is always more expensive. Plus, I don't like the cancellation policies as well as room only either. But maybe some day.

You are so FUNNY

Oh yes....she is frickin hillarious

Hello from Maine! Just found your trip report. Just caught up. What a cutie Bradey is. That's a great age. Our boys were 5 and 7 when we took them for the first time so many years ago.

Hi there! Where in Maine?? We are in Cornish, in South Western, ME along the NH border.

And thanks...I think he is pretty cute, but I'm slightly prejudice...
It is such a great age. He was 5 the first time and 6 this year.

<------ I am here too... Waiting...

Hi D

After my trip and a week to rest I am all caught up.

BOMA looks amazing. Definitely a place I would like to try!

Hope you had a great trip....I know you did because I am over at your TR now.....better late than never. Slacker Suzi here


So here's the deal folks. I promise I will get this report finished. Just might take a while. I totally understand that I have lost and will still lose readers, but there's just nothing I can do about it right now. I am starting a new adventure with this AVON thing and it is taking WAY more time than I thought it would. We live in such a rural area, and have a lot of reps out here, that I have had to drive quite a ways to find customers. I spend a lot of my free time (which isn't much to begin with) driving my catalogs and orders all over the state and to NH. So it is eating up a lot of time. Once I get a normal customer base, I won't have to do that. But until then....the updates are going to be few and far between. Plus....it's not like a have a PTR I need to start or anything. I would like to stretch this out a little longer because when it is done, I am done. No trips in sight for a while

Plus, we have some major drama going on with our school system and I seem to be stuck right in the middle of it. So that takes me away from my precious DIS time too. But I WILL get this done. My goal is to have one update a week. We'll see if that happens....

Thank you all for sticking it out, I appreciate you all! ..... yes, even you Mo. Even though you pick on me all over the DIS and I never know where I will find it......MARCO...

Oh my gosh...you're kidding! Too funny. Hi neighbor I smell a DISmeet. There are a couple other local DISers.

 

[DMGeurts]

Thanks for checking in... I know you have been so busy - but I admire you for starting off on your latest adventure! I just know you will do well.

Awww... That is so sweet that Bradey asked if we were going to be there... He is so adorable and we miss him... I can't wait to tell the girls that he asked about us. Please say hello to him and give him big hugs.

Take your time, you know I will always be here. (((Hugs)))
