Hey Michelle
Sorry to hear Jordan was sick on vacation. We went home the 26th and on the 27th I woke up with a cold. We never got sick at Disney but Kalyn had a headache one year and was miserable for 2 days.

Again, sorry we missed the Dis meet. I forgot to write it down.

Funny passport story - Kalyn decided when we were in the UK she would get one so she would have the stickers for her scrapbook. And being 19, she didn't want to get all the stamps and signatures so she had her sister do it for her. We never remembered to go back to Canada so when she was doing her scrapbook, she didn't use any of the pages because she didn't have them all So Jourdan stood in line with all the "little kids" for her and she never used them.

Reporting for Duty! I just sat down and read this whole thing through- I LOVE your report! I just reread your Halloween one a few weeks ago to pick up some ideas for this year's trip!

I loved your GF photos- it's such a pretty resort, and you got some neat, unusual shots of it!

Your private tea looks amazing! What kind of tea did you have? We did the regular tea in January, and now I'm addicted to the Eros tea! I'm sad they aren't doing private teas anymore- it looks like it would really be worth splurging on!

So, do they send over a loan officer to the table when they ask if you want to book the chef's table?

I wonder if the bird on your balcony on the foggy GF morning is the same one who posed for photos for me at the Boardwalk? Maybe he's a bit of a ham, and flies around the World posing for photos?

Your BW view photos are beautiful! We're hoping to stay there for our "Disneyween" trip this October!

I wonder if I can talk your daughter into making decorations for my Halloween trip!

Loved the weather graphic idea! I might have to steal that one in the future, if you don't mind!

Your gorilla picture is great! I looked at it and actually said "Hey, I know that guy!" I think I've spent a little too much time with them in the past few years! I really think Animal Kingdom has the models of the gorilla world, though- they really know how to pose!! I too wish they would add in Beastly Kigdom- the Yeti is a great example of how cool it could be!

Thanks for sharing all of the videos! I always go with great intentions of videotaping a lot, and then I never do! Next time!

Is the Tomb Warrior exhibit new? I can't believe I missed it! Seeing the real terra cotta soldiers is big on my list of things to do in my lifetime!

Thanks for posting those great pictures! They look wonderful! What a shame the dance was canceled. It seems the storms always hit at the wrong times!

I'm looking forward to more of your report!

They look soooo cute!!!! Sorry they got the dance canceled, but at least they have a good night!

 

[sharonW]

aaaaaaaaaaaah, how cute!! They're a great couple!
Has your ds asked if he can take his gal to disney
yet?? On many of our trips to see the mouse our
boys had a friend along. It was fun, but just family
together is the best!!

Your trip is just amazing. Any Disney fan's dream come true. Thanks for sharing it with us and for posting so many awesome pictures!

Michelle... another great day!!! We always sit between those
two shops for illuminations. Dh holds our spots and I shop in
those stores!! It is a great viewing place, I agree! Once we
discovered that spot it became our "forever" place to show
that fantastic show. Michelle, how big is Old Key West? How
many bedrooms does a suite have? Am still so enjoying your
fabulous trip!!

We stopped half-way around World Showcase and just looked around, realizing that we were REALLY in WDW for Christmas! It was a dream come true!!!

I love that feeling when you truely know you're at WDW finally after all those months of planning and counting down!

We were down there for Christmas in 2001 and on Christmas Day it was SO cold that we had to buy sweatshirts and we could see our breath. Was it that cold for you guys while you were down there?

 

[jakenjess]

Knowing that there will be a 'next time' helps!

That's my mantra ever since we bought DVC! There will be a next time!
It really does help with those end-of-the-trip blues.

I love your pictures of OKW. We stayed there a couple years ago and will be going back in Oct. You're right about those huge villas!

Looking forward to more!

You know I am loving those pictures of Sea Breeze Point!

I'm really thinking I need to go book a room at The Boardwalk Inn!

Excelent installment! I love the pictures.

I always find that the unscheduled, spur of the moment events tend to be the best.

I love that location for watching Illuminations, its perfect because you get to see every country!
