Oh my gosh Dee! How the heck did you take pictures while on Tower of Terror? I'm always holding onto John for dear life. I can't even imagine trying to take pictures.
Ben is really really needing a Disney fix! Love his passion for Disney.
I just told my DH last night that he was right. LOL. When our tripped got postponed for a week because I was sick he suggested we postpone the Disney portion for later in the year and just go ahead with the beach part at Gulf Shores. I didn't want to hear that of course and managed to flip flop the weeks and we still visited Disney. Now that we're home it seems as if I have nothing to look forward to. He was right I was wrong. Then he SHOCKS me and says well we could always go back in November when its our anniversary!!!!!! What the heck! Have I drove the man crazy?!
Looking forward to what other Disney ideas Ben comes up with! Go Ben!!!!
Nope ours was a different Alex! Older guy with salt pepper hair and beard to match. I am anxious to hear your take on this DHS YES program. I definately want to do YES next summer and am trying to narrow the classes. This one looked interesting aloong with the marine biologist program at Epcot.
Love that kid!!
I can see my DS11 doing something similiar next year.
I need to adopt Ben. We go every June but I was hoping to go back this November as well. DH is like sure if you really want to...DD13 tells me disney feels more special if we only go once a year. And she only likes to go in June.....So we either go without her in Decembeer or wait until next June. Somehow I can' tsee leaving her behind......Ben and I would travel well together!!!!

This is what Ben did yesterday. He gathered all of the park maps and wrote out every attraction from each park, with each of our names, so we could rate them 1-10. Then he did the same for restaurants, both CS and TS that we have dined at. Then resorts. And he included US/IoA, too.

Come stay at BC the last week of August. We'll be there! (Probably, at least!)

I wish I lived with Ben. My family never indulges me in my wishes to talk on and on about disney. I'd love to rate attractions with Ben.
Dee- loving your pictures! Just caught up. You got some great ones in Mexico and some of the best I've seen of TOT - my favorite ride of all time.
Sounds like he really, really wants to go to Disney. This also sounds like something I would do. So, besides the Beach Club, which I am guessing was first in the resort category, what else came in first?
Dee. Where was the Ben's Powerpoint. Here or Y&BC. I've had internet problems (too) and can't remember where I saw it and wanted to show Lee Ann. So cool.
I had a proud Disney grandparent moment at MK last month. We were ready to leave as the night time parade was beginning. We were in Adventureland and I told my daughter to just walk through the stores to go out the front of the park and I pointed toward Casey's. Well Pierce proceeded to inform me that we need to go to the other side of the street because if the parade had started we wouldn't be able to get out by the Emporium! I was so proud !
That is definitely a good time to go. Airfares are not too bad (relatively speaking) that week, and crowd levels tend to be pretty low the week before school starts in most areas.
We have been the last week in August the past 2 years -
LOW crowds!!

Ben is hyper-focusing big time. Yesterday he was looking at our pictures from 2010. He saw the pictures from the Concierge Lounge at BC and declared that his favorite restaurant.

Caught back up. Epcot is gorgeous at night, isn't it? Planning on doing an EMH this trip and can't wait.
Love Ben's enthusiasm. We have a girl's trip with me, DD, my friend and her goddaughter coming up in October and she's already planning on when we can go again as a family with DH and Little DD.
Finally caught back up! Or at least I thought I had till I saw all the comments about Ben's .ppt and I just had to go back and look.
That. Was. Awesome.
Tell him if, when he gets older, he wants an internship with an internet hosting company let me know. I swear that's WAY more creative than most of my sales reps are able to manage. I think "The End is Coming" slide is a very good twist. As was showing the house in SNOW.... just so... you know, it's warm in Florida... in case you forgot. I just love that he did that!
As for the updates themselves, it sounds like things are going better than the encounter with Stitch.
I have to say your pictures of Mexico at night are simply breathtaking! Did you do that w/ your point and shoot or SLR? If the latter, what settings? I've never got shots that nice!
Can't wait to see what the Imagineer had to impart.....
I would show the popcorn icon, but the stupid emoticons are apparently playing musical chairs this week.... (drat you, Mitch!!! Keep your people in line already!!!)
Ahem.
Love it! VERY proud moment! And Happy Belated Birthday!
Love this, too! We're thinking about changing our GV at BC for October to standard CL. We like that restaurant, too!
Found the DL ToT photo. Terrible picture - almost embarrassed to post it - but I was moving fast through the line at ToT in DL and wanted to catch it:
Now you're humming it, too, aren't you?
You're welcome!
The smilie thing is driving me too! As I posted on someone else's TR, do we really need on the front page? And where are my dancing bananas!!!
Yes!
Here ya go!
This one is puzzling too... But I do like and
I'll see what song I can instill in everyone next time.
.
Please don't pick the Muppets theme song. That one is the worst to get out of my brain. (Crap - now I can't stop humming it.)

OK, now you got me humming the Rainbow Connection
Why are there so many rainbows and what's on the other side?.....
