Ha! Posted at the same time - love your CR pics. I am sold! Can't wait to hear about Chef Mickey's. We had breakfast there last year - I did not love the food, but it didn't matter because we had so much fun.
I spent so much money in those shops near Chef Mickey's last year.
We're doing the Dream next June...can hardly wait! It will be the kids first cruise. Did you book a cruise on the West Coast? Doesn't Disney leave from a port out there?? I wouldl really like to take the family to CA one day and of course do Disney Land!! We could not go to CA and miss that!
The GF might surprise you...seriously. DD5 loves it...she is constantly saying she wants to stay at the hotel with the pretty red roof! They have a great pool area, too. We've eaten at all the restaurants at the GF and love each of them! The resort can get a bad rap for beingstuffy...but I don't see that at all.....decisions, decisions...WDW offers TOO MANY!
.
Oh, I'm so jealous of your Dream trip. I hope we will get to do it eventually. I will have to live vicariously through TRs until then.
The Wonder is actually cruising Alaska now and leaving from Seattle. That means a 5-hour drive for us instead of a full day of flying, which makes it very do-able. I am very excited - I have never cruised before, and I am really looking forward to seeing the natural wonders of Alaska.
Hmmm, maybe we will have to take a little tour of the GF. We can get there by monorail or boat from MK, right??
Some people would give their right leg to be that close....I just hate driving/riding in a car!I never get tired of seeing the CR; As usual, I love your photos! It's so calm and peaceful in the morning, isn't it? Usually only some CMs near the marina or pool and CMs busy setting tables, etc... at CM.
In December, when it's much cooler, steam rises in the morning from the pool. It's both eerie and beautiful all at the same time.
You must have gotten to the observation deck before the cleaning crew? I suppose they can't be everywhere at once. It's always so sad when guests don't clean-up after themselves or their children. I'm glad it was cleaned-up later though
What a sharp contrast it must have been to go from morning serene to Chef Mickey's bustling atmosphere!
How hard is it to put them in the place Disney provides? But like I said, the next time it was spotless....still though...I think my favorite place to watch Wishes is on the Poly CL patio, sitting in my bathrobe
I had no idea that people got there this early for Chef Mickey's....I do realize it opens at 7am, but Holy Cow! I love early mornings, but not sure the kids' eyes would be open enough to eat!
Floor 9, Rooms 4517 and 4518...perfect location!
I know all about switching hotels!!! I do it every trip...no exaggeration! Which resort were you thinking about??? Do tell!!
What great ages to bring to WDW! So fun! Too funny! The campfire singalong seems like so fun! Also, it's a great idea giving each kid a few hours to do what what they wan! 
That resort looks beautiful! We'd love to stay there! The room looks awesome! And those beds look soooo comfy!!! 
The hidden mickey hunt is s cute! We should do that one of these times! Thanks for the reviews at Nine Dragons and Hacienda! We haven't eaten at either restaurant yet, and they look yummy! Wow, what yummy desserts!!! It's great that you can see Illuminations from the restaurant! What a cute picture of you all in Mexico! How cute! How cool to see SM right outside the window! I love the views from the observation deck! SO pretty!!
We caught some really great shots at the kids splash area! Phew ok, I'm caught up!!
Going back a bit...
Your kids are absolutelu adorable!
Sounds like your family had a wonderful time at FW! It looks like such a fun resort with lots to do! Like my mom said, we might have to add that one too!
How cute about the 9 year old winning the top bunk!
Yay for moving to the CR!!
Fun day at Epcot!!
I love your early morning pictures at CR! So pretty! Great view of my beloved Swalphin!
Great first couple days!! I'm excited to read more!!
....My dear friend, PrincessDis, was kind enough to bring these to me last night!!!!!......from their Disney Dream Cruise...
....I think she's slowly making her way over
Well....if you've been following along with my TR, then you know how disappointed I was when I realized there were no H2O products at FW....and yes...I still realize this is petty
She's a big MouseOwner Forum fan....I've been trying to convert her to the DisBoards for months
Thanks again, PrincessDis for my goodies!!!!!
Your trip report is awesome.......ready for more 
Thanks a million for the link to H2O products! Perhaps I can hint to DH that these would be great stocking stuffers for Christmas!
Welcome! Glad you joined in! Hopefully I can get to my Chef Mickey Post today!! By the way....love your location....'Neverland' You're getting ready to leave for vacation, aren't you?!! Did I read that correctly...AKL, Dream then BWV?! Wow! Nice trip!
I'm ridiculous... Did I mention we're thinking of moving to Florida?? We're looking at both the Orlando 'burbs, which would be awesome, Disney whenever I want, or the Space Coast (better for my fiancé's carreer, so we're leaning that way.) But the Space Coast is an hour and a half away...which means we'd still get to stay a night or two at Disney hotels in the future without seeming ridiculous...which I view as pretty awesome! I'd actually get to complete my quest of staying at all the hotels on property
