So funny that you ran into another Disser ! Although there are enough of us.

Great update !

 

[MeMom]

Yummmmmm!

Glad you got to cross paths with a DIS pal. Maybe she will step up and say and refresh your memory. We all know people don't think straight when in Disney World. I have forgotten names, too.

 

[Poolrat]

I absolutely LOVE Anna's expressions on Splash. The jumping one in front of the castle too.

Looks like Anna and Luke had a blast at MK and good advice on watching the fireworks from the Poly.

Great breakfast at Kona. I have done dinner but not breakfast- it is still on my list.

A nice no park relaxing day. I think I remember your DIS meet being mentioned way back. I hope she comes back to remind us.

I had to laugh about Seth napping in the stroller! We have the same problem! I have NEVER gotten Everett to nap in a hotel room, but for some reason he'll go right to sleep in his stroller in the middle of the park, with all the noise and people and everything, and be out for 2+ hours. Sometimes you just have to shake you head at the crazy things they do!

It looks like you guys had a great day at DTD! I have never actually been inside Goofy's candy company, but your rice krispy treat looks yummy!

I'm also really sorry to hear about your experience in front of T-Rex! I hate when big kids ruin the fun of the little ones. I'm always watching Everett like a hawk to make sure he is playing nice with other kids, I hate it when parents just space out.

 

[PirateKate]

I'm glad Seth enjoyed It's a Small World and hiding in the curtains. I love it when they stroller nap at Disney.

I love the Make Your Own Treats at Goofy's!

I hate it when older kids are thoughtless of little ones. At least the dad made the kid apologize, not that it really helps any at that point. So often though, parents of kids like that sit back and do nothing.

Love Anna and Luke's "jumping for joy" photo in front of the castle...how appropriate and fun! And their Splash photos really capture how much fun that ride is! But my favorite is Luke's making his wish...he's concentrating so hard...just adorable.

Ah, Kona, how I love you! I only wish it had stayed a well-kept secret. It's always packed at breakfast, and the wait times just seem to get longer and longer. Not that the Tonga Toast isn't worth it, of course!

Seth is so cute in the Mickey hat with his big grin, and the boneyard photos are really good, too. I'm glad he survived the other little boy's enthusiasm for finding bones!

This is the main part of WL that's to the right as you're heading towards the Villas....

The bottom floor between pillars 4 and 5 were our rooms summer 2009.

 

[mickeyfan71]

I still haven't tried EOS.
Glad to see the parent made the boy apologize-some parents will just look at you like you did something wrong.

 

[Eventer98]

Love this update since VWL is our favorite resort! Ty calls it the "train hotel" b/c of that train area

 

[solana131]

Been gone for a couple of days and finally all caught up You make me so hungry with your EOS pics and that darn Mickey Krispy treat thingy. Yum! The Hawaiian Sandwich looks good, but messy. Was it hard to eat? We have EOS planned for our DTD day. Trying to decide what to order at each place so we can have the $$. Not on the dining plan. And I had thought I had all my Kona choices picked out, then I saw your friend's Somoan. Yummmm!

 

[nowellsl]

Your pictures are just fantastic! I love Wilderness Lodge! I've never walked over to the Villas, is it hard to get reservations there when you're renting points past the 7 month mark? I like to wait until the last minute because the place I've been renting them from puts them on sale when they get close to expiring. Awesome deals, but the selection is definately limited!

 

[Leger13]

Joined in your TR and all caught up! We're going to WDW with our DS (will be 14 months old at the time) so I'm enjoying reading your trip. Looking forward to seeing how the rest went!

 

[fi46re129]

Hi! I just found your trip report last night and just finished getting caught up! Seth is such a cutie pie!

Congrats on your first 5k! We are hoping to do it next year!

So sorry Kouzzina didn't work out. A friend of ours was a chef there at the end of 2010 and warned us that the place wasn't doing great so we haven't been.

A few days into your trip ours was ending and I about fell over laughing when you posted the pic of the ipad guy! We saw him in MK one day taking video of the carousel. We thought it was crazy!

Cape May Cafe is one of our favorite places for breakfast and dinner! The food is always good there!

Love the pics of WL I can't wait to stay there one day!

Tonga toast! I have never had it and we are planning on eating there in Sept. Your pic just makes me even more sure we have to get it next time!

Can't wait to read more!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Oops! I missed your first update, so I got to read two!!! Too bad Ray was disappointed with Casey's, but at least he got his Dole Whip. Seth looked so sweet on IASW. I just love to see babies filled with so much awe at times like that! I have to admit - I love it and I love it when we have a small child or a newbie with us so I get the chance to ride - otherwise I skip it because Jim hates it

Anna and Luke packed alot into their last day! Looks like Anna's run was so nice early in the morning - even the horses greeted her! Once again, Luke is a very serious wisher!

How nice you got to meet up with Mary Margaret! Looks like a wonderful breakfast! You got alot of great Lego shots. It's so fun how they change it all the time. Yummo - your sandwiches both look delish! Non-park days are so nice and relaxing. Too bad about the kids at the boneyard. Kids just get so excited sometimes, especially on vacation - they forget to think. Boys are especially energetic and have extreme tunnel vision! It was good of the parents to correct them, and good of you to understand.

I hope your secret DISer comes out to play!

Now THAT is a rice krispie treat!

Hi there! I am just going to jump in since I rented Dawn her points at the 7 month mark. It really depends on which time of year you go. I was able to get 3 studios at the 7 month mark the first week of Oct last year! I was also obviously able to get Dawn hers. But in 08 I was on the waitlist when I wanted the week of Xmas...but it came through! I was successful in getting a studio for May too. So I have had awesome luck...I think if you want one of the bigger rooms you might have trouble..or the weeks of school breaks

Thanks, I might try it some time!

Hi!!!
How have I never read your trip reports!! Just read them all last night and I'm hooked!!!

 

[stacikristine]

Hi Dawn,

I know I'm late to this TR, but I've loved catching up so far! Seth is absolutely adorable. And it's fun that Anna and Luke were on this trip with you! We're going next December, and I've kept your Christmas trip bookmarked for future reference. Thanks for writing--I love your TRs!

 

[oOJulieOo]

Hi dawn!

I just got all caught up on your TR. I have to say that your trip thus far reminds me SO much of the trip I did with Claire when she was 10 months. I think we made it to only one of our ADRs and it was so difficult to get her to nap in the room. And we also had SO MUCH STUFF. Unbelievable when I think about it, really.

Looking at pics of Anna makes me feel like a lazy bum! Must work out more.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I'm so glad Anna and Luke had a great trip. They sure ended with a fun day/night!

It's fun to bum around DTD on a no-park day. So many things to see! Seth sure looks like he loves to dig!
