First of all, Happy Birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day.

Remy! I need to book lunch for DH and I there when we go in October. Ratatouille is his favority Disney movie and I think it will make his day to meet Remy. He pulled out the movie on Christmas day and that's what we watched during lunch.

It looks like you had a nice leasurely stroll through the World Showcase that afternoon.

I love taking that boat ride between Epcot and HS. It's so relaxing and neat to see the Boardwalk and hotels. And I knew exactly where you were since I have a photo of that tree too!

All caught up after a week away from the boards!

Sorry the Pop Warner crowd was so annoying. It's times like this I wish I could carry a taser around.

Seems like the "new" Test Track is the same as the old one. Which is a bit disappointing. I guess if you liked the old one it's ok, but if it's going to be down for months you really hope they'll do something to wow you, like the new Star Tours.

Des' international balloons shirt is cute--hadn't seen that one before. And the shots of her and Mark dancing are very precious.

You're all making good time in your tours!

Hope you had a wonderful birthday.

Thank you fo rall the birthday wishes. I'm not sure if I'll get to responses today or not, but I will respond to each and every one of you (work is crazy with a last minute closing today).

In the meantime, for those of you not friends with me on FB, here is the dress I got for the wedding in June.

Hello from Long Island, NY!

I'm a new reader to your posts...DH and I going to the World January 23-30. So looking forward to it!

Staying at the Coronado. Your reviews of this resort sold me but good! Requested a room in Casitas #4.

I am enjoying reading/viewing pictures of your trip(s). Thank you so much for all your efforts here at the DIS!

Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy 2013!

Don't call them neon lights... some people might take offense. And that's why I typically stay away from the Theme Park Strategies board.

I agree with you and Kathy for the most part, although I do love the queue and the design part. I actually think it will make me tend to want to ride it more often just to play with the computer screens, but I was definitely disappointed by what they did with the ride itself.

Looked at the link - Brother! That is Nerdy and funny all at the same time.

Happy Birthday Kathy! I love the update - Des dancing with Mark is just the sweetest memory! Tell Andy I think she's a keeper! Someone mentioned the PW crowd and making noise for them in the morning. Too bad you didn't stalk a few of them to see which rooms they were in and then you could do some door knocking and wake up calls! The tree is pretty - can't wait to see where it is!

Congrats on getting your Mom's dress. It can be a challenge finding the right one. Yours is beautiful!

I can't believe that I got behind again!

Happy Belated Birthday Kathy! Hope it was great!

Love the photos of Des and Mark dancing, that's so sweet. I love Des already. Can we start a Dis-petition to make her a permanent part of your family?

I've officially subbed to Nicki's dining reviews. I have Les Chefs on the list for our next trip (this summer I hope!), so I'm eager to hear your thoughts. I figure it's a good meal for me and DH and a bonus "character" to please Maddie!

Happy New Year to you and yours Kathy!

 

[DMGeurts]

That is an absolutely GORGEOUS dress Kathy!

Happy New Year to you!

I am really enjoying yourTR. We are planning on going to WDW next year the beginning of DEc. I was surprised Pop Warner was at Coronado...I thought they would be at the Values. Other than at the hotel wer they in all the parks? How did it impact the lines in the parks? I just retired and have never gone at that time of year as we usually go the end of Jan to get out of ther cold in Vermont. But my DH really wants to see all the decorations, I do too, so we decided to go at that time. We plan to stay at POFQ and will have 2 or 3 rooms depending on how many kids come etc. I love all your pictures!!!
