He had to go to the gym before MK?!??

Yup he had to check out the equipment. I walked in, took one picture & walked out & took pics of the pool.

You have to understand the mentality of these kinds of guys. Trent can work a 12 hour day, but if it is work-out day, he heads straight to the gym. Such discipline.

Discipline I clearly don't have, but need to as I get fatter and fatter. I tried to run a little on a mini-tramp, but my knee suffered the consequence. I think water exercise is going to be about all I can do any more, so I am going to need a pool in my backyard - and a privacy fence.

Yes MeMom Cody is exactly the same way!!! If he gets out of work at 10:00 at night he goes to the gym if it is a workout day.

I also do NOT have that discipline & I need it badly. With all the med's & problems I had last year I blew up like a balloon!! Now I need to try & get rid of it.

Here, Doreen!!!

Jackie is here!!

Joining in Doreen !!!! Will go back to catch up!!

Rosie is here!!


I have been having a very fun morning taking some video of a bird making a nest in one of our birdhouses out back. I can watch him all day!! Unfortunately I have other things to do like going to the bank & to Lowe's to pick up a hanging plant for MIL. I will post some video later. Also humminbirds!!

Zehn like I just mentioned to Susan I think you will love the BC. She is staying there in Sept. also. You might be there at the same time! How did you like POFQ?? That is our favorite moderate.

Oh, I'm sure of it! We really liked POFQ; it was so quaint and quiet. It was so small too; and it just looked nice. I found it very relaxing, and nice after all the crowds in the park and on the bus and in the stores and at the restaurants......

Wow, that view to the left is mighty fine! I would take it, whether I had to crane my neck to view it or not!

What a great upgrade - unbelievable. It also always surprises me how BIG those deluxe rooms look compared to the values. Last October I stayed at Pop for two nights with my mom and then surprised her with a change to the CR - it was like leaving a closet and moving into a house! I'm totally OK with the values (contemplating one night at AoA before my BC stay in September right now), but the deluxes seem to just have so much more room. Looking at your picture, it looks like you could definitely do more than four people in there for awhile and be ok.

That is so funny that your son had to go to the gym first! That will be me in September! I won't run while I'm on vacation, but I WILL need to lift weights a couple of times so I'm very interested in the gym. I hope you got some pics.

 

[DisMomAmy]

I really like the view from your room!

And you got a daybed! We didn't, but the boys like getting to take turns sleeping with mom & dad when we stay in a regular sized hotel room. Everyone gets their own bed when we are in the villas, but in a regular room, Tim & I each sleep with one of the boys. They like to switch each night.

I think it's so funny that our room numbers were so similar!

I am all caught up Doreen and WOW for CL!!!!!!

Hi Zehn. Yes that is how we feel about POFQ also. The boys really love it there. We like POR also but it is huge compared to POFQ. I like POR in that it has a sit down restaurant & the food court has more choices. I like them both. Oh I am anxious for AoA reports.

Yes Cody had to take a look at the gym & see what the equipment was like.

I really like the view from your room!

Yes the day bed worked out great!!

I kept getting our room numbers mixed up!! I kept wanting to use your rooom #.

I am all caught up Doreen and WOW for CL!!!!!!

Yes Rosie we were so lucky to get the upgrade!! Like I mentioned before we would not have experienced it any other way. It was wonderful!!!



I want to wish all of you Dismom's out there a very Happy Mothers Day!! Enjoy it. I will hopefully be able to do an update later & post a few videos on what I was doing this weekend.

Janet. Thanks for joining in. It was a great upgrade!!

 

[disneyfan61]

Well I hope all of you had a wonderful Mothers Day. I had a GREAT weekend. We had beautiful weather here in NH & yesterday got all of our patio furniture out, went shopping for hanging plants & I watched a bird make a nest in one of our birdhouses. I am going to try & post a video. Well I did not realize it takes FOREVER to download a 50 second video into Photo bucket. I will post pics instead..

He worked hard all weekend making the nest. We get such a kick out of watching them.

I also bought a cute Disney item for my garden this week

Isn't it cute???

Last night the 4 of us went to the movies & saw the Avengers. It was awesome!!!! Ryan said it was probably the best movie he has ever seen. It did not seem like 2 hrs & 22 min. It went by so fast so I guess it was that good!!

Now to continue on with the TR..

We left off that we were headed to MK but took a short detour first.

We checked out the lounge first of all

Yum for sweedish fish & choc. covered pretzels

DH getting a Mocha

Yummy chips & dip

Then we headed downstairs to ..............

Yes the gym!! I took this one picture & then headed to......

AHHHH beautiful SAB!! I have many more where those came from. Then we went by

Once we checked out that area we headed out the front doors to the bus stop & got to MK around 12:15. The first pick I took there was

Ah we had arrived

We got a photopass card as we were sharing a photopass that Amy (DisMomAmy) organized. The CM was nice enough to take a photo with my camera as well.

DS's

[tinacaplan]

Love all the BC pictures. I miss it and can't wait to go back!

I'm in CT and we did have pretty amazing weather today!

 

[disneyfan61]

My guys were headed toward one area but I had to stop to take these pics. They would need to get used to this throughout the trip.

We headed to Space Mtn. but it was a 40 min. wait so we got FP's & headed to one of Ryan & Cody's favorite-Mike's Laugh Floor. No wait.

After Mike's we got a snack. DH, Cody & I got a cream cheese pretzel. One of DH's favorites. I took a bite before remembering to take a pic

Ryan got an ice cream. I wanted to go check out my favorite ride Splash. Some pics I took along the walk over.

There was a show going on

Well I am going to end it here for tonight.

Coming up:

Did we ride Splash??

What broke down as we approached the ride???

Where do we eat dinner???

 

[disneyfan61]

Love all the BC pictures. I miss it and can't wait to go back!

I'm in CT and we did have pretty amazing weather today!

Hi Tina. Isn't BC wonderful?? One of the many things I miss about it is the smell. I forgot what they said it was. It is a combination of 2 things. I need to go back to the boards & find out.

The weather was great this weekend. The next few days are not looking too hot.

 

[englishrose47]

Great updates Doreeen !! I see you can no longer use FP's after the time !!!That;s a bummer kinda puts a kink in our well made plans !!!

 

[ZehnJahren]

Thanks for the shot of the gym; very helpful! lol!

Also, that picture of the castle show (right before the pic of the Adventureland sign), with the two women looking very happy while dancing, is cracking me up! WOW, they love their jobs!

Hi there. Joining in
Great start with the super upgrade!

 

[disneyfan61]

Great updates Doreeen !! I see you can no longer use FP's after the time !!!That;s a bummer kinda puts a kink in our well made plans !!!

Yes the monitoring of the FP times really does put a kink in the plans. We did not ride nearly as much as we usually do.

Hi there. Joining in
Great start with the super upgrade!

Welcome Suzie!! Yes it was a GREAT upgrade. We really enjoyed it.

Yeah one picture & I was outta there! Cody on the other hand spent approx. 2 hrs in there every afternoon.

I didn't even notice the women in the show. I had to go back & look. Yes they do look like they enjoy their jobs. I most certainly do not look like that when I am working.

I noticed this too. And in the parade we saw I kept commenting on how hard it must be to keep a smile that big on your face while you are singing, dancing, and moving along with the parade! All those little things are what makes Disney, Disney. They sure don't smile like that in the parades here at home
