A Dole Whip in my hand & my toes in the sand: CBR/Poly Split Stay – This Is The Life!

[JoBird]

Shelly - Ghiardelli is so delicious! Congrats to your son and Capt. Jack! Great report and pictures!

Jo - bored and stressed??? Here is some DL magic for you - Halloween time at the park - I shot, edited and uploaded it from my iPad2. http://youtu.be/r_nhvl2gG_8

Mari! Good to see you!!!

Sea

What a cool Halloween video from DL Sea!!! That artist doing those pumpkins was crazy good! I'm always lucky if I can get eyes gouged into my pumpkins straight without a lop-sided look to them.
Thanks for helping to spread the Disney love!

I wondered if that was meant for me.

Do I know you???????


Kidding!!!!!!!!!

Did you have fun eatin Gator Tail for supper on Saturday??? I must confess, I slept thru most of the game once it was way out of reach. I sort of came to long enough to see Debose make the TD for us and then I was out again. Hope you had a fun time with your family at the game!

Jo - you have too much free time on your hands so I think you need to write up a TR for all your fans here.


Sea - loved seeing your video of DL, some of those craved pumpkins are unbelievable. I just recently purchased an ipad 2 can't wait now to try out using the video cam only thing I did was take a still pic of the dog

We're kinda bummed about the dog toys too. We always get our dog something every yr. and haven't been able to the last couple. We now get him a Mickey dog tag. You can get them at machines around the park. I know there's one in the Land building near Garden Grill and in the Star Tours gift shop. Just an idea for your next trip.
The Ghiardelli shop is my DH's favorite place at DTD. The sundaes are to die for. Maybe the line won't be so long next time.
Congrats to your DS and puppy for winning they are cute.

The MM dog tag is a good idea!

I hope we get to get something yummy from Ghirardelli next time!

Thanks!

Oh my!

I think Jo is bored.

Thanks Shelly!

SJS - I used the app, iMovie ($5!) to edit the clips together. Very easy to use. The only thing is that I had to reduce down the image quality to 360HD from 720HD because it would have taken almost 1.5 hours or more to upload it to YouTube at 720HD. Another solution is to just shorten your videos to 3 minutes and keep it at 720HD. Here is one I did last May at the Flower and Garden festival at Epcot: http://youtu.be/s7OdJOhffDE Overall, using the iPad for video shorts is great fun!

We had a great time, thanks! Beautiful weather - but thank heavens we were sitting on the west side and didn't face that bright sun all day! I saw lots of sun-burned faces after the game.

Y'all were kind of doomed not having your first or second string QB. But I was still worried, even until the 3rd qtr. Because teams like Florida and Alabama just have a way of winning, even if they have to come from behind.

It's just one of those transition years for y'all - certainly not a bad sign. Believe me, we have been through our share of down years! Now if Bama would just go through one of those cycles, things would be great!

So here's something I was thinking that would make the season a good one - maybe Florida will get to go to the Capital One bowl in........Orlando!! I mean, you'd have to go, right?

But since y'all ARE Florida, I suppose the SEC championship game is still not out of the question! And if you win that one, you can make a trip to NOLA for the Sugar Bowl!


Sorry, Shelly, I promise that's all the football talk on your TR!

Congrats to your DS! That is so great about him and Jack winning the contest!
And, I loved your DTD update! Shopping in WDW is my favorite type of shopping. Your DS's look like they were having so much fun! I loved the picture of DS10 talking with the CM at the Lego store.
Hope you had a great rest of your weekend!

We always have so much fun shopping at DTD!!

Next on our DTD journey was Goofy's Candy Store. The kids got some snacks and messed around in there for a bit!

By now we were back up by the Marketplace entrance and it only made sense to head out from there. But, it had started to cool off nicely that evening and we decided that now would be a good time to take on the rest of DTD. We knew we'd be coming back later in the trip, but were afraid it would be during the day and we wouldn't feel like doing all the walking on the pavement in the heat. So we turned around and headed for Pleasure Island and the West Side.

The hot air balloon was not running. Surprise, surprise. I don't think that thing runs about 80% of the time.

We stopped at various shops and looked around and just had a nice relaxing evening.

DH bought a hat at the Harley store.

We stopped by the fountain for a bit.

Then went into the Planet Hollywood store. DS12 used the voucher that came with our package and got the PH keychain.

Continued in next post.....

Continued.....


Then we went over to the bus stop on the West Side and headed back to CBR for the rest of the night. We dropped off our packages in the room and went over to the food court for a snack. IllumiNations had just started.

We took a look around the gift shops first and then went and got some snacks at the food court.

After our snack we went back to the room and played with Legos awhile and then went to bed!

And that is the end of day 2!


Up Next: A morning at the pool

 

[ronnmel]

I love jumping pictures!

You had quite a productive day/evening at DTD! I"m surprised you were able to accomplish that much with 3 boys/guys in tow!!

 

[Monny2AE]

Congrats to DS10 and Jack! Jack looked like he needed a few friends and a deck of cards around a poker table with that hat! Too cute!

Looked like a great day of shopping at DTD! Love the earrings!! Adding that to my souvenir list too. I might need to increase my souvenir budget with all the ideas I'm getting from your TR! My DS will be so excited to see the new improved Lego Store! And yes, Snow White does need a face. I agree it's creepy.


Sea- Love the Halloween video of DL. I'm always amazed at what Disney can do with a pumpkin!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

I was so far behind! All caught up now though

Crystal Palace breakfast is always great! I never even thought to make a late morning ADR... I like that idea!

Seems like yall had a blast at DTD! I love the earrings you bought to go along with that necklace.

The jumping picture of your boys in front of the fountain is one of my favorites! You should frame that one!

 

[lala3291]

It looks like you all had such a nice night in DTD! I'm glad it cooled off for you.
I LOVE that picture of the boys at the fountain! Too cute!
Looking forward to reading more!

 

[Pluto_fan]

I also love the photo of the boys jumping in front of the fountain!

 

[204charity]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the gift shop photos! I am so excited to shop when in Disney! Lol

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I am really leaning towards CBR for our next trip. I love that you can view IllumiNations! Where is your favorite place to see them while there Shelly? What a great way to end your night!

Your DS is going to LOVE the Lego store. I hope he has been saving up!!

Glad you are all caught up!!

We love making a late breakfast ADR. I am never hungry at 8 or 9 in the morning. And then a late breakfast keeps you full until dinner and you don't have to stop for lunch when everyone else is!

I tried to get several of the jumping pics, but that is actually the only one that worked out all week!
