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

[JoBird]

Okay what the heck???
I posted on here yesterday and I don't see my post!! I know you think I've left you, but I haven't, I promise---

I love those pics, the boys are big and stinky yet super cute, --- but you HAVE to show them the one of Jack doing his Werewolf impersonation!!!!!!!!!! It's my fav!!! Mean dog!!


Now, to back up a bit. Super jel that you got to see Devine! I've never seen her and always think as I'm leaving, oh shoot I forgot to look for her. Anyway--- I'm glad you at least, were able to see her. Does it make you want to go to that park and stay longer next time???

Great pics of the Tree of Life too. I love that area where you can get up close to under the base of the tree and see all the animals. It's so peaceful in there- kind of like you have the park to yourself!!

Great updates--- sorry I've been out of it the past few days.


PS--
Shawna----- are you all packed? Have you shipped your box????

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Love Jack's costume!
I am not a Halloween fan (DH is out trick or treating as we speak) so i know what you mean about the costumes get worse as they get older.
Dh and DS always take the dog along trick or treating. It's his third halloween yr. 1 he was a Boston Bruin yr 2 a N.E. Patriot this yr. a Boston Celtic is there a theme going on here? lol (too bad there's no basketball this year)

Thanks!!

Yeah, DS12 is about done with the Trick-or-Treating. He really didn't care too much about it. DS10 still likes it, but isn't into the cute little costumes anymore.

Aw, I bet your doggy is cute all dressed up!

Well hello there stranger. How nice of you to join us here.....




I'm not sure that's Jack's werewolf impersonation - that's just how he always looks when he is ALWAYS biting EVERYTHING!!!!

But here you go --

I remember texting you and telling you DS and I had just saw Divine!! She was super amazing. But no, doesn't really make me want to spend too much more time at AK.


Yeah Shawna -- are you all packed???

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

We had some time to kill before we headed out for the evening, so we decided to head to the pool again. But this time the quiet pool in Jamaica! It was very nice, and quiet! Not too many people around.

The kids when in for a bit. Just as DH and I were getting ready to go in it started raining. We let the kids stay in but then it started to thunder. So out they came and we went back to the room.

DH was lagging behind, so DS thought it would be funny to lock him out!

We just hung out and watched TV for a bit and then started getting ready to head out to dinner a bit early. We figured we would shop our way to dinner!!

First stop: The Contemporary!

Up Next: Bay Lake Towers!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Up next on our little journey was BLT! I have been intrigued by BLT ever since it went up. I wasn't sure if we could get in there without a room key card or not, I thought I had previously read somewhere that it was locked and you needed a room key to enter. But we walked across the walkway thingy that connects BLT and the CT on the 4th floor and went right in, the door wasn't locked! We took the elevator to the lobby and took a look around. Every nice and modern place. We didn't stay long, we weren't sure if we were even supposed to be in there!

Then it was back on the monorail. Next stop: The Polynesian!

Anyone want to guess where we were going for dinner?


Up Next: A very good and very big dinner!

 

[solana131]

Anyone want to guess where we were going for dinner?


Oooh...I know, I know....Captain Cooks, right? I am personally very excited for Capt Cooks, but I have a feeling thats not where you went! Just have to wait and see I guess .

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Once again, you look really cute Shelly. I like your dress! We once accidentally got off the bus at BLT and had to follow someone to get through the door with their key card. It was nice but I felt odd being there. Like you said, not sure if we even should be there. Oops! I am going to guess you were going to 'Ohana! Am I right?!

Yesterday I started to make a comment about you being AWOL but then decided to mind my own beeswax. But I have definitely been wondering where you've been. Glad to see you back! Now if you'll just get started on that TR.......

 

[T*Bird]

More great pics, Shelly! I love the family pics at CBR, and your dress is really cute. Too funny the pic of your DH locked out and your DS playing it up!

I'm going with 'Ohana, too.

Almost forgot.....the pic of Jack!! "My, what big teeth you have!"

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Oooh...I know, I know....Captain Cooks, right? I am personally very excited for Capt Cooks, but I have a feeling thats not where you went! Just have to wait and see I guess .

Well, we did eat at Capt Cooks but not til later in the trip!

I had wanted to go to Capt Cooks after dinner for a Dole Whip, but I was way too full!

Thanks Kelli!

BLT gave me a little bit of an odd feeling too. I guess because I felt like we probably shouldn't be there. IDK. I'd sure stay there though!

You guessed it -- Ohana!

Thanks Teri!

DS is always doing stuff like that!

Jack's teeth used to be little & cute, but then they fell out and his big teeth came in and they hurt when he bites!!

Looks like you had a lot of fun this Halloween Shelly. Great costumes, especially Jack's!

Love the pictures of the Contemporary. I like that place a lot - it just has a great classic Disney feel to it. The Mary Blair tile work and the monorails going through it are just so, so Disneyness!

Thank you for sharing!

I'm a little late but I'm caught up now, love your TR! What a cute family. I would love to stay at the Polynesian! But I guess you haven't gotten there yet! So I guess I'm not TOO late!

Thanks Sea! The boys had fun -- all of them!

We really enjoy visiting the Contemporary. DH thinks he'd like to stay there someday. I would too, but there are others I'd rather try first!

I'm a little late but I'm caught up now, love your TR! What a cute family. I would love to stay at the Polynesian! But I guess you haven't gotten there yet! So I guess I'm not TOO late!

Welcome! So glad to still be gaining new readers! Glad you are all caught up. Hope you enjoy. Yep, the best is yet to come -- the Poly!!

 

[Practically_Perfect]

I love the figurine of the original five - so cute!

My aunt and uncle just bought that iPad cover when they were in Disneyland this summer - they love it!

I also liked "Werewolf Jack" - so cute!

 

[lala3291]

Hi Shelly!
Too bad about it starting to rain when you were about to go in the pool...I guess that's Florida weather! Great pics of the shops! I love shopping at WDW!
I cannot wait to hear where you ate, but I think I have an idea.
10 more days until we arrive at the Poly!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

What a fun little shopping journey! When we stayed at BLT I always felt so "exclusive" since you supposedly could only get in with a KTTW card.

Ohana!!!! I have GOT to eat dinner there soon. Maybe next trip.

LOVE the picture of Wolfdog Jack!!!

 

[cyndiloveswalt]

Jack's costume was so cute! I made Lucky pup a fried eggs with bacon and he walked in a parade. He did such a good job! My DS7 was Michael Jackson which was pretty cute too, he got great reactions from people. One of the neighborhood houses did a haunted trail through their yard, it was awesome and I am completely overrun with candy!

 

[Monny2AE]

Oh my gosh Jack has some sharp teeth!!!!

Can't wait to hear about your Ohana dinner!!! We went to Ohana for dinner on our honeymoon in 2001 and again in 2004 and both times were delicious and fun!

 

[JoBird]

Those dang afternoon August/September rain storms. So intrusive to pool time. It looked so empty, too.

You guys looked so cute, all ready for dinner- love your dress!

I can't believe you guys were able to walk across the crosswalk into BLT! How nice since you might like to stay there one day. Gotta be able to check all the resorts out. How many do you have left to see? The views from the Contemporary are wonderful. Maybe one day I'll stay there........


Can't wait to hear about your 'Ohana experience in detail. My kids HATED it when we ate there this time. Said it was the worse meal of the entire trip! (Might've had something to do with the waitress being bad, them being tired and knowing that a certain couple of friends were waiting for them outside.)

 

[Kat in GA]

Joining in!

We were there the same dates - though we haven't had any park overlap yet. I'll have to look for myself in the background of your pictures!

We are actually staying at the CBR in December - there have been so many bad reviews of it lately - it's really nice to see one that is so positive.

Looking forward to hearing more!

I have the suitcases out, and won't pack until next week....we are still wearing our shorts!!!! So...next week I should pack on Wed or Thursday-except for last minute things, like a flat iron! LOL!! Kids are ready to start packing, but they won't have clothes to wear between now and then if we do it now!!! Our crazy weather!
