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

[ddluvsdisney]

I hate the last day it is so sad. The longer the vacation- I think it's even harder to leave.
So sad your TR is over I really enjoyed it. Your pics were all fantastic. I am definately going to try a family photo shoot of my own this year. I will learn how to post pics and show you them.
It's so nice to spend time w/ friends in WDW. Nice group shots!
We never use ME to go back to the airport b/c you have to leave to dang early!!
Well looking forward to your next TR

I forgot to say that I got some Tonga Toast at Capt. Cooks one morning and it was gross. I had such high expectations and was so sad. I want to try it at Kona next time maybe it will taste better. I don't think it was very fresh- not very warm.
Something else to look forward to.

Awe, so sad it's over, but am SO glad you shared your trip with us ! You did a great job on your TR. I'm so excited for our trip and reading reports is the only thing getting me through the next 2 months !

Thank you Michelle. I really enjoyed sharing the trip with all of you. I hope it helped in getting you ready for your trip!!

I somehow thought we would be ready to go home after 10 days, but we weren't. I think it was because we just had such a great trip.

Glad you liked the TR and the pics. I can't wait to see your family photoshoot!!

We love the ME bus to WDW, but the ride back to the airport is so depressing.

Really??? I was going to get some from there one morning, but I'm glad I didn't. Don't worry, it's always fresh & warm at Kona.

If you're a nerd then so am I!

And yes, I just hate those people who are checking in the day we are leaving. Same thing when we get to the airport and they come off that plane all smiling and happy that they just arrived in Orlando.



Yes, our kids are the cutest! But no, IDK what movie you are talking about.

Sounds like you better take your DS skiing!

I'm glad you have enjoyed the TR. Give me a month or so on the PTR, okay?

"Same time, Next Year" That's the movie I was talking about (thanks, Google!). It was from 1978. So how old were you then? Like 1 or 2? Or maybe just a thought? But anyway, ir was about a couple who meet up once a year at the same place.

Maybe my DS should take us skiing!!

OK, I'll cut you some slack on the PTR. But that means I'll have to go looking for some other TR's to read in the meantime..........and you know what kinds of stuff I can find on the Dis when I've got time on my hands!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Thanks Shelly.
We would like to stay at Poly, but we wouldn't be able to have enough DVC points to use there until and unless they add DVC. So we'd have to do a short add on for a split stay or something.
In the meantime, I'm going to eat there and loiter!

I'll have to look it up, sounds like an interesting movie! And yes, I was alive then!

Well that's a better idea, let him take you on vacation!


I look forward to the links you will be sending me!!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

I remember that movie too!! I was very much alive when it came out, although too young to watch it!

Breakfast at Kona is top on my list for my next trip! It looked so good! And I bet DH and I will order exactly like you two did. I've heard so much about that Tonga Toast that I have to try it for myself.

Can't wait to see your video! You always do such a good job with those. I am going to try my hand at one for our trip too. I've been playing around with Windows Movie Maker for quite a while now, trying to learn how to use it. Is that what you use to make yours? It's not as easy as I would like it to be.

I'm so sad that your TR is ending. I do feel a little bit better though knowing that you have another trip right around the corner. I sure hope you will do a TR for that one too.

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

well crap...that was sad! I hate the end of a TR as much as the end of a trip!!! But, you strung it out long enough that your next trip is right around the corner!!! Way to go!!!!
I am now thinking I can't wait 2 years to go back... I just can't do it.. I thought I could,but the kids asked me yesterday and the look on the younger 2's faces was enough to make me sick. I thought they were gonna either cry or throw up...they both looked like I had punched them in the stomach--all the color had drained right out of their little faces!! PITIFUL!! So,... we will see what we can do! LOL!!
I forgot,..are you doing a ptr, or just some highlights of what y'all wanna hit?

 

[lala3291]

Aw, I'm sad it's over! But, I enjoyed every minute of your TR!
Thank you for sharing your family's adventures...I always enjoy your reports! And the good part about the end of this TR is that you have your next trip to look forward to!

 

[EastYorkDisneyFan]

That would be neat to see each at both WDW and DL. We hope to get out to DL within the next couple of years and experience it all out there!!

unfortunately the one at WDW is the only one currently ruining at the moment. It really needs to go back to Disneyland were it belongs and SpetroMgic needs to return to the MK.

Definitely go to Kona for breakfast next time! And plan lots of time to spend at the Poly.

Yep, I use windows movie maker. I had my laptop about a year before I even realized that I had it. I agree, it's not the easiest to use, but I've made about 5-6 videos now and I am getting the hang of it!

I don't think you are going to be able to last 2 years Shawna!! So you might as well go ahead and get something planned!!

I'll probably do a short PTR before the trip. I'm just not quite ready to get it started yet.

I'm glad you enjoyed it Lauren!

Yep, now we can start to think about the next trip!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Here it is – Our August/September 2011 WDW Vacation Video!!
I hope it loads okay and the music starts when the video does. Depending on what kind of mood Photobucket is in the music sometimes doesn't sync up with the video...

Enjoy –






Up Next: Final Thoughts

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Awesome video!!! I loved it!! Thanks for sharing!!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Thanks Shawna!

 

[Moodyzblu]

Awesome job on the video !! I'm going to have to show this to my Grandson, it's his favorite song and he is dreaming of going to Disney some day. His mom won't let me take him !! She says SHE wants to be the first to take him .. which will be in forever. So all he can do now is watch videos with me.

Hey, your next trip is coming up fast !!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Hey Shelly, Haven't had a chance to read the latest update yet (darn boss....thinks I have to work in order to earn a paycheck ) but wanted to ask if you had been reading about the new free dining codes. Some folks have had luck calling and applying codes to their May vacations and they received free quick service dining. There are two different codes they are trying: K7V for May and Y63 for April, May and June. I'm going to call this afternoon and try my luck. Of course, it probably won't work for me but it won't hurt to call.

 

[mickeystoontown]

The boss is on the phone and I was able to watch the video. Job well done! I especially liked the dancing clips.

Thank you!! DS12 picked the song this time!

I hope you get to take your grandson soon.

Yep, the trip is coming up soon, but not as soon as yours!

Darn boss.



We got 35% off the BC, so that's a better savings than the DDP. We prefer to go without the DDP anyway. But if we were staying at a moderate then free dining would be more cost efficient for us. Let me know what you find out when you call. I called earlier this week to see if I had any codes and I didn't.

Did you get the general public room only discount for May?

Thanks!! We like to dance! Well, DS12 and I like to dance. The others may have had to have been encouraged to do it.

I couldn't remember what the % off deluxe resorts was. Since Hunter is considered an adult, the free dining would save us more than the Spring offer I am currently booked with. I am going to try calling and see if they will let me apply the free dining code(s). I'd love to save the extra almost $300.00.
