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

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Ok, please tell me what the castle projection show is? Somehow me missed that and I'm not exactly sure what they do. Are the pictures from PP that were taken that day or something else?

We had a similar experience waiting on the boat going to the Poly. IT TOOK FOREVER!!! And we were trying to get to an ADR, so it was stressful. We'll take the monorail next time!

Looked like a really nice evening. Is there anything better than watching Wishes?

Well I'm not exactly sure what it is!! Maybe Sea could tell you more....But yes, it is pics of people from that day I believe, as well as other cool lighting & designs on the castle!

IDK what is up with those boats. People sure love them but I have never seen the advantage. Takes too long and can't hold enough people!!


Nope, not too much better than Wishes.

Hi Shelly,
I loved reading about your MK night! I love Wishes, it's so special. We only got to see Holiday Wishes this trip, but that was just as fantastic! That's too bad about the Poly not having much dessert out when you got back. We were lucky at the GF this trip and everything was replenished, even at 9:50PM when we got back one night.
Sorry I haven't posted much lately...work has been so busy, and on top of Christmas shopping and everything else...we are getting a puppy on Saturday! We are very excited. It is bittersweet, because we all (especially DD20) really miss our dog who passed away in May. As you know, we still have another dog who is one year old, so we are excited for him to have a play mate!

Hey Lauren! I know, everyone is busy busy this time of year! I just told Jodi yesterday I feel like I don't have all that many readers left anymore!!

I liked Holiday Wishes too, but I prefer the regular version.

Congrats on the puppy. Believe me, I know how bittersweet it is. As much as I love our puppy I can't help but to think of why he is here just about everyday. I'm sorry you and your family are still grieving. It's rough.

Thanks!

I think that may have been the first time we actually bought anything in that store. We usually just browse through it on our way out of the park. They have so much stuff in there!

I saved the chocolate post card for quite awhile. Actually it was only a few weeks ago when I finally let the kids dig into it. I took a bite and it wasn't good chocolate. But it sure was cool looking!

I love Main street at night too!
I liked the new castle light show. I had to watch it bymyself though b/c the night we said we were staying- the boys didn't want to. At least I was able to enjoy it without any whining
The candy shop looked yummy. We haven't been in a while we'll have to stop by this trip.
Great pics of the castle- loved the one that the castle was 2 different colors!

My boys are like that too -- never wanting to stay for the night shows... But they know when it comes to Wishes we are staying and they better just zip it and enjoy!!

Glad you enjoyed the castle pics!

This sounds like me !!
Funny, my daughters were always willing to watch the shows and stuff but these boys give me a hard time.

It's funny, they know they can whine and convince me to leave without seeing IllumiNations or Fantasmic, but they know not to mess with me and Wishes!!!

I watched Wishes on YouTube last night and got teary eyed. They just had the basic fireworks last time I was there in 1992, so this will be all new to me. I just can't wait for my little guy to see it!

You are going to love it in person!!!

Count me among the Wishes nerds too! How can you watch it and NOT get teary eyed... that's what I want to know?

Disney fireworks are the best! They mix storytelling and emotion in such a way that tugs on heart, which brings out the inner child in all of us.

Hello fellow Wishes nerd

I know -- the absolute best!!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Heck, I'm in the club too. I listen to the soundtrack to Wishes and get teary!!!

 

[JoBird]

Wishes Nerd too!!!

Shelly-- I lied about not seeing Wishes at all. I somehow forgot that I saw them from afar.
And I think I might have gotten teary eyed then too.

I bought the CD on this trip!! We listened to it about a dozen times on the way to Charlotte and back at Thanksgiving!

DUH!! I guess you did see Wishes (from afar!). Shh, haven't gotten to that part yet.....

 

[204charity]

Yeah - get on it!! We're waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[3sweetpeas]

All this Wishes talk made me get on Youtube and watch it as well as the Christmas Wishes. It was fun! Boy oh boy, I want to be there!

Great pics! My boys are 12 and 14 so it's fun to watch your boys having fun.

I also have to sometimes talk my boys into staying for fireworks. Often, my DD11 and I are watching the fireworks alone while DH and the boys do SM over and ov. er

 

[fromscratchmom]

I'm going to take that as you agree about the Halloween decorations.

Yay!!! I'm not the only one now!





Hope you weren't just talking about the pretty castle picture. LOL!

Haha, yep. The halloween decorations.

I had no time for the dis for several days, or I would have answered you sooner. lol. Silly Christmas takes up so much time. ;p
