looking forward to your dismeet...
I have not seen the Christmas shop this year or last...can't wait to go back w/ just Ashton and I , oh! and Danny too! to be able to catch the little things we missed

Connie
Thanks, Connie. I was very proud of my Donald picture. The sandwich wasn't even a full sandwich and it was plenty for both of us. Mark and I were just talking this morning when we got out our Halloween decorations that we missed quite a few little things this trip so we'll have to plan another trip soon.
Just coming over to your TR!
First, Cookie is a cutie!!! We had a black poodle that was about the same size for 18 years. Teashia was a part of the family and it was hard when the time came that she needed to be put to sleep but she had many, many health issues and it had to be done.
Gotta love the site of palm trees! We have been to Florida many times and its still one of my favorite sites. I just want to lounge around them all day.

What awesome surprises in your room! Kinda like Christmas, only better?!?!
Wow! The resort looks amazing!
Love the hat Mark tried on...is he a hat guy? I could never get Jon into a hat. Not even a baseball cap!
Love the drawing. I think that is one of those things we will skip. On top of the kiddos being to young, I am the world worst when it comes to drawing.
Those hats are just too much!
Thanks for joining, Tam. Cookie is a sweetie (she'll be 13 in November). She is a Bichon Frise, but we keep her really short so that we don't have to groom her so much.
Your little ones are probably a little to young for the drawing class, but it is something to keep in mind as they get older.
Mark wears a baseball cap every day. The hat picture thing is just something we started many, many years ago when our kids were little (they are 24 and 22 now), and it's a tradition we do every year.
We love the CSR (obviously since we've stayed 9 times).
All caught up Kathy!!!These double days really cut into my Dis tiem!!

Loved all the updates and the HAT pix !!!!
Where exactly is the UMBRELLA !! I have seen it but can't remember exactly where it is!!!???????
The umbrella is down one of those little "side streets" where you can take a pic of what looks like a "New York skyline".
I'm glad you enjoyed the hat shots...there are MANY more to come.
Kat! Your pic of Donald Duck is fantastic, and I'm not just saying that! I'm totally impressed! In fact you inspire me to think I can do it next time! 
I've always stayed away from there because I can't draw to save my life and didn't want to relive that moment from grade school of feeling inferior all over again.
Although I did make it into the building this time, so that's a good start, I figure by the next trip I'll be ready, especially after seeing your pic.
And for the record....I'm totally with you on the whole stitch thing, I can't stand him. Great reporting by the way. 
Camille, I am a horrible drawer (I barely passed art class in high school) so I was very impressed with my outcome. I'm glad someone agrees with me on Stitch.
Glad you enjoy the reporting; I'm always worried people will be bored out of their minds.
I stand corrected. PIRATES overtake my threads ALL of the time.
I can't believe CSR didn't attach your tickets to your cards...

But glad it was remedied quickly.
We are going to have to find that snowman for a picture in December... hopefully he isn't melted by then.
Oh yea... the umbrella too.
I'm so sorry that those kids were out of control. Even though we had a few kid breakdown in March, I think our kids (Juliana & our friends 2 kids) were pretty well behaved the whole trip. Maybe if the mom was paying a littl emore attention, things might of been different.
I think that both Mark's and your picture's are great! I will not comment on the better pic....
That was a HUGE sandwich from Starring Rolls!
I love the pic of Mark wearing the Mickey candy corn hat!!!
Truly, that is the first time we EVER had an issue with CSR messing something up. But it was easily rectified so no biggie.
The snowman is right outside the Christmas store which is right out one of the side doors of the Muppet store.
Believe me, my kids were NOT angels. But I drew the line when they were disturbing other people. I actually think the grandfather and mother thought it was funny that it was upsetting us.
Tim, that was only a HALF sandwich and it was huge!
The corn hat was one of my favorites of the trip.
Tim, you'll notice that your multiple posts I had to answer you in red.
