It's awesome that you got to go on Everest 3 times! And twice in the front row. I love that ride.

Your pics make me excited to stay at Pop!

I'm jealous that you can go to the World of Disney store whenever you want!

Thats one of my favorite things about this city, the WOD store!! Yes i love EE too, I need to convince David to go on it with me, I think he actually might, I have a feeling! The same feeling I got when we went last time and he conquered Space Mountain!

DTD does have more merchandise but I am so happy we have this store.

Great pics there and update,

no pics of Jack?

The CM messed up my Jack picture because you know how you come out of the friendship room on the top floor and they have the photopass kiosk? Well I was gonna buy it, and the CM was messing with the photos and put borders on them and then when i came home to look at them the originals were gone and only the bordered ones were there!

It is such a bad picture of me too, but here ya go:

Oh nice, I know where that is? You live on Long Island now?

Hi Nicole!

I am soooo excited to see that our trips this year overlap! We'll be at OKW from July 29 to 31, then transfer to the Omni Orlando until the 4th of August! (I have a company sponsored conference there) Make sure you have your LGMH's on your backpack

Btw, I vote for "A". That's an awesome surprise for your brother. I wish my kids will love Disney as much you do, and love each other enough to do a "Sam and Jake only" trip when they grow up.

Awesome!! Which park will you be at on the 4th?? I'll be sure to have David wear a LGMH as well if he'll let me

I had a similar upringing like your kids, and disney was always a presence in my life...sure I took it upon myself at a certain age to become crazy lol but your kids are on the right track! lol

My avatar comes from a display at the WOD store...

I have lived on eastern LI all my life except for the 4 years of college when I lived in RI. We had to take the 6:05 train in every morning to make it to the building by 8am...And I lived about 45 minutes from that train station...but I have since moved about 10 minutes away from the station...

Yeah I was gonna re-do mine since there was no line, but i felt dumb but you should re-do yours if you don't like it!

So now you can visit the WOD any time you want!

So I took MeMom's advice, and decided to try something new, in terms of a value hotel. After speaking with David, we both agreed on All Star Movies! I was getting pretty excited now, that food court looks so cute! And the Toy Story section? Right up our alley! So I would call and book a preferred room and we would be all set! If we didn't like it, (why wouldn't we, seriously?) than we would just know for the future! Yay!






Sold Out.

and now i'm upset! But in a way I sort of like when decisions are out of my hands, and I really liked POP! I can always try an All-Star in the future, right? I would stay at ASMu but David doesn't want to because we'll be at the Hard Rock before it -- and honestly, any hotel by comparison to that hotel looks awful!

I also added some new ADR's including dinner at Chef Mickey's which we have never done before! I changed around the card templates, so i'll have to share soon!

We'll be at MK or Epcot (depending on what we finish touring the days before; then we have a late ADR for Ohana's Character breakfast celebrating Sam's 5th Bday!)

I am so excited, maybe we'll cross paths!

We'll be at Epcot that afternoon after we check in at Pop! We have dinner reservations at Le Cellier! Maybe we will get to see you!

So we're on line for the Magic Kingdom bus and Charlie spots a girl he thinks is cute, well my one sentence explanation of this ordeal was that we kept seeing her over and over that night and he wouldn't stop talking about her. Okay, done, lets go on to the stuff that is more interesting than charlie's lost loves lol.

When we walked on Main Street, there were characters everywhere! I wasn't used to getting to the MK in the middle of the day, so I was surprised. Charlie went "look its mary poppins!" and I went ha ha very funny because he had done that already twice this trip, but she was there for real! So was Burt! I was so ecstatic!! Charlie went to take a picture with jiminy cricket and I took a picture with Mary and Burt!

We couldn't get those Dole Floats fast enough, and yes charlie got 2 because he absolutely loves them! I got one, and than we walked to splash mountain to get fast passes

This was the first time i really saw the true meaning of spring break! you couldn't even walk!

]

We went on a 40 minute (really 30 minute) haunted mansion line!

This day was all about running from ride to ride which I wasn't too happy about it, because now I can't recall most of the details..but I will throw some things in here, plus its just a "mini" tr right? the details are mini and so are the pics!

When we got on Splash Mountain, we sat up front, and charlie spoke with the people in the boat in spanish who were saying they were scared to get wet. They were really nice and gave us 2 FP for SM for later!

After that we waited on a 50 minute BTMR line and by the time we got at the ride I had enough. This queue is boring, and I had this little girl hitting me throughout the entire line! At one point i got so frustrated from the heat and the little girl I yelled at Charlie to switch with me, so he was in back of me, poor charlie had no idea why, but I had enough!

We ate dinner at our tradition, which is Pecos Bills..I had a burger like I usually do, but when I saw Charlie's BBQ sandwich I knew i had to get that next time!

We headed into fanasyland and tried our luck. We got on Philharmagic and Snow White, but the others would have to wait until after EMH, we grabbed 2 FP for Pooh because PP was out, and went to see Wishes.

Charlie went to go grab dole whips for us, and poor charlie had such a struggle to get back to main street through the crowds!

Wishes was magical as always, its charlie's favorite fireworks show...mine is illuminations, but you just can't get enough of Wishes!

coming up: Magic Kingdom EMH? How do we survive? And why am i watching Spectro Magic alone??

Great ptr so I'm joining in.

Our trips will overlap a bit.

I think it's great that you and brother are going.

I love the idea of surprising him with a stay at the BC.

Thanks and welcome! I'll be wearing a LGMH so stop me if you see me!

 

[scottny]

thanks for the fix. I have been dying for Disney for the last 24 hours and that kind of fulfilled it. Now I just need to go and really be there.

I can't wait to be there!! I am jumping out my skin excited for the Beach Club! It a feeling like I cant explain...except to say you probably understand!!

 

[Nicole786]

More ideas for the Beach Club reveal!

2 years ago when I went to disney with my family, it was David's bithday (and my moms) So i surprised them both with baskets from sarah (now betsy) this was such a great idea, they were so excited and it was worth every penny!

i thought maybe i can get david a beach club themed basket and have it somehow play a part in the surprise? but how can I do it? its going to be tough to sneak a basket in the room and hide it somewhere until the day we move! But i would love to present david with a hat or a pin or somehing to help with the surprise! So does anyone know if they sell Beach Club themed merchandise anywhere else besides the beach club? Id love to get him the hat, shown here:

(taken from memoriesbybetsy.com

what do you guys think??

 

[pooksma]

I like that idea and the hat. We had a family basket waiting for us last August and DS thought it was cool. I like having the refillable mugs already there. Maybe you could write a set of clues as part of the reveal.
