Soarin's one of our favorite rides. I can't wait to go on it again. I never thought to take pictures of it. Many of yours came out great.

 

[MeMom]

Memom you are the first person, I think, to ever take pictures of the scenes in Soarin' - they were so fun to see! And thanks for the info on Minicot - I checked the videos out on youtube and they were really neat. The kid who gives the Soarin' spiel is priceless

He did a great job! He didn't laugh or anything, either. I had tried to take Soarin' pictures before, but they never did very well. I was quite pleased with these.

great update and pics.

love Soarin'. it is a great experience, one that I am looking forward to sharing with Biff.

It is my favorite ride of all. You are really truly almost there!

I love Soarin! You're right about first timers! My aunt will be a first timer in December and I can't wait to bring her on this, i already told her about it!

Oh, good! I just get so excited for them, and I hope they are just amazed and like it so much that they're one of the ones who clap at the end.

Thank you for the Soarin' pictures-I haven't seen pictures from it yet. I only went on it once, but I have been dying to go back on it ever since. When I get home from work, I am going to YouTube Minicot (and a whole bunch of other Disney-related things )

Thank heavens for youtube when you need a Disney fix. I think you'll enjoy the minicot thing. Come back and tell us what you think.

Your Soarin pics are great. Almost made me feel like i was on the ride. If only...

If only.... I KNOW!!! But, we'll be ther in November. Maybe all us 'meeters' should meet there and soar together. We could fill one long row. We'll have to check with snowbell.

Thanks for the ride on Soarin'. It was a great way to start the day, while I ,in the real world.

Aaaah, real world....the place you go in between your Disney trips. Do you turn on live365 and listen to park music while you do housework? I do!

I just love the soarin pictures. My favorite part is the ocean with the surfers. I completely feel like I am with them. I will have to check out that video on U tube when I am home tonight. I am blocked at work.

Our school blocks a lot of things, too. We're an elementary school, so I guess it's necessary.

I said something to Swans about our November meet. It would be cool to ride Soarin' together, but I don't know how we'd work that. We'd almost have to all have fastpasses for the same time or wait in what will probably be a very long line. Or get there first thing, which I'm up for, but I don't know about you guys. Nicole and declansdad and pooksma and TCKK's family all rode Pirates together when they met. We need to think of something we could ride that wouldn't take forever to get on. Suggestions?

What fun getting to "ride" soarin' while I'm at work eating lunch! Thanks MeMom. I love that ride and my DH rode it for the first time this trip and he really liked it too.

Cathy

I'm glad he got to ride. Wasn't it fun just to see how he liked it?

Wow Soarin' looks great. I will be riding it for the first time in December. I haven't been since 1996 so I look forward to everything I've missed.

You will L-O-V-E it!!!

YES! that was VERY sweet of her! thanks, pooksma!

loved your soarin pics. i haven't ridden that since may 2007. erica and i will actually be on this ride a week from tomorrow!!!

I tried to call Jill from inside Soarin' so she could ride with us when we went without her, but it didn't work. No signal. I was sad, because I was going to let her ride with us. Please think of me when you're riding that, because it is my absolute favorite!

Cool Soarin' pictures! I have not been able to ride Soarin' yet, so it was a cool preview!

You are gonna love it. It is just breathtaking, and the feel of hang-gliding is so neat. I can't wait to see what you think of it!

Wonderful pictures of Soarin'!! A big thanks for taking all the pics of Pop Century! My mom and I will be there 3 weeks from tomorrow for our 1st visit and switching to Coronado Springs after the first night. I can't wait!

Coronado Springs is beautiful! It's huge, too! I hope you like Pop, our home away from home!

Great updates!
I love Soarin' - we rode it for the first time in July, its so much fun!
I really hope there aren't any pregnancy restrictions on it!!!

No pregnancy restrictions on this ride!!!!

Yay for both of you! We're on for multiple Soarin' rides in November, Jill-o!

Thanks for the Soarin Pictures MeMom!!! I have to admit that I didnt look at then too closely. because I`m going back in October and want it to be new again..if that makes sense! I found the video on youtube...wow...thats great that the Dad did that!!

I understand. You're stronger than I am. I want to look at every picture of everything. I didn't pay attention, and I may have asked already, so forgive the lapse of memory, but are your dates crossing with Jill's?

nny. I think you guys were at the POly for the fireworks. I took this pic fro the concierge lounge and I swear that is you guys down on the right. I love your reports and would have loved to say hi. Oh well.

We sure were, but I can't see your picture well enough to see if it is us. We were leaned up against a tree. Well, I was, for my back. I hope you can get the picture bigger, because that would be cool to see. When did you figure out it was us? After you got home and were looking through pictures? We would have enjoyed a Dis meet.

Nice Soarin' photos. It's such a great attraction. I can't wait to ride it again in just two weeks!!!

Are you meeting up with any of these thousands of Disers who are going in the next few weeks? Everybody but us is going, I think!!!

Trying again for a bigger pic.

OK did not work. But trust me it is you guys. :0)

Somebody tell her what to do make it bigger. I'd love to see it. Too bad we were that close and didn't meet. That's sad. And concierge? How much nicer was that than sitting in the sand?!?!?!? Weren't the fireworks fantastic? We walked as fast as our legs could take us and caught the monorail and made Epcot's, too!

Hurrah!!!

Yes, you should definitely be able to take that baby on its first Soarin' ride!

Soarin's one of our favorite rides. I can't wait to go on it again. I never thought to take pictures of it. Many of yours came out great.

I was very pleased with what I got. In case you haven't been reading long, you'll find out I take pictures of everything. Just ask my Dis friends. They'll confirm that.

 

[VandyFan10]

We will definitely be thinking about you on Soarin'!!

I think I asked this on Dawn's tr, but do you have text and/or picture mail??

I do have your e-mail address also, but I don't have Jill's #

I'm sure you will be hearing from us somewhere, somehow, sometime next weekend

Or you could just come get in my car..........

I tried to call Jill from inside Soarin' so she could ride with us when we went without her, but it didn't work. No signal. I was sad, because I was going to let her ride with us. Please think of me when you're riding that, because it is my absolute favorite!

what service provider do you have? i have AT&T and anna has verizon and i know sometimes i can get a signal when she can't and vice versa. so maybe if erica or i have different service providers than you we can get a signal in there! if so we need to call memom AND jill!

 

[pooksma]

I actually smelled the fir trees from Soarin'.

Mmmmm.

 

[Glendamax]

I just love the soarin pictures. My favorite part is the ocean with the surfers. I completely feel like I am with them.

That's my favorite part too!

 

[kathleen27]

Does that dragon in the water seem familiar?

The little version of the dragon is so cute!

Tu-toe sign da book!

The Epcot character spot photos are great.
Brooklynn looks so excited to meet Pluto.

Thanks for the virtual ride on soarin’.
I’ll have to check out minicot.

 

[daisylove]

Hi there
I am trying once again because I am sure it is you guys. I did not even realize it until I saw the picture of Brooklynn by the tree. We were just there for the 4th - stopping on our way back home from vacation. We did not even go into the parks. :0( But we had the 3 1/2 month old and it was soo hot so that was ok. We were p;lanning to watch from the beach as welll but we were upgraded to the concierge building which was SO COOL. I wish we had known you were there and arranged to meet but I had been without internet for our 18 day trip so no clue. I hope this works. I promise this will be the last try if it does not work until someone can explain it to me.

 

[daisylove]

YEA! it worked.

 

[lmillercrew]

Oh My Gosh! I'm FINALLY caught up!! It took me two days to read your TR and I'm SO glad that I did. I LOVE your pictures and that you take pictures of "silly" stuff because so do I. I'm a big scrapbooker and this summer in Mexico, I took pictures of my son and daughters flip flops by the pool. I know, psycho. I've never seen so many pictures of POP and when I saw that you took a picture of the soda pop machine (couldn't say pop because I didn't want any confusion and showed a Coke Zero sign, I knew that I could now be sure that all my dreams have come true. I don't like Diet Coke. Brooklyn is a doll baby. And, congratulations to Jill and John on their new little one coming next year. I'm getting ready to book my trip for 2009 too! Congrats on booking your trip. I look forward to reading the rest of your TR.

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

Thanks for the Soarin pics, that is my DMom's favorite ride. I love the smell o vision. It's a great feeling to remember a great ride.

Yeah, I'll send you all the information. If I'm teaching, my phone will be off, but talk to me anyway!

You will brighten up my week for sure!

I actually smelled the fir trees from Soarin'.
Mmmmm.

We need scratch 'n sniff computer pictures!

That's my favorite part too!

I forgot to mention that last week Glenda named Jill's newest addition. The name is Glenda, so we'll hope it is a girl, I guess.

Thanks for the virtual ride on soarin’.
I’ll have to check out minicot.

Did you see the minicot? It's hard to believe that two guys did that. Most of the time it's the women who do all the crazy Disney stuff.

Yep, that is us. John's in the red shirt sitting down, Jill is attending to Brooklynn, I guess, and I'm standing up with my purse, um....supervising? That's crazy that you recognized us, and I do wish we had met.

Oh My Gosh! I'm FINALLY caught up!! It took me two days to read your TR and I'm SO glad that I did. I LOVE your pictures and that you take pictures of "silly" stuff because so do I.

Nice to have another photo psycho along. I love taking pictures!

Congratulations on booking. I've got to put our newest booking up for our July/August 2009 trip, too.

Thanks for the Soarin pics, that is my DMom's favorite ride. I love the smell o vision. It's a great feeling to remember a great ride.

We do need the smell-o-vision. That, or go round up an orange and an evergreen car freshener and come back and look at the pictures again. Not as good as being there, and not as good as youtube, but I was pleased with the pictures. Maybe someday our trips will coincide and we can all ride together.

More Epcot.

After the ride, we went over to Sunshine Seasons.

This chicken smelled so good.

Good, good, good.

More food pictures.

We were there for a snack, so this is what we got.

Next, we went to see the Art of Disney store.

I always think Lady and the Tramp stuff is cute.

More shopping. We just walked around different places for a while shopping and looking. I didn't really take many pictures.

I don't remember what the deal was that this is referring to, but it was swell. The mouse head and hand assured me of it.

Cute things I didn't buy.

We would be eating here for the first time on this trip.

This is such a pretty area. So peaceful.

 

[MeMom]

We decided to see the Canada movie, since John hadn't seen it.
And since we our Canadian Dis friends.

You guys have powerfall waterfalls,

and big bears,

and cute villages

up there!

Brooklynn had fallen asleep, so Jill and John got a phone booth picture in the UK.

And I tested the facilities.

Pins I didn't buy.

Continuing on.

 

[Hedy]

Great photos!

 

[micandminforever]

Since I am shopping, but not buying, I will take the first picture you showed in the Art of Disney for my office/guestroom and the pink bowl with Minnie on it to eat my cereal out of each morning.

I do my house work by listening to a Disney CD, depending on what mood I am in, there is nothing like "Whistling While You Work".

 

[TCKK]

More great pics!! We saw the Canada movie too. I loved the new version with Martin Short.

Cathy

 

[Happy Elf]

Great pictures! I love the Art of Disney pictures! It is one of my favorite place to browse...I just wish I could afford a few things from there! Cute picture of John and Jill in the phone booth!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I always love your photos. Glad you enjoyed visiting "Canada".
