[katiebug86]

But Memom I want to see the picture of the icecream cone table noooow. (Said in the voice of Veruca Salt from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory)

This is what happens when you open MK with me and MeMom.

Yep. Brooklynn was so tired she fell asleep mid french fry and was snoring.

That is too cute!

I'm back, i finally finished reading Baby and the Tramp and now im catching up here. I'm on pg 7 post 105. It'll take me some time but time well spent. And now like everyone else i too know how it feels to miss Disney.

I swear by Melatonin too! My mom gave it to me last year when my DH was bitten by a shark to help me sleep and it worked. Just kept my mind from "thinking" all night. I'm going to have to take my famdamnly to Beaches n' Cream for the Kitchen Sink. I think my 15 yr old DS could finish that off.

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Okay, I'm 100% sold on Beaches and Cream!

Let's do it in November!

 

[DisneyJoo2008]

I'm sold too!!! How far is the walk from Epcot to Beaches & Cream? I wonder when is a good time to go so its not too busy... maybe after our morning at Downtown Disney we can go then? hmmmm, might be better...

I keep meaning to ask you MeMom (& Jill of course!) when is your new addition due??? I am due 25 April 09 - I think I am a bit behind Jill.

We have a scan (do you call them ultrasounds?) on Tuesday to check our little bean is ok. If you don't mind, I might share the little picture with you!

Can't wait for more updates!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mid April. She is going to the doctor this morning, so I'm sure she'll have some information to share a little later today.

Congratulations on your new little one, too! Maybe someday the two little ones will have the chance to meet. (Along with all the big people that go with them! )

Tell John I thought B&C was small too.

I won't have to tell him. He sneaks and reads the trip report at work sometimes. Like all the boys, they pretend not to care so much, but they really enjoy Disney stuff.

Great update Memom. We talked about going to Beaches and Cream but never made it this trip. When DH sees your pictures, I pretty sure it'll be part of our next trip!!

Good morning MeMom!!

Great update! We are actually debating on if we are going to beaches and cream when we go! It looks yummy!!!!

 

[cjhinch]

Great update! I love all your pictures....yours turn out way more artistic than mine! LOL

How do you get them uploaded into photobucket so large? Do you have to upload them all individually? I wasn't happy with the size of mine after they uploaded.....yours look great!

I love that you are taking a trip just you and Brooklyn....that will be so much fun!!

 

[hollyluvsdisney]

OK, I am finally caught up on your TR! I have been spending nearly all of my computer time obsessively checking out weather updates for our trip, so I haven't been on disboards as much as usual. (The good news is I am probably now qualified to be a meteorologist. )

But I am all caught up now. I loved all of your Epcot pictures. The ones of Brooklynn and Belle were just precious! What a sweet Belle. It's so nice when characters really take the time to interact with kids.

Your Beaches and Cream update was great, too. I'd really like to eat there someday. My DH would definitely like the No Way Jose. He loves chocolate and peanut butter... in fact, chocolate cake with peanut butter filling was one of the flavors of our wedding cake! It looks like you guys had a fun time there.

Looking forward to more updates.

 

[k_reile]

ok now I am hungry for a good cheesburger. So much for packing my lunch today. Hope I do not get hooked on a cheeseburger as long as I did at subway the last time when you posted your earl of sandwich pictures. I had subway 3 times in one week. Course subway is a little better for you than a cheeseburger and you can get different variations too. Pregnancy cravings...I only have 3 more weeks to blame my cravings on the pregnancy.

 

[carrieannie]

Great pictures! I loved the umbrella pictures! I think they came out great!
I`m hungry now from looking at the food pics! yum!!

 

[Happy Elf]

Great Beaches and Cream pictures...makes me want a great big bowl of ice cream! I enjoyed the pool and umbrella pictures!

 

[k_reile]

ok you'll be happy to know that I did not give in to my cravings...but I am holding out for a better burger somewhere else. DH can take me out tommorow night....we only have three weeks left for that also...

 

[MeMom]

great update and pics.
got my mouth watering looking at the no way Jose.
I love dthat place.
That was the table we sat at when we went.

Must be reserved for Disers huh?

loved the pictures of the ice cream shop!!!

Thanks. It was very quaint and cute.

Fun update!!! My wheels are turning now as to whether Beaches and Cream would be a good place to eat before hitting the road Sunday afternoon...hmmm...
I think your artistic shots of the umbrellas turned out fabulous!!!
I showed Charles the pic of Jill, John, and Brooklyn and told him that we would hopefully be meeting them in October!!!

I bet Dawn and Erica are currently enjoying a nighttime spectacular of some sort! Lucky ducks!

Jill is looking forward to the meet, also.

I'm sure the wild girls had a great night last night. I haven't checked in to see how the weather is treating them. I hope they can go to MNSSHP tomorrow night.

I'll take a Frozen Sunshine for $4.99 MeMom, okay I'll have the Kitchen sink instead. That thing is huge. Cute restaurant though. I liked the pics of the umbrellas.
I House Hunters!!! I usually PVR it. (our version of TIVO)
I'm glad my DS will eventually find me worthy again in the future. My mom says its payback for my teenage years. He told me tonight that I could just give him $500 to stay home. I just laughed, I liked your idea of more shopping money.
Nighty night, sleep tight.

Or even better, if he doesn't want to go, he can pay you to let him stay home. That's even more shopping money!

We may try a Kitchen Sink if we meet some other Disers in November. That would be a fun picture!

But Memom I want to see the picture of the icecream cone table noooow. (Said in the voice of Veruca Salt from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory)

Patience, my dear. Or is it patients? That's one of the sets of words I teach my third graders so that they will know which one is which in future writing. Ice cream cone table is coming up, but did you happen to notice the oce cream cone lights in the other pictures?

That is too cute!

I'm back, i finally finished reading Baby and the Tramp and now im catching up here. I'm on pg 7 post 105. It'll take me some time but time well spent. And now like everyone else i too know how it feels to miss Disney.

I'm glad you've found a job that suits you up there. I'm sure you do miss Disney. You may miss it even more when you are in the middle of a cold northern winter pretty soon.

I swear by Melatonin too! My mom gave it to me last year when my DH was bitten by a shark to help me sleep and it worked. Just kept my mind from "thinking" all night. I'm going to have to take my famdamnly to Beaches n' Cream for the Kitchen Sink. I think my 15 yr old DS could finish that off.

That's what I do. As soon as I open my eyes, I start thinking of things. Pressing things or nothing things. I can't just get up, go to the bathroom, and go straight back to sleep like many (probably most) people can.

Okay, I'm 100% sold on Beaches and Cream!

Let's do it in November!

We could get a Kitchen Sink and all dig in. The only drawback to meeting there would be if they closed Epcot due to crowds while we were out there stuffing our faces and then we couldn't get back in. We'll have to talk it over with everyone.

I'm sold too!!! How far is the walk from Epcot to Beaches & Cream?

I failed to answer this part earlier:

Just out the back gate and a short walk to Beach Club. Not far at all - just down the sidewalk.

Please do share your baby with us!

Jill called and said the doctor reported she is carrying a healthy little peanut, so that's good to know. She's already told her it's a boy. We'll see if her prediction is right. Disney World thinks it's a boy, too, because on our summer reservation, when I put down who would be in the second room, I said Jill and John and Brooklyn and an infant who was yet to arrive. On the confirmation, they have it listed as Mr. Unknown Infant. So, between Disney and the doctor, maybe they know something we don't. I ordered up two girls first and then a boy, but Mother Nature may have a different order!

Great update Memom. We talked about going to Beaches and Cream but never made it this trip. When DH sees your pictures, I pretty sure it'll be part of our next trip!!

Cathy

You're already making your To Do List for your next trip. Very good!

Good morning MeMom!!

Great update! We are actually debating on if we are going to beaches and cream when we go! It looks yummy!!!!

The No Way Jose was good, if you like peanut butter and chocolate, which I do!

Great update! I love all your pictures....yours turn out way more artistic than mine! LOL

How do you get them uploaded into photobucket so large? Do you have to upload them all individually? I wasn't happy with the size of mine after they uploaded.....yours look great!

I love that you are taking a trip just you and Brooklyn....that will be so much fun!!

I just do it the way Jill first taught me how. I don't know anything about sizing or resizing.

Anything that is said about Disney World now, Brooklyn says, "I go Dizzy Wuld MeMom." She doesn't comprehend that she has a family only trip and an all-family plus others trip coming before the MeMom trip. We probably shouldn't have told her anything. She's smart, and when she gets something stuck in her brain, it's there for good.



And now, I present to you


the table.

Umbrellas being used as decor inside Beach Club.

A nice bathroom.

Cape May Cafe.

We have an ADR for Cape May on the Sunday of our Thanksgiving trip, before we get on the road to head back home.

And that's it for Beach Club and Beaches and Cream.

Congrats to Jill!

I hope your weather is good. How many Disney trips a year does a meteorologists salary allow?

The chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting at Sunshine Seasons was really good, in case you've never tried it there. Just for future reference.

Pregnancy cravings...I only have 3 more weeks to blame my cravings on the pregnancy.

We'll be excited to see this new little guy!

Great pictures! I loved the umbrella pictures! I think they came out great!
I`m hungry now from looking at the food pics! yum!!

Thanks. For some reason, I just liked the umbrellas. That is such a nice pool area.

Great Beaches and Cream pictures...makes me want a great big bowl of ice cream! I enjoyed the pool and umbrella pictures!

I'm always up for a big bowl of ice cream. That is why I don't look like the skinny guy running around with the ice cream cone we saw earlier. I don't just carry it around. I actually eat it!

ok you'll be happy to know that I did not give in to my cravings...but I am holding out for a better burger somewhere else. DH can take me out tommorow night....we only have three weeks left for that also...

Enjoy your burger tomorrow night. I'm going down to keep Brooklynn tomorrow night while Jill and John are at some church activities. I'm not sure what I'll be eating, but I know I'll be enjoying the person I'm eating it with!

 

[MeMom]

Congrats to Jill!

I'm sure she will appreciate all the well wishes she can get. She is a good mommy to Brooklynn, and she will be a good mommy to this little brother or sister, too. I am so blessed to be able to see her have children of her own and realize in full how much I have always loved her.

Now, what do you think? Is it going to be a princess or a pirate ???

 

[scottny]

such a cute table.
