There is also talk that if you book a trip for dates up to the end of March you will get a $200 gift card...Really hoping that all this is true
I can't stay the seven days, but I'm hoping this will mean good things for room discounts for shorter stays. We'll see.
We would love 
Brooklynn to join us for dress up days. That's one of the reasons we do Halloweeen, just to add to our dress up box. Its too full now and I can't close the lid! Oh and YES, we have way too much candy. I will give them a week and suddenly it will disappear. 
That pic is just too funny....love the hair too! 
You are sooo pretty Dawn...and look great in every color! 
I have ADR's there for our Feb trip! I can't wait to try it out.....note to self...the meal is huge...save room for that cute dessert!!
And, is it too late to move to Canada????? *ahem*
I have just settled on NOT getting an annual pass for 2009 and then you had to bring this up 
.....now if flights would come down in price it might work.....
The girls always look so cute in the things you make them. Brooklynn would be in heaven playing dress-up with them.
We haven't seen HSM3 yet, but we will for sure get it when it comes out on video.
Babies do smell so sweet, don't they. I love the smell of their soft, sweet little heads after a bath.
I'm going to renew my AP on the March trip, if we get to go, rather than this trip, I think. Money's a little tight right now, and if I renew in March, it'll be good all the way through any holiday trips we might get to take next year.
Dawn looks good in all of her hair styles and colors!
I love this bag! It would make a great school bag! Just a little Disney reminder to get me though the day!
I need it after the day I had!!! One of my kiddos at school fell and busted open his head! Luckily he is ok, but it was still scary and not something I ever want to go though again!
You are very talented! I wish I could sew!
That would be a good school bag. I have one that is dirty and needs to be replaced so I may get some kind of new school bag this trip.
I hate it when a kid gets hurt on my watch, even if it is an accident.
twob4him uses her talents to brighten the lives of those going through hard times, too, so she is admired for her talent and her kindness.
The new promo doesn't make sense for me either, it will still be cheaper to go in late August w/free dinning. Dmom reminded me about the money needed for the roof $$$$. I told her we can just buy a big tarp.
She told me I could do what I wanted but she votes for August. So I am back to my original plans. A great deal for those who already planned to go before June. I could use the $200 gift card for more WDW shopping.
If I let my house go much longer, it won't be good, so I know I have to give up some wants and take care of some needs, but it is going to be hard.
Oh bless you MeMom! You always have the best shopping photos! I should show your pics to my boss so she could see that I need a bigger paycheck! And some more time off!
I love those mugs from Mousegears...I could keep one at work, one at home.....and the bag I could use to take it to work....hehehe. Oh I can't wait to shop in the World! Heaven knows I love to shop (I did it for 5 hours today!), but shopping at Disney = Nirvana!
I'm another Canadian without a fence...but if I did have one, I would want mickey heads on it instead of maple leaves. We have a giant maple in the front, that should be good enough.
I'm planning to get a good hot chocolate mug this time to get me through the winter.
I love the maple leaf fence. I think it is so neat.
The bigger paycheck thing - I hope those pictures might help you plead your case. Maybe if you can get your boss hooked on Disney, she'll understand and give you a whopping (shopping) raise!
Yeah, by the time February rolls around it will probably be pretty long. I keep on wanting to add mostly food things on there.
I can justify it since we do so much walking there!
I, too, would like to try everything at least once. I believe that Stitch took over the Alien Encounter attraction. My mother was very sad when that went away, and I was bummed that I never tried it, so, yeah, trying everything at least once is good!
I'm also going to try to do morning EMH at least once. MK has it on our first full day, and I'm definitely going to attempt it. AK has evening EMH on our arrival day, and we may or may not do that. Even if no one else wants to go with me early in the morning, I'd still love to go alone and just experience it, and Pop, first thing in the morning.
(Your pictures inspired me a great deal)
ETA: twob4him: I LOVE the outfits! You are super talented. My dad's mother and a couple of his sisters make American Girl doll outfits, and I really envy people who can do stuff like that.
I hope all of your EMH plans work out. Magic Kingdom in the early morning is very nice. I think you'll be pleased with the pictures you're able to get.
Awww, Hollie loves Darby! She was just asking us the other day if Darby would be there when we go in February!!!!
Brooklynn says Dahby. They were all very sweet with her. I have never seen any character rush through a greeting, like I hear some people say. I've always thought they've been very kind to the person taking pictures, yet considerate to those waiting in line.
O.K. people. What exactly is the deal Disney is offering??
I saw a pp where someone said that Disney was releasing a deal at 5 p.m. today, but I haven't seen what it is. Please Help me. We are traveling in June and wonder if the "deal" could apply to us.
Great update memom. I want to be Brooklyn. I wish I could take as many trips to Disney as she does.
She's been pretty lucky so far. She knows her way around pretty well with all of her travels.
i needed a break before i started typing closing arguments in the hearing i'm working on and i come check out the disboards to find this nice little update!
wow....moving right along, aren't we?
magic kingdom in the morning....there's nothing like it!
the one on the left is my favorite. CINDERELLAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
luckies.
I'm trying to finish this before we leave, and I've got to get moving!
I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures. I always am happy when I get to have a Disney pick me up while I'm working. Some people's pictures I can see on the school computer - it depends on what kind of albums they use.
i love this picture!!!! i love that donald is in it too, up ahead. he's so fun to walk behind and watch his little tail waddle. i personally think he's WAY cuter than the real ducks. and less scary.
can't wait to see if brooklynn's big enough to ride the barnstormer!
Yeah, I thought that was cute of them holding hands. It's hard to get good pictures while everyone is moving.
You'll see what happens with Brooklynn and the Barnstormer this weekend.
OK this series of pics made me cry....how precious and you can see Brooklynn's personality come out and I can practically hear her talking to them...look how amused Tigger is...
She just thinks of all characters as family.
Memom, Brooklyn is too cute all decked out for the Fourth of July. I love, love, love the picture of her with Pluto -- it looks like it should be part of a Disney World commercial!
It runs from January 4 until June 27 -- stay four nights, get three nights free -- there is a similar deal on the tickets (seven day ticket for the price of a four day ticket -- which is really not a deal). The room discount is awesome. We were originally booked for the Caribbean Beach Resort (sometimes Wilderness Lodge depending on my mood). Now, we are booked at the Beach Club for the same price as Caribbean preferred room rack rate.
Beach Club?
Is that your final answer???
great pics of Brooklynn at Toon town!
Thanks. I'm glad you're enjoying them.
OOh I love the Dealiest Catch and the Northwestern is my favorite. Sig is great. I would have loved to have met him.
Great pics as usual. You capture every little detail, it is wonderful.
Been MIA sorry, moved the board to a new site.
I think I took around 300 pics at POP, sorry, but I will not stay again. too many unruly kids and parents just not caring. The frozen coke was delicious though. On Enchanted we decided they should make it a family suite across at that abandoned part or make it a Pixar themed hotel. I like the Pixar idea. My photo count last month was 1200 for 4 days. Not to bad.
Did you take advantage of the special that came out today. We are trying to figure out dates to go.
Be back soon and will need to catch up again.
Hope all is well.
Sorry Pop wasn't good for you. We've never run into rowdy kids. We're used to be around tons of kids, though, so our versions of rowdy could be very different. I hope the trip overall was very good. I'm sure it was fun to meet many Disers.
I think a lot of people would agree with you on making the other side of Pop have suites. Maybe that will come true someday, and if it does, I'm pretty sure we'll be among the first to stay there.
Was universe of energy something Brooklyn enjoyed? We haven't done it, but my DS likes dinosaurs. I wonder if this will be something he will enjoy.
I'm so glad you can meet Darby. I just asked the kids who they wanted to meet at Disney and DS mentioned Darby.
We spent a good deal of time at Pooh's play area last time we were there. DS was 2 and the play areas were his favorite part.
Brooklynn was not thrilled with Universe of Energy, because it really doesn't do much. I think she may have fallen asleep during it, actually. I'll have to see if Jill remembers.
Good Morning!
Glad you like my use of the word 'proper' -not sure its classed as 'proper' English though! I have a good English accent, I am always told I'm well spoken. I live in Hampshire, on the borders of Surrey, and its probably one of the 'poshest' counties / areas in England - but I'm not sure that's where my accent came from as I grew up in a place we call the 'Fens' and most of the Fen people I know (Mum included!!!) have very bad country accents!!!
I'll definitely let you know about the Christmas Trees as soon as we arrive back, our flight lands at 7am UK time, so I'll be home and online by around 9-10am UK time - perfect for you!
We won't be taking a laptop with us, I'd love too, but would spend far too much time online! If we get to the Grand Floridian I might find their business centre - would be nice to send my hubby a surprise email too!
I only just clicked again today but we overlapped our summer trips. We were there from 30 June to 14 July. I like your July 4th pictures - the pics of Brooklynn were so cute! We were shopping that day and we went to Disney's town 'Celebration' to look at their fireworks - was a great day!
Oh and I love your shopping pics from Mousegears - think I got most of my goodies from there in summer. I didn't get one of those bags though, as I'd already brought two from our shopping mall trips, hubby said no!
but believe me when I say I WILL be purchasing one on this trip!
(I LOVE bags!)
Have a good day & weekend. Our internet seems busted at home so I probably won't get online!
Julie xxx
Yes, I do. I think 'proper' is a cute term.
We were there at the same time. Why didn't we know that? We had a great time watching July 4th fireworks from the Poly beach.
I'll be looking forward to any information anyone has about what decorations are up, especially at the resorts.
********************************************
No pictures this morning, because I'm running short on time. I've got to get my things ready, as I'll be leaving from school today to go to AL. I'm keeping Brooklynn tonight while Jill and John go to a birthday party, and then I'm keeping her tomorrow for a while so that they can go get a couple of her big Christmas presents before they run out of them in the stores. I'll check in throughout today from school, and then I'll have more pictures (the important part of the TR) tomorrow night.
Have a fabulous, fun-filled Friday!
I love how you say she thinks of each character as a member of her family. I hope my future children are just like her! 
the picture of Brooklynn hula hooping is too cute!
