Loved, loved your Soarin pics. That was Avery's favorite ride right after BTMR. First time I went I cried through the whole thing-born and raised in Southern Ca, college in Nothern Ca. I am all Ca LOL. It was just like going home. Awesome!
Also really liked Living the Land-have a cool double hidden Mickey pic for my TR.
Great update!
Those are two of my favorites, too - Soarin' and Big Thunder Mountain.
I want to do the Behind the Seeds Tour sometime before they do away with it, like so often happens.
I'll look forward to seeing the Hidden Mickey.
I love Living with the Land. It really is just a great ride and so neat what they do! It always inspires me to grow a garden too but it never happens.
Me, too. I'd love to have a garden full of tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, onions, corn, potatoes, cabbage, cantaloupes, watermelon...I could go on, but since it will never happen, it's pointless.
I have never done Living with the Land. I think it looks like a lot of fun.

We plan on doing the rush to Soarin' in the morning. I hope the kiddos and I don't get trampled or anything.
Just tell everyone to hang on to each others' shirts and keep shuffling!
After you get off Soarin', you should try Living with the Land. It'll be a walk-on, and it is very interesting.
We had a great time....I went with the my neighbor, which is the same group I will be going to Disney with. The girls are 3 1/2 and 5mo. and they were SO good!!! Not that I really thought any different but I hadn't been around Rylee that much since she has gotten older and this was Katelyn's first trip
. They did great in the car....on the beach....at the pool....in the evenings, it was very nice!
Thought about stopping by to say hi to Jill as we passed through N. AL
...but I did wave!
Maybe that's why the food at Disney is SO good!! They use all fresh stuff from the Land 
You should try the topsy turvey tomato plants. We have 2 of those this year and they seem to be doing really well!! I will keep you updated, but they are VERY easy!
That was good practice for the Disney trip, then!
Jill, did you sense Erica waving as she passed through?
I think Garden Grill uses a lot of the Land stuff, from what I have read.
Oh, you'll have to bring me a tomato (if you have one ripe) when you come to the Hippo Meet!
Hmmm that Sunshine Seasons breakfast looks yummy. We've only had lunch there and the food is so much better than the typical theme park fare.
I like Living with the Land too. Its cool to know they actually use some of that stuff in the food at WDW. The only thing my BF and I were confused about was why they had alligators in there?
Sunshine Seasons is a great counter service option! We go there often.
If I do the Behind the Seeds Tour this summer, I'll see what it is they do with the gators.
Great updates, MeMom. CBR looks so nice. I'd love to visit the resort (or better yet, stay there!) some day. So nice that you were able to get a ride over there!
I loved your Soarin' pictures. If I could go to WDW right this minute and ride just one ride, it would be Soarin'. I just love it! I also enjoyed your Living with the Land photos. That ride is one that I wouldn't have thought I'd be all that crazy about, but I really liked it! So relaxing and interesting, too.
I've eaten both lunch and dinner at Sunshine Seasons, but never breakfast. I may have to try that next trip.
Looking forward to your next update!
I'm right there with you on the Soarin' thing. Love it!!!
The breakfast was okay, but about like what you'd get at Pop's food court. In my opinion, lunch/dinner food is better than the breakfast food.
Yummy breakfast plates!
I enjoyed the Living with the Land pics. My DMom loves that ride, she wishes she could copy some of thier ideas.
Vandyfan, glad you had a lovely time at the beach.
There seems to be a lot of wannabe gardeners around here!
That ride can inspire you, that's for sure.
I love the epcot opening its so intimate especially when you're up there! I havent been to it in a while I always seem to miss it, but maybe with my october trip ill make it!
You've gotta get up early, little girl! I guess you're always snoozing away in all of those awesome resorts you stay in!
MeMom--Love all the updates, but you are giving me resort envy--first I wanted to stay at AKL and now CBR, hurry and post some pics of Pop, so I am excited that we are staying there!!

By the way there is a path from Pop Century to CBR, it's really the CM parking lot, but you can cut through, DH runs from Pop to CBR on every vacation and no one has said a word. Walk straight out to the parking lot by the 50's buildings you'll come to an "intersection" with a road that goes down to a tunnel. The tunnel goes under the main entrance of Pop, by the security shack and comes out in the CM parking lot at CBR. When you come out of the tunnel, follow the parking lot around to the left and go around to the front of the CM building and the path to CBR will be straight ahead. The path comes out by Trinidad South. This is about a half mile walk, if you are brave enough to try it out
NEXT MONTH!!!!

I want to stay in every resort eventually. I want to stay in Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Polynesian, Old Key West... All of those are on my list!
I will try to find that path during the daytime with someone else with me. I'd love to walk it! I've read that you could walk over, but that you had to go across a road you weren't really supposed to be on, so I've never sought it out. If it's legal, I want to find it, but I think I would be a little scared to do it alone in the dark hours of the morning. I'm putting it on my ever-growing list of things to do in July.
that breakfast at sunshine seasons looks good! ray and i ate breakfast there back in 2007 and it was yummy.
if you ever do decide to grow a garden my grandpa could give you lessons. he is MR. gardner and does a great job at it! my grandma's vegetable soup is the best i've ever tasted! they have a farm on highway 109 in gallatin and always have such a great garden.
I'm going to head out to 109 and see Grandpa and Grandma! Tell him if he sees a lady with a basket milling around in his garden, it's me!
Me and the girls are headed to MeMom's tomorrow to go to VBS.
See you this afternoon!
MeMom I need a banana tree. I cannot for the life of me find any bananas that are not ripe in the groceries. Three trips, too ripe for us! I bet it would not like the cold of OHIO though!
Jill where are you headed in the fine Buckeye state this week?
Have fun at VBS... Hannah is going this week too!
I'm not sure a banana tree would make it here, either, but I need one. I get the greenest ones I can, and I have to go every other day to keep them stocked. Trent and his friends eat several a day, and I usually eat one about every other day. Drew will chop one up in cereal occasionally, but he doesn't devour them like they do. Drew and his buddies are more likely to eat their weight in potato chips, and those things are expensive! I need a potato chip tree!
Have fun at VBS!
