love the b&w photo.

Mega update! Woo Hoo! Great nighttime shots. Ya know I hated out photopass pics too taken by the tree and under the lights. I thought they were horrible. Yours are way better than ours. We were completely washed out. The one of you guys by the white decoration turned out really good!

Nice gangsta shots too.

Dawn, So much to say, lets see if I can remember it all. Great news about the trip, so cool! So sorry about your arm I agree, proud to be an American yesterday, what a cool day .
As for the TR, what an INCREDIBLE installment. Everytime I read one of these I am more and more convinced that I HAVE to experience Disney in December soon, what amazing pics and video. Loved the pics of Luke, that kid cracks me up. The mask photo's were halarious and the one with him and the puppets were priceless. You guys look like you had an amazing time together. Can't wait for more, thanks as always for a great and entertaining report.

[LISAMWDW]

Huge update! Great photos! You all look like your having so much fun! Luke's faces just crack me up!

I love Epcot at night SIGH Great pics!

I hope your arm is feeling better today. Yikes, that had to have been scary!

I agree, yesterday was a very emotional day for me. I was glued to CNN on my computer at work most of the day. It feels good to be an american today!

BTW, you look like you have lost some more weight!? You go girl!

It's such a treat to get so many good pictures!

I think if I could invent something, I would invent a way to jump into our pictures and videos whenever we just needed a little Disney fix and be there again.

At the end of a work day, it would be so nice to jump into a World Showcase picture and watch Illuminations before bed time. I would love to end the school day by watching a parade in Magic Kingdom or splashing down or rumbling 'round a mountain. I'd take a quick stroll under the Osborne Lights after dinner or enjoy the music of Beauty and the Beast. Or maybe walk the trails of Animal Kingdom early in the morning. If I could walk those trails every day, I wouldn't have any problem being motivated to move!

When I see such awesome pictures, I can just feel like we are there, and I want to jump into the screen and be there for real.

If anybody ever invents an instant transporter, I'm going to be at the front of the line to get one!

What are we going to do with you not going for two years???

 

[DisneyLaura]

Dawn - I'm all caught up with your TR. Sorry about your arm, that sounds really painful. Yeah on the NYC trip, I just went in October, just for the day and can't wait to go back and do more things. My DH and I went for our anniversary. We had a great time, next time we want to stay overnight so we can see Time Square at night. Love the Epcot pictures are night. I'm getting more and more excited about our trip reading yours. We will be going when the Christmas things are up too so I'm taking noted on what to do. I agree Germany preztels are NOT the same as American preztels

 

[tinkgurl]

Oh wow, this was a great update! And my favorite pic? The black and white one of you and Ray!

P.S. You are the best gangster I know.

 

[Megablocks]

Okay, I'm caught up again. I'm sorry about your arm--I don't handle stuff like that very well, either. I am an early childhood major and planning on working with 1-2 year olds so I'm hoping that the extent of their injuries will be skinned knees and elbows, at least when they are with me. And your house with the wiring?! What the heck were they thinking?! I'm glad that it was caught when it was.

I love WS at night, and your pictures with all the lights were gorgeous! I'm really hoping to go around the holidays sometime because all the pictures and videos that I've seen are amazing.

I love all the Photopass pictures too; Luke cracks me up.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

along with the germany pretzels the brats with kraut there are awesome i will get one next trip for sure

 

[DisneyJo]

Dawn great photos, I love all the photopass ones with the lights, so pretty. I saw CP during my trip and you're right Luke is far too young to sit through it, I thought it was nice but I doubt a 5 y/o would want to sit still that long I can't wait to see all the Christmas world showcase stuff next trip, I didn't get to see any of it last month and I know my girls will love it!

 

[mansionterror]

Great nighttime shots of Epcot. Colby loves those puppets too. We saw the Candlelight proc on our Thanksgiving trip (from afar). John O'hurley was the speaker. The lines for it were massive!

 

[troobabiee7]

Great pictures! I love Epcot at night, it's always so gorgeous but it's even prettier all decorated for the holidays!

 

[KristinAnne]

Everything looks so pretty! It sounds like you had a great day! Looking forward to seeing how your night ends. I'm glad your arm is feeling a bit better.

 

[winkers]

Beautifull picutes Dawn!!
I love the one of you and Ray infront of the "ball".
Luke with the nutcracker was hilarious!

 

[heatherlizz602]

Dawn... Awesome pictures and video. Definitely made me want to be there. Luke is a crackup LOL. I love the colors in yours and Ray's photopass picture. I can't wait to go to the world. I've got two years to go!!! As long as school doesn't suck all of my money out of me!!?!

 

[Camster0307]

Hey Dawn - I can't believe I missed so many pages!

First, and most importantly, - how's your arm? I hope it's ok!

How wonderful that you're getting a trip to NYC - THE greatest city in the world! I miss it so much - miss the pizza, the shopping, the bagels, the street vendors! OMG - you will have a blast. I'll throw out one recommendation for dinner - Patsy's. It's an italien restaurant up on 58th, I think, between 7th and 8th. Anyway, it may be a little out of the way but sooooo good!

Loved your pix at Epcot. Germany is beautiful at night! And I love your shots in front of the archway and those white light trees. So festsive!

And, yes - yesterday was a very historic and wonderful day. Here's to a new and brighter future!

And, on a side note to MeMom: loved the idea of that invention of yours! Get working on it, will ya?

 

[BrooklynnsMommy]

Hey Dawn! Now that I finally have access to the internet everyday I can keep up with everyone's report. Brooklynn and I have spent the afternoon reading the whole thing. She really enjoyed your videos. She said that was her Epcot and she lives there everyday. I think MeMom and I have officially warped her.

 

[Spartangirl]

GREAT update and pics!!! Isn't Epcot gorgeous at night? And with the holiday lights it just makes it so magical! Oh my gosh...the gangster pictures..... Love it! Can't wait for your next update!
