Good Luck on your Race... I"m excited to see your Photopass pictures (i've been debating about getting it this trip)...
Congrats on the booking!!!
Thanks! You should get it, but pre-order it. You will save some money that way.
That's awesome! You will love the cruise, we do. It's a different Disney experience but we love it! We are going July 24, 2011-I will be celebrating my 40th bday on the Dream.

OMG, we love the cruise! We went on the Wonder back in 2005 and it was amazing!! I cannot wait to get to
Castaway Cay. Honestly, the prices are not that bad. AHH, I just really cannot wait.
You are going to have a blast for your birthday!!
That's great news! 
I haven't experienced any of that. If I'm still in Florida at that point, we'll have to meet up. 
Oh, that would be nice. You have to do a cruise!!
Hi Lynn! I just got back from Disney Thursday evening so I've been catching up on all my subscriptions this afternoon/evening! I love all of your pictures so far & can't wait to see your Photopass pics too! We didn't see as many characters as I would have liked, but we did see all of the main ones & some "surprise" ones that I've never seen at Disney before. I can definitely agree with you on the crowd level increase! Our dates were June 8-17th and let me tell you, it was packed! I read the sign at Cosmic Rays at MK & it said capacity was 1162...there were waaaay more than 1162 people jammed in there, trust me!
I am so excited for you!!! Concierge & the Disney Dream & AKV...how exciting!!! A
Disney cruise is definitely in my plans within the next few years. In the meantime, I can't wait to read your cruise PTR! Your pictures are always amazing! Ironically, I just watched the DVC webcast at 10:30am this morning & they showed the AKV multiple times throughout the presentation! We stayed at AKL last year, but AKVs just look amazing!
That is great that you had such short wait times for the rides & characters! Your first day at Disney sounded amazing, I can't wait to read more!!!
I know exactly what dress you are talking about at DHS. I saw that too! I loved that entire "street" of DHS because all of the stores had really nice shirts, dresses, jewelry, accessories, etc. My favorite stores were all at Hollywood Studios.
Good luck with your race tomorrow, can't wait to hear about it & more about your trip!
OOOH!! Sounds like you guys had a great time, though, considering the crowds. That stinks about not getting to meet most of the characters. I guess the first week of June would be the best time to go if you are going to go in the summer. I am really looking forward to going back in May. May is my ultimate favorite time to go, lol.
OOH, I have to watch that, lol! Glad you saw the dress! I agree, they do have really nice stores in DHS!
Thank you so much! It went well. I should be able to do a quick update tonight after I watch True Blood.
Sounds like an amazing dream vacation!!! We are pricing out a cruise for May 15th (or around then). I am dying to get on the Dream!
I don't think the prices were too bad, but I forget too often that it is just Tim and I without children, yet. I hope you guys go!!
Sounds amazing!!!
We are planning to be in the world from May 12-26 - it is definitely our favourite time of year to go!
YAY for May! lol. It really is the best time to go.
Sounds like a dream vacation. Congrats.
Glad you really enjoyed TS3. It looks like its going to be a great movie.
Thanks! It was good. We are seeing it again in like an hr, lol. Tim did not see it yet.
Yay!!! Congrats!!! I'm sure you will love concierge. At least, it's good to try it once, I think. I want to do it one day.
By the way, I wanted to ask you, did you see any Captain EO merchandise during your last trip?
I cannot wait! Hmm, I did not notice any.
Hey Lynn, I took my 2 youngest boys to see TS3 and we absolutely loved it. We are planning to go see it again with hubby. Good Luck on the race tomorrow. Your dream vacation sounds amazing, we would love to do the cruise but I guess we'll wait to see what you think about it.
OH, I love
Disney Cruise Line!! They are the best, seriously!
Glad you loved the movie!! Thanks! It went well.
Sounds like an amazing vacation!! We've never cruised or stayed concierge, but all of the TR's that I've read that have done either or both have really enjoyed them!! The snacks offered as part of the concierge always look so yummy!!
ETA: We're going to Universal/IOA in August-- I'll let you know how WWoHP is!!
I have been researching concierge and I cannot wait to do the Sunrise Safari! It sounds amazing.
OOOH, please let me know. I cannot wait to have a butterbeer haha!
We did concierge for a night in November 2009. It's really a nice treat. The food selection and drinks are really good. They have this amazing Juice available all day...its similar to the Juice they serve at Kona Cafe. They also have soda and bottled water all day, and alcohol available at night. The conceirge staff is so nice and helpful too.
We had a studio with a pool view. We liked it so much we are booked in a studio for one night this October...waitlisted for another night. If the waitlist doesn't come through we have a Studio Sanannah view booked already.
On our next trip we are moving alot. We have 3 nights at the Beach Club in a studio. Then doing the Disney Wonder for a 4 night Bahamas Cruise. Back to Bay Lake Tower for 7 nights, then onto Jambo House Concierge and Jambo House Savannah view. We have a car so it isn't a big deal and I love trying different resorts.
Best wishes for a great / safe race!
OMG!!! I LOVE that juice!!!! That is good to know about the view. I don't know if we have pool view or savannah view. I will be happy with either or.
Sounds like an amazing trip you have planned!! Good for you!
Thanks! It went well.
Your May 2011 trip is going to be so much fun!!!
I seriously cannot wait. It is so sick, but I am planning it already. I need help, lol.
lynn!! i'm here!! love your updates girl!! man, the animation academy better be all decked out in ts3 when i go...that would basically be paradise!! i'm obsessed! i can't believe you hit up 3 parks and got so much done on your first day. i'm going to have to go during may/early june one year...you are making me a believer!! can't wait for more!!
and yay for ts3! I've already seen it twice and am probably going to go again. has tim seen it yet? how'd he like it? i just thought it was all so perfect.
Hi my Kimmy! It will be, don't you worry. You should go then because it really is a great time to go.
LOL, you know this already, but we are seeing it again. I will let you know what Tim thinks. We are seeing it with my mom and dad.
That does sound like a Dream vacation! We have talked about doing a land and sea vacation soon too, but are nervous about motion sickness. The Dream looks nice though. I'll be sure to join in on your PTR to hear all about that!
Oh and we just took our little girl yesterday to see TS3. Loved it! And I was psyched she made it through the whole movie, even holding onto her little Jessie doll through the last half!
Just take a dramamine. Tim took it and he was fine. Coming back to Port Canaveral is always a little rough, but it's not horrible. The boat was a rocking, though. haha.
Oh, how stinking cute! Isn't it the best movie, ever? lol
That sounds like a fabulous vacation! You'll be doing two things I've been dying to do -- stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge (DBF thinks it is too far away from everything) and the Disney Dream (DBF isn't much into cruises!). Maybe I'll use your TR to lure him in! haha! You must be so excited though. Have you done a cruise before?
We stayed club level at the Poly in May. The convenience of it is great. I loved knowing we would have a place to eat breakfast without having to worry about crazy crowds. It was nice to be able to grab drinks and stuff there too! I hope you enjoy it!
It is not far away at all. Tell him he is crazy, lol. I have never had a problem with the bus service from there.
Yeah, we did the Disney Wonder back in 05 and loved it! I cannot wait to get back to Castaway Cay! It is gorgeous and I love the BBQ they have. It's so good. The Dream just looks incredible. Oh, and it makes a stop to Nassau, but we are going to stay on the ship. There will be so much to do on it. We were not impressed with Nassau, but we were with Atlantis. That was where we went when we got off the ship.
OOH, the POLY! I love it there.
Holy moley lady, you update so fast! It's definitely a good thing, I'm just slow and had to catch up on most of day one all at once
Too much to comment on but I just love your TRs and can't wait for more
I am sooo anxious to see TS3! Definitely this week!
Congrats on the Dream vacation! I'm in the process of convincing Chris we need to buy APs while we're there in July so we have a whole 15 months to go back. That will probably remain a "dream" for me
HAHA, I know. I have not updated in a couple of days... maybe I will spread my updates out a little bit, haha.
Yeah, you have to see it soon!
Thanks!! Oh, you should get them! haha, you crack me up.
So cute! The bowing in China pic is hysterical!
and the rooms are so cool!! I had a veranda in my stateroom but I think I would be just fine with the porthole....save some money and they are cute!!
