After a very long absence I am finally all caught up on your report! And it looks like just in time for the next trip! haha
Once again we just missed eachother. I was in Epcot for NYE!!! haha
I'm sure one day we'll finally bump into each other.
Looking forward to reading the conclusion of this trip!
Three weeks away from the next trip!
You should have come over to the Poly beach! You could have joined in the singing and dancing and glow ring tossing.
Disney squirrels are kind of like the little guys in the Boston Commons. They will come right up to you and take food out of your hand, or act like little dogs and observe you eating, and come take anything that falls to the ground.
Nice job getting a picture of the temple without anyone in front! That's my mom's favorite part of WS.
Disney squirrels grow up seeing tons of people every day, so they don't develop that fear. Because they get so close, I worry a little about kids trying to pick them up - for the sake of the kids and the squirrels.
I remember you saying that your mom liked that place. I'd like to delve into the story behind that artwork.
Love that stuff in the Art of
Disney store. We always go in the one at HS but don't think we've ever been in the one at DTD. Will have to go in there this trip! We have 18 days until we leave for Vero...goodness I need it. The never ending school year still has 10 days to go and, as a bonus, they have moved a student in my room for these last two weeks that has some severe emotional/behavioral issues.

I'll be really ready by the end!
Sorry about the bus issue. We dealt with that when we stayed at Beach Club as we had flown that trip. Worst bus service we've ever had in all our stays.
I bought some earrings and a bracelet from that bead place. I don't think Ellie or I have ever worn either thing but I was moved by the story and felt like it was a great cause. I should try to find them and give them to someone who will wear them!!
Have a fantastic weekend! Hopefully your workshops will be fun this week and something you can actually use next year!
Sorry about your new student. Having a kid like that makes for long days.
Until I was writing about the bus issue, I had forgotten that we that other long wait trying to leave Beach Club one time.
Tomorrow's workshop is about Core Curriculum, and the other two are on SIOP, which is the new buzz phrase for this year. I'll let you know what it means later this week.
I love pretty bracelets and necklaces, but I can't wear anything on my neck or arms any more. I feel locked up.

I have looked at those several times just for looking purposes, but I don't know why it has never hit me to buy some earrings! (Is there a hit yourself in the head smiley?) I am putting those high on my souvenir list for this trip.
I have a couple of necklaces from the bead place. I liked the story and the fact that I would be wearing a true piece of Disney...
Maybe you should get them out and WEAR them!!!
MeMom, the pics of the girls with Snow White are beyond fabulous!
Were you just dying of excitement when it all occurred?
I am totally getting some earrings this time! I think the necklaces and bracelets are so pretty and colorful, and none of the items are very expensive.
Just another day with a Disney Princess. No big deal.
I absolutely love the expression on Bella's face as she is raising her Duffy-on-a-stick "flag"!

That is too precious! The pictures of the girls with the characters are wonderful! Very sweet!
She's a mess! Put whatever you want on a stick and it will be raised in all its glory!
I loved seeing all the World Showcase pictures! It's such a beautiful place.
Bella is so cute with her Duffy 'flag' and the Snow White pictures are just precious!
She's a silly one!
Did you notice that the girls had given Snow White a red flower? That was their new thing - finding a flower on the ground to give to the characters.
