All I Want For Christmas Is an Okapi, a Dinosaur, a Herd of Elephants and ...

[Charleston Princess]

Yeah, that diver's tube is a bit much for me, too.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

How neat that you can get a certificate sent to you! I love that you can email home your Spaceship Earth pictures.

The Mine, Mine, Mine stuff is so funny! I really like that gift shop too.

Do you generally usually get a reusable mug MeMom? We haven't ever but I thought about picking one up on this coming trip.

 

[DWGal210]

Yeah, that diver's tube is a bit much for me, too.

Me too!! I'm not all that claustrophobic but yikes!! No thanks!!

It sounds like your campers are very well-fed! Yum - what good offerings!!

I need to explore the Seas area more. We'll add that to our October itinerary.

 

[marDgreen88]

Yep, the mugs are the Sports ones. (I'm using mine at this very moment, which confirms it. Hahaha.) I wonder if they're still doing that.

Gotta love the Seas!

 

[Megablocks]

I really need to explore the seas more at Epcot. We love Epcot, but we never seem to get around to spending too much time over there.

My mom got a "mine, mine, mine" mug and loves it! She uses it all the time.

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

I am getting all caught up!!! Whew, I am away one week and one trip ends and another begins---love it!!!

So glad you and Brooklyn had such a good time. Love all your pictures and Fall at the MK. So pretty!!!

Yay, you are getting so close. So excited for you.

 

[TCKK]

I know it's for kids but I love "Turtle Talk"! I haven't ever spent much time in that gift shop, but I can guarantee you I will this time. Looking for a Dory and possibly a Crush!

Have fun at camp this week Memom. My youngest DD is going this week also and will be home on Friday. DH and I will be empty nesters for the next few days!

 

[micandminforever]

I love Turtle Talk with Crush.

 

[vamassey1]

Turtle Talks rocks! How many more days until you see it again?

And the shopping? Can't wait to see more new sea creature gifts.

 

[IheartDDuck]

I'm so jealous of those mug colors! I was so hopeful there would be more colors when we went, but just the same three we keep getting over and over again.

 

[PlutosRHM55]

Oohhhh... Turtle Talk, it looks like such a cool attraction! I feel so angry with myself that over two trips and spending majority of an EMH in the Seas I never got to see it. And I love the Gift Shop there too, such adorable merchandise

And yes, those mugs are the new ones with the chip implanted. Just read about those on another TR actually lol

Can't wait to read more!

 

[MeMom]

I love that gift shop also. I have the Mine Mine Mine mug & I use it all the time!!

You have pretty green & pink lids for those mugs.

I don't have a Mine, Mine, Mine anything. I need to find something I need and get it.

Those cups came from All Star Sports, say our friends. I thought that might be the case. The colors we have seen from Pop are blue, pink, yellow, and black. I will report back about the current colors on Saturday. My friend's grandkids were pictured with a black on a coupl of days ago.

Yeah, that diver's tube is a bit much for me, too.

Makes me choke to think about it.

How neat that you can get a certificate sent to you! I love that you can email home your Spaceship Earth pictures.

The Mine, Mine, Mine stuff is so funny! I really like that gift shop too.

Do you generally usually get a reusable mug MeMom? We haven't ever but I thought about picking one up on this coming trip.

We do treat ourselves to mugs. I pretty much only drink water at home, but on vacation, it's just a treat I give myself to get fountain drinks whenever I want them.

I would love to have all those books in that gift shop for my classroom!

Me too!! I'm not all that claustrophobic but yikes!! No thanks!!

It sounds like your campers are very well-fed! Yum - what good offerings!!

I need to explore the Seas area more. We'll add that to our October itinerary.

So imagine what it does to someone who is claustrophobic!!!

Yep, the mugs are the Sports ones. (I'm using mine at this very moment, which confirms it. Hahaha.) I wonder if they're still doing that.

Gotta love the Seas!

Drinking from Disney mugs does bring happiness.

I really need to explore the seas more at Epcot. We love Epcot, but we never seem to get around to spending too much time over there.

My mom got a "mine, mine, mine" mug and loves it! She uses it all the time.

We almost always spend time exploring. The girls really enjoy seeing the dolphins, especially. I would love for Disney to expand its aquatic animal area.

I am getting all caught up!!! Whew, I am away one week and one trip ends and another begins---love it!!!

So glad you and Brooklyn had such a good time. Love all your pictures and Fall at the MK. So pretty!!!

Yay, you are getting so close. So excited for you.

We did have a good time. I look forward to spending some special time with her again soon.

I don't have much time to think Disney thoughts this week, so it will be Friday in just a minute!

I know it's for kids but I love "Turtle Talk"! I haven't ever spent much time in that gift shop, but I can guarantee you I will this time. Looking for a Dory and possibly a Crush!

Have fun at camp this week Memom. My youngest DD is going this week also and will be home on Friday. DH and I will be empty nesters for the next few days!

Brooklynn would be proud of you for bringing some new friends home.

I know your daughter is having fun. Camp times are special times.

I love Turtle Talk with Crush.

Crush is a cool dude.

Turtle Talks rocks! How many more days until you see it again?

And the shopping? Can't wait to see more new sea creature gifts.

We leave Saturday, so four waiting days and then we leave the next morning.

I'm so jealous of those mug colors! I was so hopeful there would be more colors when we went, but just the same three we keep getting over and over again.

We have had the same colors over and over, as well.

Oohhhh... Turtle Talk, it looks like such a cool attraction! I feel so angry with myself that over two trips and spending majority of an EMH in the Seas I never got to see it. And I love the Gift Shop there too, such adorable merchandise

And yes, those mugs are the new ones with the chip implanted. Just read about those on another TR actually lol

Can't wait to read more!

You will have to make a point to see it. You can get a certificate if you do well on your quiz!

That chip program has been discontinued, from what I have heard. I am sure they are evaluating their data at this very moment and deciding whether they should implement it all over WDW or not.



My apologies to everyone for not being able to check in on your reports this week. I am barely able to check in here, and as soon as camp is over, we'll be off to Disney World. I hate that I am missing so much of your fun on your reports, but since Pop has free wi-fi now, I should be able to check in here and there throughout the trip. That will be nice tp do without having to try to get everything in within a paid-for 24 hours.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Ok, I will admit it. We have never ever been able to FIND Turtle Talk! And this is not for a lack of trying!!!! Seriously, where in The Seas is it? I'd love to check it out someday, even though it'll just be us without kids! It looks so cute!

The Seas gift shop really is the best, isn't it? I love it!

I'm not sure where those fun mugs came from either! Poly only had the standard pink, blue, and black too.

 

[DisMomAmy]

All caught up again!

I'm sad to see your Christmas/New Year's report come to an end but you surprised me with the bonus October report. I'm really enjoying seeing all of the fall decorations & merchandise. It gets me excited for my October girls trip.

As others have said, I hope you continue writing trip reports. I love watching the girls grow up Disney!

I hope you have a great time on your trip!!!

 

[Megablocks]

I also meant to say, I'm definitely not claustrophobic, either, but that tank is a little much for me.

I was wondering if your church camp was this week. I hope it's going well! And yayyyy for just FOUR days! I am also very excited to hear that Pop now has free wifi!

 

[DWGal210]

Four days - woo hoo!!!

I was Facebooking with Jill & she said you're leaving in the evening of October 13th. Sadie & I will be there the night of the 12th so hopefully we can meet up!

 

[shannon47142]

This week you are going back--whoo hoo

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I hope camp is going well! Pretty soon you will be in the Happiest Place on Earth!

 

[PlutosRHM55]

Oh my gosh! Only four days until you go back! I'll have to give you a premature goodbye on Thursday since I will not be home on the 23rd (NYC!!!), but I'm sure you will have a great time anyway

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Probably because I'd just read some of the Nemo section of this TR, but we just watched Finding Nemo this weekend. We decided that we all liked the Mine Mine Mine so much, we NEEDED to get something with that on it next trip! So we'll be exploring that shop too!

I hope you're having a good week at camp. Makes me wish I'd gone to camp as a kid, but I didn't. Hoping my kids find something like that we can send them to.

We've got lovely pink and yellow mugs - I use one just about every day - I bring coffee/tea or soda to work with me in it and it makes me smile! Of course, having a little Mickey sitting under my monitor doesn't hurt either! He's from a Happy Meal from years ago - wearing a little tuxedo jacket!
