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

Happy Easter Memom, Jill and family and all Disers.
Hope you are enjoying your day. Frazer has eaten far too much chocolate and sweets:rotfl:.Well, if you can't do today when can you:thumbsup2
 
Happy Easter!

I hope you have had a great spring break and had some time to relax. I am so glad that mine is finally here!! I came home Friday and collapsed on the couch and even fell asleep for a few minutes.

We leave tomorrow at the crack of dawn to head down to Port Canaveral. Board the ship on Tuesday. So excited!:yay: Have a great week!

Stacy! I'm so excited for your family to be heading out on this cruise! Are Ben and Ellie able to get any sleep at all?
Then it will be not time at all until we are spending some time relaxing at VB together.... Woo Hoo!!!!
 

Happy Easter to the MeMom and Jill clan!!!

Believe it or not but my two are still asleep! I expected Chelsea to be awake at the crack of dawn to see what the Easter Bunny brought.

Charles is already planning what he is going to put on his plate at our Easter lunch.

What a lovely spot to eat your PB and J sandwich. Beach Club is such a pretty resort at any time of year, but I do love its beach-themed Christmas decorations.

Looking at your pictures, I thought, "I really need more pointsettas in my decorating next year."

It was all low-key here. We ate mass quantities of food, and we will eat leftovers tonight. :goodvibes

It was a pretty spot, and it was nice and quiet. I would have enjoyed it more if I had had company to talk with, but I was just on my own doing a photo walk.



Happy Easter to all of you!!!

I love wandering around the Beach Club, it's so nice and relaxing! I wonder what had happened at Stormalong Bay? Definitely unfortunate timing!!

Beach Club and Polynesian are two places I really want to stay at eventually. ::yes::

Happy Easter to your household, too!



Anita, I know you would have. I just did not think of it. Despite spring break I dropped the ball. I cashed a check, put a note saying 30 ones (each kid has ten eggs of a certain color at our house)please and it will be fine. I also waited too long to order disney gift cards through our church! Not my finest planning, but I blame it on First Communion, I spent a lot of my break working on those plans.

In Columbus I was even in the Disney store (we have our local one too), but I am pretty sure they don't sell them anymore.

MeMom, not much candy in ours. Daddy bunny would kill me! Just a bunny and two eggs with candy. Somehow I married a candy hater!

I forgot... you need to try Hurricane Hanna's, it is really a treat to eat there! I think the hamburgers there are the best in WDW! Plus Gelato as a dining plan dessert cannot be beat!

It might be that Brooklynn and I eat there on one of our resort-hopping days. There are several things that appeal to me on that menu.

I was thinking our Disney Store was getting rid of what Disney Dollars they had before they closed, but the cards are nice and handy, too.



I love how Disney pays such close attention to detail that even all the trees on property are decorated differently! When I was there, I only got to see the trees at the parks, but I could not get over how each one was so different from the one at another park.

That carousel is awesome. Again, I am amazed at the details!


I'm nearly done with my internship, which is basically a second job to me, and that means that the practicum class I'm taking hand-in-hand with it is also almost done! I have my math class to get through, and I'm taking summer classes, but the practicum is by far the most work, so I am very happy to have that almost out of the way!

Did you see the character trees at Camp Mickey Minnie in Animal Kingdom? They were cute.

Hang in there. Your time off will come eventually. I know it has been a load to carry.



I believe this is OUR dancing CM. How great she is recognized. And how great she looks!!!!

Dancing CM



HOPPY EASTER EVERYONE

That's her. I need to take her initiative. :thumbsup2



Ah the beautiful Beach Club!! I will be there in 11 days & cannot wait.

I hope you do get to stay there next year. Now that I have stayed there I do not want to stay anywhere else. It really spoils you. I am afraid the boys will love it so much they will not want to stay anywhere else.

The watermelon drink is my favorite also. I cannot imagine they got rid of it. I will check it out soon!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter.

I can easily se how people get spoiled to the nicer resorts. We've loved our stays at the deluxes, but as the norm, money is a huge factor in where we stay. A week at Pop or three nights in a deluxe - there's no question as to what we'll do.

We've got some cousins going (staying off-site) this Wednesday, and we've got some friends going (staying at Wilderness Lodge) next week.
We are hoping to get lots of pictures from all of you. :cool1:

Very nice! I know there is a lot of excitement in your house right now!



We sat in there waiting for the Unmagical Express in Dec. on that couch in the top left of your picture.

That area is so huge and you wouldn't have been taking anyone's seat; you would have been sitting in YOUR seat!

One of the reasons I love some of the resorts more than others is because they have places like this. That way if it's a rainy day, our family can hang out in an open space instead of our room. It's another reason that Jambo's lobby is awesome. (Of course, we never spend any time in these places because Disney offers too many other awesome choices!)

I have an idea of the person, but I hate to be wrong...

That's a pretty room. It would be a nice place to hang out with family and friends and eat and play games. :)

I like all the sitting areas Wilderness Lodge has, too.

I am glad nobody threw me out while I was at Beach Club eating my PBJ! :laughing:

Cute!




Happy Easter Memom, Jill and family and all Disers.
Hope you are enjoying your day. Frazer has eaten far too much chocolate and sweets. Well, if you can't do today when can you.

I can remember eating chocolate bunny ears back in the day. I can't eat straight chocolate like that these days, though. I usually just like little bits of chocolate.



Happy Easter to all my Dis friends!!!

And to you, as well!



Happy Easter Distown!

I think most everyone is having a good day. We have some who are having family trials right now, and that's hard to go through during any holiday, but for the most part, it seems like DIStown is doing pretty well.
 
That's her. I need to take her initiative. :thumbsup2

We all need to dance up and down Main street with her. :thumbsup2






Just read on DVC news ( probably old news now ) but Stormalong, the slide part is closed from April 9-30. More problems with that pool. Something must be up big time or they are struggling to do the fixes a bit at a time.
:scared1:
 
Happy Easter!! :goodvibes

After that, we just waited in the big hallway that runs by the ice cream shop.

We discovered that hallway this year. We went in there to relax for a few minutes one day while I called my dad. There was almost no one in there so it was nice and quiet, plus the air conditioning felt good :thumbsup2

The Beach Club really does look like New England. It reminds me a lot of Cape Cod and some of the beaches in Newport, RI.

HOPPY EASTER EVERYONE

She saw our DD picking up the confetti that the Fairy Godmother throws during the parade and came over and started talking to her. She then pulled a baggy of mirrored Mickey head confetti and told my DD to keep it and remember her fun time at Disney. Barbara is a great person and WDW is lucky to have her as a CM!

I've been lurking around and just want to wish Bella a happy birthday!
 
It wouldn't be so hard for me to lose a few pounds if our DisTown fitness classes could be like this!

CM Barbara for DIStown Zumba teacher or we can call it MAIN STREET DANCE class. :cool1: :dance3:

Wouldn't that be a sight???

Don't have any idea. Maybe the Beach Club experts around here can give us some insight.

I loved that theme as soon as I first saw it. OKW, CBR, Poly, and Beach Club - I like all of those places. I have stayed at none of them, however. :upsidedow

What a sweet story! Sounds like WDW sure got a good one when they hired Barbara. :thumbsup2

Until DIStown comes to be, maybe I should dance around in my room 3-4 times a day to the youtube version of Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It! :woohoo:
 
Good morning from FL! We're in Fort Myers, visiting family. Sitting at the pool now, getting ready to swim. :) Have a great day everyone!!
 
Someday I will stay at the Beach Club! Someday..... :) Hope you guys had a Happy Easter weekend!

Yes as we will be arriving in 10 days I have been following the news on the BC thread about the pool. Half of the pool is closing today & I heard until the 23rd. I am hoping it is not the 30th as we will be there until the 27th. At least part of the pool will still be open & we can use the quiet pools & the Boardwalk pools.
 
The Beach Club is such a beautiful place. We had an ice cream at Beaches and Cream a couple of years ago when we were taking DD to school. Your pictures are gorgeous as usual. Love that Gingerbread Carousel. Wow!!!

We made our reservations Saturday, so I guess it's official now. We're going to be at POP August 27-Sept. 7!!!! :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo: I just had to tell someone!!! :laughing:
 
March 3, 2013 if you and the family are interested MeMom (see the signature for details).

Cool! Do they still have free dining going one?

Yes they do! My DD can't wait for some of this popcorn::
Oh by the way, I'm working my way through your last report. Loving the pics of Seaworld! Sorry I'm so late. But better late than never I guess! ;)

Very nice! it was back to school for us today. 32 more school days, I believe.



Someday I will stay at the Beach Club! Someday..... Hope you guys had a Happy Easter weekend!

I think my someday is coming next March. If it doesn't happen then, it will eventually. :thumbsup2

I would think the quiet pools would be very nice to relax by. :cool2:

You're going to be there at the same time as Amy and her guys. Are you planning to meet up? I can't remember who reads which reports. She has a PTR going, if you haven't seen it yet.

Yay, yay, yay for a new trip! Nice and long, too!

I had a No Way Jose at Beaches and Cream. It was delicious and all too huge! We've talked about getting a Kitchen Sink one of these days. That might be coming this summer if we have a bunch of DISers there.



March 3, 2013 if you and the family are interested MeMom (see the signature for details).

I'll be coming to Disney World a couple of weeks later. We always seem to miss each other. :sad2:



Happy Belated Easter to one of my favorite DIS families

And to you and your girls, as well. We're probably going to be going to Opry Mills on Saturday. Wanna meet us there? I'm not sure what time yet.



Cool! Do they still have free dining going one?

Yes they do! My DD can't wait for some of this
Oh by the way, I'm working my way through your last report. Loving the pics of Seaworld! Sorry I'm so late. But better late than never I guess!

Free dining is so nice, but to get it, I have to skip school for the whole trip, since they don't offer free dining when teachers can normally go. Hooray for you guys that get it, though! :banana:
