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

[vamassey1]

Neither the picture-taking nor the water-drinking will be a problem. I do a lot of both of those.

I would imagine a few trips to the restroom will be involved too.

 

[Poolrat]

I know your time is coming soon.

I will be there July1-

Have a safe trip and I can't wait to meet up with everyone!!!!

 

[dancin_princess]

I hope you all have a magical trip!!

 

[MHTeacher]

Are you excited yet?

 

[Valgoof]

I have been reading your trip reports for a long time but haven't posted. I was wondering if you could throw a coin in the fountain for us. We have been trying to give our 3 year old daughter a sibling and haven't had any luck. Thank you and I can't wait to read your next trip report.

I may not have Memom's special luck, but we are staying at WL in December and I will throw in a few coins for you. As long as it doesnt backfire on me.

Living with the land is another favorite. It is one of the few orginal rides of EPCOT. I miss the CM on the boat. They could answer questions, and add information not in the script.

All caught up again!

The official Animal Kingdom mug for DISers.

I got that mug for myself in March. I love it! I don't drink coffee very often; only when I'm really tired. But during final exam week I drank two cups out of that mug one afternoon to get through a 9 page paper

The diving tube freaks me out too Last year my mom wanted to watch so I just waited for her in the gift shop.

I can't believe you're leaving this weekend! Make sure you send me some pictures, especially on July 2nd, because that's the day my summer class starts

We're having a major heat wave up here. It's currently 93 degrees, but with the humidity it feels like 100 It went from 65 to 90 over night. Since it hasn't been hot at all until yesterday, we don't have our bedroom air condtioners in yet. Just the one in the family room. I'm not planning on leaving this room today

 

[Jillybeaner21]

another great report!! And I loved the pictures from the October trip! Brooklyn and her "long neck" were just too precious.

So excited for you guys that you're so close to the trip! I know you're gonna have an amazing time and of course we'll all be waiting for the next trip report!!

[MeMom]

I was gone for a week... and now I'm far, far behind. I will have plenty of time to catch up while you are gone. And, at least I got back in time to say goodbye! HAVE A FABULOUS TIME!! Can't wait to get updates from Pop now that they have wifi! Relax & enjoy yourself with your wonderful family.

As much rain as it looks like there will be, I may be doing a lot of catching up on the DIS, too. I definitely have plans to relax.

Have a great trip! I love reading your reports.

Jill in CO

It makes us feel good that you enjoy them.

Did you see that? There were more than one nine pound lemons! I know over on Rinky's TR I asked if we thought it was the same one all the time. Now we know, they do change them out and/or add! I was so worried about them sitting there getting moldy!

Oh, I know it will be great, but I still want to wish you a magical trip filled with pixie dust!

The nine pound lemons seem to be real, unlike the ostrich eggs on the safari.

Thanks for the pixie dust. We will need it for a safe flight there on Saturday, for sure!

I always love Living with the Land pictures. Definitely one of my favorite rides; it's soooo nice and relaxing!

I cannot believe you are leaving so soon! Yay! I am very excited for another report.

I will try to take a bazillion pictures.

Oh, I love Living With The Land! It is like the TTA of EPCOT, mostly for relaxing, but there's still lots to see while on the ride. I especially love the Hidden Mickeys OH and the Nine Pound Lemon, of course

Wow, this week is really going by fast, now you are only three days away from your trip too! Again, I will be the awkward day early goodbye post haha

Can't wait to read some last updates from the trip you are reporting now!

Those last October pictures will come from Pop Century, for sure. I just did not have time this week.

Thank you!!!!! I probably am going too quickly towards the gift shop!

Awww I love Living with the Land! One of my favorite rides!

HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL AND MAGICAL TRIP!!!!!!

Well, now you know where to find the Turtle Man.

Thanks for the good wishes.

I have been reading your trip reports for a long time but haven't posted. I was wondering if you could throw a coin in the fountain for us. We have been trying to give our 3 year old daughter a sibling and haven't had any luck. Thank you and I can't wait to read your next trip report.

Absolutely! We will throw several with your name on them.

Have a great vacation!!! Enjoy your time with that precious family

I will do both of those things.

I would imagine a few trips to the restroom will be involved too.

That's okay. Jill is pregnant and we have little girls. We'll be making plenty of potty stops.

I know your time is coming soon.

I will be there July1-

Have a safe trip and I can't wait to meet up with everyone!!!!

See you there!

I hope you all have a magical trip!!

Will do. Hope to see your dad at some point.

Are you excited yet?

Too tired and too much to do to be excited right now. I will be excited when I am actually on my way to Alabama!

I may not have Memom's special luck, but we are staying at WL in December and I will throw in a few coins for you. As long as it doesnt backfire on me.

Thank you!

We'll have faith that the magic works in June.

Valgoof, you are so kind to cover the magic requests this winter.
Did you say you wanted us to throw some for you, too?

Living with the land is another favorite. It is one of the few orginal rides of EPCOT. I miss the CM on the boat. They could answer questions, and add information not in the script.

I agree. I liked the personal aspect.

Stay cool! I will certainly repay the kindness you gave me several months ago. I very much enjoyed getting your pictures throughout my school days.

So excited for you guys that you're so close to the trip! I know you're gonna have an amazing time and of course we'll all be waiting for the next trip report!!

We will see what friends she returns home with this time.

I hope the weather forecast clears up a little. There's nothing we can do about it, though, so we'll work around the rain as best we can.

 

[Megablocks]

You are SO close! I'm so excited for you guys; I can't wait for Jill's Facebook updates!

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

YAY! I caught up- 16 pages!!!! and you are signing off tomorrow!!!

let's see -

The picture of Bella hugging Tigger should be a print ad for Disney. Seriously, you need to send it in. I may even look up the process so you can!

I love your reports and our little street in Distown! I can't imagine anyone who "knows" you (I too am one of those who says, My friend Caren...I can't really say Memom since then people really think I am nuts...) would ever think that you do this for any other reason than your LOVE of Disney and your LOVE for sharing the magic!

I was glad that you saw the video of the Casey Jr. Water Area (or whatever the official name is--that's going to take me time to learn.) Your grand-girls are going to love that spot! I can't wait to see Dumbo too!

Thanks for the aquarium pics. I told DH we are going to have to spend a bit of time in there. We haven't since our first trip- four years ago. (Turtle Talk traumatized my six year olds. Crush spoke to the one and she came back to us crying. Crush tried the other, and she too ran back to us. Then, he talked to dh, who was crying tears of excitement inside! )

I didn't know they refurbed Tom Sawyer's Island. We've never made it over there, and I planned on seeing it this trip. We also are excited to do Behind the Seeds!

Have a safe trip (I know it will be fun, so no use in saying have a great time!)

Jill, enjoy the food and the memories with the two...next time, you'll have three!

If you find a money tree and get to extend your stay, please let me know where you're staying. We arrive on July 8!

 

[uncw89]

Safe travels!!! have a great trip!!! Can't wait to see and hear about it!!
Are you at Pop the whole trip?

 

[Megablocks]

We're having a major heat wave up here. It's currently 93 degrees, but with the humidity it feels like 100 It went from 65 to 90 over night.

MeMom, I meant to say that, too. It is hot, hot, hot here! It was 85 with high humidity at 8:30 AM today. I left work a little after nine PM, and even at that time, stepping outside was awful, because you were just hit with this humidity. I've never been to Disney in the summer, but I feel like we're having Disney weather right now!

Yeah, Disney World in the summer can be brutal. That's why standing in hot lines has to be avoided when possible. It's going to be cooler in Florida next week than in Tennessee, but the rain factor in FL is high and TN is getting pretty much no rain.

Feel free to enter Bella's picture, if you want, or let Jill know how. It would be cool to see her little mug on a Disney ad.

I read that they refurbished Fort Langhorn on TSI, so if we can, I want to take the girls over there. There have been rumors of TSI being changed to something else someday, so we want to be sure to have much photographic evidence of its existence for if/when that happens.

I hope the girls will give Crush another chance. He's a pretty cool dude.

Safe travels!!! have a great trip!!! Can't wait to see and hear about it!!
Are you at Pop the whole trip?

Yes ma'am, Pop the whole trip.


Last day of camp. Breakfast will be sausage balls, eggs with ham and cheese, biscuits, and French toast sticks as the main choices, and we have fruit, Pop-tarts, and cereal every morning, as well. I plan to get as much done to get the kitchen cleared out and organized right after breakfast. We are ordering pizza for lunch, and then we're having a potluck dinner. All of my food is cooked and in aluminum trays that will just be put in the oven to be reheated, so after breakfast, the kitchen is closed as far as new cooking. We'll have a wonderful time of food and fellowship tonight, give the kids their awards, and show a fun camp video with all the pictures from this week. Another year of memories will be in the book, and hopefully the kids will treasure their camp days in the years ahead. Then I will swing by the house to pick up my suitcases and head on out. Hope you all have a great Friday!

Hi MeMom!

Just wanted to let you know I hope you have another awesome, magic-filled Disney trip! I am leaving for NYC right now so I don't have a lot of time to write, but I just wanted to leave a little note
