I've enjoyed your families trip report so far! I just started reading it the other day & just got to the above post. Where did you get the Mister fans with clips? We have regular fans but would love to get a couple of these. The size is perfect!
I also have to say that I love your themed meals. These are soo fun!
Welcome to the report! I hope you will continue to enjoy these past trips and the few that are yet to come. We enjoy sharing them.
Those were just
Walmart finds. I think we only opened a couple of them, though. We used one for Brooklynn a few times. The grownups weren't so keen on them, but that's okay. I was just trying to help keep everyone cool.
SwansLoveDisney has a new pre-trip report going for Thanksgiving. Everybody go and read that. We will arrange to meet sometime that week and take a group picture. Wouldn't that be cool?
Welcome also,
TCKK - I hope you'll enjoy the craziness around here.
declansdad and pooksma are going in August, too! Maybe you guys will see each other. They will be the ones holding hands going at a slower pace and seeing shows and such without their bundle of energy with them. You'll clearly recognize them!
pooksma will also look like the one who is real smart, since she'll have her higher degree and all. (I think we need to have a celebration party on the boards in two weeks when you finish up. Cheers to you for all the hard work you've put into that this year. Now, could you do mine for me?!?! I don't have time to do it, but I need to.)
I agree,
scottny,
Swans has got to see Lion King! The costumes and music are great. Some lead performers have better, stronger voices than others, though. It was on one of our holiday trips, but I don't remember which, that we had a group where two of the lead singers were absolutely out of this world strong and beautiful in their solos.
punkin413 - I know. I wish I could just stand and watch the gorillas longer, and the tigers, too. But, you always feel like you should get a few pictures and then move out of the way so others can see. Darn those other guests!
Yeah, you would enjoy getting in some alone shopping time. I know it's hard to enjoy it when the guys are hurrying you out, or being patient, yet really not being patient. You know, a little sighing, a little swaying, etc. They tell you to take your time, but they don't really mean it. They're trying to be sweet, though. Drew, however, can stand in a fishing aisle and look at all manner of fishing poles, string, wormy looking things, blood stuff that attracts fish, reels...and I'll be the one squirming. So, I do understand. Shopping alone sounds like a good deal.
Now, shouldn't you be going to turn up a Mickey head or something??? You are in the twenties, right?!?!
Lovemy3babes - I forgot to say I love your screen name. I love my three babes, too! They're big ole' grown babes, but they're still my babies.
I'm glad you like the shopping pictures. I enjoy coming back home and remembering all the cool things that are there to buy. Also, I am better off taking pictures of the stuff than buying it all!
We have friends who stayed in the Music suites, and it worked very well for them.
BrittBritt - Brooklynn was so cute when she saw Donald. She just grinned and pointed and snarled up her nose while we were in line, and then when she walked up to him, she turned straight back around. She really loves seeing the characters and has not been afraid of any of them. She actually does better with masked characters than she does with face characters. She's a little more unsure of them, since they're 'real people strangers'.
Okay, when we left off, we were leaving here
to go here.
We wanted to get our room number and put our stuff away, then go out for the evening.
We picked up a little snack..
Okay, okay. We picked up
several little snacks. We were so happy to be there, the power of choice just eluded us, and we got it all!!!
Then it was off to the room. Here's the walk.
Past these pups.
Past the lockers.
Right in front of the Mighty Ducks pool, which I failed to take a picture of at that moment. There will be some later.
Into the room. Welcome home!!!
Take pictures quickly, before you bring all the junk in!
Yes, that's MeMom in the mirror, for all of you who love to point those things out. But the real question is, is that Zack or Cody on the TV? That's also MeMom's ever-present water bottle on the dresser.
The person in that picture is our friend, who looks somewhat alien-like in that picture. I guess it's the way she was moving, but that's a very not good picture. But it's funny, and she'll never see it, so I'll post it!
Brooklynn stylin'!
Okay, so I think I'm all done, and I'm checking for errors (and I ''prolly din't'' get them all
) and I see
carrieannie's post. So now I gotta go back and give her a shout out! Hey
carrieannie! Not much of an update, but at least we're in the room now! You know how I am. I'll be squeezing in the last days of this trip when we're about to leave again in June.
Brookie, you are just so precious and I love your gorgeous Easter Dress. I hope you found lots of eggs!
So I am going to wait and retire, then go lots!!!! And if grandbabies come along....all the more better!
(yes I know that is improper English!)
I have read these entire 82 pages over the course of three days. What excellent details and stories you are telling. And what a beautiful family you all have! I hope you don't mind a straggler jumping in. 
this time since we're staying at SSR i think i'm gonna walk over to DTD a couple of those mornings i'm letting him sleep in to have some "me" shopping time. 
Then the boards better watch out!!!
Happy Sunday!
