Basking in the Glow of the (not so) Creepy Clown -2/11-Pictures, Final Thoughts, PTR!

We are already talking about changing our dates to early March...again! Much re-hashing/schedule switching/calendar looking being done in this household tonight...I'll report back later.

Hey BE!

Your photos just keep on getting better and better every time. (And as good as they were last time, that's saying something.) Your Epcot shots ROCKED! Total, full on, shake what your mammy gave you, ROCKED.

Good job!

Oh and the writing was nifty too!

So glad Henry got his first ride on Soarin and that it was a hit.

I only just found this TR today, so I haven't had a chance to read all the way through yet. But I just had to say that on trip this past July, I stayed in the room 2 doors down from yours at BWV. As I was looking at your photos of the view from the room, I thought, "Hey, that looks a lot like the view I had!" And then I saw the photo of your door, and sure enough, we were in the same hallway.

 

[jenjolt]

Woot woot!! YAY for getting BLT and then on top of that extending your trip.... I can't wait to hear about any changes that might be on the horizon!

 

[MeMom]

Okay, okay, I'll spill!

We are currently booked for March 20-27 at BLT, Lagoon View!

AND

We will be adding on Pop Century for March 17-20! (just gotta wait for payday to put down the deposit!)

That means TEN DAYS in Disney during the Flower & Garden Festival!!!!!!!!!

All you DISers who went during the F&GF had me really itchin' for a trip during this time, I'm so excited!

So, who all is going during that time too?

We hope to be there on the morning of the 13th. Jill will probably have to leave Tuesday night, but I am hoping she can get Wednesday, too.

This reminds me of Ryan and me. He does not like operas or musicals. He's tried, really doesn't like them. I do not like Cracker Barrel (please don't hate me Memom and Jill!!!) So we have a deal worked out in our marriage, trips to musicals and Cracker Barrels need to be in 1:1 ratios. Right now, we are up one Cracker Barrel. I will not go again until I go a musical with him -- Oh and musicals at Disney do not count!
Now you know some of the goofy workings of the Mop family marriage!

We could never hate a Mop! Jill is the biggest Cracker Barrel fan in the bunch. I do like their food, too, but she's the one who likes it best. I think there is not one near her, so she likes it when she comes here and there are two very close.

What musicals have you liked best?

I am going then but you already know that! Looks like the only day we will overlap is the 26th which is when we get there. Are you leaving early on the 27th or later? On the front end of your trip you'll be overlapping my parents and sister by a day. LOL!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Ten days at Disney plus a lagoon view at BLT for part of it sounds lovely!!!

 

[dekkerdisneydreamer]

March Trip!!! I have always wanted to go in a non-holiday season, Flower & Garden is one of my hope to trips. BLT Lagoon view, YUMMY! Much picture taking will be done!

Question, and just tell me if I'm being impertinent. Did you sell your DVC? For some reason, I thought you and Joe were talking about doing that, and since you stayed at BWV and up next is BLT, just wanted to make sure I've got my facts straight. You can, of course tell me it's none of my business......

 

[All7OfUs]

Ok, color me green. I am so excited for you to get to go a split stay in POP AND BLT!!

You are going to LOVE F&G- hands down a VERY fun thing to do! So many little extras for kids just Henry's age!

 

[Tinker_Tam]

YAAAAA for another trip!!! That sounds like a great time to go. For me it would be getting out of the snow too that would be great that time of year!

 

[that's nice]

That is SO great! I have wanted to see that - but never have. I wonder if Joe would even be interested....:scrtachin

I found a great code to get the tickets for 1/2 off. Then ticketmaster adds all their fees and it is not as good as a deal. But I still saved about $125 though. I got $75 tickets for $37.50... add all the fees and the total was $150. It still isn't horrible.

By then hopefully the new Disney store in Times Square will be open too. And there is always 5th Ave with FAO and the American Girl store (if she's into that). You guys will have a WONDERFUL time I'm sure. If you have time and don't mind me crashing your family outing , I'd be more than happy to trek into the City to meet up with you for lunch or to play around in Toys R Us or something! But if you want to keep it just family - I totally understand, you guys are close, we'll meet up someday!

That is a possibility.

Are they moving the Disney store or just remodeling it? I hope we have time to check out FAO since we missed out on it last year when we went to the Princess & the Frog premiere.

Okay, okay, I'll spill!

OK here is something funny. Our friends who we went with in March are considering going 3-19 to 3-27 and asked us if we want to go. So now we are throwing around this idea.....

Woo hoo for March! A split Pop and BLT trip sounds very cool!


We're going to miss each other by 4 days! 4 days! DD and I are there March 9th - 13th!

 

[glennbo123]

Wow! for another trip!

 

[John's Mom]

Just joining in!

Need to catch up.

[eandesmom]

10 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that sounds fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if you move dates it's a great great 1st plan. I know how that schedule juggle goes. for flower and garden!

 

[blessedby3]

Yay for another trip and to BLT no less!! This is our favorite resort since staying there this past May
You will just love it! We also had a bay lake view, dead center of the building, 12th or 14th floor (I cant remember for sure).
Here is a preview of you early morning view of the sunrise-you will get to see this when you are up at the literal crack of dawn for rope drop
We saw it everyday (much to the dismay of some of my kiddos)

Here is a shot of my unwilling participants!! I had to drag them out of bed, but everyone agreed later in the day that rope drop is the way to go-they just dont see that when the sun is rising!

We were also chosen as family of the day and had full access to the CR club level lounge for our whole trip I am hoping to get a trip report started soon!!

 

[loritemp]

I just booked my first official DVC trip!! March 6-10 at BWV, preferred view. So if you do happen to change your dates, let us know!! But geesh, BLT Lagoon view is unreal, hard to pass up!!

 

[claryche]

A March trip.

But I am so jealous. I'm trying to convince my DH that we need to go on our planned trip in November and book again for Feb or March, since my DS starts kindergarten in the fall. Gotta get the trips in before we have to go by his schedule. Don't know if it is going to work, because I also want to go next October during my DS's fall break.

We went during March 15-21, two years ago for mine and my DS's birthdays. I was worried that it would be too hot and too crowded and was pleasantly surprised. Of course there were more people than in November. But we still accomplished alot and had a great time. We actually stayed at Pop that trip. We liked it.

Woohoo for a March trip (no matter what the dates end up being)! I remember when the Flower & Garden Festival went through the last weekend of May. Now, we miss it by just a week.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Ok, I'm super late to the party but I'm here, finally. I'm glad we're still on day 1. Yay!! Thank you for the super handy links to get caught up quickly Brook. What an AMAZING first/travel day you all had. Cannot wait to read more!
