July 27-August 1 we'll be at Bay Lake Towers. We'll also be adding on a night or two at the beginning, probably at Poly (the # of nights depends on whether we fly or drive) but not sure yet... it's our anniversary trip, so we're going to splurge a bit before our DVC stay kicks in.

That will be fun!

Thanks for those great pictures of SAB. I can't wait to enjoy it during our May trip.

I was 2 updates behind. Love your F&G pictures. They are really beautiful. We also enjoy Off Kliter. It's the one of the few show I get my DH to sit down and actually enjoy instead of rushing around. I'm glad you got to enjoy your sweet and Wishes. I Love Wishes!

Looking forward to more updates and pictures.

You're welcome! I keep trying to get moved to BCV for our June trip (in addition to the two waitlists we have for that week, LOL) but no luck yet.

 

[michellem1118]

The PhotoPass pics will be coming tomorrow. I've spent the last several hours trying to get them all uploaded to photobucket, but I'm having issues. Hoping to get the rest uploaded before bed tonight, and then organized in photobucket right after work tomorrow so I can get started on the updates. LOTS and LOTS of pictures coming soon, I promise.

I'm a couple of updates behind as well!

I voted for Wilderness Lodge. I know the Poly is the favorite, but there's just something about WL... I think its so cozy and very romantic!

The topiaries are awesome! I especially love the ones that use natural elements to look like hair (Lady, the seven dwarves, etc.) The horticulturists are so creative!

The next several posts will be me catching you up through PhotoPass pics! So sit back & enjoy!

Chapter 2.1 - PhotoPass pictures from our arrival day

Arriving in Epcot through the International Gateway, we stopped on our way to search for dinner:

After dinner, we walked around a bit, and then stopped again for a PhotoPass photographer... the first photographer couldn't get his camera to focus on us because of our dark shirts, but the second photographer had no issues. I think it turned out pretty well:

It was a short night, so that's it on photos. Chapter 3.1 will have LOTS more.

Chapter 3.1 - PhotoPass Pics

Our first photos upon arrival to MK were with Daisy Duck!

Then we stopped for the obligatory castle shots:

And a "special" shot:

Closer to the castle:

We then headed to Mickey's ToonTown Fair to meet the Big Cheese himself:

After a few hours at the MK, we grabbed some Dole Whips and went in search of PhotoPass photographers:

Up next: our Epcot afternoon & first DIS meet

Great pics, girl! I wish we were in the background of one of them!

You are right, his sweatshirt does stand out!

Chapter 4.1 - PhotoPass pics

We took the monorail to Epcot, and used the main entrance for the only time this trip.

We headed next to the Character Spot:

Then we headed towards the World Showcase to meet up with wigd and shocker. Along the way, we stopped for these:

After meeting up with our new friends, we of course had to stop for more photos:

(DH, me, jewjubean, wigd, and shocker)

and as we left through the IG, while drinking our Grey Goose Slushies:

Up next: DHS

Chapter 6.1 - PhotoPass Pictures

Upon arrival at DHS, we did the Toy Story Dash, so we didn't stop for PhotoPass pics upon arrival at the park. Instead, we stopped for the first pictures on our way to Tower of Terror:

This one is one of my favorites:

We also got a picture with Eeyore. I can't believe I didn't tell this story before. When we got in the character line, it was Tigger & Eeyore - probably my two favorite Disney characters ever. We waited 15 or so minutes, and then it was time for the family in front of us to greet the characters. Well, the dad told the little boy to "go get Tigger" and the kid ran as fast as he could to "hug" Tigger... and ended up hitting the poor character hard, just below the waist, with his head! Tigger fell to the ground, obviously in pain. He tried to recover, but nearly collapsed again, and had to be helped away by a handler. The dad then made a joke about assassinating Tigger. When it was our turn, DH quipped to Eeyore, "Don't worry, I won't headbutt you!" Eeyore turned to DH & gave him a . It was pretty funny. I sure hope that Tigger was OK, though!

Then, some photos on our way out of the park:

Up next: more Epcot
