Hey MeMom back home. Check in more later (maybe a short trip report).
It was more crowded than expected and weather was breezy and warm.

Great WS pics MeMom! I love the phone booth pic!!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Ohhhh, now I remember the thumbs up photo on Soarin'!

 

[MeMom]

So you can walk through the World Showcase befoe it opens at 11:00?

You can only walk so far. On the Mexico side, you can go as far as Norway, because Akershus is open for breakfast. On the Canada side, you can't go over the bridge. So, you can see a little bit of a few countries before it all opens.

just coming by to let you guys know about my new pre-TR. i know it's over a year away but i don't think i can deal with not having a TR going. hope you both can make it over there.

and any of memom/brooklynnsmommy's readers are welcome to join in!

i'm not memom but i saw your post at the top of the page and figured i'd save her some time. yes, you can. you just can't go in any of the shops or restaurants until they open at 11:00.

I'm in. I posted WL pictures, but it looks like I need to go back and post VWL pictures. I do have some of those, too.

Eeeek! She has real Chucky dolls?! lkajsdlkjfalkjd! The thought alone sends a shiver down my spine.

about the accents. You'll be making fun of ours! I used to have a good friend from Oklahoma and sometimes he would just **** his head slightly to the side and get a slight grin on his face. I would finally stop talking and ask "What?!" He would always tell me he just liked to listen to me talk, it sounded like I was singing! Much like the Sweedish Chef. "A dur dur dur dur! Makin' chicken, bork, bork, bork!" So we can fully just laugh at each other, and with each other.


I am glad I am not alone in the creepy doll aisle!!!

That is a great deal on the horseback riding! I will have to keep that in mind for when Henry is a bit older.

Love the giant LGMH idea. Perfect! I haven't a clue what time we will get there, perhaps around 9:00 or so? I haven't gotten that detailed with my planning yet....



Love it!!! Great idea! I might have to copy that idea with my in-laws. Bella and Brooklynn just crack me up- Brooklynn looks like "GET ME OUTTA HERE!" and Bella is saying "Crazy people!" Drew just stands there all cool like.

I'm excited that your Extravaganza has started!!

Were you writing ugl words on our report???

Yes, real Chucky dolls. Other than those dolls, Heather is a pretty normal gal, but those dolls...

We'l laugh with and at each other, and that'll be fine. With an 8:15 Kona ADR, you'll probably beat us to the beach. We should be there within a few minutes after you. I would say we'd gobble down our food, but that steak is worthy of savoring every bite!

Early morning ride on Soarin! Love it! The picture of your gang in the phone booth is too funny! Can't wait to see the pictures from Cape May!

My favorite ride with my favorite people to start the day!

Cape May is coming up shortly.

not true mike and I made it to rope drop on my 24 b-day so anything is posible

Rope drops are worth getting up for; at least we think so.

Oooh pics from Soarin'! I wish that it went over WDW instead of Disneyland though!

Love that pic of everyone cramming into the phone booth! You guys are such a fun bunch.

Fun, maybe. Some may call us 'special', with a look of pity on their faces as they say it.

Were you wanting Trent and Jarvis to get on out of there, too???

Thanks for the suggestions! I could go with just the girls to CC and send DH to go but I kind of wanted to go all together and get some family shots with the fab.
Last trip we had 2 meals there in one day. I was thinking counter service for DHS. This is mainly a just-get-in-as-many-attractions-and see the x-mas decorations trip before our passes expire. So, it really isn't an eating trip. I was thinking ABC because we will be having lunch at Toy Story the next day. I can't wait to see the Osborne lights either.
What a great way to start out a birthday at your favorite place with people you love. Can't wait to see Cape pictures. Hopefully Bella knew better then to sleep the whole time during that.

Whatever you do is going to be fabulous, because you are going to be with people you love in a place you love.

We're thinking the same thing about our meals. Our time is short and it will be a long time before we are back, so it's going to be mostly counter service.

We shall soon see if Bella stays awake through the whole meal.

Not unless I bring dymamite. Or may Tim Tebow

Dynamite will get you banned from Disney and Tim Tebow will bring the crowds to you. Neither of those are good options.

well 24 is old enofe to be in the parks alone so go with out her then have her call u when she is ready to get going

That could work. When I am walking alone, I notice things that I probably wouldn't if I were talking to someone else or watching the girls or whatever.

Hey MeMom back home. Check in more later (maybe a short trip report).

You are back. I thought about you and hoped you were having wonderful birthday fun! Can't wait to hear all about it!


****************************

We walked out the back gate of Epcot and down the walkway toward the beautiful Beach Club Resort.

A big green butterfly greeted us with open wings.

Inside the lobby.

Brooklynn stood by the sign for me.
I told her she was tall enough to go in here.

Taken while waiting.

Isn't this just pretty?

Can't resist taking a picture of these.

Hungry men waiting for their turn.

Themed lighting.

Seashore decor.

I wanted to meet Art, the greeter, so I looked for him, but did not see him. I knew he was close to retiring, so I am sorry I never got to see him in person. I think he actually had his last day when we were there in October, but we never got over to Beach Club on that trip.

Brooklynn watched TV for a few minutes.

After a medium-sized wait, we were ready to be seated.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Love the pictures of Beach Club. All the seashell decor is great!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Ahhhhh, I love it!
It's just so pretty there! I can't wait to hear about your meal. I wonder if those other kids knew that a DIS celebrity was sitting next to them....

 

[MeMom]

This was an awesome buffet.

Donald was the first Disney friend to arrive.

Donald is a favorite of this big kid.

Next up was Goofy.

I didn't get any good pictures of him.

More food.

Guys eating food.

You know how we love our fruit!

Again with this birthday stuff.

Mickey waffles.

Oatmeal.

Maybe Jill's fruit?

Time for another beachcombing friend.

Yep, Bella was out again, and Minnie was totally making fun of her!

Three men and a lady.

Jarvis and his buddy, round two.

Goofy, round two, also making fun of Bella.

How long has it been since you have played croquet?

More food pictures.

To be continued...

 

[nowellsl]

Great pictures of Cape May, we ate dinner there in Sept. and it was really good! TONS of food. I'll have to try the breakfast buffet sometime!

 

[MeMom]

The waitress gave Brooklynn a cup to put her grapes in.

Jarvis had a spill on his much loved Donald shirt, so it was the Tide pen to the rescue.

The waitress also gave me a cup to put my cupcake in and we were on our way. That's it for the meal itself. It was very good and we will go back.

erica and i saw him when we were there in september last year and i was gonna try to meet him and ask him for a picture, but whoever he was talking to that day took a REALLY long time and i didn't want to interrupt their conversation.

Yep, Bella was out again, and Minnie was totally making fun of her!

i wish i could fall asleep that fast.

Three men and a lady.

great picture!!!

How long has it been since you have played croquet?

it's been awhile. although i prefer to use flamingos instead of mallets and hedgehogs instead of balls.

 

[disney<333]

Love the Beach club pictures. I had ADRs for Cape for October but since we canceled the Oct trip for November I can't get ADRs this time.

Anyways, My donald looks so cute in his beach gear. I at the picture of Minnie with sleeping Bella. I don't think she is making fun of the cute little baby though, I think she is admiring her cuteness.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Can I just say a great big YUM! I need to eat something!!!
I love the picture of the guys with Minnie, but I'm a bit surprised that she made fun of the little Sleeping Beauty..... I'm not surprised by Goofy though.

 

[k_reile]

art the greeter retired?? thats a bummer...we are staying there in Feburary and i was looking forward to seeing him!!

Cape may looks good but we have no more slots left on our dining plan options and we are already doing one out of pocket as it is BUT we are most definitely going to Chef Mickeys...it was non negotiable!!

 

[tinkgurl]

Haha, YES I wanted everyone to get away from that phone booth. Let's just stand by it and pose..no one really has to get in it!

The Beach Club is so nice. I could sit in that lobby all day.

Aww..Brookie is definately tall enough. So cute how she posed.

Love the pic of Minnie and the 3 boys..looks like Jarvis had a blast this whole meal.

 

[Lady Lallie]

I spotted Bella awake for one picture at least! She looks like such a teeny peanut in that high chair.

Cape May Cafe is officially on my list, it looks SO YUMMY!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

It's quiet here at work tonight so I actually took my break....

Awwww, Beach Club is my Ultimate First Choice Resort!!!!
So gorgeous!

The Cape May buffet looks delicious! I see alot of my favorites on there.

Bella's face is so precious! She is so happy to be there. Very cute.

It's so fun to see the guys enjoying themselves with the characters too.

Who doesn't like fruit? Yummy!

I booked an ADR for diner instead, I hope I made the right choice.

Back to work I go.....

 

[xoktenox]

Wow the Beach Club pictures are wonderful! Chris and I checked it out there very quickly when we were there in April and it was beautiful. Definitely on my list of resorts to stay at!

The buffet look so great! I think you just made me add Cape May to my "must do" list. There was so much food to chose from.

How cute that the characters were "making fun" of Bella! She's such a sweet little baby, never fussing and always just sleeping peacefully.

I hope your bday is one that will go down in history as one of the best with all your favorite people there to share it with you

Art did retire in the middle of October. Be sure to say hi to Teena, she is an awesome greeter as well. She's a DISer too!

 

[Happy Elf]

What a wonderful breakfast! It looks yummy! I love the pic of Minnie laughing at Bella, too funny!

 

[Charleston Princess]

All the seashell art makes me want to get crafty with all the shells laying around the house...

What a great breakfast at Cape May and adorable pictures of everyone with the characters! My favorite shot may be that very artistic one of the Mickey waffles.
