Coach's 2 for 1 pretrip/trip report!!! Plenty of pics!!!

[Coach81]

So the next day grandma and grandpa decided they wanted to go it alone and head to Epcot for the day. So we had planned to do DHS in the morning, and left it up to the kids for the afternoon. They decided they wanted to re-visit AK.. so here we go bright and early into DHS!!!

Mommy snapped a shot of our "American Idols":

I'm so glad they added this attraction to DHS.. now hopefully there will be more people at this attraction and less in my line quene!!! Personally.. I think the attraction will be gone in a few years, I don't see a lot of people enjoying it.. but like I said hopefully it will pull a few out of the lines

First thing we wanted to check out was the Jedi Training Academy.. I am a HUGE Star Wars fan.. and Zach is becoming on as well. (Can't wait for Star Wars Weekend while we are there in a few weeks )

As luck would have it.. Zach was chosen to be a Padawan

Here are a few shots:

We all loved the experience.. especially Zach! I got his showdown fight with Vader on Video... it was awesome!!!

Next up.. of course.. the tower of terror and RocknRoller!!!

Check out my son's expressions in this shot. They love Disney Coasters!!!

A nice Family shot in front of the hat:

The weather was great.. and we had a fantastic time.. just us...

We closed out the day back at Animal Kingdom... we all conquered Everest again:

We finished the day waiting on Zach who found the boneyard:

He played here for over 30 mins.. he had the most fun!!!

He made me promise to come dig with him next time we go (in a few weeks ) so I'll be diggin' with him next time

It was a great day for just the Boquets. We had a blast..

Next up... I'll start wrapping it up with the final morning and evening at the world.. and we'll start putting up our final pre-trip report plans.. Coming up on single digits now

Can't wait!!!

Great vid and pics!!!

Know the family will no doubt have another great trip next week!!!

Here's for your ressie this morning!

 

[Coach81]

Oh well... I knew it would be a tough call. Tried to lock up BLT for Christmas at the 7th month window... It didn't happen, but we were able to upgrade to BEACH CLUB VILLAS

So pssst.. keep this between us.... it's supposed to be a surpise to our two boys.. but we are now locked in to enjoy our first Christmas in Disney this year.. at Beach Club Villas!!!


Also.. one more thing..

We're doing the single digit dance baby

 

[Monorail Purple&Gold]

Congrats on BCV!!!

First time staying there???

 

[Coach81]

Congrats on BCV!!!

First time staying there???

Yes! We are pumped! Have you been, is it nice??

 

[Monorail Purple&Gold]

Yes! We are pumped! Have you been, is it nice??

Only visited the grounds--go to Beaches~n~Cream if you have never been--you won't be dissapointed--desserts are da' bomb!!! Teacher her across the portable walkway loved it @ BCV when they stayed there for MG this year.

So if my calculations are correct, you'll only have BLT and VWL left to stay at for your DVC "World Tour!" We're too in love with AKV right now to switch. Maybe BWV next summer.

Erra.. beaches and cream sounds kinda dangerous to me... but I like it....

That is correct! After this Christmas look for us to hit either BLT or VWL sometime in 2011, and then we will complete our "world tour" probably sometime in 2012!!!

Did I already mention that we are reserving the new Tree House Villas next Summer with my brother in law??? SWEET!!!

Awesome, stayed in a Treehouse Villa a while back, was really cool with some real solitude!!! Every day is one closer, buddy!!! (For both of us!)

 

[Coach81]

Last day of school with students I do my best teaching when there are no students!!!

Probably my last big update coming this weekend.. after that it will just be a few updates about the summer trip NEXT WEEK

Then it's back to the happy place!!!!

Hope you are all doing well, we are beyond excited... Next Thursday can't come fast enough!!!

 

[Coach81]

Last big update of this report...

On the final day of our Mardi Gras Vacation we went back to DHS to surprise the boys with a visit during ESPN the Weekend.. complete with custom matching t-shirts (which we were asked at least 10 times where we bought them). Chase is a huge ESPN fan, and of course I enjoy it as well. My 15 second link to fame happened on this trip.. I worked out with Mr. Skip Bayless early in the morning at SSR fitness Center! He was very down to earth, and cool with me.. we had a few morning workouts together... it was neat.

So here we go with some pics of the day...

What a stud!!!

As you can see, the boys had an absolute BLAST.. so did I!!! The weather could not have been better, and we went to the "sports complex" right at roap drop so we had it all to ourselves for the first hour or so.. it was really fun.

Grandma and Grandpa had a blast as well. Alisa said this next pic is a sure sign of a great vacation:

I also nabbed a quick shot of one of the many celebs there..

To wrap up the report here are a few shots I took around the pool area.. in just a few days now we'll be hittin' the pools again for our summer vacation

This next one is an instant classic!!!

A few shots of Brave teacher's hubby and son..

These two will continue these types of pics in the coming days I'm sure..

That will wrap up the trip report portion of this (as I'm sure you can see, it was another truly magical, priceless vacation at Disney.. one we will never forget)... now for a pre-trip update..

 

[Coach81]

A few of my very good friends got together this morning for a little fitness activity. We took pictures of each other with our shirts off.. no, it's not what you think.. we did it to document our fitness levels so far. Brave teacher's hubby joined in as well. I was a bit nervous to take mine off at first, but my two friends were very complimentary to me.. I really appreciated them very much. The plan is to take another round of pics in August to see the progress.

The last few updates leading to our departure back to Disney will focus on the final plans for the summer trip.. only a few days away now

 

[Brave teacher]

Hey, what yall decide to do with each other in your free time is none of my business.

 

[Monorail Purple&Gold]

Hey guy, just curious...did you guys do a 1 or 2 BR villa at SSR for MG??? Wondering how that worked out (either way) with the extended family.

We booked two different studios. It worked out really well. I love my mom and stepdad.. but it was nice to have our own private family time at the end of the day if you know what I mean..

Smart move!

 

[Monorail Purple&Gold]

Finally sat down to view the last pic update at home...love the action shots!!

Almost there, buddy!!! We're almost down to 50 days, you're almost down to 50 hours!

 

[Coach81]

We began packing last night. Mommy was checking our "owner's locker" box, and we made sure that we had goggles for the boys packed up. We packed our ponchos (hoping we don't need them too much, crossing our fingers), but we will be prepared nonetheless. Tonight we're going to Wally world to buy me some new swim suits, and a few "water resistent" shirts. I will begin packing my clothes tonight. It is soo exciting!!!

 

[Brave teacher]

We'll be doing this too. Stuck here at home right now waiting for Bryan's RAM. Afterwards, we are heading to Wal Mart or Target to get some things. I need to head out to Sam's as well to get some water and Diet COke for the fridge at Kidani.

...while the rest of us get to JUST sit at home!!

Game time, folks!!! Hope you both have great trips! We're at 50 days on Friday, can't wait to hear about BWV and KV from my trusted sources!

 

[Brave teacher]

I know we will both have a great time!
