So cool to have your eye doctor on the DIS! That's the first time for that, I think. LOL!
It is cool - but odd. hehe
I hadn't heard this news about the monorail, what a bummer! I suppose they want everyone to just take busses now? Boooo.... I'll have to read up on that.
Love the Hidden Mickey ring!
It appears that it will only effect us on one EMH night. Disney originally said that it would run one hour after reg park closing, which means not after hard ticket events. Now, they are saying no decision regarding those nights has been made. I think they see a logistics nightmare on those nights.
I love the hidden mickey jewellery! Your trip is coming up so soon!!
Thanks! We are getting very excited!
Those pictures at the shore are beautiful! Your girls are precious. 
LOVE that ring! I totally want one!
And your dining plans look great. Your trip is getting so close now!! 
It is the beach to us... haha - story behind that is when you are from PA, DE, NJ and say shore- you are headed to New Jersey. If you say you are going to the beach, you are headed to Delaware or Maryland.
Thank you- I think they are pretty cute!!
Have a great time at the beach!!! I agree -- it is the perfect way to spend some time before your Disney jaunt.
Thanks! We had a great time (except one night of a family feud...but this can be the laundry instead of the story...
)!
It did help pass the time, and I would be sad to not be able to have a beach trip and a Disney trip.
Dh was looking at a real estate ad book I brought home from a trip to the
shore...we might still get a beach or shore place some day...
(The shore is closer.)
Glad to hear you are enjoying your trip to the beach! I would love to be sitting on some sand right about now listening to the waves splashing 
It was lovely and the weather couldn't have been better!
I took this picture a while back and forgot to post it for you - just wanted to show you the countdown chart I made. DD gets to open a "yellow door" every day until we leave!
We're almost there!
Lovin' the beach pics - post more! Nothing says summer like some time at the beach!
LOVE the calendar-- it is wonderful. I will have to share the idea with my df whose daughter is four.
Your room looks beautiful! What a great way to pass the time until your trip!
It was a nice hotel. It is about the same cost as a deluxe in Disney and you get so much more for the money. (My mom paid for our rooms; we are very blessed.)
I hope you are loving the beach! What a great way to spend the time before a trip to WDW! I have the same mickey bag! My friend got it for me as a gift last week when she was here. I think by the end of her trip she had like 3 of those bags lol.
I love my Mickey tote! I actually had another bag (one a bit more "Hiltonish") and I took it to our pool one day to try it out. It just didn't cut it. So, I tugged Mickey around happily. He was right at home, actually. I saw two or three different Disney
Castaway Cay items - shirts and a towel. My brother said he overheard some people talking, and the one guy was asked the best Cruise ship he'd been on. (Apparently, he cruises often...) He told the other person, hands down, Disney.
Beach fun - yay!!!
That balcony looks like a nice place to relax and enjoy the view.
It was great in the evening. During the day, we were pool side!
What a great place to stay at the beach! So jealous!!!
To answer your earlier question, I'm really bad about running when I'm on vacation. Our last day at Disney is supposed to be an 11 mile run and I don't know yet what I'm going to do... Probably I'll run on Sunday since we get home late on Saturday night.

We stayed there for two nights and moved to a condo for the other four. The condo is amazing, and it was good to have a living room with tons of light and room for our family to play games or just lounge.
I ran twice while at the beach - 4 miles each time. I figure I will take stuff with me and run if I get an itch.
Granted, we haven't been since my family got a place in Rehoboth (seems to be a lot less crowded) but I don't ever remember our hotel looking that nice!
