"Detroit has never sounded so sexy!" A mother/daughter February 2012 NEW TR LINK

Yes, I also Lysol the hotel room as soon as we arrive. Learned that lesson the hard way! :sick:


Aww being sick at Disney is awful :sad2:

I love love love that boat ride to DTD! So relaxing. Sorry about the bumps in the road, but it still sounds like you're off to a good start!

Me too! The ride is so peaceful and the view is so pretty :)
 
Great start! I love POR. We stayed in the Mansions so I loved seeing your pics of the "other" side. The boat ride to DTD is the best - really feels like you are away from everything. It is so peaceful.

Congrats to Caitlin on being named the Red Wings media fan of the day! Loved her pic with Tigger.

Can't wait to read more!

Thank you! We have stayed in both sides and I prefer the woodsy feeling of Alligator Bayou.




Congrats to Caitlin on being named the Red Wings media fan of the day! Loved her pic with Tigger.

She took her Wings shirt so she could get a pic to enter in the Fan of the Day contest so she's pretty excited they picked her :)


Can't wait to read more!

Thanks :)
 
Hi ladies,
Coming out of lurkdom. I have read most of your trip reports and decided to get in on this one in the beginning. We arrived right as you were leaving. I love reading about your adventures and your special relationship. DH and I have a 4 1/2 year old DD, and I so hope that we have the close relationship with her that you guys have :thumbsup2. Can't wait to read more.

Hi :goodvibes Thanks for coming out of lurkdom! We hope you keep posting! :)

I hope you had a wonderful time! I see by your ticker you're going back just before we are in Sept? We're staying at the CR too :)

That is such a wonderful compliment! Thank you so much :goodvibes

 
Can I join in?! We were there a couple weeks before you for our first trip. While planning I kept going back and forth from Port Orleans to the Poly. Poly won out, but we did spend an amazing morning touring around both POs. That will definitely be our next Disney home (no way we can afford the Poly again!).

So funny about the Seniors :) We had cheerleaders...you got Q-Tips :rotfl: And I mean that in the nicest way possible....my head is turning white now too, pretty soon I will be a Q-Tip!

Of course you can join in! Welcome! :goodvibes

The Poly is a great resort! I hope you had an amazing time!

One time we were at All Star Movies and there were tons of obnoxious teens there. I'll take the seniors over that anyday :)

Of course we had a wonderful time! The Poly was an amazing way to introduce us to WDW :)

Yeah, I doubt the seniors randomly broke out into a cheer while waiting in line. Well, maybe some, but not a group of 50 at once :)

I will definitely try to keep up. I travel for work, but am in town for the next couple of weeks so it should be pretty easy.

We are at BLT. We have stayed there the last 2 years, and probably will continue to do so for the forseeable future. Our DD is absolutely obsessed with the monorail. Our last trip was a quick one so we decided to try Pop (which we really enjoyed), but Chloe didn't understand why the monorail didn't take us everywhere :confused3

Your relationship is very special. It seems like you have a fantastic daughter and I hope that when Chloe is Caitlin's age that she will still want to hang out with us :lovestruc

I have actually been busy trying to catch up on your TR and I'm enjoying reading about your first adventure :)

No we didn't see 50 seniors break out in a cheer but if we had I bet that video would have been a You Tube sensation :rotfl:

I understand her obsession. The monorail is very cool! I have wanted to to stay at CR since 1972 on our first visit. The fact that the monorail went right through the hotel just amazed me! My parents always picked the Poly though. Come Sept I finally get to stay there. It only took 40 years :laughing:
Aww I wish the monorail went to Pop too :)

Thank you. We do have a fantastic daughter and we feel blessed that she still wants to spend time with us :)

That is so funny - we went every year when i was growing up and we always stayed at the CR, but wanted to stay at the Poly. I guess we always want what we can't have. Many people don't like the CR because they don't think it is Disney enough - to me it is Disney - That is the great thing - something for everyone and always something new to experience. Going with Chloe has certainly opened my eyes to so many new things. There is nothing like seeing all of the magic through the eyes of a child :good vibes Hope you don't mind, but here is a picture of Chloe from our trip last week. She is adopted from Vietnam. Can't wait to read more. :thumbsup2

I love your post! Seeing Disney through your child's eyes is pure magic. You will never forget seeing and feeling her joy and wonderment and you'll remember all her favorite attractions even after they are gone :goodvibes

Chloe is a doll! Thank you for sharing :)

 
Awww, how cute are those penguins on the plane?! Too bad it wasn't the one yall were flying on though!

POR looks so pretty! I've always wanted to stay there.

Sounds like your trip got off to a great start! :thumbsup2

That was really the cutest plane ever :)

It is a very pretty resort!

It sure was :)


 
I've never seen an airplane with pictures on it like that Frontier plane with the penguins. Well, at least not in person. Cute!

I really like Port Orleans Riverside. I stayed there once during our first mother-daughter trip in September 2010. We were in the mansion area. It's so pretty there! I could definitely imagine how exciting it would be to see beautiful greenery and flowers when you haven't seen it in a while!

I hope the surprise in the room works out for Caitlin.
