How exciting to be staying at GF! We re-enacted the Tanner family scenes when we were there....so much fun!!

My last experience with the food at CM was bad so we haven't been back. The character interaction was okay. We wanted to go to Cape May this summer but alas it is closed....

The race merchandise is super cool! Hats off to you for running 10 miles...just thinking about that makes me want to pass out!!

The dresses you bought are really cute. I love the Poly, it's my favorite resort.

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Okay I'll come out of lurkdom....although I have commented once or twice before

I love that greenish blue dress you're wearing (not the ones you tried on at Boutiki - although those were cute too!) Where on earth do you go shopping? You have good taste my dear.

I feel your pain on the characters not giving much attention once you're an adult. Dude, we are kids too you know!

You might bump into my sister (aka Bubba) if you're running in the Tower of Terror run. She'll be there running with you!

Thank you for coming out of lurkdom!

Thank you! I got that dress at American Eagle

I know! Those characters need to realize no matter how old you are if you're at Disney you are still a kid!

I will have to look out for her! Do you know what her time for the race is? I am in the last wave since I have never run a 10 mile before.

I am so excited! I have always thought it was a gorgeous resort! I thought re-enacting scenes would be fun!

Aw! I am sorry Cape May was closed! That just means you need to go back

I loved everything and could have spent a ton of money in there! I get that response a lot!

Thank you!

I also love it! I can't wait to check that one off of my list of hotels I need to stay at!

Hiiiii! I'm one of your lurkers! I've always enjoyed reading your trip reports!

How exciting to have a trip planned to the Grand Floridian! It is so gorgeous!

Aren't Disney races the best? My first was the half marathon in January and it was so much fun! I can't wait to read about the race you did on this trip!

I am soooo excited! It is a split trip between BW club level and the GF so it should be amahzing!

I love it!!! I always tell everyone I could only do races in Disney because I am spoiled by the weather and the scenery I really want to do the 2013 marathon so I am trying to save up and get a quick trip in Congrats on your first half!

I need to get myself over to AE really soon! I'm sure they've got all their summer dresses out.

I'm not sure what time her run is.... if I hear anything I'll let ya know

Great update! I agree with other posters, you always have the cutest dresses!

Yay for staying at the GF! What brougt about the change? The Disney episode of Full House is one of my favorites. I thought DJ's boyfriend was SO cute! He was the voice of Aladdin, you know...

I'm with you on CM. My last experience there was horrible and I had little ones with me. I have had much better experiences at Cape May at the BC.

I have always had a secret desire to stay at the GF so when we saw it was available we switched It is such a good episode! I know Steve was such a cutie!

Cape May always gets high marks in our books

Lurkers make me sad too.
PLEASE PLEASE hijack the piano full-on Uncle Jesse style and sing, "For the times... we're apart... here's a kiss... from my heart..."
(I won't lie... my sister and I have plans to do that this summer on a visit to GF hahah.)

I don't like when the characters don't spend time with adults either. Luckily since my brother has down syndrome (that's a weird sentence) the characters don't ignore my family so much. That and I don't let them haha. At least yall got some cute pictures though!

I SPY BAY LAKE TOWER.

Cinderella's carriage, that's awesome! The wig guy on the right looks like Mark Ballas from DWTS hahah.

I know I am so behind on your TR! I honestly haven't read it in like a month

I will! Just for you! I will take a video and everything!

I am glad your brother gets good character interactions

I remember one of my favorite Disney memories was the Pirate and Princess party when Sleeping Beauty and her Prince refused to leave their spot when a little girl who was on her MAW trip ran up

Bay Lake Tower is so awesome I am hoping to have a chance to stay at Contemporary again someday but I have to admit GF has my heart right now

He sort of does

 

[Princess Marsha]

Again on of the lurkers coming out. Love the dresses you got! I wish they would make them in bigger sizes for us curvy girls! Enjoying your trip report!

 

[JolllyHoliday]

Always enjoy your trip reports and your great photos. The ESPN complex looks cool. That is one area of Disney that I never get to see. Looking forward to your next update.

It is a pretty cool area!

The merchandise is so cute and you're right...that glass sneaker is so you

Can you believe we've never eaten at Chef Mickey's I have to agree with you guys on the buffets...unless we're on the DDP they are just not worth it for us! Love the pics of the characters with you guys!!

 

[jphilhower]

Ok I'm a lurker. I've read all your trip reports. Your photos are simply amazing.
8 days till our next trip. We stay at SOG and love everything about Disney. Can't wait for your next update.

I wish they had more t shirts in my size! Thanks I thought so too!

That's crazy! You two need to try it out! Thank you! It was fun meeting them if only for short time

Hi there, I'll admit to lurking too

Amazing how empty MK was first thing - I saw that on our trip back in November...all of a sudden shortly after 10am people started flooding in (including part of my family). It was so nice to wander around for an hour or so without the crowds

Speaking of crowds, how were they at the Expo? It didn't look too bad in your pic but I've read that it can get pretty crazy.

Loving all the pictures and looking forward to more

 

[LilAnn]

Phew, all caught up now!

Wow, that expo looks amazing! I think I would have walked out with a lot of stuff too. Good luck in training for the marathon! That is such an accomlishment in my eyes - any marathon. My friend just ran the Boston marathon earlier this month and she said it was brutal ....because it was record heat for Boston - 90 degrees. I felt so bad for the runners - so many cases of heat exhaustion. Take care of yourself!

Okay, side track over - as usual love the pictures. I agree with your thoughts on Chef Mickey. We have only done it once a long time ago, way before DD was into characters and I felt like it was just so crowded and chaotic. I prefer many other character buffets.

Love the dresses you got. They look so comfy!
