Mike I can honestly say I have never enjoyed a thread as much as yours... I check two or three times a day for new PICTURES...
We are heading to BCV's on 4/3, and you have made our wait so much better w/ all of your photo's and information.
Thanks
Betsy

I have to confess. I agree. It is genuinely refreshing to see another professional male that seems to enjoy himself as much or more so at WDW as I do.

I know there are others here but Mike just stands out.

It's good to be a kid again. Thanks for reminding us all, Mike, that we can be both given the right circumstances.

Guests typically get free admission to a Disney theme park on their birthday. If (like me) you already have an annual pass, you get a choice of a birthday fastpass or the $70 gift card. I took the cash!

PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR ( or a DVC STAR ) Mike !!!!

Hope you got some cool stuff with your birthday gift card too

Enjoying your TR & photos, thanks for taking the time



Best to you !

We celebrated my birthday at the top of the Contemporary Resort at the California Grill. It was probably the best dinner of our whole trip.

They sat us right up against the glass with a bird's eye view of the MK. We watched Wishes at 9pm.

Happy Birthday Mike!! It sounds like you had the best birthday ever. I'm so glad.

Wow - that image with the walkway is the best yet I've seen of BLT.... and if my eyes don't deceive me, I believe those are trees still bundled up, lying on the ground in the bottom right? Could they be up to the landscaping phase?



Thanks Mike. Oh, and happy #27

Happy, Happy Birthday Mike!! What an amazingly fun sounding day you've had, and what a nice little dessert you got there. Sweet! Enjoy the remainder of your trip...I sure am from afar!

Ahhhh, I made it back in to wish you a very magical and Happy Birthday, Mike!
Tell your better half that her report on Raglan Road is not only appreciated but also, she must one day write a book. A short novella, even. Her descriptions and overall articualtion in her "writing" is beautiful. I enjoy reading her little excerpts each time she gets to throw her words in here. I imagine not only is she a very lucky lady to have such a wonderful and magically inclined husband as yourself, You also have quite a catch in her. The TR has been wonderful- I hope we get a few more days before it ends. Thx again and I hope you had a perfect ending to what seemed to be a perfect day. (Maybe by the time you get back home, our Spring weather will be back to stay...)

Happy Birthday Mike! It looks like you had a great time.

I appreciate the feedback. So Block Party Bash is still going on. I had read it was somehow tied to the Year of a Million Dreams and was going to end 12/31. Had also heard something about something new tied to the newest High School Reunion movie. I guess that hasn't occurred yet, if it is. And what is the name of that stage show in your picture in front of the castle? I should know but can't find it anywhere. We saw it years ago, but it has probably changed since then. How often do they perform it?

Thanks, and once again, Happy Birthday! Keep up the great work on the TR!

I'm late..I'm late...

Just got back from a trip to Cali (not DL sadly, maybe next time) and am getting caught up on what I missed on the Disboards.

First, Happy Belated Birthday Mike!!!

What a great trip report! We are going in a few weeks and it's gotten me even more excited if that's possible. It'll be our first trip as DVC members.

AND... DVC Mike has groupies!!! That's so funny! Hope your dw is okay with that.

DVC Mike,
Sounds (and looks) like you had a great birthday! You might want to remove your "upcoming trips" in your signature though - we're all going to want TRs like this one every time you go!!
