Isn't it amazing how much more you can get done without the crowds of summer.

How magical to go up and see Wishes from the balcony!

I was looking in the trip reports yesterday and found yours again!!! I had no idea you were going again!!! Love the report as usual! Thanks for all the wonderful pics!
I am so sad we missed spectro and wishes on our trip....but....it just means we have to go back, huh?! Loved your Tower viewing...I had to live it thru your report!!!
Hope all is going well!
Hugs!

Just found your new TR, better late than never, just read about the first day. Your room at the new BLT looks so nice. I love October, I hope the rest of the trip was as great as your first day.

I just want to say that it puts a smile on my face everytime I find a new trip report about your family! My DH and I have been married 16 years, no kids. I love reading your TR's... keep it up! Your son and daughter look like they are having so much fun... you must be so glad you can share that experience with them as often as you do.. and I can tell you they truly appreciate it!!! Thanks, Lesley and Tim!

I second this...A timandlesley trippie always cheers me up!..You are the perfect little family!...its heartwarming to read.

Lesley...I see you are going back to AKLV next year...Was it a hard decision? We own DVC too and its soooo hard each year thinking where to "try for " at 7 months. We own at SSR but have not stayed there yet..iam sure we will one day. Have you tried WLV yet?

 

[cdotla]

Great TR! I am hoping on board!

 

[Sooze]

That's a little creepy, no?

As we opened the door I was sad to see this hanging:

So cruel...

Have I mentioned how much I loved traveling this time of year

Yes... many times! But if I experienced lack-of-lines like you guys did, I probably wouldn't be able to stop talking about it either!! Maybe next week when we go, I'll experience it! HOPING!!

It’s no secret that this is my favorite ride, here I am SUPER happy to be starting the day on this wonderful ride:

That's how I look on Expedition Everest. Of course, I STILL have never ridden Splash Mountain. Is that just WRONG?!

I love the way they have re done this, you have to check it out

Yes, ma'am. I shall follow your orders and check it out in a week!

 

[Sooze]

We had no idea what this was (turns out it was the DEBUT of princess Tianna and we MISSED IT!!!!!!)

I was watching some video footage of this online. Looks SO neat! Matt and I will get to see it in a week, but we were sad to learn it was only going until January, so the kids will miss out. I sure hope they keep Tiana as a live princess, even when her showboat departs!

She is capturing the thought of "What? No line?!" perfectly with her face! Love it!

I looked down and couldn’t believe my eyes!!!! Check out LAUREN’S SCORE!!!!

What the?! How did she DO that?!

There are many times when I catch my kids who love eachother dearly doing wonderful things with eachother that just makes a mom’s heart melt.

And when those moments occur in Disney World....

Do you THINK Lauren enjoyed her ice cream ???

Ah... yeah... I would say that she did!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

What a great day! The Top of the World lounge looks awesome! Loved your update, as always!!

 

[lmillercrew]

Coming in a little late, but a great TR as always! My DH and I went in Oct 2007 and loved the weather, but the crowds were still pretty big. The weather was perfect!
So glad you were able to enjoy another trip.

 

[disneyfan61]

Looks like another great day that you all had!! Walking back to the resort must be wonderful!! My DH & I will enjoy that in May when we stay at Beach Club & just walk back after Illuminations.

Sooze you have GOT to ride Splash!!! It is also my favorite all time ride. Love ToT, Space, Soarin, RNR but my favorite is Splash.

 

[stacikristine]

Aw! What a wonderful day! Are the (non) October crowds just fantastic?! I'm sorry the cab driver was a scum bag! But thank goodness he got you back to BLT on time!! What an incredible view! The perfect ending to a wonderful day!

 

[3LittlePirates]

I have read several of your trip reports..they are awesome! Cant wait for more!

I actually saw your family at Epcot this summer, but didnt want to bother yall by saying hi!...Me and my son are in the background of one of your pics from that trip report...He loves that he is in a pic on the computer..LOL!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TIM, LESLEY, LUKE and LAUREN

Have a great day !!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I am now caught up with your TR. I am so happy that you enjoyed MNSSHP, so much fun. I loved your costumes. The boys looked great in their Mario and Luigi costumes, and your and Lauren's witch costumes are fantastic. I have done the face painting twice, it really is fun if it is not too hot. The CS do such a great job in such a short period of time.

I just love all your pictures of BLT, WOW what a beautiful resort. You always take such great pictures, a good mix of backgrounds. So cool that you took the cab back and were able to see Wishes from the balcony. Sometimes it is best to just spend a few more dollars to save some time. It really paid off for you that night.

Your MK and AK mornings sure illustrate why touring in the off season pays off. You just cruised through the parks. Loved to see all the food pictures too. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks so much, hope you had a great Thanksgiving too. Glad you are all caught up and enjoyed it. Yes, BLT was amazing, happy to hear you enjoyed the pics. Yes, that cab was worth every dime spent! You are quite welcome, thanks for reading/posting - makes it all worth it!

How magical to go up and see Wishes from the balcony!

You guys are too sweet, THANK YOU!!! No, I haven't stayed at WLV yet, my parents did when they flew down to surprise me for my 30th bday 2 years ago and although I love the location I didn't like the theming of the rooms seemed dated to me, but I would like to stay there at holiday time someday - hoping they get a refurb.

Yes, Creepy!!!!

WRONG doesn't even begin to describe it

Report back : )

I got some video of it but I'll have to see if I can convince Tim to upload it. Next update (hopefully being posted tonight) will have tons of pics!

I HAVE NOOOOO IDEA!!!

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had an outstanding Thanksgiving yesterday! I know we did. We spent the day with Tim's family and had a great time - tonight we're off to spend time and eat some more turkey with my family. You can check out my Thanksgiving blog at www.livinglifeaslesley.blogspot.com if you'd like - I have so much to be Thankful for this year!
Well, I'm working on an update so the final installment of this TR should be up tonight, so stay tuned. Also Tim's trip is FAST approaching (he leaves on Dec. 11th) so stay tuned for reports from Tim and a brand new ALL TIME TR............. should be interesting
I was up at 4:00 a.m. this morning with all the black Friday craziness. I hit Target and Kohls and was back in bed by 6:30 and got everything on my list so that was great! Brrrrrrrrrr it sure was cold standing in that 30 minute line as snow was falling this morning!!!!
The tree is up at our house and Tim is out hanging our outdoor lights as we speak. I hope each of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are getting excited about the upcoming holiday season. WE HAVE BIG NEWS to share about a future trip, haven't booked it yet, but will this week and then we'll share!!!!
Stay tuned, TR update coming tonight : )
Lesley

Oh goody...I loves me some more updates and news about a new trip!!! I can't wait to move to FL and be a few hours from Disney

 

[jenbear123]

Look forward to your update
