Please don't revoke my DIS membership but I've actually never been into Goofy's Candy Co. Maybe next time... lots of good treats in there, it looks like!
A rainforest unit sounds like fun. And always nice to bring a dose of Disney into the class!
Enjoy your Sunday!!
We'll just put your DIS membership on probation and give you a chance to remedy that issue. It's a fun place, and food always makes a good souvenir for those that are hard to buy for.
I hope to get some cool stuff at the gift shop at Rafiki's and at Rainforest Cafe. I wish we had more AK time, but next Sunday for one day is all we have, so I have to make the most of it.
Minnie seems to be channeling her inner Scarlett O'Hara with her "Tower of Tara."
I am always ready for shopping pictures especially when they include a stop at Goofy's!
Can't believe your trip is so close!!!
It was unknown at the time if Brooklynn would really go for it.
I have never gotten one of the big 'fun' cups with a slushie in it. I always think they are cute, but I have not yet bought one.
I have a busy week at school, but I really do have to start thinking about packing.
Glad I had just finished breakfast before looking at the last group of pictures; yummy!
The fudge is so sweet; I can only take tiny nibbles. I kept a piece of it in the freezer one time and pulled it out every so often and cut a piece off. It lasted forever, until I finally threw it out. I am tempted by the apples. Wonder if I could get the girls to share one with me this time?
I would say both Rain Forest gift shops at DTD & AK are about the same size.
Great DTD pics!! I love the red, white & blue apples.
I might check out the DTD one, then. I have been in the AK one many times, but at the DTD one I have just taken pictures from the outside.
goofy's candy store is not a good place to try to get rid of snack credits! LOL! My mom and I spent a lot of time in there trying to decide all what to get (she had that many credits left) we got a lot and boy was it good! We decided there were too many choices because we could not just choose one!
I hear so many people say they spend their last morning trying to use up their snack credits. I have not done the Dining Plan, but I know I would have almost every snack credit left, because we rarely, rarely get desserts.
I saw those apples last night and asked Clay if he wanted to see what a $9.00 apple looked like. He wasn't impressed.
I showed him a few more of the pictures and he asked me where it was. I told him it was Goofy's Candy Co. at DTD. If we took the girls there, Alison would spend all her spending money and use up all her snack credits here. That girl has a serious sweet tooth! There were a few things I wouldn't mind having myself!
Glad to hear that Jarvis's Mom is doing better and will continue to pray for her.
Out here in real world, I might spend five dollars on an apple for a school charity or something, but nine!
Goofy's is fun to look around in, but I don't buy too much. That sugar straw thing Brooklynn had - I think that's the one she took about one 'sip' of and that was it.
Morning all!
My heart breaks for Jarvis. I will pray for his Mom.
I do not know what I would do without my DMom, she is my everything!
It's our Thanksgiving here in Canada. (yeah...two days off in a row...)
I'm thankful for my family, DIS-friends, job and health...and Walt Disney!
My day will include a trip to the "new" Super Wal Mart....very excitting!
It is the second one in our city and this one is much closer to me.
Now if we can just get Target into Canada I will feel complete...and get our
Disney store back!
We may go to the orchard to pick up some apples and cider.
Turkey and the fixings will be tomorrow. I will make pecan pies for my kids and my DMom will make pumpkin pies for us. Yummy!
I have to decorate a vanilla haunted house (like a gingerbread house) for a display in the store.
WOW, your trip is less than a week away! Are you doing the happy packing dance!
Even a short trip is awesome....better than no trip at all!
We are there in 83 sleeps...not that I'm counting...
I forget that you guys do Thanksgiving the month before us. Enjoy your time off! Thanksgiving is a wonderful low-key holiday. I love just doing nothing for a few days.
It's nice to read your comment about your mom. I hope my kids like me as much. I know for a fact that they are my world.
Wonderful update as always! Love the pics from Downtown Disney!
Will pray for all of our DisFriends and their families needing them right now.
I can't wait to read about your upcoming adventures in Disney! We are also heading to Florida in 16 days, but no Disney for us this time. As much as I want to make the 3 hour drive with my kids, my dh is freaking out about me with the kids by myself for the overnight trip. My Mom and I are planning on coming down for another trip to WDW for a long weekend to see my brother at another time, just don't know the date yet. Could be a year from now- who knows. So for now, I'll have to wait for that. Just sad that I am going to be 3 hours from one of my favorite places in the world and can't be there. Still thinking about it though
Better get going. I have a photo session with one of my favorite clients in just a little bit! This will be my 6th session in the past 10 days! Then I get 5 days off before I start a few more! My busy season, that's for sure! But I do love it!
Ooooh, it would be really hard to be so close and not get to go.

I was talking to a lady at church this morning who is headed to Gatlinburg this week. I wish it would work out for us to ride up there one day in December.
Hope you are enjoying this nece beautiful day as well. After last weeks massive rainfall, we had a few nice cool days. Today, we are back up in the 80's! I was hoping that fall had arrived, but I was wrong! It didn't take long for us to dry out, we even had to turn our sprinkers back on.
I love Brooklyn's haircut!
It has been nice here. The kids come in with coats in the mornings, but there is no need to put them on at dismissal.
I'm good with 4th of July again, if we need to do that, but if we can be there on my birthday, I'd be happy with that, too. I just have to wait for the calendar, and they say it may be December before it comes out.
********************************
One week from right now, if all goes well, we will have spent the day at Animal Kingdom.
Not sure about the evening - maybe to the Boardwalk or maybe over to Pop to meet our cousins when they arrive.
Our other cousins (sister and family of ones that are coming next week) that are down there now have had a good time, except for each of the boys got sick. Dean just got a little sick, but Kemper got pretty sick, and they ended up going to a walk-in clinic. Kemper is thin, anyway, and they were afraid he was going to get dehydrated. They gave him something, and all is well. I look forward to hearing about their take on things, since they are not Disney people.
