School workshops?? Don't they know it is summer?

Love all the shopping pictures. The store in Pop is something else. That onesie with the tie and pocket protector is just adorable!!

Looking forward to shopping some more!!

Yeah, they started giving us the week in October as a fall break, but we have to pay for it in the summer. If we don't want to go to the workshop in the summer, we can go the Monday and Tuesday of the fall break. I plan to be in Disney World on those two days, so off I go to the summer sessions! ;)



Aww, I will have to pick one up in February!!


Jackie is right, Kennesaw is very safe and there are lots of things and restaurants around that area.

Oooh, you know I am game on meeting up!!!

As I PMed you last night, it looks like he might just be flying home instead of us going down there. The costs were just starting to snowball. I think he's going to make a decision today.



Neither could we; that's why were sneaking in this short trip at Christmas.

I will count on you for good Christmas pictures, since we won't be down there during the holidays this year. :santa:



Loved all the shopping pictures! I really like all the pins they have. I think that might be something Jacob would love to collect. I hope your workshops for school go by fast.

Brooklynn started pin trading this trip. I bet Jacob would enjoy that, too. I get pins that are significant to each trip, but I don't trade. Pins are not too costly, if you limit yourself yo just a few per trip, and they don't take up space when traveling, so that's good. :)



I wish you would hurry up and move down here!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, she needs to join us in the south. We're much closer to Disney World, and she could be in on our meets. :)



We had a VERY unmagical ME driver on our way home in January. He felt it necessary to lecture the bus and young children specifically about how grateful they should be and how expensive he was sure the was. He suggested the boys mow lawns, do manly things etc. while the girls should bake cookies, babysit and do other girly things to raise money to take their parents to Disney. Because heaven forbid a boy want to bake or girl mow the lawn.... I can't remember the specifics beyond that, but I remember wanting him to be quiet before we left the parking lot and the teenage girls egging him on the entire ride to the airport. He was so chauvinistic and degrading... is was a very disappointing way way to end the ride. We told my 9 year old nephew and 4 year old niece to ignore him....

Anyway, sorry. mini rant over.

LOVE the 2010 items. I should've gotten some; that Mickey status is SUPER cute.

Our driver didn't speak until we got to Pop Century.
Then he said, "We are at Pop Century Resort."
I was very glad we were the first stop. :laughing:



you guys know i'm up for an atlanta meet no matter where it is as long as i'm physically able. being that you're talking about september and i'm due on september 20th, that will all depend! just keep me updated and we will see how it all plays out.

Looks like he's coming here, but Jill and I and the girls will make a GA trip happen one of these days after you and Heather have those babies.



Thank you for awesome shopping pictures! It made my night. I was watching Deadliest Catch and Captain Phil died. So sad! So, it made me happy to see some happiness on my computer!

I saw the commercials of that. I have never watched it, but I know it has a big following. I'm sure it was sad.



As always, wonderful shopping pictures!

You mentioned a NEW monorail shirt? Did they change the look of it? I haven't seen it/heard about that...I've always wanted one of those shirts!

I'm looking forward to watching the progress of the Animation Inn & Suites through your reports.


Ah, bummer...However, and ECV also often means front of the line access....which is VERY handy with little ones and large crowds.


Aw, it's not THAT far! Yep, I'm up here, NYC - Queens! Chances are eventually we will head down in that direction on a short vacation. Not this year, but eventually. That's the beauty of this area, we can get to many places fairly cheaply for little vacations.



I used to be in MN, but now am in Queens (Astoria). I know a couple other LI DISers too. We just might have to do a meet sometime. I'm all for heading your way to the BEACH on a random Saturday...just which random Saturday is the question.


The new monorail shirt is mad by a different company, and it fits like a regular t-shirt. The old one was a lighter weight material and was a little more fitted. The new one has dark writing where the other one had red. I'll try to get a picture tonight of the one I got Jarvis, or I'll try to find a picture of it among my pictures.

An ECV will be a last resort, but I think we're getting close to the last resort. It's hard to enjoy the parks when you are in pain the whole time. Plus, I feel like I am holding everybody up, even when I feel like I am pushing it to walk fast, I think they feel like they are having to slow down. You don't know how many times I was booking it and just in pain every step, and they were ahead of me looking back trying to slow down enough for me to catch up. :sad2:


Yes, it will be fun to see Animation Suites grow right before our eyes. I'm really interested in buying a "Por favor..." shirt too. It's my favorite part of the monorail.

They had the old and the new shirts at Pop. :thumbsup2

I have to meet teacher friends at 6:45 to get to this workshop today, so no more Dising for me. Hope you guys have a more exciting day than I know I am going to have.

Here's the rest of my Everything Pop shopping for Morning One.
Enjoy, and have a great day!

Did you remember that I was going to do a Disney World alphabet?
Well, I did.
I thought finding something that started with X was going to be pretty hard, so I took the opportunity to get this picture to use when I get to X.

It was a wonderful vacation. I am ready to pack up and go back. We're thinking of meeting Trent in Atlanta near his birthday, then we'll be back in WDW in October. After that, unless there is a miracle of some sort, it will be March before we are there again.

Your boo boo got censored, too. Isn't that kind of funny? :laughing:

i know!! I was wondering what happened?! what was wrong with it?? I'm not sure!! LOL! I changed to it scrapes! Oh well! Wow!! Back in October?! That's so exciting! And even between October and March...maybe the time will go by quickly :confused3?! Can't wait to hear more!

Memom..i love all your pics from the shops! Especially from Pop…they’re wonderful! Gotta definitely put the Pop Gift Shop on my things to do next trip! Definitely can’t wait for next Pop Shopping session!
 
More shopping pictures! I just wanted to tell you that I saw the free shipping on disneyparks merchandise yesterday for disneystore.com. I browsed on the site and they had the monorail shirt!! So, I ordered it. I am so excited!! I hope workshops go okay today.

You can't say b*o*o*b on this forum, and when you don't put a space between your boos, well..... :laughing:

Everything Pop is a fun place to visit, and if you are ever up at six and looking for a place to go, they're open! ;)

Good for you! I know you will wear it with Disney pride. I think I'll wear mine to my workshop tomorrow. :)

Free shipping?
Should we tell wigd??? :laughing:

I'm not supposed to be here. I am supposed to be in a car going into Nashville for a workshop.

I checked my employee e-mail this morning, something I rarely do in the summer. As of 4:08 yesterday, they cancelled today's session.

I am so glad I looked, because I would have had a car full of unhappy teachers if we had gotten out there and found closed doors.

This really messes us up now, though, because we had to scramble to find another session to use for an October swap day. Everything was filled and had a waiting list for the rest of this week. We found two sessions - one with 3 seats left and one with 7 seats left - and signed up for those real quick, before everyone else figures out about today's closing and starts their own scrambling.

Now I have to find someone to cover for me next week at camp
on the day I have to go to a workshop
when I am not supposed to be at a workshop :headache:
but will be going anyway
so I can go to Disney World in October!
 

So no workshop, does that mean more pictures today?? :rolleyes1

I'm glad you were able to sign up real quick for another one though!! We don't want anything messing around with October!!

There are going to be a lot of upset teachers today, I can assure you. Some will go out there and find out, and some will get lucky and check their e-mails and find out. They'll quickly register for whatever they can get and re-do their schedules accordingly. It's an annoyance, but I am glad to have a job to be annoyed about.

What, Pop shopping wasn't enough for you this morning? You want to walk around a little more?
 
Glad you were able to find another session to replace today's canceled session, but what a pain! As long as it doesn't mess with your October trip, though, I guess that's good!
 
Aw! Those "I'm as cute as Mickey Mouse/Minnie Mouse" pic frames are adorable!

Ugh, too bad the session was cancelled today. It probably would have been nice to get it done and over with, but good thing you looked beforehand!
 
Home safe and sound. Apparently the weather caused many disruptions intravel plans yesterday. I sat next to a girl on her back from Seattle and she basically had been travelling for the last 24 hours trying to get home.

Right now I am putting off getting ready to go to work. I usually go in at 1 on Wednesdays but somehow the schedule got changed and I am not closing tonight. I am trying to pretend I don't know that and go in late anyway. :rolleyes1

I saw the new monorail shirt too in Mousegears and at least got a picture of it. I thought about buying it but I only wanted to use my 20% off coupons and i had to buy before noon. I also want to save something to buy on the next trip. :laughing:

Have a great day.
 
Well, Jackie was telling us about Kennesaw and how nice and safe it was, along with it having a Disney Store mall, so that is sounding good. That would be north, though. If you know of a place south of Atlanta that has all that, I am up for looking at that to help make the drive easier on Trent. As it is, he'll be doing twice the driving we will, so I was just thinking if we could go a little extra way south of Atlanta, that might help him a little.

I have heard Kennesaw is nice-I am close to Savannah but thats a little farther for y'all to drive but around 5 hours from Orlando. Plus they closed our Disney Store in the mall years ago :mad:
 

hmmmm.....these are interesting. the one on the top left, is it supposed to be a cross between a hamburger and a....frog? and i don't like the second from the left. anything that resembles mickey and looks mean doesn't sit well with me.

glad you were able to get another session and that you found out this one was cancelled before you drove there! enjoy your unexpected day off. :)
 
I am so glad you checked your email. It would have been just awful to drive all that way and then find out you did not have a workshop. Glad you were able to squeeze in another. I am looking forward to wearing my monorail shirt with pride and imagining myself riding it as I gaze out across the water to my lovely GF!
 
I am loving your trip report. We will be at Pop in Nov/ Dec! I have already started shopping lists just from the pictures in you trip report.
 
I love going on Pop shopping trips with you. Those Mickey statues are really odd.

I am glad you found your e-mail about your canceled session today. I am glad you were able to find another one so that your October trip isn't messed up.
 
Yes, I think we should walk around some more this morning since you aren't off to a workshop. :goodvibes

Sorry to hear about the hassle though! Ugh.

The new monorail shirt is mad by a different company, and it fits like a regular t-shirt. The old one was a lighter weight material and was a little more fitted. The new one has dark writing where the other one had red. I'll try to get a picture tonight of the one I got Jarvis, or I'll try to find a picture of it among my pictures.

An ECV will be a last resort, but I think we're getting close to the last resort. It's hard to enjoy the parks when you are in pain the whole time. Plus, I feel like I am holding everybody up, even when I feel like I am pushing it to walk fast, I think they feel like they are having to slow down. You don't know how many times I was booking it and just in pain every step, and they were ahead of me looking back trying to slow down enough for me to catch up. :sad2:

I wish I had realized the old monorail shirt was more fitted - I like that. Usually the real t-shirts don't hang exactly right on me unless they are specifically a ladies type shirt. All well, maybe I'll still buy it! :rolleyes:

I understand about the ECV, that knee pain and feeling like you are slowing everyone down would truly take away from some of the enjoyment. When we did Poppa in a push wheelchair I thought it was going to be more hassle than it was, it wasn't hardly trouble at all and made for a much better trip for him.

It was crazy there for a few minutes. Every session I clicked on was closed and had a waiting list. I still have to work out something for camp next week, which means I am going to be trying to catch other people at the last minute, so it's affecting more than just us teachers. I'm guessing something must have happened with the instructor, since this was so late, so it's probably something that really couldn't be helped.



Aw! Those "I'm as cute as Mickey Mouse/Minnie Mouse" pic frames are adorable!

Ugh, too bad the session was cancelled today. It probably would have been nice to get it done and over with, but good thing you looked beforehand!

I thought they were, too. I thought about Dawn when I saw those, but she wanted something that said 2010 on it.

We really did want to have these sessions over with, but I hope nothing is seriously wrong with the teacher or anyone in her family. I am definitely glad I checked my e-mail.

Glad you did make it home safely.

I do the same - look at something for several trips before I buy it.



I have heard Kennesaw is nice-I am close to Savannah but thats a little farther for y'all to drive but around 5 hours from Orlando. Plus they closed our Disney Store in the mall years ago :mad:

Going to the Disney Store is going to be a factor. Sounds like Kennesaw has a good reputation from everyone's reviews. Jill and I and the girls may do a zoo trip and DIS meet after Dawn and Heather have their babies.

Those things are certainly unique. I don't like Mean Mickey either. The last day, John bought two of them. Maybe Jill took pictures.

I like pulling up to the Polynesian, so I'll pretend that when I am wearing my shirt. :laughing: I know I am getting ready to walk into that lobby filled with greenery and waterfalls.

Yeah, I am glad we didn't get in Nashville morning traffic and then figure out we didn't need to!



I am loving your trip report. We will be at Pop in Nov/ Dec! I have already started shopping lists just from the pictures in you trip report.

Glad to have you here. We have a great bunch of DIS friends here, so we hope you enjoy hanging out with us. Get your pencil ready, because there will be many shopping pictures. ;)



Excellent Lego pictures! :thumbsup2 :rotfl2:

Just wait until you see what I got for you in Downtown Disney. :)
 
MEEEEEEE!!!!! I really really want one of these. I hope they still have them in 36 days!!

They had eleventeen thousand of them everywhere, so I am guessing they had at least 36 days' worth. Which ones do you like best?


I love going on Pop shopping trips with you. Those Mickey statues are really odd.

I am glad you found your e-mail about your canceled session today. I am glad you were able to find another one so that your October trip isn't messed up.

They are different, but I think the younger people like them a lot. They seem to be pretty popular.

They would have just had to dock my pay or stand me in a corner or whatever, because I was not cancelling Disney World for this! :upsidedow



Yes, I think we should walk around some more this morning since you aren't off to a workshop. :goodvibes

Okay, I suppose we will walk around some more in a little bit, then.

They still have both monorail shirts at Pop, so if you want the red print one, just call and order one.

It really bothers me that I just can't walk like normal any more. If anybody wants to be racing through the parks with the group, I do. I think I'll give one a try at least some of the time on the next big trip. If we're just going out for a short time, I won't use it, but if we're going to be out for hours, I will. I wish they'd invent a foldable one that I could just walk on and off the bus with like we do with the strollers. :goodvibes
