I bet Brooklyn would love to ride the teacups with Ben-he likes to spin, spin, spin soooo fast! He's gotten so strong now that he got us going more than usual and I actually felt :sick: and told him to stop for a minute. It only lasted a few minutes but I've never felt sick before on that ride. Next time I think I'll just let he and Ellie go so they don't have to slow down for their ole' momma!

I can't wait to see your bulletin boards!! I've got to find a way to get some Disney into my room!:goodvibes
 
I love the dwarf shirts!! I looked at them when we were there in May. Can't wait to see your room. When my husband was teaching, he would throw up a bulletin board at the last minute. He had middle school so I guess it was less frilly for bulletin boards but my husband is not into decorations. If I was a teacher, I would have Disney everywhere. I wish I could put Disney pictures in my office but the patients may think they are at a pediatrician's office.:lmao:
 
I want to help another teacher who seems to have a long way to go yet, since she had to change rooms. I probably will, since I don't really have anything important to do around here.

That is so nice of you! I've had to change rooms many times and it seems like I'm scrambling to get everything finished.

When I get all my Disney stuff in the room, I'll share pictures. I got an e-mail yesterday that Rafiki is on his way! :woohoo: [/B][/COLOR]

Can't wait to see pictures! :woohoo: for Rafiki!
 
We will look forward to seeing the progress. Just don't get caught by the 'nothing' CM! :laughing:

I won't :rotfl: If I do I will just inform them that the peeking was disboards approved lol

Nice updates :thumbsup2

Love the pictures of Toontown ! Wonder what will happen in that area , your right so many conflicting rumors . Only time will tell !

DD asked if we were able to get the Minnie purses that were in the first picture to match. lol I told her maybe one for her lol

Love all the detailed pictures of The Dwarf's Mine Shop ! Such a cute shop that could get easily looked over .

Can't wait to see more popcorn::popcorn::popcorn::
 

DH loves it that I can get so much useful info here on the boards but doubt he'll be so pleased with me in a months time when I'm climbing up onto benches and walking into things in girft shops because I'm busy looking at the ceiling :rolleyes1
 
Awww the picture of Bella taking down the Mickeys is WAY too cute!!! YAY for a great time in ToonTown...there are so many details there its hard to see it all!! Once again you pointed out things I had never seen before!

I can't wait to get into my room! I'm hoping late next week to get in there, right now being the new teacher and not having any idea which of the two rooms I will have and having no keys makes it a bit difficult!! Hope to see pictures of your room!! I am going to head to Wally World soon for supplies and to get some things to personalize my room!

Can't wait to read more!
 
LOL! Those Mickey and Minnie's are about Bella's same size. Little peanut that she is. :) I'm glad you two got to have a little bonding time. We ate at Cosmic Ray's a couple times on our last trip. I like the burger bar.
 
I think I have found some new t-shirts! Thanks MeMom.

The video with the Mad Hatter is cute but I don't think I have seen Brooklynn so reserved in a video before.

She was pretty much speechless.

You are pre-spending your Disney money, huh? :laughing:



Sounds GREAT! We don't have definite dates yet, just in that range somewhere. Joe wanted the spring and I instantly said it had to be during the F&GF! We can keep each other posted as the trips develop.

I read one of your responses to another DISer about following around Bella being an attraction - and just the great balance you had between group time and being able to spend time with each girl and how great that was. It made me grin ear to ear. It really does sound like a magical trip!!!!!

I look forward to pictures of your room! You teachers are so creative, I remember as a child being in awe of the room decorations on the first few days of school! I bet the kids LOVE yours with all the Disney stuff!

I will be limited to spring break week. I will look on our school calendar. Jill is hoping to maybe get two days off to put with a weekend. What we might do is all go down together on Friday night, let her fly back with Bella either Monday or Tuesday, depending on what she'll be able to get, then Brooklynn stay with me and our friend, Kay, until maybe Thursday evening. Since Kay doesn't get to go often, she wants to do 5-6 days as opposed to a short trip, so that plan will hopefully work. Jill will only have to travel home with one kid, and Brooklynn can have some extra Disney time with us.


Okay, I went and looked at the calendar. Maybe what we will do is get an early morning Saturday flight (12th), be there by lunch, and get the late Thursday night flight home (17th). I like arriving in the daytime much better than at night, and that would save paying for a room Friday night. Now we will hope SW has an early flight on Saturday for a reasonable price.


Loved your last update - that picture of Bella looking so satisfied with herself after pulling all the Mickey's off the shelf is priceless!

It's been a long time since I've walked through Toontown so I really enjoyed all of your detailed pictures, seems a shame that it's all going away.

She was having a good time. :goodvibes

We'll see what ends up happening to Toontown, but in case it disappears completely, I want a lot of pictures of how it was.



As always, I have thoroughly enjoyed your update! Thanks for all of the great pictures you take! Like a PP said, you notice the details. It really helps put a lot of "Disney" in my ho-hum days!

I am very glad to be able to put some Disney in your days. I do the same thing for myself at school, and it definitely helps!



Whenever I need a Disney fix your pics always do the trick! I love all the details you take pics of!
Looking forward to seeing pics of your room!

As soon as Rafiki arrives, I'll finish the room and show you the room. A few things are the same as last year, and some things I changed.



She looks so proud of herself.

Love looking at Disney through your eyes. I can't wait to see it with my eyes.

Love the videos. Brooklynn looks like she is not sure who the Mad Hatter is. Alexia gets the same look on her face when she isn't sure of something too.

And we can't wait for you to see it all, too! :dance3:

I don't think Brooklynn could even hear what Mad Hatter was saying part of the time.



I bet Brooklyn would love to ride the teacups with Ben-he likes to spin, spin, spin soooo fast!

I can't wait to see your bulletin boards!! I've got to find a way to get some Disney into my room!

I told her not to spin too much so that I could get pictures. I pretended that I was really scared when we started turning, and she smiled so big. :laughing:

Just get some Disney pictures, posters, magnets, or whatever and stick them around the room. They will bring happiness - I promise. :)

I wish I could put Disney pictures in my office but the patients may think they are at a pediatrician's office.

I put enough Disney in to make me happy, but not so much that anybody questions it. I don't want anyone telling me to take it down because it is too much, so I keep it in control. So far, no problems. :thumbsup2



That is so nice of you! I've had to change rooms many times and it seems like I'm scrambling to get everything finished.

Can't wait to see pictures! :woohoo: for Rafiki!

Four rooms on my hall are being taken by new/different teachers, so there is a LOT of moving going on! The dollies are in great demand this week. :laughing:



I won't If I do I will just inform them that the peeking was disboards approved lol

Nice updates

She will have to have one of those purses, at least. I think they are very cute!

I would really love to see them keep those houses, or even update them or something. I hope they don't completely do away with them.



DH loves it that I can get so much useful info here on the boards but doubt he'll be so pleased with me in a months time when I'm climbing up onto benches and walking into things in girft shops because I'm busy looking at the ceiling

You can blame it all on me. I am a bad influence. :)
I will try to tell you some helpful things to offset that.
Ask me some questions, so I can answer and be in his good graces.

I wanted to get so many things from Animal Kingdom this summer to put in my classroom. I decided to wait until I get my room money, though, and I'll get some things in October.

Really, I just want to have my own Conservation Station in my classroom. :thumbsup2



LOL! Those Mickey and Minnie's are about Bella's same size. Little peanut that she is. I'm glad you two got to have a little bonding time. We ate at Cosmic Ray's a couple times on our last trip. I like the burger bar.

She pulled them off one at a time, then stood up in approval of the job she had done. She's a crazy little girl. :cutie:

It seems like we had thought about eating somewhere else, but then ended up there for some reason. We were happy to let the girls see Sonny Eclipse, because usually when we eat there, we don't go down into that section.

You are so sweet to keep Brooklynn for a few more days! She will love that special time with her MeMom. And I'm certain Jill will appreciate the break on the plane! :goodvibes

Our dates will overlap, we are going to do around 7 days, somewhere between the 10th and the 20th-whenever airfare is the cheapest/we can get a room. Our 7 month window for DVC opens in September, so I'll know more then. :thumbsup2
 
Hey MeMom, as much as I would have liked to fulfill BOTH your requests and get you one of each AND some pictures from the Disney Store today...well, here are some pictures! :laughing: Let me know if you guys see anything you want me to check on. :)

(Sorry, they're not great; I took them with my phone.)

Enjoyed the tour of ToonTown!

This working in our rooms really means summer vacation is over, doesn't it?

We will see you at some point then. :)

I am hoping our plan can work out like that. That will give Jill as many days as she can have and Kay as many days as she wants, and there will be no worry over Jill trying to travel with two children. :thumbsup2

I love to see our Disney friends all lined up and ready to go home with kids (and grown-up kids) who will love them. :goodvibes

Thanks for the pictures. It really is not fun to not even have a Disney Store to visit to get a magical fix in between trips. I'm still pretty aggravated at whatever Disney executive decided to take all three of our Nashville stores!!! :headache:

Any time you go, feel free to share pictures with those of us who don't have a store any more. I love seeing the merchandise, and I know Jill does, too.



Enjoyed the tour of ToonTown!

This working in our rooms really means summer vacation is over, doesn't it?

I really pushed it in my room and got as much done as I could in those two days this week. Then I stopped for at least Th-F-Sa-Su. I will go back when Rafiki arrives next week and try to finish up in one day. We have a 'deal' where if we spend eight hours in the room before our first official work day, we get an extra hundred dollars. It's very easy to spend over eight hours, so that's a no-brainer!
 
After I made my way out of the mine (and let me assure you that an open mine like that is the only one I could ever dare go into :eek:), I took a quick walk through Sir Mickey's.

If you haven't already, make it a point to look at Disney ceilings when you are there next time. There are a lot of interesting things on the ceilings in so many of the stores.

I thought Jill would look cute in these pajamas, and I thought briefly about buying them for her, but this was a low budget trip. Sorry, Jill.

I'd like to get that shot without people in the background some early morning.
 
Jill doesn't care much for Hall of Presidents, so since I was alone, I took the opportunity to see it.

On the DIS Boards, DH stands for Dear/Disney Husband.

What does this DH stand for?

The Diamond Horsehoe Saloon.

Summer2010PoptotheTop323.jpg



Tinkgurl had inquired about these bathrooms being open, and I was happy to report to her that they were.

Summer2010PoptotheTop326.jpg


I saw a new towel that I didn't see any other place during the trip.

Summer2010PoptotheTop329.jpg


T-shirt at that same kiosk.
If only this could be true!

Summer2010PoptotheTop330.jpg


I caught just a bit of the castle show.

Back on Main Street,

Summer2010PoptotheTop337.jpg


I decided to get some ice cream and wait for the parade.

I chose a root beer float.

Summer2010PoptotheTop338.jpg


That's it for now. I'll just enjoy my root beer float until parade time.

Have a fantastic day, everyone! Mine will be, because I get to see all my girls tonight!!! :dance3:
 
What a way to start my day! You had some of my favorites in there this morning! We LOVE Hall of Presidents!!!!! :love: I got all teary-eyed watching it last year. When Abraham Lincoln stood up, even my DH was impressed. It all looks so real. Love it!! And we love the castle show too. I'm with you, there is just something about the princesses dancing with their princes that is very magical! :wizard: Love the picture of Main Street through the window. For a split second, I felt like I was standing right there. Which made me feel :lovestruc then :sad1: . To quote Marlin, "It's a complicated emotion!" :upsidedow . Hope you have a wonderful time tonight with your girls!
 
Lovely way to start my day!

I love Hall of Presidents. MeMom, have you seen the John Adams mini series that HBO made a few years ago? It is fantastic. I think a 6 part series, it is really well made.
 
I liked the shirts in Sir Mickey's! I am on the look-out for a shirt for myself. I keep buying the kids Disney clothes, and on my last trip to the Disney Store I bought one for my husband. He said they'd all wear their new shirts on our first day at Magic Kingdom, but I don't have one. :confused3 I don't like regular t-shirts with a rounded collar-I almost exclusively wear v-neck shirts. I am hoping I can find one at DTD because we are headed there on our arrival day. Then I can match my family.:thumbsup2

Less than three weeks!!!

I can't wait for the parade pictures.
 
I love starting off my morning with a stroll around the Magic Kingdom!

I almost bought the coral Summer Fun t-shirt, but chose a different one instead!

Hmmm, I wonder if I could get away with having a root beer float this morning. :rolleyes:
 
What fun detail in the shops. I need to pay more attention! And I am with you on the all play, no work philosophy. :thumbsup2 Wouldn't that be great??

Have fun tonight with your girls! :goodvibes
