From Pop to the Top - Funtastic Adventures in the Summer Sun!

[momof2TNboys]

My mother-in-law has the same problems with her hips and knees. She really is almost debilitated. She really wants to see WDW with my boys while they are young, but she has such a hard time walking. You should go see a good podiatrist for your feet. THat is what I would do for my patients.

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?

Yes, please!!!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

MEEEEEEE!!!!! I really really want one of these. I hope they still have them in 36 days!!

They also have them at disneyshopping.com on sale!

MeMom, as usual loved the shopping pics!

I'm going to throw my unsolicited 2 cents in on the ECV...
Get one.
I saw you.
More than once.
You love Disney and it would be much more fun if you didn't hurt so bad.

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.

Keep us informed on here cause if I can make it happen I would love to make it to a DIS meet!

I only saw you once, but it is my job to be observant and I agree completely.

I do need to see a doctor, I know. I am sure the first thing he would say is LOSE WEIGHT, which has gotten harder with not being able to walk. I have very poor circulation, I know, because my feet and hands are always cold. I just don't like going to doctors. They cost a lot of money (read: Disney dollars) and they always find something wrong!

Yes, please!!!

Okay, we'll walk. But I may ride, if it's okay with you.

How did I know you have already been on disneyshopping even after just getting back from Disney World?!?!?!?

Did I look that bad?

We will let you know whenever we make plans for Georgia meets. I hope reelmom can come next time, too.

Now I really feel bad! I thought I was looking pretty chipper when we stood around in the Emporium talking. It's a good thing you don't see me when I first get out of bed and I'm holding on from one piece of furniture to the next to get to the bathroom.

I wish we had video of the kids looking over those lollipops.


*****************************

Okay, take your laptop and start walking like Quasimodo, and you'll be seeing things the way I saw them on Morning One.

First, I went by to take a peek at my favorite waffle irons.

Then, a picture of some of the breakfast choices from another section.

Now back toward the room, but the long way, so I could get pictures.

You can see a person's legs behind the front wheel. Unless you see a person, you can't really comprehend how big this thing is. Those of you who have been to Pop know what I mean. Or if you have been to any of the All-Stars and know how big those icons are - they are three stories and Pop is four. Anyway, they are big.

I think these are pretty.

Mickey and Minnie were up.

Brooklynn woke up and wanted to walk down to see the water.

I had gotten postcards for declansdad to surprise Declan with on Christmas Day.

I hope you get them okay. Seems like it takes a couple of weeks to get things to Canada.

The poster in my room had so many things my kids had grown up with.

I stepped on Wuzzles a few times back in those days.

Jill's bunch woke up and went to get breakfast.

We didn't plan to hit a park first thing so that the girls could get some water time.

My two precious babies.

Bella is now old enough to enjoy the kiddie pool, too.

Look at that belly!

 

[Lady Lallie]

WUZZLES!! I love the Wuzzles. I want to stay at Pop in the 80's section so I can see that poster. I have a bootleg dvd of the Wuzzles that I bought last year. I adore it. That was probably my FAVORITE cartoon growin up.

Okay...I'm going to go calm down now...

On the ECV, or is ECV...whatever...DO IT. When I had that horrible blister incident in '09, I was self concious but it made me feel so much better!

 

[Charleston Princess]

What a nice walk around Pop! I love all those big icons from my childhood days! I can't begin to tell you how much I wanted a Mickey Mouse phone! I always thought that was just the coolest! My mom never gave into to me on that, though.

My brother used to love Tailspin and Rescue Rangers -- for some reason, I always seemed to find myself watching them with him. LOL!

And let's not forget when The Little Mermaid came out! I was a freshman in high school, and my best friend and I went to see it in the theater. L.O.V.E.D. it!!! Of course, being an angst-ridden teenager, I really identified with Ariel and her desire to break free of her world.

 

[Believeinfairytales]

Wonderful morning walk! Breakfast looks yummy, too.

In my book, nothing beats a morning swim.

 

[momof2TNboys]

Hey now, doctors are not so bad. At least I don't think I am bad You just have to find the right doctor that will help you and listen to your problems. I am the kind of doctor that likes to Dis between patients

I loved Cooper and Brooklyn with the lollipops also. They were so cute! Of course, I then forgot that Cooper had one and almost walked out!

 

[MagicShell]

I love breakfast at WDW. I am not a big breakfast eater at home, but at WDW it is better. But, isn't everything?

My mom had to rent an ECV on our last trip. She didn't want to, but it was the only way she could keep up with her grandchildren. She has back problems and could hardly walk by the end of our trip.

 

[Ty's Nonnie]

Sorry that your workshop got canceled and therefore messes up your camp week. But, we let nothing mess up our Disney trips right? I know how you feel when it comes to being in pain with every step. I don't have much pain in my feet anymore, but my right knee that I will have to have replaced kills me even walking around the grocery store. I have limped around for 18 years since I injuried my knee in a fall and since I bare all my weight on the other leg my hip and back give me issues. After my short trip last Nov I was almost to the point where I knew the ECV was my next step if I was ever going to be able to enjoy my trips. Denny says that he won't go if I have to have a Evc he has no idea how it feels to hurt with every step. So, even though it will cost me lots of Disney money I have made an appointment with my Ortho doc to see if I can get some shots in my knee before my trip to help me along. Since I will only be 46 in Oct. they want me to wait as long as I can to have my replacement because I would need another in about 10 to 12 years and they told me the second one is harder on you. And , by the way I have lost almost 40 pounds since April and it still hurts! Losing weight doesn't really help when it's bone on bone rubbing with every step. Thankfully I have a pool I get in everyday and exercise because I can't walk to get my exercise. I don't know what I'll do when it gets cold and I can't get in it.

On a brighter note! I get more and more excited for my trip with every picture. Can't wait to see more and can never get enough of those beautiful girls. I hope Ty enjoys it. He is not known for having very much patience or a very long attention span so we'll see how it goes. No way would he lay down and go to sleep like Bella did. He would just get wilder and more grouchy. I even placed my son and his wife in front of us on the plane so he doesn't torture complete stangers on the plane.lol Pray for us because we will need it.

 

[shannon47142]

Because of all of your POP pictures, my aunt and I have scheduled some time next week to visit your second home! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful walks and pictures

 

[DWGal210]

Such a great picture of the girls!! How cute are they?!

My 2 cents on the ECV is do it if it makes things easier for you. It's no fun being in pain.

 

[DisneyJoo2008]

I LOVE that Disney Bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I just LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish wish wish someone would send me one from across the pond!!!

But will keep my fingers crossed they still sell them this time next year (hmmm unlikely!)

Great pics as usual! xxx

 

[vamassey1]

I love breakfast Disney especially at Pop. My favorite are waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. Now I'm so hungry.

The pool looks great. I'm sure the girls had a blast. Better to get some pool time in first. That's all our kids ever want to do. "When can we go swimming?"

 

[WrightFamily06]

We look forward to staying at the new place. Brooklynn will love the themes!

I will take a picture of all of my souvenirs - maybe today. Jill took pictures of hers already, but hasn't put them up yet.

These seminars are just a reminder that school is still out there waiting for me in a few more weeks. I can't complain, though, because I had almost all of June free. it was nice.

I sure Brooklynn & Bella will both love all the new themes , If we could fit in a value I'm sure my kiddies would love it too !

Can't wait to see all you & Jill's great souvenirs

Yes, it sounds like you've had a pretty good summer vacation When does school start for you & your students ?

Nice updates

Those Vinylmation figurines are starting to grow on me , your close- up from the Pop gift shop .

Shopping pictures are the best !!

I've never had a Pop waffle but every-time I see your pictures of the irons , they seem to be my favorite too . lol

The other breakfast fares look very yummy too , we don't get to eat CS breakfast that much at WDW , we bring stuff from home to eat or have a TS ressie so it's nice to see there offerings in your pictures

Adorable pictures of the girls in there bathing suits , they really do love the water , don't they ?

 

[TCKK]

Just wanted to share this picture my oldest DD just texted me. She's in Orlando with her youth group for International Youth Convention and they are spending today at WDW. Their group did community service and got a free 1 day pass.

Mama's trying really hard not to be jealous

 

[wigdoutdismom]

No....
You didn't look bad at all!
I could just tell that you hurt.
Disney is a horrible place to hurt, you know that.
So much physical exertion just to get around, the girls would enjoy riding around with you too!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

MeMom, if you think an ECV would help you be in less pain, then by all means...at least give it a try. It's no fun not feeling 100% at WDW. And with someone who loves Disney as much as you especially!

I love your shopping and Pop pictures. And you are right, those icons are simply HUGE! I just loved them when we stayed at Pop. It was the perfect resort for our first trip.
