Actually I'm happy to see the new mugs; we have too many of the old ones. I will probably go with the blue.
We'll see how long they keep these going. You could end up with several of these, too. Blue is a nice choice.
The sight of the empty pool is so sad. . . .
So glad if will be filled again before your next trip.
Thanks for shopping for us once again. So much to see.
I am happy to shop for the gang. It really makes me not buy so much.
I want a yellow mug!! Yellow is my favorite color! I wish they had resort specific mugs too. It makes me feel special.
Keep up the shopping pics.
It looks like there will be plenty of yellow ones, since most everyone is partial to blue.
Ooooh! Already shopping with MeMom!! I'll definintely need a new mug and some 40th anniversary merchandise on the next trip!! I've only had one pair of classic mouse ears myself! Well, I have Minnie doodle-boppers and the Santa hat but not classic ears! That pizza looks pretty good too...
That was one of the few things I said I was going to get this trip, but I kept waiting and just never did. I also want the tree ornament. However, I could use the ears for my tree topper, and then I wouldn't need the ornament. Hmmmm....I have to think about this.
to the crowds at ME! I hope you guys didn't wait TOO long there. I always find that I'm sweating by the time we make it down there and over from the other side of MCO
I'm loving the 40th anniversary stuff! I totally think I'm going to get those ears and a new pink lid mug is definitely on the list as well.
It really was weird to see the picture of the drained Hippy Dippy Pool! But, all the better for you to enjoy now in July
Interested to hear this bathroom story that I heard a bit of on FB...
The potty trip was not as quick as we expected, but there was a good side to that in the long run.
Notice I didn't say
in the end.
Since it was a potty story, I didn't think it would be appropriate.
I really like the blue one the best, I was thinking Pink for Jamie The yellow is actually growing on me......I agree with you though, it would be nice to have some more choices!
We need to find some green and orange lids to take with us, and maybe purple. I bet we'll have people asking where we got
those cups.
I love the 40th anniversary merchandise, all of it is so cute! I wonder what they're going to design in 10 more years, that stuff is bound to be awesome!
And taking pictures of napkins is totally acceptable. Particularly Disney napkins. I like that design. Very festive.
What day will the 50th celebration be on. I need to book that trip. I hope I am around to see it.
Me too - I look fondly at my resort specific mugs but I am excited about the new ones.
Yes I was at the treehouse meet. Maroo dragged me. Big crowd in the treehouse- we were a little worried about that thing staying up.
I really need to check that out more since I went but have not had the time.
The 5K this year is through AK. I hope I can do that AND make park opening at MK. My knee is not happy with all this activity so I am going to see the "knee guy" Thursday. Hopefully he can just help stabailize it better and deal with it. I am hoping he won't suggest surgery but if it will help and have a short down time I am game for that too.
I don't think I knew you knew her. We met her at Opry Mills, along with All7ofUs. Erica and Dawn were there, too.
What was your prize?
Hope the knee can be fixed up so you can run.
I am finally here! Wow, I haven't logged on since January 26. I'm going back to catch up.
Well, girl, it is time you got back to the fun!
Oh my goodness I was at the Treehouse Meet as well!!! Too bad I wasn't on the Dis then! Next time
The 40th Anniversary Merchandise - OMG I couldn't stop haha. I bought all 6 of the special Vinylmation and a mug. I wanted so much more but just kept reminding myself I'll be back in May haha
It was sooo sad to see the Hippy Dippy Pool closed My trip was very quick that weekend and we really wanted to take a few minutes to grab a drink and dip our toes in the pool. We still grabbed the drink (loveee the Pina Colava) but it just didn't taste the same without the pool being open.
I wish Mike would do a live thing from MK on October 1st. That would be cool.
I heard about your Vinylmation purchases. You'll have to show us some!
Shopping with MeMom!! I have to tell you how much I truly enjoy that time of the day!!! I love looking at all the wonderful items Disney has to offer, well my DH and wallet...not so much LOL!!
I really need to open up my puzzle and get started on it!! I love it!!! I also want a set of those ears...they are just too cute!!!!! Lots of great stuff!!
POP is such a great resort!!
OOOH wrong and right move???? Can't wait to hear all about that!
Pop is a fun place. We love it. We plan to test the waters at AoA, and I wonder if it will feel special, too, since we've watched it grow up.
Splashing things happened in the bathroom.
That's all I will say about it for now.
So if you're looking at doing something after the morning at MK, I have a suggestion: EPCOT!!! Right now our plan is for me to wake up early and run in the 5K (I think it starts at 7am), then when I'm done with that Anna and Luke are gonna head to MK while Seth and I relax at Pop. Then we're gonna meet back at EPCOT around lunch-ish time and graze the F&W Festival, then dinner at Kouzzina's around 6:00 (although I don't know how much we'll need dinner reservations after the F&W Festival, but we're getting free dining so we might as well use it!). Then Seth and I are gonna call it an early night (saving our energy for some other later nights) and Anna and Luke will probably go back to MK for the fireworks/parade. Anyway, you know I'd love to actually spend time with you guys at Disney World! What are your dates again?
We might do that.
Can we ride Nemo?
Can we? Can we? Huh?
I want to watch Seth's face.
We're planning to be there by Friday night, open MK, and if all goes well, stay until the afternoon of the 5th, which is Jill's birthday. We'd only have to take three days off of school, and we'd have all day Sa-Su-M-T and then half a day Wed. That's not set in stone, but we definitely plan to be there on the 1st.
What an exciting start for Jill and Bella. I love Brooklynn's luggage tag, so grown-up to be able to write her name herself.
Your meal sounds delicious!! I'm going to have to take after you and do a themed Disney meal down here.
I love the smell of Pop chocolate chip cookies. It's mouthwatering.
I'm imagining working at Animation Suites, that would be so awesome!
I can't recall if I have seen a Pop pool emptied before this picture. I want to say I have but I'm not certain.
I know Duffy is just a way to spend more money at Disney but I find him so cute with all his little outfits. I love the new mugs, I would get one with a pink lid as well. I just send my dad a text just in case he decides to go and pick some up. Oh! the napkins are so cute too!
I was wondering the same thing, apparently I was missing out on several good Disney sites but they are now bookmarked.
I can't wait to take many pictures of all the new stuff across the lake. Do you think they'll keep them separate or open the bridge? Has Ed heard anything?
Yes, have some Disney parties down there to keep the happiness going!
Enjoy the new podcasts. With them on the endcaps of the week and DIS and Lou Mongello in the middle, you can have a lot of Disney fun.
Hi you guys! I'm needing a Disney fix! I'm sorry I've not been around much lately. But I'm on board now for this report. Loving the pictures and comments so far. The girls are getting so big and are totally adorable! I haven't been here much to see them, but I've been keeping an eye on them on FB.
I love this Minnie! She's so cute. I also love the new mugs. I
need a pink one! I think I'll have to try to make a stop when we go pick up our oldest from college in May. We're talking about maybe trying to squeeze just 1 day in at a park. Maybe with a little
we can get that to happen!
I hope you get that one day!
We've missed you around here, but I know how hard it is to keep up with life, much less visit around here.
I'm joining in! Thank you ever so much for those photos of the construction of the new Animation value resort coming soon. I love seeing that kind of stuff. Too bad the Hippy Dippy pool was drained. Must've been pretty packed at the other pools! I see you'll be going back in July to face the unrelenting Disney heat. I'm glad to see I'm not the only crazy one I'll be back at the end of July
We're used to the heat. It when it works out for us to go, so we go. I will say, though, I am very fond of October weather for trips.
I wish i could go at the end of July, too, for my birthday, but we'll be getting ready to start school, and we'll be working on a birthday party for an up and coming 5 year old Kindergarten girl that we hold dear.
Oh! the napkins are so cute too!
