Good Morning my DIS friends!

I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!!:cloud9: Yesterday we spent the day at the Roger Williams Zoo in Rhode Island, it was the PERFECT day for it, sunny with a nice cool breeze!! We have a family membership that we bought with the money Todds parents gave us at Christmastime for the kids, she always asks us to get them something special and I like using them on memberships so that we can enjoy something all year long. Anyways, thought I'd share a pic of the kids....the background reminds me of somewhere in Epcot. Can you tell I have Disney on the brain or what?:confused3

And with that....our second day at Epcot plans!

The hours are 8-9 EMG this day, we plan to have a snack breakfast and then off to Epcot. Our plan is to finish what we didn't the other day, whether it's Kim Possible and the World Showcase or just do a little of everything. I'd like to look into the Disney Visa Photo op some more, anyone do this before? Tips, thoughts? This day we have two ressies.....one I booked at 180 days at San Angel Inn in Mexico, I love the atmosphere here, we love the boat ride with Donald beforehand, the volcano, the dark cooler temps and feeling like we're in Mexico! :cloud9: We have 12:30 ressies this day. BUT....we also have ressies at 11:30 at Via Napoli!!! I called last week when they started taking reservations and managed to get us booked for lunch this day, too! I was so excited!!!:wizard: I know, I need to cancel one, just not sure what to do. From what I've read, we need to try Via Napoli...but Adam isnt so sure about us using our TS for pizza....I think it's nice to try something new and since it just opened, it would be fun!:cloud9: Obviously, we need to come to a conclusion soon. :rolleyes:

With this being our last night....it would be nice to have a special night, haven't given much thought as to what we'll do. Any suggestions? We don't have hopper passes, so we're stuck in Epcot for this day. BUT if we don't end up going to MK on our "down" day...technically we have one day left to go someplace else, right?! Hmm.....:idea:

I hope you all have a nice Sunday! I'm off to work in a couple of hours so wanted to sneak in a quick update! Enjoy your days!:flower3:

ps- note my ticker....one month, one week!!!!!!!!!!!

Don just bought me a Pandora bracelet with 3 Disney Chamilia charms for our anniversary, I :love: it. Of course, he said he did it against his better judgement because he doesn't like to feed my addiction :laughing:
 
Good morning
Love the Epcot plans...low key but, sounds like you'll get to squeeze everything in! Nice! I think the kids would LOVE Kim Possible. We ate in France, in 2009 and sat outside at the bakery and we must have been right under a target because every two minutes there were kids with "walkie-talkie" thingies running up and using their controls. It was cute...mine were looking at me like "Mom?!? What is this that they're doing...that YOU don't know about?!?":confused3 Once we got home, we realized what it was and it's definately on our list for next time.
Not sure about which ressie to keep or not...Mexico is so good, so pretty...and inside and cool...a must have for September. But, Via Napoli...has it actually opened yet? Are there reviews yet?
Just to let you know...you're still killing me with the bracelets!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl:
Thanks Leighan, we need to be somewhat loose with our touring schedule with the little ones but think that KP may be fun for everyone, from the sounds of it! We definately have it on our list of things we need to do!

I think you may be right about trying Via Napoli, it did opne a couple of weeks ago and it's getting good reviews! Hmm....still thinking we need to try it since we've done Mexico before, you know?

I know, i've created quite the frenzy with my bracelet, haven't I? I love it though and know you would, too!


Definately get the Visa pic!!!! I believe the times are 1:30-4:30pm each day and it's located inside Innoventions (if you're just entering the park, it's the Innoventions to your right), but a CM can direct you to it quite easily. Make sure you have your Disney Visa with you because they check it. In Jan, we got to see Mickey & Minnie together and in June we saw Minnie & Goofy. The photopass photographers take a bunch of pics (your family entering the room, getting hugs from the characters, etc). Then, before you leave the park, go to the Camera Center (located under SE) to pick out your photo (you can even add a border!). We've gotten some great photos there.

I obviously would pick Via Napoli (since we have an ADR there too) and we're not big into Mexican food. Plus, I always like trying out a new place, but going back to the old favs is nice too.

Which day of the week are you on now? I've lost track...is it Monday? Hmm....I don't remember where we'll be that day, but it's not Epcot (we're there Fri and Sat).

Thanks for the DV info, Meghan! I have it on my list for sure! Sounds great!:thumbsup2

I think you're right, we need to try Via Napoli, new is always nice to try!


That's awesome! I remember when we were going on our first cruise, a DISer sent the kids a postcard and they absolutely loved it! They probably wouldn't get too excited now... :sad2:


So much fun for the kids, they were SO excited! It's the little things in life, right?

My vote is to keep the Via Napoli! Sounds wonderful!!! Does your DH realize it's not just regular CS pizza?


I think you're right, I've talked to him more and he's game, worth a try for sure!
My understanding is that you can't do this. Even if you have an extra day on your passes, you can only enter one park on any given day. :confused3

Hmm....I think you're right.....BOO! Now what?:sad2:
 
Hi Everyone!!:flower3:

Sorry for the lack of updates this week, we have been soaking up the sun and spending as much time as possible at the beach, with school starting in just a couple of weeks and such a busy Summer of not getting in our beach time, i'm milking things!:thumbsup2 Everyone is happier at the beach! :laughing:

I know that I owe a lot of your responses, I promise, I'm getting to them!

This weekend is a busy one for us.....tonight Todd and I are going to see the Red Sox play, I was born and raised here in MA, but have never seen a game at Fenway before! I am SO excited!!! We are dropping our boys off on the Cape so they can sleep at Grammy and Grandpas and heading to Boston. We haven't had a date in forever, so I'm looking forward to it!:banana: Tomorrow afternoon a friend of mine is getting married on the Cape, so Todd & I will attend that and then pick up the boys and come home. So I'm pretty sure that there will be no time to DIS. :guilty:

It's a new week next week....I'll update soon! I hope that you all have wonderful weekends!!:goodvibes

Hi Tonya,
Thanks for coming out of lurking, glad you're here!!!! :goodvibes I think I love our Disney movie night just as much as the boys do!! :cloud9: It's been fun watching some old ones lately. What are your dates? We're not doing MNSSHP, we went back and forth but decided as a group that it wasn't worth the expense with the 10 of us and the real little ones. I've heard wonderful things about it, I hope you have a blast!!!:yay: What are you dressing as? Are you doing a PTR? :) Sorry 20 questions!! LOL!!

Seeing your ME stickers gave me butterflies!!! LOL!!!

They are the best, aren't they Alicia!!:love:
My thoughts exactly! :lmao:
:laughing:

I suggested this bracelet to Joe and he hardly heard me. :sad2: I should bring it up again - "easy gift honey!!!"

Say it again!!!!!! Or give me his email address, I'll suggest it to him! :laughing: Did you end up getting your MIL one?

Don just bought me a Pandora bracelet with 3 Disney Chamilia charms for our anniversary, I :love: it. Of course, he said he did it against his better judgement because he doesn't like to feed my addiction :laughing:

Don is such a good guy! Which ones did you get?:confused3 Love them, there are so many pretty ones!

Yes, even though he is a Disney resister, he is a good guy :lovestruc

He got me the 'Dreams come true' one, a blue one with a Mickey silhouette on it and a Tink. I wasn't sure I was going to keep the Tink one at first because it dangles and I didn't think I wanted any that dangled, but I've worn it a few times and it doesn't bother me and she's really cute so I think I'll keep her. :thumbsup2

Aww so cute! I was wondering how those dangley ones feel too and if they catch on things? I want the "Dreams Come True" one so much! Love it!!:love: Those bracelets are so much fun!
 
I just had to say 30 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!:yay::cheer2::dance3::banana::cool1:

My boys are at my parents, we'll start our sticker countdown tonight before bed! I can't believe it, it's getting sooooo close, yay!!!!:woohoo:
