Steve is absolutely adorable!~

Thanks

Great picture itinerary!!! I love your MNSSHP pictures. We cannot wait to go to that party!!! I know it's gonna be great!!!

And Steve, Oh my, he is precious. All of those kittens look identical. How cute!!! He looks like he's going to be very cuddly. And what a cute name. Steve

MNSSHP is a lot of fun. I think that you'll really enjoy it!

My family isn't thrilled with Steve's name but I like to give our pets names that I'd give people.

Steve is too cute!!

Thanks.

Hi,
Finally caught up. The plans sound great. You change as much as I do.

The kitties are adorable.

Looking forward to hearing more of the plans.

Hi!

Nice to have you with us. I do change plans a lot along the way. My family just let's me run with it and they ask no questions along the way. It's probably better that way.

Thanks. We love our kitties. I'd have more if I could.

Steve is adorable. That face is to die for.

I could not resist!

Ohmigoodness I love him, he is just too cute

How long til he can come home?

I think he is coming home in 2 or 3 weeks. I need to check back and get a firm date. I can't wait and I sure hope the other kitties like him as much as we do. Somehow, I don't think that will happen.

Aww bless, bet you can't wait and I am sure the others will adjust to him, he so little after all

I'm so hoping that they all get along. I'm glad that when we are on vacation that my cousin will be watching them. I am a bit worried about leaving them alone but knowing that she will be here certainly helps matters!

 

[Stefy]

Oh thats good, although if it was me I would be tempted to smuggle him into my bag as he's so small

 

[Sleepingbooty]

Depending on how hot it is, Joe may want one of these:

Now we're talkin'!

Great updates - love all the pics. Steve is so cute! Makes me want another...

 

[HeatherBelle614]

Is Boma really good?? I'm debating an ADR there for breakfast since we'll be there now. I have a feeling we'll be going to Mara for those zebra domes hourly!

BTW, you're the reason I have demanded to eat at EOS this time! We've never gone!!

Love the MNSSHP pictures. I'm so very excited!!!!!!

O.M.G. new baby! He's precious! How long until he gets to come home?

I can't wait to get him. Seems like it is taking forever!

Now we're talkin'!

He loves the Dole Whips!

Great updates - love all the pics. Steve is so cute! Makes me want another...

I'd get more if Joe would let me but we're now officially at the limit.

I think you should try BOMA, especially if you're going to be staying there. And OMG, I can't wait for the zebra domes. Honestly, it is ridiculous that I think about them all the time.

BTW, you're the reason I have demanded to eat at EOS this time! We've never gone!!

I don't think you will be disappointed. I'm just happy that we don't have EOS around here or I'd be twice as heavy!!

Love the MNSSHP pictures. I'm so very excited!!!!!!


You'll love the party!!

O.M.G. new baby! He's precious! How long until he gets to come home?

I'm still not sure when we get to bring him home. I keep asking though!

Oh my, Steve is sooo cute!

He is, isn't he.......

I left off at Day 6.

We plan to start Day 6 at Roaring Forks. I know, you're all thinking....AGAIN?

My sister and I want to stick to our diets as much as possible. The rest of the family will be able to get what they want there and we'll be able to get some fruit, or yogurt, etc.

Today we plan to go here:

We plan to spend the day in Future World. I really like FW. First, we'll see if there are any FP's left for Soarin. I've only ridden once. Can you believe it?

While we're there we will ride Living with the Land. My mom just loves that ride. She wants her garden to look like that.

Next, we will probably end up here:

We'll check out the Seas with Nemo and Friends and walk around to see all the fishies for a bit. Hopefully it will be time for Soarin by then.

After Soarin, we'll have lunch at Sunshine Seasons. They have a great thing going. You can get just about anything there. Here is a picture from the last time we ate there. It's the first time Joe tried to use the remote for our camera. We looked like dorks doing it but we could care less.

After lunch I imagine that we'll go to Innoventions for a bit.

We want to do the garbage game again, the piggy back game, etc.

Depending on time, we plan to go to Ellen's (for a nappy for Joe ). We also want to ride this too:

We will get in as much as we can before our late afternoon break. We want to get back to the resort, rest a bit, freshen up and head over to here for our dinner ADR:

All I can say is OMG! If you don't try the avgolemono soup, I feel sorry for you. Doesn't look like much but it is a "mouth full of joy" as they say in that one stupid cereal commercial that I hate.

For desert, it's the galakombouriko (or as those of you who read my TR from last year know....gotta let your booty grow ). This is the bomb! Trust me!

After we stuff our faces, I want to go back to Epcot. I'm not sure if the rest of the family will go, but my brother said he'd go with me if I wanted to do something when everyone else doesn't. My plan is to see more of Future World, shop at Mouse Gear and then see this:

Craptastic picture but I struggle getting decent shots of Illuminations. The goal is to learn how to use my camera. Yep, I have been saying that for 2 years now. Stupid me, we got a professional series Rebel instead of the consumer model. Sheesh, I will get the hang of it one day. I believe a photography lesson or 10 may be necessary.

After Illuminations it will be time to head back to WL for the night.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. Joe and I planned to do a whole lot of NOTHING. It was great. On Saturday we went shopping. We didn't really need anything we just wanted to browse. Well, my dear friends at Target had a sale. I ended up redoing my bathroom. Wanna see????

I also decided to make a countdown calendar. Space is limited so I borrowed an idea from a PTR thread that I sub to and did cards instead. Here are pictures of the finished product. I plan to hang this on my bulletin board at work and then just flip the cards as the days go by. I put all sorts of stuff on these cards. There are Disney facts, facts about Walt, packing tips, park tips, milestones to deal with (45 days out stuff, 90 days out stuff, etc.). I had a lot of fun doing this. I used extra scrapbooking stuff that I had laying around. I didn't buy anything aside from the index cards. It was a lot of fun.

 

[Sleepingbooty]

I love that picture you got of Spaceship Earth up against that dark stormy sky - cool! And I thought your Illuminations photo was pretty good!

Very cool bathroom - did you say you got that stuff at Target??!! Love the handtowels especially.

It rained like no tomorrow the day I took that picture. I remember wondering just how long before it dumped on us. Did we leave? Of course not.... Rain just means more shopping at Mouse Gear.

Thanks. I have been trying to get better night shots.

Rebecca, yes I got the stuff from Target. On Clearance no less!

 

[Sleepingbooty]

Wow! Like recently? I've never seen Disney home items (except kid stuff) at Target before!! Of course, maybe they don't all carry the same things, but all the same, I need to check it out!

We got it on Saturday. I've never really looked before but we were just browsing and when I saw the mouse, I had to have it. They may have some of the stuff on line too.

Continuing with Day 7 - Happy Anniversary!!

This day will be our 10th wedding anniversary. Here are a few pictures of us on our wedding day:

This is my mom and I:

Joe and I

We're starting the day at our absolute favorite Disney breakfast....Kona. I'm not sure if I will go with the Tonga Toast this year or not. Being on Weight Watchers I find stuff like that too sweet now.

I'm sure though that Joe and probably my brother, will have the Big Kahuna.

I promised Joe a resort type day. Yeah, what was I thinking?

We may stop at DTD after breakfast then head back to the resort. We'll hang out (maybe by the pool if I can fit into a bathing suit this year) until it's time for our family photopass session. I am scheduling at WL this year. Here are a few shots from a couple of years ago when we did this at the Poly.

After our photo session we'll probably head back to the resort. I am going to see if Joe wants to go shopping at the "junk" stores in Kissimmee as we call them.

We're having dinner at the Yachtsman tonight with the family. We haven't been there in a couple of years but we both think that they have the best steak on property.

I've also scheduled our Wishes Cruise for this night. We cruised last year out of the GF Marina. I booked this year out of the WL Marina. I can't wait! I am hoping that our friends from Daytona will join us for the cruise. I have known my friend for over 40 years. She moved away when we were in the 5th grade. We've kept in touch and I have seen her only a few times over the last 35 years. She recently moved to FLA so I thought that this would be perfect.

Here are a couple of pictures from our boat last year and the cake that I ordered.

Great bathroom redo. I love it. I especially love the Disney pictures in there the Cinderella one is great.

I like your countdown calendar. I like that you wrote down fun facts and things on it. I may have to steal that idea if we go again.

 

[dismagiclover]

Love the wedding pictures! This sounds like a great day. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures from the WL photoshoot. We did the BC photoshoot last year and got some good shots. And I'm sure the Wishes cruise will be fabulous!

 

[wdwgirl03]

LOVE the bathroom and the countdown turned out great! I love how it has all those little bits of trivia.

I can't wait to see how the pictures come out. We've done the shoot at the Poly twice. One year the pictures were great, the next...not so much.

Loving all the recap pics and your plans sound awesome. Wishes Cruise!!! Sounds like so much fun.

BTW you need to go back to Target, get some more of the bathroom sets and then come over here and decorate our bathroom. DF is listing what he loves right now, the pictures, the hand soap dish, hand towels, shower curtain and Mickey Head soap dispenser, pretty much everything! But seriously great job, it looks awesome

Where did you get the Snow White poster from? My dream is to get loads of Classic Film posters framed for when we get our own place
