Please and thank you! I love that you take us shopping with you; I agree, you find the best merchandise!
We have a kissing Mickey and Minnie that my mother in law got for our rehearsal dinner. I admit, I'm not quite sure what to do with it.... I like subtle Disney too or items I can use in the kitchen.
Oh, and snow globes too. 
Thanks for saying
snowglobes quietly...and for not showing any pictures. I was already traumatized by the Alice in a Teapot ornaments, but I try to 'take one for Distown' when I can.
That's what I thought about Rapunzel's restrooms (does that sound funny to anyone else?) They were not open in October yet. So I have an excuse for not knowing that for sure.
Now I don't know WHY I didn't ever notice the lanterns! I know I don't spend a lot of time in that area, but really? I've even taken pictures of the tree and the sign at the base.
Bad Disney Fan!
Where is a scolding smilie? Next time I will be sure to notice!
There is actually a lot of cool history in the Liberty Square area. You should listen to the Lou Mongello CD where he does a tour of it and tells a bunch of facts.
Finally here! Loving the trip so far. Makes me want to go back!
Me, too. Every time I put pictures on the reports, I want to jump back into them and be there again.
That is seriously the cutest room ever! I know you had some hot water issues and not sure if there were others but oh, it is cute! I'm not 6 but I think that bed is cool too!
Glad you got to at least make it to MK even if everyone else pooped out. Long drives, pool time and dinner will do that sometimes.
Love the shopping as always and I just love the "feel" of CBR from the pictures.
For me personally, the water was not nearly hot enough. That, along with the 'no easy escape to fresh air' factor, makes me happier with a Little Mermaid room or Pop for my value choice.
I was glad to get to spend a little time in Magic Kingdom. I pretty much just made a loop around the outside of the hub taking pictures from a distance. I would love to have walked around more and gotten more pictures, but I really felt kind of guilty for being there when the others couldn't be.
I like CBR, too, but I have yet to stay there. I have visited, strolled, eaten, and played there, but never slept there. Gonna change that one of these days.
Long drive and you still manage to peek in at MK.
Even a non-Disney trip means you stop in even for a few hours.
Love that the girls made the trip pretty easily.
Lovin' the Lion King suite.
I had been able to sleep off and on while we were on the road. I was the designated child care person for all backseat needs, and Jill and John switched off driving, but there were short spurts where we all go little doses of sleep. It would take a lot to keep me from a chance to get pictures and absorb some magic now that I was there.
The girls did great, really. Flying is still ten times easier, but they did very well. When Jill has to start buying five plane tickets, I'm guessing there might end up being more road trips and less frequent air trips.
The suite was nice. I wish they had small balconies - or even if the windows could open to get a breeze, that would be nice.
Getting wet sure looks good! The girls looked they enjoyed it.
I love that we get to see so many different places on your reports. I've never been to CBR and I doubt I could DH to go just to eat and look around. Every trip I try to do at least one TS meal at a resort so we can see a little, but it's like pulling teeth. DH is a creature of habit. He would eat at the same places every trip if I didn't put my foot down. That chicken and vegetables with cornbread sure looked good.
A taste of MK is just what was needed. I can't wait to see the Mine train open. If we make it in March I'm hoping it's in soft opening then. Danielle got to ring the Liberty Bell this year and last year when she went for the YES program.
He doesn't know what he is missing! I love resort hopping! Of course, maybe looking at pretty flowers, pictures, lighting fixtures, furniture, and such isn't really a guy thing. Maybe you can just keep enticing him with the food, and eventually you will see all the resorts. Food - that's a guy thing.
Surely by March the Mine Train will be rolling!
I always love shopping with you. I'm excited to go to the Parks outlet tomorrow and eat Rainforest Cafe. I have't been to Disney in 8 months, so it'll be nice to have a little fix.
Eating at CBR is on my list. I went to get something off the Kids' Menu, so I can get it in bucket and eat it on the beach.
It's been cold in S. Florida. We've had so much rain. I was wearing a sweatshirt and pants earlier today.
I'm excited for the Mine Train. I hope it's not too 'intense' for me. I love Big Thunder, but hate Everest and Space Mt. I don't like going down.
Disney Outlet and Rainforest will be a nice Disney fix.
We do the same thing here. Just window shopping in Rainforest and then going to get a pretzel or cookie with the girls gives me a little taste of Disneyness.
Brook W., a NY Disney friend, says it is already in the 80's there. Somebody must have turned the states upside down this morning!
The mine train is supposed to be somewhere between Big Thunder and Barnstormer, I have read. It will be perfect for me, I think. Everest is too much, but Big Thunder and under, I enjoy.
My kids LOVE Harry Potter so I was thinking about Universal for a few days. (WAY cheaper) I just don't know how hard it would be not going to Disney parks.
And yeah, the Mine Train is going to be a big hit. I hope it's going to be opened when I'm next there! *crossing fingers*
I know the time is going to go by so slow in this training today. 
I mean, we have an official mug, so perhaps we need an official pen, as well.
