Hakuna Kidani, What a Turtleful Phrase!

[DWGal210]

I love the "worn out" pictures I've felt that way too after many a late night at Disney!

The picture of Anita and the little girls is just TOO cute. Adorable.

Can't wait to see you soon - just a few more weeks!

I love watching Wishes from the Poly.

Beautiful savannah pictures...my favorite place to stay.

Pooped out kids...so cute.

Love the picture of the three beautiful girls with the lovely Anita.

Great Update!

 

[MeMom]

Looked like a fun meet.
I love the smell in Basin.
Glad you got the pins.
LOL the worn out pics.
Last day is always sad.

Yes, last days at Disney have a kind of gray cloud over them. You try to soak in all the 'magic' you can as you get ready to face the real world again. No matter how long I have ever stayed - 13 days being the longest - I was still not ready to leave.

i'm not sure your memory is clear about MK. You "zoomed" past Casey's? I think not.....
You zoomed nowhere on that trip.
This was the trip that you could barely walk, my dear!
Perhaps if you had borrowed Tink's zipline...

It was called the limp-zoom. I'm sure it was quite a sight.

I sure I hope I don't have any crazy foot thing going on this time. It wasn't even as much my knee on that trip, but that out of the blue foot issue. It was sooo painful.

Love that view!! I hope to be seeing a similar one in Feb. After MUCH debate, we are booked at Kidani Village. I want giraffes in my backyard!!

Spoke too soon. Just switched to CSR. So we will visit the giraffes.

Okay, visiting it is. I am very much looking forward to resort hopping.

Maybe those pictures should have been more liked Crashed!

I do like that picture of Anita and the girls. We were saying our goodbyes.

Still following along! This report has been so much fun.

Thanks. I just can't find the time or energy to finish it out. Because I am so bogged down with school and work, my heart is just not in it right now. I am going to work on it in a few minutes.

Came back to edit and say the Beach Club pictures made me smile and lifted my spirits a bit.

I love watching Wishes from the Poly.

Love the picture of the three beautiful girls with the lovely Anita.

Wishes from Poly on a special day (like 4th of July or on NYE) is even more amazing.

Great Update!

Thanks. Headed to Photobucket to put some more pictures up.

I created a Hidden Mickey.



Light fixture.



In the car.



Our last hurrah would be breakfast at a place I have grown to love. It houses one of our favorite breakfast spots.









Don't you love the pretty flowers here?



Brooklynn is checking us in, it appears.



More pretty flowers in the hallways.



How many pictures of these do I have?



A beautiful day.



Look at that pretty blue sky!





The food.





Yummy!









Minnie and a little admirer.



Brooklynn joins in.



Minnie slides over to see Sophie.

 

[MeMom]

I put this on my FB page after I saw it as I was getting these pictures ready. It just struck me as very funny seeing the look on Sophie's face.



Donald was putting on a show.



The girls found it quite amusing.



More food.



The tall guy comes in.





Like Scott said, the last days are sad.

 

[MeMom]

To lighten the mood, I began drawing pictures and telling silly stories about them, and the girls were cracking up.

Or maybe they just thought I was cracked up.

This may be about my crazy hair....













Someone is food snatching in this story.



Anybody want to guess who this story is about?



Story telling came to an end for another round of Sir Duck.







Minnie again. Sophie is barely hanging on.



Uh oh!



The carpet.



Okay, that's it for tonight. Think warm, happy Beach Club thoughts, those of you who are in snowy places.

 

[gopherdame]

It's coming to an end just in time for your next trip. I hope Brooklynn held on to Sophie in that last picture. When I scrolled to the carpet picture I thought Sophie was going to be sitting on the floor, LOL. Florida weather would feel so good right now! We have had unusually cold weather even for Minnesota, but we are looking forward to 30's today. When it's that warm people don't even zip their jackets, we just soak it up. Hope you have a great trip with no foot or leg problems. On our recent trip we usually went for 6-7 hours and our feet felt so much better. Some days we went early and some late so we could see everything and that worked out really well for us. I really enjoyed the Osborne lights, but I will miss not going in Jan. and getting away from our winter.

 

[DWGal210]

I also think I have about 100 pictures of those umbrellas at the Beach Club. I love their breakfast, it's one of my favorites on property.

Donald was in rare form, wasn't he? Looks like the girls had a lot of fun!

Nice drawings! I bet I can guess who the shopping picture is about.

 

[DisneyBelle99]

Thanks for the warmth of those pictures! There is snow and ice all around NY, so a dose of Beach Club and those beauties warms my heart. We are up to 30degrees today... Rumor is that we will see 50 degrees in just a few more days Go figure! Then, Winter officially begins!

 

[LookinUp]

Oh, MeMom, I am tearing up at the end of your amazing trip, and -- gulp!-- the end of your wonderful trip report. The thing that nearly put me over the edge was that cartoon of Anita and Marc. I laughed so hard, I may have squeezed some of the mist out of my eyes. It's just so perfectly cute, sweet, and apt.

I know that your schedule has really worn you thin, and I hope it eases up after Christmas, at least enough to let you once again truly enjoy Dissing. I'm not the only one who will never tire of seeing the "same" pics we seem to take every time. The umbrellas and mallets and flowers and palm trees and blue skies always tickle me. And those wriggling, giggling, worn out, curious, sweet girls get me every time. But mostly, I hope you can continue to Dis for you.

Hope this countdown day is a nice one for you! Happy Wednesday, all!!!

 

[Poolrat]

What a way to end a trip. Seeing Minnie and the boys at Cape May.

I am officially in single digits until I check in

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Such lovely granddaughters with cute matching outfits. I haven't eaten at any of the BW resorts so was nice to see pictures there. The carpet was cute with the print of the umbrellas.

 

[scottny]

I love that restaurant but buffets are definitely off the radar from now on.

Last days are the saddest.

 

[caralyn817]

Love the pictures! I can't wait for the next trip report. Super excited! Your post lifted my spirits this evening. We would have been checked into POP at this time right now, but had to cancel the trip. Your next report will keep me uplifted until our next trip. I hope that everything is going good for you all. I know you'll be starting Winter Break soon, if not already. We started ours today. Just wanted to stop in and I can't wait for more.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Are you out on Christmas break yet?
Our last day with kids was today.
Tomorrow we have to work for two hours and fifteen minutes.
I will be there at 7:00 and out the door at 9:15.

We leave for Disney in six days, and in one hour it will be five days.

In one of the pictures it looked like Sophie was about to fly away, the next one it looked like Brook was going to drop her for sure!

Now about that shopping picture.....

Where is my hair???

I really enjoyed the Osborne lights, but I will miss not going in Jan. and getting away from our winter.

Luckily for Sophie, it would have at least been a short fall, but Brooklynn held on and was able to put her down gently. I thought the pictures turned out cute, as they really did capture the fun of it all.

Our weather is finally breaking a bit. I am ready to get the WDW forecast into the 10 day window so I can decide how to pack.

My problem when I get on Disney property is that I do not do well with relaxing when I want to be out taking pictures. It's horrible for my leg that way, but torture for my mind if I can't be out and about. I rest more than I want to, but not as much as I need to. Knowing I won't be back for six months, I already know how much I am going to want to be out taking pictures of every palm tree, fountain, rabbit, squirrel, curtain, flower, etc.....and then there are the things like, I don't know, rides, attractions, characters, shows, and food! I try to go out and get in some extra photo time when the girls are napping or after they've gone to bed sometimes. I will probably be a zombie by day three.

I also think I have about 100 pictures of those umbrellas at the Beach Club. I love their breakfast, it's one of my favorites on property.

Donald was in rare form, wasn't he? Looks like the girls had a lot of fun!

You can see Bella was clearly tickled.

I am quite the artist, aren't I?

That is an awesome to place to be in March after a cold winter! The world comes to life again in a millisecond. Just walking out the door and going toward the beach is marvelous, incredible, wonderful, magnificent.... Can you tell I love Disney World in the spring? And getting to stay at Beach Club last March to walk right into F&G was one of the most wonderful gifts I have ever had in my life!

Let the record show - I did not say that was Marc and Anita. Not sure where you got that.
(But, I will tell you a secret; you are correct. )

Yes, the second job has been a little more burdensome than I thought, but it will be worth it when I have the money to spend for the Disney trip and I don't have to run up my credit card.

I sure do enjoy looking back on the pictures, especially the ones of the girls. I get lots of second laughs and smiles as I recall the original moments.

What a way to end a trip. Seeing Minnie and the boys at Cape May.

I am officially in single digits until I check in

We thought it was an excellent way to end the trip.

We will see you soon! Hope it is not too hard on you to travel, transport luggage, etc.

Such lovely granddaughters with cute matching outfits. I haven't eaten at any of the BW resorts so was nice to see pictures there. The carpet was cute with the print of the umbrellas.

I think you would really like a Cape May meal. Such a nice combination of good food and a beautiful, beachy atmosphere!

I love that restaurant but buffets are definitely off the radar from now on.

Last days are the saddest.

I try to 'eat my fill' at buffets, but it would take a lot to eat $35-$45 worth of food, obviously. That's why I don't feel guilty putting my leftovers in a ziplock bag to take back to the room. I do not take new food or purposely have them pile a plate high for me to snag, but yes, I feel just fine about putting a muffin I didn't have room for in my bag for a snack later on.

Love the pictures! I can't wait for the next trip report. Super excited! Your post lifted my spirits this evening. We would have been checked into POP at this time right now, but had to cancel the trip. Your next report will keep me uplifted until our next trip. I hope that everything is going good for you all.

Spirits lifted - that's a good thing.

Today is our last day. We have kids half the day and then lots, lots, lots of paperwork to do. They gave us a bunch of new DEA data that we have to put in notebooks, and we basically have to write an IEP for each kid now. I want to get everything over with before I leave next week, because I do not want to think about that kind of thing while I am in WDW. I don't mind thinking about school stuff when it is more like thinking of how much my kids would enjoy seeing the animals or looking at books for the classroom or buying things in a World Showcase country for Social Studies, but I do not want to think about numbers in boxes.

Are you out on Christmas break yet?
Our last day with kids was today.
Tomorrow we have to work for two hours and fifteen minutes.

Now about that shopping picture.....

Where is my hair???

Today is our last day.

I wish we could have gone on Christmas Day this time, but Jill needed to work Thursday and Friday.

So are you telling me that you think that picture - that incredible art work, by the way - is you? Hmmmm.....

I have to tell you, we were doing some big time laughing that morning at the cartoon entertainment. The cutest part was that the girls were loving it. It was a really fun way to end the trip, and yes, I admit, some of the story telling/drawing was at your expense, Oprahnita. Next time, I will remember to give you hair. And glasses. And an unlimited gift card.

 

[lovedonaldduck]

Please draw an unlimited gift card for me as well, next time you are doodling

 

[vamassey1]

I loved the pictures of the tired little girls. I'm so happy the animals came out to bid you goodbye. Your breakfast looked like the perfect way to say your farewells to Disney. I never want to leave Disney. My bottom lip is usually very close to hitting the floor when it's time to leave.

I know you're days away from your next trip. I hope y'all have a blast and I can't wait to read about it and see the pictures.
