DS9 got this 500 piece Disney puzzle from Santa! I thought we would take several days or weeks to put it together, but once we started we couldn't stop! We started one evening last week and finished the next day by noon! DS9 & I did most of it. DS11 helped some and DH put in a few pieces!

I love that puzzle!! :thumbsup2

And I really love the framed castle picture above your entertainment center!! :thumbsup2:thumbsup2
 
We were there the same time as you! We did a split stay with AKLV & BWV Nov. 4-14. I'm looking in all of your pictures to see if we overlapped. ;) We too had some issues at BW. I'm glad you got a new room, with a much better view and balcony. Part of the fun of staying there is sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view!

I'm looking forward to reading more!

Thanks Amy! :goodvibes

The kids think we should frame the puzzle!

Welcome! :cool1:

It's always fun to read someones TR when you were there the same time and seeing if you were at the same park on the same day. ::yes:: I hope your BW issues were taken care of too!

Hope you enjoy the TR!
 
Okay, it's official!! :cool1:

We are now doing 9 nights: The first 5 nights at CBR with free dining, and the last 4 nights at the Poly with the room discount!! :cloud9:

I'm so excited! :yay:
 
First ..............Congratulations on adding the poly to your trip!!! I am so happy for you .:woohoo:

Are your dates staying the same?

I think I read you can see the MK fireworks from the pool at Poly? I know you can from the beach :) That will be so nice on nights you don't want to stay in the parks late.

I am glad we changed back to the TPV for that reason I will not, I repeat I will not miss my beloved fireworks at MK this trip even if DH is a party pooper and wants to "rest" :rotfl:

I love that pic of the castle, I have one I have thought I might get blown up and then frame, that is one of those one day things ...........

Your sheltie is beautiful, the one we had hated rain cold snow etc , our golden on the other hand would be right down there rolling in the snow with yours, although she didn't last week when we had the big snow hmmmmm wonder why? :confused3

That puzzle looks like it was a fun one to put together.

Congrates again on the Poly ! :cheer2:
 
Happy New Year Shelly! Congrats on the new trip! That is so awesome.
I am hoping to go for a quick trip in August for DD9's birthday, and the new discount will definitely help!
Loving the TR, and congrats again on the new trip!
 
Congratulations, Shelly!! I think you made a great decision! :yay: I was going to vote on the split stay, too, but you made your decision without my vote. :eek: :rotfl2: (Like I'm any help on Disney decisions, anyway. ;)) It just sounds like the perfect plan. You will have a long enough stay at both resorts to make the switch worthwhile, you get to stay for 9 nights, you already know that you love CBR, and you get a chance to stay at your dream resort! I don't see any negatives - well, except for the money, but that would be a negative no matter what your plan was. :laughing: I know you and the boys are super excited. And I'm sure your easy-going DH is just happy that you're happy. :love:

Once again, your boys took some really good pics! Do they each have their own camera?

I love the Disney puzzle, and especially how you took pics of the progress along the way!

Those pics of your "puppy" in the snow are too sweet! I think as our pets get older, we love them even more.
 
YAY!!! I was hoping for some Poly time and would also have voted for the split stay. Since you are going on MY birthday, I'm glad you went with my choice! :laughing:

Your Christmas pics are great. Who took your family picture?
That puzzle is cool. I showed Sarah and now she wants one!
 
I LOVED "Project Future"! It's a great book. Very informative for sure.

We have that same puzzle! We bought it back in Jan 09 and we put it together in our hotel one morning. We've done it a few times since then too....needless to say, it doesn't take us too long to put it together anymore!! :laughing: I'd love to frame it or something, but Madison has too much fun putting it together.
 
Just popping in - you know that my computer crashed :sad2: so I have so much to catch up on.

I will have to do it in stages. Laundry awaits.:headache:

But I will say I am very very much looking forward to *OUR*.... erm, *YOUR* trip to the Poly.;)

:banana::banana::banana:


:lmao:


Great pics of Christmas morning- the boys look so cute!!!!
And please- get Hot Dog out of the snow before he melts.:lovestruc
 
Split stay at CBR and Poly!!!! What a great way to start the new year!!!

Love the RNRC pic! Your poor DS looks absolutely petrified! That was a well earned $5!

Do they make it snow at DHS during the Osborne Lights? It looked like "snow" in some of the pics. Either that or DHS is stirring up dust while renovating Star Tours. :laughing: Speaking of Star Tours...any idea when it's scheduled to reopen? :confused3

I think I may have to go back and reread your TR from this Nov. and last Nov. and take notes now that we are definitely going the first week of Nov in 2011! :banana:

I just noticed your ticker is very similar to Shelly's! Look out Disney if the two of you are going at the same time. :rotfl: There's going to be some shenanigans that week! :laughing:
 
Were there any Hidden Mickeys in the puzzle?

Love your boys' unbridled enthusiasm for everything -- the trip, Christmas, the snow. Great smiles on your guys.

Thanks Sheila!! :goodvibes We are very excited! Yep, our dates stayed the same.

Yep, I think you can see Wishes from the Poly pool. That will be fun!

I hope you don't miss Wishes this time! :wizard:

Happy New Year Shelly! Congrats on the new trip! That is so awesome.

Happy New Year to you Lauren! :cool1:

Thanks, we are very excited about the trip already! When will you go in August if you go?

Woo Hoo for the Poly!!! :banana::banana:

Thanks Amy! :woohoo:
 
Happy New Year!

Your Sci-Fi pics were great! I could not get any good pictures in there.
Thanks for posting the DHS Christmas lights pictures. They're beautiful! One day I WILL get to Disney to see all the Christmas decorations.

Looks like y'all had a great Christmas morning! Love seeing the boys gifts!

Good to see you back, Jo! I hope you had a Merry Christmas! :santa: Was it a white Christmas?

Sorry to hear about Marvin. Or was it Mervin? Maybe Ervin? :laughing: So did you repair or replace him?

Congrats on the Gator win! :cheer2:

Thanks Teri! :goodvibes I knew you'd vote for the split. It's always fun trying a new resort! ;)

The boys share my old camera. They are hoping I get a new one soon so they can each have their own!

My puppy likes to roll in the snow for some reason. We always say he is making a snow angel! :rotfl:

YAY!!! I was hoping for some Poly time and would also have voted for the split stay. Since you are going on MY birthday, I'm glad you went with my choice! :laughing:

Your Christmas pics are great. Who took your family picture?
That puzzle is cool. I showed Sarah and now she wants one!

I will be sure to think about you on your birthday!! :yay:

My camera has a timer button on it, so I can set it up and then run and jump in the picture with the rest of the family!

You can get that puzzle just about anywhere at Disney!

I LOVED "Project Future"! It's a great book. Very informative for sure.

We have that same puzzle! We bought it back in Jan 09 and we put it together in our hotel one morning. We've done it a few times since then too....needless to say, it doesn't take us too long to put it together anymore!! :laughing: I'd love to frame it or something, but Madison has too much fun putting it together.

I started reading Project Future on Christmas day but never got back to it. I look forward to getting into it as soon as I get a day to myself! :thumbsup2

That puzzle is awesome, isn't it? We may end up framing it after we put it together a few more times!
