I Can See Epcot From Here! ~ A November Trip and Dining Report ~

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Just popping in - you know that my computer crashed so I have so much to catch up on.

I will have to do it in stages. Laundry awaits.
But I will say I am very very much looking forward to *OUR*.... erm, *YOUR* trip to the Poly.







Great pics of Christmas morning- the boys look so cute!!!!
And please- get Hot Dog out of the snow before he melts.

Well hello there stranger
And

I hope your computer straightens up. I hate computer trouble, it is so frustrating!!

I am very much looking forward to *OUR* trip to the Poly!!

Yes, Hot Dog is a strange one. He lays on the heater and then goes out and rolls in the snow.

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. Speaking of Star Tours...any idea when it's scheduled to reopen?
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!

CBR and the Poly It doesn't get much better than that!

Yes, that was a well earned $5 for DS. He just old me again yesterday that he's never riding that thing again!

It does snow at the Osborne Lights! Congrats on the November trip! You'll love it, it's a great time to go!!

I think Star Tours is to open in May! I sure hope it does, the boys are looking forward to it very much!

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. There's going to be some shenanigans that week!

Who us?

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.

Hmm. . . That's a good question. I don't remember any. Seems like there should have been some though!

Thanks, I have some pretty happy little guys here!! They always find the fun in everything!

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!

Thanks! Happy New Year to you too!

Glad you enjoyed the DHS pics. Those lights are fantastic. You should try to see them sometime!

We had a great Christmas, I hope your family did too!

It's always fun trying a new resort!

Congrats on booking a split stay! I know that you are happy to be going back to an old favorite and excited to be trying something new.

Hello TR friends

Well it was back to school here today. For the kids and me!! Got called in at 6:30 this morning. And already got called to work tomorrow. I guess I should be happy to be working and getting vacation money, but I sure could use a day to myself now that the kids are back in school and DH is back to work!!

So, back to the TR. . . Let's see if we can get Day 4 finished up. When I left off we had just left DHS after the Osborne Lights --




After we were done at DHS we took the boat back and got off at the Swan/Dolphin, rather than waiting for the BWI stop.

It was cold so we went up to the room and got some warmer clothes on and came back down to the Boardwalk.

There were some entertainers out and the kids were enjoying them very much!

The kids wanted a snack, so we got DS9 a funnel cake and DS11 some nachos & cheese.

Up Next: IllumiNations from the balcony
(continued in next post)

Pretty soon we decided to call it a night and headed upstairs. We got changed and ready for bed and watched IllumiNations from the balcony.

Up Next: Day 5 Wednesday November 10 – Back to MK

Congrats on the split stay! Nine days plus the Poly...what fun.

I love RnR. Your pictures turned out great. Loved seeing the OL again. Your DHS day looked perfect with swimming, Sci-Fi and short waits.

Thanks Lisa! We are looking forward to getting back to CBR and our first stay at the Poly!

(I am going to get you that info you wanted right now. Sorry for the delay!)

 

[mickeystoontown]

What a great way to end the night! Could you hear Illuminations?

 

[mickeystoontown]

I was just about to send you another message telling you I found it. I did an advanced search and found the review. Now, we just have to decide what to do. UGHHHH!

Thank you!

I love RNRC too! It was a great day! (All except for the no TSM thing)

What a great way to end the night! Could you hear Illuminations?

Yes, we could hear it too. I was surprised by that. I took a short video one night, not of the whole thing. I'll have to get it loaded and post it so you guys can hear what we could!

Let me know what you decide!!

Here is the very short IllumiNations video I took from the balcony. It's only the very end. I wish I would have taped more of it. We could hear all the narration and music.

Great pics! Love the look on your boys' faces when they're eyeing up that funnel cake! And the last pic of you and Mr Shelly is awesome! So cute!!

 

[sjs314]

Shelly I am totally amazed after seeing the video from your balcony of Illuminations. The sound was perfect! Granted I have not read up on the BW but I had no idea there was the possiblity of such "great" room views. You are good advertisement for staying at BW.

You and your family surely had a very nice evening at the resort, after a night like that you know it was worth every penny staying deluxe.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

The picture of your boys looking at the funnel cake is hilarious! And those nachos look very yummy right about now.

Great IllumiNations video! I haven't seen the show yet but next time for sure!

 

[Monny2AE]

Great seats for Illuminations!
That funnel cake looked delicious! Your boys faces were to funny!

 

[seacrestpromo]

Shelly!!!

That looks so yummy! I did the same thing as you, added the ranch instead of the blue cheese - but I did keep the bacon. Now, those fries! Gosh, that looked really good too. Need to try that next time.

Nom nom nom nom... Sea

 

[T*Bird]

What better way to end a Disney day than entertainment on the Boardwalk and then watching Illuminations from your own balcony! In your PJ's!! Life is good, isn't it? Add in a funnel cake, and it's almost too good to be true!

 

[seacrestpromo]

I just noticed in your sig, that you are going back in late August. Awesome! Did you see my post about going in late August too for a long weekend? It would just be the two of us - I am thinking Aug 24-28, maybe staying at the Swan or Dolphin.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Great pics! Love the look on your boys' faces when they're eyeing up that funnel cake! And the last pic of you and Mr Shelly is awesome! So cute!!

Thanks!

When we were sitting on that bench one of the BW performers came by on his bike and told us we were doing an awesome job of holding down that bench!

I know! It was pretty amazing, and that is a standard room!

We had a great night on the BW that evening, but the following evening was even better!! (more to come on that!)

The picture of your boys looking at the funnel cake is hilarious! And those nachos look very yummy right about now.

Great IllumiNations video! I haven't seen the show yet but next time for sure!

Thanks! That funnel cake was very good. The nachos weren't that great, the cheese was very spicy hot!

I hope you get to see IllumiNations next time, it is awesome!
