I want to come to the treehouse party!! I really do want to stay there....I need more points and an infinite number of days off.

Loved the not so hidden MeMom picture. Hope you are feeling better. Happy Friday!!

You are officially invited to the party. Now...we just need a treehouse.

Pretty much back to normal now, thanks.

We had patches of ice this morning, but not enough to keep us out of school. I don't mind Fridays, though, because they are pretty much test days. Also, this afternoon, we're watching a movie on MLK, so the afternoon will be easy. Happy Friday to you, as well!

Really enjoying all your resort visits. I have only been to the Fort once. We have stayed WL over the 4th but never made it back to the fort. What a fun parade! I like the boat and the Minnie cart. Too cute!

What a nice picture of you! Brooklyn did a great job.

Yay for a second Mickey bar! Such a nice castmember.

Glad Jill is getting a trip to WDW but really feel for her. Her MIL sounds like my Mom. Don't get me wrong. I love her to death but the older she gets the worse the drama and negativity is getting. We took her to WDW once and that was enough for all of us. She always finds fault with everything we do (except for Jeremy). If he does anything wrong it is always because of something I did. She actually told me Tuesday night that I treat my cat better than him and that is why Jeremy doesn't like the cat anymore. It has nothing to do with the fact that the cat gave him a good scratching. Jill will be in my prayers that week for sure! However, I loved your telling of her trip. You had me laughing at my desk.

Glad you didn't get a lot of ice. We were supposed to have several inches of snow but only got a dusting.

I always forget about Fort Wilderness! Those pony rides are something we can do our arrival day since we aren't doing a park

Brooklynn looks so cute holding up her Mickey bar with that chocolate covered grin! It's nice to see a picture of you, too!

So, is 'Ohana a go for everyone on 12/31, or are some people doing Epcot? I think our group will be doing 'Ohana and Poly beach.

We're in for 4 for Ohana and Poly beach!!

I totally want to do a treehouse party

 

[Poolrat]

Oooooh, Pat, let's have a treehouse party!

Someday a treehouse party. Just not over NY. The points are insane!!!!

Planning on booking at BCV.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I agree, a tree house would be fun, we've always wanted to stay over there. Hmmmmm. I know we were thinking to try for Wilderness Lodge, but we could look into a house up in the trees.....
I think they are pretty hard to get but we could always do a waitlist.
If it comes through, perhaps we could have that party!
I guess, I should go and check out our point situation!

Jill is definitely doing her part in planning to make this a good trip, so if John's mom does the same, they should make it okay. Talking about the overall what could be and then knowing the reality of what might be hour by hour - there is a little contrast there, though.

Glad you got a chuckle out of the story. I hope Jill can continue to thread the humor in her stories during the trip.

The kids would love seeing the horses, I bet.
Your trip is so close!

This is the beginning of a WILD crew, is it not???

I'd hold off on that treehouse until points are more reasonable. We'll do that party, in time. Wilderness Lodge at Christmas is extra magical.

We are going to have a fun night at 'Ohana, if we can all get in!

After a Mickey bar - or some of two - and some play time, we left this lovely campground for our next destination.

I thought this was a good reminder that Disney is just for kids, right?
Surely it's not for 'gray hairs'.

A castle and some palm trees. Life is good.

Many guests headed for a day of fun.

I've got an idea; let's ride right through this building!

It's been a while since we did Chef Mickey's. We might try to do this on our one day on WDW property before we start our drive home this summer.

We ended up in the Polynesian Islands...

where we planned to do some trading -

my money for your exotic and native import and exports.

I wish they sold little figurines of this. It would look cute on a shelf in my Poly bedroom.

For some of our DIS kids.

Anybody want to play?

 

[MeMom]

Out into this lobby that I am so fond of.

Looking across toward Kona.

Can you picture yourself looking at this right now?

I love the stone floors and benches.

Raise your hand if you have taken a picture of someone standing by the surfboard.

We enjoyed window shopping here.

Maybe we can do a DIS kid group picture here on NYE?

That's it for this morning.
Happy Saturday, DIStown!

Hello! This is the first time I have logged on the Dis in a loooooong time. I will probably never catch up with the report. I know we have kept in touch with FB but I feel like I have missed so much. I have been kind of a grump since my Dad passed away in May. I am trying to get back to normal. Hope everyone is doing well. I saw on FB that you have a spring break trip. What are the dates? We will be there 3/22-3/31. We are staying at BLT and Beach Club. I am hopefully booking our flights this weekend. Have a great Saturday everyone!

 

[Megablocks]

I love riding the monorail into the Contemporary! We're still trying to get into Chef Mickey's at some point during this trip...we've gone there on every trip since our first one in 1994 so I think we'd all have withdrawals.

I want to jump into your pictures. We're at the point where right now I feel like it's soooo close but also like it'll never get here (although I have been playing "this time next week" in my head all morning.) It will be a long week at work, but knowing what happens at the end of the week will help!

 

[TangledMama]

Your pictures of the Poly are getting me so excited for my trip! We're eating at 'Ohana one night (our first time) and I can't wait. DH thinks that the Poly looks so cool. It'll be fun to see it in person and maybe on a future trip we'll be able to stay there.

Exactly one week from now we should be on the Magical Express on our way to All Star Sports!

Thinking about you.

Haha, I was play "this time in twelve weeks" at work last night.

...and I was playing, "this time 4 weeks ago"...

We will see you in March. Our dates are the 20th - 27th. We will be at Beach Club until early Sunday morning. After that, we'll be at Pop. Friday, your arrival day, is our Magic Kingdom day. Maybe we can do another group ride on something. Do/Can both your boys ride Splash Mountain? It's supposed to be newly reopened that week. Maybe we can do that.

Like Pat, you have our thoughts and prayers as you go through your first year of firsts without your dad.

This Time Next Week is possibly the favoritest game ever for DISers! See TangledMama's post below. Maybe you guys can cross paths?

We have done Chef Mickey's several times, but it has been a while. It's a classic that I recommend for all first-timers, if they ask my opinion.

There is a certain atmosphere in that lobby - the sound of the water, the smell, and the lush greenery. I love those floors, too. I hope we get to stay here someday, too. For now, visiting makes me happy.

Yay for one week from now! Do you know Megablocks? You guys should meet for a quick DIS hello!

Cara I know you are having a rough time.

Thinking about you.

We always want our DIStown folks to know they are cared about.

Haha, I was play "this time in twelve weeks" at work last night.

You are not alone. I am counting my weeks by Wednesdays right now, since I leave early on a Wednesday morning.

...and I was playing, "this time 4 weeks ago"...

Not as fun. Not as fun.
I don't consider myself fully back to reality until I am through playing This Time Last Week. When that ends, I know I really have to snap back to real life.

 

[eandesmom]

I know! We can be world travelers w/o traveling the world - so many different places and themes!

Yes, those stables are super clean.

She looked like maybe she was going to get a good start on that second bar, but the playground changed that.

We had our coldest day this week already.

You will want to dance when you get there!

I'm still eating very lightly, as in almost nothing, but that's a good thing. Maybe I will lose an ounce of weight in all this.

Trent and whoever comes with him plan to start driving down Friday night, and they will get there Saturday, the 28th.

I'm sure some campsites keep decorations up through the first week of January or so, as the parks do.

I ate a biscuit this morning, and I looked at your trip report and did fine with all those food pictures.

I made our reservations last weekend. The price of the rooms went down drastically on our last night. Kinda hurts to look at it when it's your last night, but it would be a joy if it was the beginning. Unfortunately, we have to get back to school in the early days of January. Lucky are those who can go during the first weeks of January.

So, is 'Ohana a go for everyone on 12/31, or are some people doing Epcot? I think our group will be doing 'Ohana and Poly beach.

I'm not sure what our group will be doing yet, I just started walking my ressie today and am not sure of everyone else's dates yet. The gang has been leaning towards Epcot for the 31st but it's early days still.

 

[sunny_stace]

Oh my word have I fallen behind! But the good news is I got a pretty big promotion at work! I have been working like a mad woman! It was nice to relax with a virtual tour of the Poly! Hope everyone is doing well in DisTown!

 

[DetTigsGal]

...ah, but I can also play six months from today
