I Don't Know, I Don't Speak Wind!!

[Lovemy3babes]

Oh yay, you are started! I'm in! I have to say that I loved the last bunch of October pictures you just posted on your old TR MeMom. I definitely cannot wait to see all of those beautiful, fall colors!

My goodness that is a cute baby bump Jill is sporting

The 2 girls together are quite a display of cuteness! Any chance Sophie will have dark features? What did Jill look like as a baby?

Jill had dark brown eyes and light brown hair. Brooklynn and Bella inerited blue eyes, so it would be nice if Sophie would have brown eyes. We'll know in a few weeks.

Cute story about how the name of this TR came to be. Kids can be so funny!

I wish I had it on video. The way she said it was so funny, and she had no intention of being funny.

Here! Late, but here!

Brooklyn is too cute with the wind - adorable!!

MeMom, what are your March dates?

March 20 - 27th. That's a Wednesday to a Wednesday.

Page 7 already !!!! Joining in

Good to have you.

Sliding in on page 7, man your reports are crowded LOVE IT!!! Ready to go along on another MeMom adventure!

I would say sorry about the crowd, but we don't want to send anyone home. We'll just have to drag out some extra chairs.

Brooklynn is too cute! What an adorable story!

She's a mess, that girl.

I am here to join along!!! Late I know but here nonetheless!!! Love the story behind the title!! Brooklynn is super cute!!!!

We're just getting started, so you are right on time.

UGH...I know I chimed in on Page 3. Oh well...I'm here now!

I do that, too. I think what I do sometimes is hit Preview, but then I forget to Submit. Silly me. Other times, I think our posts get lost in cyberspace!

You are quite the tropper heading straight to Disney from camp, bet you were exhausted!

Thanks for the pictures from the ME video, so excited to be able to see that again in just over a month

I was totally exhausted! I had slept very little that week, then very little at Jill's house that night. I got a good night's sleep at Pop Century that firat night.

A bit over two months for us. From the first of July to the first of October is any easy enough wait.

Great start! Jill's preggo belly = cutest baby bump ever

She does look like she is trying to smuggle a basketball on board, doesn't she?

Our class lists go up on Friday, almost a month before school starts. As a parent, I am glad but I cannot imagine the nightmare it is for the office when parents start calling in complaining.


I like your dates too. I'm sad that I'll miss the girls but excited that I can see you! Plus by splitting up the meets, there is something super special about Disney and Dollywood!

Love Brooklynn's imagination!

I think the Dollywood meet is going to be so much fun! A lot of people are coming that can't get all the way to WDW. We are really excited about the meet!

Our secretary told us today they are going to try to keep us at about 22-23 kids, so we'll keep our fingers crossed.

Love it. I am getting these conversations with Louie. So sweet!

Yeah, talking to kids is entertaining.

Oh yay, you are started! I'm in! I have to say that I loved the last bunch of October pictures you just posted on your old TR MeMom. I definitely cannot wait to see all of those beautiful, fall colors!

We love going in October. You will love the way the entrance to Magic Kingdom and Main Street are decorated. And the weather is usually perfect.

Driving onto Disney property!

Beautiful resort.

Back to the movie.

I think Walt's dream did come true. I know I spend my fair share of time talking about Disney World and Disney things.

Here we are.

Checking in.

First picture of Everything Pop. Now the surrealness begins to wear off, and we know we are here.

At check-in, we were told we were in the same building, but not in connecting rooms. We asked if there was anything connecting, and she fixed us up. That was nice, of course, but she said there was nothing indicating we requested connecting rooms. That is frustrating, because we ALWAYS request that, and I don't know how that can just vanish in the computer system. It was okay, though, and we made our way up to the new rooms they gave us in the 80's.

Upon arrival, however, we were hit with the strong odor of smoke, and with Jill pregnant, two little girls, and thirteen days (it was my room) we wanted to see if they could get that smell out. I called the front desk and told them about it, and within minutes they were sending someone up with some cleaning equipment. They gave us new rooms in the 50's, and a room manager came to apologize.

So we left the room with this poster,

and went to the other side of the resort.

We liked this section better - back by the lake.

A little Stacey TV.

In this one, you can notice the new refrigerator.

The girls had been so good all day, and they wanted to swim, so that is what they did.

I took a few minutes to walk over and get some gift shop pictures.

The sun was not shining brightly over the Hippy Dippy Pool.

 

[MeMom]

Shopping bags ready?

There was Perry Platypus stuff all over the parks and resorts.

This was on a display poster. I thought it was cute.

Jarvis had told us to tell Donald hello, so every time we saw something with Donald, we thought of him.

 

[MagicShell]

I'm glad you think the Caribbean Beach Resort is beautiful, that is where we are staying in Dec. We have never seen it in person before.

I hate it when rooms smell like smoke, I don't blame you for changing.

 

[MeMom]

I picked up two postcards that I wanted to go ahead and get in the mail immediately. One was for a friend's little girl who had been to Disney World a few weeks earlier. One was Ty's first official Disney postcard. (For those of you just joining, Ty is the newly adopted son of our cousin, Michelle.)

Not too busy in the food court right now.

Next time, we take a walk across the bridge to check out Art of Animation Resort.

Great arrivals pictures! Sorry about the room snafu. We were given a room that reeked of smoke once at the Hilton. We insisted it be changed too.

Wow the pool looks like the place to be, it looks so empty. And thanks so much for taking us shopping once again. So much to see and want.

 

[Happy Elf]

My shopping bag is ready, and I see several things I would like to put in it!

The girls look like they are enjoying the pool!

Glad they were able to get you new rooms, the smell of smoke for 13 days would be enough to ruin your stay!

 

[Poolrat]

The snafu free departure resulted in a snafu filled checking.

Glad they got it all straightened out and I hope they billed the previous occupant for the smelly room.

Glad the girls got their swim in and I can see the clouds building.... uh oh

 

[PlutosRHM55]

Gotta love those heavenly gates to welcome you to Disney! Caribbean Beach does look like a truly beautiful resort, how I wish to stay there someday, Walt's vision fully fulfilled as mentioned in the great video. Pop looks as amazing as ever. Sorry to hear about your little room debacle, at least you can always rely on Disney's efficiency and you got such a great view of AoA! It looks absolutely amazing over there Love those pictures of Brooklynn and Bella swimming in the quiet pool, a shame the clouds had to close in on you guys

Ooooo... time for some shopping! I definitely have my eye on those pins, especially the Brave ones. The Perry and Phineas & Ferb merchandise also looks great! The Perry/Mickey ears are beckoning to me. Seriously, why can't I just be in Disney RIGHT NOW?! Great post cards by the way!

Can't wait to read about your little walk over to AoA, so excited to see that resort in all of its new glory, eeeepppp!!!

 

[reelmom]

I'm finally here.

Jill looks absolutely adorable. Sophie makes a cute bump.

Please tell Brooklynn and Bella to stop growing up. They are getting so big.

I am so ready for this trip report. I need my Disney fix.

 

[moparop]

It's a good thing I am shopping via your photos because I would have some full bags. There are so many things my kids would go nuts for!

Sorry about the double whammy room situation, but glad to hear it was rectified quickly!

 

[SoonerGirl]

Glad they got your rooms fixed up! One thing I can never figure out is how it gets to a point that a guest checks into a room that smells strongly of smoke? I mean can't housekeeping smell it when they clean the room? Maybe we just have super sensitive noses

I love going virtual shopping with you MeMom, thanks!!

At check-in, we were told we were in the same building, but not in connecting rooms. We asked if there was anything connecting, and she fixed us up. That was nice, of course, but she said there was nothing indicating we requested connecting rooms. That is frustrating, because we ALWAYS request that, and I don't know how that can just vanish in the computer system. It was okay, though, and we made our way up to the new rooms they gave us in the 80's.

I always request a specific section for clients and almost always they don't get the section requested, and are usually told the request isn't indicated. Disney's computer system leaves a lot to be desired. I always tell them if they don't like their room location, to politely ask if there is something else available. 9 times out of 10 there is or at least there will be later that day.

Glad you guys got a non-stinky room!

There was Perry Platypus stuff all over the parks and resorts.

I love Perry! Actually the entire Phineas & Ferb show has really grown on me. It's very witty, with lots of jokes that only adults would get - not dirty, just kinda quirky adult humor.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Yay, you've arrived! Glad to hear they took care of the room situations right away!
I love your shopping pictures - it always makes me smile, and then wish that I were there to buy some goodies!! It's good I'm not - I'll spend enough in October anyway!

 

[DetTigsGal]

Memom, thanks for the welcome

Always enjoy your pics, originally I started reading because of a title...kept on because of the pics and conversation.

This Thanksgiving trip Brendan (19) will be arriving from school a day ahead of us, we picked POP for him to stay based on your reports. Thanks for giving me such a feel for the place.

Good luck getting that room ready

Cynthia

 

[ShortStuff]

I'm so excited, as in September we will be staying at POP for the first time!! Your pictures are so much fun, I almost feel like I'm there!!

Can't help it, but when I saw the title of your report, all I could think of was.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DrOqRQQ9mg:lmao::rotfl2:

Don't mind me please. I worked all night last night and only slept a couple of hours.

Looking forward to more!!!

 

[micandminforever]

DH and I are staying at POP with his family in Jan., so I love all the pictures. I saw things at Everything Pop that are tempting me.

We have requested a king room with a tub, because one time that put us in a king with the roll in shower. On my conformation e-mail it just reads a tub requested. I think I need to call them back.

I love the 50's section that faces the lake.

 

[MHTeacher]

for arrival and check-in. Glad you got the room problems straightened out and you got your connecting-smoke free-rooms!

Enjoyed the virtual shopping. It was much cheaper on my wallet!

 

[DisneyMom5]

I love Pop so much. Sigh.

I don't trade pins, but I buy at least one for myself each trip...and I saw several in your pics that I liked! Might be tough to choose next trip.

Great update!
