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

Brook sure looks like she is on cloud 9, taking that late night swim.....
Oh to be a little girl without a care in the world.

Brooklynn threw some coins in, and we made wishes for happy things to come for DIS friends.

I have to smile when I see this and say a little thank you for the precious little boy who's asleep 2 rooms away from me right now.

Love this walkway.

I do too! I remember walking back to our room that last night after the Halloween Party last trip, and realizing it was the last time that trip we'd be walking down that walkway. But I refuse to be sad at the end of the trip - I try to remember to be thankful instead. (But the sad does usually creep in a little bit too.)

Those are very sweet thoughts, Dawn...

Ah, sweet memories! Just a few weeks ago, I sat in that exact spot watching my own princess enjoying her last midnight swim.

I do hope you get to enjoy a visit during a low-crowd season. Although you of course will always have a magical time, shorter lines, fewer ADRs (more walk-ins) and more elbow room are big plusses. In mid-December, just a week after FLE opened, we walked on Journey of the Little Mermaid 3 times in a row!

Can you say" Disgruntled Employees of the Month'? Yikes! Hope it was the heat.

Long day, heat, didn't want to be there...I'm not sure, but definitely not seeing the Disney magic in that picture.

DH and I enjoyed looking at all the shadow boxes when we stayed there!

It is fun to see things you remember from 'back in the day'.

Brook sure looks like she is on cloud 9, taking that late night swim.....

She didn't have to wear the lifejacket when she was near the steps, but she had to put it on to venture out. She didn't want to wear it at all, because she thinks she's an expert swimmer now, but I didn't want her to get into a bad situation out there over her head that ended up with me jumping in to help her. I really wanted to get in with her, since there was no one there, but me in a bathing suit would not be a pretty picture.

She really was so happy out there floating around thinking about what she wanted to have or do next. It's good for kids to have that kind of time - sometimes. Not enough to make them selfish, but enough to make them feel special.

Maybe that's why we think Seth is such a special little guy, too.

It is so hard to leave Disney World - short trip or long, I am never ready to go.

Those are very sweet thoughts, Dawn...

We're tossing coins for some other DISers, too, so hopefully that fountain will work its magic this year and bring lots of sweet little babies to DIStown.

Our Octobers have not been bad, but I know they are still nothing like January or February crowds. I would have to take off a week from school. I might do it one of these days. I know I would love it. Right now, I am counting my weeks until the March trip and getting more and more excited the closer it gets!

10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - That's the countdown in weeks! Ten weeks from right now, I will be on a plane!

Perfect ending to a fabulous day!

It's been a long time since I've been to DW and it wasn't a crowded time. Having school age kids limits the possibilities.

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

Wow, I had to go back to page 120 to catch up but I FINALLY have!!!

Loved your Wilderness Lodge Thanksgiving and Under the Sea Christmas! What a wonderfuld idea and such great memories for the girls. May have to steal the Wilderness Lodge idea for something in the future. Too cute!

We got stuck on Splash once but never evacuated. How cool to be so up close to the ride!

Loved your pictures from OKW. We have been booked there several times but changed when something else became available. It looks so nice and relaxing. May have to give it a try in the future.

So glad you had fun with Brooklyn. I am sure it was hard seeing the rest of the family leave but what great memories you made with Brooklyn.

Congratulations to Trent!

Hope you are well and that school is not working you too hard!

 

[mickeyfan71]

I love the path to and from the boats at WL but I sure didn't like the swarm of bugs near the lights! You had to make sure you kept your mouth closed!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I was a bit behind due to holiday craziness, but caught up now again. I have enjoyed your last two days at the World!! I love a good DTD/resort hopping day. Even though we've visited almost all the resorts now (I think we just haven't seen Riverside...), there are always new details to be seen - or at least a gift shop to explore.

I can easily picture the girls dragging Baylor on Barnstormer over and over. Sounds like a good night!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I always enjoy seeing your Pop pictures MeMom! I know you have a special love for the resort and I can feel it as I view the photos. That was our first resort ever so it also holds a special place in my heart. I'm feeling a little emotional today so I welled up a little bit. Thanks for sharing them!

 

[Megablocks]

We were right near that pool and in the Play-Dough building last January! Seeing your pictures brought back such good memories. I really hope to be around there again, because it was such a nice location! Your pictures are making me so excited to be back

We have to work around the school calendar...or the teacher has to skip.

Sitting out by the water at night is nice. Swimming makes for good sleep, too.

Hope to see some OKW pictures from you one of these days.

The bridge from Pop to Art of Animation os horrible when it is dark, especially in the early morning. I had to swim through a sea of bugs. It was yucky!

It's nice to see you and some others getting a chance to peek back in.

I have seen all resorts except for a Treehouse Villa and Shades of Green.

Baylor is a good sport with all the younger kids.

We will always have a fondness for Pop, our first resort, as well. We think we own a little bit of it.

Won't be long now! Even for me, it's only ten weeks, and that is seeming very doable right now.

It looks like I will be back at POP on Sunday! I have to go to a conference in Orlando. It will be just me so i wanted to stay somewhere I knew and would feel safe at alone so where else but POP. Not sure if I will have any time to go to a park but yay Disney!

 

[nannye]

Thank you so much for posting this extremely attractive picture of me with a giant belly.



She now has her own pair. They are being packed in the suitcase today.



We had already met up with them earlier in the pouring down rain and wind. Remember that is the night your umbrella kept going inside out and I pretended to be flying away.

That floatie is BY FAR THE BEST floation device ever invented. My V was terrified, she wouldn't go in a lifejacket, she wouldn't let go of you, I had claw marks. I tried a puddle jumper put it on her walked her into the water and off she went! Instant confidence. It is just something about how they are held up and so much safer than a lifejacket!

I agree; you will feel safe and at home on Disney property. Even if we were doing all non-Disney things on a trip, would still like having a Disney resort for the safety and feeling like I was in my comfort zone.

Yay for you sneaking a tiny dose of Disney in.

Have you talked to Anita about that Vero night? Are you a for sure? It's going to be fun!

Brooklynn only wears it when she has to, which is pretty much when Jill is not in a swimsuit where she can hop in to help or when Brooklynn doesn't want to stay closer to the steps. Bella loves the freedom the floatie gives her, so she is all for it! Luckily, the pools aren't real deep, so it won't be long before Brooklynn can touch the bottom everywhere.

I came across this trip report last week and spent 3 days reading the whole thing! It got me very excited about our trip coming up. I love your pictures! What kind of camera do you use? My goal for our trip is to take lots of pictures. I say that a lot before I go on a trip, but I never end up taking very many pictures.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Hey MeMom! Come join my TR when you have some time. The link is listed in my sig.

We are so glad to have new friends in DIS town!

I just have a Canon Point and Shoot. We will look forward to seeing your pictures, if you write a report. If you don't, feel free to share a few of your favorite ones here.

I will be there in a little while.

It's going to be a fun evening!

Good morning, Sunshine!

This was such an exciting thing to watch as it grew and grew and grew.

We played shadow tag as we went across the bridge. She danced around, and my shadow tried to touch her shadow. She thought that was funny.

We decided to go over to Art of Animation to eat.

Gelato choices.

Brooklynn wanted a Mickey waffle, and I got the cute little waffles, bacon, and fruit.

Something we keep intending to do, but have yet to accomplish.

As we were leaving, I was asked to complete a survey on this laptop.

Around the drink area, just for those of you who have not seen this place.

Time to head back outside.

Rafiki's face is free!

You don't know how happy this made me, since last time I had seen him, he was suffocating in plastic.
