[wigdoutdismom]

Beeeeutiful pictures! I'm ready to go back too!
Unlike Christine I have a few more days to go....

I'm with you on Space Mtn. way too jerky for an enjoyable ride, not just the back car though.

Can't wait to see your BLT view!

 

[MaryAz]

When I go into TrenD I wish I was 20 years younger, 10 lbs lighter, and I wish I had a pocket full of cash. Then I would buy up everything in there DITTO THIS

Love all the detail pics you are taking! Glad the show was great-I have heard he is a hoot. Yay for making it over to the MK. Can't wait to see pics from BLT.

 

[jenjolt]

You pictures are amazing! I just could stare at them all night!! Simply wonderful!!!!

I have to agree with you POR and POFQ are one of my favorite places to stay!!! Such a great themed resort area!!

So looking forward to more!

 

[KatMark]

Great job, MaryEllen. I love your pictures of the outside of the POFQ, etc. We visited ScatCats once and really enjoyed it. Your pictures at the MK are great. I haven't got a great castle shot the last two years because that big, stupid crane is always up to put up the Christmas lights.

 

[dawnbu40]

Your pictures are beautiful (but they always are! )

I love how the pumpkins are themed to fit the building they are in front of

Looking forward to hearing about BLT

 

[Nermel9]

OMG your pictures are so beautiful! I know I say that every time you do an update but really, they just get better and better! POFQ looks so beautiful, I really love the pics you took of the fountain! The beignets look sooo good, although I'd make a huge mess with that powdered sugar too!

Great MK pics! I have never looked around the firehouse, I didn't know they had all those badges, how interesting!

I love Space Mountain, but I know what you mean, it is very jerky! When I went on it in May, Brandon was in the last seat in the front car and I was in the first seat in the back car and I seriously felt like I was going to fly out of the car when we went around some turns! It's fun though, not knowing if you will make it out in one piece!

I can't wait to see pics of BLT!!!!

 

[glennbo123]

Nice pictures MEK!

Looking at those fire/police badges, it's surprising how many of those places I've been.

 

[Wicket's Mom]

As always great pictures! I am in the number of people who didn't know about those fire & police badges. Inspiring to see them from all over.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Reading your update this morning is a wonderful way to start my day! Coffee and gorgeous pictures from POFQ and the Magic Kingdom might actually help me get moving!

 

[MEK]

OMG your pictures are getting me so excited for my trip! 9 days!! Not that my pics will ever live up to yours but at least I'll be seeing the same things!

I am so excited for you. I can't believe you will be leaving in about a week. So great. I really think I need an October trip. The timing is perfect - just as it starts to get cold and rainy here.

Is it wrong that beignets are the primary reason I want to stay at PO?

No....Not at all! I think its a perfectly reasonable reason to want to stay there. (among other reasons)

I am finding myself pulled toward pins and vinylmation... god help me.

It's a spell....I'm telling you I started to fall victim and then realized I would rather divert that money to adult beverages. Spell broken, just like that!

Holy cats am I behind! A crazy busy week at work and a girls weekend and I'm 3 updates behind. AACK!

I didn't even realize you were that far behind. I knew you hadn't posted on your on TR for awhile, but you definitely made up for it!

I think you are right though and it will be a new one by May. We will see though!

I am ready for a new one, so I hope they do have a new pattern by May. I love my Disney mugs. I don't use them at home, I keep them with my Disney "stuff" which includes my pictures, post card collection, stuffed animals and any other souvies I buy.

yes! Come visit us! I am so excited I can't stand myself.

I know! I am very excited for May. I see that everyone was busy last night commenting on the bacon blog. that darn blog is blocked and I can't see it, but I vote for bazooka!

I am very jealous that all our traveling companions are getting ready to go to the world very soon. It's just going to be you and I for a little while. But that's OK, since you are the main planner. You can just keep tweaking away.

seriously - I love cats and that picture is just such a hoot!

I have heard such good things about Bob! Bummer when the boats shut down, that happened to us to but like you, it worked out perfectly!

Bob was great! Too bad we can't fit him into our May trip. We would all be cracking up and it would make for some great silly pictures - all of us doing the hand jive!

Ok, I have to run but will be back to comment on day 2 morn later!

I won't do any more updates until Jen catches up. Jen....you.....who?????

Beeeeutiful pictures! I'm ready to go back too!
Unlike Christine I have a few more days to go....

Thanks!

I bet you are ready to go back...... It's been what......3 months????? We all go three months and start having withdrawal symptoms.

I'm with you on Space Mtn. way too jerky for an enjoyable ride, not just the back car though.

!

I agree - the whole ride is a tad jerky. By the end of the ride I am ready to get off. I can't do that ride back to back.

Can't wait to see your BLT view!

My view was so........

Love all the detail pics you are taking! Glad the show was great-I have heard he is a hoot. Yay for making it over to the MK. Can't wait to see pics from BLT.

I'm glad you like the pictures. I am really into details shots because they help me recreate the trip. I have a terrible memory sometimes, but when I see those pics it all comes flooding back.

If you ever get a chance to see Bob - do it!

BLT pics coming soon!

You pictures are amazing! I just could stare at them all night!! Simply wonderful!!!!

Thanks Jen! I can't wait for Jen to post some more of her pics because I know she has some wonderful shots, too

I have to agree with you POR and POFQ are one of my favorite places to stay!!! Such a great themed resort area!!

So looking forward to more!

I definitely want to "talk" my soccer mom friends into a short POR/FQ stay next fall - short, but longer than 1 night. I want to stay in one of the mansions!

Great job, MaryEllen. I love your pictures of the outside of the POFQ, etc. We visited ScatCats once and really enjoyed it. Your pictures at the MK are great. I haven't got a great castle shot the last two years because that big, stupid crane is always up to put up the Christmas lights.

Thanks Kathy. I really love POR/FQ. I don't think I realized how much until this last trip. And since they are so close to each other I am starting to consider them just one big resort.

Uggghhhhh.......I HATE that crane. I saw it there at the end of our stay. One morning I woke up and there it was.

Your pictures are beautiful (but they always are! )

I love how the pumpkins are themed to fit the building they are in front of

Looking forward to hearing about BLT

Thanks Dawn. I love all the pumpkin theming too. It's so cool and almost impossible to look at all the neat pumpkins. Fall is the best theming. I think I like it almost as much as Christmas.

BLT is coming up and I have many, many pics to share.

OMG your pictures are so beautiful! I know I say that every time you do an update but really, they just get better and better! POFQ looks so beautiful, I really love the pics you took of the fountain! The beignets look sooo good, although I'd make a huge mess with that powdered sugar too!

Thank you! I really do enjoy taking pictures and it was great going with Jen because she didn't care how many pictures I took. I love that freedom.

POFQ really is a pretty resort and I am determined to stay there more than one night.

The beignets were quite yummy and extremely messy!

Great MK pics! I have never looked around the firehouse, I didn't know they had all those badges, how interesting!

The firehouse is so cool and the neat thing is there are never very many people in there. I love to take a quick look when I get the chance.

I didn't know they had all those badges, how interesting!

I love Space Mountain, but I know what you mean, it is very jerky! When I went on it in May, Brandon was in the last seat in the front car and I was in the first seat in the back car and I seriously felt like I was going to fly out of the car when we went around some turns! It's fun though, not knowing if you will make it out in one piece!

That's funny. But I know what you mean. You never know when one of those crazy jerks is going to hit. You don't know whether to scream or laugh.

I can't wait to see pics of BLT!!!!

coming up soon!

Nice pictures MEK!

Looking at those fire/police badges, it's surprising how many of those places I've been.

Thanks Glen! I wonder how many badges they have received that they can't post on the wall or if they keep finding new ways to incorporate new badges. It's a great tribute to firefighters.

As always great pictures! I am in the number of people who didn't know about those fire & police badges. Inspiring to see them from all over.

thanks! It is cool to see so many badges. I would never have known about the firehouse if it wasn't for the KTTK tour. I can't remember if we all went in, but I know it was mentioned so I went in myself after the tour and was just delighted to see the wall of badges.

Reading your update this morning is a wonderful way to start my day! Coffee and gorgeous pictures from POFQ and the Magic Kingdom might actually help me get moving!

I am glad you picked my pictures and update to start off your day! I really miss the MK today. Would love to be there.

It's a spell....I'm telling you I started to fall victim and then realized I would rather divert that money to adult beverages. Spell broken, just like that!

That strategy kept me from buying a lot of things I didn't need this trip.

I didn't even realize you were that far behind. I knew you hadn't posted on your on TR for awhile, but you definitely made up for it!

I'm going to try to stay on top. I didn't mean to get that far behind but for whatever reason (lack of pics maybe?) I was struggling with that update and then POOF 11 days go by. Of course my girls weekend was a factor.

I am ready for a new one, so I hope they do have a new pattern by May. I love my Disney mugs. I don't use them at home, I keep them with my Disney "stuff" which includes my pictures, post card collection, stuffed animals and any other souvies I buy.

I have them but no one uses them so should probably put them in the camping box, they'd be perfect for that. They do take up some cabinet space!

I know! I am very excited for May. I see that everyone was busy last night commenting on the bacon blog. that darn blog is blocked and I can't see it, but I vote for bazooka!

I am very jealous that all our traveling companions are getting ready to go to the world very soon. It's just going to be you and I for a little while. But that's OK, since you are the main planner. You can just keep tweaking away.

You can't see the blog at home? You must see it, pool sneak peek for you and I! Mai Tai's....authentic tiki mugs....I say bacon, schmacon!

 

[MEK]

That strategy kept me from buying a lot of things I didn't need this trip.

I hope to continue to use that strategy throughout the winter!!!!! I may even have an early spring garage sale to see if I can earn a little cash.

I'm going to try to stay on top. I didn't mean to get that far behind but for whatever reason (lack of pics maybe?) I was struggling with that update and then POOF 11 days go by. Of course my girls weekend was a factor.

A girls weekend can definitely put you behind in all areas of your life. But oh so worth it!

I have them but no one uses them so should probably put them in the camping box, they'd be perfect for that. They do take up some cabinet space!

I would think so. I can just see it at my house. Everytime you open a cabinet door one or two of the darn things would be falling across the counter top.

You can't see the blog at home? You must see it, pool sneak peek for you and I! Mai Tai's....authentic tiki mugs....I say bacon, schmacon!

I can at home, but I didn't read it last night or check my email and now it is blocked at work. I hate that. Yesterday I could see everything on this computer - today NADA! ughhhhhhh!

 

[eandesmom]

I want a beignet. NOW!

Pretty pretty FQ pics, makes me want to stay there someday. Why why why can't the mods have queens?

You earned it with the run, no matter how short. Besides, it's vacation!

I love the fire station pics, I've never been there. I may have to make it a stop in May. I agree that SM is still jerky.

I have no idea why but my kids aren't into the vinylmation at all. Doesn't resonate for some reason.

 

[mickeystoontown]

All I can say is WOW! Your pictures are always so very very good. I am anxious to see your BLT pictures.

 

[Wicket's Mom]

MEK, I loved the cat photo, am a great cat lover myself. We lost our 16 plus year old cat about 4 weeks ago & he is sorely missed. We did go see Popovich's trained house cats in Vegas. Was a very funny show!

Now, I need to ask what is vinylmation? I've not seen those figurines before.
I don't need anything else to collect, my niece says that my house looks like Crackerbarrel! Hey, it's all antiques!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Oh my goodness! So many beautiful pictures!!! WOW!! It's funny you mentioned the trees because my mom has a picture of my sisters and I in front of the castle on trip when we were kids and there is a large tree on either side of Main Street that kind of shades the street and slightly obstructs the view!

Those beignets look yummy! DH would love them! I'm not sure I can imagine eating that for breakfast though!

Can't wait until you bebop over to BLT! I want pictures!

 

[MagicShell]

I have been following along on your report, but have not posted before. I just wanted to say that your pictures are incredible. I love those pumpkins in front of the fire station.

 

[podsnel]

Beautiful photos- I especially like the ones you took of the fountains at FQ or POR, wherever they were!

Can't wait to hear about BLT! And I am soooooo psyched you are all staying at BCV on your girl trip- YAY!! You can finally check it out!! 3 weeks from today I'll be checking into a 1 BDRM for 2 nights pre-cruise. I am curious to see what my boys think of the villas- we have only ever stayed on the hotel side as a family. BC is OUR sentimental favorite.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Great update! Love the pictures of PO and MK!

The pumpkins are so cute and I should explore the fire station one of these times!!

I want to know about your BLT view!!
