Ip-Dips and MNSSHP an October pre-tr - Updated 6/1 - New plans posted

[scottny]

Joining in...and really hoping to pull off a miracle and make it down there too!

That would be great if you could go.

Hi Scott! I'm here. Are you going down for free dining? Did I miss the resort? I'm confused and out of the loop here.

No. It ends a week before I get there, unless they extend it but that is Columbus Day Weekend so I doubt they will extend it.
I have only done the cast so far, I have to space it out. I have 6 months.

Hey Scott! Haven't been around too much here and was happy to find you started a PTR! Looking forward to reading more about your plans.

Neither have I. Thanks for reading.

I'll be there October 4-9 for a birthday/halloween trip

If I get in early enough on the 9th maybe we can squeeze in a quick hello. Would be nice to see you again.

Hey Scott! I'm reporting for duty. I hope Carrie gets to go too.

Thanks for reading. I hope she does too.

 

[jenseib]

This was a fun thing to decide. First I was going to stay at POP. Now I stayed at POP last October and I really wasn't feeling it all too much. I found it to be loud with all the kids running around and the food court was not that great either, although I did enjoy the cheesesteak wrap and the frozen cokes.

Now on "Enchanted" we have a thread going about the upcoming trip and I said I would like to stay at POR. I love Riverside. Here is why...

Pretty lightpost

I love this place. The food is so good. The smell when you walk in puts me in a happy place.

Love to sit out here and eat and people watch.

The bridge to my home.

View from the bridge.

Here is one mansion, I believe Oak Manor was requested. Mrsk made the ressie.

So I am heading back to my favorite resort and am so excited. The next 6 months will go so slow but 4 weeks before this trip I have a trip to London, Paris and Disneyland Paris planned.

September and October cannot get here soon enough.

Up next....

Why are we going?

 

[carissanboys]

I have a picture of a similar lamp post (maybe the same one?) with a bird on top - just about the same time of day too. It's one of my favorite photos from this trip. I'll go find it and post it here.

I'm so glad you get to stay at POR again!

 

[troobabiee7]

I'm IN! You know I love your reports Scott! How have you and Biff been? I check out Enchanted every once in a while but have been so busy that I can hardly keep up with my school work, let alone Disney message boards But it's Spring Break and I'm stuck here in NY so I'm catching up! I feel so out of the loop... did you move yet??

I can't wait to read more! And I'm going to get caught up on your European trip tonight

 

[carissanboys]

Okay - so I finally found the picture I was talking about, but it's a completely different light post. Oh well. I still think I took a picture of a similar light post.

Me too. I love that resort. Thanks.

That is ok, school is very important. I do my apartment updates over there but the 23rd we are moving.
We are both fine, just waiting to move and get it over with.
That is easy, so far just listing where we are going. I am so excited to got here.

Still is a very nice photo.

I love walking around POR.

POR sounds awesome! I haven't stayed there yet but all your pictures from previous reports make me want to! Actually, I did stay there once way back when it was Dixie Landings but it has changed quite a bit from then.

Looking forward to more!

 

[carissanboys]

So I'm not crazy afterall!

Here's the one I was thinking of:

 

[Pakey]

Scott, you'll have to tell us about your Europe trip. I went to London, Paris and Disneyland Paris 5 months ago and LOVED it. If you have HALF as much fun as I did, you'll have an amazing vacation.

I've never stayed at POR. The pics look fabulous though.

The Europe trip is being done "Enchanted". Not here. It is not really Disney related except for one day at DLP. Come by and read. The more the merrier.
I cannot wait to go, I am so excited.
You should try it some time, it is a great resort.

Trying to catch up on reports after a whirlwind week!

I am looking forward to all you have to say and show on this report. I'll probably check in on the Europe trip, too, although I have limited myself not to get involved in any other forums anywhere else. After real life stuff, I come to the DIS to enjoy Disney fun, but I already spend more time than I need to. I allow myself only so many reports to get involved in, and until one is finished, I don't start on another. Otherwise, I would spend countless hours on the computer, because there is so much to read. So, I hope you aren't upset that I haven't checked on Enchanted, but everyone just has to set some limits and follow what works for them.

I can't believe there are people who go around taking pictures of light fixtures and trash cans and other such common, uninteresting things.
That's just weird.

I would love to be taking a morning walk along the path by the river between POR and POFQ this morning. It's so pretty there. Too bad I can't just step into your pictures and start walking!

Happy planning for all of your travels!

I was inspired by you on this trip MeMom!

I can understand that and she is adorable.

The Europe trip is only what we are doing right now. I am listing all the attractions we are going to see.

I have 87 reports I am reading now.

No problem, Enchanted is actually taking off with 372 members. I am hoping it grows. But if you do want to read the Europe trip it is over there will not be here at all. Not very Disney related except the one day at DLP.

Taking strange object pics, how strange.

I cannot wait to get back there. I love POR.

Thanks.

There are two very good reasons for this, the first being it is Disney. I do love it.

The second and probably the most important reason is the people I will see. Last year I went and had an absolute blast. I had 4 days there and 3 of those days I just toured the resorts. It was definitely a different trip and at first I was a little lonely and sad I was there alone but then the 2nd day came and I woke up and I was so excited to be there.

Then the 3rd day came and the first Ip-Dip happened and what a blast it was. The people I met were so nice and so much fun that it just felt right to be there.

So it only felt right that I go back this year if there was one. So the thread was made to see who would be interested.

Buzz and Linnie were going to be there so they were in. I was in. A few others showed interest (they have all backed out due to work or money). I then heard some of the Fockers might be meeting that weekend and I hope they do I would love to meet some of them.

Now Mrsk and Bill were not going to go. They had plans for later in the month and the beginning of November. I used my jedi ways and they switched there trip to go. I knew they wouldn't be able to resist the great people that will be there.

So that is why I am going, the people. This trip will be different as I will be doing parks but you have to stay tuned for my details.

Up next....

How will I get there?
