JAMBO Everybody...An August 2011 TR (Completed May 13)

[I Believe In Magic]

Great update!! Everyone looks like they are having a blast. I still need to explore around AKL, it looks like a great family resort.
Oh and a side note, while in Chicago this past weekend I could have sworn I saw Jas! I wish now I would've asked to take her picture, but she sure has a twin.

Can't wait to read more!!!

-I watched the Emmy's too! I really wanted some of the other shows/celebs to win, but I was so happy for Modern Family! I've never seen the show, but it's on my list of shows to watch!
-What a nice pic of the three of you
-Love the fairy pics! I wanted to meet them on my last trip at toontown but by the time we got there at about 45 min. after park opening the line was already 55 min. long Oh well, there's always next time!
-Boo POTC! At least you, hopefully, got to ride it later in the trip!
-AWW! The Splash pic is so sweet! And I'm starting to like Jeff even more! Tell Jaz to watch out Lol
-HM is my second favorite MK ride! Splash is my 1st
-Lucky Lucky Girl!!!!!!!! I wish it was only 5 more weeks until I went!
-I love AKL's pool!
-Looks like you all had a wonderful time at the pool!

You really need to check out Modern Family! I think you'll love it! I will definitely tell Jas to watch out Splash is Jasmine's fav at MK! We had the best afternoon by that pool!!

Makes me want to head over to the pool! Ive never actually been 'carded' to be there though... but I suppose it does make sense

Ive seen a lot of dust spots or humidity on camera... and im not sure thats what those are in the picture with the girls

I eventually went down and bought Jeff some beer so he could have a drink in the room while we were getting ready to go for dinner

I keep looking at the picture and my sister was telling her girls our thoughts on it and her youngest one thought it was cool...her older one was just freaked out It brings me peace to think she is with us

The pool looks like it was a lot of fun! Afternoons spent swimming and goofing off in the water are the best.
Poor Jeff, floating doesn't seem to be his strong suit, but kudos to MM and Jasmine for trying to teach him!

They are the best way to spend afternoon aren't they I was impressed at how long MM tried, but when she was done, she was done

Great update!! Everyone looks like they are having a blast. I still need to explore around AKL, it looks like a great family resort.
Oh and a side note, while in Chicago this past weekend I could have sworn I saw Jas! I wish now I would've asked to take her picture, but she sure has a twin.

Can't wait to read more!!!

It is such a great resort, there is something there for everyone!

How funny is that! I've often heard we all have a twin and I guess you saw hers! I can't wait to hear about Chicago!! I just know you had a great time!

I promised another update Sunday evening and clearly that didn't happen but here it is now! I ended off with our wonderful afternoon by the pool and then it was time to head up to our room and out for our dinner ADR!

We went straight out to the balcony to see what we could see....and we got a treat! This young man was feeding the ostrishes and putting some food out for the Eland (which we named Ellen) then he was off!! It really was neat to be able to watch this right from our balcony and realize, once again, just how lucky we were!

It was time to jump in the showers so we needed to get to it! Thought we would take a couple of pictures before we left the hotel!

Jeff took this one of Jasmine and I! It is one of my favorites from the trip!

Jeff and his best girl! I love this one of the two of them...I just think they are so cute together!

We decided instead of taking the bus to Epcot that we would take a bus to DHS and get the boat to Epcot! This was we could show Jeff some of the other resorts that otherwise he wouldn't get to see! Of course, he was game for anything! Here is the gang waiting for the boat! Not sure if you can tell, but we are first in line so we knew we would get to sit in the back...my favorite!!!

Jasmine insisted I give up the camera so I could be in some of the pictures....well ok then

Of all the resorts we saw, this is the one Jeff wants to stay at on one of our trips!! He loved the look...again, so great to see thru someone else's eyes!

I guess all the fun times at the pool wore poor MM out....she was out like a light....isn't she just the cutest little thing?

Boardwalk sign as we were leaving the Swan/Dolphin

The Boardwalk....I loved Kouzzina for breakfast and I hope I can convince Jasmine to try it for dinner one of these trips! She can be a tad fussy when it comes to her food...Jeff, he'd go in a heartbeat!

Love the shopping and wandering that is to be had at The Boardwalk....one of these years we really need to stay here! I want to know what it feels like to be able to walk to Epcot!!

This is Jasmine's pick as her dream resort!! Jeff thought is was just ok .... it made for an interesting conversation on the boat !

Waterslide....and yes, my Jasmine would do it!

Finally, we arrive at the International Gateway! If I haven't mentioned it before I LOVE LOVE LOVE World Showcase! My absolute favorite thing to do with an evening in WDW is to be here!

Sorry, not the greatest shot but I was getting very excited at this point, why you ask????

Because this lovely young man was just waiting to pour me......

wait for it...Geodoc has to pay first apparently before he'll hand over the goods.....

My Grey Goose Slushie...is that love in my eyes...yes it sure is!!!

Jasmine's exact words to Jeff were "oh look how happy my mommy is...give her a GGS and all is well in the world" ... does she know me or what?

Enjoying our delicious glasses of heavenly goodness...now let's stop with the picture takin and get to drinkin...maybe we can get 2 in before our ADR???

This is one of those pictures that I take on every trip we go on...this is one of my favorites! I know how happy they were to be here together and you could just feel it!

My profile pic on FB....love it!

Ok...why, you ask do I have such an odd look on my face.....because my GGS is gone and my sister has hardly touched hers.....rookie!!!!

You'd think these two had been drinking! Nope, just trying on our nation's beanie's!!! I love this picture, I think what I love the most is they didn't care who was looking at them they were going to have fun and that was all there was to it!!!

So...have you guessed where we were headed for dinner???

 

[Jazzabelle508]

great idea to take the boat over I just recently took my first ride on the epcot resort boats and absolutely loved it! now it is a must do for me!!! Cute that jeff loved the swan and dolphin. My brother was going to stay there for his honeymoon but after a bad experience with trying to get dining reservations and having complications due to the weird swan and dolphin policies they switched to wilderness lodge. Swan and dolphin is definitely very pretty! Also love that jasmine and jeff were debating about their dream resort. He is defintely a keeper MM sleeping is adorable Love the recieving and drinking the GGS pics My mom offically is making that drink a priority this trip. she realized she needs a new disney drink because she doesn't love the mexico margaritas anymore I love that last pic of jasmine and jeff with the canadian mickey heads I love how each country in world showcase has disney stuff themed specifically for their country. I'm guessing either france or lecellier for your dinner because those are the two countries featured in this post.

 

[declansdad]

gotta love the Gray Goose!!!

 

[IheartDDuck]

MM was so cute falling asleep on the boat!

GGS....I'm so jealous. I want one right now.

Dinner ressie. I don't know! I'm gonna say.....Teppan Edo? (I'm probably so wrong).

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

Queen, I had one of those days--oh to be in Epcot with a GMS!

Love your pics from the boat--if I'd ever get back to my report, I have very similar pictures...

Thanks for the update; hope you are having a good week!

 

[Purpleblanket]

My mouth is now watering for a grand marnier slushie!! yum!!

Great idea to take the boat and check out the other resorts. That was something we ran out of time for too!!

Great Photos!

Debbie

 

[CreightonsMomma]

Grey Goose Slushie

Awww....what a sweet pic of MM. So cute!!

Jasmine and Jeff look sooooo happy together.

Love the pic of you and Jasmine. Two beautiful ladies!

 

[dawnbu40]

I loved the update! So many cute pictures of all of you! The traditional one of you and Jasmine is my favorite though

Great pictures of the Epcot resort area! I can't wait to stay at one of those again next year

Since you started at France and ended at Canada, I'm thinking LeCellier for dinner?

 

[beebeeryan]

I love how nobody really cares who's watching them at Disney, we try on hats and do silly things. It's so much fun. Love that picture with the Canadian beanies! Even my DH who does not get silly in public was trying on hats and being silly at Disney.

 

[wdwgirl03]

An evening walking around World Showcase sounds great! Love the pictures from the boat ride too.

 

[dvc4life]

Not sure if I have posted or not yet, but I just wanted to say great update! We also love being at World Showcase at night when we are down there. And seeing this trip through Jeff's eyes is really fun.

But the picture of you and Jasmine in front of the fountain is a great photo. Loved it. And I would also like to say that your shirt is adorable. Just love it as well.

Keep up the great job!

 

[Shannon84]

Yes I love the slushies!!! I can't wait to get my hands on one in just a few weeks

I love the picture of you and Jasmine in front of the fountain...very pretty!!

 

[pkondz]

We went straight out to the balcony to see what we could see....and we got a treat! This young man was feeding the ostrishes and putting some food out for the Eland (which we named Ellen) then he was off!! It really was neat to be able to watch this right from our balcony and realize, once again, just how lucky we were!

Wow! That's really great! Not something you see from your typical hotel window, now is it?

So, did Jeff whack somebody with that umbrella? In this pic he looks like he's none too pleased that he has to carry it! Or is he just upset that SnowWhite (and Geodoc, surreptitiously) has stolen his 'thumbs up' trademarked pose?

We decided instead of taking the bus to Epcot that we would take a bus to DHS and get the boat to Epcot! This was we could show Jeff some of the other resorts that otherwise he wouldn't get to see!

That is a great idea! I'm writing that one down as a 'thing to do' on our next trip!

I guess all the fun times at the pool wore poor MM out....she was out like a light....isn't she just the cutest little thing?

Awww.....

Sorry, not the greatest shot but I was getting very excited at this point, why you ask????

Nope! We already know what you want!

It looks like you're hyperventilating, 'cause you're so excited!

My Grey Goose Slushie...is that love in my eyes...yes it sure is!!!

My profile pic on FB....love it!

Cute pic of the two of you!

Ok...why, you ask do I have such an odd look on my face.....because my GGS is gone and my sister has hardly touched hers.....rookie!!!!

So just how long was it, before the 'pro' had herself another one? Hmmmm????

So...have you guessed where we were headed for dinner???

I'm gonna have to go with Le Cellier. Great update! Can't wait for more!

 

[Hooked On The Mouse]

It looks pretty clear that you're heading to Le Cellier. It's on our list too for our upcoming trip. I hear a rumor though that they no longer have the chocolate moose? I'm interested to hear what you all thought of it now that it's 2 credit for dinner. Nice pictures of the Boardwalk area. It's on our dream resort list as well, although dh and I both feel confident that AKL will be our ultimate resort forever.

 

[pooksma]

gotta love the Gray Goose!!!

Hey that's MY line!

 

[Missyrose]

Love those Grey Goose Slushies! We didn't let a little thing like rain keep us from one on our last trip.

 

[amazingact21]

Oooh, that slushie looks delicious. Might have to pick one up when I'm in Epcot next time.
The picture of you and Jasmine at the fountain is wonderful! I suppose it's because I'm so close to my mother, but I always like it when mothers and daughters look like they are having such a great time at Disney together.

 

[Fantasyland Mom]

I'm back from my trip, Queen, and I had to come over here and get all caught up!! Mmmm...GGS. It's been one week and two days since I had my last one. Obviously I'm in need of another by now!

Heading to Le Cellier? I hope so, because as you'll read in my TR soon (yes, I started it already today!!), my date night we had planned there did not go as planned and I'd love to read/see about it.
