I loved the pix of Tyler and Tim at Sanaa goofing around. They looked really happy with their pizza. Our younger dd Zoe does laps around the perimeter of the pool too. She is crazy happy if she's playing with the gate latches.
Oh Ellen -
I love your update but I am pictureless again today at work. I promise to look at all the pretty pics tonight. Dang this restricted work computer!
How awesome that Sanaa accomadated Sean soooooo well !!! Question does he eat anything else !! Cuz to me it sounds like perfect kid diet!!!!
Sean looks like he is having a BALL !!! Bless him !!
Great update, Ellen! I loved your review of Sanaa. I have to say that it's not somewhere that I would normally try, but your review made it look very good. I am so glad that they were accomodating to Sean's needs...I know that makes all the difference in the world for you guys!
As always, can't wait to read more!!

Amazing last update and even better pictures in all the updates. But, I have to tell you that my number 1 favorite is your scrapbook pictures. As much as I love digital scrapbooks, there is something soooooooo special about the originals. Those pages are gorgeous. I did one with our very first trip to Disney, then after that it was all digital.
Front row on EE IS a totally different experience, isn't it? Great pics from the front row.
OMG - the Saana meal looks so delicious. I am now starting to regret that I reserved Yak & Yeti over Saana. Probably a big mistake, but I really want to try both. How cool that they made special FFs for Sean! And the wine flight - yummy! I wish I was drinking that right now.
I really love Kidani. Everytime I see pictures I wish I was there. So many great DVC resorts, so little time!
Love the updates Ellen! You guys are the cutest. So when you say Sean eats nothing but french fries, you REALLY mean he eats nothing but french fries? Breakfast, lunch and dinner? Does he EVER snack on anything else or pick at your plates when you are out to eat? Just curious!
Everyone looks so happy! I love all your pics in and around Sanna and the resort.
Two major thumbs up for them having fries for Sean. That's one of those Disney touches they don't often get enough credit for.
Love, love, LOVE Sanaa!! Love, love, LOVE Disney!!

Yes, you are right! THAT is why Disney is far superior to any other vacation destination I could think of and why I keep going back over and over! And it's something that you can't even begin to explain to someone who doesn't "get it." When someone asks you, "Why do you love Disney so much?" You can't answer with, "Because they made my son french fries." It's just one of the many many things that makes Disney so special and make you want to shout the following quote....
I hear ya, sister! I can't tell you how many times during our trip I shout, "Ugh, I LOVE disney!" Even at home, too, if I'm being honest....
Never fear, ITSK is here!!!! Just got all caught up and I love love LOVE all the pics of Sean!!! He looks so happy in Disney!!!! I'm thrilled that you got there as a family again.
Promise me that if you and Pods ever do come visit, he will NOT wear those shorts from 1985!!!!!
okay love the french fries. I will second everyones' thoughts--that is what Disney does best making your vacation easier. Physical scrapbooks are wonderful but I too am getting hooked on the electronic versions. When I was in college I worked for Creative Memories in St. Cloud. Left with wayyyy to much stuff. Have I used it all--umm no.
One question though--since Sanaa is non-traditional, do they have the traditional kids meals? I think I could get Tim there but I would need to know that I have some old fall backs for the girls.
Ellen, no Zoe never tries to escape at the pool, thank goodness!! She just walks the interior perimeter, stopping at the gate latches, and plays with them over and over. We joke that her motto is, "if it's worth doing once, then doing it 200 times is even better"!!
I too am a CM addict! I haven't gone electronic with scrapping yet. But I love the quick kits that they sell . I can knock out a dozen pages in no time. To show you what a geek I am, I take my scrapbooking on DH and my's trip to HHI each spring. Mom and Dad watch the kids for 3 days. The first day, I burn through about a years worth of pix. I just move everything out to the porch, and look at palm trees while I work. Then we go play mini-golf or kayak.
I'm glad Sanaa serves kids' foods. Our older dd is so picky, I'd crossed this restaurant off our list. Unlike many ASD kiddos, Zoe will eat virtually anything, go figure.
Ellen!!! I'm here and all caught up. I'm so pleased that Sean came along with you and did so well! Your touching description of how much those tie-dyed shirts meant to you brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing your scrapbook pics - so sweet! We went to WDW in '97, too. I remember that cake! It was the first time and our boys were 12 and 13. It was an amazing trip and started an addiction that can't be stopped!
I love the Disney moments that make each trip special and unique. No one else comes close! I hope they never change that.
HOTTIE!!!! And look at all that hair!!!!
