[brookelizabeth]

I am in love with the picture of Henry's hand with the statues.

Isn't that sweet?

Are you back home now? How was the rest of your trip?

 

[PopArtGal]

Believe me guys. I was in NYC for 4 days and saw a TON of Brazilian tour groups. And there even was a tour guide who shoved me aside at Starbucks.

Henry is so stinkin' cute and is always making the cutest faces and smiles in the photos! How does he feel about older women - my DD is 7.

I agree with everyone! Walking the boardwalk resort area is so nice! I can't wait to stay there one of these days.

Be sure to post if you ever plan a NYC DIS meet - I am about 3 - 3 1/2 hours away.

In case you didn't see Jen's (jenseib) post previously, she began a PTR HERE - Jen and Brook's Excellent Adventure - on our upcoming August Agent Education Program Trip. I am chiming in now with my plans, starting on Page 11. So, if you want to read all about that awesomeness, I'll see you there!

 

[onelilspark]

...I guess I'll go check it out!

 

[MEK]

I'll ride along with you Or I can pick you up. I don't mind driving in the city.

Count me in for a NYC Dis meet too! Hey MEK I will meet you at the train station

Cool - I now officially have traveling partners for the NYC meet! I'm excited!!!!!!

Chloe - good luck on your 1st 5K! How do you like training in this heat? YUCK!

Hey BE!

Getting caught up slowly but surely.

Great updates!

I was cracking up at Joe's expense over the Boardwalk dive bombing.

Too funny!

 

[MEK]

I'm so silly. I forgot to comment on the angry birds. Sheesh is all I can say. That fat bird looks entirely diabolical. I love your pictures. Are these with your iphone or regular camera? I can't quite get the results that you do with my iphone.

First of all, congratulations on ONE MONTH!

The Yacht Club looks gorgeous, almost like you really are aboard a ship, which I suppose is the point.

I think the Boardwalk is pretty great, too. It is beautiful, all on its own. I'm sure I'll be even more of a convert after this week.

The picture of Henry in front of the YC is priceless. I wish I could get Max to stop and look at the camera. Though, he is better at it than he was a month ago, thankfully.

Another great update, Brook, full of beautiful pictures. And yes EOS and the Disney Store would be so much fun!

 

[PopArtGal]

I like the fact that they give you plastic utensils. I don't know if I'd be comfortable using plates and such that have been used and maybe not cleaned that well by other people. You know.

 

[PopArtGal]

Isn't that sweet?

Are you back home now? How was the rest of your trip?

It was good. We walked around Times Squares a lot. And we went to see the Addams family musical, which I fell in love with! Brooke Shields was so much better than I anticipated!

 

[merbobear]

That's awesome! I try to do a room tour of everywhere we stay. And while we haven't done BCV yet, you probably noticed the letters BCV were in a comment on one of my videos. I think I have SSR, Movies, BLT, and BWV up. I'll definitely get Pop, YC and OKW this trip!

I have been inside a BCV 1-bedroom (a fellow DISer, wigdoutdismom). They are nice, but they do need a refurb. It's not awful by ANY means, but just things showing wear. However, the location and the POOL make up for some of that stuff!

Whoops, I totally mistyped, I meant bWv not bcv! It was your tour of a Boardwalk Villas studio, I believe! The tour was nice, it gives a better feel for the space rather than photos.

ONE MONTH!

 

[brookelizabeth]

we don't go camping to often but i still remeber camping when i was little. i am, so excited for you going in a month!!!

We only went when I was very young too - so I really enjoy taking my little guy! Even if it's only for a couple nights, it's still a fun experience.

I can't believe we are at a month!

Believe me guys. I was in NYC for 4 days and saw a TON of Brazilian tour groups. And there even was a tour guide who shoved me aside at Starbucks.

Oh my word! That is awful! Thankfully we don't see ANY of those groups out in Queens.

Henry is so stinkin' cute and is always making the cutest faces and smiles in the photos! How does he feel about older women - my DD is 7.

I agree with everyone! Walking the boardwalk resort area is so nice! I can't wait to stay there one of these days.

He LOVES older women! I'm not kidding! The other day we were on the train sitting across a 20+ gal and Henry was watching her. Then he whispers into my ear, "Mommy, she is pretty!" He's also told another 20+ gal that he loves her. Random girl on the train! It was adorable! A friend of mine here has a 7 year old girl and he tells me all the time that he misses her. So your DD would definitely be on Henry's radar! LOL!

another local for the meet! Yes! I will post it here for sure. I'm getting excited about this! Now we just need Earl to open!

...I guess I'll go check it out!

See you over there!

Cool - I now officially have traveling partners for the NYC meet! I'm excited!!!!!!

Chloe - good luck on your 1st 5K! How do you like training in this heat? YUCK!

Yay! It seems there will be a LOT of us! It will be so fun!!!

If she's training AT ALL in the heat color me impressed. I've been avoiding running lately...

I'm so silly. I forgot to comment on the angry birds. Sheesh is all I can say. That fat bird looks entirely diabolical. I love your pictures. Are these with your iphone or regular camera? I can't quite get the results that you do with my iphone.

Angry Birds. That's Henry's favorite game on the iPad! I will be remembering that next time I am with the boys and see some of those crazy birds to make a good joke to the boys!

All the pictures in the previous update were with my camera. I'll give you an example:

iPhone:

SLR:

The iPhone does really well in some situations. I've been impressed. It takes GREAT night shots without a flash! And in the daylight. But in low-light with a flash:

Meh.

What have your results been? I think on of the most impressive shots I've gotten with my iPhone is this one:

Hey BE!

Getting caught up slowly but surely.

Great updates!

Too funny!

GB! So good to hear from you! How are things? I miss your face around here. Any plans for conquering the World?

The bird incident was hilarious---to me! It was like slow-mo watching it happen...!

Yes! I almost wrote, "the Yacht Club looks like the deck of a ship." but then I figured it was fairly obvious...

I love the Boardwalk. LOVE. I could easily stay there again and again and again. The only thing I don't like about it is the lack of a good/quick spot t refill mugs and the food choices. BUT! Epcot is around the corner, so I can't complain too much.

Henry used to be better at stopping and posing. In the last few months he'll still stop but I get this pained expression, like he has to pee! So, this trip I'll probably get a few of those - but hopefully I can catch him laughing and things so it's more genuine!

I doubt you will even read this because you land at MCO in about an HOUR! HAVE A BLAST!!!!! I hope you can share a bit of the pixie dust via Facebook!

I like the fact that they give you plastic utensils. I don't know if I'd be comfortable using plates and such that have been used and maybe not cleaned that well by other people. You know.

I think about that every time I'm in a 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom because that is the real stuff. However, there are dishwashers...so if you are feeling a bit skeeved out, you can just throw everything quickly into a load!

But, I do like the plastic/paper for that reason. I'm a bit of a germaphobe.

 

[brookelizabeth]

It was good. We walked around Times Squares a lot. And we went to see the Addams family musical, which I fell in love with! Brooke Shields was so much better than I anticipated!

Awesome! That is the one Nikki and Todd are going to see too, right? I've heard its great. It didn't interest me at all, but from hearing reviews, it's growing on me - and now I'm kinda at the point where I want to see it.

So glad you had a great trip!! Did Josie go see Hair?

Whoops, I totally mistyped, I meant bWv not bcv! It was your tour of a Boardwalk Villas studio, I believe! The tour was nice, it gives a better feel for the space rather than photos.

Ah! Funny that we both mistyped the same thing! I really like doing the room tours too - I've had so many comments on those videos, I'm happy to have them help people!

ONE MONTH!

I can't believe it!!!!

I just jumped on Facebook and see Nikki and Todd's pictures from their trip to see the show! Looks like they loved it too!

Cool - I now officially have traveling partners for the NYC meet! I'm excited!!!!!!

Chloe - good luck on your 1st 5K! How do you like training in this heat? YUCK!

Yeah for traveling partners!

The heats not bothering me too much because I'm usually out running by 6:30am. I figure I have to get used to it for Florida anyway.

LOL! Sounds like a love match!

I think there are a lot of us in the PA/NY/DE/NJ area.

My iPhone photos are hit and miss - some are pretty good and some the coloring is just off or they are not crisp.

 

[PopArtGal]

I was not that attracted to Addams family at first. I had not seen any previews and did not know how they could make a new story that would be good. But I loved it and would love to see it again!

Josee ended up going to the bar at our hotel. There was a big band type of orchestra and she's really into that. She's also part of an orchestra and plays the french horn so she loved it very much.

I am still waiting on Nikki and Tom's verdict on Addams family. But I can't see how they wouldn't have at least liked it a bit
