Mornin' MAYers!

I really miss saying that everyday.

We are still in SC, heading back to PA on SUnday. I am really having a hard time knowing I am not going to WDW since we have left from here so many times to go down there.

Sulley, I hope your Mom is okay and won't need surgery. How did she fall?

Good luck with your habla espanol. I took it, and I can't speak it!!!!! That was the class in College that I had the infamous Mountain cow/ regular cow story from. I don't know if your remember me talking about many pages ago.

Hey DMM! How are you feeling?

Okay, anyone watching Big Brother? Let's talk about that here.

Yay! Nothing like a cup of coffee in the morning with a piece of dark chocolate to go with it. My MIL knows how to LIVE.

Going out to the pool for the day. Have a great weekend everyone!!


Jo

PS... I miss you all.
PSS...Shelly, are you flooded from the rain? I am not looking forward to that weather after all of this sun.

LOL....I do remember the mountain cow/regular cow story....LOL ....

My mom fell when she stepped off the bottom step from the deck, she just stepped down wrong and ended up falling, she's not sure but she thinks that she tried to catch herself and that's what resulted in the broken wrist....one of the breaks is actually a shatter break, so depending on whether the surgeon thinks it'll heal on it's own will depend on whether or not she gets surgery.

Lucky duck, getting to go to the pool.....It's been hot here, and supposed to be hotter tomorrow (99 w/ heat index of 105-115).....The pool sounds awesome.

Hey JO! We actually haven't had too much rain here. It did rain hard on Thursday I think. But I did hear they got a lot more a bit south of here. So that would probably be in your area! Supposed to be 91 tomorrow

YES, I watch and love Big Brother!! I've been waiting for it to come on since we got back from Disney!!


Thanks to everyone who has visited my Trip Report!

Shelly - I really don't have a lot of pictures of CSR, but check out this link here:

http://coronado_springs.tripod.com/

This guy's web site convinced me that this was the best place for us. There are a ton of photos at this site and lots of information.

Here are a few things we really liked about CSR:

1. It was quiet! Although we were near the main pool, we hear nothing once we were inside our room and the door was closed. They planted trees and shrubbery behind the pool area to cut the noise down.

2. You are very close to Disney MGM and Animal Kingdom. We heard that the bus ride is about 5-10 minutes away from CSR. If you drive by car, it is about 5 minutes. Epcot and Magic Kingdom is about 10-15 minutes away from CSR. We also liked having the parking pass which allowed us to park at any park or resort without any additional costs.

3. Beautiful surroundings and well kept up buildings. The place looks new and is extremely clean. You can even rent a paddle boat and glide around the lake.

4. The food is fantastic at Pepper Market. You get a lot for your money. We shared our meals and we were stuffed. The best thing about this place is that they cook your food right in front of you.

5. The staff is very responsive and helpful. We always had plenty of towels. They even sent my wife a card from Mickey and friends on her birthday.

We were thinking about staying off site to save a few bucks, but in the long run, it was well worth spending the extra cash and getting the Disney treatment. Overall, we were extremely happy with CSR and would love to come back again soon.

Thanks for all the great CSR info Seacrest! Only 18 months to go !!

Okay, Not sure if this is allowed, but I promised Lake a mini Niagara Falls Canada trip report!!

Left here at about 8:30AM and were in Canada by 11:30AM. Very nice, quiet trip up. The kids watched their Disney DVD's in the blazer and were very good! Checked into our hotel and unpacked and took some pictures. Here's the view from our room!

American Falls:

Canadian Falls:

Went out and walked to the falls. It was a lot farther away than it looked from the hotel! And boy was it HOT! It was in the mid 90's that day. I told DH - I'm ready to go back to Florida, it wasn't this hot there!!

A closer look at the falls!

American Falls:

Canadian Falls:

Did a little sightseeing and shopping. DS 5 managed to find a "Mickey head"!! I have trained him well!

Walked to Clifton Hill. A very big tourist area with lots of things to do!

This is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in the wax museum!

Had some dinner and went back to the hotel to get cleaned up and changed. Went back out in the evening and played dinosaur mini-golf and rode the giant Skywheel.

And looked at the falls illuminated! Too bad the night pictures didn't come out better. . .

Overall a very nice little trip!

Hey Shelly pictures are great. I'm glad you had a good vacation.

 

[addicted2dizney]

wow, great shots! can you please PM me when you get a chance? I would love to know what hotel you stayed at. I'm planning a 4-5 day trip in August to the falls and just not getting excited about it. I wanna go to Disney! DH said I could take the kids there too as long as he didn't have to go! Fine with me as long as I get my Disney fix but still... I do want to make the trip to Niagra fun for the family and my no so "DH" DH!

Thanks! I will PM you. The hotels up there are very expensive, that's why we only went for one night!! Actually everything there is very expensive, even more so than Disney, we were surprised.

I'm here

It's summer so probably everybody is busy with their Families and stuff. I just received the DVD planning for the disney cruise. it looks great i think i might want to do that for our next vacation. has anybody been on a Disney cruise?????

 

[addicted2dizney]

lol...
Planning for Niagra is going well... Been working on a mini Disney trip perhaps in September. I'm too late for the Free DDP. What do you all think, do I have a shot of getting any ADR's for Sept 12-16th at this point?

Yes, I want to know how Michelle's doing too!

 

[seacrestpromo]

Hey everyone...been laid up the last few days. Got food poisoning and was totally out of it. Feeling a lot better today, I think I am going to eat a full meal for the first time in 5 days today. LOL! Oh well, my pants fit a lot better around my waist now.

Went to a big family wedding last weekend. All the cousins, aunts and uncles were there. What a party!

Meanwhile, the dryer broke down - got a new one. Wife is happy.

Fox has turned 20 or so 7-11 stores around the US into "Kwik-E-Marts", as a promotion for the upcoming Simpson's movie. There is one near my house. I will post photos and link up tonight. My son came home with a Buzz cola, Krusty O's and a Squishee - oh joy.

Haven't seen the new Pixar movie yet, my boys are raving about it - so hopefully this Friday my wife and I will catch a showing. So so busy.

And I am almost finished with our WDW trip slide show. Stay tuned!

Hey everyone!! I am here. Just busy with the heat. We have been swimming every day and the girls are doing so great with it.

I went away for the night last weekend with my girlfriends to the Long Island Vineyards. It was nice but I missed my family. We agreed in five years we would try a trip to Napa. I would love that.

How is everyone!!

Seacrest- I would love to see the pics of the kwikie marts. How cool
