Mickey, Minions & more. 2 week holiday. Updated 9/14 - FINAL THOUGHTS

Home.










Wonderful pictures, Scott. Thank you.
:thumbsup2
Thank you.

Love the carousel! That little table would be awesome in your new place :goodvibes Wonder if you can find one on eBay or something...:scratchin
I should look online and see if I can get one similar.

The Christmas Village is awesome. :thumbsup2

The horses on the carousel are amazing, aren't they? Such detail.

I love all the Yacht and Beach Club pictures. I wish I was walking out of a Beach Club room this morning getting ready for an Epcot day. Marc and Anita are right across the water at Boardwalk this morning. I am pretty jealous. ;)
:thumbsup2
The detailing they put into the displays are amazing.
I would like to be walking out of any hotel. :rotfl2:
I saw they checked in there on FB. Seems like they are having fun and I am jealous too.

I love the beach club but it looks so much like Maine and since we go there often, it is not enough Disney for me and don't think I'd want to stay there. But the pool is amazing and we liked Cape May when we ate there.
:thumbsup2
I want to stay for the pool alone and the close proximity of Epcot and DHS.
 
Loving the pictures from the Y & BC! I really need to work a trip during the holiday season!

You take really nice pictures of all the great decorations!

You should see it at the holidays, just gorgeous.

Thank you.
 

When we last left off we were done seeing the Beach Club decorations and were moving onto Boardwalk. We walked outside and saw this.


Pretty trash can.


Then we walked across the bridge.


Gorgeous!






We are getting closer.


Quack!


I have never stopped here to take photos. Maybe one day.


This will be leaving in a few months.


She was just on “Americas best Cook” as a team leader.




I love that they put a tree up outside.


Another view with plants and flowers.


Map of the resort.


Then we started to go inside.


This was a cute mat.




Let’s see some decorations.


Same to you.




Creepy chairs. They are usually there.


I sat down while Vinny went to get a snack. I think I had one too but didn’t care for it.


Yep this is where he went.


I liked this display.


Con't...
 
A smaller tree.


Vinny was still having a snack so I went to the store for water. I passed this along the way.


Tree in the store.




Pretty!




Then we went outside to catch the bus.


We waited a bit for the bus to come but we were soon on it and passing this along the way.


We were heading here but were we going here or another location?


Up next,

We meet up with Renee and what they do for me is fantastic
 
Great walkaround the Epcot resorts. Looks like you really saw them all.

Hmmm.....those chairs are creepy; but then they do match the clown pool.

I wonder if you're heading to one of the monorail resorts???? popcorn::
 
I had a lot of catching up to do!

Great job with your tour of the resorts and their Christmas decorations. Seeing your photos of the lobby for BW reminds me of the gingerbread scent. What great memories. Not sure if you tried the gingerbread from BW's gingerbread house kiosk. I bought several to bring back to friends. I ate one of the cookies and it was horrible. I felt bad sharing them with my friends.

I'm glad to see you include a PTR inside a TR for your upcoming Italy trip. Your plans have me completely jealous that the Italy in Epcot is as close as I will get for some time. Sounds like a great trip for you, Vinny, and your travel group. :thumbsup2
 

The flowers in some of the Disney resorts are amazing. You really have to see them in person to comprehend how pretty they are, but this is certainly a great picture. GF always has some beautiful flowers. I talked to a CM one time as I was taking pictures of an arrangement there, and he told me that one would be sent to a nursing home the next day. I cannot even imagine the megabucks WDW spends on fresh flowers! :faint:
 
Love all your pictures of the resorts around the Epcot area! The decorations are just beautiful!! Love those resorts! My wish list still includes Beach/Yacht Club!! Stayed at BW & loved it!!!
 
Loved the decorations at Beach Club. So gorgeous there.

That carousel looked yummy

Boardwalk looked nice too, but little too fancy for me

But Carousel was nice looking there too
 
Caught up.

I really wish we had the time to see the resort displays. They are so pretty.

Love all your pictures. I have been going through mine from my trip and I am not happy at all. I should have taken the point and shoot as my DSLR still seems to have issues.
 
:wave2: Scott,

well I'm not caught up (but vow to do so!) I'm happy that your TR has not ended. (Sorry to be so MIA... schoo, work and teenage DD LOL)

Love the pix I saw of the Epcot decorations! As usual your pix are picture perfect with such vivid colors! :thumbsup2 :goodvibes

Cool coaster at BW! :cool1: And those Beach Club pix and especially the Carousel! Love it! Guess I need to return in December to see all the holiday decorations we missed. :)

And a very Happy Anniversary to you and Vinny!! :)

And it your italy trip sounds fabulous! :yay:
Janet

Love the POP and Dolphin pix... and wow on the poinsetta tree!!

Love Pop. Very festive :goodvibes

That tree is humongous at Dolphin. Never been in there. so cool getting a peak into all of these resorts :woohoo:

Agree :)

The Pop pictures are dear to my heart, of course. We started out value and stay mostly value still, and since Pop was our first on-site stay, it will always be special to us. Having said that, we very much understand why some people can't 'do' the values. We've stayed moderate, deluxe, and DVC, and boy, are they nice! Who couldn't love the nicer décor and the amenities?!?!? If I could do Beach Club or AKL every time, I imagine I would! When I have my house paid off and can afford to buy some DVC points, I plan to get a few, and we will enjoy them immensely. We might stay mod and deluxe more then, too, but for the ability to take more trips and longer trips within a teacher's budget, I am happy to stay value. We really like Art of Animation, too, with its newer, cleaner feel. We would probably do suites there quite often if they had doors that opened to the outside or balconies.

As much of a shopper as I am, I didn't make it through the Pop gift shop in December to see all the fun Christmas stuff. The one night Jill wheeled me to AoA to try to see the tree, she asked if I wanted to look through that gift shop, but I couldn't. I just wanted to get back in the bed.

Resort hopping is one of my favorite things to do in WDW, so I am very much enjoying your photo walk fun. In every group of pictures, I can so easily smell the smells and hear the sounds of that particular resort. The trouble with my resort love now is that I feel like I have to visit every resort on every trip, and fitting that in does not often work. I get in most of them, though. I will resort hop many afternoons when the girls go back to the room for naps. I just love the different atmospheres and experiences at each one, and I feel like I have been so many different places in one short period of time.

MeMom.. POP is very special to me as well! I've been fortunate to have been to Disney many times over the last few years and have enjoyed every resort we have stayed at... POP is just so homey feeling and packs a great wow factor! :).. it's always special to return there. And I was able to do so with Rosie in December (and meet Scott). :) :yay:

I've always enjoyed your pix of POP. Hoping you are able to return for a must do do-over... :)

Okay, back to our regular Scott reporting... :goodvibes
 
I am still loving the resort tours and decorations. I wish I could swing a holiday trip this year
 
Hi,
I am back. I was in West Virginia for a few days visiting family. I will do replies tomorrow and post a new update then too.

Thank you. We did. I was happy to see them.
:rotfl2: That is very true.
You will find out soon.

I know the feeling.
Thanks. I love the scent. That is where we got the treats and it was not good.
:lmao: Maybe you will get to Italy sooner than you know.

They are pretty. Thanks.
Nice they send them to a nursing home.

Love all your pictures of the resorts around the Epcot area! The decorations are just beautiful!! Love those resorts! My wish list still includes Beach/Yacht Club!! Stayed at BW & loved it!!!
Thank you.
It is on my wish list too.
