[GrammyJudy]

Great update...love the pictures from the train station. Love night pictures.
Question..how do you get the plants home? Do you ship them or take them on the plane?

 

[pas130]

Holy mileage WOW! I love the MK pics. I didn't do Buzz, (I was on Space Mtn with the girls) but DH took DS on it, it's little man's favorite. He likes to shoot stuff what can I say

Awesome Castle shots !!I love the Castle at night !!! Great score for Buzz !!! Mmm icecream !!!!Sounded like a wonderful day !!

Thanks.
it was a great day.

Awesome TR!! I just spent the morning getting caught up.:good vibes

We are DW newbs and are frantically trying to prepare for my big 4-OH birthday disapoalooza! lol Soooooo have been spending a fair bit of time pouring over TR's. I am subbing this one and can't wait for more!

Thanks a bunch for sharing!

Thank you. Glad you like it. We have 10 more days to get through. The next 1/2 chapter might not be helpful as it is Universal again.
Thanks again for joining in.

Buzz Lightyear is often a nighttime ride for us, too. It seems like we can usually walk on and then walk on one more time right away. Twice is good enough for me, but I know we have done it three times in a row a couple of times. Brooklynn likes it now that she understands the shooting part somewhat.

The pictures of Main Street and the train station are pretty.

There's that AoA tree that I never saw!

I briefly checked into the Fitbit and other things like it. I ended up not getting one, but if I get a decent amount back on my income tax, I think I might get one then. I think it might be motivating. I lost a little chunk of weight when I was sick, and I can tell a difference in my sleep apnea, so I need to keep that going.

I like it but not a must do for me. Vinny will not ride with me as he claims I cheat by spinning too much.
Glad you are felling better, you had us scared there for a bit being in the hospital. Not very magical but I read Jill's update last night on FB so that is good.
Not sur ehow the fitibt is. I was thinking of the new one but the reviews all say the clasp have a problem. The UP24 (new one) is only for Iphone or Ipad I have an Iphone but not sure f I want it. The regular UP is great.

Great update...love the pictures from the train station. Love night pictures.

Thanks.
In the past we shipped them but they are small so I put them in my check in wrapped in clothes to protect them.

Holy mileage WOW! I love the MK pics. I didn't do Buzz, (I was on Space Mtn with the girls) but DH took DS on it, it's little man's favorite. He likes to shoot stuff what can I say

it was a lot of walking. I cannot do SM as it is too jerky and messes with my vertigo.
Boys will be boys.

Great pictures of Main St & the castle!!

I always enjoy the Laugh Floor too.....funny

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Wow Scott, those Buzz ride photos came out great. I'm just so busy trying to max out my score (to no avail) I never have the camera handy.

Beautiful Town Square photos too. It looks so strange since the tree isn't up yet. Stupid parade taping, lol. Of course it can be good since there's nothing blocking the view of the castle.

Wow, almost 12 miles. It's amazing how much walking really is done in Disney.

 

[Blueyed Girl]

What "back entrance" was open? Do I know about this? Loved all your pictures again! I loved how much the color popped for the one's on Buzz.

 

[MEK]

Wow Scott you did some serious walking that day! I often wonder how far I walk in Disney. I'm pretty sure its not that much.

Great pictures on Buzz and you look great in your ride picture. I usually look like I'm ready to take someone's head off because I'm always concentrating so hard.

I just love the castle at night. So pretty!

 

[Trentmom]

Great pics of Buzz. Colors looks so bright!!

Good score

Love those icicles lights. so pretty

The view from top of station looks awesome


Love the AOA lobby. So pretty!!!

They do a great job in there.

Thanks. I usually am trying to beat someone but this time I was by myself so I figured why not.
Thanks.
There is a lot of walking involved there but it felt great everyday. I tell all new people to take breaks and go slow, you will be back.

When you enter the park and you see the hat store make a right and they were letting people go that way because Main St was packed.
Thanks.

First time I ever went up to take a pic there.
It was pretty in the lobby.
Your trip is so close. Have a magical time.

What a great evening. Fantastic update. Loved the pictures inside Buzz and of the castle. You did a lot of steps.

I think you DID get up early the next morning.

 

[NancyLuvsMickey]

Dang, that's some serious mileage you put on!!! Way to go!!!

 

[jenseib]

A wonderful night on your own. I do enjoy alone time too.

I always wonder how much I walk at Disney too. I bet we all walk a lot more than we think. Our feet sure know though!

 

[mickeystoontown]

My word! You had a busy day and your step/mileage calculator is proof! Your nighttime and ride pictures turned out so good. Mine are always blurry.

 

[franandaj]

Im glad you went back out. It looks like you had a great evening. Thats a lot of ground you covered!

I'd say with all the folks you met and seeing NPH you had a great day!

 

[Janet B]

Hi Scott,
Love the Buzz pix, so colorful and eye catching, nice game Space Scout Scott! (Do you know where the high scoring targets are? There are some you know.) BTW like Vinny, I swear my DD loves to spin us just to throw off my game…. we are a little competitive

Great PP pix too Mine is usually a look of total concentration and determination (aka the aforementioned competitiveness).

We love MK at night. Nothing better to see it all lit up and especially with icicles.

And that is some foot power!! Way to go!

The feet definitely know.

I found one once and I cannot remember.
You should ride with Vinny then. I really don't do that but you have to spin to get the most shots in.
Mine to but I was playing with myself so need to try to beat my score.
MK is gorgeous at night.
Thanks

So, what kind of plant did you get? I bought a vanilla plant one time but sadly it didn't make it I would love to grow my own vanilla beans

Great night shots, I love the one from the train station!!

 

[DisneyJo]

For some reason your photos often don't show for me so I have to keep checking till they do

You definitely had a busy day, your Buzz photos were great - very vibrant, and I love the Christmas Castle shots

 

[KatMark]

We will stay in them when we run out of points and still want to go. Still prefer POP though. I did prefer this resort to Kidani. God do I hate that resort. I cannot even explain how much I do and yet Jambo House is my favorite DVC. Go figure. Oops! Just read read you are staying there. Hope you have a better experience.
Coming up now.

We stayed at Kidani in 2011 and will be there next month and September. Hopefully we won't have any issues. We LOVED our stay there.

Great pic of Jim and Lorrie on one of our favorites -- People Mover!

You got some terrific shots around Tomorrowland...the colors are very vibrant.

We did Laugh Comedy in December with the girls for the first time in several years. It will probably be several years before we go back, but it was fun to go again.

I love your pictures at the front of the park, especially the soldiers. You really did a great job wtih your photo taking.
