Got home a couple hours ago and all caught up!
I saw the pictures from the Tangled party on Facebook and it looks like it was a huge success. I love the parties that Jill has for the girls.
Starring Rolls is definitely on my list of places to try. I'd love to split a cupcake from there with someone, and I have a few that I'd like to suggest to whoever I'd be splitting it with!
Glad you got to hang out with us for a while. Since school had started, things have slowed down around most of the DIS reports I read. Everyone is swamped with real life stuff!
Those cupcakes are definitely big enough to share, but you could always get 2-3 and take the leftovers back to the room for a snack later.
Hi MeMom & Jill. Have not been on the Dis too much lately but just got all caught up.
I love all the pics of Brooklynn's party. What a great job Jill & everyone!! Such great ideas.
The kids here go back next week. Cody does not go back until 9/1. Hope you are having a great start to this school year.
Just booked our room for Oct. I could not get POFQ for the AP discount so we are booked at POR. We have never stayed there but hopefully will like it.
I check every day to see if there are any rooms at POFQ.
We used to start in September - after Labor Day. Then it move back a week and then another and another. Next year the kids start on August 1st. They just passed the calendar issue. Teachers will report back toward the end of July. We're supposed to get out May 24th, I believe.
Maybe you should just stick with POR and try something new. You might really like it.
Don't worry about DIS time. None of us have had much of that lately. We're always glad to have everyone whenever they can be around.
A great idea. It was great at DHS since the walk was short and the ride was short too.
If I ever get to be President of Disney World, I'll fix the bus stop numbers.
And I'll give free premium annual passes away to all of my friends.
And their families.
Looks like you must've got some great Photopass pictures! And I can totally see that lady telling her kid that. Someone needs to explain to her the magic of Disney photopass photographer and I really think you should've gotten a photo MeMom Hehehehe I love the Duffy graduation bears and the "What Time is the 3:00 parade?" shirt
Oh I hate how far away all the value resorts are from the entrance especially at DHS, so very annoying I don't know if I'll be staying at a value again, but I'm pretty sure they are some of the most packed resorts and Disney... so why so far away? But at least you got a comfy Cruise Line Bus, a big plus
Can't wait to read more!
Just an occasional picture for me. I prefer taking the pictures over being in them.
That's okay about the bus stops. At the end of a day, we are tired, but the fact that we are able to be in WDW puts enough pep in my step for us to make it to the faraway bus stops.
The Art of Animation stores are some of my favorite on property! I have bought a few things in there in years past and have dreamt about buying many more!
Ed sounds like such a nice guy and what a sweetheart for walking you directly onto TSMM! Talk about First Class Service! Or maybe just some Pixie Dust!
Just found out last night that my two younger kids won't be starting school now until Sept 12th. There was mold found in the Elementary School, so they are replacing the carpets, cleaning the ducts and cleaning the library books! It was just decided late last night, so hopefully this 4-day delay is enough time to get it all done. My kids are excited to get another week off for the summer. My oldest, who is in the Middle School, will start on time (Sept 6th). She was ready start the day after school was out for the summer, so she's relieved there's no delay for her!
I am glad they are getting the mold problem solved.
Yeah, the first class service was nice. I don't expect we'll get that good treatment too often.
A PIXAR playground would be amazing.
My dad wants to do DVC, I would want to, too. It's on my Bucket list.
You have a lot of years ahead to be able to get your DVC going.
We need to get some Imagineers going on that playground.
We are traveling down via car early early on the 15th and hope to be checked in by 12:00 on the 16th. We planned this day as a non park day, but I have an AP so I can be flexible. If you PM me, I would love to get the details of your meet.
I will get with Anita and the
MNSSHP girls and let you know.
Hi there! I am finally getting caught up. Fantabulous Tangled party! Those were the neatest Fastpasses. I've never seen any like that before. We looked for Ed on our DHS day this summer both times we rode TSMM but didn't see him either time. Must've been his day off.
Started back to work "officially" today although I've been working in my room quite a bit before today. Meetings all day today and more tomorrow. They throw all this stuff at us and then wonder why we look like zombies!
Please send prayers and good thoughts for those of us here on the East Coast, especially the Outer Banks of NC and we here in Hampton Roads, VA as we are about to get pounded by Irene. My in-laws have a whole house generator so we will be heading up there Saturday morning to 'weather' the storm. I'm downloading another book to my Kindle and got some laminated stuff to cut-I'm all set!
Those not in the storm track-have a good weekend! East Coasters, stay safe!!!!
Keep us posted on everyone, please.
It's Friday night, so I am not going to address the school comment. I am blocking school-related things out of my mind until Sunday evening.
That's cool that you guys got the cruise line bus! Nice & comfy.
great update..can't wait for more!
Of course, it was just a short ride to Pop, so we didn't get to pretend we were cruising for too long.
I would love to be able to decorate my whole house with Disney art. I love all the prints.
Yep, there are some very cool ones!
I love the "magic" PP pictures, even if you do look like a fool when the PP photographer is taking the shot
Shopping out of the park is always a fun idea and it serves 2 purposes...shopping and cooling off in the A/C!
I'm freaking out a little bit right now...we leave for the midwest to see tinkgurl and her family tomorrow morning!!!
You guys have a great time together.
-When I was at TSM the Drink station wasn't open yet 
-Love all the toy story merchandise!
They do have lots of fun Toy Story stuff.
Hi DIS friends! I'm home from Vermont and I just got all caught up. We had a great time. My mom was fine and she's feeling pretty good. She's going back to work on Tuesday. I did about half of the 5 hour drive on the way up, but she actually did the whole drive home today, with a stop in the middle for food. I offered to do some of the driving but she said she was fine.
Originally we were supposed to come home Saturday, but we decided to come home Friday so I'd have the whole weekend to get ready for school. Then we heard that the hurricane is heading for New England so we came home a day earlier so we could have tomorrow to do grocery shopping and stuff like that before the storm hits, which is apparently supposed to be Sunday now. My first day of classes got cancelled, so I don't start until Tuesday. Move in day was supposed to be Saturday but they moved it to Monday, so classes were cancelled that day. So I went from having one full day after our trip, to four full days
Apparently all of New England is supposed to get hit. It was actually already REALLY windy in Vermont yesterday and today. We got a dead birch tree in our yard taken down before we left for Vermont. That would definitely be falling over in the storm if we hadn't done that! I loved that tree but it would've either fallen on our new roof or onto my car so I'm glad we got it taken down!
Happy very belated Birthday Brooklynn!
Those bus stops are confusing. I think AK is the park where we have to walk pretty far to the WL stop. At MK it's one of the first stops, which is silly because most people take the boat anyway.
I'm glad your mom is feeling better. You guys don't get anything smashed by trees this weekend, please!
why aren't all the bus stop numbers resort specific. I think that would make a lot of sense.
