Ugh sunburns are bad enough, but when they are uneven that's just super frustrating!
Glad your plans for October are coming together, I hope you do a PTR!
It's finally starting to even out a little bit! The weird lines aren't so harsh anymore...I guess it isn't summer without one weirdo sunburn, LOL!
I will probably break down and do one after I get this report wrapped up...my mom is getting so excited, and I'm so happy I'm able to take her!
Animal Kingdom is a great time, no question!
It's amazing, I agree!!
I always have problems when using spray sunblock. I miss spots and end up with burn lines. I had a sunblock mishap on Sunday. I somehow made it through a week of FL in July with no issues but went to the local pool a day after we got home and got super burnt. I started to apply sunblock while at home but since everyone was waiting for me I stopped and figured I'd do it at the pool. Well I guess I forgot or didn't remember which parts I missed. But you can see on my neck where I had sunblock on and then my chest is bright red. And the front of right leg was red. My left just a little bit. So weird. At least I only mess up my sunblock application and not the kids.
We're doing one night at POP before moving to the BW for our November trip. Like you we're getting in late and just plan on sleeping.
Do a PTR! <---- Says the person who can't get their stuff together to do one themselves.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has spray sunblock problems!! I was like, how old am I? Why can i not manage this sunscreen?? LOL!! Everyone else was fine, just not me.
I almost did the same thing as you today at the pool...I had one arm done, got distracted by X needing his back sunscreened, and then sat down. Luckily I remembered to do the other arm so I didn't end up with one burned and one fine. Talk about uneven
I will make sure to report back to you on how Pop works out for the one night...I booked preferred and have a Touring Plans fax request for ground floor, 70s Bldg 10. It seems like the closest to the main building. I'm hoping to take one of the new Minnie vans with our luggage to Poly that morning before heading to Mk. After saying that, I think I really do need to get a PTR going so I can organize my thoughts!! I talked to my mom today and mentioned my spreadsheet and she laughed at me. She has no idea, haha!
I laughed far longer than I should have at that.
This is how I know I like you, LOL!!
Wow, you've been busy with all the updates. I fell way behind so lots to catch up on.
Wow, that is quite the wake-up call. Million dollar view.
Why yes it is
My sleepy crew has never even seen a rope drop either.
I'm gonna hold you to that
Well I gotta say you have gone above and beyond in the trip report this time. In all my years on here, I don't think I have ever seen a picture of the laundry room.
Love it. She's like rainbow brite Minnie!
Wow, I have never seen or heard about this before. How amazing!!!!!!! Do they do this often now???? I'd love to see some of those characters. Especially Big Al!
Ya know what they say, one persons head is another persons tripod
Breathtaking!
I got update happy there for a bit...it comes in bursts, LOL!! Right now I'm just so anxious to get it all wrapped up.
The view was the best. Each morning I wake up at home and gaze out at my own yard...but the only animals I see are my four dogs, one of which insists on making sure everyone in the world can see him take care of his morning business. It's not quite the same peaceful experience. My chihuahua leaps when she runs and kind of looks like an antelope, but that's as close as I get
I love rope drop...I feel panicky if I miss it, although I try to play it cool when we don't make it (which is admittedly rare). I was CRACKING UP over the duck wandering around like he was on his way to work, too!
My DH bought a lottery ticket for tonight's drawing b/c it's his birthday today...so cross your fingers, I'm in Disney withdrawl pretty badly right now! We could all storm the castle and take over the MK. It would be awesome!
Haha, I know it wasn't the most thrilling update, but we always end up doing laundry during our trips and I always have a hard time finding pictures of resort laundry...plus, this one at AKL was so NICE. I want it at my house. I need all those washing machines!! (and then someone to come fold and put away for me, because that's the worst part!)
She was very Rainbow Brite-y! Anything even remotely 80s-ish gets my attention. Like a dog with a squirrel!
I think the hoedown thing is everyday?? This was around 5:30 I think...it was super fun to watch, and I loved seeing the characters. It's one thing to see them waving from a parade float or whatever, but seeing them so close was a rush. I fangirl pretty hard over the country bears! We met Wendell at
MVMCP and it was so exciting (traumatized my youngest, though, he thinks they're creepy!!)
Maybe I was the rude one...why on earth didn't I just hold still and let him get his shot??
I just wish I knew what he was thinking at the time. I need to know!
Glad you enjoyed your BOMA breakfast- and that you didn't have to worry about EMH!
Love the pictures as you walked in!
OMG that squirrel wanted to be your best friend! I would have screamed too!
Wow, must have been cool to have the Seas all to yourself! I guess that's a perk of going there first while everyone else goes to Soarin/Test Track/FEA!
And after all that, you still got on Soarin with such a short wait!
The topiaries by the festival center are SO cute, great pics!
The Boma breakfast was good...anywhere with Disney bread pudding is a win for me, though.
That squirrel FREAKED ME OUT. I have a weird relationship with squirrels anyway. I think they're cute from far away, but I don't like the way they move (it's a weird phobia, I know, LOL!). Once, when I was a kid, I heard a loud bang on my window, and I opened the curtain and a squirrel was clinging to the screen. Since then I've been a tiny bit creeped out by them. I was fine with it being close until it got TOO close. I am just happy I haven't seen any Dis threads titled, "Crazy lady screamed at squirrel at Epcot" with a video attached! I know at least one group was taking pictures, it was embarrassing
Love Boma for breakfast and dinner so good. Wow they did hide you in the back
Beautiful pictures I especially like the one of the yellow monorail coming towards you over the water just stunning.
I also like the one of SE from Finding Nemo.
Disney squirrels are super friendly though I've never had one hop on my foot
That's great finding a FP for FEA
They did shove me back there! Flashbacks to the long walk from our Boardwalk room to the elevator in December, haha!! It was by the window though, which was nice!
This was a good picture day, some of my favorites I think. I am going to try to get more from that angle over Nemo again in October when hopefully the sun won't be so glaring.
That squirrel! He was a menace
I was pretty proud of that FEA pass! I couldn't believe one was available.
OMG literally our exactly plan from our last day too! Time and everything!!
I love this picture!
I may have laughed out loud at this.
At least it didn't stop while you were alone. Now THAT would be creepy
It's a plan that works well! Definitely try to go down a little early if you can, they'll seat you and it's empty in there, which is nice!!
I do too! I like the purple tree
It was hysterical. If I had seen it happen to someone else I'd have cracked up...but now I might need therapy for squirrel phobia! I already had a mild one anyway, this ramped it up a bit, LOL!!
I'd have been so creeped out if it had stopped while I was alone!! Ack!
Haha I don't think it's for the tip, I also thought you look too young to have kids that old!
Haha, thank you!! I feel about 100 most days. I never thought about being on the younger side of other moms with kids the same age as my own until I started doing all the PTO stuff. One of my good friends just found out my mom is the same age as her husband and had a mild freak out.

They did that to me too when I ate there solo!
I have to assume this is why
I don't think so,
(well maybe she was fishing for a bigger tip but it's true)! You do not look old enough to have a teen and an almost teen
I told Josh how old your sons were after we met, and he was quite surprised too.
But you didn't get a make your own omelet
Oh no! I feel so bad but this sounds like it was so funny...to watch...not for you. I had a chipmunk surprise me once by running over my foot and I screamed a lot.
And Disney seems to think Figment isn't popular anymore! Did you see the Figment ears they're having for Food & Wine? I need them!
I've heard the green side is going to be different now? Not sure exactly how because I've never been on it.
Looking good because there's no chunks of monorail falling on you
I wanted to use that gif but I can't get mine to work from flickr
It's one of my favorite Office scenes EVER (and we LOVE the Office...we played the theme song at our wedding as we exited the ceremony!!)
I'm sure there's a logical reason, like just having all of the two top tables back there, but I choose to feel offended, like they were shunning us
- haha!!
Aw, well I appreciate Josh's surprise, lol! I have to compartmentalize my feelings about my age...like, I have so many adult responsibilities with my PTO boards and things, and I have to deal with school administration and the school board and the superintendent and present myself in a professional manner...but I don't want to talk about closing achievement gaps and nutritional guidelines. That's lame! All I want to do is talk about Disney World and watch trash tv
I did not get an omelet! I didn't think about it until I had sat down, and after the bread pudding I was too full
I admit, the squirrel thing was funny. I'm sure I looked like a crazy person
I have not seen the F&W Figment ears!! I am going to go look for them as soon as I finish typing!!
I think the green side is supposed to be different, and then like updates or something for orange? I haven't read too much about it, but have mostly been sighing dramatically because now I feel like I have to ride both sides again...and I don't like the ride. It's one of Leyton's favorites and i do not understand.
Hahaha!!Yes, that poor old monorail!! Can you even imagine seeing that happen??
What?!!?!?
Gorgeous
Been there. Done that. Ahhh, the price we pay as solo trippers
Like, ya know, being shoved into the corner at breakfast....
How odd, that's exactly how I take
my payments, too!
That squirrel was scary!!
Elsa needed a pick me up in December...her arms just dangled sadly at her sides, poor thing
breakfast banishment
I'm glad it wasn't combined with being alone on Figment. I didn't post my Dinosaur ride photo, but it looked like more solo shunning...they put me in the row with the handicapped accessible seat, so I'm way on the other side of the car from the other people in my row. But when given the choice between that and the guy from the safari who was too close for comfort, I think I'll take the shunning
Ok, now I want cookies. Great.

Three and a half weeks until we go back.
