Becca would be soooo jealous you saw Ashley Tisdale and Monique Coleman! She would have freaked out if she had saw them.
great update. It sounds like this was a really relaxing trip with no worries.

November 30 - December 7.
Jo - I just read your trip report posts. What a great report so far!!!
We stayed at ASMusic last year, and we are staying here in November. We stay in the Family Suites, and they have been very clean. I hate hearing about the mold. Did your shower ever get cleaned?
That is so awesome about the Dream Fastpasses.
I enjoyed reading about Epcot. I don't know anything about Epcot. We have been going to Disney for years, but never Epcot. This November trip will be our first time, so I like to read all I can about Epcot.
I can't wait to read more!!

Awww- thanks. I had just complained to DH the night before that happened that I just KNEW we wouldn't win anything- and that we probably wouldn't win in October, blah blah blah, and that we would have been there 4 times during the million dreams and blah blah blah... I am so spoiled rotten.
DH has made me that way- (of course, you have to know that he is only continuing the tradition- I'm an only child...
) if I want something, he does everything in his power to get it for me, but he couldn't do this, so I was a whiner, LOL. 
Hahaha- well, the bad thing is, I've never seen anything she was in.
Never watched HSM's. My son thinks she is beautiful, and has a mad crush on her. We didn't know who Corbin Bleu was last year, either! We had seen him and people were all over him, asking for his autograph and pics of them together- and DH was like" Who's that?" I said I don't know??? When we got home we were telling our kids and they got a pic of him and said is this him, and when we said yes, they almost died.
Stars are always around DH- he's been in the bathroom with Rod Stewart at the Dallas airport- had supper at a table next to Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood in Tulsa- saw Vince Gill and Amy Grant on the beach at Myrtle Beach- we both saw Jason Priestly and his new wife when they were on their honeymoon at a resort we were staying at in Mexico.... there's others, and now I can't remember them all-
I never know who I'm going to run into with him around.
Welcome! I will update the list!
Aww, thanks-
I love Epcot. It is my favorite. I think as an adult you appreciate the relaxation part of it more than if the kids are around. My son hates it, LOL, but he's a boy on the move.
Make sure you ride the ride in Norway, the one in Mexico- those are the only ones in the World Showcase. And tour around the shops and such. Take all the paths to see where they lead- you'll find some interesting bits!
If you have questions- I can try to answer as much as I can- just let me know.I will try to post the next day today- it's the longest one yet- and then, sadly, I have to WRITE our final day, which could take some doing. After I had written the other days, I needed a break. Thanks for reading the novel!

Okay- here's what we paid:
At the Enchanted grove- (MK, by the Teacups- Nescafe nasty stuff)-for a 12 oz cup, we paid $1.89 each plus tax.
At the Sleepy Hallow (MK- the one right to the left of the castle, looking at it)- 16 oz regualr coffee was $1.89, a Latte (it was teeny teeny tiny, like a shot of espresso) was $3.19. This was nescafe as well.
In DHS- at The Writer's stop (which hasn't been in the TR yet, but will be in the next installment) (this is the real stuff) -- a Gourmet regualr coffee was $1.40, a lg reg was $1.85.
In AK at the stand right before you enter the park, called Joffery's coffee (this is the real stuff as well) we paid $3.25 for a Grande, $4.00 for a venti regular.
The coffee stand at Epcot that serves the real stuff- in front of the lake, just before you get to Mexico and the WS- I can't find the receipt???? But I THINK it's Joffery's coffee also so it would be in line with the other one at AK.
And, at Aloha Isle in the MK, the coffee is NOT KONA - it's nescafe nasty and it was $1.89 for 12 oz regualr.
You can get Kona at the Poly- we just were never there when it wasn't sweltering hot- so we missed out on it.
HTH-

Wow! The only famous people I have met is George Lindsey (Goober from the Andy Griffith show) and Willard Scott. I went for one year to the same college George Linsdey went too and he always comes back at homecoming time. And WIllard Scott was shooting live from here because of that and I met them both at the same time.

LOL, Congrats on the dream fast passes. I am hoping we win something, noy because I want something free, but because I thik it would be a cool memory and make the trip even more exciting for the kids...LOL I'd actually like some of those ears.
Ha ha I didn't even know who Jo was talking about, so it shows how on top of the times I am!
And Willard Scott, Bama..... well Jen went to Al Roker's alma mater, so she's met another weather character!
As for me, I've met TONS of "celebrities." I think it's because I simply don't care..... for my part they're just people, some of whom are interesting and others of whom are boring and/or nasty. Even as a child I wasn't much interested in autographs and such! I guess that's the type of indifference that comes with growing up in New York, where celebrities are simply walking around all the time.

Well I have to admit I really wasn't sure who Willard Scott was when I first met him
I was a freshman in college and really wasn't focused on "News" then so didn't watch those morning news shows then.

Hi! I'm usually on the aol disney message boards but decided to come flounder over here.
I've got a trip planned Nov 28 - Dec 4th. We're staying 2 days at Pop, 2 days at AKL Savannah and 2 days at GF for my dd's 16th birthday. At the moment it's a surprise, but she will find out on her actualy birthday tomorrow. She will also find out her biffl is coming with us. I am keeping the resort hopping a secret as well as the Keys to the Kingdom tour and the MVMCP tickets

amgangi - WELCOME to the DISboards!!!! That sounds like a lot of resort hopping, you'll have to let us know which one you like the best when you get back! I hope your DD has a wonderful birthday, too!!! What a GREAT B-day present!!!
Thanks for the welcome
DD wants to go NOW, but I can't handle FL this time of year. But once she finds out her biffl is going, she's not going to care if she has to wait
I've stayed at AKL, but never at Pop or GF. I'm looking forward to the turndown service.
It is a bit of moving around, but I think we'll be ok with it since it's just the 3 of us.
