Yay!! You're back! I hope Lindsey had a great birthday trip! 
We really did love SSR. Joe kept saying he couldn't understand what people didn't like. I have to say I don't get it either. Of course we did have a great room in a great location. The food at the Artist's Pallette was good and every CM was fantastic. We must be really easy to please but we would go back in a second.
Funny though because I don't think we've ever actually eaten at the Artist's Palette! LOL. Probably because we are always in Congress Park which is further from there and we typically buy some stuff to keep in the room.
Thanks a bunch!
Thank you Christie! It was hard to pick which ones to post. The photographer did a wonderful job.
The photographer's name was Lynne and she was fantastic. She was really good with the girls and SOOOOOO nice. If you're like us you never stop long enough to get family pics so it was a nice change for us.
Thanks TK! Pics were taken at the Poly. There's a photopass kiosk on the second floor right inside the entrance leading from the monorail. I had won the session and a free CD at the WHW. As soon as she was done shooting us she made the CD for us. She also gave me the photopass card to go with it.WOWzer! Where did you take the photos? Were they part of the PP CD? I love all the pics especially the ones in the hammock and the family picture at the end!
Priceless
It was fun!
Thanks Kylie!

I think the photo shoot is around $75 but I could be wrong. Our photographer did tell me that we got a 20% discount for being DVC. There might be other discounts out there too so you may want to check around. I've heard of people getting it for $25.
Hi Queen! Thanks for the sweet words on the pics. I hope to get an update up tomorrow night. Joe will be working then and tonight Lindsey and I have volleyball so we will be tied up most of the evening.Those pictures are absolutely gorgeous!! They actually made me well up!! I have seen the ones they use for display in the deluxe resorts and yours top all of them!!!! I'm glad your home and I can't wait to hear all about Sea World...we haven't been there since 2005
Aww you are too sweet Julia! I plan to frame the pics of the girls in the hammock. The lighting is beautiful in those.Those pictures are awesome!! I love, love, LOVE the ones of the girls in the hammock! What a great prize! You have a beautiful family.
Thanks B! I have big ideas on what to do with the pics.I love your photos, too! They are all so good, but I really like the one of the girls in the hammock and those last two of the whole family!
Thank you so much!What great pictures!!! Those are just gorgeous.
I'm sorry you had rude teen encounters....and I hear ya on the, um, lack of clothes on some of the young ladies. Every trip, I am shocked at least once about how some of them look. You wonder, if they are there with their parents, how they let them leave inthe morning looking like that. But I guess I am just a fuddy-duddy.
It was a bit much, there was absolutely nothing left to the imagination on these girls. Joe will kill me if I ever let the girls leave the house looking that....not that I ever would. Hiya Wendy! Lindsey had a great trip and I have to tell ya....it was significantly cheaper than the cost of her last two birthday parties.
The photopass pics are beautiful! What a gorgeous family! What time of day did you have the pics taken? We did ours in the morning and the sun was so bright, we were squinting in most of the pictures! I think next time, I'd do the pics as the sun is settting!
Can't wait for more!
We really did enjoy our stay at SSR. The girls couldn't get enough of the pool and the big slide. Thanks on the photoshoot Sarah! You are welcome to come along anytime! It's been a very good proposition for us so far. We're actually considering a 50pt. add on at the moment. I know...crazy huh!hahaha, we must be easy to please too then. We are very happy to have SSR as our home.
And geez, you won MORE DVC prizes?! I need to come with you guys sometime! Jealous!
Love the photo shoot pictures too.
Thanks Sara! I am so pleased with the results. I didn't want to overwhelm everyone with all the pics but there are some even better ones that I didn't share. Lynne did a fabulous job. I couldn't be more ticked...especially for what I paid.Oh my goodness, those pics are fabulous!
Sara
