Posting live 12 nights CL at the Poly!

LOVING your report, Dani!! :goodvibes You sound like your having an amazing time :thumbsup2 Good for you, keeping your cool in the most unnerving circumstances :)
YEAH! for getting your favourite cabana! I hope I'm as lucky on Sept 30 :)
I'm amazed at what troopers you all are! So many late nights, and you are all still energetic for the next day! I hope my legs hold up to all that walking, I really need to get on my walking program.....I've only got 6 weeks to go!!!!!! :scared1:
 
Thanks for the updates! I hope to pay it forward while I am there!

Your reports are getting me really excited! I am glad you are having a magical time!
 
You are so sweet for letting us share in this trip...and I feel for your mom about the little mermaid. :hug: Love the picture of Danimal in the 'zurg cage'! That is one of our traditions too! Hope you get some good sleep tonight. pixiedust:
 
Ooooh, two updates since I last checked ... and more wonderful pics, including a very tasty looking, mysterious adult beverage! What yumminess was in that cup?! :woohoo: :worship::worship:

By the way, I'm so with you on the cell phone at the table thing. Drives me craaaaazy too.

I'm adding the Pooh ride to our list now too! (I know, I am clueless how we missed so much at DHS last year. :confused: Even better to live vicariously through you and your TR, I get to find new places for us to try! :goodvibes )
 

I'm happy to have everyone reading along! I'll update tomorrow with photos. It's been a long night. DS got an upset tummy again tonight and we have to be up early for his Pirates League appointment!
 
It is so crowded. I can't even believe it.
You have me worried since we'll be there next weekend. I wonder why it's so crowded? Usually August isn't bad. We just went over spring break and thought it would be horrendous, but the crowds weren't as bad as we thought they'd be. Is everything crowded or just in the afternoon or for certain rides? Are the buses and monorail packed, too?
 
Pictures from breakfast? :confused3 Like you have nothing better to do on your vacation than keep me entertained!!! :rotfl2:

Thanks for joining in! I love my iPad for travel. I got it last year and bring it down the shore and to Florida and it works out great. I also enjoy reading on it and the kids like watching movies on it.


I wound up buying a Tablet...should arrive next week. That will give me time to practice with it before the trip......I got a chuckle when you said "bring it down to the shore"...you must be from up north..(I am originally from NJ and we said the shore also....where I live now, they say the beach...ugg)

Glad your trip is full of fun.....I'm enjoying reading your posts....4 more weeks and we'll be there.....:goodvibes
 
So cute that you and Lily napped until 1! It sounds like you both really needed it and it helped you get the most out of your cabana. We are going to try that someday (the napping and the cabana).

Good thing you mentioned it...I wasn't sure where we'd be camping out on Sunday!!! :rotfl: (Does the Polynesian have good showers like GF? If not, we can stop by GF or CR first...we wouldn't want to show up smelly.:lmao:)

Who's ready for an update?! :cheer2:

Last you heard from us we were heading to DTD. Well, here's how that went. We got there around 7:30. Daniel played in the water squirted thing.

Then we went to the Christmas store and Lily wanted every single ornament and stuffed toy. Then we headed to Once Upon A Toy.

By this time the thunder and lightning were directly over us. I kept saying we should start heading back but no one wanted to listen, so we kept walking and went to the Lego store. We didn't do World of Disney because we have a coupon that has to be used before 12 so we didn't want to waste time in there when we were going to be going back anyway. After Lego we decided to head back to Wolfgang Puck Express, but the line was out the door so they went into Earl of Sandwich and the kids and I waited outside. I took Daniel to Goofy's and then we decided to head to the bus stop in case the rain started so we would be near shelter. We were there for like 5 minutes before they joined us.

When we got back we saw it had already rained at the Poly so we got pretty lucky.

Yesterday we had our breakfast at Crystal Palace. Trying to get my crew up and out the door is like trying to make water into wine. Seriously, it would be a miracle if they were on time. I told them breakfast was an hour earlier yesterday so they would get moving and we still barely got there on time!

Okay, so our breakfast was at 10:15. We got to MK at around 9:30 and it was HOT and CROWDED.

We headed up Main Street to CP to check-in and wait for our table.

When we got inside, this stunning woman comes running at me and I realize it's my sis! That's right folks, I ran into pas130 right there at CP. Her and her husband were enjoying a delicious breakfast themselves. On their way out we chatted a few seconds and made plans for later in the afternoon.

We finished up breakfast and then headed out to start our day!
 
Another fabulous episode! I absolutely love how Danimal and Lily look so happy! Great photo of you and Jeanette - beautiful! :lovestruc Looking forward to hearing all about the later get together. :goodvibes

Enjoy another day in our happy place!:beach:
 
We are headed to lunch at Le Cellier via DHS. It's too hot out to walk from the monorail so we cheated. :rotfl: Everyone is starving! I can't wait to eat my cheddar cheese soup and pretzel bread! I will continue updating tonight. :goodvibes
