Ringing in 2010, 6 months til we'll be back again

[MeMom]

We would like to check out the cabins sometime.

Back to the dock to wait on the boat.

This guy really does have a good time on our trips.

Back by Magic Kingdom. It looks like the train is decorated, but it is the railing.

Where to next?

 

[MeMom]

If you have any Dr. Seuss videos, they would be good this week!

Perfect. I'll go down to the library and get some. I read 'And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street' today.

The one at Lynnhaven? Oh how I wish I could go with you!! Take lots of pictures so I can see what has changed since I was there a couple of weeks ago.

I'm glad Jill reminded me of our Disney Store visit next week. We'll get pictures, too.

Wow! Those decorations are great! Is it bad that I've stayed at WL for 4 years and I've never made it over to see FW?

Oh, guess what! I finally started my TR last night

 

[disney<333]

I saw a TV special during Christmas time where they showed people sprucing up their homes at FW for Christmas. I just think it is so cool that guests do that and that people stay their for so long. I never made it their in November- just AKL. Maybe I can go explore there during the day this year before MVMCP.
I hate testing. I taught elementary for a few years but then moved on to Art. Then last year I was laid off but I just got a part-time job today that I'm thrilled about. My kids have the FCAT next week.

This week we have to do ThinkLink testing and DIBELS. Why do they make these things fall on the same week? Being a 'teacher' is frustrating sometimes, because we don't get to teach so often. We're 'testers' a greater and greater percentage of the time. I miss the fun units we used to do.

I feel the same way MeMom. It makes me so sad.

30 minutes extra a day...well, most Magic School Bus episodes are 28 minutes...seems perfect! A district near me is doing this also because they had no banked days. They are calling for snow here again tomorrow night. I'm hoping they are wrong because it will be Saturday school for me if we miss.

I loved the Fort Wilderness pictures! I want to do the sleigh ride next year so I'll get to see all the fun decorations. Some of those folks really go all out!

Can you imagine staying in WDW 7 months out of the year??? Do you think you'd get bored? I tell you what, I'd love the opportunity to find out. The decorations in all those camp sites are something else!

 

[micandminforever]

After seeing your FW pictures I need to add FW to my list of resorts to visit at Christmas.

 

[moparop]

They really do go all out at Ft. Wilderness don't they? The decorations are just unbelievable!!!

 

[xoktenox]

Wow, seeing all your FW pictures makes me really regret not heading over there to check out all those decorations when we were there in December! Those people do an amazing job!

Can you imagine living IN Disney World 7 months out of the year?! Pure bliss Maybe one day?

 

[tinkgurl]

Wow, they sure go all out with their decorations! I can't believe that windshield full of all the stuffed Mickeys, Pooh Bears, and more!

 

[lmillercrew]

Ft Wilderness looks amazingly fun! Maybe I will live down there 7 mos out of the year?? Then I would be around Disney ALL the time!

 

[slightly_obsessed]

You have been in our thoughts and will continue to be as you go through the adjustments ahead. You are always welcome to bring your burdens, cares, and joys here for us to share.

aww... thanks.

I didn't realize Fort Wilderness had an inflatable forest! Good golly.

I get the impression they don't leave often.... I think I could do 7 months out of the year at Disney.

Stasieki - I'd like Monday's too!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Ft. Wilderness is on our must do list next Christmas for sure! It looks like so much fun!

Oh by the way....
We went to the library tonight.
Checked out Horton Hears a Who. DVD
It also has bonus stories Horton Hatches the Egg
and Daisy-Head Mayzie

I think the Kids are going to love watching those stories!
Good luck finding something!

Wow FW is really something isn't it? We went over there on our trip but didn't see any of that. I guess they didn't have it out yet since it was before Thanksgiving.

We used to camp all the time and loved it. We had a small camper and were members at a lake campground/resort about an hour from home. It was very fun and we have some great memories form that time. It was just one of those things that had to go when I quit work. Your pictures made me think of all those great times we had. Camping is such a great family bonding activity. Staying in a hotel just doesn't compare to the experience you get camping. But we learned the hard way that unless you tent camp, you WILL NOT save any money by camping instead of renting a room.

I really like the idea of the cabins too, but I priced them one time and they were really high. Maybe it wouldn't be bad for a large group like yours that could split the cost, but just for my family of 3, it's out of the question. We could get a room at Wilderness Lodge for the same price.

And the lady who stays 7 months out of the year.....

 

[Megablocks]

Magic School Bus?? I used to LOVE those books!

The FW pictures are awesome; I love the decorations. I am so jealous of the woman you guys met that stays seven months out of the year. I went camping with Charles and his parents, younger sister, brother, and sister-in-law over the summer because they have a pop-up camper from when his parents and sister went cross-country a couple of summers ago. There were people in those giant motor homes who basically lived at the campsite over the summer. I thought that was really cool, but if I had the option and the money, I would totally choose to stay at FW.

The one at Lynnhaven? Oh how I wish I could go with you!! Take lots of pictures so I can see what has changed since I was there a couple of weeks ago.

Yes, the one at Lynnhaven. However, the weather is supposed to be crummy, so I'll probably skip it this week. I'd rather not drive over the bridge tunnel if it's raining/snowing. Maybe next Wednesday....You should play hooky and meet me there.

Brooklynn wanted to spend a minute in the sand first.

Brooklyn just looks so big in these pictures! Maybe it's because I spent all weekend looking at pictures of her when she was not quite two!

 

[punkin413]

i have no clue where i left off so i'm just gonna start backwards. just wanted to warn you if my comments are out of order.....nope, i haven't officially lost my mind!

 

[punkin413]

Folks at 'The Fort' have fun with Christmas decorations.

i haven't seen it with my own eyes, but i hear the decorations there are just really cool and the people there are really into the decorating!

Jarvis was straightening up a fallen over Pooh decoration when the owner came over and started talking to us. She said they stay there seven months out of the year!

okay, i LOVE disney world. but even as much as i love it, i don't think i could stay there 7 months out of the year. i'd want my bed, my couch, my bath tub, the comfort of my home. more power to them but i don't think i could do that!

great pics of the decorations at the fort! i'd love to visit it when we go for christmas next trip.

MeMom, I just got my dd the Disneyland sing a long dvd and she loves it. She trys to watch it about 3 or 4 times a day and then she puts on dances to the songs. There is 1 song on there titled Making Memories and every time I see or hear it I think of you. Sorry it isn't the best quality but it is the only video I found of the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbh-f9_W4SI
