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

[MeMom]

Wow!! I just caught up with ten pages!!! Great photos, of, well, EVERYTHING!

So I guess I really missed that the princess dress changes, b/c I really didn't notice anything other than corsages on them that were "christmas" colors... it could have been my vantage point though! Great shots of the parade!!! Really nice close up of Donald and Daisy tooo cute!

And speaking of cute, what a silly girl with the french fries, that made me LAUGH. She looks so pleased with herself! And I am glad to hear that her surgery will be simple and easy to take care of.

Okay and then the WL photos... *sigh* such a beautiful resort! After the AKL this past week I was saying I think I like AKL better than WL, then I saw your photos and I am doubting myself all over again!!!!

What a fun set of photos at Pop! Too! The grounds are amazing.

Thanks for sharing and glad I am all caught up now.

Oh, and I love dumplings too....

We really want to try AKL, too. We were going to do that as our two day at the end treat this summer, but that is getting delayed. We will be visiting, though, eating at Boma, seeing the animals, and hopefully hearing the storyteller at the firepit. That's my consolation prize for not getting to stay there - lots of zebra domes for dinner.

Hmmm, I hope I can find a little tiny Tupperware to stash a couple away for a late night snack.

Oh my gosh, that is hysterical! She is seriously enjoying those fries!

Denise

She is not letting them get away from her, for sure. I can't wait to see both of those little girls again on Friday!

I just checked the weather again and the forecast for tonight has gone down to less than an inch of snow with rain tomorrow morning

It looks like it'll be a little cool tomorrow and Thursday but besides that it's pretty much mid to high 60's! That's perfect for us!

High 60's sounds wonderful. It's 20-something here right now and snow is falling.

Cute pic of the girlies in their church dresses.
Bella is really chowing down those french fries.

They got those dresses a long while back, but they're just now fitting into them. They do look cute, don't they?

Love the pictures of the WL at Christmas. We stayed there one year during the holidays, and it is even more beautiful in person!

Cute pictures of the girls all dressed their matching clothes for Valentine's Day. I can remember dressing my two alike when they were younger. Now that they're 16 and 13 they won't have any part in it....imagine that!

BTW, MeMom or Jill...did you get snow again? I'm having another SNOW DAY---two Mondays in a row!

It is fun to seem them dressed in matching or coordinating things while they will stand for it.

Yes on the snow day.
Since we had no kids today, we'll probably make this up in a couple of after-school sessions.

Here was my ride from Wilderness Lodge to my next stop.

And that stop would be here.

Lovely Hollywood Studios.

Christmas decorations.

Just killin' time, I did a bit of browsing.

Another thing I keep saying I am going to buy, but never have.

Street shows.

Time check.

Block Party Bash. You can see how crowded it was, so after I watched for a short while, I left.

Back at the room, I found some of the group resting.

 

[Charleston Princess]

DHS has such glamorous Christmas decorations!!! Looks like some of your group was having very sweet dreams!

Enjoy your snow day! We got nothing but rain -- enough to make it muddy so that our beastly dogs can track it into the house.

 

[praisehisname]

Beautiful pictures, even though it was insanely crowded there! No picture of Bo???

Yes, they are definitely the old-fashioned glitz and glamour kind of decorations. They work perfectly for that park!

We have a layer of ice and a frosting of snow.


*********************************

After hanging out with the family at the rooms, the guys decided to go to DTD, I believe. Jill and I took the girls and went back (for me, anyway) to Hollywood.

We took a little something of our own to get Bo in the holiday spirit.

I so wish we had taken a red and whited striped scarf, too!

I've seen these gals on several people's reports.

Our mission was to see the lights, so here they are.

Here are the girls checking them out.

I am so happy when I am with these three.

It looks crowded in those first pictures, but after a couple of songs, it thinned out a bit and we were able to walk just fine.

For all of our little boy friends.

Brooklynn wanted to have her picture taken.

We wanted to get a picture of them building a snowman.

Bella wasn't so happy about the idea.

I saved that for a few hours later.

 

[MeMom]

This is Jill's 'go to' place to eat in Hollywood Studios.

Tonight, though, she was just in the mood to go back to Pop and eat there. We took a few pictures.

Tried again for a snowman picture, with Bella at a different angle.

She was still not feeling festive.

Finally gave up.
Brooklynn is always willing to pose.

Christmas was over, but Santa was still hanging around.

Great Magic Kingdom shopping pictures , those mickey PJ's are just too cute !

Yummy ! Walt Disney World Popcorn , def the best tasting Popcorn I've ever had , would love to have some right now .

The Wilderness Lodge pictures are great , showed them to the kiddies & there so excited about staying there in September

Jill, adorable pictures of the girls on Valentines Day weekend , there outfits are always so cute

Love the pictures of DHS all decked out for Christmas . The picture of Bo with his hat is too funny & the picture of the girls with the snowman are adorable !

 

[sunny_stace]

I love the Osborne lights! They are so beautiful! Bo certainly looks handsome in his new hat! I can't wait to see the streetmosphere actors again! Well, I'm off to have a nice long Monday afternoon nap!

 

[tinkgurl]

Love the bus shot. I can't wait to finally be on one of those again!

I love the idea of just strolling around the parks like you do.

Wow, the Lights look amazing! I really hope to make it down there for them sometime!

 

[Charleston Princess]

There's no doubt about it -- Festive Bo is my FAVORITE holiday decoration at DHS.

I wonder how he would feel about sporting a feather boa for our birthday trip...

Even without being in a picture-posing mood, Bella makes me smile! Brooklyn reminds me so much of Chelsea at her age -- always willing to have her picture taken. Well, actually Chelsea is still like that.

 

[pooh'smate]

I am all caught up now. I love the pictures of Bella and the fries. Jill your girls are so cute. I wish my Lexi liked having her picture taken. She never does and it is very hard to get good pictures of her. Once in a while I she gets in a posing mood so then I snap away.

 

[praisehisname]

I saved that for a few hours later.

I should have known!

Poor Bella being forced to pose when she wasn't in the mood...doesn't she know who her MeMom is???

Denise

 

[DisKate]

So... Patrick isn't usually one for wanting his picture taken with any specific character...but he has requested these two for our March trip

Poor Bella, forced to pose when she doesn't want to!

ETA: I'm not sure why it isn't posting the pic? Its supposed to be Lightening McQueen and Mater?

A feather boa would be nice. How about holding a balloon or wearing some birthday ears?

Brooklynn loves to have her picture made. She gets a kick out of seeing them right away on the screen, too.

Jill reminded me that she had been asleep for about five minutes, so she wasn't happy about being awakened.

If you go back and add the end bracket to your first IMG, you should be okay. You just erased that off, it appears.

I hope Patrick gets his picture.

Thats the weird part! I went in to do that and the bracket is there I'm going to try to make sure he gets his pic!

Check where your BOLD overlaps, since it looks like it is bolded.

I am all caught up... love the pictures of Bella eating the french fries. She looks sooooo happy..

 

[MagicShell]

I have enjoyed looking at your pictures, the ones of Pop were making me feel warm while I was watching it flurry outside. I love the pictures of Bella enjoying her fries. She looks very proud of her discovery.

Another thing I keep saying I am going to buy, but never have.
