Shh, do you hear that? It's the winds of change~link to new thread post#3501

Hi everyone!!! We are here in our Buffalo Holiday Inn room...right next to the airport! The girls were so happy ... I can't even really put it into words how it felt witnessing their pure innocent happiness. Our oldest kept saying "you are kidding right??? Is it really true?? " when they saw their shirts.

When DH and I took off our sweaters to show them we had ours too, they knew it was real. They screamed, cried and pretty well wore themselves out by the time we got to the border.

And now...we wait for tomorrow! Thanks for waiting patiently everyone!

Jen

Best. Update. Ever! Awwwww, that is so COOL! Like was already said, safe travels tomorrow... you guys are almost there!

Meanwhile, we need some cupcakes... Can we virtually make some Starring Rolls cupcakes appear? (please, someone keep me away from that thread! )

 

[babyberger]

Jen - so glad the girls were ecstatic!!!! Just think you are one step closer by crossing the border. Safe travels tomorrow!!!!

So I was thinking today that I need to start packing for our long weekend. And it dawned on me that I need to pack differently than I usually pack for Disney. It is usually just clothes for the next day and toiletries. This time I need to pack bathing suits, flip flops, etc! Have I mentioned I am excited for Stormalong Bay and my new way of "doing" Disney

Oh and I am so in for the cupcakes!!!

Up bright and early and are waiting at our gate...hopefully we will start boarding in about an hour! The DD's are keeping busy with coloring, and shows and videos that DH put on our IPad ( which is great but they want to use it more than me !)

Had a few issues with tired / cranky / possessed children last night... But today is a new day and it was very overwhelming for them all yesterday. It was a lot to process all at once for the little mites!

I can't believe that tonight we will be eating at 'Ohana! And no we didn't get to the Anchor for wings Janet, although it was on our short list of the five places we wanted to have dinner! We tried the cheesecake factory! It was very yummy! DH and I had a "lunch" portion as it was an early dinner and wow! We couldn't finish it all, but it was so good!

Oh yes, and note to self...never book a hotel room with only 2 double beds for 5 people! bad call on my part, we played musical beds all night long! When the alarm went off at five I told DH when we get to the Poly we will switch to ASM suites so everyone can have their own beds! NOT!!

Hope everyone has a good day!

Cupcakes for all!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm always down for cupcakes!!!

I'm sure Jen and the family are excitedly getting themselves ready for their trip!!! Unlike my girls, whom DH and I just made sit down and watch the 9/11 footage. I think they think it was a movie, even though we kept telling them it was real.

DS11 talked a lot about it at school...he was a baby...I was getting him ready for daycare when I got the call from work to get there ASAP to prepare for the victims...what a horrible day.... There were babies in DS11's daycare who lost both parents that day

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can we virtually make some Starring Rolls cupcakes appear? (please, someone keep me away from that thread!

No calories in looking at least....

Oh, Jen! You almost made me lose my breath in that moving from the Poly statement! Yikes! Glad the beds are bigger at the poly!

I am scouring the Internet still in search of a great chicken and Dumplings recipe....I still haven't found one I love yet, but it's what's on my plate today....literally and figuratively

 

[Minnie&Nana]

So exciting, Jen! Remember that Poly rooms have a daybed so sleeping arrangements will be better!

Sorry if someone said that already - posting from my iPhone using the DIS iPhone app and do not like it at all. Prefer going to the we page from the phone!

Have a great flight! Can hardly wait to hear from you from the Polynesian!! Hugs!

Good morning to those early risers! Or are they night owls? Cynthia, Janet, Candace, Melissa, Baskeylacey, Dani, Marie, Amanda, Christine, Sheila, Jeanette ... I know I've missed someone. Cupcakes and coffee? No calories in the virtual cupcakes according to our fearless leader, so tuck in.

Speaking of...

And guys ... how bout the KING cupcake??

I'm seriously considering making a ticker JUST for my first King Cupcake Taste Extravaganza. It certainly sounds worthy of its very own ticker. How is it?! Other than sounding absolutely amazing. I would wish away the time until January when I can walk across that bridge and get one... but that'd be kinda silly.

Jen: The Jinxes should be on a jet plane... headed to hear that wonderful, "Aloha!" and take in a deep breath of that glorious Poly lobby scent.

Just a suggestion if you have not yet searched Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch recipes Marie check them out. My Aunt use to make what she called " pot Pie" but it was a type of chicken & Dumplings and was delish!

Disney seemed to add rooms to the inventory yesterday for the Room Only Discounts. No luck with my Deluxe Room at BWI but lots during my dates @ Poly if only Bob did not dislike the Poly I would have been changing my ressie to there yesterday as a Std room appeared and it was $144 less than the WV room @ BWI

WELCOME TO FLORIDA Sorry the sleeping arrangements were not ideal last night, I know it is tough when we travel with all 5 of us. Tonight will be better with the day bed and you will be in Disney

I keep checking for more rooms and/or discounts for October and got exited when I saw your post, but nope nothing new at BC or YC. I think the Epcot resorts are just booked solid with F&W

Hope everyone else is having a great day!!

And just to get you dreaming and drooling, here's the King of cupcakes ... no calories at all when washing it down wiith a diet coke

why wait??? you can POP over next week for one!! ... rich, chocolately, peanut butter bliss with a little creamy banana filling [and candied bacon ... weird but it fits...] .... it's a whole lotta hunka chunka love in every bite!!

P.S. snack credit on the DP.
