That's so cool about Mr. Toad! I have fond memories of that ride! When I was little, my parents took my cousin and I on our first trip to WDW. We went on that ride, with my cousin sitting in the driving seat, and at the end of the ride my dad pretended to rip up his "license" which I thought was the funniest thing!! I wanted to be in the drivers seat!! So they told me "we'll come back later" guess what? we never did!
awful, awful parents.
Aww, bummer you never got to go back!
I'm so glad Lee is safe!
I didn't know about the Visa character meet and greet- that's a great thing to know for next time, haha. Always gotta take advantage of the free things Disney offers
ME TOO, I about had a heart attack when Ryan started talking to Mike.
That is so true! And they take pretty good pictures too.
Aw...I miss those topiaries!
Me too. Can't believe the F&GF is over this weekend!
I love seeing the topiaries. Do the characters used change every year?
Oooo the Poly.

My favorite deluxe dream resort.
I still haven't tried Club Cool! I might try and get Alex to try the Beverly. Mwahaha!
It seems like they reuse quite a few of the topiaries. I know there was a Cinderella one that I saw a couple years ago...but at the MK.
The Poly is AMAZING. I miss it there so much so if my sister did get into the CP and we did that I would cry because I'd be so happy. LOL.
Ohhh, if you did you'd have to take some pictures of that.
I saw that you updated last night, but I decided to save it to read while I eat my breakfast this morning. I was all excited about it when I was brushing my teeth!
I saw the announcement for the new resort and got super excited! Weird's going to be thrilled and want to stay there because of Cars!
You guys were having such excellent luck/planning with the lower crowds! Ahh the benefits of staying on property and getting such an early start!
Hmm, what's Mickey doing with his hands in the Visa photo?
Glad I could provide some morning entertainment Rachel!
Yup, staying on property is the best.
Great update! I just love Epcot. It is such a diverse park with so many nooks and crannies that have things to do. I love the character pictures. We did that one trip and it's fun to get that alone time with characters. Also love Club Cool especially on a hot day. We've all tried the Beverly and it as bad as they say it is. I hope you make it to Welcome Home Wednesdays because I want to hear about it. And can't wait to hear about the Full House flashback. My DD10 watches that show every morning.
I know my sisters tried the Beverly once even though I warned them it was gross. I shouldn't have told them...
HAHA, I still watch Full House when it is on too and I'm 25. I own all 8 seasons on DVD too...
Beautiful pictures of the topiaries

.. and great character picture!!!
We always do Club Cool on every trip....and the boys always have to try the Beverly every time. You'd think they would remember how horrible it tastes.
Oh and YAY Lee!!

He's my favorite too!

I'm so happy...he wasn't even in the bottom two last night!
Thanks Angie.
ha, that's funny your boys still drink the Beverly. I don't know if I ever want to.
Last year you know we had Danny to cheer for since he was our hometown guy. This year our "hometown" guy is Lee since he's from Chicago. He's by far my favorite.
Thanks for the pictures of Flower & Garden Festival--I miss going during that time--I love that theme, too!
I can't wait for Full House flashbacks!
You're welcome. Glad you liked the pictures. The F&GF is a great time to visit.
I have school tomorrow and have to work tomorrow night so watch for an update this weekend. Can't wait for the school year to be OVER! Only 18 days left.
I was two updates behind! How'd that happen?
Well, I am caught up now.
YAY for a DIS meet!
Sounds like fun.
The topiaries are so cute at EPCOT. I know we were just there a week apart, but the flowers look even brighter.
Ooohhh- a Full House flashback? Tell me, tell me----Did you see John Stamos?
I feel like I am so far behind on everyone's TRs too. So don't worry about being behind.
I have to say I think my camera has some sort of color chip that makes pictures look brighter. My sister and I will take pictures of the same thing and mine somehow look a little more colorful.
LOL, no, didn't see John Stamos but there is a particular scene of Full House that I kept thinking of at our next stop...
