Sorry Gaston, They are MUCH More Interesting Than You!*6/8* NEW Trip Report Link p154

[addictedtothemouse]

I want to stay at WL when it is decorated for Christmas.
I can never see too many pics of Disney. What a great start to your trip. I can't wait to have a 'rita with my DSis in April. I'll also get to ride Dumbo for the first time with my DGD.

A little late b ut I am here!!

 

[englishrose47]

Well your chapter links made catch up easy!!! Now to stay caught up!!!!!

 

[jecskc]

Love all of your photos !! We just love the WL. It is so beautiful there and it is a completely different feel from some of the other resorts.

Looking forward to seeing what you and Cynthia have going on Epcot !!

 

[amandaw]

So many lovely pictures in your update!

Looks like it was a good start to the morning! It's so hard NOT to go overboard when taking pictures in Storybook Circus. They really did an amazing job with that area.

Happy New Year, ladies!! Here's to a new year full of fun Disney adventures.

Wilderness Lodge really is beautiful. So impressed that you go running on vacation. The scenery is of course gorgeous but it is still exercise on vacation!

LOVE the MK Halloween decorations.

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Really lovely WLV photos... still love that you take photos while running...

The lobby area of the villas really is very attractive... and the main lobby is pretty close if you need your fix...

(Sigh... I have several favorite resorts and whenever I see them... It always makes me wish that I could stay there too... ie when we were at Beach Club... and we went over to the WL for snacks/drinks... I got WL envy... I'm pretty sure when we stay at the Boardwalk and we go to Sanaa... I'll prob get AKL envy... It's pretty much a thing between the Boardwalk area resorts and the Lodges...)

The Storybook Circus redo was really well done... Dumbo is a short ride but there's no denying that it is photogenic...

Happy New Year, Cynthia and Mary Ellen! I will be back to catch up on your adventures, but wanted to make sure I subscribed first.

Jackie! Thanks for stopping by. Happy NY to you and the family! Hope its a great 2013 for you and the family!

you can never go over-board on Disney pics.

Luvin the updates.

I feel the same way about pictures. Often I have too few, but I never mind having too many.

I want to stay at WL when it is decorated for Christmas.

We had dinner there last December and it really looked beautiful. Plus they had a photopass photographer right in the lobby. I had a reservation there for December, but messed up my dates and when I went to change it - it was unavailable. Boo!

I can never see too many pics of Disney. What a great start to your trip. I can't wait to have a 'rita with my DSis in April. I'll also get to ride Dumbo for the first time with my DGD.

Thanks!

Those ritas in Mexico as so great! I am sure you will have a wonderful trip in April. The flower & garden festival is so awesome. for a first ride on Dumbo!

A little late b ut I am here!!

Rosie! Glad you made it and Happy NY's! I hope you have plenty of adventures planned for this year.

Well your chapter links made catch up easy!!! Now to stay caught up!!!!!

I am going to try to keep my chapter links as up to date as possible, so staying caught up should be easy. I hope.

Love all of your photos !! We just love the WL. It is so beautiful there and it is a completely different feel from some of the other resorts.

It really does have a different feel. I really enjoy it there. Right now Denny and I have a reservation there next October. I may change part of it, but certainly not all of it.

Looking forward to seeing what you and Cynthia have going on Epcot !!

We spent the entire rest of the day at Epcot. In fact, I think Cynthia closed the park (late EMH). I didn't quite make it that far.

So many lovely pictures in your update!

Thanks! I really took a lot of pictures during this trip. I took 600 pictures at the Halloween party. I didn't a double take when I saw that.

Looks like it was a good start to the morning! It's so hard NOT to go overboard when taking pictures in Storybook Circus. They really did an amazing job with that area.

I'm so glad we went to Storybook Circus as a start to our trip. We just knew that staying at the WL we couldn't pass up that opportunity. And it worked out great.

Happy New Year, ladies!! Here's to a new year full of fun Disney adventures.

Thanks C - Same to you! Are you going to Disney this spring? I so wish I could go in the spring instead of June. Sigh! Oh well, nothing to complain about.

p.s. video is coming together pretty well!

Wilderness Lodge really is beautiful. So impressed that you go running on vacation. The scenery is of course gorgeous but it is still exercise on vacation!

I like running on vacation better than running at home simply because the scenery is so much more fun. Plus, when I take pictures I get to stop and catch my breath!

LOVE the MK Halloween decorations.

Me too! Aren't they great! I am now editing my Halloween party pictures. Can't wait to see how the rest of them turned out.

Really lovely WLV photos... still love that you take photos while running...

I love taking pics during my run, if for no other reason than because i get to stop and catch my breath. I'll take any excuse to slow down.

The lobby area of the villas really is very attractive... and the main lobby is pretty close if you need your fix...

Exactly! The whole resort is so visually appealing. My only regret was I didn't go down into the parking lot to take pictures of the front of the lodge.

(Sigh... I have several favorite resorts and whenever I see them... It always makes me wish that I could stay there too... ie when we were at Beach Club... and we went over to the WL for snacks/drinks... I got WL envy... I'm pretty sure when we stay at the Boardwalk and we go to Sanaa... I'll prob get AKL envy... It's pretty much a thing between the Boardwalk area resorts and the Lodges...)

I do the same thing. In June I stayed at the Boardwalk and was wishing I was at Kidani when we went there for dinner. Wouldn't it be a dream vacation if you could just stop at all the resorts and stay at each one like 3 or 4 nights? That would be so awesome.

The Storybook Circus redo was really well done... Dumbo is a short ride but there's no denying that it is photogenic...

It really is a cool area. I'm glad we got to see it first thing in the morning!

Oh no, I somehow unsubscribed must catch up before its not possible. This happens too often when using the phone to check updates. It's easy to hit the wrong button and not notice... Sorry I'm behind.

No worries! I really don't like checking the DIS from my phone. I occasionally do it, but its just really hard to navigate and respond. Anyway - happy New Year's and welcome back!

 

[glennbo123]

Caught up. Wilderness Lodge sure looks beautiful. Thanks for the pics of Storybook Circus too.

 

[eandesmom]

I couldn't remember whether you went to the gym or not, but I know you talked about it. And I know you went at least one morning. But I don't blame you for lazing it up for awhile.

I forgot about the yogurts - yum!

I couldn't remember either! I had to go back and look through my pictures and try to figure it out. I did go twice actually, one morning and one afternoon and think I figured out when. I may have gone that morning but I think it was before our breakfast with Tracy and then I know I went in the afternoon before Citricos.

I had the same problem. It wouldn't let me convert back either and I really don't like the new format. I can't get my pictures back in order. So frustrating. I don't know why they had to change it. Makes no sense to me.

I haven't checked today but what really frustrated me was that it would let me click on the "switch back" option, but then not switch me back

 

[Poolrat]

That just about sums it up. And - BTW - if you ever DO find a recipe for the Turtle Crawl - please send it our way!

I will put it on my must do list for Jan..... since I am at OKW.

I once had 2 computers locked up with PB because it would not let me switch back..

I finally had to get in twice and it finally relented and let me switch back.
On the new PB the switch back is somewhat hidden and hard to find. I think it is in white on the upper right side?


Happy New Year Ladies!!!!

If you are in the "new" one, yes. What is interesting is I must have switched back 5 or so times yesterday with it never taking. I logged into tonight and got the "old" PB. So YAY! I was able to organize some of my pictures, not all but at least enough to get an update up maybe tomorrow over here.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Now, I am all caught up! Lovely start to your trip -- checking into VWL, Epcot for drinks and dinner, and then MK first thing in the morning! Just perfect!

 

[Later_Mater2009]

Thank you for the pics of Dumbo, my son and I cannot wait to try those out!! I am really enjoying your trip report, thanks again!! I just love the WL

 

[MEK]

Caught up. Wilderness Lodge sure looks beautiful. Thanks for the pics of Storybook Circus too.

The Wilderness Lodge is really beautiful. You guys should try it on one of your upcoming vacations!

Storybook circus was very cute. I imagine its a madhouse in the summer so it was certainly nice to have the whole place to ourselves.

I couldn't remember either! I had to go back and look through my pictures and try to figure it out. I did go twice actually, one morning and one afternoon and think I figured out when. I may have gone that morning but I think it was before our breakfast with Tracy and then I know I went in the afternoon before Citricos.

It probably was before breakfast with Tracy. I think I went running that morning too, but I also think I might have gone to the health club one morning. It all escapes me now.

I haven't checked today but what really frustrated me was that it would let me click on the "switch back" option, but then not switch me back

I read this last night and, after I did, I went back on checked to see if it would switch. It did! I would think there is a function for reording pictures, but I can't find it for the life of me. I have a feeling that Photobucket will probably try to switch me once a month and its going to be the same hassle.

 

[MEK]

I will put it on my must do list for Jan..... since I am at OKW.

See if you can rangle the correct recipe out of one of the CM's. If anyone can do it, you can?

I hope you love OKW. Have you stayed there before?

I once had 2 computers locked up with PB because it would not let me switch back..

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH! When Photobucket works, its great. But when it doesn't

I finally had to get in twice and it finally relented and let me switch back.
On the new PB the switch back is somewhat hidden and hard to find. I think it is in white on the upper right side?

I was able to switch back last night, but it wouldn't let me on NY's Eve. I hope I'm still switched back when I check today.

Happy New Year Ladies!!!!

Same to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And with a trip in January you are certainly starting the NY's off just right!

If you are in the "new" one, yes. What is interesting is I must have switched back 5 or so times yesterday with it never taking. I logged into tonight and got the "old" PB. So YAY! I was able to organize some of my pictures, not all but at least enough to get an update up maybe tomorrow over here.

Same!!!! I just hope its sticks!

Now, I am all caught up! Lovely start to your trip -- checking into VWL, Epcot for drinks and dinner, and then MK first thing in the morning! Just perfect!

Yeah! You must be off from school for a few more days! I hope you get to update your TR while you're off!

Thank you for the pics of Dumbo, my son and I cannot wait to try those out!! I am really enjoying your trip report, thanks again!! I just love the WL

Later_Mater! Thanks for joining in! Glad you liked the pics. Spoiler alert - The Great Gofini will be featured in my next update and I'm sure Cynthia has some of her own Dumbo pics to share.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Yeah! You must be off from school for a few more days! I hope you get to update your TR while you're off!

We don't go back until next Tuesday. Our school board picked the strangest dates for our vacation this year. I hope to cram several updates in -- I can't believe I am only halfway through our second day.

 

[dawnbu40]

I am all caught up!

First of all I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. What a terrible loss for her family and friends

I really enjoyed the pics of the WL. That remains on my list of resorts I want to try.

The Dumbo pics were great! They made that ride so much prettier when they re-imagined it!

Happy New Year
