Tasty Planning Time with ZeBrook! A 2 for 1 PTR - 12/24 - All our bags are packed

[wdwgirl03]

That would be so cool if they sold resort music. I've actually gotten a couple of CDs from Target that remind me of the music they play at the Polynesian and the Animal Kingdom Lodge...

Hooray for only 50 days!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Glad you and Joe are excited about the iTunes music -- I love it!

You are so going to enjoy CSR, Brook!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Impetigo stinks! Been there, done that. Gag. Love the CSR pictures! What a gorgeous place to chill after being in the parks. Good choice.

 

[princess&her4princes]

Hi Brook!

Sorry to hear about Henry's rash!! Poor little guy (and Mommy, too!!) , hope it clears up sooner than later...one thing I haven't come across here...yet!!

The pics of CSR are just beautiful! I can see why you are excited to go there and I'm wtih you on your Disney math, one less day to count (lol!) is a good thing!!! 50 days...wow, it's really sneaking up on you now!!! I'm just 10 behind you....so sorry we won't be there at the same time! I would have loved to have met you & your family in person!!! OH well, maybe next time!!!

 

[BellaSoleil]

What a cool playground! Belle climbed up the playground and came down the slide for the first time on Saturday. She felt like such a big girl! It was precious!

You are making me excited and I'm not even staying there! Can't wait to read your trip report!

2) I tuned into DISradio earlier tonight and Joe asked what I was playing. He started listening and said "We should really buy the park music on CD. And I want the music from the Wilderness Lodge too."

OK, can you bottle this attitude and send it to me?? My DH needs a heavy dose!


on hitting 50 days! Your trip will be here before you know it. I think your really going to like CSR, we stayed there on our first trip with the kids, and enjoyed it very much.

 

[PopArtGal]

Which Disradio?

Drive by posting....

1) Henry has an icky skin rash on his arm and neck. Impetigo. It's VERY common in toddlers, but I feel so bad for my baby. I'll spare you the details of what it looks like, but, it's just "ew".

He doesn't even notice the rash, thankfully!!

Our doctor appointment is this Thursday, so I'm sure he'll be getting something. I hope it's a cream, I don't want to have to give him medicine...

Hey, Brook!

You may remember that I'm a derm nurse... okay, maybe you don't... but I'm putting my 2 cents in anyway!

The fact that it's not itchy leads me to agree that it is bacterial and not an allergic reaction. Don't wait until Thursday, it may get worse or spread. Get some over the counter bacitracin ointment and put it on twice a day until you get him to the doctor!!

Hope he's better soon!

....we are now landing just after 11:00 pm, which hopefully will mean we arrive at the resort before midnight.

In my world, that shaves a day off the counter!

Absolutely Positively!!

Except for the ordering at Pepper Market being a bit confusing, I've only heard great things about CSR!! My DSis stayed there and loved it!!

Ugggh! Impetigo is icky! DS Johnny had it the end of the summer 2 summers ago. He got it because his bathing suit had irritated his sensitive little skin o nthe top of his thigh so much! I'm glad Henry's not noticing it!

Ok, I'll admit to being a big geek and having the list of WL songs that CP posted the link too on my ipod! I'm also a HUGE fan of live365.com all the fun Disney World stuff they have on there!

All those pictures of CSR are so pretty! You must be soooo excited to be getting so close!! 50 days will fly by!

 

[Donald is #1]

Awww, poor Henry!

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Did I tell you I saw Benjamin Linus once while living in NYC? I couldn't bring myself to talk to him. He looked equally as creepy in real life, but he smiled. So that helped.

Yes! That was totally awesome!

I wouldn't doubt that you could request Cap'n Frank. You might have to wait for his boat, but it would be worth it! He was a great guide-so knowledgeable! When you do your Twin Cities invasion of 2010, you'll have to let me know and maybe our paths can cross with the Biscuit clan.

I'll def give you guys a shout out!

Today marks 50 days until we arrive at CSR!!

If time were coins, you'd be like a can of pop away from your trip! HOW COOL IS THAT? (Yes I've learned to say pop when discussing soda with Minnesotans. I've also learned to say cart when discusssing a buggy and to say binder when discusing rubber bands. I even occasionally break out on Ooftah for good measure!)

Our flight was originally coming in around 11:30 pm, which would put us arriving at WDW on September 3 (after midnight), but, it got bumped earlier and we are now landing just after 11:00 pm, which hopefully will mean we arrive at the resort before midnight.

Hopefully! And with time change, maybe it won't seem so late.

In my world, that shaves a day off the counter!

Totally (he says in his best Crush accent)

And, I don't know if I have clearly expressed my excitement about staying at CSR, but I am VERY excited about it! The more I read about it, the more I look at pictures - the more excited I get.

I found that to be on of the coolest parts. Looking at photos, imagining what it would be like, then seeing your resort and still being blown away.

And the pool!

Preach it sister! That pool looks awesome!

Cant' wait to hear how the trip goes.

 

[onelilspark]

The Cabanas section, where we hope to end up:

Speaking of Disney twin... That's definitely the section I requested.

Really I just want a refurbed room, they look gorgeous!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Have you guys seen this post/video yet?

It's GREAT!!!!

[IluvXU]

The pics you posted don't do it justice. It is super pretty. We liked the Cabanas too, our room was a great location, we could almost make the bus stop without leaving cover and were steps from the big pool.

Just an FYI- the bikes and marina were closed... so I bet they are closed for your trip too, sorry!

Now that was fun! Fun family and cute video... I still have not looked at the video DH took...

 

[brookelizabeth]

Ahhhh...you know I have been thinking of doing a resort post on my PTR because I find myself online looking at pictures constantly. Tripadvisor sometimes has great pics too, just FYI. I don't think you listed them as a source.

I can't wait to see all of your CSR light fixtures.

Poor Henry, rashes are the worst! I hope it goes away quickly.

Oooh, I haven't looked at Tripadvisor. Good advice!
You should do a post on your resort, I want to share in the excitement! OKW is sooooo pretty, I bet you are gonna love it!

I have one on my hair coming up, so it's like we can swap post topics.

Looks like a nice resort. It's always been on my list

It's been on ours since the beginning too. It will be fun to finally experience it!

Great collection of pictures Brook (I always want to spell your name with an E because of your screen name). For years I never wanted to stay at CSR but now I want to. I think it's because we stayed at CBR and the layout is similar. And that playground looks great! Liam would approve

No problem on the name-a LOT of people spell it wrong. People I know in real life, who I've known for years. If you, or someone else from here spells it wrong-it doesn't phase me! Funny quick story about how it ended up with no "e". My sister is named Jennifer. Two e's in her name. She had SO many problems writing the e's, my Mom didn't want to go through the hassle with me and the e, so she dropped it from my name! Of course, my middle name is Elizabeth, and my maiden last name had two e's too!

Did you like CBR? It looks really pretty! I think we'll want to stay there sometime too, I've just never been to the resort in person -only via the DIS.

CSR is soooooooooooo pretty! We've never stayed but we visited to check out the resort on our last trip and it's seriously gorgeous. I have the best picture of my dad lounging on a hammock on the beach between two palm trees. It's one of my favorite pictures from the trip... You're gonna love it!

I hope you are right! I think we will though-it looks so peaceful.

I've forgotten to say this, but I LOVE that you have Boy Meets World in your siggy pictures. That show is the best!

That would be so cool if they sold resort music. I've actually gotten a couple of CDs from Target that remind me of the music they play at the Polynesian and the Animal Kingdom Lodge...

Hooray for only 50 days!!

I'm really surprised they don't sell the resort music! I bet it would go quick off the shelves. I love that people have taken the time to figure out the songs and compile the lists in iTunes!

Glad you and Joe are excited about the iTunes music -- I love it!

You are so going to enjoy CSR, Brook!

I think I'll listen to it most while cleaning. Pretending I'm in my happy place versus scrubbing a toilet.

I don't know if I ever commented back to you on your stay at CSR, but I LOVED all your pictures! They were so beautiful.

 

[brookelizabeth]

Impetigo stinks! Been there, done that. Gag. Love the CSR pictures! What a gorgeous place to chill after being in the parks. Good choice.

It's so icky! He just has the blister kind, but it looks just awful.

I think CSR will be a nice haven from the parks as well. Joe really digs the beach/tropical look, so I think he especially will love it!

Hi Brook!

I hope you never have to deal with impetigo! It's not terrible, but looks so ishy.

I'm bummed we are going to just miss each other too!! I wish our trip was a bit longer, but I have no extra PTO. Sigh. I hope our paths cross again down the road!

What a cool playground! Belle climbed up the playground and came down the slide for the first time on Saturday. She felt like such a big girl! It was precious!

You are making me excited and I'm not even staying there! Can't wait to read your trip report!

Awwwww! Go Belle go! It's so fun, and heartbreaking at the same time, to watch them do something new, isn't it? Henry today took 4 steps down ALL BY HIMSELF. We were on our way outside and I turned around and he was already down 1 step. I gasped in fear, but then quickly recovered and applauded him. He's getting so big!!!!

Have you decided which side of PO you are going to do yet? It would be a very hard decision for me! Both are so beautiful.

OK, can you bottle this attitude and send it to me?? My DH needs a heavy dose!


on hitting 50 days! Your trip will be here before you know it. I think your really going to like CSR, we stayed there on our first trip with the kids, and enjoyed it very much.

I am truly blessed to have a many that shares in the "addiction" as much as I do! He also talks very often about adding DVC points so we can go more than once a year. He's hooked!

I'm so happy to read another positive review of CSR!

Which Disradio?

It's wonderful to have on in the background while DISing!

I forgot you were a nurse!!!!! Oh goodness. My Mom is a nurse too, and I totally haven't called her on this-I'm not a very good daughter. I am going to PM you!

THANK YOU FOR THIS INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely Positively!!

Except for the ordering at Pepper Market being a bit confusing, I've only heard great things about CSR!! My DSis stayed there and loved it!!


Kathy

Gotta love that Disney Math, right?

The Pepper Market does intimidate me a bit-it even sounds confusing! But, I'm sure we'll get the hang of it after a time or two through.

Ugggh! Impetigo is icky! DS Johnny had it the end of the summer 2 summers ago. He got it because his bathing suit had irritated his sensitive little skin o nthe top of his thigh so much! I'm glad Henry's not noticing it!

I think Henry's started because of a mosquito bite while we were camping. That is what it looked like originally. Apparently, it happens most often from clothing and insect bites. Kinda strange!

I love that you have the music on your iPod! As soon as we get paid this week, we will too!!!!!

I sure do hope these 50 days fly by! Every time I think about it all, I get so excited!

I love your "you'd be a can of pop!" Nice!!!!!!

I'm not really from Minnesota....so, I say SODA. Joe cheers when I let a "pop" slip out. And by buggy versus cart do you mean, like the thing you put your groceries in at the store? To me, that's a grocery cart. I've heard people call their strollers buggies, but not here in MN - I think that's a southern thing. I think. I also call them rubber bands! Ugh, binder. Binder is either a 3 ring BINDER, or a hair binder for pony tails. Minnesotans talk WEIRD. One of my favorites was "Girls carry a billfold, men carry a wallet." My response, "No, I carry a wallet."

When you guys are here, I would seriously love to meet up with ya. We can hit the Mall of America or a great park together!

Speaking of Disney twin... That's definitely the section I requested.

Really I just want a refurbed room, they look gorgeous!

Exactly! Me too!!!!!! Okay, now which building in the Cabanas are you hoping for???

The pics you posted don't do it justice. It is super pretty. We liked the Cabanas too, our room was a great location, we could almost make the bus stop without leaving cover and were steps from the big pool.

Just an FYI- the bikes and marina were closed... so I bet they are closed for your trip too, sorry!

Which building were you in?
I'm so happy to read it's even prettier in person! We have only seen it from the ME bus window (twice now), and each time we sorta gasped at the bit we could see and how beautiful it seemed. I love the Casitas area with all the fountains too.

That's a bummer about the bikes! Maybe we can hit them up over at the Poly or the BW. Who knows though...I always make these grand plans and we never have time for it all.

Now that was fun! Fun family and cute video... I still have not looked at the video DH took...

I am just starting to look at our video from 2008 and 2009. I've been uploading to YouTube for the past few days. But otherwise, it just sits there. We have been talking for this trip to do something a bit different and more entertaining-probably nothing to this extent though!
