Kate: A Lego Cake sounds SO cool! Did you create it? Or did it have a special pan? And congrats on your DS's Bday! 5! Whoo Hoo!


My kids don't have favorite characters but I do! I love Mary Poppins! She's the coolest.

Does anyone know if Pop has elevators? I'm assuming yes, but I was reading someone's TR a while back and they mentioned their hotel having NO elevator. Made me think that maybe SOME of them don't!!! Scary!!

Pop does have elevators. We were in the 80's building last year and it was in the middle, if that makes sense. Where the vending machines are...if that didn't confuse you

Pop has elevators, I think it may be some of the mods that don't.

Nope I made it. And trust me when I say it looks home made

 

[PrincessV]

Really V? I never would have taken you for a Snow White fan.

Well, she's a complete sap and a horrible example of a strong, independent woman, BUT she was the only "princess" in my youth who resembled me.

Well, my friends, my baby is five today. Yup, number three son is five. And I'm just not sure how I feel about it or where the past five years of my life went. But, I'm off to frost a green Lego brick birthday cake.

WOOO HOO!!!! Happy Bday to my little buddy and CONGRATS to you for making it to 5!

POR AB section is sans elevators.

 

[Muffinygood]

AH HA! Thanks, V! It was POR not POP! I knew I filed that away in the back for someday....

Thanks Lessa and Janet! I want to request a room on the top floor ( I am such a light sleeper, when people run around over me I'm awake all night!) but don't want to lug my self/luggage/etc. up the ding dang stairs every time I go out!
Probably should, good exercise!

Kate: Can you post pics? My oldest DS is a LEGO MANIAC. I have been saving lego pics of him for YEARS trying to find some scrapbooking stuff with legos. Finally, last weekend went to a HUGE store and found LEGO stickers!

Ok, gotta go finish cleaning the bathrooms. Blech. My least favorite part of the weekly cleaning!

According to my fuzzy math, which omits weekends, holidays, birthdays (Leo's, mine, Janet's and Evan's - anyone else?), and travel days it's only 65 days away. How's that for fuzzy counting?

I'm sure we could get it lower than that OK Ellie, Jess and David all have birthdays before we go oh and our anniversary, so that's 4 more days gone oh and over here we have another national holiday so down to 60 days

Since Jo is trveling overseas, shouldn't we omit 2 travel days for her becasue of the time change

Definitely

Mine is August 15

That's my first park day

On another note:
I'm just curious on who everyone's (and their kids') favorite characters are. I'm making a little something that I found for everyone in my goody bag project thingy. I know you guys said don't do anything, but seriously I wanna do something and it's not costing me $$.

That's very kind Z, Jess loves Stitch, Ellie Tinkerbell, David Tigger and me ummmmm Mickey I suppose

Happy Birthday #3

Did you get preferred or standard. We had standard last year....80's building, second floor,corner room overlooking Mr & Mrs Potato Head - VERY quiet area. Not a far walk to the the busses or food court either

[KatGarcia]

Ugh I feel so behind and have no idea what's been happening.

I did see that they've released Florida resident room rates for August.....

They're killing me! Ugh!

Anyhoo on a lighter note:


Yay Jo!!!!! Double digits!!!!
Wooohoooty!!!!

OMG it's only 3 months away!!!!!

Awww, happy birthday to him! And happy mommy day to you!

BUT she was the only "princess" in my youth who resembled me.

I know. I can't tell you how happy I was with Belle, but I was in college by then. She was brunette, brown-eyed, and read! Woohoo!

Z, that's totally unnecessary, but if you are doing it...

I like Piglet. Buzz & Woody like, well, Buzz & Woody, Power Rangers, Mickey, whatever, really. D isnt' so into Disney, but he loves WDW.

Well, Erich is waffling on whether or not he wants to eat at Biergarten or not. I'm trying to convince him but who knows. If Erich doesn't go to the meal then Alek probably won't either. I told him that V would become murderous if he messed with her seating chart.

 

[dreamn_Disney]

Just a quick drive by post to say hello to all.

HOw oculd they not want to meet 50 of your closest internet friends

We booked Standard. And your room sounds good! I was hoping for a corner. Did you get King or two dbls? I would like to request that general area if you can recall the #??

Oh that is not the problem, they just don't want to pay close to $30 to eat at restaurant where they wouldn't really eat anything.

Even if they don't go to the meal I'm sure you all will still get to see them around the parks. They are hard to miss.
