Sounds like a wonderful morning! Beautiful family picture

What a great way to start your morning at Disney! Great food, great people, great characters and great pictures!

Very cute kids, and great character interaction. Looked like a great breakfast.

Wow, no mistaking Denny's brother!

Well, I'm sure you know how much I love getting into the MK early for those empty Main Street photos! Definitely got some great shots there, especially the ones of the train station out front before you got into the park.

Breakfast looks like lots of fun! The kids are so adorable, and look like they are having a blast with Pooh & the gang. At first I thought you meant your nephew was Denny's brother, but I quickly picked out your actual BIL once I got to the group photo. Kinda hard to miss that family resemblance! The group photo is really a nice picture of all of you.

Definitely a great first day! Beautiful nighttime boardwalk shots, love the atmosphere there.
Glad your family got there on time!
Awwww the Crystal Palace pics with Pooh and friends are so adorable! And your plate looks yummy too. I love CP breakfast, but definitely the best part is getting I to the park before almost anyone else!
How kind of your in laws to treat you to breakfast.
Great group shot!!

I just can't even imagine how wonderful walking back to the BWV at night must have been. Your pictures are amazing.

What a nice morning you had with your family. It is so nice to be in MK before the crowds. Kids were so cute!!!

I've really become quite the Boardwalk addict now. Amazing that I only saw it for the first time just a year and a half ago. Now I can't seem to stay away despite not ever staying there.

See I feel the same way. At times the bus to MK really does save time, but there is NOTHING like the journey over to MK whether it be the Monorail or the Ferry. I just love the anticipation it builds.

Wow, the little girl in the Pooh and Piglet photos really has it together for posing doesn't she??

Oh My, Thank Goodness you got a photo on your own camera as well. I swear I will never depend on the PP photos without having a backup.

Great update! Loved the Boardwalk views at night when we stayed there as well. We were very happy we upgraded to a Boardwalk view room as well. It was nice to go sit on the balcony for a few minutes each night while Braxton was falling asleep. As much as I loved the views the bus service to the Magic Kingdom was not very good. I couldn't hardly stand having to share with two other very large hotels in the Swan and Dolphin. I wished I had had a car many times.

Your Crystal Palace meal with all the family looked really fun too. We love those characters.

What a fun breakfast with your family!

Hope you are having a magical time right now.

The Boardwalk at night is gorgeous, my goodness. What an awesome family breakfast! You can't go wrong at Crystal Palace.

 

[GoofyFan1515]

The Boardwalk is so cool at night, with all the lights! I love just walking along taking it all in also.

And there is nothing like pictures from the boat on Bay Lake! Well, unless they are while you are in an empty MK! You got some great castle shots from the boat, and some beautiful shots once you got inside!

Crystal Palace breakfast...........YUM!!!

When we got outside I insisted that we get a PP picture. Thank goodness there was a photographer right outside the restaurant. The only bad thing - the PP version never showed up. This picture was taken with my camera.



So from left to right are my oldest nephew and his wife and kids, me and Denny, Denny’s brother (they look so different, don’t they?), his wife, my middle nephew and his girlfriend (who happens to be a nurse, so I liked her immediately), and my youngest nephew who is a PA and lives in NC.

What a great family photo!!!

Now........which one did you say is Denny's brother???

 

[KatMark]

Beautiful pictures of the Boardwalk at night, Maryellen.

I LOVE your family reunion pictures. And what a great place to have it...my favorite character breakfast. I just love the kids reactions to the characters...so very cute. And it makes me want grandchildren...for real (but I will have to wait for a bit).

See you in a few days.

 

[HockeyMomR]

Ahhh nice BW evening pics. Oh the little ones at breakfast, so cute!!! Making you imagine how fun it will be with grandchildren, cute, I get it. Yes, but not quite yet.

Fabulous family photo. Oh and Denny and his brother, wow, really they are surely related!

Who can resist the Boardwalk at night?

Up early and over to MK- I do love the ferry but sometimes you just have to time it right.

Great pictures on the way over and then on an empty Main Street.

Glad everyone enjoyed breakfast and nice pictures in front of the castle.

When PP didn't link some ride photos since I "redneck" it I was just able to send them the numbers.

If I had one I really wanted to put borders on I would have just sent them the one That was taken with my camera for them to find.

Great Update Mary Ellen !! I have yet to do Breakfast at CP , I have it on my to do list!!

 

[Teetah]

Awesome TR!!! The Hubs and I are doing the World in Sept, so many similarities here on what we are hoping to experience!!

Hi All!

Just stopping in to say hello! We are having a great vacation and not one bit sad that we are missing a snow storm. The weather has been gorgeous. High 70's and sunny!

We had an awesome first day at HS, spent Saturday kayaking, and yesterday we headed south to Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, and Sarasota.

There is A LOT of traffic in this area. It took us quite awhile to get off Longboat Key yesterday. That is the only disappointing thing.

Today we plan to visit some local beaches. We'll probably head back to the Sponge Docks.

Tomorrow we plan an early departure back to Disney spending the morning at AK and the evening at Epcot.

Weds we head to MK, meet KatMark for lunch and then, sadly, head home on an evening flight.

Fun stuff!

Talk to you soon!

Glad you are missing the snow and having a good time. Hopefully, you'll add a little mini-TR within the TR. It's always good to hear about ventures off property.
