Great update. Nice to have a morning just to chill. Fun pics as always.

Thanks Mary!

Chill was the right word to use. It was very, very chilly that morning..

Awww, I just love Epcot and I get all tingly inside when I see the World Showcase for the first time!

I got tingly inside too...I also shed a tear or two I'm sure....

Is that tomato soup? I love that stuff!

It is tomato soup! It was the BEST!

Hey Jordan,

I have seen you all over the DIS, so thought it was time I dropped in!!

Your TR is great!! I'm subbing in!!

Thanks for the play by play on the bathrooms. I'm afraid DH won't "go" the entire 12 days we're away!!! This will make him feel better....at least he can go in Epcot!!

I don't think I hold the record for most TRs/PTRs subscribed to, but I do follow quite a few.

I will do a Restroom recap at some point. So you know where you can catch a great restroom.

WQait a minute you mean you control your POOFS!!!!!

yes! can you imagine how much worse it could be if I didn't.

 

[jordanyosh]

And I'm glad you do! I'll be living vicariously through yours until December when we go back.

I'm tempted to start a pre-trip report, but it's only March!

I deem it acceptable to start a PTR up to 2 years out..

 

[englishrose47]

That's why I love doing Trip Reports. It extends the vacation--in my case usually 15 or so months..

At least and for Winkers it is eternal!!!!

Hmm, so 8.5 months is totally acceptable!

Maybe I will start one soon after all!

Absolutely. I started the last one 8 months out.

 

[jordanyosh]

Exactly

I used to think I'd never stay in a value...but it's been an eye opening experience...I love Pop for sure.

Going with the family I have always stayed in a deluxe. We needed the room and with the DD and DS we needed a space for a blow up bed or a pull out.

i have taken a couple of trips and stayed at CSR- conferences and CBR with DD as a guilty mommy trip for taking DS to CSR and loved them

We tried ASMo as a family and a double does not suit DH and me. We have a king at home and found out we were crabby on vacation because we could not get a good night sleep on a double.

CSR now with queens is an option for the whole family
stayed at POP in Oct since so many Disers love it and I agree I love it too!!!

From the CM's to the busses to the grounds, it was great.


Alone time .... I highly recommend it. Our last family trip I took time to let everyone do as they please and had some alone time and I loved it.

Went solo in Oct and I tell you it was great. It is great to share with friends and family but some alone time...

If I had to share a bed, I could not do a value or even a moderate. I would need a queen at least. Or I'd do what I always do, sleep on the floor.

Alone time is great as is family time...but completely different beasts....

I don't know if I'll ever stay at CSR as I live in the Southwest...we'll see. The renovated rooms look awesome.

Seems like a contradiction in terms "Momentum, a retreat for YOUNG leaders" and you, a guy pushing 50...I think you'd be a better model for a sign like "Depends, a solution for incontinence"
That is hysterical Derek!No offense to you Jordan, but it is funny.

none taken. it's a fact...i'm old.

While I like the relaxed feeling of your morning it also puts me in a panic that you didn't do much! I'm trying not to overschedule us but since we've never been and not sure when we'll be back I don't want to miss anything. Have you been enough times that you were able to "justify" going slow, or did you just feel like it?

If I wasn't sure when I'd be back, I'd be in super itinerary mode.

I've been 14 times before and knew I'd be back in 2012 and beyond soo I knew I could take my time. It was nice.

I`m catching up. still reading along following your handy dandy links.
Just finished reading the article on your Dad. Wow! He`s an incredible Man!
A very special Man. Congratulations to him! I loved what he said about,,,well,,I just Copied and pasted...we should all remember this.

“I think carrying excess baggage or bitterness narrows your perspective of life. It doesn’t expand you as a person. To carry something with bitterness and hurt scars you as an individual for not being able to overcome it. And to live in that state is something that is unhealthy as far as I’m concerned.”

Great article! thanks for sharing!

back to reading up!
