There's a First Time for Everything! A Christmas In November TR

I agree!! What fantastic photos. My camera decided that it needed to have issues on day 1 of our trip. The zoom completely quit so my safari pictures really stink. I love yours! Oh no about the ruined souvenir. :(
 
You had a great safari. That is so funny that the driver called out your DH. On this day, we were at Epcot, but had to leave around 1:00 when we realized our DD had a fever (ran to CVS Minute Clinic, ended up with an ear infection, but was feeling better by that night). Thank goodness we caught it early.

Hope you don't mind me chiming in with where we were each day... thought it would be fun to see if and when our paths cross.
 
Great safari pictures! We were just there on Friday. I do love that park.

Yes, we are back at school and counting the weeks until spring break. ::yes::

Well thank you! That's terrible about your camera. I would be very upset if that happened. My vacation pictures are very important to me. That's just something that can't be replaced. I hope you were still able to get some decent pictures throughout your trip.

I don't mind at all. I'd love to see if we end up in the same place at the same time! I hate your DD was sick. That is the pits to be sick on vacation. Glad to hear she got better fast though.

I wish I was there right now. AK that is, not school. :lmao: Wouldn't a nice sunny safari beat this brutally cold weather! :rolleyes:

I used to always think..... "If I can just make it to Thanksgiving break, If I can just make it to Christmas, If I can just make it to Easter........." I always had to have something to make the goal more short term!:lmao:
 

I am in and all caught up on your TR! I feel your pain about flying, I have a specific medication regimin to get myself thru a flight. POP is such a fun resort to stay at, my boys both love it. I am going to look into that Pirates and Pals cruise for my Feb trip, what fun. Thank you so much for not showing a pic of the cockroach!! I cannot stand to even see a picture of one:scared1:. I would guess the souviner is ruined in less than 10 minutes, but I am going by my childrens standards!

I love AK! Your safari pictures were great-and I love, love, love the gorillas. When I went in January we had a lot of action with the gorillas, but when I went in October we didn't see any! I was very disappointed.

While a nice sunny safari would be awesome right now, it is only 39 degrees in Orlando!

Your daughter is just too stinkin' cute! I just want to pinch her cheeks-especially in that picture of her with your husband and his hat. :laughing:




 
You got some really fantastic safari pictures!:thumbsup2

I bought myself a new camera for Christmas with vibration reduction in the lens so I am hoping my pics will improve...we'll see:rolleyes:

I'm glad the cockroach didn't turn out to be something in your room or in a restaurant...that had me worried!:scared1:

I'm with MeMom-counting the days until spring break!:yay: 3 months from today I will be at the Magic Kingdom :banana: Along with a billion of my closest friends! LOL!:lmao:
 
Those are wonderful safari pictures. You would make a lovely safari CM! :rotfl2:

Your description of the hat made me laugh. That is something that my husband would wear too!
 
Another fan of your fabulous safari pictures!! I LOVE photography as well! I took around 3,000 pictures during our May trip and that was with ALL of the rain--I'm sure I would have taken a TON more if the weather had been better! What kind of camera do you have? I have a Canon Rebel! :goodvibes
 
I had no idea that there were kangeroos at Animal Kingdom!!! Now I will have to keep a lookout for them!

You got great pictures on the safari -- love the one with the giraffe!!! :lovestruc
 
But hey, I know you were thinking those cockroaches were going to show up in our room or on our plate, so I'll take them in a plastic display box with a smile! :laughing:

I was worried, and am so glad it wasn't in your room! :scared1:


I hope this rhino will forgive me for posting such an unflattering picture of her on the internet. :laughing:

:welcome: So glad to have you with us! I may need medication to get me through flying again. I should have taken some this time!

We loved Pop and will surely stay there again. The best part to me was that we could pay for a standard room and still stay in the 60's building which is right there by the food court/buses. You can't do that at the All-Stars.

I would SOOOOO recommend the P&P cruise!

The souvie lasted just a little longer than that, but not much! But this time it actually wasn't my DD's fault!

Animals are funny for sure. You can go one time and they all seem to be active and other times you wonder if there really are any animals in there!

39 in Orlando!!!!!!!!!!!!! :scared1: Oh goodness! That is crazy. I haven't seen the national forecast so I had no idea they were getting it too. Maybe I should be daydreaming about a Disney cruise instead!:lmao:

Aww, thank you about my DD. She got those cheeks from me. It was cute when I was 5, just not so much now!:lmao: And yes, my DH is a nut!

You got some really fantastic safari pictures!:thumbsup2

This was a new camera for me too. Overall, I was happy with it. There are just some things that won't turn out no matter how good the camera is. That still frustrates me.

I'm very glad that those were the only cockroaches on this trip too!;)

Oh, I wish I was going back in 3 months! Even if it's crowded, it's still Disney. I'd rather be there in a crowd, than here in the peace and quiet!:)

Those are wonderful safari pictures. You would make a lovely safari CM! :rotfl2:

Your description of the hat made me laugh. That is something that my husband would wear too!

Wouldn't that be a great job! I'd love to drive the safari jeep all day. Can you just imagine all the things those drivers see.

He bought that hat after watching the Indiana Jones show last year at HS. He said it was because it was hot, but the sun wasn't even out that day!:lmao: He is still 10 years old in his mind sometimes!:laughing:

What clean, sharp pictures. You must have a good camera.:goodvibes

I got a new camera a few months before the trip. So far I am very happy with it. It has a lot of nice features. I love photography, so I usually keep a nice camera and upgrade every 2 or 3 years. I took a tiny camera with me this time thinking I would use it because it was easy to carry, but the pictures just weren't good enough so I lugged the big around after all.:rolleyes:

I took about that many last year. Then when the PP pictures were added, I had about 4,000! I just love it though. I like to scrapbook and I think that makes me take a lot more pictures than the average person. I just want to remember everything and pictures are the best way to do that.

I have a Cannon Power Shot SX10 is. It is a point and shoot with a lot of features that you would find on an SLR. It has a 20X zoom that I am just nuts over. My last camera was a 10X and the difference is just awesome!

I had no idea that there were kangeroos at Animal Kingdom!!! Now I will have to keep a lookout for them!

They were in the Discovery Island area when you first come in the park. I loved seeing them. That is an animal that you don't find at most zoos.

I love the giraffes too. They are so sweet looking. I wish that one would have come up to our jeep like I have seen in other reports.

I was worried, and am so glad it wasn't in your room! :scared1:




:rotfl2: :lmao:

ME TOO!! Our room was very clean! No bugs of any kind!

Ok, I started. Will you please come check it out?

I'd love more readers! :goodvibes

Absolutely! I'm heading over there now!

Aaaah! That hurts.
Three months from now,
I will be on spring break
at home
hoping my credit card looks better
than what it does right now.
:upsidedow

At least at that point we'll be halfway to the summer trip.

Take lots and lots of pictures for me.
 
Your safari photos really are fantastic, we all know how bumpy the jeep is and that it never stops so you did a fabulous job :thumbsup2

I love your hubbies hat, he really fitted in :goodvibes

:lmao:Well, I can't take credit for that little monologue!:rotfl: I went back and looked at my video and I quoted the CM exactly!:rotfl2:

Yes, I will say that my DH did fit in. I'm just not sure if that was a good thing or not.:rotfl:
 
Fun report...we are from NC too. Last time and this next trip we are taking the train. We've flown and driven. I'd prefer to fly. Just because you get the vacation started sooner! :) Can't wait to read more!

:welcome: fellow North Carolinian! :) So how was the train? From where we live, it would have been 15 hours!!!! That's five hours LONGER than driving it. I just couldn't believe it. We just didn't think we could handle sitting there for that long without stops. Maybe we should give it a try, but it really seems like it would be a VERY long ride. You must not have thought it was too bad since you are doing it again. I'd love to know your opinion on it.
 
We took the train from Raleigh. It really wasn't a bad trip. It's overnight. We didn't have to stop to eat or potty. You could get up and walk around. The sleeping wasn't that great, but the kids enjoyed it. Hubby and I could read, watch a movie, etc... We didn't have to worry about traffic. For the four of us, it cost slightly less than the gas would have for my jeep. My girls loved it.


Definately worth a try, just for the expirence. Just don't park your car at the station (at least in Raleigh), it's not in a very good part of town.
