This time our son is coming too! Final update at last!

[Nicole786]

Aw Poor Ariel for missing out on Haunted Mansion!! At least you didnt have to sit next to David on that ride, who sings along at the graveyard scene!

 

[MeMom]

Cute pictures at 'Ohana. No food pictures? Did you think your friends would think you were weird taking pictures of their food???

You can certainly see the heat in those rosy cheeks under the Philharmagic glasses!

Good luck next week with students! Enjoy what little sanity you have left this weekend. We've been back about three weeks now, and mine has already been damaged. Thankfully, we are getting another teacher added, which means we will each get to lose 2-3-4 kids, and fall break is in six weeks!

What did the girls like best from that day? What were the first impressions of the whole Disney experience from the parents?

 

[declansdad]

Great start! What a pretty resort We are huge Phineas and Ferb fans at our house too - so I love Declan's shirt!

The resort was beautiful and very easy to get around.

I'm here, I'm here.

Can't wait for more!!

Welcome back.

Joining in! I'm glad you had an uneventful trip down and a fun swim to end the day!

Welcome! I was ready to head for a park but decided that sleep might be a better idea.

Aurora was pretty brave right up to the time we walked through the front doors. She was teling us she knew they were all fake and they wouldn't be scary. A CM out front told her it was Scooby Doo scary so I asked if he was aloowed to say that.

No food pictures this trip. We had to break them in slowly.

If I had to guess, Aurora's favs were the characters and the Mountains while Ariel fell in love with Small World and Frozen Lemonade.

Fall break? You teachers are always on a break.

When I darkened the doors of college, I looked for the career with the most breaks and said, "Sign me up!"

Wish I had thought of that.

We take the morning picture as well. Just a little piece of mind.

OHanas breakfast always sounds so yummy, but DH limits me on breakfasts, so that one always gets pushed back.

It looks like the newbs are having a good time and catching on nicely! I'm glad that Princesses are enjoying themselves as well.

I'm surprised more kiddies aren't freaked out in that stretching room.....I would never have done it at a young age, but now that I'm older, I do enjoy tormenting the children while waiting

....and yes I hate to admit that I just very well may be a resort snob.....but to truly be a resort snob I have to win the lottery cause I can't afford to stay there all the time

can't wait for more, love the pictures, they're great

Thanks for sharing the trip report. We are staying at POFQ in a month- and it's great to read a trip report taking place so close to our visit.

Ah the lottery win plan! We have many versions of that plan.

Welcome to our little report. POFQ is a nice little resort, let us know if you any questions and we will try to answer as best we can.

We've never been to breakfast at O'Hana's. It sure sounds great. I found the recipe for the pineapple bread on all ears. I've never had it so maybe I should make it to see what all the fuss is about!

Glad the newbies are having fun, sure sounds like you got a lot done on your first day. Yeah, I think if I was a kid the stretching room would have done me in too!

Can't wait for more.

The juice and bread are almost worth the trip to O'Hana's by themselves.

Glad to se the TR has begun, I always love to see your pics!

POFQ pool looks like so much fun, it will be neat to see the resort from your perspective before MeMom and the girls go.

I always thought the serpent slide was very cool!

It was a smart idea to ease the "newbies" into the massive WDW parks.

I can't wait for more!

I hope you have a relaxing Labor Day!

We made our way to POTC. I was glad to see that Jack was still there waiting for me Now if they would just add Will, my life would be complete!

Awesome, you rode POTC the first day! Can't wait to ride that one again.

So much fun hearing about your trip. Great pictures of POFQ. We've never been there or to Ohana's. Love seeing the pictures so much. Looking forward to more.

Loving the first bits! The 'Ohana breakfast always sounds so, so tasty - if it's even half as good as the dinner, I know I'll love it!

Great idea on taking a picture of your child before you leave the room.

The Newbies were a bit overwhelmed in the beginning but the soon fell into the swing of things. The slide certainly look cool but there are far better slides at other resorts.

I tried to get some more pictures of the resort later on but I did run into a bit of a problem. More on that later.

We started taking start of day pictures of Declan on our first trip. It also helps me figure our where each day begins on the memory cards.

Another update coming up shortly.

Great update! We are going to 'Ohana on our first day for dinner...can't wait to hear more about your trip. And using the pic of Declan to know where one day starts is a great idea...I may have to try that this trip

Thanks.

Here are a few more pics from that day at MK.

This was taken around 11 am. Fairly typical of the crowds for the first few days.

Always need some balloon pics.

Looks fairly quiet in this pic.

Taken on the way back from my FP run to BTMRR

Loving the pictures of the castle. You'll have to check out my blog sometime. My header picture is one I took of the castle on our last trip. Declan looks so cute in the stocks! Looking forward to more!
