I came back from the long weekend with 2 great updates! (Or was it three?) I don't know but it was a lot
I think this close up of Luke and Tim is such a perfect picture, you should definitely frame this one!
Of course T & L's antics always entertain. I fear that those folks on the OTHER side of Tim by the 'bathrooms' got a little bit of a fright watching him 'play' by the water feature.
And oh, Le Cellier, how I love thee. Let me count the ways.
Your pretzel bread, so salty and delish.
The warm and creamy cheddar cheese soup, my biggest wish.
And your filet, hands down best I've EVER had.......sorry Dad!
Your smores, and chocolate "moose"...I love them, though they've given me a big caboose!!!
I call it, "Ode to Le Cellier"
I agree, I love that picture of the two of them. Glad we continue to entertain you, Tim entertains me daily : ) LOVE your ode to Le Cellier, it's GREAT!
I love Animal Kingdom. Sounds like you and your friends had a blast. I love to experience Disney with friends.
We did have a great time!
Another great update! Tim cracks me up with the fountain pic and him and Luke dancing... adorable! I also love your TV to show what's coming soon. To me it sounds like Biergarten is next! That seems like the most fun place, I can't wait to read about it!
'Thanks, Tim and Luke crack me up too, glad it made you smile as well, next update coming up tonight so stay tuned.
What a fantastic AK day with friends!
We're trying Flame Tree for the first time next month. Any recommendations?
It was such fun. Yes, I love the pulled pork BBQ, the key lime desert is yummy (after you peel the top green jello layer off), the beans and cole slaw are yummy too. Tim LOVES the rib combo there.
Loving the update!!! Can't wait for the next installment!
Coming up tonight
Great update! Glad you had some AK mojo! You can't beat a 5 min wait at EE two times in a row, in June! Glad you had a great time with your friends. the pictures from the safari are great...tons of giraffe's!
Looking forward to reading about your dinner with Diane and her family!
Yes, tons of giraffe's, such a great one. The wait times rocked that day! Update with Diane and family coming up tonight.
What a great day at AK, I love Kali...nothing like getting soaked on a super hot day. It actually helped us stay at the park a little longer in August because we weren't overheated....I love that ride.
Kali is GREAT, definitely a life saver for us at AK over the years.
Awesome update! Lauren is right about girls walking and talking, she is so funny. Also, love her side ponytail, I remember rockin that look when I was a kid. Can't wait to read more.
Melissa
She was a trip walking and talking and with her side ponytail that day : )

for Tim
not using the bathroom.
The perils of the state mandated signs. I guess it is classified as a water feature and regulated like a pool. But

and

and of course EWWWWWW.
Happy we could give you a laugh, we had lots that day
Pictures of the girls at AK are so cute, heck all the kids pictures are cute. I would guess that a CM took the picture of all of you on Kali, how very nice. Love the low crowd levels.
Thanks, you are too sweet. Yes, the CM took the pic of us, she offered to get me to put the camera away I think
Great updates. Will Luke and Lauren ever get to swim?
YES, stay tuned
Ohhh what kind? Im currently looking at Cannon.. its tough choice..
The
Canon EOS
Rebel T1i Digital SLR Camera LOVE it, but feel we need to invest in a bigger lense soon for close up shots.
Lesley[/QUOTE]
Ohhh okay I just knew it was a Rebel I think everyone I have talked to about Cannon has a rebel..

So im studying up

I love your new update, we wished we had spent more time at AK, we missed a lot because it was soooo hot and we were torn on what to do since we only had one day planned there. Next trip we wanna do more at AK
the "bologna" thing cracked me up[/QUOTE]
Happy you enjoyed the update, bologna was super fun!
Lesley, Is the new Canon an SLR? I have a XSi, and I am dreading using it in the parks. I love the camera and it takes lovely pics...it is just big compared to my lovely little Nikon coolpix. Any advice???
How wonderful that you were able to spend time with friends in AK (and even more friends at Epcot...which I am looking forward to reading about!)
Ours is:It is the Canon Rebel Xs EOS. I agree, it's a pain to carry in the parks especially in the heat of June so that's why I brought it out in the evenings, I carried my small ones during the day, that worked best for us.
Lesley I just finished reading yours and Diane's TR as well as Tim & Bryan's TR and let me say, those trips have entertained me just as much as all the others!!
You girls packed a TON into a little bit of time, and I just love that you got upgraded to concierge!! Obviously I could comment on a lot, but let me just say I love the bonding time and all the yummy drinks! (Ever since my 1st Grey Goose Slush a few years ago, I have never made a trip to WS without having one!)
Oh and speaking of bonding, seems like Tim & Bryan developed a real closeness during their guys only trip
Tim absolutely cracked me up with the "not together" comments, as well as the many "warm embraces" they shared later in the trip.
And then the hibachi chef making references to you and Diane, that was a riot.
Now that I've finally read the reports I missed, I feel complete
Happy you found our guys and girls reports and you enjoyed them, they were such fun, such great memories, hopefully it won't be the last ones. Tim cracked me up with those comments as well and yeah, that chef wouldn't leave us alone : )
I have these Croc shoes! I wanted blue, like Tim, but they were out. Got red and black (UGA colors....GO DAWGS) instead. Of course, I probably have like 15 pairs of Crocs, just for me, so it isn't that unusual...lol.
Too funny!
All caught up! Got behind with the wedding, honeymoon, then coming home to the reception. I like to read along but it is nice sometimes to have more than one updte to read cuz it is hard to wait sometimes!
Great updates, as usual!
CONGRATS again, looks like your reception was fun. Happy you enjoyed the updates.
Your AK day was SO much fun!!!! I bet you guys so enjoyed having your friends from home to share it with!!!! I had to laugh though.....Tom has Tim's shirt and I have your shirt!!!!

Ha ha ha!
It was such fun. That is funny about the shirts.
Yet another great update. Love the Bologna! Kids always do better when you make it fun. Sounds like such a great day with your friends, so glad the crowds were manageable and you got sooo much in before you had to leave. Score for you on finding the spray fan!
Yes, it was fun for the kids with the bologna safe word for sure : )
Oh
I forgot to mention that on our way to the Safari we grabbed fast passes for kali River Rapids, it was now time to use those, so we headed that way:
I really look forward to your yearly TR's. We always go in August and I use yours to get really extra excited for our yearly trip.
With this picture, it took me a second to realize where in the park this was taken. I have never seen the park that empty. Lucky for you!!
Yes, park was so empty, it was great!
yay, just found your Tr and all caught up. Love reading your trip reports. Your family seems like so much fun!
Awesome!
Welcome! I am glad you are enjoying it so far, another update coming tonight.
