Turn Around and See What Happens -- It's Whoopi Time and that's a wrap 3/31; F&G add

[natebenma]

Incredible!

What an amazing display of lights. So glad you got to experience it with so many dear friends!

The Christmas bulb and glow necklaces add a nice touch to your outing.

Dinner at the Yacht Club? I'm going to go with Captain's Grille- almost always room at the table there. Second guess would be one of the lounges.

YAY for the Osborne Lights!! So pretty and festive!

 

[goofy4prez]

Looks like you all had a great time at HS and seeing the Osborne Lights. I had seen pictures and a video on Youtube of the lights but it did not prepare me for just how spectacular they were in person. We almost decided to call it a day when we were at HS, but decided to wait it out and see the lights. I did not regret a minute of it.

Looking forward to seeing where you all ate. I'm also betting it was the Captains Grille, but it would not be a surprise to see you all splurge for a late dinner at Yachtsman Steakhouse either.

 

[Chicago Mo]

There is NOTHING like the Osbourne lights Just spectacular!! jaw dropping.
Did you find the purple cat?!?!?

As always everyone in your group is super CUTE!!! Sorry you didn't get your drink.. I really do like the girls necklaces!

 

[pas130]

I'm also betting on Captains Grille. DH and I were lucky to get a last minute dinner reservation there on our couple trip

And one day you're TR will be written from your Florida home, and the Pas clan can visit you on our drive to the beach. I'll treat you to Starbucks

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Osbourne Lights are just beautiful. We had so much fun finding all the hidden Mickey's in the lights and then looking for the black cat.

Sounds like you had a nece evening at DHS.

 

[Disney9.9.10]

I had about 30 pages to catch up on, so I'm going to post now before I forget everything!!

I'm so glad that you got to ride SE since you had to miss it last time.

The photo of you and Cayley with Princess Aurora is adorable

Poor Mark falling into those bushes! It sounds like one of those moments that is hilarious once you know that nobody is hurt

I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy the food at Garden Grill, but glad that the character interactions were good at least.

I love how the girls join Mark in trying on all of the hats.

You've been busy by the sounds of it - I hope that everyone is doing well now.

Now off to finish the rest!

EDIT: I'm done now

I love your bag from D - she is so talented!

Congratulations on 7 years and a great mammogram!!

Lovely photos of the Osbourne Lights, they are so amazing.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Great job with the Osborne lights! I love them! We're talking about a late December trip now and I sure hope they don't take them away!

cartwheeling their way to Yacht Club! Sounds like something my kids would do with some dance moves too! If it is Captain's I hope you liked it. We had dinner there once a long time ago and liked it despite slow service.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

All caught up! Great to see you were able to catch up with Todd and your long-lost sister.

Your ToT photo had me

Makes me feel better about my Buzz Lightyear picture a couple years ago.

Love the Osborne lights. Man, I need to see them in person someday.

 

[KatMark]

I love the Osborne Lights! I hope they don't go away like I heard rumors of.

Jill in CO

Jill, I hope so too; I think Disney is making enough changes and cutting enough. I think there will be a public uproar if they do.

Hi Kathy ! I got about 10 pages behind due to work but now I'm all caught up. I'm not even going to try to comment on all I read at this point but I wanted you to know that I'm still here.

Thanks, Ariana.

I am sad she will not be able to come. With this being our last trip to Fl for awhile it may be way to long until we see her again

I know; I'm sad too as I know us four girls would have had a blast (especially without the pokey guys).

Loved the dancing lights!!

They truly are special.

Mary, Avery, Cayley and Nicki took the boat to the Yacht Club. Mark, Todd and I went to get the car and drive to the Boardwalk to park the car and then we walked to the Yacht Club.

Oh no they did not, they walked and ran and cartwheeled LOL. And then walked right past the YC cause they were chatting LOL

How did I not know this? I think I was so tired at that point (and ticked at my husband) that I either forgot it or you didn't tell me. But this does not surprise me at all. I'm so glad they had fun with Nicki.

Yay for Nikki and Todd joining in on the fun! I know that you were all so happy to see them. Are you sure that Nikki found the ADR or did Todd since I have read so many times that he's the King of getting reservations spur of the moment.

Yes, I'm sure it was Nicki...she was on the phone talking, on hold, talking, etc. I don't even think the great Todd could have gotten us a walk-up on this particular night.

Aren't the Osborne lights beautiful! We loved getting to see them too, finally getting around to scrapping our trip this week and been reliving all our fun with you all!

They really are? I could stay there for hours and just smile from ear to ear and dance too.

We enjoyed our time with you as well.

The Osbourne Lights were the highlight of my Dec. Trip, oh and our dismeet of course. Since we probably won't go in Dec again I'm glad we got to see them. We plan to go back to our Feb trips to get away from winter.

I'm glad you got to see them. I don't blame you for wanting to change to February and get away for winter...especially after the winter we have all had.

 

[KatMark]

Cute picture!

Thanks; it just dawned on me that Avery's lights are turned off.

I had wanted to see the lights this year for one last time, in case the rumor is true that they will be moved.

Let's hope that rumor is not true.

So glad you got to share this night and the O-Lights with friends that are family.

It was a perfect evening.

I love the Osbourne Lights. Love seeing the subtle differences with new stuff added. I'm sure that puppy at the door didn't have a santa coat when we were there.

Thanks, Emma. I don't remember from the trip before if the puppy had on a santa coat or not. But I thought it was very cute.

I love all the pictures of Osborne lights!! The one of the girls is so nice too! They definitely are cuties!

Thanks, Ann. It's such a special show and loved sharing it with my girls.

The Osborne Lights look so awesome. I hope I get to see them in person someday.

Oh, I hope you do too. I think everyone should experience them at least once.

Can't wait to see your dinner plans.

Coming up soon.

Isn't that the best just enjoying the music and the dancing lights? All the details that they have are just so beautiful! Love the glow necklaces for the guys - very festive.

It truly is; it's just so magical and just puts you in the Christmas spirit (which I really lack most years because of all the craziness of the holidays). The girls did a good job for the guys.

Looking forward to hearing about dinner with you and your group!

Thanks; coming up soon.

Incredible!

What an amazing display of lights. So glad you got to experience it with so many dear friends!


Me too; it really made it a very special night.

The Christmas bulb and glow necklaces add a nice touch to your outing.

We needed to be festive and these were perfect for the occasion.

Dinner at the Yacht Club? I'm going to go with Captain's Grille- almost always room at the table there. Second guess would be one of the lounges.

You will find out soon enough. But since I didn't know the lounges served food, I can tell you it wasn't a lounge.

YAY for the Osborne Lights!! So pretty and festive!

Thanks, Julie. They truly are.

Bob, I would have had to disown you as a DIS friend if you had left and not stayed for the lights. They truly are spectacular.

Looking forward to seeing where you all ate. I'm also betting it was the Captains Grille, but it would not be a surprise to see you all splurge for a late dinner at Yachtsman Steakhouse either.

You'll just have to wait to find out.

There is NOTHING like the Osbourne lights Just spectacular!! jaw dropping.

Yes they are jaw dropping.

Did you find the purple cat?!?!?

I did, but for some reason I didn't take a picture.

As always everyone in your group is super CUTE!!! Sorry you didn't get your drink.. I really do like the girls necklaces!

Yes, we are cute, aren't we? Mark enjoyed getting those necklaces for the girls as a special treat. He loves them dearly.

I'm also betting on Captains Grille. DH and I were lucky to get a last minute dinner reservation there on our couple trip

What did you think of Captain's Grille?

And one day you're TR will be written from your Florida home, and the Pas clan can visit you on our drive to the beach. I'll treat you to Starbucks

From your mouth to God's ears. And we would welcome you...even without a Starbucks.

Osbourne Lights are just beautiful. We had so much fun finding all the hidden Mickey's in the lights and then looking for the black cat.

I enjoy looking for the hidden Mickey's...so much fun.

Sounds like you had a nece evening at DHS.

We really did.

I had about 30 pages to catch up on, so I'm going to post now before I forget everything!!

You have a very valid excuse...you had a baby...and a beautiful one too.

I'm so glad that you got to ride SE since you had to miss it last time.

It was good riding it; I love the ride and it brings back happy memories of my dad.

The photo of you and Cayley with Princess Aurora is adorable

Thanks.

Poor Mark falling into those bushes! It sounds like one of those moments that is hilarious once you know that nobody is hurt

I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard.

I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy the food at Garden Grill, but glad that the character interactions were good at least.

We had a blast with those characters.

I love how the girls join Mark in trying on all of the hats.

They often found ones to give Mr. Mark. They love doing that with him.

You've been busy by the sounds of it - I hope that everyone is doing well now.

Things are hectic, but good. Mark's surgery is in a month but it's an easy one.

Now off to finish the rest!

EDIT: I'm done now

I love your bag from D - she is so talented!

Isn't she? I just love that bag.

Congratulations on 7 years and a great mammogram!!

Thank you!

Lovely photos of the Osbourne Lights, they are so amazing.

Yes, they truly are.

Great job with the Osborne lights! I love them! We're talking about a late December trip now and I sure hope they don't take them away!

I think I will definitely boycott Disney if they do.

cartwheeling their way to Yacht Club! Sounds like something my kids would do with some dance moves too! If it is Captain's I hope you liked it. We had dinner there once a long time ago and liked it despite slow service.

I love how kids will just break into dance or cartwheels. You know they are happy kids.

All caught up! Great to see you were able to catch up with Todd and your long-lost sister.

I was so happy they came for a day and met Mary and the girls.

Your ToT photo had me

It was funny; no, it was actually scary.

Makes me feel better about my Buzz Lightyear picture a couple years ago.

I remember that photo.

Love the Osborne lights. Man, I need to see them in person someday.

I hope you do...so worth it.

 

[dizneeat]

I thought I had posted here, but I guess ........... I did NOT. Sorry. Just wanted to say ...... great photos of the Osbourne Lights.

 

[MEK]

I love that the boys got necklaces for the Osbourne lights. Just the accessory they both needed.

How cute are Cayley and Avery with their light bulb necklaces.

The thing I love best about the Osbourne lights are all the cute little creative touches everywhere. The dog at the door. The bicycles. The hidden Mickey. Too cute.

 

[Sherrkel]

Hello Kathy,
Nice to catch up on the Dis by reading your TR . . .haven't been on in a while. It's nice to try different resorts - we always loved CSR, where I first saw your posts when I joined a few years ago, but decided to be brave and try something different. So last year we stayed at POR and really liked it! Next trip (Feb, 2015) we hope to stay at CBR (they have a refurb planned soon so that would be a plus).
Hope you enjoyed Boardwalk, I really like that area and would love to try it someday too !

 

[jenseib]

The Osborne lights are so awesome. I can never get enough of them. hopefully I can get there to see them again someday!

 

[eandesmom]

No snowball???? you were robbed! Did you end up getting anything at all?

I love the dancing lights, you really can't have too many pictures.

I just LOVE this window:

Me too!

I can't wait to see where you ended up for dinner, how very very fun to have all of you together.

 

[Woth2982]

What a great end to the park night. The Osborne lights are really amazing. The boys look great in their glow necklaces. Those guys really are amazing to the girls! Looking forward to your dinner wrap up!

 

[momabbate]

Sending prayers for Joe and his family!

Love the Osborn Lights pictures. I too hope they find something to do with them.

 

[englishrose47]

Kathy the Lights are beautiful !!! I sure hope this wasn't their last year !!!
