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

[KatMark]

Kathy first let me say again woohoo and Thank God for your clean bill of health. That never gets old, does it?

Thanks, Mary Ellen. It never gets old, trust me.

I finally have had time to catch up on your TR...not easy to ready updates on the treadmill though.

I used to have a treadmill. My husband called it the clothes collector.

I chuckled at your reference to the Mexican version of slow boat to china. I love the Three Caballeros....Katie and I sing along the whole ride, and then some, much to Joe's dismay.

I think I'd be with Joe on this one.

Sorry that your dinner at Garden Grill was not great food. I have wondered about it often, because I do like Chip and Dale and Pluto! --there are not many places to see them at. Its family style, right?

Yes, it's family style and they'll bring you more of whatever you want.

I can't believe you passed on goodies from the Karmel Kuchen. But then again, I am right there with you - I'd rather "spend" my calories on a Grand Marnier slushy than a bit of caramel!

I don't like caramel so it's an easy pass for me. I'd much rather have the Grand Marnier slushy like you.

You all are having such a fun time, its like a little vacation when I read through.

Awww...thanks.

The clown pool does not look so scary at night. but Joe would probably disagree with me LOL

It scares the you know what out of me.

I cracked up at how you siderailed poor Mark wanting a "healthy" breakfast. but really, how can you pass on the Boardwalk Bakery? Even though it can take me two or three days to finish one of their treats, they are just so worth it!

Those cupcakes are HUGE!

Your matching Christmas tees in your DHS photos are so cute! Did you make them for this trip?

A friend of Mary's and mine made them. She did an awesome job.

I know you can't wait to get back in that Florida sun with yet another miserable wave of cold, snow and ice crossing the country.

We seem to be getting out of here just at the right time...before the snow and ice hit Chicago and moves East.

Hope young Mark is still following dr orders and taking his recuperation cautiously.

Markie has been following doctors orders. One more week of the sling and then he can go back to work. Still no driving...Alisha takes him wherever he needs to go.

All caught up, Kat! I love all of your PP pics! And the pics from Epcot were really making me "homesick!"

Thanks, Ali. I'm still not sure if I'm doing their new photo thing...sounds like a headache to me.

Although I have to say 'Thanks a lot!' for getting the Figment song stuck in my head! "With F-I-G-M-E-N-T, you can see things differently!" I love Figment!

And didn't it just make you smile? I LOVE Figment (quiet Andy and Mark!).

And I totally LOVE you Dumbo bag!! How can I get on this list to get her to make me a bag!?

Thanks; I'll PM you her link on FB.

Yep. That clown pool is absitively, posolutely, terrifying. I avoided it like the plague when we were there in October!

I told Mark in September I am ONLY going to the quiet pool.

Nice plans for March! Your FB countdown is making me so jealous! Now I know how everyone else feels when I do it!

Doesn't it kill you when you see others and you don't have one? I can't believe we leave tomorrow.

Kathy, I am so envious of you; your trip to Florida and WDW is just hours away and I'm once again here enduring -0 temps and the forcast of up to a foot of snow in the next day.

You are getting a foot? Good Lord, I do feel sorry for all of you.

With that said................................................................








HAVE A GREAT TIME!!!!!

Thank you; it's work and pleasure, but I'll take it just to get out of dodge.

stopping by to wish you a magical trip! enjoy the warm weather ! safe travels!!!

Thank you, Lisa.

We did have a great time in DL !!! Will start planning our spring break 2015 trip to Wdw in a couple months!!!
Been crazy here with Megan's schedule and the next three months aren't going to be any better looking forward to a lazy weekend

!

Sounds awesome! We aren't going to DW in 2015; we are doing DL if all goes as planned.

So I want to get a quick update in here before we take off for Florida tomorrow. For those of you who have threads I'm behind on, I'm going to try to catch up on them tonight after I pack.

Before I move on to the update, I had lunch today with a fellow DISer, tiggerrn2 (Linda). Linda was downtown with her daughter who was at dance classes and we were able to work out a lunch. And as we all know, if there isn't a picture, it didn't happen. Well, we have a picture...but it's a little dark because of the windows behind us:



We had a great hour visiting together. Thanks for calling me to arrange this Linda.

So, Mary and the girls arrived and we had time before our first FP+ selection, so it was decided we would go to the movies.



























After our movies were over, we left and took a little stroll.



And ended up here:



This ride made me sick last time, so I let the group go without me.

After they came back safe and sound, we went to see the Muppets in 3D. A fun show, as always.

We came upon something that we would unfortunately be seeing a lot of once we got home:



Not the girls, you silly people. The SNOW!

At this point, it was time for our first FP+ which Mary and I would be sitting out.



This was Cayley's first time on the ride. How do you think she liked it?



Up next, another FP+ attraction, some lunch and OUR surprise.



I will be posting photos one in awhile on FB of our trip this week. I hope you all have a great week ahead.

How fun to have lunch with a fellow diser!

So funny...yet so sad about the snow. Funny how kids love to get their pic with that snowman!

Not sure if I would say she looks like she is enjoying that ride.

 

[Pluto0809]

That was a nice ride through the movies to end a long work week!

I don't blame you for sitting out Star Tours, it makes me really sick too.

Hmmm, not too sure if Cayley liked the ride or not. She doesn't look too thrilled there but most people don't in that ride photo.

 

[DMGeurts]

Sorry I am a bit behind here Kathy... So relieved for your clean bill of health - I did comment on FB - but I figured that I would mention it here too... What a nice way to start your vacation with no worries!

Also - you know how I feel about Dismeets... How awesome that you were able to meet and have lunch. Still bummed that you won't be in Chicago when we come in May... The funniest part of all of this... You've met Suzi... You've met me... But you have yet to meet Mo - and you both live in Chicago... I think the two of you need to meet for lunch one day soon.

Loved the update and the ride through TGMR!

Lastly - I hope you have a fantastic trip! Looking forward to some live updates on FB over the next few days! Enjoy the warm and the sun!

D~

 

[nowellsl]

Congrats on the test results! I can't imagine what a relief that must be!

Have a great trip! It's been cold in the mornings here the last couple of days, but warms up quick and has been perfect weather, especially for a Disney trip!

 

[GoofyFan1515]

Okay I missed on the meaning of this chapters title............

I just knew it meant you were headed to MK to hit you up some Starbucks first thing in the morning!



You mean YOU were wrong? I didn't think that possible.

Wrong? I never used that word.........

The girls look real excited Mr. Mark took them to the movies.

I still haven't gotten a picture with the snowman.......

Great job my Cayley riding RnR with Mr. Mark.

Hope you have a great trip!!!!

 

[Poolrat]

I am sure you are on your way but have a magical trip and be blessed with warm dry weather.



Not sure how Cayley feels. Hopefully she loved it.


Nice DHS day all around. I never seem to spend time around the area where the snowman is.

 

[englishrose47]

Have a great trip Kathy !! I love the GMR , can rid it over and over !!!

 

[dizneeat]

Sorry I am late in wishing you a wonderful trip, but I am home sick and was too tired to DIS.

But ...... now, have a wonderful and magical time on your trip. Safe travels.

 

[JulieODC]

Hope your travels went well today!!

BW Bakery looks so yummy!! Great start to the day!

 

[KatMark]

We arrived in Orlando on time.

Someone was happy to be out of Chicago and the snow they are now getting.



It took awhile to get the rental car (Budget will be getting a letter from me). We drove to DTD and had dinner at Wolfgang Puck Express...it was yummy.

And I could NOT let my DIS friends down. We found a new hat:



I'm off to bed...because I'm sick! Yep, woke up feeling a little off and now have a very runny nose and sore throat. I took some meds and hoping a good night's sleep will have me feeling better tomorrow.

Tomorrow it is off to see a customer, then we drive to Pensacola for Monday appointment and then to Jacksonville for Tuesday appointment and after that appointment we drive to AKL Kidani Studio with a savannah view and a day and a half at Disney.

I'll post some Disney pictures when we get there.

 

[englishrose47]

Oh I am soooo with Mark to get outta this cold weather would be devine!!!!

 

[GrammyJudy]

Kathy hope you feel better in the morning drink some Florida orange juice and try to rest. After all you want to be better when you see Mickey.

 

[jedijill]

I hope you feel better soon! Enjoy a lot of the Vitamin Sunshine!

Jill in CO

 

[Chicago Mo]

Boo on being sick!!! Hope you feel lots better SOON!!!

yep you missed the snow. but as you saw i posted a picture for you...


New hat!!! it looks GREAT!!!



Love the walking picture PRECIOUS!!!

 

[annmarieda]

I hope you feel better!!

 

[Linda67]

Sorry you are feeling sick
I have it on good authority that zebra domes have a medicinal quality - good for you that you are heading to the right place

 

[tazdev3225]

Loved the update and he Pooh ears are very nice. I am hoping to have some good hat pics in May. My traveling companion is fun like that.

Hope you feel better. I would rather be sick in Florida than be here in Philly. We are getting another storm with up to a FOOT of snow tonight.

I may be changing the title of my TR so just look for my name although I will PM those who have been replying. Someone started one a couple of days ago and used my title. I know I should be flattered but I'm not. And I keep opening it thinking it's my TR which is getting tiresome.

Enjoy that sunshine.

 

[dizneeat]

Kathy, I really hope you feel better soon! No fun being sick on vacation.
