I just read your TR today- loved it!

I love that you took pics of the SSR bathroom tilework. Wanna know why? I considered the exact same tile for my bathroom remodel at home! (the trim and shower tile) It's just Home Depot- imagine my surprise when I saw Disney liked it too!

That is too cute that Henry is now saying Da Da, he will get it straight one day.
Everyone in my family is doing well. Thanks for asking. I won't go into a ton of detail but first Brooklyn had a seizure and had to stay in the hospital for a few days. She is fine now, it was determined to be a febrile seizure which are caused by a child's temp. going from normal to high very fast. They never found the cause of the fever though so that was disturbing. We just have to watch her closely with fevers from now on. She was fine when she went to bed though. So it was scary but we are so blessed as it could have been much worse. Then my mom had to have a cardiac stint put in but she is recovered fine and making some life changes. Then my older brother got Lyme disease, he is also fine and recovering. I just wanted to run away for a few days though it was all piling up at once. Ok so sorry to ramble on your thread. We are just thankfull that everyone is fine and hope everyone stays that way.

Great pictures of the candy. Yum, Yum! I'm sorry your last night was a bit quiet. Sounds like the next update will be full of excitement though!

 

[disneydusted]

Hi Brook! I am caught up now... all I can say is WOW to those candy pictures! I will be taking some close up candy pics the next time we go, they are really fun!
I love Conehead Henry! Did he realize that was him in the mirror?
Can't wait to hear about your last day. AND your new TR plans!

Hi Brook, I just found your TR yesterday and I finally have gotten all caught up! Love reading TR from people from Minnesota!! Henry is simply adorable! Loved seeing all the pictures of SSR, it's seems like such a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing all your pictures too! I HAVE to try the pretzel rods at Goofy's on our next trip...they look sooooooooooooo good!

 

[tinkerbells mum]

just caught up again, i love the pictures of Goofy's Candy Company, although i'm looking forward to the next installment i'm not looking forward to your trip report finishing i've really enjoyed reading it and seeing all your pictures, thansk for sharing xx

 

[thegreggersmom]

Okay, I am all caught up now, too -- so bring on some more of the good stuff! No pressure, but remember that you are one of my inspirations for taking my little guy in December. Really, no pressure.

WELCOME! Once you post you get hoooooooooked! Pretty soon you'll be doing PTRs and TRs! Thank you for "stalking" and finally commenting!

A Disney wedding, huh?!?! HOW EXCITING, CONGRATULATIONS!! I would be so stinkin' nervous to do your wedding photos. I love the Roots photography-have you seen their work?

Isn't it funny how when reading TRs you'll just suddenly bust our laughing and the SO looks at ya like you are crazy?! Happens all the time here too!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Roots photography - Lurkyloo got me hooked big time, then Heidi's and Carly's weddings made me a believer! Just have to get my better half to agree to the price...

It's hard to keep up with your trip report, but I'm trying. Your photos from OKW are lovely! I don't know why, but I never really thought of that as a place I'd like to stay until now. I'm looking forward to reading your next installment. It sounds exciting!

 

[declansdad]

Just followed you over from our pre-trip thread and read day one and two. Great start! I'm looking forward to reading the rest.

I'm here-and things are okay, I just haven't been on the DIS at ALL this week for some very good reasons...

1) My daycare provider went into the hosptial.
2) We had a showing this week with our house.
3) We had a sudden spur of the moment decision to have a garage sale/open house yesterday (Saturday).

Cleaning a house to perfection and setting up a garage sale with a toddler under your foot, along with juggling two work schedules all week long gave us a very exhausting and complicated week!! And NO DIS TIME.

But, all is going back to normal this week, my daycare provider is doing GREAT and our garage is still set up looking slightly like a garage sale, but I don't mind parking the car outside for a while.

I haven't read any of the replies from this past week, but tomorrow night I plan to read, respond and post an update!

 

[Flossbolna]

Hi Brook, good to hear from you! I hope your daycare provider is getting better soon! Sounds like a very busy week you had, I hope all your effort with preparing the house for the showing is paying of, good luck with selling it!

 

[Charleston Princess]

You have been busy this week! Looking forward to the update later today!

 

[A's Princess]

Yikes busy girl! Hang in there!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Wow! What a busy week!! Glad your daycare provider is on the mend and hope that the showing and garage sale went well!

 

[tiggrbaby]

Hope you made lots of Disney Money!

 

[teruterubouzu]

That does sound busy! Hope things calm down for you this week.

 

[jenseib]

Hope you made lots of Disney Money!

I was going to say the same exact thing!
Hope you made lots of Disney bucks! LOL!

Hi there! Thank you for posting and saying HELLO!

I can't believe you leave TOMORROW!!!!!!!! Have a wonderful trip!!! I hope you can get into 1301, it really is a great room, very bright and fresh. We weren't overly fond of SSR either - it was just too spread out for my taste, and we didn't have the best bus service, but the views were very pretty, and I loved that quick walk to DTD.

I am very excited about staying at Kidani too! Have you seen the recent pics? There is a great 3 part review on allears.net too.

Hi Brook! I'm back from Disney and just catching up on your trip report. I loved all those pictures from Goofy's and I love those pretzels too -- I had them last week!

Thank you so much for your post about room 1301 -- while I did not get that room, I think my view was pretty similar -- I was in the same building as you in room 1247. This was so much better than the room I had last time. The view really made all the difference!

I have to say I really enjoyed the resort more this time around -- the view was great and you can't beat the walk to downtown Disney, and I really enjoyed the counter service there and the main pool. This was definitely more of a relaxing trip for once.

I did see the reviews of Kidani on allears and now that the resort is officially open of course there's a bit more info available. My last day in Disney was the day it opened so I just could not resist going over there. It really is beautiful, although the lobby and main building are much smaller than the main lodge. But the pool area is great and Henry is just going to love the interactive water area they have -- it looks fun for kids of all ages. It was so nice to see it in person after all the hype. And the savanna is great -- there were lots of animals out. I even ate at the new restaurant and while I don't typically like Indian food, I really enjoyed my meal there and it has a view of the savanna -- that alone was worth eating there. If you have any questions about the resort just let me know. We'll be staying there in August Is that where you are staying in Dec?
