Welcome Home-Our 1st DVC Trip Link to TR pg 53

[Charleston Princess]

Have fun at the pool! We have one in our neighborhood, but it was really wild and crazy there today. Kids doing cartwheels into the water, mad screaming...it was all I could do not to go into teacher mode.

I think I remember you from the MMM-Jason right? Welcome to my TR!! Glad you like spending the holiday at Disney. Thanks, it was a hard one.

Wow. Good Memory! That's me.

I'm here (a little late) and can't wait to hear all about it. Your girls are super cute! John and I talk about buying DVC often but we just are not financially ready to take the plunge yet. We have discussed the fact that right now one room works well for us but when the girls get older more space is definitely going to be a must so those 1 and 2 bedroom villas will definitely be part of our plan!

Have fun at the pool! Joe got our pool going and water samples tested good on Monday afternoon. Yesterday he texted me pictures of them swimming while I was working. I have a word for him but it would be censored out.

It was quite a time...makes me happy we have our own pool. I saw those cute pics on FB=oh boy, Leanne is cursing

I am still on Day 1 so you are not to far behind. Thanks, so are yours It is a big plunge to take. We bought resale so i think that helped. The studios are fine for now but the bigger units are sooooo nice!

After checking out the room, we made our way to the bus stop. We took the bus to MK and then the monorail to Epcot. We also waited a lot for monorails this trip. The one we were on actually broke down on the way to Epcot. We finally arrived and were on the hunt to buy our AP's!! A first for us so it was pretty darn exciting. AP's in hand we made our way in. First stop was a ride on Spaceship Earth. Both girls got a kick out of it. We then made our way to The Land. No FP's were avaible for Soarin. We had dinner at Sunshine Seasons. I think everyone had chinese. After dinner we headed over to France for our Dis Meet. We made our way to the fountain where I spotted some ladies chatting. I immediately recognized Dana (racefanof88). Gave her a big hug . I then was introduced to Michelle (MH Teacher) and Alicia (Cinderella Crazy) Also there was Jay and Leona-sorry can't remember the screen name. My girls immediately were drawn to Elizabeth and Rachel-Michelle"s girls. They decided to pair up blondes and browns instead of personalities.

Right before this pic was taken, while I was talking and not watching, C had taken off her shoes with the help of Elizabeth. "She asked me to help her take off her shoes, I did not think she would try and get in the fountain" in her cute accent. Before that Dallas had Cayley putting her hands in the fountain. Enablers I tell ya

So after we convince Cayley that a swim in the fountain was not on the agenda for the night. She really should have been more like this

Alicia's cute daughter hanging out and being good. About this time Leanne and family show up. Our girls greet eachother very enthusiastically They even gave my girls there flower headwear from the luau. It was great to see them again. We all looked for Megan (Brave Teacher) but she was nowhere to be seen Here are some of the guys and Leona.

We then walk down to try and catch some of Illuminations. It was a little late for that and there was some serious debris flying around. Elizabeth was holding Cayley-it was very sweet.

After Illuminations, it was time to head out. On the way out I took this

We returned to SSR and everyone went to sleep. It was a fun first day!

I understand and I will hope that you get the time off for your holiday with your sister. But i will also hope that maybe it gets pushed back a little so we can meet. There are many of us planning to do a 5k the first weekend of Oct.

Thanks Mary What you need to know though is...the only way I'm doing a 5k is if that's the distance from the bus, boat,or monorail to the Grey Goose Slushie stand....

 

[Queenofallthings]

What a fun day! How nice that you got to meet up with so many Dis- friends....I think that's wonderful

That last shot is amazing....I can just imagine standing there looking at it!!!

 

[Brave teacher]

I'm so sad! I so wanted to be at the meet with you all. We had been up since 5 AM. No one could go anymore after dinner. Cooper actually slept through most of it. Maybe our paths will cross again on another trip. I'm glad to hear yall had a great time though.

 

[leamom2princesses]

[MeMom]

How fun! What a beautiful group of DIS kids!
We love meeting other Disers.

 

[BrooklynnsMommy]

Looks like a super fun Dis meet. Dis kids always become fast friends!

 

[Charleston Princess]

What a great meet!!! It's always so neat to see pictures of people on each other's trip reports! It's like those crossover episodes they are always doing on the Disney Channel!

 

[SoonerGirl]

DISmeets are so much fun aren't they!

I love that Cayley was ready to wade into the fountain, that is too funny! Great pic of your girls with Michelle's DDs

 

[mickeystoontown]

I can't imagine that any of your Dis friends' children would enable another Dis child in taking a dip in a Disney fountain. You know that none of us are like that. Seriously, I can soooo see Hunter doing something like that.

It sounds like you guys had a fun time at the Dis Meet.
