Those pre-soaped sponges come in so handy! Glad you had a good taking care of business day, it is a brilliant idea. Can't wait to hear more!

Love Brandon's pictures! Have to admit I completely skipped his info session because it went WAY over my head, but those beautiful pictures make me want to pick up a camera!

Props to you for 5 people in a Value! But I love your organizing idea with the fold up boxes. I'll have to use that next time...I'm the same way with stuff all over the only table in the room!

Love me some Epcot! And I've never eaten in Morocco, but everyone always says its so good. Will definitely have to try next time!

Can't wait to hear more about your 1st real day

 

[STLMickeyMom]

aaaaahhhh! Brynn has Minnie shoes on! Love them!! also, how cute is Julia in your family pic, standing with her arms just like mom?!? cute, cute, cute! and sawyer just waking up is adorable! your kids are like cuteness overload!

I am torn between trying san angel or tangierine for our dinner at epcot. they both sound so delicious!

I am so glad there was nothing wrong with your tire! I hate car problems and it'd be even worse at disney

 

[RyansMommy1]

As always, beautiful updates, beautiful family!

Your room and orgaizational techniques= FABULOUS!!!!

Can't wait till the "real vacation" starts!!!!

 

[jugrijo]

Hello,

I love soooo many things about your TR it would be boring if I kept saying it over and over again. Just know there's someone in Brazil who does a mini "hooray" when receives a mail with an update.

I do have to highlight, though, the last photo from your last post. Your girls just have such an attitude (a good one)! Brynn looks like a grown girl crossing her legs and Julia really is your mini-you. You even do the same pose for photos!

Also, thanks Brandon for his geeky update. I understand nothing about photography but I read his post and it was very didactic, specially the part when he explains about the quality of mega-pixels.

Thanks for showing the organizing! I know you missed. Pictures of it last year, but I definitely got the idea and ran with it myself. Of course my family thought I was nuts when I said I was bringing collapsible bins to a beach house in July, but man were they handy for diapers and such. Also, my munchkin has eczema so the amount of special lotions and soaps is kind of ridiculous.

So...thanks for the collapsible bins idea!! They're wonderful and I don't know that I would have thought of it.

So glad you guys made it and got a bonus day!! It's always better to just be there. Awesome room location. It's always fun when you can get the requests and that those really work for you.

Oh God that made me laugh with 3 workers in your room glueing a strip of wood. I just can't understand how Disney goes over budget on all their projects.

YES!!! Watching Stacey should be the absolute number one priority upon entering a resort room. Always!

It's so surreal and yet so amazingly cool and entertaining to read 2 different trip reports but have them intermingling with each other as it is with your's and Dani's. I love it!

And how great to have that bonus day to get all that admin work out of the way. Nothing but smooth sailing from here on out I'm sure.

 

[Pimama]

I love waking up to an update! Of course I'm just now getting back to comment, my kids only let me ignore them for so long before things get ugly, I don't know why they need breakfast every single morning.
Anyway, I love how there is a picture of you and Dani on your ipad when your trying to open the door.
I'm also taking some organizational notes, I wish I could say I keep stuff off of flat surfaces. My reality is that every flat surface seems to immediately attract tons of random junk. Our last trip with 6 at POR was pretty chaotic by the end. We did 7 in a cabin the year before and that was easier but there were not enough drawers, we had to use our suitcases which was messy.

My husband had leg braces for 20 years and just got rid of them about 7-8 years ago after having both of his ankles fused. I hope Brynn won't need them long, they were always so hot! At least there are lots of cute knee socks available right now and I love her sea animals!

I could probably talk (write?) your ear off since I feel like I know you from all your TRs but...that would be creepy. I did go back and read your TR from the year you guys got sick, no fun! It kind of makes me want to share my last trip disaster, it's mostly written down since I shared it on a smaller forum but I've been a little intimidated to venture into Dis territory!

Yay for updates, you look so happy on the group picture with Brandon at Epcot , what a great bonus day . I love epcot in the evening that's my favourite park, not so much for the fireworks but the atmosphere and the views , love it can't wait to get there 5 weeks and counting

 

[oscarsmummy]

Hi Jenn
Totally of topic I wanted to ask Brandon's advice about cameras , we only have about 300 dollars to spend . Is there any camera he would recommend to us in this price range ? Thanks so much , dont have a clue about cameras but need a new one

 

[okw19]

I had a long response typed out for the check-in/DTD part of the day and then Chrome crashed. Buttttt- So jealous you got to spend some time with Matt & Dani this day! Looks like you guys had fun!

I love WPE pizza, so I may or may not be drooling on my keyboard right now.

Also, boo to no tea!

The Dalmations section is so cute! I am definitely stealing all of your good packing ideas this year too!

The way you describe EPCOT is exactly how I feel as well. It's just perfect.

Such a fun night there with friends, nothing better!

ASMovies is a cute resort! When my family visited me during my first internship we stayed there and had a top floor room in the Perdida building. I love that it's so close to the main building too!

 

[Joben]

hi finally subbing. I figure since I finally subbed to Danimaroo, I should do yours also since it seems you guys are doing something like the network sit-com cross over. BTW Brandon's little geek out was very helpful and welcomed in my book

 

[Olivia'sMom]

I’ve never commented on a trip report before but I thought I would come out of the shadows.

I’ve read your last trip report and now have begun this one.

Our last day in the parks was your bonus day the 13th. As we were leaving EPCOT we passed you and your family under Spaceship Earth. I thought for a second about saying hi but that it might be a little strange. We also stayed at ASMo. We were in the Mighty Ducks building. I loved our location also. I’m so ready to go back.

I look forward to reading the rest of your report.

 

[SuperNEMOfan]

Im late but im joining in!!

I love your TR and your family, we passed each other in epcot but I was focused on finding food

Cant wait to read more

 

[Queenofallthings]

Girl....I knew I always felt a special kinship with you, but.....since I saw your amazing organizational skills..... My heart was full! My family makes fun of me and my "need to keep everything super organized and clutter free" so I just had to share with Shanleigh.....she asked when we would be purchasing the baskets for the shelf

Love your first day, love how you love all the little special things every day brings....makes me smile!! Adorable pictures once again!

 

[WildernessExplorer04]

Reading about all of Brynn's experiences with the CMs just made my heart melt! They're all so nice and polite and treat kids like they're royalty. Disney quality, ya can't get it anywhere else!

Also, the picture of Sawyer looking out on the lake with Marie is just ADORABLE. Indeed, he is the next Mufasa.

HOORAY for getting all of your errands out of the way! Can't wait for the next day! (Oh my goodness, that was rhyming central right there.)

 

[JDailey]

Great first day!!

 

[TheMaxRebo]

great set of updates - so glad you had that bonus day and that you were really able to appreciate it... love you comments at the end of the last post.

 

[churchpilot]

I'm in!!! I have read 4 other Diser's trip reports in my life, and I love your writing style, so this will be 5. I have read everything in your signature and watched the Disney video and the Panama City video will be next. We also live in Georgia and go to Disney as often as we can. Can't wait to hear more.
