Who would have thought!? A Boo to YOU! Sept 09 TR! 2 for 1 on 10/24 - GREAT FUN!

What a fun filled last morning! Love your Dismeet picture! :thumbsup2

I really, really, really liked going during October....for the F&W as well as MNSSHP. I am point challenged next year so I only have one trip planned for May but I can count on many more fall trips in my future! :yay:

Awww...what a great last day!!! I'm so glad we were able to meet up and spend a few moments together chatting while your DH ran to get Lobster rolls LOL!! Your boys were too cute!! I loved being able to meet them too!!!!!

Your finally morning at MK looked like a ton of fun!!

What a great trip!!
 
You had a full last day! Great pics of the boys in MK! Can't wait till you go back in December so we can read another report!

Denise
 
Sounds like you guys had a great fall trip. I agree it's a wonderful time to go. Beautiful weather, special events, so much fun!
I'm planning to save my personal days from this year and use them in combination with next years personal days and a comp day for conferences and go back for MNSSHP and F&W 2010....

Ah HA!!! so you are scheming missy, for another return... well I think you are scheming for a few returns... :rolleyes1

What a wonderful last day and such happy pictures! Love the dismeet pic!

I'm impressed your guys could hold those guns, poor Eric, with zero upper body strength, had a dickens of a time!

Yes the photo was fun! I am a wreak, having ridden Splash right before we left MK, and literally got the big splash on the way up and down on the ride! My clothes were still wet!

I think they prop them up, so their aim is decent, but they can't reach everything!

Quick catching up. Sorry about the parade times... those parties stress me out because there is so much happening besides the attractions. It cracks me up how you can miss all the characters... I can only imagine the lines my girls would drag me into for the special characters in costumes during the party!

That 4 parks CD is awesome... it has made it upstairs in a bedroom... I need to steal it back.

I know, I am surprised they don't want to see anyone!!! I am hoping that wont be the case with the christmas characters...

It IS a great CD! My DS4 really really likes it.

What a darling picture of the four of you at the your DIS meet! You look like you are having so much fun!

Every trip I think about taking Connor to the Shooting Arcade -- maybe this next one will be the time I actually follow through!

You know I am looking forward to the goodies post! :banana:

Oh they were a great bunch of ladies to meet! It was fun to chat with them. they are very serene, having just eaten a leisurely lunch at Chefs....

I gotta download photos into Photobucket, but tomorrow, I should be able to post it up!

What a wonderful last day. Hitting up both MK and Epcot sounds like a great idea! :thumbsup2

I love the picture of you, Jen, Paula and Christine. Super cute!!

It was a fun photo to take, DH obliged as the photographer... :)

It was a whirlwind am, but I was determined to get back to Epcot for my meet and for my last lobster roll!!!! :rotfl:

What a fun filled last morning! Love your Dismeet picture! :thumbsup2

I agree! Fall is a great time to go, and that is the time we have been the most, so I have to say it will likely remain our favorite too! :thumbsup2

Awww...what a great last day!!! I'm so glad we were able to meet up and spend a few moments together chatting while your DH ran to get Lobster rolls LOL!! Your boys were too cute!! I loved being able to meet them too!!!!!

What a great trip!!

Thank you Jen! I was so happy to catch you ladies there at Epcot, it was fun to chat for a little and I was so excited to hear about your MNSSHP plans... I can't wait to see photos!

You had a full last day! Great pics of the boys in MK! Can't wait till you go back in December so we can read another report!

Denise

Thanks! Yes, we did have full days most days, but it was short, so of course felt too short!
 

We had a great trip of course, and getting home rather late that Tuesday evening we had a whirlwind three day week, before we could even unpack or get settled. So that weekend we cleaned up the travel odds and ends, and I took some photos of my souveniers....

FIRST my shirts from TrenD...

Fall2009010.jpg


I picked these two b/c I wanted a longsleeve T for the fall/winter (and Xmas trip!) and I liked the Mickey Icon in the peace symbol pattern on the red T -- so festive!

Fall2009011.jpg


For the boys, going with the long sleeve T choice, I got the following -- I REALLY loved this one...

Fall2009009.jpg


LAST November, when we went to WDW, I really wanted a Jack Skellington ornament. They were sold out everywhere. SO, this year I managed to get one! :yay:

Fall2009008.jpg


I also wanted to get some other small ornaments to put on my tree, but also those I could PACK with me to bring to Disney in December, since I was bringing a small Christmas Tree....

Fall2009007.jpg


I also got this T for DS4 -- he likes Mr. Potato Head, and he already has the small green alien "eyes" T shirt! ;) Piglet and Pooh approve!

Fall2009013.jpg


THEN I got a picture of our candy bags, before we ate everything in them!! :rolleyes1

Fall2009014.jpg


AND our little "fishy friend" who showed up in our room the first night we were there....

Fall2009012.jpg


Okay... more to include, but dinner calls.... Will post the VERY end, tonight! :thumbsup2
 
What a nice last day. I'm kicking myself for not trying those lobster rolls. (Guess I'll have to go back next year??;))

Love that peace sign shirt. I looked at it, but they didn't carry it in plus sizes.

What a great September trip!
 
Very cute shirts from TrenD. I like them both! Long sleeve shirts for the boys will be perfect for December. Let's hope it's only long sleeve weather.....
Your Jack ornament would be very cute on my red and white tree at home, I'm going to hope for one when we get there in December.

My gosh, they got a lot of candy! How much is left?

I can't believe you are keeping me waiting on the summer information.
You devil you!

I wonder if they make that Mr. Potato head shirt in an adult size, it would be perfect for Fridays at school.......
 
I can't wait to go to TrendD! Very cute stuff.

Love the Mr. Potato head shirt especially.
 
So as I mentioned in the previous post, we got some great souveniers, along with a couple DIS racers, and my DS7 got some legos... well he actually got three sets of lego PEOPLE -- the magnet sets, where you can detatch the figures... we do not need more LEGOs, at least not right now! So instead we got the figures, which is what he really loves most... I have another set I bought secretively, to put in his December trip goodie bag...

I also bought the 4 park 1 world CD... I realize I didn't take a photo of that -- but it is the red 2disc CD, and MAN am I in heaven! DS loves listening to the HM song -- but just not the "hurry back..." at the end of the ride/CD song.... Which makes me laugh! :laughing:

*update* Wait -- here is the photo (I had to go and take a pic of something else, so I got this while I was out there!

IMG_1075.jpg


Oh! AND I bought one last little goofy thing for me ... but I will show you in a photo, b/c that will be better. I will post it at the very end, b/c after I submit this post I will have to go take the photo!! HA! :rotfl:

*update * Silly photo...

IMG_1074.jpg



Lastly I got a few princess knick-knacks for my neighbor's little girl, who is going for the first time after Thanksgiving!

Now RIGHT before we left, DH and I started talking about our final hurrah (well HE thinks it is our final hurrah!) trip to Disney on our APs...

There is ONE resort we have been DYING to stay at... we have a reservation for THIS resort, for...
Check-in Sun June 20th - Check-out Friday June 25th...

Now what we are waiting for is to decide WHERE and WHEN ELSE we are going to stay:

A) the Friday/Saturday BEFORE (so June 18th and 19th)

B) the Friday, Sat, Sunday AFTER.. (so the 25th, 26th, 27th, check out on the 28th....) WHICH is what I would prefer, b/c you can see that we will have secured an extra full day! Our passes EXPIRE on the 29th :laughing:

OR

C) ONE extra day on one weekend, the Saturday, and then TWO extra nights on the other end... Friday and Saturday.... I have not gotten to this decision yet, b/c we only have the one reservation at this point! :laughing:


Either way, this will require plane tickets, and the decision of ANOTHER resort... OR two if we go with option "C"... So guess who will be watching for the june date deals for Disney!! :surfweb:

Now, remember this would be an AP discount, so who knows if they will show up in June or all of June.... :rolleyes:

Now, you must certainly be WONDERING.

WHERE is this reservation???


Take a look...


Can you tell?

IMG_2820-1.jpg


HOW about NOW?

IMG_2820-2.jpg


TA

DA!



IMG_2820.jpg


IT'S the BAY LAKE TOWERS everyone! YES, my dream resort ever since walking into the DVC model on the tour THIS is a big big :cloud9: for me!

WE are THRILLED. NOW we just have to decide on another really fun place to stay, like the AK, Poly, or Coronado... hard to beat the Moderate AP price LET me tell you, or Boardwalk, that is where DH is thinking... but then I would love to end at the Wilderness... I really would like to be at a zero entry pool resort this time, so I am thinking we would pass on the Wilderness... SO here is where the fun begins!!! :yay::yay: MY SPRING FLING PTR! NEVER mind I have a DECEMBER PTR followed by a TR :santa: that I will be attending to! :lmao: Now I am going to have a great deal of fun with this. BUT until I get the dates JUST right, I won't start a PTR, etc. HOWEVER, I know at the very least, I can make ressies for my official trip June 20 - 25th 180 days in advance... :yay: THANK you Disney, for changing that back! This would be on December 22nd. YES. You read that correctly.

DECEMBER 22nd. While. We. Will. Be. In. Disney....

:rotfl: :rotfl:

OR should I say ....

:eek: :eek:

I think it is HIGHlarious... I am gonna have to go to my OWN PTR for my December trip to figure out what I am supposed to be doing, so I can make sure I schedule time for making my ADRs!!!! :lmao:

I find this highly amusing and mildly comical. I can't decide which.

And with THAT, my friends. I will end my TR of September 2009. :wave2:

(wait! -- one LAST photo will be slipped into this entry in the near future... watch for it :magnify:)

Enough said. ;)
 
So are you renting points for BLT? I actually nerd that I was figured it out. I totally know what you mean about a zero entry pool.... and I am pressing for you to add on the front end and maybe just maybe we can be at the same resort!
 
OH WOW, now that's a lot to process at one time!

I think you are a girl with lots of Disney magic heading her way!

Can you believe that we leave on June 11th and you arrive on the 18th, then you leave on the 28th and we arrive back on the 4th of July.....
How can that be?

You might want to consider Beach Club for you last couple of days, the boys would have a blast at SAB.....just in case it's too cold to swim in December.
 
What a nice last day. I'm kicking myself for not trying those lobster rolls. (Guess I'll have to go back next year??;))

Love that peace sign shirt. I looked at it, but they didn't carry it in plus sizes.

What a great September trip!

That is okay, I will forgive you :rotfl:

Yeah, I like it too, I am looking forward to wearing it this fall... Already sported it around some ;)

Very cute shirts from TrenD. I like them both! Long sleeve shirts for the boys will be perfect for December. Let's hope it's only long sleeve weather.....
Your Jack ornament would be very cute on my red and white tree at home, I'm going to hope for one when we get there in December.

You devil you!

I wonder if they make that Mr. Potato head shirt in an adult size, it would be perfect for Fridays at school.......


Okay wait your "red and white" tree? Does that mean you have a "blue and green" tree, too?? :laughing:

They did get a lot, actually -- I can say this b/c once I pulled out all that they could NOT eat -- the starburst kind of stuff (the teeth sticking practically pulling stuff) there was still a whole 8x14" cake pan full of it... ESPECIALLY the chocolate eyes!!! I shoulda taken a photo of those!!!
YUM.

Okay, so summer is revealed now, happy??!! :laughing:

I agree, I would TOTALLY wear that shirt if I taught second graders :lmao:

I can't wait to go to TrendD! Very cute stuff.

Love the Mr. Potato head shirt especially.

You will love it I am sure! :thumbsup2 Yeah, I liked the Mr. Potato head shirt, too :) Not sure why, but the green alien eyes T shirt and Mr. Potato head T shirt BOTH suit DS4 :laughing:

I told ya it would be a big post!!!! :laughing:

I call that "bad luck"!!! :laughing: RATS!!! I think I got that as soon as you mentioned your July dates, though :( I really really know you will love the 4th, though, so I don't feel TOOOOOOO bad knowing you'll be there for that on your Birthday!!!! :thumbsup2 YES, I was thinking that too, BC, but I also want to try as many resorts as I can first hand... But there is time to consider all options after December. I am hopeful it won't be terribly cold.. I don't know about the slides, but I figure 82 degree water is still quite warm!
 
Great report!! And yay for BLT!! I can't wait to read the next installment of your year-long Disney adventure. :cool1:
 
So are you renting points for BLT? I actually nerd that I was figured it out. I totally know what you mean about a zero entry pool.... and I am pressing for you to add on the front end and maybe just maybe we can be at the same resort!


HI!!! YES! We are renting points -- we have had the best luck with this, to be honest, but the rest of the trip we will take advantage of an AP discount... Oohhhh so have you finally got your self a trip and a ticker??!! :laughing: It is POSSIBLE.. not sure quite yet, our problem is that we don't get out of school until the 16th... the end of the year is always so chaotic... BUT the 18th IS my DH's actual BD, so to get a giftcard for his Bday (should they extend the "celebration" year theme) would be an incentive to DH -- you know, ANOTHER way we have saved by getting APs this year :rolleyes: Remember, he is the $8.00 snack credit use guy.... :laughing: It certainly isn't out of the running, though! :)
 
Great report!! And yay for BLT!! I can't wait to read the next installment of your year-long Disney adventure. :cool1:

THANK YOU! Well, it will be on my DECEMBER PTR at this point! I have to hop over to yours, I see you have had some activity and those ADRs are not going to make themselves !!! :laughing:
 
How exciting to be staying at Bay Lake Towers next summer!!! Do you rent from someone on the DIS boards or somewhere else? Do tell me your secret because you seem to have the best luck with renting!

Love all the souvenirs -- especially the Jack ornament, the boys' t-shirts, and your decal! :goodvibes

I think I need to write down your dates so I don't forget them.

HI! No we don't have anyone "special"... I can always PM you my DH's techniques if you want! ;) WE have rented from the Disboard, though, in the past not recently... but we had great results when we did .... Craigs List is a good way...

Yes, I love him too!!! I can't wait to hang him up... I thought the decal was just too perfect. My DH totally rolled his eyes at this one when it suddenly appeared on the car :rolleyes1

I HOPE you write them down... :rolleyes:
 
What a great wrap up!

I have been dying for one of those Mickey Head people for my car. Where did you find her!?! I must buy! :laughing:

My head is spinning with all your plans. Holy Moly! How exciting to be staying at BLT though, that is going to be amazing for you. :banana:

When you get a chance, PM me your DH's technique -- no rush though.

Charles rolled his eyes when I put my "got disney world?" decal on the back of my car. :laughing: It makes me smile everytime I see it though.
