I wouldn't do that now would I :rolleyes:
Well, you gotta a lot of DIS time to make up!!
(Did you find yourself thinking "hey, that would be a funny thing to post".....or "I'll snap that picture to post online...")

I do that a lot......it doesn't mean anything......I'm pretty sure....
 

Hi DM,

Glad to see another installment of your TR when I checked in this morning! Can't wait for more! I'm haunting these TRs in anticipation of our upcoming trip in September and I'm really thinking I have to do a trip report. I was up at 1:30am last night writing the Pre-TR in my head - I'm way too obsessed!!

By the way, I was bummed to see Courtney's TR move to the closed TRS - and I was waiting for the Beach Report! I know you are fairly close to her - do you know if she's posting somewhere else???????? I'm having withdrawal-LOL!

Anyway, can't wait for your next installment. I might as well be in Disney - it's like 96 degrees and feels like 100% humidity here near PHilly - yuck!
 
Alright I checked but I would have never guessed that song for some reason. Although it is a favorite. The new Cd is not coming out until October 2nd. Someone posted August 21st, I know it wasn't you DM. I'm going to have to be sure and get it that morning because we are leaving for Disney very early on the 3rd. Going away for the rest of the weekend so maybe there will be and update when I get back :goodvibes .I think everyone should post there before I had kids pics :laughing: . mine make me want to cry :sad1: even though I would not change my life for the world. it's only 15 lbs. different but DS just did a number on me ;) .
I don't remember who posted when it was coming out. I'm not one of those people who run out to buy things when they first come out...or see movies. I'm more laid back than to do that. But I will be buying the CD for sure. I'm a lot heavier than before kids and my tummy leaves something to be desired after 3 c-sections...

:rotfl2: Didn't you say once that you were half Canadian?? :rolleyes1
Nope! I'm not half Canadian. I just live in NY and have been to Canada many many times. It's not a very far drive either to the north near the Thousand Islands or to the West at Niagara Falls. We were thinking about going to Toronto in October so the kids could go up in the CN Tower. I think that is so cool to stand on the glass floor. But we decided against going. Oh well.

beautiful pictures of POR
Thank you!!
 
Good thinking :thumbsup2

Oooh I want one of them, were they easy to find?

Great snack credit :thumbsup2

Love the photos :goodvibes
The Mickey card holder was very easy to find. It was hanging on the wall in the gift shop. You just need to know what you are looking for. I'll take a picture of it either today or tomorrow and post it for you.

Just thought I'd say I'm back home :)
Not that I'm trying to up my post count or anything :rotfl2:
I wouldn't do that now would I :rolleyes:
I would never think you would just post to up your post count. No you! :rolleyes1

I have thought many times in the middle of the night what I want to write in my TR. I smile to myself thinking that what a great ideat and how funny am I. Then, do you think I can remember all the witty things when morning comes? :confused3

I spoke with Courtney and I told her to start another thread on the CB for everyone who wants to join her over there. I'm sure she will have a lot of followers.

It's 96 in Philly? It's cooled down in the 80s finally here in NY. We turned off our AC and have all the windows open to air out our place. It's nice.

Sunday, June 24....Port Orleans Riverside
Dinner and some shopping...



Hopes:
1. A better day with PhotoPass...:tilt:
2. A wonderful meet with Courtney...:goodvibes
3. No blisters on my feet...today was my Crocs Ithaca day...:yay:
4. A meeting with the Dream Team...:worried:


Wants:
1. Ride Splash Mountain with Courtney & Ryan ...
2. A good lunch at Crystal Palace with good character interaction...pooh: :tigger: :eeyore:
3. Have a good rest at the resort in the afternoon...::yes::
4. Return to Magic Kingdom in evening for dinner and Wishes...:sad2: :o


It was nearing 4:30 pm and we all were starting to get hungry. We wanted to eat here and
then hop a bus back to the Magic Kingdom for more fun! Brookie was still napping so Rob &
I decided to split up and each go to Riverside Mill to get counter service meals. I went first
with Alec. We walked over there together and I chose the burger basket with fries and a
chocolate cake for dessert. They had to specially make my burger because I do not like cheese
on it. Hey, better freshly made! Alec chose the kids chicken nuggets meal. We carried it all
back to our room on a tray so Rob could quickly go with Evan.

I remembered to take a picture of my dessert...after a couple bites, that is!

As Alec & I were eating, we heard some very loud thunder and WHAM! A lovely Florida
thunderstorm had rolled in but fast. It was raining extremely hard and I knew Rob would be
trapped at Riverside Mill. I was glad I went first. I went to call Rob and then I heard his phone
going off in the room. Darn him! He never takes his stupid cell! What good is it in the room?
Plus I don't even like his ring tone. It's the group Rush. I liked them back in the early 80s but
not now. Whatever, it's his and I guess he gets to choose his. Can anyone guess who I have
on my ringtone? Name the artist and the song...

I tried to take some pics of the rain storm but they didn’t come out as well as I had hoped.
But here they are anyway...

The storm lasted quite a while. Brookie had woken up but was not hungry, per usual. Rob
called me from a house phone (at least he was thinking there :rolleyes: ) and said that they were
finishing up their meals and when the rain cleared they would be back. Sure enough, they
came back about 5:30 pm.

What did we want to do now? We talked about our options. We could still hear thunder so
we didn’t know if we wanted to go back to the Magic Kingdom. We knew we had to get up
extra early on Monday to make an 8 am ADR at Donald’s Breakfastosaurus. So, we decided
to take our trays back to Riverside Mill and go to the gift shop. On the way I snapped a few
more pictures.

Here’s Alec holding the tray over his head and Rob carrying Brookie...

Looking down the river toward the Alligator Bayou section...

So, we get into the gift shop and it’s pure gloriousness (love my word?). Oh, didn’t the kids
want to buy things there! Plus, at this point I was tired of asking Rob for the KTTW cards
whenever we needed to do FPs or use for dining, etc. I wanted to have them handy for me.
So I hunted around the gift shop for something I could attach to my Team Focker Watch
lanyard. I found a plastic card holder that attached to a Mickey clip. It cost $5.50. Sold!

The boys each wanted a toy monorail and a mini light-up laser sword. Brookie wanted a
light-up laser sword and one of the light-up spin toys. Plus I got her 3 pairs of pink Mickey
earrings.

So, where do we want to go to next? We all decided to use a snack credit and get us some
ice cream! Rob & the boys got milk shakes and I got a double scoop of black raspberry ice
cream which I shared with Brooke. Now, you’re probably wondering, “Is that what that poor
girl had for dinner?” Well, kinda. We did give her some yogurt and grapes back in the room
too if that makes you feel any better. She is just not a huge eater if she has already had one
large meal. Remember Crystal Palace? She ate very well there!

We slowly strolled back to our room. Here’s a couple of more pictures that I took.

Heading back along the path...

This is where we turned to go to our building. I liked the sign and that’s Alec in the picture
on the right and Brookie way ahead. The path to the right of Brookie is where we turned to
enter our building coming from Riverside Mill.

And finally, a closer look at our building as the boys were heading back to the room. Our
room was a couple doors to the left of the picture.

We all washed up and relaxed and went to sleep very early as we had to get up very early!
Even though we didn't get back to the Magic Kingdom we really weren't too upset about this.
We knew we were going back on Friday.

We were wondering around POR this day too but it must have been while you were at MK. :thumbsup2 I dont remember the rain and we left on the ME around noon. Isnt the place just loverly? I love your room. I wish we had first floor but our stay was nice too. :goodvibes

My girls eat one good meal a day and its tough to get them to eat healthy stuff the rest of the day....they would love if I gave them junk food like at Disney!!! :laughing:
:rolleyes1 Course now that I saw the yummy piece of cake, I have DD9 making a cake for dessert tonight....but only if we eat our veggys!!!! :rolleyes:

Gee, sorry about not getting to return to MK but you probably could have used the rest time and its so much fun to be at POR resort. Is that gift shop wonderful or what? I could have spent hundreds in there!
 
Ok time to get out of the "all the rest" club. Your pics of POR r beautiful. i never walked over to AB while I was there. Enjoying the report and I will try to come out more and speak up.

:thumbsup2
 
Well, you gotta a lot of DIS time to make up!!
(Did you find yourself thinking "hey, that would be a funny thing to post".....or "I'll snap that picture to post online...")

I do that a lot......it doesn't mean anything......I'm pretty sure....
I think I'm finally nearly caught up it's only taken me about 5 hours :rotfl2:

The Mickey card holder was very easy to find. It was hanging on the wall in the gift shop. You just need to know what you are looking for. I'll take a picture of it either today or tomorrow and post it for you.
Oooh I'll keep an eye out :goodvibes

I would never think you would just post to up your post count. No you! :rolleyes1
I knew you wouldn't think that :rotfl2:
 
So sorry to be obtuse here, but what is the "CB" and how do I get there??? I thought for a couple of minutes (but then my head started to hurt :laughing:). I want to join! Also, I tried to do the "quote" thing, but can't figure that out either. Geeze. Can you tell I'm new here (I know it says I've been a member since 1994, but I've only lurked around occassionally til now)? Thanks!
