Love the pics from the seeds tour. I think we will do that next year. So is Lilo only there at breakfast? DD loves her... Z looks like he had a great time! Can't wait for the bonus pics!

We enjoy dropping in at Casey's- mainly because we like to sit in the side room on those little bleachers watching the old cartoons! :heart: I think Z thought Cinderella looked odd because it almost looks like her wig is slipping. She needs to fix her bangs or something. Aren't they testing some kind of FP thing where you can sign up for lunch at BoG?

What a great day so far! I truly enjoy the days when we only have a couple of things planned and we can just kind of "see what happens". Can't wait to hear about Be Our Guest - was thinking of doing that one for lunch on our next trip... Belle is DD's all time favorite princess.

Thanks for the great pics! Deluxe cabana looks oh-so-fancy! Mom question- so if you are sitting in a chair on the beach can you still keep an eye on the kiddos? Or do you have to sit closer?

Great pics of new fantasyland! I am trying not to look too closely so I can be surprised next year... We were at DTD the 3rd and it poured! So I am sure you took umbrellas evrywhere. We also take a small umbrella to the parks for "portable shade" for DD. Thanks for all the pics!

Can't believe that lady wanted to cut in front of you and then hold up a freakin' clipboard to take pictures with. People never cease to amaze me... Enjoyed the ride pictures! Buzz is one of DD's favorites. I will definitely have to pick your brain about secret pathways and exits for our next trip. Glad to hear all is going well with your dissertation!

That might be the cutest dang thing I have seen in a long time! Go Z!

We stayed in the 2100 loop and found it to be extremely convenient to most everything. Our cabin was on the inside, near the front, so our walk over to the internal bus stop was like 2 minutes. You could also cut over to the 1100 loop where they camp like for-real campers. Although I think it is the closest one to the main pool, it is a good walk. Not terrible, just more than I like to do on vacation. :wave1: Golf carts are nice to have, but not necessary. Do you bike? Bringing bikes is a nice alternative to renting a cart or depending on the internal buses to get around and/or explore.

That is so precious! My money is on the redhead.

Thanks for all the great pics! I am with CP - always go with the boat. You have some really great views from your building! How cool! And, I have to ask, did you do CoP because CP needed a break? Or you needed a nap? :laugh: I totally forgot - what were the dates of your trip?

Cute pics!!! I think I really have to try O'Hana next time we go. It really does look yummy. Maybe lunch one day... I like how your mom sensed your need for a drink. Big thumbs-up for you on letting Z bail with grace. It's so hard when they do that, but you handled it so well! I wonder if you are doing the same program a friend of mine did - she had to go to Florida every so often for things like that.

Thanks for the update! I know they are a lot of work. Princess pictures are cute! Z definitely enjoys the ladies... That is so cool that Z enjoyed the kids club, and you got some pics!! I am planning to drop DD at one next year when we stay at WL, so it is good to know he had fun! I think we often forget that as much as we need a break, they need one too. :waycool: DD hasn't ridden Soarin yet - we are going to give it a try next summer. How are they strapped in that makes so many afraid they will fall out? I'll probably have my "mom arm" out too!

That is so funny how all that happened and they freaked out. The DID realize they were OUTSIDE, right? And there were trees around? Those pool pics are GREAT - esp like the underwater one!

Great character meets at CM&M! We have found you can see a lot of them there for very short waits. Thanks for the Tusker House review. I've always wondered whether or not we should try it. I didn't realize they did a character lunch there. I thought it was just breakfast!!! And did you say FREE?! Can't wait to hear about it! Thanks for the update!

Fun stuff! Poor Z - didn't want to get wet! I am on team "who cares just get wet". But I usually dress to get wet. Board (quickly drying) shorts, sports bra, etc. I am a fan of my Teva Kirra's too because I really do LOATHE wearing wet tennis shoes. I am also anti-poncho, though. The last thing I want to do when I'm hot is wrap myself in plastic. I know, I'm the oddball here. Great pics! And yes, your blurry IS cute! Don't you hate it when those super-cute ones are fuzzy? Can't wait to hear what the surprise for the grandmas is!!!
