Hello...ladies first! LOL Colleen we have less than 90 days now!!! Can you believe it? I am super excited about this trip. I'm going to Home Depot in a bit to get some Mickey Heads to do a countdown....

Yep. I still have some pictures to load in but I am ready to get it going...the rain and all. I'm bringing it. I see Swan and Dolphin are running a $119 special. How'd you like the resort? Was it nice and comfy?

My thing was....if there's a baby gator here mama gator won't be too far behind! I wish I had taken a picture of the swamp for ya'll to see. It was raining gators and turtles that day though and I didn't want to pull the camera out in the wetness. I can't believe they had rooms facing such a thing. My gosh. It was in a HOLE!

I definitely wouldve gotten away from that gator to especially in the rain!

I think the rain had a lot to do with why they were out. But still...that's kind of scary. I think those are the cleanest and cutest bathroooms I have ever seen on an interstate anywhere!

I know. And boy was it a sign of things to come! Who needs water parks with all that going on? I packed a lot of extra clothes and we went through them all! I remember at Epcot one day I saw so many adult women walking around in their bikini tops...evidently they ran out of clothing too. I didn't think that was allowed. Once Gabby went in in her swimsuit top and shorts and they said something to me about it. I thought they were kidding but he said that was a park rule???

Love the intro , great details about your past trips

Love the update , great pictures of the trip there and it's awesome how you surprised the kiddos , soo cute how they already had things picked out to do in Atlanta ! LOL

I can't believe they put you out in the middle of no where at All Star Sports and you saw a gator scary , I would have requested another room also !
Can't wait to see more !

It was a great surprise and I can't believe we kept it up for so long. It was so hard not to tell them.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to stay back there in any resort. It was horrible. The rain was so bad you had flooding right outside the door too. The football room as much nicer.

Heck yeah you do. It was so much fun meeting you guys and Gabby wont stop gabbing about your DD. Those two really hit it off. Is your PTR going to be your TR now?

We drive 15 hours to WDW each time we go and I know all about the rain, and wrecks...scary stuff.

We stayed at sports in 2001, my very first trip to the world..I actually thought it was great, however I had never stayed anywhere else so I had nothing to compair it to. THEn in 2003 we stayed at CSR and I hated it because we were in Ranchos and I felt very far away from everything..plus the theaming sucked. I am happy though that we will try CSR again this year in a closer building, and the room renovations are definitly a big plus.

Sounds like a plan. You'll love the CSR pics! You guys are going to like that room. I'm so glad you changed your minds about staying. How much did the room end up per night? We paid $98 per night but this was "peak" season so your deal should have been way better. With that pin they were telling me $49.20 on the values so I'm thinking $70's for a mod. (or $80's) I think I'm gonna axe my PTR's and do a group one for August. Would you girls like to get together and do a one for all PTR for Nov/Dec? I think it would be fun to do one together since we're all going at the same time. LMK Oh, is Alicia going at the same time?

I have never seen all star sports room before.. It looked really nice.
Scary about the gator... I would have screamed and ran back to the car ...
Can't wait to read more..

Hey Amanda! Glad you made it over! The ASSp rooms are pretty. I wish they were that cute at Pop. I still like Pop better. It's in a better location....better pools...nicer food court. Hopefully they'll start refurbing their rooms before too long. They're starting to wear out a little. No way were we going to stay back there in gator alley! The rain must bring them out!

I stayed there in 2005 and they were in desperate need of an overhaul. They did a good job cleaning them up! I thought ASMo was pretty good (except I'm not a big AllStars fan now either) but ASSp looks alot better. Hope the rain stops for you guys so you can get SOME dry weather for a park!

We were sneaky about that one. The new AS rooms are cute. I'll give them that. They left the bathrooms the same though. Ew. I still like Pop better out of the values. Who cares though..you are going to the AKV! Woo Hoo!

Your kids are cuties. Aww thanks.

You are a fantastic photographer! Thanks again! You're so sweet.

I wish I lived in Myrtle Beach, we love vacationing there. Our last trip was in May 08. We loved it! Up until I burned myself on the last day...ouch!
Margarittaville is a must for us.
Next trip I will look at staying at the place you had your DS's birthday at, looked like a very fun place. Oh yeah...that place is a gem. You'd enjoy it. In the off season it's really cheap too.

I think it's cool you home school your kids, I don't think I would be very good at it. I used to say that too. I think SC teaching degrees come in cracker jack boxes nowadays judging from the public school teachers...I'm much better suited. I will say that. Half of them don't know don't know up from down.

You are the luckiest family to get to visit WDW so much. I am jealous!

Can't wait to see the trip unfold. Too bad you had so much rain....

Annual passes make all the difference in the World. You get room discounts and ya don't have to buy tickets every time. I love it.

I will. We were there for 6 and had 6 days of rain...LOL It was so nice and wet! Still would have liked to have met you guys! I got three Dismeets in this time.

[heath-and-javens-mom]

I havent actually done the math..I just know its 40 percent off the room rate for that time period.
That sounds good to me..a group PTR=awsome.

[thelittlemermaid83]

Woah! a room with baby gators outside, i would of flipped aswell. Glad you managed to get a new room.

[wdwgirl03]

ANOTHER trip report, I am in!

[meanmom121]

40% is a great deal any way you look at it! Okay...let's get one started. I need to ask Heather and Amanda if they wanna do it, I don't see why they wouldn't. And what abou Alicia? She coming? Jen I have not heard back from yet. Goofy22 (Colleen) may be going again at the same time. Let me know if there's anyone else. K?

They really didn't have a choice! No way were we staying by the gator hole. LOL

That CS at AKL was better than some of the TS meals I've had at WDW! I had some yummy drinks this past trip. I will be sharing.

Uh oh! Not good. So she's all better now then? She may have had caught the swine flu. Okay that's not funny. Oink.

It's some kind of alcoholic beverage cooler. It was broken so the rest threw it out and we salvaged it. Man it is cold now! We use it at WDW when we stay in the values.

Hey Mary!!! Well, we tried. And we did have that 45 seconds of hellos. (Your kiddos are precious) I so wanted to come see your room and let the kids hang out. Every time we planned anything we'd get a down pour. Can you believe how much it rained? My goodness. I didn't think it was possible! I thought that night you guys were at Le Cellier you'd show up together. I'm still glad we met. Even if our plans fell through. Coming over to your TR in a few....

Oh, I can't wait to tell Charles about the CS at AKL -- he will be excited!

I am always up for new drink suggestions! The beauty of Disney transportation allowing me to indulge!

[H20DogsNDisney]

Great Start to the tr. can't wait for more

[tinkgurl]

Im here!

[kaysmommie]

Hi Tammy,
I'll send you those pics. PM me your email, I think I gave you mine if you have just email me. You know I would love to go in December but I seriously doubt we will be able to with Tom's job being slow right now. Also my dad is sick . Who knows maybe I will need to get away by then. Wish they sent me a 40% off code.

Anyway what do you mean human sized?? Really you are wayyy too hard on yourself. Congrats on the 7 lbs that is great! Wish we did take a picture but after walking in the rain half the day and then getting rained on again on TT .

[lovegrumpy]

Yes another one. I love reading your reports. Your kids are so cute.
