Oh, you should have taken a picture of the baby gator. My girls loved seeing the picture of the Armadillo. Now, next time we return they are going to be on the hunt for Armadillos and gators!

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

I had the shrimp and they were really good. The kids had the flat bread pizza and asked for more...and those zebra domes...OMG! Those are so good. The bakery in Norway has some yummy alcoholic "coffee" beverages. I had two different kinds and both were good. I don't know what they were called though.

Thanks for joining! More coming soon, promise. I'm still adding pics from the kids camera to photobucket and we have a good bit of video to uploade as well.

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 .

I'll do that in just a few. Well I'm crossing my fingers for a code then. Hold on a sec...we had discounts in the room on this past trip. You didn't have the clock promo thing? It was 30% off but that's not bad. I wonder if they'd still let you do it since we just got home? I brought one home. I have the code if you want to try.

The second half of the trip I didn't even wear makeup. As much as it was raining what was the point? I'd have black mascara running down my face all the time.

Thanks. This one will be different than the ones you've read before. At least I think it is.

Mine was. Farrah got a 40% off code.

Um, heck yea!!!!! I think a group PTR would be so much fun!!

Ya think? Ya'll want me to start it? It'd give us one place to hang out.

Probably. What are you going to do with everything?

I should have but it was outside and it was pouring down rain so hard! That's probably what ran them out of their nests. Those Armadillos are everywhere. I would see them along the road side every day. Ft Wilderness is full of them too!

I used to collect them too and I ran out of room. I have some cute ones. You should see the book end snow globes I recently bought. They were like 75% off and they're so cute! If I see a good deal I'll tell ya about it. I think Becky is another week unless she recently changed something. Maybe Alicia will be there at the same time as us? We leave on September 5th. Amanda is going at the same time and probably Colleen. Jen in NY mentioned it but never told me for sure. I need to email her. We're going to the Mountains sometime this month (or either in July). Ya'll should come with.

Hey girl! I finally got started on my TR. The link is in my siggy. Lovin' your report. I need to get to bed...6:30am is just around the corner.

[giggleme]

Hi Tammy,
I literally stumbled onto your Trip report, btw LOVED what I've read so far! Anyway, we were at Disney the same time As a matter of fact, we stayed in ASSP, in Hoops, we were on the first floor, more or less towards the front, no swamp for us. However, we did eventually have a swamp on the grass b/c of all the rain My boys, would have ADORED the baby gator, probably would have invited him into our room :/

Nice to meet you

Jenny

[tammyandtommy]

OK OK now im watching two of your reports, Im feeling like a stalker!!

[heathere3]

I'm in. I'm in serious need of a Disney fix before our trip in September. We'll be back at Pop, but I have to say, I love the theming in your photos of ASSp. We had very little at Pop and that was about my only disappointment with it. As vacations go, I can certainly live with that!

Heather

[Cinderelly5507]

I'm here! Can't wait to read more about your suprise trip! I totally think you guys should do a group PTR--you'd all be a riot! I'd live through it, since DH will never take me to Disney at that time--it's too close to hunting season! Stupid men!

Hey! I went over last night. Looking good! I wish we could have hung out more though. And I know the girls would have liked that. I'm still mad at myself for not taking pictures.

Really!? Did you see us? You might be in the background of some of my pics. Wouldn't that be something? Me and Gabby went out and did resort pics one morning. You'll be able to show me where you were. We were on the football field. Even that flooded out a couple of times. That rain was terrible. Thanks for dropping by. I hope you'll stick with me through the whole thing. I'll have a new update tonight. I had to load in more pictures...

Oh hush. I'm glad you've joined both! Feel free to go back and look at the old ones too. They're all different. This is the first time I ever had two going at once though. Luckily I'm almost done with the March one.

What are your dates in September? I am counting down the minutes 'til my next trip. I can't wait! I wish the Pop rooms were a little more themed too but the resort overall I like a whole lot better than the All Stars. I take it you guys are doing free dining?

Hey you! I have the song Permanent Vacation stuck in my head. Heard it on the way to WDW and now I need to hear the song daily! Only problem...the one I have is vinyl! (And I don't have a record player) I think we are...a group ptr for both August and December since it's big groups both times. YOU could go without him! It's not like you wouldn't have friends to hang out with!

[MiaBella05]

count me in, i can't wait to read all about your trip!

[OneTreeHillAddict]

We woke up kind of early and had some cereal in the room. Normally we'd eat at Tusker House or O'Hana for breakfast but this was the "do it as cheap as you can getaway". Plus the FOOD trip is in August/September.
Cereal in the room works out just fine and it really saved a ton of money! I walked downstairs and took a couple of reosrt pictures before we headed out. The sky was overcast but there was no rain. This was nice because it made the temperatures way lower than they normally would be this time of year.


Here are some pics we took of the resort on the way out. My favorite sections were the football and baseball areas. We were close to the front up by the food court on the second floor. I loved the location of our second room. It took about a minute to get to the food court! Perfect. We never used the pools though at ASSP.






I like these pics...I think they're cute. There are cute photo ops at all of the Disney resorts. You could spend a whole day going from resort to resort just to take pictures! One day I'd like to do that.



































The kids had fun taking pics over here. By the way this resort was nearly empty until the weekend. Then you started to see some people come in. It never got real busy though. At least it didn't seem like it to me. The parks on the other hand...completely different story! Saturday and Sunday they were slammed. Probably locals coming in for SWW and all that since school was out on Monday.











After exploring a little we headed to our truck and went over to Epcot. I could not wait to see all the Flower and Garden festivities. They started to put things out when we left in March. (We missed the start of F & G by a few days) I was so happy to get back and see everything! Up next we explore Ecpot!


*I'll start the next post now but there is a bad electrical storm coming up so I may not be back to post it until later tonight...there will be another update tonight though! I promise!

[jordanyosh]

I can't believe how empty the resort looks!

[WrightFamily06]
