I love the Animation building! We didn't stop to see any characters this trip because we were...correction, I was in psycho commando trip mode but in Nov/Dec I need some character pictures! I love the ones of Bolt with Sorcerer Mickey, the interaction looks so cute.

That work room looks like a ton of fun! Too bad everythings done my computer nowadays!

Great update! We'll definately have to check out the animation building when we go. I'm excited for the Princess and the Frog and TS3!!!!!! P and the Frog comes out on DD birthday and Toy Story is my favorite!

Hello everyone!

I have a couple of minutes..wanted to answer back any questions as fast as I could. I'm so sorry to be MIA but I really need to get this one all done since we leave in a couple of weeks. So...

Chas Princess ~ what did they have in the WOL when ya went in '04? I keep thinbking that's the year we took my sisters ex *** of a bf and they still had Body Wars and all but we did n't go in. (That I remember anyway)

Character Fan ~ Who the heck sponsors the Imagination pavilion!? Isn't it Kodak? They seriously need to update, huh?

WDWGirl03 ~ I remember all that cool stuff from my Disneymoon a million years ago. It was neat. I miss that.

eandesmom ~ Cool new siggy!

nu2 ~ Normally I am good about keeping up and reading friends TR's but this Summer I have been a bad girl....can't wait to meet ya'll. Just a few more weeks!!! Pool party! Heck yeah!!!

kays ~ our girls are going through the same things...ya know it? At least we have a few more years before they start dating.

xoktenox ~ Girl...you missed a lot. Next trip you need to tour with me! I'm fast and rarely miss a thing!

EVERYONE ~ Yes that golf course was way hard! Winter Summerland is a lot easier! Yes we do have some kick *** courses here! I will admit to that. And Kristen...to get to Winter Summerland you take the Blizzard Beach bus! wdwgirl...what balls did you get? Heather ~ how the heck did I lose those balls!? Who knows! Don't hand me over anything for safe keeping. LMAO

Rinky ~ We did Fantasmic in March. They had two shows. We went to the second show. The place was borderline empty but all of WDW was super slow that week! We went in right before the show and went to the front row. Best show ever! Now I'm good for a while. lol

Wright Fam ~ Our families are too big to go to the movies all the time....that's a good $100 out if you pay and get popcorn and drinks! Rather save that $ FOR wdw! Videos are mine to keep at least!

Mr Incredible...HA HA HA! That was so funny. Those kids had me LOL! I wish I could have seen Mr I's real face! LMAO

Ladybug ~ How did you miss the Animation stuff!? Okay girl next time YOU tour with us too!

tractor ~ WELCOME!!! Thanks for joining the TR! The last two times we went it was pretty empty! Nice if you ask me.

Phew. That didn't take me too long. Again THANKS everyone for sticking with me. I'm trying to hurry. I have PTR stuff I need to do too. I suck! I used to be such a good Diser and now I can't keep up with anything! Ugh!

I do have QUESTIONS for ya'll. I know you guys are super duper busy too with Summer fun and all but I really want to know who all is joining the next two Dismeets with us.

Dates for Dismeet one are:

August 22nd through September 5th

Holiday Meet

November 29th through Dec 10th

...and I have to know IS EVERYONE HAVING A GREAT SUMMER OR WHAT!?

Kodak sponcers Imagination but it needs some updating for sure.

We're going to be in Disney from Aug 27-30 Pop-Prefered. And because DFi has to take 3 unpaid vacation days because of furlos (sp) We're going to Pixilmania Dec 3-6. We haven't booked a room for Dec yet. Waiting to see if the Disa Visa rumor pans out. We've been wanting to try the QS dining plan and being able to do that at Pop would be really cool. Maybe I'll even stay a few days after DFi has to go back to work. I saw you're staying at AKL for a couple of nights in Dec how awesome. I want to stay there someday.

Okay I've rambled enough.

They had Body Wars and the Making of Me film because we did both of those -- I don't know if there was anything else in there at the time.

Sadly, I won't be at either of the DIS meets .

Poor Mr. Incredible. Sounds like those kids did not have enough adult caretakers.

Leaving on another trip soon. Wow, you are one blessed person.

Hey girl! Great pics of the animation studio. Your trip report is great.

This summer has been so busy but super fun. In addition to typical summer fun, all the birthdays, anniversaries, etc happen over summer too so I have no idea which way is up most of the time.

Hope you're having a fantastic summer. We're trying to work out a quick December trip but it would probably be later in December. Wish we could meet up again though cause Lindsey loves Gabby-Josie and Bolt did well together too.

Here are the golf balls we got. We got ones with Stitch! It was a great souvenir because my dad loves golf and he's got a pretty good sized collection of golf balls (including ones for all of the Disney courses and lots of Disney characters!).



As for the DIS meet obviously we get there a couple days before most of the other Aug. people and leave a little earlier. Do you have any plans as of yet? I know in my PTR Colleen and I were talking about maybe doing something the 24th since it's our last day...any interest in that? Even though it's our last day I'm game for anything so if you've got any ideas let me know!

Summer's going good, I've been working a little and just enjoying stuff around the city. Today we're going to a fair and seeing David Cook; Saturday we're going to the Brewers game!

You are totally right our families are to big to be going to the movies all the time ! Much cheaper to buy the DVD and then you get to keep it forever ! We do however have a little secret weapon when it comes to going to the movies , the base movie theater . It's only $1 for adults and nothing for kids under 5 or 6 I think it is but they don't always have the movie you want to see and it may be a while after the actual movie comes out that we can see it .


Dismeets in Aug. and Dec can I fit in your suitcase ?

Summer has been very boring The trip back home was fun and then it was back to the boring little military town we call home for now ! LOL

Got a new camera by the way Went with the Nikon CoolPix L20 , works well so far but have only had it for less than a day so we shall see what the future holds .

A lil bitty update...

After our little visit to the Animation building we went over to see more of those Star Wars characters. Those guys were neat! They were all over the place! I took some pictures on the way over. This is one is from the shop right outside of the Animation entrance. I thought the Up! film strip was really cute.



Looking over at my least favorite place to hang in DHS...well, other than that Drew Carey thing. WHY is that still there!? Ick.



We walk past TSM and right before we get to the Backlot ride we see this fella.



I don't know who he is but Dash enjoyed his company!







More of these guys....



Stormtroopers EVERYWHERE!





Now this is a FUNNNY picture! These people look like they're getting attacked and the CM photopass guy is just there like OMG!



More coming soon. Just wanted to give ya'll something new to look at/ Going to go make some plans...

I'm going to be at Disney just inbetween your Dismeets unfortunately! We are having a decent summer - cool though and I'm not a big fan of that - we have enough cool and cold the rest of the year.

I like the characters in your latest update - that would be fun to see all those extra characters roaming around.

Oooh--LOVE your SWW pics!! You don't like Playhouse Disney?! It was a highlight for my girlies!! Hee hee!!

What are we up to? Well, we just finished getting all of Ally's school supplies. She starts Kindergarten August 10th. Today was Claire's last day of summer session MDO. I enrolled her for Tues/Thurs. throughout the summer so Ally and I could have some together time before she starts school. Next Saturday (Aug. 1st) I'll be turning the big 30! Uggh! Then August 4th we register for school--Ally will find out who her teacher will be--there are 7 Kindergarten teachers--2 of which go to our church. I used to teach K so I'm praying she gets a good teacher. Then that evening we're going to see The Wiggles! The girls can't wait!! Anywho, we're staying busy!!

Looking forward to reading more!!
