Oh my gosh, we did some of the same musicals! I was a featured dancer my freshman year in "The Music Man." I was a Shark (Puerto Rican) girl in "West Side Story" my sophmore year. We did "42nd Street" my junior year and I was Lorraine Flemming (one of the lead dancers; I had 11 lines!). That was my FAV musical of all time! Plus, the adult tap class I'm in this year is dancing to the song "42nd Street." The, we did "Grease" my senior year and I was Cha-Cha DeGregorio.

Hi Becky....

Glad you found some time to get started....

sorry about your friend, glad you can be a comfort to her

and good luck w/ VBS...what fun! I have taught that 2 times at our church too, so I know how much work it can be!

I love the begiining of the report...and your title is priceless...I am so sorry it was wet, wet, wet down there....hope it didn't spoil too many plans.

YIKES on the airport delays....I would have totally been freaking out, glad you got on the plan safe and sound and were on your way.

That DME line was huge...and I remember the squirmy toddler on that bus too...Margaret was better this March at 28 mo, but last June at 18 mo wasn't fun!

Great Welcome sign picture and love all the first views of the POLY, brought me chills and great memories of our stay last yr.

you got your request and your room was ready...nice pool view too.

Don't you just love the rooms...so big and spacious! The girls look like they are loving it too and what a sweet surprise from your TA!

Oh BTW...the castle pic of your family is so wonderful!

Looks like you guys had a wonderful 1st day w/ alittle shopping at DTD and I love the pic of Ally by the Cinderella Statue...too cute!

Fireworks from the beach, dismeet and the EWP...what a great first night at Disney....you look fine...no great in those pictures!

Question...are you sporting a Vera Bradley Hipster bag?

what did you think for trip usuage and effectiveness? I have a VB backsack and am thinking of getting a hipster just to have but moatly for next yrs Diz trip. let me know.

thanks and looking forward to more.

MagicShell · 06-05-2009, 11:36 AM

I saw a post from you on another report and loved your picture in your signature line, so I clicked on your report. Ally looks like she enjoys getting her picture made, and she is so cute. (So is Claire) I live about 30 minutes from Memphis in North MS.

I know what you mean about people saying that your child won't remember the trip. So what? I will. DW memories are some of the best memories I have of my kids. And, like you said, we have been more than once and I hope to continue to go. Some people think DW is a one time trip. They just don't get it I guess.

Oh--ok!! How cool! We went to a Gaither Vocal Band concert a few months back and it was INCREDIBLE!!! I have pics on my PTR!

It's funny reading reports from the same time - I read and then try to figure out where we were at the same time (since we were at the Poly all day on Saturday). We probably just missed seeing you in the lobby because we ate at Kona at 12:30 that day for lunch and then Shawn was in the quiet pool that afternoon. Too funny!

Your room looks fabulous and it really makes me miss the Poly so badly!

(I have to pull up Tikiman's site every once in a while even though I don't have a trip in the works,and listen to the music....

).

It was great meeting up with you on the beach that night! The girls were so excited, and it made me miss my kids even more....(that last day was the day I missed them the most). I can't wait to bring them back down there and (hopefully) get to stay at the Poly again!

Great updates...looking foward to more!

Sara

Yeah--you would have heard us in the lobby if you were there the same time! Claire was sooo loud!!

I know!! I'm missing the Poly, too!! We'll just have to go back. We never had a chance to swim in either of the pools due to the rain.

It was great meeting you, too!! That was a lot of fun!

Thanks Meghan!!

princess&her4princes · 06-05-2009, 01:25 PM

Becky,
I just saw Ally's dance pics! They are SO CUTE!!!

I took Ballet for 11 years and just loved it..sadly, no dance going on here...with three little boys...oh well, maybe I'll have granddaughters someday and trust me, I'm not rushing that at all!!

I can wait! In the meantime, I'll just live vicariously through you!! LOL!!

Yes, I LOVED 42nd Street!! I was Phyllis Dale and I just loved all of the tap dancing! My high school did Grease the year after I graduated. I went back to see it because my brother was in it!

Hi!! I'm so glad you made it over!! Thank you for all of your kind words! Yes, I am sporting a VB Hipster!! It was wonderful! Just enough room for what I needed plus it let me be hands-free! Everything was easily accessible! I didn't want to bring my backpack b/c I knew it would make my back sweat.

Hi and welcome!!

You live very close to us!! Do you live in Olive Branch? Southaven?

Exactly! And we have pictures she can look back on. LOTS of people think Disney is a 1 time trip--my parents did unfortunately. I would LOVE to go back next year and I think my friends think I'm crazy!

tinkgurl · 06-05-2009, 02:51 PM

Aw, your girls are adorable!

How did you keep them busy on the plane ride?

Yay for getting a front row seat on the bus!

I love arriving at the Resort. The Poly is beautiful, isn't it?! That's so great you got the building you wanted!

So cool you had a DIS meet!

The girls look so precious sleeping!

WillowBelle · 06-05-2009, 03:43 PM

Stopping by to read about your trip. I live in TN as well. We live in middle TN, about an hour South of Nashville.

You have a beautiful family. I love the hair ribbons...do you sell on ebay?? Also the outfits are so cute on the girls...does she sell on ebay? What travel agency do you go through? Sorry about all the questions...if you answered these aready I must have miss it somehow. The Poly looks wonderful...reminds me of Hawaii (another place I love to go to). Looking forward to more...
