I didn't pay attention to how far behind on quotes I was, yikes!
Love the PM and 7DMT for different reasons but both are must do every trip
Glad you got to see the Country Bears
I was really glad my mom was a good sport about the rides and ended up loving them - I think the People Mover was a big winner, and I was shocked she liked 7DMT!
I think I might have been a Country Bear in a past life
More great PP pics! I'm sorry about your sunglasses, that stinks! But I actually like the new ones you picked!
Selfies with the country bears, ahhh how awesome!!
I was so distraught over those darn sunglasses! I still get annoyed when I think about them, LOL!
I couldn't believe all the CB's were all out and about!
Yeah, no expensive sunglasses for me at Disney! I will invariably loose or break them. It's a good thing I brought a backup in September, because I lost my first pair on Barnstormer and by the time I went to Lost and Found they had moved it all over to TTC-didn't bother going over to check!
He looks like he's eating you!
I was so mad about losing them, but glad they were just a backup pair...of course I would have to fall in love with the darn things! My newest back ups that I keep in the car managed to break in the car this morning, so I need to find these Disney ones to put in there as spares. That's what I was afraid of, that everything would have been moved over to the TTC. I don't think I could have picked out my sunglasses in a bin of hundreds! I had them looped through the keyring part of my lanyard like I had the entire trip, but somehow they fell off. #NeverForget
Haha! He does look like he's getting ready to take a big bite out of my head! And I look like I'm totally fine with it, lol!!
I do this, too! And you're right. Mattresses are SO expensive. We just bought a new king bed this fall and it felt devastating to spend so much money on a bed. I'd definitely try online if we had to do it again! I've heard a lot of good things about mattresses like Purple and Casper lately!
Yay! That's great!
I like this picture!! And your glasses are cute. But I'm sad for you and the loss of the perfect sunglasses.
Yay!! So pleased for you!
Just keeps getting better! What an excellent Country Bears day!
I'm still so bummed about those glasses...talking about them in the TR and now the quotes...wow, I was way more attached to them than I thought
Closed Splash Mountain was the saddest thing ever
I hit the Country Bear jackpot! I have no idea why they were so active this particular day, but it made my whole year!!
Gotta love the Country Bear Love!!!
I was so excited!!
YES!!! I hear ya!
I couldn't agree more.
One of my fave shows ever
What?! What?!
Funny, my BFF and I are doing the same!
I think it's safe to say we're in the same age bracket
We need "We survived" shirts for making it through that week, LOL!!
Part of me feels like I should move on, but the other part of me says I should throw eggs at whoever decided to take GMR away from us.
One of my favorite shows, too!! I used to watch it with my grandparents (which is still funny to think about them letting me watch it, lol) so it is special to me!
The loss of the salmon BLT there is right up there with losing GMR. There's one at Geyser Point at WL I think, but I really loved that one at SciFi
Did you get tickets?? Since we ended up with lawn tickets I need to figure out a seating situation. Our show is at the end of May, so I'm hoping it won't be super hot or raining. When he came to town a couple years ago for the Two Sets tour (which was AMAZING), it started pouring rain, but we were under cover with real seats. My birthday is coming up and I am just not trying to think about age
SO very curious what is growing on the ceiling up there!!!!
Love that you got to take selfies with the Country Bears!!! Those nachos look delish too!!
Same!! I didn't notice the plant growth until I put the picture in the report. HOW is something even growing up there??
I was over the moon about the Country Bears! And I am ALWAYS in favor of nachos, lol. They were good!
I just love MK and have to start and end my trips there. I love the Morning Trolley. Lucky you for being able to see all four of the seasons!
I love the photo of you and your mom in your Mother/Daughter shirts with the Fall decorations.
It looks like the two of you had the perfect Mother/Daughter trip!
I love the MK too!! In January I CRIED...like, reallllly close to an ugly cry...when I left for the last time b/c I didn't know when I'd be back. It's truly a feeling of coming home when you walk in for the first time each trip, and leaving is so hard.
It was a surprisingly good trip! In the beginning I had no idea what to expect, and I think in parts I maybe tried a little too hard to make sure things were "perfect", but once I loosened up a bit, we had a good time.
I’m so late on following your trip report but I’m glad to join in-except for all of the Patriots and Tom Brady hate-too soon, man. Too soon.
Oh, I'm sorry!! I feel for the fans, it's always rough when you're used to your team winning. No more hate from me though, I got it all out of my system!! I saw a headline today that was "How Tom Brady is dealing with the Super Bowl loss", and my first thought was, "he's probably just carrying on and living his life, enjoying some time off, and preparing for next year." One of my friends is a hardcore Brady fan and she's still sad!
This shot is so cool and unique
I couldn't agree more!
It's true, lol. I hate walking by it for some reason, but think it looks cool from the PM.
We are looking for places to vacation this summer, and San Francisco and the Redwood National Park is high on the list. Last night I was looking for hotels up the coast closer to the park, and I found an old hotel someone had described as "like staying in the Haunted Mansion at Disney World", and I was like, that is not a bad thing!!
I also do this. But omg I work in a furniture store and people spend 10k on mattresses sometimes!
My favorite sunglasses were like 9.99 at Aeropostale! I have like 3 pairs
and I think I've already lost 1 pair.
Yay I'm so glad you got to see some Country Bears!
We can never manage to put our toppings and everything together so neatly
For years my favorite sunglasses were these $5 ones from Walmart. I would buy like 3 pairs at a time b/c I was scared they'd stop selling them. The last pair died this morning. I left my good ones in the house b/c I wore them inside on top of my head or something and rushed out without them, so I wore the extras to take the kids to school. When I got home, I moved my good ones to the table so I wouldn't forget them...and then forgot them anyway on the way to get groceries. So I reached for the pair already in my car and they were broken!! The arm of them was cracked and dangling with the screw barely holding things together - I have no idea how they broke in such a short time between coming home from dropping the kids off and then coming back home to get showered and dressed for shopping. I have to go see if there are more at Walmart
Those bears are just the greatest thing ever. I love them so much!!
Once everything was piled on top of the nachos it wasn't neatly organized, LOL!!
Awesome update, loving this TR!
hahahahahahahahaha! I LOVE the way you judge the cost of things!
OOh Liverlips <3
Thank you!!
Oh, I'm not kidding either! Even when we go out to eat somewhere, I"m like, "we could have spent the same at The Plaza", or "This steak has nothing on Citrico's"
It was Country Bear A Palooza!! That little girl was having so much fun with Liverlips!
Just found this today and read it all as DH and I have 5 nights at the Poly villas in March--not our first time at the Poly but so excited. I have to ask are you taking your pictures with your phone or a camera? I bought a camera in 2016 for one of our trips and have used it, but never even look at the memory card once I'm home. i was thinking this time I'll cut my packing and just take my Galaxy.
Hello and welcome!!
My pictures are from my phone! I have a big dslr that I always WANT to bring, but the thought of carrying it around all day in the parks makes me leave it at home. I took it to
Disneyland in 2016, and got tired of worrying about it. I have an iphone X now, but these were taken with the 6s plus. I had a couple of Galaxies before switching to iphone and loved the camera on both of them, and they served me well on Disney trips, too.
Enjoy your Poly trip!! It will be here before you know it...February has already flown by for me!
How do you always see the Country Bears??? I'm a little jealous of your luck!
I read that as "we went to Hungry Bear" and thought "omg is there one in Florida now?!" ....I'm doing great here lol
I don't know how I manage to find them!! I have never seen them all out wandering at the same time like this, it was amazing! It was good enough seeing them here and there on their own, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't totally losing it over seeing them all in one day so close together.
Sadly, we didn't go to Hungry Bear...we just WERE hungry bears, lol!!
OMG I hate our mattress and we are way overdue for a new one. Problem is, everything seems to,come before a new mattress.......and I only think about looking for one when I get into bed
Love your matching shirts!
Hmm I don't know this artist so I'll have to look him up. We've met Larry twice but sadly he hasn't been around for our last few trips. I miss him; Larry where are you??!!
I really enjoyed this too but yes, soooo heavy. I couldn't finish it and had to jog around WS a couple times to work it off. Well, I mean I COULD have jogged WS a couple times to work it off. If I jogged.......or cared
I cannot walk by the trolley show without stopping!
Do you believe I made FP's for this for next month
We haven't ridden in years; I don't particularly care for it. However the boys used to love it and I guess I was feeling nostalgic when I made them. It also might have something to do with the fact that Ricky gets his drivers permit in 2 months
and I rather remember simpler times when all he could drive was a nasty smelling car at WDW!
I'm notorious for losing sunglasses so I've had to purchase them in Disney many times. I've yet to find a pair I find comfortable and that looks good on me
Ok, so a week in on the Purple and I would feel confident recommending it to people. I was the same with our old bed...which wasn't even all that old, or uncomfortable really, I was just fed up with the size and all of the animals taking up my space, and feeling it every time Matt took a breath or something. The motion transfer was so obnoxious. I don't sleep well anyway, so I was ready to pitch the whole thing out the window. But I wouldn't remember how much I hated it until we went to bed, Matt fell asleep, and I was left lying awake with him snoring and the dogs snoring, and being squished between them. We got the purple in a king and it has been life changing.
His artwork is really nice! Some of it is a little cutesy and not quite as realistic as Larry's, but the one I ended up with was beautiful. I need to go take a picture of it...we still don't have a frame for it, so it's propped up on a shelf in our closet
Haha, yeah, my level of caring about jogging it off is about the same as yours!!
Nostalgia is a powerful thing! Aw, I feel you on the drivers license thing. Ugh. I have to go renew my own before my birthday next week and I was going to pick up a book for Xavier. Here kids can get their permit at 14 (WHAT?!?! I'm assuming b/c in rural parts of the state it's needed for farming or something??), and there's always at least one 8th grader who has started driving. Not my kiddo, LOL! He'll be 15 in August and then I'll *consider* starting to let him practice in a parking lot and get him signed up for driver's ed (where I"m from in MO, it was a class at school, here it has to be done independently if done at all). Good luck to Ricky and hugs to you - that's such a huge step. There's a new Nationwide insurance commercial where a mom is teaching her son to drive and the first time I saw it I burst into tears and everyone looked at me like I was nuts. A pretty common occurrence here actually
None of the Disney sunglasses are flattering on me I don't think. I have one pair i had to pick up at Disneyland - they're at WDW too, the ones that look like raybans, clear plastic with black Mickey heads on them. They're the best I've found, but still not perfect. I wasn't a huge fan of he ones I had to get in October at all. They left imprints on my nose!
