Sorry Gaston, They are MUCH More Interesting Than You!*6/8* NEW Trip Report Link p154

[MEK]

Wow, great firsts and favorites! Can't believe you did so many firsts in one trip! Even if they are little things, like a new seating area, it doesn't matter, it's still so nice that are so many new things to see in Disney after going so many times!

I completely live by this. Even the small things are all first in my book! I love experiencing something for the first time. I love mixing up the order of my park touring. That's always a new experience. The possibilities are limitless!

I love going during Food and Wine, if I didn't love Christmas SO much, I'd go every year, but I can't stand the thought of not going during Christmas!

Christmas is really a magical time. I think the best of both worlds must be going at the end of F&W and the beginning of Christmas. I almost planned that for 2013, but really wanted to work more around our anniversary and Denny's b-day.

Have a great time on your trip, can't wait to read about it when you get back!

Thanks. I guess things did not work out for you and a possible mini-trip. That's a bummer. Boo!

It's this gradual evolution from being a guest to being an "almost" expert to just being in the place you call home. That's sounds corny, doesn't it?

Not corny at all

My favorite Christmas ornament I didn't buy.

My favorite Christmas ornament I didn't buy.

Glad you found my stab at humor amusing. But seriously, those Christmas ornaments are (1) super expensive and (2) not suited for traveling with someone who overpacks.

That's why I carry them on the plane with me.

hey Mary Ellen

loved your trip wrap up - just wonderful memories. I'm looking forward to the next one and have just signed up to Cynthia's new one.

Enjoy your next trip and I look forward to reading many more trip reports.

My last full day of work tomorrow before my trip so it will no doubt be a VERY long day

Take care

I was a lurker on this report, and I'm coming out to Thank you guys for such a wonderful report. I really, really enjoyed it. I hope you have a wonderful vacation and I'll be there for the next report!

 

[tinacaplan]

Just wanted to drop in and say hello before you leave on your next trip! Maybe while you're gone I'll catch up on this one!

 

[Chilly]

Enjoy your next adventure

I do that too, but I usually have so much carry-on crap that I worry about where I am going to put it, pack it, ect. I really need to change my sherpa ways.

The next time I stay at WL, I'm going to find that path to Fort Wilderness, it looks so pretty!

Amyulo! Welcome to the DIS boards and to my TR! I hope you enjoy the boards as much as I do.

The path is very pretty and very easy to find. Just walk to the boat and bike rental shop. You will see a dirt path the skirts around the lake. Very easy. There are several paths you can take from that which lead over to a concrete path that goes to Fort Wilderness.

The lobby of VWL is beautiful, I'd love to see it decorated for Christmas too!

It's gorgeous. We saw it Christmas 2011. Unfortunately, we were staying there to get the full effect. But we had dinner at AP and were fortunate enough to get our picture in front of the Christmas tree!

Don't you love taking the boat over to MK from WL? Wilderness Lodge is just perfect, I love it so much!

Yes. I love the boat transportation and we really used the heck out of it while we were there. Last time I stayed there I had a car, so we didn't use the boats quite as much. This time we took every possible boat route and it was awesome.

Tina!!!!!! Do you know how many times I have asked you to come back on the boards. I know we are both so thrilled you stopped by, especially since you were the inspiration for this TR title!

I hope you doing great and enjoying your summer. I also hope you get back on the boards and soon!

Enjoy your next adventure

Thanks Claire! And thanks for following along with this TR. I will posting a link for the next one soon!

Great wrap-up Mary Ellen. Speaking of firsts, that's gotta be the first time that "favorite random toe shot" was used in a TR wrap-up.

I enjoyed following along with you guys on this trip.

Thanks Glenn! And, yes, I am sure favorite random toe shot is not a common finding in a TR wrap-up. But maybe I will start a new trend.

I enjoyed following along with you guys on this trip.

And we enjoyed having you! Thanks for following along with us!

 

[khertz]

Great wrap up, Mary Ellen!! I loved this TR, and I look forward to the next one. Can't wait for October! It would be so great if we could meet up while we are there.

I usually buy one a trip but the majority of mine have come from the Disney store online, after the holidays, when they're cheap.

 

[GoofyFan1515]

Great job with the picture recap! Enjoyed your "firsts" as I've actually done some of those. And you posted some of my favs from the trip too!

Love the MNSSHP and I have to agree that the Boo to You parade may be my favorite also.

Really enjoyed tagging along on this TR with you ladies! It has been a lot of fun!

Hope your upcoming trip goes great Mary Ellen! Can't wait to hear about the trip and the DISmeets.

So are you saying it weighed more than a 1/2 pound???

All caught up- what a great wrap up!

 

[Poolrat]

Before you are ready to fly away again.....


Have a great make-up trip.

Enjoy off site and cherish every moment.

Great wrap-up. I loved all the pictures of your first. Hopefully I will start at the beginning of your next trip report, so I do not have to play catch-up the whole report.

Best wishes for your next trip. I hope your new job works out wonderfully without the traffic.
