Wow sounds like a great trip, I did the EE5K in September and other than the torrential rain it was so much fun. Several of my Moms Panel friends are running in the Princess half too, it will be amazing running through the empty parks
Subbing. ONE DAY I will stay at the Poly! One day...
I was at WDW last year during the princess half and I met several women who participated. They all seemed to have a great time. Best of luck to you.
Where do you live in Montreal? My parents were born and raised there, but moved to PA a few months before I was born. We might go for a visit this summer. I haven't been back in almost seven years. We don't have a lot of family left there, but there are still some. Most have moved to Toronto and a few to Vancouver.
We did a four night cruise in November. It was a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy it!
Holy changes, Batman! You make a DISer like me so proud!
Sounds like a great vacay. The Poly is my most favorite Disney resort!
SOOOO jealous! I have 27 days, but at least it is less than a month! Have a great time and let me know how your trip goes!
Alas, nothing to be jealous of...unfortunately I didn't say IN one day, I said (add wistful sigh here) ...one day...
My next trip to WDW is the first week in May, and then again the last week of October. Pop in May, AKV in October. One day, the Poly...
My folks moves to a vary small town in south central PA from the big city of Montreal. It was a BIG change for them and for a while Mom was very unhappy, but she grew to love it and by the time she passed away, she wouldn't have moved for anything. I live right here in said small town. We travel TO cities a lot, but I can't see myself living in one. I do love Montreal though. Have you had breakfast/ brunch at Beauty's? It's a great Jewish b-fast place. My dad goes to Montreal on business a couple of times a year and brings us bagels...ahhh...nothing better than a Montreal bagel
I love the loot!
I love that keychain
OMG I love that D&B!!!! I was supposed to get one as a wedding gift but now that we are planning on buying a house I think that's our wedding gift to each other. I will just live vicariously through you!!!
Oh, the details in the semantics. But still, two trips this year is great! It is too far for us to make more than one per year. I heard they are renovating POP... I have wanted to try it since I think the kids would love the theming!
Your parents' move is the opposite of me. I grew up on a farm and then in a small town in Ohio. After college I moved to DC with DH and then up to Montreal. Our hope is to move to Manhattan one day.
I have not made it to Beauty's. We will have to try it! DD is getting over a stomach bug, so hopefully next weekend she will feel up to breakfast out.
I'm not on it anymore, my contract was only for a year. I did love answering all the questions, especially the few that came in from fellow Brits it was also lovely when someone asked you several questions and told me that I'd helped them, I also made some great new friends and still chat online with my fellow 2009 panellists daily You should definitely apply this year, if it's the same as the last few years applications will be taken in September so look out for details at allears etc You're right that there are thousands of applicants but I never ever expected to get on so you never knowHow Fun! I wanted to do that 5K, but it was right when we had DS's birthday. I am thinking about applying for the Mom's Panel this year... do you like it? I know WAY more people apply than they can take and it would be a long shot, but it sounds like fun. Congrats on the 5K and the Mom's Panel!
Oooh I like that, it looks like a pandora bracelet but as a keyring. Wonder if they sell them here!!My Chamilla Charm Keychain (Thanks Mom & Dad)
I LOVE Pop Century. I am very happy to own DVC and am excited to try a lot of the different DVC resorts, but I'd be very sad to not stay at Pop any more. Maybe when the kids get older the rooms there will be too small, but for now it suits our purposes (especially for an "extra" trip.) It is centrally located, has a great food court, doesn't share busseshas great pools and a splash fountain and has great themeing. Plus the price is right!
The Poly is my dream resort though and one of these days I'll use some points or pay OOP to stay there! My favorite location, though, is the Epcot resorts. We all LOVE Epcot and being able to walk over is such a perk!
Beauties is really great. Good food, great atmosphere. And of course there is the "Big Orange." Seeing that always meant we had arrived in Montreal. My cousin lives in London (England) now and is planning to visit family and friends in Toronto and Montreal this summer and we might try to meet up with her in one or both cities. I think nothing of tossing the kids into the car and going, so it might be sort of last minute. I don't know...Oh, and Schwartz's...mmm...smoke meat!! That's my husband's favorite, but because of the whole mad cow thing, dad can't bring that back to the states anymore

Love your running outfit! Is that the running skirt or the athletic one? I like to drool over all the goodies on that website!
