Aww, I didn't notice the tea cups when we were there. Adorable!
Yum! This looks amazing!
Wow! This is incredible!
Um....duh!
Oh my gosh! Good luck!!
It's one of the cutest splash pad areas ever!
That lobster benedict is insanely good. It's one of those dishes where you try to get the perfect bite - the egg/lobster/sauce/muffin combined with the tomato...I'm making myself hungry.
Of course I wanted pixie dusting!! It might have been the silliest question I've ever been asked!
What a great time at the GF! I really want to try breakfast there one day! OoOoO how fun to get your hair done at the salon! The one picture you posted where I can see it looks cute, I can't wait to see it in full!
Breakfast at the GF Cafe is definitely one I'd recommend. It's easy to get a reservation there and the food is consistently good. I want to try lunch or dinner there eventually.
It was such a different experience going to the salon. The CMs working there were really friendly and easy to talk to.
Grand Floridian looks so gorgeous!!
It's so pretty there
My dream stay is main building CL...hoping for that lottery win or a deep discount, LOL!!
What an amazing trip so far!
So far so good! I was so nervous going in, with it being my mom's first trip, but I was pleased with how it was going to this point!
I would keep this up all year round! I love these wreaths!!
My boyfriend spent like 3 summers surveying so he points out EVERY SINGLE one to me
They're so pretty!! I really wish they sold a version in the parks, they'd make a gazillion dollars!
Haha, the king of survey markers! It's like another version of hidden Mickey
Yes! I love doing this. I sometimes take myself purposefully off course just to do so
I have no idea but when you figure it out, let me know.
What a ridiculous question! Why'd she bother asking?!
Love this picture! And your hair looks awesome!
I was glad to have the opportunity to see more of the resort! I was mad at myself for not looking around at Pop more before heading to the Poly, and for not going over to AoA, but we were on such a tight timeline. Up until now, my experience at the GF was in the lobby, shops, and restaurants. It was fun to see more of the grounds - it's so beautiful!
It's the only carpet I would consider putting in my house after all the work of putting in the wood floors this summer/fall
It was ridiculous! Who says no to pixie dust??
Thank you!
LOVE that view!!! And so pretty at night!
How dare that little kid be in your picture! As a matter of fact, how dare all these people be on Main Street when I'm trying to take pictures of the castle and me?!? LOL
It's a wreath around a Mickey pumpkin!!
I always forget this is there! Mostly because I'm dying whenever I'm on this ride.
Yeah you and me both...I get all teary from all the songs they picked for HEA!!! Actually I tear up at just about any Disney nightime show...
Next week is going to be so hard for me as we watch HEA the night before we leave on our very last trip of the year (and end of our APs)
OOH this looks good! I wonder why we never tried them!
I've never noticed these before! Glad you told me about them!
Yum! I had the pancakes when we were there in Nov. Soooo good!
Why are the Contemporary shops soooo awesome?!? They have so much stuff there! And the stores are really big!
It's the best sight to come home to...even though I think Animal Kingdom is my favorite park, I'm not home-home until I get to the Magic Kingdom, and nothing beats coming in from the water!
I was so mad at that kid, LOL
Don't these people realize our Disney experience is the only one that matters??? LOL!
I tear up at the nighttime shows too. I remember my first visit and just sobbing my way through fireworks, Fantasy in the Sky in particular, once Tink flew to kick off the show. It never got better with any subsequent show. So much crying, haha!
Our upcoming trip is the last on my AP too
I never thought I'd get a year of Disney trips like this in my life, and it's going to be hard to let go of!
The nachos were good! We only had Captain Cook's twice and it's what I got both times!
You will have to look for the survey markers now!!
Those pancakes haunt me all the time, but I just cannot quit the lobster benedict!!
The Contemporary shops are the best resort stores, I swear. They have everything imaginable.
This is a great view of the Grand!
This looks incredible! I now need to work this into one of my upcoming trips!
I loved the view of the Grand walking over from the Poly. It just so elegant and beautiful.
I will always recommend the GF Cafe!!
The Mary Blair mural...oh how I wish I had the determination and patience to get out the masking tape and recreate one somewhere in my house.
Hope there are more photos of your hair, would love to see what they did!!
I don't think I ever got a picture of it from the back, but the upcoming posts will show it off a little more. She got the braids so tight, I have no idea how people can do that, lol!!
Going to tag along for this trip report, this looks like so much fun!
I wish I could go on a trip with my mom, but whenever I suggest it she goes "NO!" I tried to tell her that she could spend time at the resort and maybe have a spa day and not do all the crazy park stuff, but alas...
So I'm living vicariously through you!
Hooray!! Welcome!
My mom is more of a relaxed weekend/outdoorsy camping type, so I had no idea how any of this would work out. She probably wished it was more spa less park, LOL!!
I've tried this strategy before and even though I love to sleep in, it just doesn't seem to work at Disney!
I do love the GF but I always feel like such a redneck while there!
I don't think I've ever seen the GFC busy. I've done lunch and dinner there now, need to try breakfast someday.
Now I'm hungry for chocolate.
Mom and I love riding the monorail around to the different resorts!
Sleeping in and Disney just don't work for me, either. I have some late starts planned for the trip in two weeks, because we'll be out late with NYE stuff, and I'm really curious to see what happens on those mornings!
LOL, I tend to pay attention to what I'm wearing a little more when visiting the Grand. Like they're going to kick me out
Lunch and dinner are on my to do list there b/c breakfast has been so consistent.
I was reading ChunkyMonkey's cruise report and she had a picture of oatmeal...and it made me want oatmeal so much my husband went and made some for me. So I am familiar with TRs leading to food cravings
Resort hopping is one of my favorite activities. I wish it was easier to get around the mods, I want to go look at those, too!
Loving this TR and your trip so far! I LOVE the fall decorations at MK!!!
Thank you!!
The fall decorations are something special! The only thing I think I like more is the Christmas decor at Hollywood Studios!
The GFC is one of those places I keep wanting to get to - and never make it
One day.......
I hope you had a good visit with your brother! From your FB pics it looks like you did
You should definitely get it on the list at some point! Breakfast has been consistent enough that it makes me want lunch and dinner there!!
Aw, yes, we had a good visit! The boys liked having my niece and nephew around...well, X got a little tired at the end, b/c my 3 year old niece latched onto him and wouldn't leave him alone
Well I don't know you, and I'm am just getting here to read your TR, but I don't think your pictures look awkward at all!
Thanks for the TR!
Welcome!
Thank you, that's very kind of you!!
I'm glad you're reading along. Hopefully I will pick up the pace a little bit, I feel like my updates are dragging b/c of everyday activities...I'd rather just write about my trip, LOL!!
Definitely in my top 2 best nachos ever! Now I want to be sure and get them again in March......
I have got to get an update on my TR going... and I'll get myself together before then, too
