January 2012 trip filled with surprises!

BARBARA!!!! we met her when we were the grand marshalls during the celebration parade. She was amazing! gave us such a big hug!

That is down right HILARIOUS! I love it! This is why Disney rocks! The Cast Members going our of there way to make a great day!

And I think ill have to take advantage of that bus next time. Never really thought about riding it... lol

OK Mrhub I hate to disagree with you BUT in that picture of you and scrappy on Splash Mountain you wrote that you didn't get too wet BUT that photo looks like you are soaked to the skin (as in hair soaked and plastered to your head and towel on your shoulder) and scrappy looks dry as a bone. How about "The rest of the story" The real story

I've had breakfast at the Kona Cafe. I do want to try dinner there too.

wow this trip looks so amazing, and i love that youre having a great time... but everytime I come read more I get hungrier and hungrier! thanks for sharing your magical vacation with us!

Was the "Shoe Tree" back???? Management made them remove the shoes and sneakers and stop populating the tree a few years ago.

Someone told me once that the Wilderness Lodge looks like a bear when light up at night. Wow! Your picture really shows that. Awesome!

I love your photos!

I am in the pre-planning stages of a trip with my S.O. who is skeptical of the meal plan. I think I will show him your pics to try and convince him!!

We are big sushi lovers and the sushi looks amazing!!!

Of course it all looks amazing from the fun with the cast members to the food....Never thought of doing Kona Cafe before but it looks pretty yummy so may have to look into it

Since Mrhub seems to be taking an intermission with this trip report I thought I would go ahead and post pictures of my FINISHED scrapbook of the trip. This one is the first small one I have done. I actually did two exactly alike so I can give Tom & Del one. I thought the small size would be easier to do but now that I have tried it I think the larger ones are easier to work with. With the smaller size you either get one picture per page or you have to crop. I do not normally mind cropping pictures but Disney pictures are harder to do without losing all the detail.

Scrapbook part 2

That was a great Scrapbook Scrappy!

That is indeed a nice piece of work Scrappy.

I meant to tell you guys...when we were at MK last Wednesday, Barbara came out before rope drop and was running around talking to everyone. She came up to me and said 'WELL GOOD MORNING PRINCESS!!!!' I immediately recognized her and told my boyfriend that I would have to tell everyone on here about it.

Scrappy, that scrapbook is AMAZING! You are very talented!

Scrappy, from one expert scrapbooker to another....It looks great

I was also thinking about this the other day....When we get together in November I'm going to have a hard time calling you by your real names and not calling you scrappy and Mr.hub...LOL

Those are beautiful! I need to catch up before my next trip! I love how simple and elegant your pages are!

More please!

Awesome scrapbook, scrappy!!! What a great memory book for you and them

I love that book - did you get it at WDW or locally?

I think I agree about the book size - I have a lot more flexibility with the larger ones to get the pages the way I want. Because Lord knows I save and incorporate *everything*.

Great pictures You know all of the years we have stayed at AKL I have never seen that thing on the outside with the leaves growing up it....I just think we have never come in those doors.

Thanks for all the kind words about my scrapbook. I love every minute of doing them! Jeff, I did get the books in Disney. I got them at the World of Disney in DTD but I saw them on Main Street in the Emporium too. I think they did have the same one in the larger 12x12 size. It was the first time I saw it so they should still have it when you go.
