Thanks, Annie

I have always wanted to stay at POFQ but during previous trips, there was no availability. I was originally booked at ASMo and when I found out that POFQ was available, I jumped at the chance to stay there.

I am looking forward to taking it slower this trip. In the past I have toured commando style. I wanted to stay somewhere I could relax when I return from the parks. Looking at the photos of POFQ, everything looks beautiful, calm, serene and very relaxing.

I'm really looking forward to this trip!

And you're SO close to Downtown Disney--if you're a shopper like me, you'll be in heaven.

Hi Angela! Welcome to the boards! yay

Your trip sounds like a ton of fun. Le Cellier for b-day dinner is perfect. Cantina de San Angel is a really fun place to eat too, although as a Texan we prefer a different kind of "Mexican" food. silly

I can talk about the dining forever, I'm pretty sure that's 80% of the reason I go to WDW.

So what did you guys do about the lizard? Did he just run off?

laugh He actually just sat on the table - not moving. I think he thought if he didn't move we wouldn't see him. I started screaming (Ok, I was really freaked out) and eventually (after they stopped laughing) my sons shooed him of the table. I think I was still screaming as he scurried off laugh

Welcome to the boards!

It's your birthday, why restrain?!? biggrin

Also is Pecos Bill a favorite? I see it's one of the few places that's getting a return visit.

Hi Angela! welcome

I'm really impressed by all the new things you're trying. Did you have trouble convincing the boys to do that stuff in the past?

The restraint is due to the fact that this trip is a huge splurge. I plan to do some shopping but not a lot.

Pecos Bill is not necessarily a favorite. My CS choices are flexible, I'll probably stop and eat where ever I am laugh

Yes, alot of things I wanted to do, they thought was "corny". Not to mention my oldest DS likes to sleep in which meant I missed some rope drops

Corny?!? At Disney World?!?!? laugh

Of course really, if you're not going to enjoy the corny what else is there to see?

At their age, the only not corny are the thrill rides. They refuse to do any of the shows (although they enjoy Lights, Motors, Action and Indiana Jones) or watch any parades. So now, I get to see as many shows and watch all the parades I want clapping

Howdy, Angela!

I can remember my first solo trip to WDW, and I felt so free. You get so used to bypassing things that your regular companions don't want to do that, when you go all by yourself, it's like an entirely different theme park!

So, will you be getting in free on your birthday? birthday

Hi bali -

That's great--how much is the gift card? I can't figure out how this whole birthday thing works yet!
