February Magical Family Adventures!!~ LAST DAY!! (6/5)

[DisMomAmy]

Cute costume! Zachary is really into jetpacks right now so he would love to be Buzz Lightyear - but I already bought him a frog costume (which he loves). Hopefully he'll still want to be Buzz next year.

 

[winkers]

What a cutie! I remember when my oldest ds was little and toy story came out. he was obsessed with Buzz!

Evening Blue!!

Awww, DS looks so cute with the costume!!! Love it!

Thanks to everyone about the compliments on DS in the costume.

Sorry it's been a while since I've updated. It's been crazy around here trying to finish our kitchen remodel and I've been helping a lot at DS's school. Right now we are getting ready for the fall auction, Halloween class party, AND a field trip to a pumpkin patch! (If you want to read up on the kitchen remodel you can click here. )

As for trip planning, lately I have mostly just been keeping my eyes and ears out for information on whether or not there will be a Pirate & Princess party while we are there, as well as when the T-Rex restaurant will start taking ADR's. So far I have no NEW info on either of those and it's driving me BONKERS!! This is me every morning for that P&PP information....

Usually they put the official dates out and start selling tickets after the Halloween parties are finished. But I can't help taking a peek every morning just in case.

I hope you are all well. Next update I will start our "park goals". Until then, enjoy some pic's from our last trip in May of this year.......

I'm in the same boat... waiting for the P&PP info to come out! I hope they have one while we are there. The 7pm closings are kind of scattered around during April (none of which are during our week) so I'm hoping for one on May 1st. We'll probably check out T-Rex while we are there too. I was looking at pictures and it looks amazing!

Good luck with all of the school stuff - fall is always so busy - we have our auction in the spring - I can't imagine trying to pull it off in the fall. Yesterday I got to spend the day outside in the woods on a field trip - it was about 40 degrees all day! I'm still cold!

Waiting for information is always nerve-racking! I dying right now because they are saying the ADR upgrade won't be finished until late December (my 180 mark is the beginning of December) -- I have a mini-panic attack just thinking about it!

Fingers crossed for P&PP!

There are no 7pm closings for the week we are going. It's odd because there has been one that week the past 2 years. There is also none in January even though they say the PPP is from Jan-April. So, with that info I'm hoping that they are going to add more 7pm's to the calendar.

Our school does a fall auction and a spring carnival to raise money. It's pretty hectic. This is my first year so I'm still learning about everything. It's fun, though!

I feel cold FOR you!!! I'm wondering how cold it will be next week. Today started in the low 50's but is supposed to be near the 80's by afternoon.

I'm sorry to laugh but I know just what you mean about the mini panic attack. DH thinks I'm nuts sometimes, but loves the outcome when we are there.

Jumping in! Your trip sounds great! It definitely sounds like you need a break!

Your DS looks so cute in his costume! He must be so excited for Halloween!

I'm hoping to be able to make an ADR for T-Rex also. If I can't actually make one I have an ADR at Planet Hollywood as a backup. I figure we have a 6pm ADR for PH, we'll get to T-Rex at around 5 and see if we can get in. If we can I'll call over to PH and cancel so no one is standing around waiting for a table and ours is there without us. If we can't get into T-Rex we'll head over to PH and we won't starve!!

Good luck! Can't wait to read more!

Hi Blue I checked your kitchen remodelling !! It's going to be awesome !! I can't wait for the May calendars to come out !!I've sorta decided wher to eat but as you know the fun of planning is to change it !! I also have been changing my avatar as somehow my PP pix ended up there !!

 

[Trentmom]

Hey Blue Eyed!!

So glad to see another one for you. I was bored and looking for something to read and that is how I found ya

Okay, going to read now

 

[Trentmom]

All caught up.

Your adrs looks great. It is a shame that Liberty Tree Tavern is getting rid of the characters, but the food is really good, minus the mac n cheese. I found that a tad bit gross. The rest is great.

Your ds looks too cute as buzz.

My ds is being Mr. Potato head. When he asked to be one, I had no idea if they even sold one. I lucked out when I found on on ebay

Can't wait for more

Night Blue !!

Thanks about DS. We had a good time doing some early trick or treating this past weekend. We have 2 more places to go on Friday plus a class party! WHEW!! By the weekend I will be ready for a break.

We did Planet Hollywood last time. It was pretty good. Mostly burgers and such. The atmosphere is really neat!

Thank you, Rosie!

I know what you mean about changing ADR's. I usually do that a few times before the trip comes.

So glad to read that about LTT. Can't wait to try it out! I'm hoping for a P&PP that night too.

I bet your DS looks adorable as Mr. Potato Head!!
Do you have a TR going on about your camping trip?? I'm so sorry I have fallen behind. I will have to go look for it. Hope you guys had a blast!!

Night Blue !!

Good Morning Rosie!

Do you know when they are supposed to come out with the P&PP dates? I have not checked when they came out last year. I hope they have it while we are there. I have to say it was one of the best firework shows I have ever seen.

Last year they came out right after Halloween. I think they like to have only 2 party's worth of tickets being sold at one time. Sooooo....I'm HOPING we will see something tomorrow or at least within the next week!

I totally agree about the fireworks. They were AWESOME!!!

Woo Hoooooo!!! Ok, I'm going to start reading it tonight once I put DS to bed. I'm going to pop myself some popcorn and catch up tonight!

Today is DS's class party. It starts at 2pm. I'm supposed to meet the other mom's there at 1:45. We are bringing all the goodies and we are supposed to dress up. Right now it is 12:58 and I'm sitting on the computer dressed like Elizabeth Swann. I'm sure I'm a sight to behold!!

We have decided to do a small amount of make up on the little girls and give them a plastic tiara. For the boys I've got pirate hats from party city and a black halloween make up crayon to draw them a beard and moustache. So, we are SORT OF having a pirate and princess party today.

Your P&PP sounds cool !! Hi Blue!!

 

[winkers]

Have you been to Kona before? If so, how did ds like it? We're trying it for the first time, but I am a little worried about the kids.

 

[englishrose47]

Winkers don't worry just remember your "L"s!!!!!
