Loving your report! And I have a 19 month old son who decided to drink straight from a puddle on our street (not even classy enough to use a straw ) not too long ago. Boys! You gotta love 'em! I am anxious to read more about how Cooper did since we are headed to WDW in December.
OK, that seriously made me LOL-not classy enough to use a straw!! I had no idea Cooper was actually a high achiever! He really did very well. I was worried he wouldn't sleep in the stroller, since if we go for a long day here, he won't. But they were pretty tired right away there, so he slept for 2 hours in the stroller most days. Did you ever find a good deal on airfare?
I think it is a boy thing. I can't image a girl (in her pretty princess dress) drinking from a puddle. Boy are just boys. But on the plus side I will never have to pray for getting into princess dinning.
Thanks for the info, I was wondering about the cooling fans. We have only gone in Jan and Nov so it was cool, we even needed sweatshirts. I am making one of many Walmart and Target runs this weekend for supply's. I will look for them there and hope to find them in a discount bin.
I too have seen that "honey you are Disney crazy" look from my DH as I plan for this trip and bring the laptop to bed so I can read more info and ideas.
Can't wait to read more, if you think of anything else I might miss in the last week frenzy I would be so appreciate it.
I will definitely let you know if I think of anything before you go. If you're bringing the laptop to bed then you've probably gotten tons of great tips from here. I'm sure you'll be just fine! It was definitely hot-even the evenings were just a little "less hot," but never cool. No sweatshirts needed for us! Bring ponytail holders if you have long hair. The one day I forgot to bring mine, I was trying to fashion something out of a pipe cleaner! It was so pathetic my MIL finally bought me a $5 holder!
I love the lastest installments. The pictures of the railroad station all done up in orange are gorgeous. It seems like you guys really lucked out on the wait times. 10 minutes for Dumbo? That's short compared to the 90 minutes we often see when we're there.
I'm glad to see that the grandmothers are still having a good time.
What the heck was up with the castmembers who didn't give a hoot whether or not they helped that little girl find her parents? That's just plain mean. I think I'd have to write to Disney about that one.
And, of course, the puddle sipping......pretty darn gross. But, he's a boy.....those are things that boys do. Mine is now 12 and he still does gross things.
I know, 10 minutes was awesome, and the fact that 10 minutes was a LONG line for us shows how quiet it was. Ridemax was very useful in that respect too, as we did follow the order it gave much of the time, and that led to really short lines. September is awesome!
I was really disappointed in how that cast member acted. I had told myself that if, God forbid, we got separated from one of the kids, at least they would be helped by the nicest people possible. That was a real eye opener. They just seemed so put out to have to help!
Ok, I just threw up a little after reading the puddle story. That is pretty hilariously disgusting Gotta love boys! Hey, at least he kept himself hydrated
I realized that I hadn't subscribed to this thread so I've been missing all the updates. Duh!!! Now, I'm all signed up and ready for more. It's great so far
I don't blame you a bit for vomiting! And I was LOL at the hydrated comment! We did get cups of ice water frequently, but I guess a boy's gotta do what a boy's gotta do when he finds himself parched!
More to come soon, I promise.
