Does this mean we aren’t going to the mountains? ** 3/6 Link to new PTR**

Yes, I'm sure Josh is my son for sure. The sandwich not to his liking reminds me of a meal at Wolfgang Puck's Cafe

The dress looks so cute on Hannah.

Bill seems to enjoy every moment. Did Chip and Dale actually honk the horn?

I was handling Josh's attitude well at that point but things changed .

Hannah loved all her dresses.

Bill loves every moment in Disney, Chip and Dale both honked the horn more than once

 

[pipersmom]

Loooove the Chip & Dale pics! So funny that Dale liked Bill's horn so much :lol:. I'm sorry that Josh wasn't happier on the trip, and hoping it didn't affect Hannah and Christian too much. Hannah's dress was very cute, love all the flags from different countries on it!

Great Chip N Dale pix! Bill looks like he had the most fun.

Sunshine Seasons! One of my faves!

TestTrack. I'm glad the whole family enjoyed it and UoE as well. Did everyone stay awake in UofE

 

[heaven2dc]

Love Hannah's dress - it is so cute! Chip & Dale sure are having fun with Bill's chair - that is priceless!

Hi Tracy! I'm all caught up on your fantastic report! I can sense the tension at times, but I think you are doing a MARVELOUS job of keeping it together! It's good that you went in with realistic expectations! Loved hearing about your meeting with Kathy! 'Ohana looked like a big hit with the whole group - I can't wait to eat there again in February!

How cute are Hannah's clothes???? Oh my word! Adorable!

Patiently waiting for more.... You are doing a great job my friend!

Josh is just moody over all he really enjoyed the trip. Hannah and Christian had a ball, I tried to keep the tension from them that is why I wouldn't argue when he tried to start something.

We love Sunshine Seasons. I thought about you when we were on UofE, it is so funny how I think of people from the boards when we are there. We all stayed awake.

Love Hannah's dress - it is so cute! Chip & Dale sure are having fun with Bill's chair - that is priceless!

I wish I had videoed it!

Hi Sara!! I tried to keep it together, you will see later on that I didn't always get to do that . Kathy is such a great person, I can't say that enough. The clothes were so beautiful and fit her perfectly. Thanks for being here .

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I can't believe I didn't switch the camera to video to get that. I have to look through Josh's video and see what he got.

Thanks, Bill and I had a great dinner and he got me the flowers I posted a page or two ago. We love seeing Chip and Dale they are so fun!!

I didn't know Josh was trying to get that picture from Test Track or I would have moved out of the way .

 

[dillydilly]

Happy Belated Birthday! Those sure are some lovely flowers!

We Sunshine Seasons! Yum!

My dd6 thinks Hannah's dress is beautiful!

Great installment!

 

[dlwharp]

Happy Belated Birthday! I have to tell you, Hannah is the most adorable little girl - she is so pretty and you can just tell she is in wonder at all the Disney Magic! Looks like both the kids had a wonderful time!

 

[jcc0621]

Chip and Dale are always the best character interaction with Jimmy! He just loves them. Face characters, not so much...but give him a 5 foot chipmunk and he is fine

Jo willbe so proud that you rode TT

All caught up here Tracy, feel free to start your next update now.

I'm really enjoying your report and watching how it all unfolds. Isn't it great to see WDW through a child's eyes?

After Chip and Dale we decided to go see the fab five at the Character Connection. I knew Hannah would love this, what I didn’t know is that Josh would actually want to be in the pictures too. Disney turns even the grouchiest person into a happy person.

We went to get into line and the character attendant at the door asked us where our pass was? “What pass?” I asked, did this get fastpass and I didn’t know it? He looked at Bill and said “you know the card?” I said “A GAC?” He doesn’t need a GAC he is in a wheelchair. The guy said “well I can’t let you in.” I said “We can’t stand in line?” He said “well yes but I can’t let you into the front of the line without the card”. I said “we never asked to go to the front of the line”. I tried to move all of us to the end of the line, it really wasn’t that long and he said “don’t go anywhere, wait a minute”. He went off somewhere came back within two minutes and asked us to follow him. He opened a gate and put us into the front of the line. I was not happy about this, I told him we would wait, I felt embarrassed and so did Bill, we wanted to wait our turn. I apologized to the family he cut in front of and they said not to worry about it. We still felt bad.

Here are some photopass pictures (I have learned having that many people in a picture someone is going to be looking the wrong way and someone will have their eyes closed):

Hannah meeting Pluto, I love the look on her face:

Pluto licked Bill:

I loved this smile:

Hannah was so happy:

Minnie signing the autograph book:

I tried to get in the picture, at the last second Minnie leaned towards Bill, peek-a-boo:

For some reason the photopass pictures of Donald didn’t show up on the card, but I was taking pictures. Look you can see a smile on Josh’s face, it is a Miracle!!!!:

Everyone’s eyes are open and they are smiling SCORE!:

Lastly we met Goofy:

Hannah’s been around Bill too much, her eyes are closed:

After that everyone was giggly and happy so I suggested we try “FREE” soda at Club Cool. I knew better than to try to get Josh to try it, so I went for Christian. We walked in and Abbey loved all the Coke stuff. I had them try sodas out then I said to Christian, “you know I am doing a trip report for the message boards right?” He said “yes”. Then I said “would you let me video you trying this soda then give me a review?” He smiled and said “YES”. I had told Abbey about Beverly before so she knew what I was doing. Here is the bad video I took, I will explain why afterwards:



I thought he was either going to spit it out or worse and I was laughing so hard I moved the camera down. After all that he took another drink and said it wasn’t that bad. We went back to the Land Pavilion and rode Soarin, it was a huge hit!!!

Josh wanted to try Honey I Shrunk the Audience, Bill and I needed to do some personal care so we decided to meet up at the Japan Pavilion.

Abbey took some pictures while they were figuring out where to go. Look at the newbie checking out the map (FYI he should have kept it with him he would need it later):

Who is that? My son in a DISNEY shirt with a grin on his face? HUH?

Hmmm, looking at the map AGAIN:

Christian’s favorite pose, on the ground smiling:

Bill and I decided to try the friendship boats that go across the lagoon. We got off at Germany, walked to Japan, and they were waiting for us.

Next installment…Teppan Edo, picking some pearls, and why am I crying at Illuminations?

 

[praisehisname]

So pretty!

Sounds like a pretty good day in Epcot so far! I love all the character pictures!

 

[pipersmom]

At you laughing so hard the camera moved! I'm going to make Piper try Beverly, but she likes Moxie, as do I, so not sure how that's going to go, it should be interesting! So nice to see Josh (and everyone else) having such a great time. I know I'm prob going to have front of the line guilt issues when we go, especially when Piper looks "normal", so I don't blame you guys for feeling that way. I think anyone with any conscience at all would. The pics are great though! I love the look on Hannah's face when she met Pluto
