catching up on the amazing updates. I'm excited that my son too will be tall enough to ride Soarin and Test Track for first time. What is the golf ball in Soarin?
I love the Mexico pavillion!
Looks like a fun meet .. it is odd that first time you meet people from the boards/online community in WDW... my sister & I went to a Dole Whip meet for a podcast last year - it took us over 20 minutes to get the courage to walk up and introduce ourselves
I have the 'Three Caballeros' song stuck in my head now hehe
How nice that you got to meet up with so many Disers! It really is like meeting up with old friends isn't it?
Glad you enjoyed San Angel, but I have to tell you, I'm one of the ones that didn't care for it at all I think I might have just made a bad choice, will have to try it again!
I love the Mexico pavilion too. I can't wait to try the new restaurant! I'm so glad you got to participate in the meet. Sounds like it was perfectly arranged so the kids and Chris could enjoy their meal and you could hop back and forth!
I am dying to know what Chris' favorite part of World Showcase is!
What a fun DIS meet! And I'm happy to hear your great review of San Angel. We have an ADR there in January. We've never been, but I just love the looks of the setting. I'm happy to hear the food is good too!
Aww, glad your Dismeet was fun! Can't wait to see what Chris actually loves in the World Showcase!
True and I got it in time for a 3 1/2 hour trip each way to New Hampshire this weekend so it made the trip much more pleasant!
Looks like it was a fun dismeet!
Definitely want to try La Cava next month.
It sounds like you had a great Dis meet and meal at San Angel! I've read less then stellar reviews of San Angel as well and I'm glad you liked it!
Love a DISMeet!!! And how very fun to have one on your birthday! The food at SanAngel looks delicious. I think if/when we try it, we'll be on the "fan" list as well, we LOVE Mexican, and prefer real Mexican versus tex-mex.

Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo, sounds just right. It sounds like you had a fun dis meet even if you had to go back and forth.
We're fans of San Angel too! Haven't tried the enchiladas before, but they look great!
BTW, hope you don't mind...but I might steal the stealthy golf ball move! I just bought a Mickey golf ball on eBay!
I'm really late to the party, but I'm all caught up and am LOVING your TR!
I'm so envious of your long Disney trip (I've only ever gone for a week). Even when your DH doesn't cooperate with your plans, it seems like you still have plenty of time to see everything.
Can't wait to hear how you enjoyed the rest of your birthday!
Looks like it was a fun Dismeet even with the running back and forth. I really think you have one of the only good reviews I've read of San Angelo...we've never tried it since we've never heard anything good.
Hello and greetings from Montreal!
Just signed up and read the whole thing in one sitting.
Have to say you are very patient with your husband. My husband is mildly resistant also but leaving the park after only a couple of hours was unheard of to me.
I a glad to see you kept a positive attitude and you guys shared great memories anyways. If you ask me, I think spending time by the pol in a deluxe hotel is a wonderful alternative to the crowded parks.
I love the pictures at the Boardwalk. Beautiful family.
Cannot wait to read more.

Hi Trish, I was insanely behind so I'm going back a few updates here!
I totally get how much you love Philharmagic, I love it too - watching all the little kids trying to grab stuff out of the air is one of my favorite parts of the attraction
Good for you standing ground and making sure you got to see Wishes! We had Tink fly right over us during the dessert party too - that was pretty cool. I admit, I giggled when I read about your slooooooow walk out of the park after the fireworks - I could just picture the irritated face and grumbles coming from Chris
I love the picture of Katie pushing the stroller and trying to click her heels as she walked - such a great pic!
Yay Declan for getting to ride all the thrill rides! That must have been awesome to get to experience them all together.
I didn't know it was your birthday during our meet! Shame on you for not letting us know!
I've been very afraid to try San Angel Inn due to the awful reviews it gets on these boards but I've read several really positive ones lately so maybe we'll give it a try - if I ever get back that is......
Great DISmeet! A lot of back and forth but it sounds like it all worked out and not only did you have fun, you had a lovely lunch! It is so pretty in there, I'm glad to read another good review of it. We've been scared to try....
I loved your Cinco de Mayo meet. I wanted so much to be there, but I was banned from drinking due to a medication I was taking. So I avoided the meet altogether because I am not good at just saying NO to alcohol. You posted some great pictures of a lot of familiar faces. Looks like so much fun!
What a fun meet! We also liked San Angel. Can't wait to read what Hubby liked so much!
Found your TR a couple days ago and I am all caught up so now I feel I can comment. I commend you for your patience with your hubby. I don't think I could have in your position. Your photo session turned out really nice though. Your kids are really cute and I love all the dresses you have your little girl wearing. Your room at the BCV looked really nice, my brother and his family go fairly often and they really like it there too (but they stay in the regular resort not villas)
DH and I were there at the same time, well, we were there from the 2nd to 9th and it was definitely really hot and much more crowded than I was expecting it to be at that time of year. Maybe your next trip will be better in that there may be less crowds in October and therefore less lines for your hubby to wait in
My DH, who is just beginning to realize just what he is getting himself into LOL -(see sig for examples) was a little bit of a grump this last trip, though. I think it was due to the heat but a couple of the days as soon as we got there we wanted to find out when we could leave. I had a little more success than you did at keeping him there but I did miss Fantasmic because of it. I had told him I really wanted to see it but it wasn't until 9 and he wasn't feeling good and really wanted to go back to the room so that's what we did. Although I about killed him when a couple days later he asked me, "well, when is that show with the Characters on boats and the water and lights? I really wanted to see that one"
Thank you so much for sharing your vacation! Lovely photos! I am currently counting down the days till my next trip, although quite nervous because this will be 1st park trip with my disney-resistant husband. (He reluctantly agreed to go because I have been basically planning this since kids were born!) Glad to hear that this was not your last Disney trip!
The last time that I went to San Angel was in 2006. It was so bad That I've not been back. I love the atmosphere there, but the food not so much. It's really a shame because the first time that I ever ate there it was so good that I really wanted to go back. Maybe they have changed the menu & I need to try it again.
