Ah yes, I am a veteran of the diaper changing tables in Toon Town
. All too familiar. Let me ask you, is he potty training at all? Did training or not play into your trip? I had really wanted to have Brady PTd by our trip. It will also be his third birthday. We are working on it now. He has crazy bowel movements so we are having some difficulty. I swear he will be diagnosed with IBS or something worse as an adult. Anyway, I just really want to be down to diapering only one by that trip. Otherwise it is so many diapers and so many stops each day. Let me know your thoughts.
Nope, no potty training yet. I didn't do it before the trip at all because we had just moved/gotten settled here - I didn't want to introduce something else. I attempted just after the trip and he is soooooooooo not into it. Not even a little bit. He loves the underwear I bought him, and I even told him we'd go on Mickey's Boat (a cruise! I promised the kid a cruise!
), which he's really excited about - but still, nope, no potty.
Someday!
Wish I could help though! I do believe Jill (BrooklynnsMommy) was in the midst of potty training Brooklynn on one of their past trips and she was just really diligent about stopping more often and it went really smoothly.
Yay for your mom! how wonderful.
Love the update. I do hope to make back to Toontown before it closes too. I want to really take in some more of the house details like you did.
I truly thought Toontown would be closed by now, I'm so glad it's not! Maybe they are going to keep it open through the new year?
Great updates, Brook. I love that you spent so much time in Toontown. It is so sad to see it go. But as you said, we're looking forward to the future too. Henry takes the cutest pictures. Have you been showing him the pics of "my Grumpy" with all the hat pics?
P.S. I sent you a PM.
I am sad to see it go, it's such a cute area, but I very, very much look forward to the new! It will be great! I hope they keep the houses somewhere in the park though, they are adorable.
I haven't shown any of your pics to Henry, but I should! He'd LOVE them!!!! I think I'll have to do that tomorrow morning when I get caught up on your thread!
I haven't read/replied to any PMs, but I'll do that quick here after I post this.
Oh wow! Fabulous news about your Mom!!! I love that picture of her in epcot! Too cute!!!
Isn't she looking awesome? She has gotten better looking with age! Seriously! I hope I'm that hot when I'm in my 60s!
I tell her that and she just groans at me, but really!
She loved Epcot - they didn't ever really stop to eat anywhere (first question I asked
), but snacked their way through. She looks forward to going back!
Not sure how I missed the news about your mom but "YAAAAAA!!!!" That is great news!
Your day sounded fabulous!!! I am so hoping the houses are still there when we go in December... If not you may see a grown woman cry!
I'm so thrilled for her! She's already started working on her 2 year plan - throwing out stuff she doesn't need, downsizing her life, saving money, paying debt, etc.!
I really hope they are still there in December! My guess is since they aren't gone yet, they will remain through to the new year. The parks are SO BUSY over Christmas, I can't imagine them having a whole land closed.
But, who knows! I haven't heard any rumors or anything about it at all yet. Seems like no one has recently!
for the update
Has she ever been to the world before?
I look forward to taking her to MK with Henry sometime though!
). Anyway, we had Thanksgiving dinner with them one year and they ALL agreed it was the best change they could ever have made. I'm sure your mom will feel the same way. It's such a liberating change.
about BLT! I'm so far behind on the DIS from not having much time lately/being too tired to read. I will get over there ASAP!
We left him a nice big tip, that covered the meal, plus his tip. CM's like this, really make what is special about WDW.
