Congrats to Emmy! The ring is beautiful.
I love your trip reports.
I am from Canada (Vancouver, BC) and also struggle not to cry while Eva Avila sings.
I thought I saw somewhere that you have an April/May trip planned? I will be in WDW May 3-10th (not in the parks until the 4th). Am I actually going to be in WDW when the famous emmysmommy will be?
Hi there KittyKatty! Thank you for the kind comment!
Ahhh I've been to your neck of the Canadian woods! At least Victoria BC. We saw the famous Empress Hotel and the parliament (?yes?) building and the harbor. It was a great day there.
I want to download that song since it is so lovely and of course it reminds me of Epcot!
Yes, you read right. I'm in WDW from the end of April to the 8th.
I'm traveling with my DH this time and no Emmy but I'll be there with another couple of Dis friends. You'll have to say hi if we run into each other or if you know you'll be in a certain park on a certain day let me know!
Thanks for joining in and reading!
So exciting and crazy that Emily is engaged! Her ring is gorgeous!!!! Congrats to her and you!
I know, right? Thanks Rachel. You are sweet.
I'm so behind in reading your trips reports but I knew I had to stop by and see what all the commotion was about. How exciting that Emily is getting married. Sounds like your family is very excited about it. I loved planning my wedding and it was a great time in my life. I hope it is extra special. And, I think you'd be the coolest Grandma to have in the world (not that I'm suggesting they have kids yet... they should wait until they are ready)... A Disney grandma would be like heaven.
Now, back to your reports... I need to catch up...
UGH... about the maid washing one cup in the dishwasher. Seriously, I know they have more rain in Florida but that is wasteful. Thank goodness we got some rain in Northern California TODAY (it is still dry but better than before). It looks like a really good one for the foothills. I did learn the other day Southern California gets their water from Colorado. I did not know that until I connected the dots with the Hoover Dam. LOL...
Thank you! We are thrilled to be able to plan a wedding...sometime next year maybe.
Ha ha! I
could be a grandma from my other kids that have been married for a number of years but thanks!
We were supposed to get some rain mid week too but it didn't happen. I think you guys hogged it all!
We do need it though. I think we get water from the Colorado river and the Sierra Nevada snow melts... I had to google that since I knew the CO river was a source. You made me curious and now I'm smarter than I was 3 minutes ago!
Hello!! I am still here!!
LOVE BLT...hopefully we will be staying there in the next few trips!
Congrats to Em on her engagement! I'm glad that you guys will still be taking your mother/daughter trips! They seem so special! I'm also curious to know if Jordan has been to WDW?!
Hi Kimmy! Glad to still see you here!
Seeing as how you are a new DVC owner I'd say you are pretty luck to be able to select a resort to stay and just pay points!
BLT is a great option. One of my favorites.
Thank you! We are thrilled. Jordan has not been to WDW. He's a
Disneyland regular since they have APs for the local parks.
Ok... just a tip if you DO decide to become an honorary Canadian: Not all of us eat poutine (I do, on very rare occasions!), not everyone can speak French (oops, I can do that too) and we measure in imperial sometimes too! EEEK!
Hahahaha
I am torn in the rain, if I have a poncho with me, I might wait it out for a bit, but a lot of times I head out too. So I totally understand!
Ha ha! Glad to know that poutine is not a requirement. I'd do much better now. I just may fit in after all if I brush up on my French.
I am rather a rainy weather wimp so if in doubt we just head in. Plus it gives a break in the day that we need since we usually have late dinners and some later park times. The older I get the more attractive naps sound!
Coming out of lurkdom...
First, congrats to your daughter! I was married at 21 to the man I met and began dating at 16. Everyone thought we were crazy and too young, but here we are 13 years later with a beautiful family, a great life, and I couldn't be happier. I wish nothing but the best for her!
Second, I just love your TR! We were at Disney and saw you in Epcot at La Cantina de San Angel. I wanted to say hello but never got up the nerve.
Hi TinyCheeks (Kelly)! I'm so very glad to see you joining. Thank you for letting me know that you are reading.
THANK YOU for sharing your story and those encouraging words. So sweet of you.
Oh my gosh!!! That was from our December trip. Awww you should have said hi, I would have loved that!
Did you see me making faces from the churros and caramel sauce we had just tried? Oh man, if you saw us being goofy that is too funny. I loved eating inside that place.
Thanks again for joining in.
