OMG, I'm loving this TR already
Those excited faces!!! I don't know about you, but I love reading about the journey to WDW! It makes me feel excited and I'm not sure for what... To read your TR? To go to Disney myself? I don't know, there's just something really exciting about seeing pre-Disney photos!
I'm not nearly a frequent flyer so I made the mistake of packing the sunscreen (2 large tubes and 2 aerosol cans) in the carry-on. I didn't realize it was considered a liquid so it was confiscated by TSA right then and there. $30 bucks worth of sunscreen gone.
Oh noooo, we've all been there!!!
The Southwest flight crew were their usual sarcastic selves. I'm probably in the minority but I'm not really a fan.
HUH?! I don't know much about Southwest airlines, what is it that they do?!
We arrived just in time to get the last spots on the bus heading to Yacht Club. We were seated in the first row that is normally reserved for guests with disabilities so I got this unobstructed view:
Well, except for the giant dead bug on the windshield.
Awesome!!! Hopefully that bug was just hitching a ride to the most magical place on earth..
I know that's what I would do if I was a bug
I had made a couple of FPs for the afternoon at Epcot but the boys wanted to go in the pool. I couldn't blame them after the winter we had so that's what we did. We changed into our suits and headed down to Stormalong Bay!
A great decision!
It was pretty hot so Jamie and I split a margarita from Hurricane Hanna's.
This sounds like the perfect start to a vacation
The No Way Jose was the best part of it. We absolutely destroyed it and nearly fought over every bite. Sammy looks like he wants to dive in here:
Ahhh you guys!!! I have No Way Jose envy!! I don't know if you remember from my TR, but Jamie doesn't like peanut butter, so we split the fudge mudslide instead.. BOY I wish we had just gotten one each! Even just the thought of peanut butter and ice cream makes my mouth water
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Great shot of the four of you! And Colleen you look lovely
From your first picture in your PTR I just imagined you looking completely different! But I love the blonde hair on you!
I'm not sure how I feel about Memory Maker. I purchased it before the price went up so I paid $149. I tried to get as many photo opportunities as possible. Some of the photographers were better than others but I look at most of the photos and think I could have done better with my camera and I'm not even that good with it.
This is such a shame. I like the ones you've posted so far though!
The boys were tired so they sprawled on the ground and played with their new toys while we waited for the show.
Aww this photo makes me feel so nostalgic! This was me as a kid at the nighttime shows, I was a sucker for those light up toys!!!
GREAT shots!!! Fireworks and night shots are my downfall in my pictures I think. Did you use your DSLR? Maybe I need to make an investment.
Did you find it easy to use / learn?
Love this lobby
it's so fancy shmancy!
We are scheduled to arrive at MCO at 12:20. I'm guessing we'll get to YC around 2 or later. There's a decent chance that the room will be ready but we'll have suits in our carry-on for the pool anyway. We have fast passes for Spaceship Earth at 3:40 and the Seas at 4:40 which we may or may not use. I think this afternoon will go one of two ways: the boys will see the pool and we won't be able to drag them away or they will be lured to Epcot to spend their gift cards in the Japanese store. I'm fine either way. At 6:40 we have an ADR for Beaches & Cream where we will split a No Way Jose. Lastly we have a FP for Illuminations to close out the day.
You nailed it!!!! You obviously know your kids well
It's a beautiful weekend and I should be outside doing yard work but all I want to do is work on my TR.
I love this
I love writing my TR too! It's good to know I'm not the only person who passes up time outdoors to write about Disney
I was tempted to tell them it was because I burned my fingerprints off that time I robbed a bank.
HAHA!! With a straight poker face and a blank stare this would have been perfect
Love this, especially Sammy's face!!!
Amazing! You guys are an adorable family
The boys loved this ride so much we did it a second time. They would have kept going but I had to put a stop to the madness. I was completely soaked as you can see in these PP pictures:
Again, adorable family! (I'm a sucker for a family shot
) And oh girl, I feel you on the hair front!!! Mine is a DISASTER in Florida! And you went on Kali TWICE already ?! That is two times too many in my opinion!
I always come off completely soaked!! Sounds like the boys enjoyed it though, and that's all that matters I guess
Great updates, can't wait to hear more!
