    Joanne - Wow! I want to thank you so incredibly much. You are definitely my very favorite person for today! I just might have to print up your post and stick it on the bulletin board to read on those days when I feel like I can't do anything right. (You know those days - I think they're...

    lucky - thanks so much for reading along! Obviously that pesky thing called life got in the way this weekend and I didn't finish my entry for our Sunday at Epcot. Hopefully this week. Keep your fingers crossed! bennythepug - my big old DH even squeezed in there for a picture I didn't post...

    Suzflee - Thank you so much for the positive remarks! I'm glad people are enjoying my enthusiasm. It's driving me to plan my next trip already - Dec., 2008. I think it's funny that you think I planned well. Now that I've come back to read this board, I realize how much better I could...

    wahoostampingirl - I'm hoping to go every couple of years or so for the same reason - no more decades long Disney dry spells in this family! Nicole - those speeders are directly across from Star Tours in MGM. Katie

    Peace Mickey Lovers - Thanks! I hope to get another one done soon. Don't tell the boss...maybe I can get one done at work on a slow day later this week. Otherwise hopefully this weekend. Princessjv - yes, it was nice to have something special with my stepmom. Like most step-relatives...

    Chapter 4: Saturday at MGM I’m actually going to start this chapter on Friday night. After the kids came back to the hotel room from the pool, DS felt sick. My kids and my brother: Sure enough, he tossed his cookies. Poor little guy! I was so upset for him. The next day was our...

    Okay - I have one postscript to my last day before I compose my next entry. I can't believe I forgot this! When we were in the Splash Mountain line, there were a couple of boys in line with us who looked to be about 16 or so. They both had on black t-shirts. One had shaggy hair (I don't...

    NicoleMarie - Her problem is she knows she's cute. There are so many times that her actions make me look at her face and search for the cuteness. Where'd it go? I remember thinking it was there, but I just can't see it when she's being a brat! Proudmommy - IMHO, these are the...

    Photo Chick - I would not advise anyone against doing BBB and then CRT. As a matter of fact, it was as great princess theme day for her to be primped as a princess and then go hang with some. I would advise to try and put a little more time between BBB and CRT than I did. And, of course...

    MTMommy: Don't you feel a little bad for the fairy godmother? It seems to me that in the eyes of all those little girls, she just can't compete with all that princess glamour! sharkb8: Thank you! She's sick on the couch right now. Still hasn't bounced back from some little bug she...

    Kim - Thank you! She looks just like her daddy. He's a fine looking man, but very masculine. You'd never think you could put that mug on a baby girl's face and have it all come out looking alright, but somehow she's okay. :confused: (Just wait til later in the trip though when she has some...

    Will you all indulge me a little bit? I have to brag a little more on the wonderful luck we had at CRT. Our table was right up against those beautiful, tall, arched windows. I had to take a picture of the back of the castle from the outside so I could figure out where we were when we ate...

    Chapter 3: Our First Full Day We arrived at MK the next day before the gates open and I have my game plan to grab the first CM I see and find out where the BBB is so that we will be on time for our 10:30 appointment. I figure we can even do a few rides before then. I should have...

    We are not far from you, OhMari. We are in Wisconsin, too. South Milwaukee, to be exact. Both DH and I were raised here and now we're raising our kids here, too. I am a UW-Madison alum, so I know approximately where Lomira is. I frequent scrapbooking message boards a lot and have done...

    I would've been thrilled if one person said they wanted to hear my story. Thanks to every single one of you for replying! I could add lots (& lots & lots) of pictures if I could figure out how to post them in the gallery? I know how to post the link here within the thread. I just don't see...

    How do you post images in the photo gallery?

    I'm doing a trip report and I'd like to put in photos. But when I go into the Photo Gallery, I don't see an option to post an image. I post images on scrapbooking websites all the time. So I know, in theory, how to do it. I just can't seem to even find the option to do it here. I even...

    Thanks for anyone who read this and to all who replied. I kind of feared no one would be interested in our trip. And I want to share my newfound love of Disney with those who would understand. On with the show: Chapter 2: Departure 3 am on Thursday, Feb. 22nd and I am awakened by the...

    I need a Photopass update from those who have been lately

    Cool! Thanks for that info - that gives me a few extra days obviously. I was considering account creation and photo claim as the same thing. I understand now why they are not. Katie
