We hit Downtown Disney in our Mafia car at around 1:30 pm. We locked all our lugguge, DS's, etc in the trunk and headed into the Westside. Once we got our bearings at the map/sign thingamajig, we headed to the water taxi over to Marketplace. Again, Josh was most impressed. :lovestruc A...

I will be adding pictures and video as I go along. Our house is in a state of chaos right now and we're rearranging furniture. As soon as we get the "big" pc hooked up to the new wi-fi, I'll be doing the photobucket thang. This little laptop has it's perks, but speedy loading of pictures...

One week ago today, the kids and I were at Downtown Disney. As much as I overspent on this vacation, I'm SOOOO glad I did. We had the best time. I'm almost tempted to book another one, but A) it's not in our budget, and B) I don't think we could duplicate this trip, no matter how hard we...

:rotfl2: Well the beer would have been for dh and my dad, but we were all so wiped out every night I didn't bother buying any.

I can't wait to go now! I hadn't heard the bag advice, so thanks for sharing that tidbit. Sounds like it was a fun trip!

Awww, thank you!! Forgive my delinquency in posting.

I'm a slacker, but I have excuses. :flower3: School has been kicking my butt this semester. I ended up dropping Sci Fi literature once I realized that all Sci Fi isn't H G Wells and Star Wars. I got offered Honors credit in my Econ class, which means more work. And my Documentation class...

Our next stop was Buzz's Spaceranger Spin for Fastpasses, then to see Stitch. I'd heard it was scary for smaller kids, so I was taking a risk here with Mike. Fortunately, he loved it. The darn shoulder bar-thing didn't come down past the top of his head for some reason, so maybe he didn't get...

Now that we had our stroller, I discovered we could travel a lot faster. I was overjoyed. I also decided we needed to get the heck away from Main Street, as people were starting to camp out for the parade. First we stopped for some cotton candy, then I forced my poor feet into power walking...

Moving right along.... We now found ourselves approaching the Haunted Mansion. This was Kaiya's one MUST DO attraction. By now we were spoiled by all the walk on's we'd done so far, so we both freaked a little when we saw the h-u-g-e line. :eek: It was crazy. Just as I was trying to...

Thank you! Yes, my kids have perfected the art of embarrassing me. I'll get my payback when they're teenagers. lol

At some point in here, Kaiya talked me into buying her more jewelry. This time it was a Tink necklace with a little tube of Pixie Dust. Oh, well. You only live once. ;) Now it was time for a Jungle Cruise. Once again, the kids started acting up. Michael was sick of boats too...

After all the griping about train rides, all the whining Kai and I endured from Michael, what ride did he want to go on first? This one: :rolleyes: It was only a 10 minute wait, which includes walking through 9 minutes of maze to get to the front of the empty line. We all got to sit...

Posts 2 and 7 each have an extra picture. They're off my phone, so obviously not the best pics on earth. Actually, I had "new camera" problems all the way around. It wasn't until the last day that I finally figured out how to focus after zooming. :mad: And of course it's hard to see how...

The next morning I was up at 6:30, hell-bent on making ropedrop. Of course, I'd also been up at 11 pm, 1:30 am, and 4:30 am, due to our room's alarm clock being a little wonky. :headache: I got dressed, started the coffee maker, and took myself out on the balcony to smoke, call dh, and...

After finding our car with surprising ease, I made an executive decision that lesser parents may have shied away from: instead of going directly back to the hotel, we'd go out to dinner. The former Western Sizzlin', now Sizzlin' Grill, was right across the street from the hotel. I knew...

While exiting Mission Space, I noticed this little number: Wouldn't Mickey consider that genocide? ;) Then we ambled off, looking for The Seas. I knew the kids would love it, so I was excited to see them experience it. On our way, we passed Ellen's Universe of Energy: Which...

I have a weird habit: I give my kids nicknames. Not just one nickname each, but many. Kota, for example, has spent his life being called Stu, Lou, Stuey-Lou, and Smalls (before he got taller than me!). Josh is Fingers Negron (his Mafia name :rotfl2:) and Mr. Joshenheimer. Kaiya is...

Our next stop was a trip down memory lane. :cloud9: I have a picture of my 15 yr old, Kota, in this same spot, doing the same thing when he was 7. It's funny how time flies. Our next stop was the boat to Germany to pick up some candy for my husband. He was an army brat, so he spent...

I try to keep an open mind, but somehow those nails just struck me as ludicrous. I bite mine, so maybe I'm just jealous. :lmao:
