Oh the places We Go, The People We see

I was there during the day many times on our trip. But it was alway so busy that I still don't feel like I have "seen" the area. I need another shot at it when it isn't packed to the gills. The closest we came was during the AM EMH. It wasn't empty then, but Gaston's Tavern pretty much was. I'm glad we "wasted" our early time this way. I only say "wasted" because on paper I would never tell anyone to use an EMH that way. But it's probably the only way to get a low crowd experience in there right now. And probably the only way to get nice photos in that chair!

LOVE you guys in your Mary Poppins costumes. You're adorable and I bet you'll talk about that night when Claire has kids of her own one day!

The Little Mermaid Ride seems to be as troublesome in the maintenance department as Test Track was. I have had three multi-day stays at Disneyland now and managed to do the ride twice. It is very cute though.

Corinna

It is. Someone on another board has since told me that they now have a line for him. That seems to make much more sense to me.
Yes the Ariel ride seems to have a lot if issues. I thought it had actually been done for quite awhile too, so you would think it would have it's kinks worked out, especially after having DL's up and running for quite some time.

Thats too funny!

I have heard it's been packed for the most part. It will take a while before we get those nice empty shots I bet.
I totally understand wasting time there. You have to go when you can and not wait 3 hours for everything.

Claire loved our matching costumes. But she will never grow up, she's my baby, so I don't know what you mean by her having kids!

So then Paige and Michael have agreed to provide you with enough grandkids?

I think I'm going to have to let Katie grow up. I'm not getting any younger. And I'm leaning toward believing Robbie and Timmy when they say they are never getting married and having kids. They are 17 and 19, and so far no girlfriends, no dates, no proms.

But after seeing what turmoil that has caused some of their friends, I'll take the alternative!

We've decided Katie will probably be the first one here to even GO on a date!

[that's nice]

You and Brook take the best (and most) pictures!

More meets huh? And you are on day what, 2 of your trip? I wonder how many people you meet ....

[kalel29]

Do to my busy life, it took me 3 days to finally catch up on your TR. I just realized that after 26 pages we are still on day 2 of your trip!! Can't wait to hear about the rest...

Yes. Paige will have the grand kids. I've decided that.

Michael likes girls, it's getting them to like him thats the problem.

We take a lot yes. I have a bit of a problem. It seems I can never take enough. And you know how important it is to get the same shot every time you go.
Yep still day 2. I am trying to get this day wrapped up so I can get closer to the day I meet up with one of the most famous "Disers" ever!
I meet some of less importance in between then. Just kidding of course, I was happy to meet everyone I met along the way.

I do post a LOT of pictures, plus I am slow. I do try to give lots of details ...that is when I remember then. Old age is catching up to me fast!

So Paige is aware of this, right? Just tell her all your friends on the DIS took a vote and decided she's the official supplier of Jen's grandbabies!

WHAT! Tell her that's a NO GO!

Boys are great and all. But for Disney purposes...... she needs GIRLS!
