9/12 great article ! Who am I to say no to going to WDW? - Page 43 - The DIS Discussion Forums

mylag1rl · 04-09-2009, 09:35 AM

The Easter Bunny letter was very cute. The Epcot plans look good too. Epcot has also grown on my family. Our first few trips we didn't spend as much time there but now we really like it. Soarin is one of my top 3 rides, too.

Love the pics from your other trips. The one of DH and Hannah walking down Main St with the castle in the background is priceless.

This picture says it all.

Your plans for Epcot sound wonderful. Epcot has become one of my favorites. My dh and I always plan two days at Epcot and two days at MK.

May you and your family have a Blessed Easter.

Thanks Anita! I try to catch them because I like them a lot!

Today was pretty here, too. It's supposed to storm again on Friday though.

I have the Soarin' music and listen to it anytime I need a pick-me-up!

They were visiting two sets of college friends- hit the World of Coke and some other stuff... they said it was crazy crowded.

I don't know what to do about A.'s hair. It isn't getting thicker, just curlier! I want to grow her bangs out, but I know it will be a disaster and I'm not sure I want to deal with it.

I'm thinking of cutting it shorter in the back to control the wild mess of curls back there.

I think at least now Emily's hair looks like I planned it to be short.... I know what you mean about the bang thing... she has the starts of bangs barely so I am going to try to avoid it. Then we will see!

If Hannah is nervous about the loud noise in the TT queue, bring some squishy ear plugs for her to wear!

They help Billy a lot!

I agree, Epcot is one park that has really grown on me, too!

Kathy

I think we need to get some ear plugs for Wishes too.

It breaks my heart how big they have gotten.... and yet it is fun to watch them grow!

Thanks! EPCOT seems to grow on Disney vets I think a lot!

I hope your family has a wonderful Easter too!

So today we took a rode trip to Indianapolis to the Children's Museum. It was tons of fun.... but work! My mom went with me and my sister in law and her mom joined for extra hands help. We sure needed it... thankful we will outnumber my kids at WDW! Plus the had a hard time two hours in the car.... I cannot imagine a drive to FL!

I bet you are even more thankful that you are flying now!

dddisrunner · 04-10-2009, 06:52 AM

Laura, I LOVED the update! The letter from the Easter Bunny is so sweet!

All the pictures were so cute but I LOVED the one from the back of your DS and DD!!

AlohaAnnie · 04-10-2009, 12:59 PM

I really like the pic of your DH and DD walking toward the castle, I need to remember to get a few pics like this! too cute

I like your plans for AK & Epcot, we did not think we would like Epcot as much as we do. MK & Epcot are our two favorites with DHS and AK coming in next.

I really like your plans. We are driving from Indiana to WDW also this year. In fact, I live about 25 minutes from the Indianapolis Childrens Museum and have been to Kings Island and Great Wolf Lodge in Ohio.

We are calling our driving our adventure.

Can't wait to hear more.

We I am sure will drive to WDW later... when the kids can handle it! We had fun in Indy-- and are excited that Kings Island opens next weekend!

IluvXU · 04-10-2009, 10:08 PM

So Monday we will be starting our countdown calendar- yea! We will be at 64 days! I can hardly believe it... it is actually going quick.

So after a week off... some thoughts I had:

I have to get our shirts made (we are doing a few iron ons)-- I hope to work on them this week or next

My sister in law is working on a project for the girls too... she is far more talented than me!

I need to finish paying off the trip... just waiting for gift cards

I need to check Disney visa points and gather $$ for the stroller rental

Double check our ADRs and Magical Express information

Buy an organizer for papers... and update my little tour book

I have started to take a look at the kids clothing. I feel pretty confident the kids have plenty of essentials.... yea!

I need to check my own clothing situation too!

I must admit I am proud I have not switched a single ADR or had true resort envy....we will see if I can make it another two months!

sneadae · 04-10-2009, 10:34 PM

Hello! I just wanted to say that I just finished reading your PTR. I am guessing you must be close to us...we are in Hamilton! It's funny, I think we were at the zoo the same day as your family.

I'll be following along! It's nice to know there are more Disney folks here in the area!!

Amazing! I'm proud of you, too!!

wigdoutdismom · 04-10-2009, 11:08 PM

Wow, you are doing well, if you just spent a week off and haven't called Disney Dining one time!

I called three times last Saturday.......

Charleston Princess · 04-11-2009, 07:31 AM

You are doing good with not changing ADRs or having resort envy!

I have managed to not call Disney this week either.

cjackearl · 04-11-2009, 07:37 AM

for no resort or ADR envy! I've left mine alone too, although I have about 3 ADRs I need to cancel..

Where did you find your iron ons?

I'm in desperate need for trip clothing, but I need to find time to go shopping ALONE, otherwise all my purchases seem to be for the kids.

Lady Lallie · 04-11-2009, 08:18 AM

Good job on the no resort envy or ADR switching. I can't even imagine not switching my ADRs.

It's one of my favorite pre-trip pastimes.

MegansMom · 04-11-2009, 08:43 AM

I'm all caught back up----love all the pictures you have shared!!! You guys sound REALLY set for Easter!!! I have everything ready for Meg's basket except a little candy. She is not much of a candy girl, so thankfully it will not take much to complete the basket! Your Epcot plans sound great!!!! Have a great Easter!
