Wow Brook, so many great updates
My computer has been down for DAYS and I was surprised to get back on and see so many great pictures and updates! Looks like you all are having a great time despite the crazy crowds
I've been trying to update as much as I can, I gotta get this baby done before the end of August and we are still in WDW!
We really did have a great time, despite the crowds. I think our EPCOT day was my favorite - the weather was beautiful, we could manage the crowds, everyone was loving it.
I love it when you do a bunch of updates!
Henry is so cute! Those pictures of him playing on the firetruck and the story of him saying "Cha, Dude!" to everyone as they left are just adorable!
You found a Donald pinata just like the one on the Mexico ride!!!
Great pictures of the Christmas decorations all around World Showcase! Glad the crowds didn't get you too down, but it sure does look busy there!
When Henry found that Donald that is EXACTLY what I thought - if only Henry remembered that the kids are trying to beat him in the ride.
I never quite understood that!
It really was busy, busy in EPCOT, but it was manageable because EPCOT is so big and there is always a less crowded space. I'm glad we kept this park for the last park day we had.
Yay, I am loving all the updates! you are making me very excited to go to Kidani at Christmas. Except for the crowds
Love all the pics-such a fun trip!
Kidani is beautiful at Christmas! I think it's an excellent choice for the season, it's warm and welcoming and cozy - exactly what you crave when it's cool outside. The crowds are intense...but manageable if you plan, plan, plan and just roll with the punches. It's worth it IMO!
The updating queen!
I am amazed at all you did this day despite a late start and the crowds.
The VOL singers were amazing... I would love to hear them sing holiday tunes!
We got a lot done this day - we missed things that we wanted to do, like SE and TT, but overall, we covered enough that we didn't feel like we missed the park like AK.
Voices of Liberty were awesome! I was in awe.
I just started hyperventilhating when I saw this!!!! I AM completely stoked this will work, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart, Brook!!!
YES!! We are meeting at 10:00 at the entrance to the Pangani Forest Trail for a stroll through and then???? I will be solo, so am completely open to whatever!!
I think I"m going to shoot for an ADR at Yand Y since Flame Tree won't be up and running. I think I'll try for one at 12:00.
I WANT A CORN DOG MEET!!!! I'm going to PM you!!! This is simply too good to be true!!
I'm excited to meet you!!! I have to purchase TGM or the UG to figure out our touring days, I usually go by what they say is the best parks....Joe isn't a huge fan of AK or the trails at AK because he can't see it all very well due to his low vision, so meeting people on the trail might make it more fun for him and would convince him to actually take the trail.
I LOVE the idea of a Corn Dog meet, of course!!!! Love, love, love that!!
So many updates!! You are good! 
I love all of the WS touring you guys did... taking your time and just wandering through. I am hugely impressed with Joe going back to the resort to download the pictures and then coming back to meet you all. That was so nice of him!
I'm glad Soarin worked out so that all of you could go... can't believe the FP's were gone when you got there! That's crazy!
We are going to Bindergarten in Aug so I am interested to see what you thought of it....
It really was very nice of him to do that! It took quite a while too, I want to say over 2 hours total. He said he took a nap on the bus though, so it wasn't all bad.
The FPs disappeared very quickly that day...I think we tried to get TT ones at some point too, but they were gone as well. I wish I could remember what the wait time and if the FPs were gone for Malestorm...I've never waited for than 5 minutes for it and I remember wanting to look at it, but we just breezed right over Norway due to the crowds.
Biergarten update should be coming up soon - maybe today if a certain little boy allows me the time!
Just got on board. I am loving your trip report! And I'm also from Minnesota!
I'm all caught up and can't wait to read more!
Thank you for reading!!! And
for a Minnesotan! Even though I'm a New Yorker now, MN will always be "home base" because that is where our family is!
Brook,
Thanks for the great updates and pictures. Henry is getting so big and he is such a cutie.
Kathy
Can you believe how big he's getting?!?! Just this morning I think he looks older than yesterday.
I can't believe he's going to be 3 in just 2 months.
Great updates Brook!! Love the pic with Henry standing next to the fire truck
Love the shopping through WS!! We did not do a lot of browsing this last trip & it was just DH & I. I thought we would have all kinds of time & I still did not browse like I would have liked. Did you buy anything that day??
Too funny about the naps. That is certainly a show that a lot of people "rest up"
That little boy loves that firetruck! I look forward to letting him play on it in September!
I don't think we bought anything...surprisingly! I know KK and Poppa did. Joe and I aren't huge on souvies, we only get a small amount each trip. But, I really do want to try food from every country, I tell myself that every trip and never buy anything!
YAYAYAYAY~ for Mary Poppins!! One of my favorite classic Disney movies!! Enjoy, Brook!
Mine too! I've wanted to see it on Broadway since it came out, I'm so excited she chose it! I actually know a gal in the chorus too, but haven't spoken to her since 2006...and we were more "friends of friends" than we knew each other, so I don't think she'd remember me...I hope she's performing tonight!
