Welcome Back Lesley!! That sure was an awesome MK morning. Good thing you went on IASW when you did, those lines sure did pile up!!
It was crazy, nope, couldn't ruin our Disney day. Hope you have fun!!!Wow what a crazy bus driver! But Im glad that didn't ruin your great disney day! I can't wait to be there in 2 weeks!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks! Yes, I will do a TR on that one : )An update from Lesley, an update from Lesley!!
I loved it, take no offense tim, you did GREAT
while Les was away!! Wow, all I can say is you
guys have the BEST trips ever, I enjoy reading
each and every experience, the pictures are
awesome, all of them!!! Another trip soon, sigh,
hope your planning a TR on that one as well!!!
It was a great day, sure did!!!What a great Disney day! Too bad it ended poorly with the CRAZY bus driver! I'll bet you made up for it the next day though, huh?
I know, bring summer back now please. Glad you loved both updates. Fred was AWFUL!Oh, Lesley... I am feeling SOOOO Swamped, like you. Can we PLEASE have the summer back?!!
Unfortunately, I'm going to have to do a generic reply to the past two updates.
First.. LOVE Tim's update... it is 11:23 at night, and I'm on the computer laughing out loud! It sounds like the heat was just BRUTAL! Glad you guys were able to have a good time in spite of it.
The Japanese restaurant looked wonderful. And how special that you got to share your last time with Diane and family. You all got to make some truly special DisMemories!
Thanks for squeezing in another update. I know how hard that is! (I did one tonight.. hence, the late hour) Cannot BELIEVE Fred the bus driver. I just can't imagine that really happening, but I don't know you to be a liar.. so I'm gonna go ahead and believe it!!
Hope things are going well!
Another great update as usual
It sound like you had such an awesome day.
I could not believe how big the line for Small World got within minutes...that is nuts
LeCellier looks so good
I can't believe what a crazy driver Fred was....am so glad they reported him
Thanks, yeah just gonna be one of those years : )Great update!
I'm sorry to hear that school is still crazy-busy. Sometimes it does get better, but sometimes you just have to wait out the year!
Glad you enjoyed them. Yes, I'll do one for Oct. no worries ; )Great updates from both you and Tim! I'm sorry they are about to come to an end. Any chance you will do a TR for your Oct trip?
Glad you enjoyed it. I definitely preferred AKV for tons of reasons, I compare them in this TR on our first SSR day.Hi Lesley! Another great update. Thank you for sharing with us. I do have a question, which villa did you prefer, the AKV or SSV? Which one did you think had more room? We are on a quest for a DVC timeshare and are having a hard time deciding which one. Thanks for the answers.
It certainly was a magical day. Glad you enjoyed the update.Dumbo first thing in the morning. Sweet.
Definitely the only way to do fantasyland. I have similar feelings on the carousel. Last time I sat there waiting for the ride to start, looked at the smile on the kids faces, and the great view of the castle. Took a pic with the tent of the carousel "framing" a shot of the back of the castle.
Thanks for increasing the desire for Le Cellier, Love that place.
The fun of the World showcase shows. Love them all!
It was a horrible driver but yes an INCREDIBLE day. Hope you get to do Dumbo before they change it.I can't believe that driver was so horrible! That's very un-Disney-like! I hope Fred has gone on to drive somewhere else.
But on a happier note, it sounds like an INCREDIBLE day at Disney World! I've never ridden Dumbo either, maybe we will this trip... And I must say, Epcot is my VERY favorite park too What an awesome day!
Great update as always. Love the MK pics especially the ones from Cinderella's carousel. Looks like a great night in Epcot. We love Le Cellier. Lauren looks adorable and I love her dress too. Glad Luke was able to complete all the KP missions.
The pretzel bread is amazing, do they really have it at Whole Foods??Sounded like a great Disney Day!!
I love that pretzel bread!!! The really exciting thing is I found a place to buy it at home. They sell it at Whole Foods in the bakery, it's amazing!!!

Glad you enjoyed the update, yes, the countdown for October is ON!!!Hey Leslie!!! Thanks for updating us even though you have been swamped. I am so sorry it has been such a busy time at work. At least you can keep an eye on the prize of Disney in like 37 days or so.
It looks like a great morning at MK nothing like walking on to Dumbo. Your night also looked great at EPCOT despite the crazy bus driver.
Thanks, it was nice to be missed. Yes, we were rockin' and rollin' that morning. Luke was VERY proud : )Hi, Lesley! We've missed you, too!
Lauren is too cute with "pixie dust" in her hair and all ready to open the Magic Kingdom! I think we need Mickey confetti to start everyday!
I could just feel the early morning peace as you rode Dumbo and gazed at the Castle! So perfect!
A five-minute wait for the Jungle Cruise? You were rockin' and rollin' that morning!
Le Cellier always looks so good -- I think I may need to try that chocolate whiskey cake!
Hurray for Luke completing all the missions! That's awesome!
I absolutely cannot believe that bus driver!!! I am so glad Tim and the other guy reported him because that is unacceptable driving and behavior!
The mushroom fillet is the BEST!!!Looks like a perfect Disney day to me! Start with rope drop and end with Le Cellier's mushroom filet! Great!
We can just try and skip over the crazy driver....only remembering the good parts!
New York Disney Store (Diane hooked me up prior to our trip and I gave it to Tim for Father's DayOMG where did you get that shirt?????
Glad you enjoyed it. Towing coming up today.What a wonderful update and a true Disney Day!! Yikes on the bus though! I am so glad that Tim went and said something. YOu all looked like you had a great evening at Le Cellier and with KP! I can't wait to try the KP Missions next week! We skipped them over our June/July trip, so I am looking forward to trying it out this time.
Can't wait to hear about the Towing??!!
Glad you enjoyed both updates. Thanks for reading/posting.Great updates Tim and Lesley !
Tim - your updates are just hysterical.
Lesley - I know exactly what you mean by closing your eyes and trying to savor a vacation moment. One that will get you threw bad days. I do the same thing on vacation.
Thanks for the warm welcome back, glad you enjoyed it. Yes, let's come back as ducks : )Yay Leslie is back!!! Enjoyed the update from Tim also!!. Looks like you had a wonderful day. I love your comment about the ducks in Epcot. I always feel the same way when I see them. I want to come back as a duck & live at Disney World!! Ah Le Cellier my favorite!! What a great day you had!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Sorry about your sister and her family, just don't gt that. No, no shrunken head : )You two make a great pair!!
What fantastic days you shared with us. AND what's great is, that even after 17 days at Disney, everyone still looks like they've just arrived! I was hoping my sister and her family would've fallen in love with our beloved Disney World, but alas, they just had fun. Not LOVEY LOVE LOVED it, can't wait to go back kinda fun. Not spend 21 days kinda fun, go back twice/three times a year kinda fun.
Looking forward to more fun filled Tiim and Lesley days! Sorry you had the driver from Harry Potter driving you home that night! Did he have a shrunken head hanging from the rearview mirror???
We did have a great trip. SOOOO excited about October, 26 days baby!!!Boy you had some really great days this time. Sounds like a fantastic trip. I know you are getting so excited about October!
Glad you enjoyed it, HAVE A GREAT TRIP!!!loving the update Lesley!!! It has me so very excited!! We leave tomorrow!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, get your DH on board baby! : )Reading you report just makes me want to go to WDW even more. Wish my DH was onboard...
Welcome back, I only have a few updates left, one more coming tonight.Just have to say, I've haven't been back in a while, b/c I've been busy and (the real reason) I don't want it to end.
We're moving this week, in fact I'm losing my internet for a few days then i be here to read r-e-a-l s-l-o-w!
Glad you enjoyed it.Sounds like a perfect Disney Day!!!!!!!!!!
So glad they reported that bus driver! I would have been so mad too!
What a great Magic Kingdom morning. I am glad you got to ride Dumbo, I love that ride.
It was such a great day, glad you enjoyed the update, thanks for reading/posting.Great Update! What a wonderful MK day! I'm sorry about that driver - I can't believe how scarey that is! I'm glad Tim reported him, and I hope he was fired immediately! It is bad enough that there are not seat belts or car seats for the children, yet alone someone driving like that.
Thanks for taking the time to post!
Glad you enjoyed the updates. If I could only choose one I would choose France, but they are all SO great!!!All caught up! What a great couple of Disney days!! I am so jealous- you guys had such a great time!
Can't get over the difference between Fantasyland before and after lunch! Goodness that line for IASW grew!!
Sorry about all that heat. I am getting a bit concerned about the humidity for my upcoming trip but heck I'll put the hair in a ponytail and order a slushie.
Hurrah for completing all the KP missions. Do you or Luke have a favorite? If I can only do one, which should I choose?
I will keep an eye out for Fred the bus driver... hope I don't see him.
Thanks for the warm welcome!Welcome Back Lesley!! That sure was an awesome MK morning. Good thing you went on IASW when you did, those lines sure did pile up!!
Hi Alice, I am not looking forward to those teen years with our kids, glad it snapped her out of it. Too funny about Sophie and her homework, another update coming tonight : )Welcome back, Leslie! Totally enjoyed the update! MK in the early morning with no crowds is awesome! Sorry Tim wasn't up to joining you that morning. Oh, how I would love an early morning at MK and an evening at Epcot right now. My two very favorite places to be at those times of the day.
I love the cheesy Jungle Cruise too. We went on it at night this summer and that was a lot of fun. Abby got to "pilot" the boat. Got her out of her grumpy mood for a few minutes. I know, I know, who can be grumpy at WDW? (Besides one of Snow White's dwarves) A tired almost-13-year-old, that's who. Luckily that was our only grumpy moment on that trip.
Sophie read your update for her reading homework last night. She had finished a book the night before and couldn't find anything in our vast library of kid's books that she wanted to read. She saw me reading your report and asked if she could read that instead of trying to find a book. Of course I said yes! So what can you do about getting another one up there for us for tonight?! Ha ha!
Hang in there and we'll just be happy to get another update whenever you or Tim have time to get it out there for all of us.
Glad you are all caught up, another update coming tonight. Have fun in the World, bet Europe was amazing!Hi,
All caught up and way too much to comment on. AKL looks wonderful.
Your pics are great.
Sorry Tim's knee was bothering him.
The day with boys and girls looked like fun.
Should stay caught up, I do go tot he World in 2 weeks but only for 5 days.
We did go to Europe. If you want to read the tr click the link in my signature. Of course we did Disneyland Paris.
So glad you are enjoying it, yes I'll do one for the October trip, coming up SOON!!!I love your trip report! hoping you are doing one for the halloween trip!
Anyways... the teddy bear lady you talk about at Gran Floridian (I'm not sure if it was Grand Floridian) ???
Glad you enjoyed the update, just love Small World! Definitely put LeCellier on your list!GREAT update!! Looks like you had a fabulous day at MK! Claire's favorite ride it IASW, too!! Ooooh--dinner at Le Cellier--that's on our list for next time! The food looks awesome!! So sorry you had such a horrible bus driver! That's awful! I hope they really did do something about it--not really the magical experience you're expecting, huh?!
