Love all the pictures from Under the Sea! I was so impressed by all the theming in it and in Ariel's new grotto. Did your husband end up liking it?
How smart to plan new things into the trip. I feel like there's so many new things I want to do but I never plan them in cause I'm rushing to fit in the old things I don't want to miss.
Can't wait to hear about the sleigh ride, sounds perfectly magical.
Amazing pictures as always, an update well worth waiting!
Thanks so much. I hope to finish out the first day soon.
He was sort of "meh" about Under the Sea. Keep in mind though that he's never even seen the movie. I'm not sure he'd feel the drive to do it again when we go back. It's funny though, he really likes Small World. Go figure.
And what you described is exactly where I'm at with Disney. I can't bear to give up the old things we do at Disney, but I have a desire to add new stuff every time. That makes it SO frustrating to plan. But I'm pretty happy with our list of new things from this trip. Maybe I should start the list now. In fact, maybe I'll put it on the first page. I want to do a scrapbook page on all the new things and that will certainly make it easier!
Lovely pictures! I can't believe how grown up Katie looks-especially in those sunglasses.
Loving all of the new FL pics. I can't wait to see it in person.
If you don't mind-a quick sewing question. I don't sew cotton jersey often, and I don't have an overlock machine. Any advice for getting it sewn without the seams rippling? I've tried to be so very careful not to pull, I've tried using my seam ripper to guide the fabric through, but every time I get some ripple and pull. Not a huge deal since I'm only making AG clothes, but I'm a perfectionist. It makes me crazy every time I look at them!
Yeah, she was loving those sunglasses. That was one of her reasons for wanting contacts. And I can't say that I blame her. It's what I hate most about wearing glasses.
We were in and out of FL many times over the course of our 10 days there. But had I known then how few days of blue sky we would have, I would have spent more time there the first day taking photos. With 9 days ahead of us, it seemed like more than enough time.
Now, on to the sewing question. I mostly work with woven fabrics, which do tend to behave much better. I can see where jersey might cause some issues. Have you tried sewing between layers of something else? maybe tissue paper, or a tear away stabilizer?
I'm so sad you didn't enjoy the Plaza more! I feel bad! But that Sundae is adorable!!!
Dole Whip!! What I wouldn't give!!! I'm up with a sick baby right now, and that just sounds like a piece of heaven!!!
I loved taking the boat over to Wilderness Lodge too! Corey is convinced we are staying there in the future Of course, we say that about a dozen or so places! We'll probably end up at AoA or Pop in the future though!
Well, it's not that I didn't enjoy it. I just wasn't wow'd by it. But then I didn't get dessert. I'm sure that would have changed my opinion!
I'm so sorry your baby is sick. Is she any better today? We've been really hit hard with sickness this year too. Katie is at 2 weeks on hers, but at least is back at school. She missed 3 days of school, but had a weekend in the middle of that, so would have missed 5 otherwise. And even when I did send her back she sounded AWFUL. But I had her checked for strep and decided she just couldn't miss any more.
This week it's Drew who's fighting it. And it just never seems to get better. It's been so long since my own similar illness in December that I'm thinking this might be something different, so maybe I'll still get it too. Who the heck knows at this point!
Fingers crossed your baby is on the mend soon.
We actually talked about staying at the Wilderness Lodge for a couple nights before our free dining started this trip. But in the end, we just couldn't justify the extra cost and the discounts just weren't there to help out. But it was pretty awesome to check it out. That entire evening was really quite wonderful. LOTS of WL photos to come!
Yay!
Loved the exterior LM pictures! I'm glad there was no picture of the dole whip- I've been craving one like mad lately!
Thanks! And LOL on the Dole Whip comment. So if I have a photo coming later in the TR...... do I need to warn yo uin advance??? Not to worry though..... it's quite a ways down the line.
Always glad to have an update, though had I not done this I might of seen the pictures in color and not through a cracked screen
LOL!
Now that is seriously funny.
