Princess of Progress...It's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow TR 8/31-9/6

[OneTreeHillAddict]

I never even look at that stuff! I'm still here waiting on party pics!!! Yay! Bring 'em on.

Awww, how sweet she fell asleep. I love it when they do that. I still feel bad for you that you had to take the princess apart. But, I bet that hair piece was HOT! (it's only money right? You'll make more) I'd rather have a happy kid. I've never been on Carousel of Progress, so that is a must see for our next trip.

Hi Jen...
We are back from our awesome Disney trip... we had a great time... I am having a hard time adjusting to thinking about real life things... school, bills, life... I just want to think what park we are going to and what time is dinner!!!
LOL
Oh well... I am loving reading your report..and love seeing pictures I missed, hmm because my 4 kids were pulling me in 20 different directions! lol

But I did manage to start a trip report myself too... hope you visit me too.

I think it is so coo out girls are the same age.. and are a lot alike!!! nina wasn't thrilled with the crown either... actually I had to put it in because she wouldn't let the lady do it!!!

Will check back soon

In 2010 my mom will be 70, we will be married 10 years, and my aunt will be 50. In June, July & August-I'm thinking cruise and the world-maybe 12 days because I'd really like a 7 day cruise.

Any ideas? Where should I look first to start planning?

Separately, what should be the next resort we stay in? If we get to go this June...I want to try as many as I can, I have no idea where to go next.

Li & I went apple picking yesterday. I love to go in Sept. Li's school doesn't go and it was supposed to rain this weekend. We were ALONE there. I was so surprised, but thankful.

Love the coordinating outfit! Lindsey is styling!

 

[hlrababy]

Awww, Lindsey looks so cute matching the apple outfit with picking apples!!! I do the same thing!!

 

[lmillercrew]

You inspired me to go pick some apples. I love Honeycrisp apples. They are delish! Especially with the apple dip that I make. MMMmmm...

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Apples sound yummy right now! I'm leaving for the Mountains soon....might just have to stop by an orchard! Great pictures and the outfit is so perfect for picking apples! Did you get the HM pumpkin? That's cool. My DD would LOVE that one! Your plan sounds good. I want to do a Disney cruise but I have to talk my parents or someone else into going too. With 5 you have to upgrade to a deluxe cabin which I don't want...if my parents go I can just "say" the baby is in their room. Other ships allow 5 but Disney...if you have 5 you're out of luck (or MONEY). You guys might like the CBR since you're into Palms and Beach themes.

 

[billnang]

Love the idea of a cruise...Although they make me nervous...I too may consider a Disney one...But like the previous poster said I would need 2 rooms... So, that makes me think twice about it....
So, your thinking about June next year?
Lindsey looks like she had a blast apple picking...We have to get there too.. the kids all love it...

You have the most darling little girl. Mine is now 8 and your pics bring back the happiest memories! I am enjoying your TR so much

Progressing onward and upward....Hollywood Studios day was a JOY....Lindsey had some extra good sleep under her belt, my in laws were there to bring some extra distraction and spoilage! All was good again My FIL got a taxi because he figured it would be quicker and we wouldn't have to leave so early to make our 9:05 ADR at Hollywood and Vine. When we got there we went to rent our modes of transp. for the day. Mom got a motorized one because yesterday the wheelchair was harder for FIL to push and keep up with us. That was fun to see her figure that thing out- I thought that this would be the perfect day to wear our matching shirts since it was our last day together. They ended up being such a conversation piece and got us a lot of attention. I said to Keith...someone is acting much better today...and Lindsey's doing good too. Meaning I was a lot more relaxed and calm and in turn so was dd. I think that whole princess thing is a lot of "pressure" and going with the flow is a lot more fun.

We had another beautiful weather day.
I forgot this actresses name, but she was the first person we encountered on our way to the restaurant. She was so funny and chatted with us for a little walk down the Blvd.

Here's mom with her machine...I said her other son (Uncle Scott) was going love this pic and that's what she was laughing at

Some scenery....

Hollywood and Vine Play and Dine....We really loved this breakfast. Our first non-princess character experience with mom & dad. They got up and danced and sang with the kids-Li was shy at first, but I went up there with her so she could experience some of it. Play and Dine Video

Lindsey loves ALL the characters even though these two shows are not her faves. Here's Goliath with Grandma

I love your matching shirts! Those are cool! We took that same pic of the Hollywood sign....how funny. H & V looks darn near empty. Must be nice. Last time we went it was slammed and it wasn't very fun. Your meal looks like a lot of fun! Great pics!

Thanks...It was a fun day-hardly anyone there. It was a thursday so getting closer to the hurricane threat.

Some more scenery on our way to Star Tours

We were in Star Tours when a dream team came in and gave our group of people fastpasses. It was so exciting-we didn't really need to use them until the big 3 TSM, HTT, & RRRC. It got us right to the front of the line for TSM and that was the longest wait 30+mins we saw all day.

Muppet 3D was adorable and Lindsey loved it

We were heading to the front of the wizard hat to see HSM when we caught it coming down the parade route so we stopped to watch it there.

Lindsey had so much fun here-nothing like a good ol' playground

Film canister...Lindsey doesn't even know what that is-
