Hi Becky! Hope you're having a great week!

Hi Becky.
Do you plan to write a PTR for you upcoming trip??
I wouldn' t like to miss it.

 

[Sunset Cliffs]

Once again, I was behind on your TR since I haven't been on the Dis much. So sad that your TR is wrapping up. Your girls are just so cute and it is fun to see them experiencing everything. The pictures of them asleep in the car are just classic.

How nice for your hubby that you got to see SWW. The parade looks like it was a long one! Was it very crowded? I can't wait for you to start your new PTR. Your ADR choices all look good so far!

Hi Alison!! I haven't been on in several days either. Brent is out of the country for business so I haven't been online much. Yes, the SWW parade was quite long but pretty entertaining!! It didn't seem too overly crowded to me but we left at lunchtime. It was also EMH in the morning so the park opened an hour early which was nice.

Hope you had a great weekend! Can't wait to see your recap.

Hi Becky,
Just popped in to say that over the weekend my DD, Emily had her birthday partry. When she was opening her presents one of the kids brought her the pink Minnie and Minnie jacket. The same one from your Halloween pictures. i saw it and I thought "Hmm that looks familiar" and then I remembered you had it.
Anyways had to share that.
Hope you had a great weekend!
When does Brent come back?

I'm pretty new here, but I just caught up on your TR and wanted to tell you I loved reading it! My daughter, Bella, is close in age to Ally and she will take her first trip this coming up May. Your pictures made me even more excited!
