You can have Edward Cullen...We'll take Mickey Mouse, and the trip begins on page 101

Sweet! I should have plenty of time to see them between the time I get off work at 2 and lining up for our 10:15 Eclipse showing at about 7 or 8, lol.

Oh my. We need to keep you busy then. The waiting will be unbearable.

More pics & trip report!!!!!

I love looking around the shops in DTD.....it's fun & free!!!! Only problem I have is somethings catch my eye & then ut-oh......me want!! Wasn't sure Mike was gonna get me out of the Anne Geddes store last year when we took the twins......sheesh I could have spent thousands in there!

The cheshire tails are purdy......but from having a tigger tail....they are WAY to sweet for my likings!!

We've never gone into the LEGO store.......Anthony would never want to leave & so we've avoided it...but think we'll venture in there this trip.

I never tasted the Cheshire ones but I do know Kacy did not like them nearly as much as she did the Tigger Tails.

I purposely avoid the shops where I know I may be tempted to spend the big money.

Love the update! I hate to say, I didn't even know there was is a Lego store in DTD. Guess I need to do more homework! We love the one in WDW!

Oh my goodness. I was sad because they used to have a man made out of Legos on a bench outside that the kids have all posed with and he is gone now.

I don't know about DTD at DW but there are all these outdoor stands at the DLR and they always have fun stuff to look at. I am fond of all of the crystal things.

When last we left Weird Bike Guy and I were going to play in Aurora's Castle!! And what a wonderful place to play.

And they lived happily ever after!!

WBG fist pumping his new bud!!

The window of the Heraldry Shop. Unfortunately it wasn't open. I love this place.

We caught back up with the 3 B's and Loho. Here are Bawb and Boo getting ready to ride Dumbo. Bawb hates heights, isn't it amazing the things we do for the ones we love?

This is the back of Loho's head, you will see that this is a trend.

Back of Bawb's head. Get it? I could do this all day.

Boo posing in Dumbo.

Bawb and Boo

Loho

more coming right up!!

 

[kaoden39]

At the end of this ride WBG and Loho went to get fast passes for Bawb, Loho and himself. I stayed behind watching the stroller while the 3 B's rode on Casey Jr. I drank my bottle of cold water and watched the world go by. I like doing that and it will be a trend on this trip. On the way to get fp's WBG and Loho got distracted by Big Thunder. There wasn't a fp picked up after that.

WBG with 2 new friends of his!!

Boo went hat shopping!!

Another picture of the lovely Columbia.

At this time we were on our way to lunch. We met the girls in New Orleans Square and decided what we all wanted to eat for lunch. Bawb wanted his gumbo in the sour dough bread bowl so he and Loho had lunch at Cafe Orleans. The rest of us went to Refreshment Corner because Boo who is a picky eater will eat a hot dog and I knew they had them there and the rest of us were up the chili in the bread bowl again. I made it for dinner last night at home. Yummy.

After lunch it was time to tackle Pixie Hollow. Oh my. Nerdy had a friend that she was getting autographs for so she decided that the fairies were a good way to do it. It is so cute and I think that they really did it well.

WBG entertaining the crews in line.

Nerdy getting in on the fun.

She loves the camera.

So cute in there.

My hubby the ham!!

More later....real life calls.

We have that same Goofy hat & the twins love to put it on.......cracks me up!! Boo looks like she was having so much fun!!!

Boo is one of those kids that when she is on, she is really on. Oh but, when she is off, I want to run and hide.

A zoo?! No one told me about this zoo, im sad now.

What???? You didn't get the memo???

 

[nerdylightbulb]

I brought Boo to our room with began a habit that we kept for the next couple of mornings. So she could see the pictures from the day before. We all went in together this day. The girls once again separated from us, but for some reason I think Loho was with us. He was going to Fantasyland with Bawb, Boo and Belan. My mom had decided that she was too sore from the first day to go again on Tuesday. No comment because I am a nice daughter. Or I play one.

That's a good picture of my FF5 shirt

Loving the pics! I never get sick of seeing the little ones hugging characters like that. It's so adorable.

I'm so glad you explained the backpack situation. I did a double take, wondering why Bawb was wearing a Camp Rock bag. Nerdy Cookies may just be my new role model, even though she's younger.

Why thank you c:

 

[kaoden39]

When last we left we were in line for Pixie Hollow.

Weird Bike Guy giving Boo more of a birds eye view as it were.

Getting closer....

Here is Nerdy with the beautiful and friendly Silver Mist. She offered me Pixie Dust so I could visit Neverland, but we decided that without wings that even with a happy thought it would be too difficult.

This is Nerdy with Tinkerbell. Who by the way Nerdy Cookies wanted to be when she grew up. She once asked me if she could be a fairy when she grew up. I told her I didn't see why not.

Nerdy with Tinkerbell and Terrance. I love how Terrance is dressed.

I was frustrated because the way they rush you through we got separated from Boo and Belan in the line so we got no pictures of her with the fairies. During this line I started getting text messages from Loho, his tumor in his leg was really hurting and he and Bawb were ready to leave for at least a while. I kept telling Loho different places that were cool for him to go rest at while we finished the line.

WBG hurried off to meet up with the boys to let them know where we were and that we would be on our way soon and Loho's tumor has been a big concern for us. Yes, it is benign but it is in such a place it could break the other bone.

Some pictures WBG took on the way to meet the boys.

When we left Pixie Hollow there was the face painting place and we stopped so that Boo could get her face painted.

And so we headed back to the room with plans to come back that evening after Loho had a chance to rest his leg. But he wasn't feeling good, so I decided that we should just order pizza in and relax in the room. Honestly I was glad to do so. Bawb came and visited in the room and it was a nice relaxing evening.

 

[DizNee Luver]

I just love the way you feel when you're in Pixie Hollow!!! The theming there is awesome & you do feel like you're there. Last trip we saw Fawn & Tink......really hoping Addy gets to see some different ones & having Terrance there would be a bonus!!

Bummer your sons leg was an issue....but you probably knew it might be. Glad you got an evening to relax!! (when at Disneyland, sometimes a good reason is welcomed cuz normally you don't want to stop)

And the next day was DCA, I wanted to be my best while I was there. I have to ride Soarin' that is my must do ride.

 

[Karenann*]

I am loving every pic and description!!!!! Barely on right now, trying to fit everything in the last 2 days before we leave YIPPEE!!! Hope you are feeling better and better.

 

[GoofySon'sMom]

Pixie Hollow looks so cool. DS wants no part of it and I admit I am not too keen on the fairies but I really would like to see the surroundings.

Sorry to hear your son's leg was giving him issues. Hoping to read that he felt better after the evening of rest!

I had my return visit to the Dr yesterday. All the infection is gone. So that is good.

Pixie Hollow is cute and if you want to see it I think you can probably go see it after dark without fear of crowds and fairies.

Loren's leg is an issue until he has his surgery. Thank you.

 

[APX]

Glad your doing well, and hopefully the surgery on the leg will go without any problems whatsoever.

Thank you. It should, Loho has a good orthopedic surgeon. I will be starting on DCA day. I am hoping that I can get at least one of the kids to come and post their part of the trip.

I had some catchng up to do

Looks like your evening at DTD was fine. Love the lifesize Woody and Darth Vadar Legos. Super cool

Submarine at night is so pretty

Awesome pirate ship

Boo is adorable of course, espeically ones where she hugging the characters

Bummer about DS leg. Did you set up his surgery yet?

Yes, you did, I am glad I hadn't started the part for today yet.

I love DTD, it is such a treasure trove. There will be more from there for Thursday of the trip. Grown up fun!!

I don't think the Columbia is supposed to be a pirate ship. They are defending against the pirates of Pirates Island. They have this hole bit they do with a cannon and the island.

I think the lagoon is so beautiful at night. There is something quite romantic about it.

Boo's is real cute, and the best birth control I have ever met. Kacy babysits her and now doesn't want any kids for a long time.

No word from the Dr office on the surgery yet. I am giving a month from when we saw him to call and ask. I realize he is busy so I am giving him a little space. Thank you for asking.

 

[Marshay]

Great update and pics.

Yes, I know they have GCV but I'm thinking I would need to save up my points for Hawaii and could just do like you did and get a regular hotel room close by.

The Cheshire Cat tail looked really cute. I think I could only eat one marshmellow though ... it looks super sweet.

Speaking of sweet, Boo in the yellow cupcake shirt -- I got that same shirt from JC Penney (I think) for Elizabeth!

Boo is so adorable with the characters.

I love, love, love Pixie Hollow. That looks like a wonderful place to be.

Sorry to hear about Loren's leg.

Oh, so the Dumbo ride in CA is over water? That's really cool!

Thanks.

I figured you would know but I wanted you to see the pictures I linked to.

They are sweet, I didn't try one, but, I did try the Tigger Tails and they are so sweet.

What a small world. I love JC Penney. My kids still get clothes there.

She was just amazing with them wasn't she? The only one she didn't like was Terrance in Pixie Hollow and she wouldn't go near him.

I fell in love with Pixie Hollow.

Thanks about that. Hopefully we can get the surgery over with so he only misses one year of marching band.

Oh it looks like Dumbo is over water but that is an illusion.
