[TinksThree]

Your pictures from Crystal Palace are priceless! It looks like that was an awesome experience. Seth is just a little doll...so adorable!!

 

[KatGarcia]

LOVE the character pics!! I really hope Lily loves the characters that much!!

 

[SoNotAPrincess]

What awesome character photos...especially the Piglet/Seth combo of everlasting love! The joy he was feeling just jumps off the screen...how wonderful that he wasn't afraid or shy around them...just immediately fast friends with Pooh and the gang!!

 

[Poolrat]

What a great meal. I am sure you were holding your breath wondering how Seth would react to the characters and what a great interaction.

Great timing on a late breakfast. It really looks like it emptied out and the boys and the characters had some quality time.

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

Oh my goodness! How precious are Seth and Piglet together?! That smile on his face is just too cute.

The pictures of Seth and Will on the floor with Tigger are adorable, too!

Breakfast at CP looks yummy! Maybe we'll have to give it a try during that 10:30 timeframe.

 

[stimmons]

Oh my gosh! How are you not crying in those pictures?!?!?! I'm crying just looking at them.

 

[Moodyzblu]

LOVE the pictures from CP !! OMG .. too cute.

 

[KristinAnne]

Oh my gosh. Those are absolutely adorable. Talk about heart melting! I'll bet Seth has a plush Piglet now!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

OMG! I don't think I've ever seen a more precious character meet! Seth is def. head over heals! I hope he has a proper PPpiglet at home now? Will was adorable in his interaction, too! And then it is so fun to see the boys enjoying each other so much! I was thinking you will probably get together as families for years and the boys will be fast friends as they get older!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Love all the pictures from the Crystal Palace, but those with Seth and Piglet are beyond precious!!! Love, love, love every single one of them! So, does Seth have a Piglet plush now?

 

[<3myfamily]

You were not kidding! Pure cuteness!!! Love the CP pictures... of course my favorites are all the Winnie the Pooh characters! The pictures of Seth & Will together are precious too. Again... CUTE!

 

[MagicShell]

Wow! Seth really did love those characters. I'm glad he was there at the perfect time to get so much attention. Crystal Palace breakfast is a must for our trips, it is one of my very favorite things to do at all of WDW. I LOVE Winnie the Pooh!

 

[xoktenox]

Ok, finally just got caught up!

I can't even handle the cuteness of the CP pictures...Seth just LOVED the characters!!

That picture of Seth and Will on the floor together needs to be framed, it's priceless...in 20 years, they will see where their friendship started!

I couldn't have said it any better! The pictures are beyond cute! And I can't wait to see more pictures of Seth and Will together as they grow.

Thanks!! Life is good...love being a Mommy. We just had Ava's pictures made so I will post some when I get the cd.

I LOVE the Crystal Palace pictures. Will and Seth are so cute with the characters. I love CP for breakfast.

Thanks! We had loads of fun at that breakfast. Can't wait to see the pictures!

How nice to be able to share in your Crystal Palace fun through all of these pictures! It is great to see you and Erica being such wonderful mommies and enjoying your little guys so much in this happy place.

Crystal Palace has not disappointed us with its food any time we have been - be it breakfast or dinner.

News close to the homefront: Did you see that the Opry Mills website has listed that Disney Store is coming back when the mall reopens? I hope that is really real!

We had a fun time that morning...glad we were able to meet up! I liked the food but Ray was disappointed about the onions in the gravy. He's more picky than I am, which is a hard thing to be! I did not see that....very cool! More dismeets at Opry Mills now!

This one deserves a "Best Buddies" frame! Oh my gosh, how cute! I think Piglet loved Seth just as much as Seth loved Piglet!

I have it on my desk at work.

Seth's and Piglets interaction is priceless!
The character interaction at Crystal Palace is always the best!

It really is! I'm so glad Seth made a new friend there.

Can't stand the cuteness!! Seth has GREAT taste in characters..not that I am biased or anything. Those are the best pictures...classic disney memories!!

I knew you'd appreciate that!

Your pictures from Crystal Palace are priceless! It looks like that was an awesome experience. Seth is just a little doll...so adorable!!

Thanks! It was a lot of fun!

LOVE the character pics!! I really hope Lily loves the characters that much!!

I think it really just depends on the kid and the age. At 13 months I don't think knows to be scared of the characters yet. I hope he never is but you just never know!

What awesome character photos...especially the Piglet/Seth combo of everlasting love! The joy he was feeling just jumps off the screen...how wonderful that he wasn't afraid or shy around them...just immediately fast friends with Pooh and the gang!!

I was so happy that he enjoyed it so much! Makes the $60 you pay for 2 adult breakfasts worth it!

What a great meal. I am sure you were holding your breath wondering how Seth would react to the characters and what a great interaction.

Great timing on a late breakfast. It really looks like it emptied out and the boys and the characters had some quality time.

He did like the characters at Cape May but at this breakfast he just realllllly loved them so much! See....even sometimes the late risers get the worm!

Breakfast at CP looks yummy! Maybe we'll have to give it a try during that 10:30 timeframe.

He loved him some Piglet! We just didn't want to have to be there too early, and wanted some Fantasyland time beforehand, too. So we figured a late breakfast would be best and I'm glad we did!

Oh my gosh! How are you not crying in those pictures?!?!?! I'm crying just looking at them.

Did you see the smile on my face in most of those pictures? Believe me, I thoroughly enjoyed watching Seth with the characters...it was awesome!

LOVE the pictures from CP !! OMG .. too cute.

Thanks...it was a great meal!

Oh my gosh. Those are absolutely adorable. Talk about heart melting! I'll bet Seth has a plush Piglet now!

Thanks! And yes, he does. Although he hasn't really been interested in it. I guess he prefers the 5-foot-tall Piglet!

OMG! I don't think I've ever seen a more precious character meet! Seth is def. head over heals! I hope he has a proper PPpiglet at home now? Will was adorable in his interaction, too! And then it is so fun to see the boys enjoying each other so much! I was thinking you will probably get together as families for years and the boys will be fast friends as they get older!

He does have a Piglet plush now, yes. I can't wait to see Seth and Will play together as they get older.

Love all the pictures from the Crystal Palace, but those with Seth and Piglet are beyond precious!!! Love, love, love every single one of them! So, does Seth have a Piglet plush now?

Thanks! Yes, he has a Piglet plush now. The other day he had it and Nemo on the stove of his play kitchen and Ray asked him if he was making fish and bacon for dinner?

You were not kidding! Pure cuteness!!! Love the CP pictures... of course my favorites are all the Winnie the Pooh characters! The pictures of Seth & Will together are precious too. Again... CUTE!

Thanks! It was such a great meal. So glad he loved the characters!

I'm not a huge Pooh fan myself (although I loved the new movie) but we will certainly be back here!

Ok, finally just got caught up!

I can't even handle the cuteness of the CP pictures...Seth just LOVED the characters!!

That picture of Seth and Will on the floor together needs to be framed, it's priceless...in 20 years, they will see where their friendship started!

Seriously! So glad we could spend some time with them this trip!

I couldn't have said it any better! The pictures are beyond cute! And I can't wait to see more pictures of Seth and Will together as they grow.

I know...so excited to see them grow up and get to know each other better!

Hey, guys! Here with another update for you. Before we get back to our day at MK, thought I'd share a few pictures of Seth so you can see how much he's changed since October. He's doing and saying so many things now. Lately his favorite words are "moon", "cooo-ooooold" (he makes it a two-syllable word), "Daddgy" (a variation of Daddy), and "Bye Sey" (which is really Bye Seth).

Dancing and being silly....



Big boy!

This one is great....he's into hiding now and loves our tiny pantry. I don't get it - he can't even turn around in there!



This was today at his school Valentine's Day party....cupcakes!!!

(His shirt says "Spud Muffin" and has a picture of Mr. Potato Head, by the way! )

Okay, back to the report. After our breakfast with Erica and company and making a new pink best friend at CP, I headed to the baby care center to change Seth while Ray got our stroller together. He took these while he was waiting for me....

The castle show we've seen a billion times but still love....

We decided to head towards Adventureland to see what was happening over there. Here's Ariel Girl....

And Eric, who Ray has named Prince Mullet.

We barely got into Adventureland when I looked down to see this....

Yep, making new friends at breakfast had done him in!

Ray had to get another Dole Whip Float. I think this is number 3?

Further into Adventureland we also saw Jasmine and Aladdin....

As we rounded the turn into Frontierland, I saw this sign (near Pecos Bill) and thought it was worth sharing....

Frontierland Donald.....

We found a spot in the shade over near the water in Frontierland and we just sat there while Seth slept and we enjoyed a Coke and the rest of the Dole Whip Float. It was nice that day and I loved just sitting there, soaking up the atmosphere.

The Liberty Belle went by a few times as we sat there....

My sleepy dude....

After Seth woke up we decided it was time for his first ride on the Haunted Mansion!

Ray took this just as we were sitting down in our doom buggy. He looks like Voldemort here!

We survived our adventure in the Haunted Mansion and Seth didn't seem too too traumatized.

Some Sleepy Hollow pumpkin art....

We decided to cut back through the bathroom shortcut into Adventureland and head towards Pirates of the Caribbean. Another big boy ride for Seth!

He wants the red head!!!

Trying out some pirate garb....

Then it was time for a ride on Aladdin's Magic Carpets, which he LOVED. His reaction to this was similar to Dumbo, but we got video on this. So cute!

(Sorry it's sideways. It's not like that on my computer! )



It was around 2:00 by that time, and we decided to go ahead and head back to WL for an afternoon break.

So pretty!

Ray filmed the marching band that was serenading us as we walked down Main Street....



On the way out we stopped by the hat store to get Seth's first official Mickey ears. While we were waiting for them to be embroidered, we decided we'd swing by and see Mickey and Minnie before we left. The wait was like maybe 7 minutes and we were in! Once again, Seth loved meeting the characters.

Hi, Minnie!

Hey, I know that guy!!!!!

I just met Mickey Mouse!

After meeting Mickey we tried on our new mouse ears....

He kept them on for about 20 seconds.

Back to WL we went for a nice afternoon break. I took these in the room: his official personal Mickey ears and his first haircut Mickey ears....

We also got this on our way out of the park that day. We had been eyeing it the entire trip. It was full of popcorn and so cute!

I believe it was about $2 cheaper at MK than at DHS, which is odd.

Entertaining himself with the flashlight while hanging out in the hotel room.....at least he's happy!

Next time: Our evening at MK and Seth's first Wishes!

 

[glennbo123]

You couldn't ask for a better picture with Mickey and Minnie than that last one -- everyone smiling, looking at the camera, and eyes open. It's a keeper!

A post bruch siesta during a beautiful day at MK.

You are so right about the perfect day.
