5 Girls, 2 Guys, a wheelchair, a stroller, and a Grandma... OH MY!

I miss spring break! Since I work in a pediatric office holiday seasons are our busiest since everyone wants to bring the kids in.

I bet that has a lot of positives and negatives! When I was younger I really wanted to be a pediatrician!

 

[sPaRkLeSpAz]

Didn't realize we were going to do play by plays of our day!

Haha, I'm starting to treat this thing more like a diary then like a trip report

 

[MPossible]

Yes, Payton will probably freak when we see these characters in real life. She wouldn't even come close to Cinderella at a Princess birthday party. She is going to grow up a lot between now and then though. We have until July before we can make the ADR. I just want to get that cute family picture in front of the castle. We have to do a profile cut out too!!

 

[JoyMouse]

OOOOO!! In forgot about the silhouette. We need one of you and of Payton. Don't forget, I get the extra one! It has to go on the wall with the other five.

That is making me excited all over again...we need to make of list of "gotta do" things...I will start it and Mandy and Ruthie you must add to it...anyone else with good ideas fill free to chime in your two cents worth!

Gotta Do List (part one)​

1. silhouette (of Mandy and Payton and Chuck...we have everyone else) ...and yes, I can just see us convincing Chuck that he HAS to do this!​
2. Eat at least one Dole whip​
3. Ride the TTA/people mover while eating popcorn​
4. Eat with characters...Castle or Crystal Palace...​
5. Ride the "Mama Whale" (another Robbieism...)​
6. Figgaro fries...gotta have 'em​
7. Get "autodrafts" for Becky​
8. Get Payton Mouse Ears with her name on them​
9. Family Pics in front of the Castle...I hope without a crane in the background this time!​

Okay...add to the list!​

Your trip looks like a lot of fun! Subscribing!

 

[sPaRkLeSpAz]

DisneyFirefly- Thanks for subscribing!

Hmm..
I'll be thinking of things to add to the list :]

Hi DisneyFirefly and welcome!! I am so glad that you decided to join us.

I have thought of a couple more things to add to our list of "gotta do's":

10. Frozen Cola slushie at Pop One of my favorites!
11. Riding both Splash Mountain and the Jungle Cruise
at night...love them then

I just noticed that way too many of my favorites revolve around food...I guess Weight Watchers is not working!

You should add to get a photo the "other way" on Main St at MK. We have tons of photos with the castle behind us, we remembered at this past trip to turn around and get one with the train station behind us. I love that picture!

Thanks Tlenzendorf, that is a great idea...why have I never thought of that one??? Any more brain storms for us? Come on, think think think!!

12. A picture on Main ST. USA facing the castle so that the train station is in the picture instead of the castle. What a good idea! Hum....that is why we post on here...we need help!

 

[sPaRkLeSpAz]

Ohhhdang, haven't checked on this board in awhile [:
My mom, Dad, Becky and I are leaving to go to Montana to see our other grandma and one of our Aunts. It will be an exciting trip!!
Also a very long trip.

I just got back from the beach, I went with Annie (The Grandma), Robbie, Mandy, and Payton, Robbie's nephew, and my mom's sister, and four other cousins. I'll post a picture or two [:

We've also been talking about taking a girl trip to Disney when they have some kind of 5k in October. We'll see. It should be fun!

Anyway, I'm about to post some pictures. Because I love to share pictures, haha [:

Me, Becky, Gabby and Kaitlyn looking attractive at Becky's birthday party. [;

Payton playing in the water at a House Party we had.

Taking a break from the beach to eat at Boss Oyster! I missed my parents and sister, but I had a good time with this crew [:

 

[JoyMouse]

Oh my...it has been way too long since I posted. I am so sorry!!

We have lots of news, all of it good!!

We got our ADRs for the Crystal Palace!! Yippeeeeeeee!

Plus both the Great Grandma and the Grandma agreed to join the fun. So we have officially added Annie and Dee Dee to our trip! Let the fun begin...again! I just hope that we are all speaking after we get back from this trip! You will just have to stay tuned and find out!

 

[JoyMouse]

My goodness how long it has been since I've posted. So sorry!! Our count down is now less than 2 weeks! We are all properly excited, the children all know about the trip now...they found out at Christmas!
I had knee replacement surgery 8 weeks ago, so I am a bit worried about all of the walking. I think I will take advantage of using an ECV.

We have added another traveler...my sister is going. She is the Grandma...now we have a 4 generation trip!

More soon,
Joy

 

[JoyMouse]

Only six more days to go!! This morning I got a wild hair and changed up our ADRs...don't know what I was thinking! Our old breakfast date iterfered with EMH--Duh! So now we are going to the Crystal Palace on Sunday for breakfast and are gonna drop by Downtown Disney on our way out and eat lunch at Rainforest Cafe! I was really lucky to get what I wanted this close to the trip, especially since there are nine of us! Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

My DH and I also leave in 6 days for our kids free trip. DSs will be staying with Grandma which they are excited about. We take them every September so DS9 is ok with us going without him, we just don't tell DS3 were we are going.

I am afraid you will not be able to do number 6 on your list of things to do, they no longer have Figero Fries. I haven't seen them there in awhile and on allears.net on the menu it is not listed.

Maybe we will bump into each other. I may see you coming off the TOT ride. I do not like TOT or rollercoasters in general. TOT is my DH all time fav ride, he rides it over and over and over, while I sit were you view the pictures. If the Kids are with us I take them to see Playhouse Disney while he is riding. After many visits to WDW in 2008 I went on Test track loved after being scared of it for so many years, then in 2009 I went on Splash Mt. didnt like it, went on TMR and loved it. I went on space mt. in Jan 2010 for first time I am still trying to warm up to that one. Sept 2010 I went on Barn Stormer for first time.

I hope you have a great Family trip without any hicups and Payton has a wonderful first visit. When we take DS3 each time it is like seeing things for the first time even though he just seen it the year before.

Wow, I haven't posted on here in a LONG time. 5 MORE DAYS WOOOOOHOOOOOO



NO FIGARO FRIES?! This is very sad. But I am starting a diet Thursday (I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M STARTING A DIET THE DAY BEFORE WE LEAVE FOR DISNEY) , and the less I pig out at Disney, the better.


MAMA- Everyone is still asleep. Remind me to add Aunt Dona's picture to the first post when you see this.

 

[JoyMouse]

I am so excited that I can hardly stand myself!! Only 3 more days until I see Mickey!
I am also sad about the Figaro Fries...but, maybe they will eventually bring them back if enough folks ask about them.
Payton is excited and so is Becky...they are even being nice to each other! LOL Hope it lasts!
I started packing Saturday, if it is not packed some of my family (not mentioning any names...) will wear something and then beg to get it washed in time for our trip. Not gonna do that this time!
Whooo Hooooo! Can I leave now?

 

[sPaRkLeSpAz]

I started the trip report! Can't wait to update it!
