6 kids under the age of 6 take on WDW, will Santa still visit when we get home?

How awesome that you were in the perfect spot to see Spectromagic! It's those unplanned Disney moments that are always the best.

Cole is too cute sleeping with his ears on. :cutie:

You're so right, LL!! It's those little magical moments that you don't expect that make it even that much more magical!! Thanks for reading!! :goodvibes
 
I'm loving your Pop pictures. We stayed in the 50's section and didn't venture too far from there. We were just too tired at the end of the day to go take pictures or go exploring.
 
We headed to the bus stop, we were on our way to Epcot! We had decided the night before that since we really wanted to ride Soarin' that the guys would go right for the Fastpasses and we girls would take all the kids and go to the character meet and greet. After we got through the turnstiles, this is what we saw. Itw as beautiful!!

Now it was time for our plan of attack....Adam, Todd & Cole (since he was riding in the baby backpack on Todd's back) were off for the Fastpasses for us while we went to wait in line to see the characters and get some autographs. We were seperated about 15 minutes or so, Tracey, the kids and I made it through most of the line by the time the guys got back. Funny story about the guys going off on their own....since Adam and Tracey would be celebrating their 10 year anniversary this week, they were wearing their pins. Well, Todd & Adam were repeatedly wished a Happy Anniversary since they were together a lot and we had the kids. We had a lot of laughs about this....and the guys just went with it since it took more time to explain. :rotfl:

Anyways, here is some pictures from the character meet and greet, we got a lot of them.....

Grand gathering shot....we have better pictures from our Photopass, but haven't ordered the CD yet, sorry!!

And then it was Donald's turn....I have to tell you, we had SO much fun with Donald!!! He was really funny....he was running away and the CM's had to keep going to get him and he was really playing with Lucas and Ethan, they were chasing him and it was too cute! :cutie: This is when I wish we had brought the video camera with us..oh well.

I love that Character meet and greet, it's so nice to see them all in one place and the kids get soo excited!:banana:

We had some time before our Fastpass for Soarin', I'm pretty sure we could go back about 11:30 and we had a lunch ressie today at Le Celliar, so it was a close call....stayed tuned to see if we made it!!popcorn::

Isn't that the truth, it's a shame how many pictures I missed out on at POP! We were so tired at the end of the day or too busy getting someplace at the beginning of the day we never explored. Oh well, next time! But I"m with you, I love reading others reports at POP to see what I missed......there just wasn't enough hours in the day!!:upsidedow
 
Awww all the character pics are so cute!! It is too funny about the anniversry pins LOL!! Oh well, nice to know how easy going it is there...everyones happy place:goodvibes

I love Epcot... so do my kids! I hope yours all did too:thumbsup2

Paula
 
Too funny about the anniversary pins! :rotfl:

The Character Meet & Greet looks like it was a lot of fun! :thumbsup2
 
Great update!!! Love Epcot! That was such a beautiful day. That is SOOOOO funny about your DH and the anniversary pin.:laughing:

I showed my girls your pictures this morning...they loved the foosball men and the Big Wheel. I can't believe how big they are in relation to people. They're HUGE!!! The kids must have thought that was amazing...always wonder what must be going through their heads, when they see these things.

Can't wait to sit down and chat more...this has been a crazy couple of days at work!!!:scared:
 
Just left you a message and then saw that you just got back from your trip. I am just starting to read it and will comment as you go but wanted you to know I was here and that I'm incredibly jealous,lol.
 
Ok, I stayed up way too late but I finished it. You are doing a great job. Love your pics. The boys, and your friends kids, all look so cute. I'd have to say my favorite shots are the one of Cole cheesing real big and of him sleeping on his daddy's shoulder, that is what my Cole would be doing. Oh, and I noticed that not only do our youngest share the same name and are about the same age but apparently they shop at the same stores,lol. My cole has the exact same brown Mickey jacket, too funny.

Can't wait for more.

Awww, thanks for reading, sorry to keep you up so late, though!!:cutie: I have to agree, those are my favorite pictures too of Cole, especially the big smiley one, what a ham!! And boy do our babies have SO much in common or what? They have the best name and wonderful taste in clothing!! Target sale?!!:confused3 It was too cute for me NOT to get!! :thumbsup2

Have a great day!!
 
Hi everyone!! Happy Tuesday!

It's a lazy, cold, rainy, icey and windy day here in MA, the baby is napping, the boys are watching a movie (A Goofy Movie on Disney!!) and dinner is in the crockpot...what else am I to do but update my TR and bring back some warm memories?!!! So here goes...hope everyone is having a good day today!!!

We left off heading back out to kill some time from the Character meet and greet and decided to head over to visit Figment. I really love this ride and remember it fondly as a little girl, too. Here are a couple pics of the kids on the way....

We really enjoyed Figment and his journey, it's a cute ride and the kids really got a kick out of it. Zach & Lucas especially liked when Figment sprayed his "skunk" smell...they laughed hysterically at this!!:rotfl2: It was cute.

Here are a few shots from the Imagination center afterwards.....

and even Cole was getting into it...after Mommy jumped on a few of the squares to show him, sorry, no pics of me doing this!! LOL! You can tell who had the camera!!
Disney1208122.jpg
Cole looks so serious in this picture!!

We then decided to head to Honey I shrunk the kids show....a pic of the boys waiting patiently with their glasses on.....:3dglasses Lukey looks so little to me in this pic
Disney1208123.jpg


And finally, it was time for Soarin'!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't wait. We decided that Todd, Ethan and I would ride first since Emmi neeed a bottle and then Tracey, Adam and Hailey would go next. We had a 12:15 at Le Celliar in Canada and it was about 11:30 at this point, the earliest we could ride. We took our fastpasses and off we went....we made a lot of progress through the line but then we stopped for about 10 minutes or so. Todd text messaged Adam to tell him to meet us inside so we could do a quick switch off when we got off, but he never got it. So, we went for the ride and WOW was it unbelievable and wonderful!!!! :lovestruc It was truly the best ride I've ever been on!!! We all LOVED it and couldn't wait to report back and ride again another time, it was family favorite!! But, by the time we got off, it was time for us to head to Canada for lunch and there was no time for Tracey and Adam to ride now. :eek: So, Todd and I grabbed another fastpass for them, the next time to ride was 6:30!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I felt so bad for them, it's not like it was our fault, but it the scheme of our planning, not sure what we could have done differently.

We were now off to Le Celliar for our lunch and we couldn't wait!! Adam had heard great things about this place from a coworker and after learning about it, I heard great things on DIS, so we were all looking forward to this lunch and it did not disappoint one bit!! Other than they couldn't sit us together...they had a table for 6 and one for 4 and since we had two sleeping babies that needed to stay in carriages, it made for some interesting table seating. Worked out in the end though, Tracey and I, along with the babies got a table to ourselves and finally had some time together "alone" to talk and catch up, so it was nice. And it gave us time to come up with the next plan of attack after lunch. We decided we'd give Kidcot a whirl since it's free and we were already in the World Showcase.

The meal was the best we had all week!! Tracey and I had the Mushroom filet and it just melted in your mouth!!!!!!!! It was to die for!! And for dessert, I had the chocolate mouse and Tray has the s'mores dessert. They were excellent and I highly recommend it, if you haven't been, make it a priority!!:thumbsup2

From here, we headed out back of Canada to get the kids started at Kidcot....
 
On the way out of Le Celliar we decided to try for a family shot, since the backdrop was gorgeous!!
Disney1208125.jpg


And here is our family....not the best, not the worst, wish Ethan was looking and maybe smiling :confused3 and I wish I took the bag off....oh well, it's us!:)
Disney1208124.jpg


And off to the Kidcot station....now, before I post these pictures, I will tell you that the pics of Todd and Cole are some of my favorite..they tell their own story, so I will let it tell it to you...enjoy!! :goodvibes

Isn't the interaction between them just too cute?!!!:confused3 I love it....they BOTH had so much fun working on Cole's mask and playing with it too!!!!!!

And here are a few of the other cuties working hard on their masks, too!!:cutie:

Who knew the free masks would be such a hit!! The kids all loved them and they collected treasures from all the countries the rest of the afternoon. I'm sorry, I dont have any more pictures of them.....

From there, we headed to Norway, we were ready for another ride at this point.... here is some views on the way.....

Sounds like you had a blast at Epcot so far. Isn't Soarin' wonderful? :cloud9:

I love that you were able to have some "quiet" time with your friend. That's great.

I love the Little Vikings. :cutie:
