Your photopass are some of the best I have seen!

Those pictures are all great! Disney should have you guys in an ad. You all look so happy! OT, but I love the top you're wearing in them. So cute!

Hello from RI. Just read your trip report and looks like you had a great time. I love the shirts you made. How did you do that? I was thinking of making some for our upcoming trip but mine would never look like that.

Hi!! Welcome to my TR!! Glad to have you here, neighbor!! I wish I could take the credit for the shirts but I got them here on Disboards, someone designed them for me and I just ironed them on. The girls on here are SO helpful with that, check out the design board if you're interested and they'll make you personalized designs, I can't say enough about them!!

Your Photopass pics are great!

My DH loves Animal Kingdom, but I could avoid it. There isn't much there that I enjoy. Been on the safari before and it is the same thing time and time again.

I grew up off of S. Meadow and we went to West Elementary. S. Meadow was the dividing line between West and FF. I haven't been to East Bay yet. There have been so many restaurants in the Landing over the years.

I'm wondering if my next trip, girls only, maybe I"ll appreciate AK more, but wasn't too impressed on my Disneymoon, so not sure? It's beautiful but I guess I just never feel the magic there for some reason, IMO.

Too funny, we're off South Meadow and thought my kiddos would go to West but we're on the line and go to FF. It's a small world afterall....

Wow, so sorry I'm late to your TR. What an amazing trip you had. You got some great pictures. Your TR is making me very excited for our Christmas time trip in 2009!

I noticed you have a Sit-N-Stand in the pictures. How did this work for you? My DH didn't want to take one because he thought it'd be too cumbersome lugging on and off the bus. I'd be interested to see if you all had much trouble with it. Can't wait to read more.

Hi!!! Thanks for joining in!!!!! I hope you're well. You're going to LOVE your Christmas trip, it was truly so magical and just a wonderful time to visit, we'll do it again for sure someday.

My Sit-n-stand...we actually bought it secondhand for this trip for $50instead of renting like last year (saved lots of money there!!) and it was great. It was big but for what we needed it for, we loved it. With all of our gear (diaper bag, backpack, baby backpack,etal) and the fact that one of our kids (Tracey's included) needed to sit, it was a life saver!! It wasnt' bad getting it off and on the bus, Todd cursed a couple of times but I think it was more cause of all the other stuff we had to unload from it to get it on the bus! I would recommend it for sure!

Your photopass pictures are great! DH & I seem to repel photopass photographers and almost never end up with enough to justify buying the CD... I can't wait to see more!

Thanks Michelle! You're too funny....you repel photopass photographers!! Update coming soon.....thanks for being patient!!

Your photopass are some of the best I have seen!

Thanks LL, I feel the best are yet to come, too!! Stay tuned!

Those pictures are all great! Disney should have you guys in an ad. You all look so happy! OT, but I love the top you're wearing in them. So cute!

Thanks!! Not sure which top you're referring too, but thank you!!! I picked up a cople of new tops on clearance at Kohl's before trip and they were so comfy and cute, thanks for the compliment!!

Update coming soon, guys! Thanks for being patient..still looking for one more thing to take a pic of so I can start again.....Cole is down for his nap and hoping to get to it now!!!

The Photopass Pics are BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Dylan_&_Blake's_mom]

Love the photopass pictures. You've got some really great ones. It's my goal to try and get more pp pics next time. I really like how they turn out. I've never gotten any pics, pp or otherwise, on that bridge with the stream and castle in the background and I just think it's a beautiful backdrop. Don't hold back, I can't wait to see more.

Thanks Tracy! We did pretty good getting out there and getting them...even if they kids didn't feel like it! LOL!! Here comes some more.....

Hi Everyone,

Promise for a 'real' update later today/or by tomorrow at the latest...to get us up to date with the photopass pics...here are the rest of AK and then I'll add them in with my updates for the rest of my TR. Enjoy!!

We were then off to Epcot.....

 

[princess&her4princes]

From AK, we take the bus over to Epcot, when we got there we decided to get some more photopass pics, especially since we had time to kill before our 4:40 p.m ressie at Coral Reef. The photographer really spent a lot of time with, this is just a sampling of his work....these are some of my favorites from our whole trip...

Happy Anniversary Tracey and Adam!!

And I just adore these.....our babies!!!!!

We were now on our way to Coral Reef. This was a big dinner for Tracey and I, our first time together celebrating the boys birthdays together. You see, we gave birth to the boys an hour and 1/2 to the minute apart, in the same hospital with the same dr. and spent 5 days together in the hospital after our c-sections together. Todd and I moved from Philly to Massachusetts 10 mos. after they were born and haven't been back during the boys birthdays since (they were born on Christmas morning, so it's tough to get back that time of year for us!), so it was important we do it together a couple of weeks early together. It was a surprise for the boys and I has some surprises of my own for Tracey and Adam.....stay tuned!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

The pictures of the kids at Epcot are just precious. They are all so freaking cute!

I can't wait to see the surprises at Coral Reef!

Thanks LL!! They came out cute, didn't they? It was a little nerve racking having the 'big' kids be responsible of the babies up on that wall (we were like centimeters away, just in case) but they did great!!

I hope to update later tonight...still trying to find something from this dinner to take a pic of so I can update...hmmm.....hope I can find it!

 

[BellaSoleil]

Great pictures! I can't wait to hear the Coral Reef suprise. That's so neat about the baby birthin'.

 

[disneyfun2007]

The pictures are great and I love the one of the kids. The baby smiling is so precious

 

[ktmetke]

The pics of all the kids on the ledge are awesome! The weather looked great!

 

[Dylan_&_Blake's_mom]

Those are really fantastic pictures! Love the look on Coley's face in the last one at AK, too cute. All the Epcot ones are great.

That is just the coolest thing about you and your best friend having your babies like that. What a neat thing to share and a CRAZY coincidence the way it all turned out....on Christmas day no less.

Can't wait to see what you have in store for the coral reef. I always thought that would be a neat place due to the divers and personalized menus but wasn't sure if I would like the food there (I'm a very picky eater) so I can't wait to see what you thought of it.

 

[michellem1118]

Waiting (not so) patiently to hear your review of Coral Reef... we've thought about eating there, but I'm unsure about eating fish while staring at an aquarium...

 

[princess&her4princes]

Great pictures! I can't wait to hear the Coral Reef suprise. That's so neat about the baby birthin'.

Coming soon, I promise! It was pretty neat that we delivered them together, we both went weeks early and she had Ethan when I went into labor in the middle of the night. We dropped him off before heading to the hospital. In the morning, Todd called and Adam said we thought you were the dr. Tracey's in labor!!!!! It was weird, I've heard about womans cycles getting in sync with each other but this was crazy!! lol!!

The pictures are great and I love the one of the kids. The baby smiling is so precious

Thank you!! They are my favs!!!!

It was a beautiful day!!! If you don't have to wear a coat in December, you're in good shape in my book....as i'm looking out the window and it's snowing AGAIN here in MA!!!

Thanks Tracy, I love those pics, too! And the fact all 6 kids were into it, too!!! It's so nice for Tracey and I to have those pictures, too, since we only get to see each other once or twice a year and our babies are so special to each other. I love her kiddos like they are my own.

Coral Reef coming up......

Waiting (not so) patiently to hear your review of Coral Reef... we've thought about eating there, but I'm unsure about eating fish while staring at an aquarium...

I hear you Michelle! Sorry....the last couple of days have been a blur here...have sick kiddos and been too tired at night to get on (hence, why I havne't written on your PTR, either! Sorry!!).....hoping for some quiet time today to catch up on DIS! I'm going through withdrawals!! LOL!

 

[michellem1118]

Aww, sorry to hear the kids have been sick! We're trying to come down with something here, and I'm very thankful for a snow day today to rest & recuperate.

 

[KayW]

Waiting to hear more as the snow softly falls outside my window. Yet another snow day here in Central MA!

 

[princess&her4princes]

We had some time before our ressie at Coral Reef, so we decided to see if we could sneak in any of the rides. We hadn't tried Test Track but since it was late in the day, we weren't sure if we could get on or not....

Here are some pics on the way....

I love this one of Hailey and Lucas..too cute!

the 'ball'

some sights on the way

The fountain in action...

Cole helping Daddy push the stroller- what a big helper!

The gang

Hailey and Lucas, again, they were buddies this day...

Tracey, Adam and Emmi

some more sights

a palm tree!

and my hot hubby! love this pic of Todd....

As we got a big closer, we decided to have the guys run ahead and see if there was any chance we'd get to ride. We took a seat with the kids and waited. Here are a few more pics...

This was right around the corner and the boys spotted it, so we had to check it out....

At this point, it was getting a bit cooler and since the car area sprayed out water, I did not want the kids getting wet, so we left that area pretty quickly. The guys came back and there was like a 2 hour wait for TT, so that wasn't happening tonight.

It was about time to head towards Coral Reef, we had a bit of a walk. We went in about 4:35 pm for our 4:40 pm ressie and we were told it would be about a 20 minute wait or so and that if anyone left the building we wouldn't be sat. So we took a seat in a VERY CROWDED waiting room and waited.....

Stay tuned.....would my surprise be pulled off?

Thanks, they have colds but Cole is very needy for some reason. It's been a busy week here and with the snow, we're all trapped at home.....hope you had a good snow day today!!! And are feeling better, too!

Waiting to hear more as the snow softly falls outside my window. Yet another snow day here in Central MA!

You make it sound so magical...wish it was still snowing here, now we're getting that freezing rain! UGH!! It's messy out there today!!! Stay warm!
