7 Days at Disney & the MANY Lessons We Learned Along the Way! My Jan 2010 TR

[JoBird]

awwwww, not the last day already! That is really really stinky and I hate it.

The kids are just so sweet and cute--- they look like they enjoyed their trip so much. The mug is adorable. I have found with my coffee- and I'm sure that it's the same with your tea--- the proper drinking cup is essential to the experience.


I hope that you are able to plan another trip very soon.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

We should travel together next time- I'll bring the PB and you bring the J. We can split the bread.

Sounds like a plan!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I'm so sad your TR is coming to an end. All the TR's I am reading are coming to an end soon.

Oh the last day stinks. Majorly. But at least you were able to enjoy some good shopping!

I just can't believe you wouldn't buy your DS that $300 Star Wars lego set. My boys would flip over that thing too!

Love your new magnet! We get one each trip too.

Don't feel bad, my kids feed those birds at CBR too!

Looking forward to the rest. . .

Say it isn't so! This has been an fabulous trip report Kim!

Loved all your goodies that you got for yourselves.

Your kiddos looked liked they had a great time at DTD and the hotel.

 

[lexmas]

So sad it's the last day! But I love all your shopping pictures! We get a magnet every time too, I really like the one you chose this year!

Those fairy dolls are really cute, I'm hoping to get some kind of a cloth doll for DD when we go. How tall are they, if you don't mind my asking? DD seems to like smaller dolls for now since she's so tiny herself!

Can't wait for more!

 

[Charlefours]

Oh no the Disney funk I sure hope you can get over the slump to scrapbook your pictures! : I cannot believe you are up to your last day already. Yay for a great time at DTD--great pickings! Looking forward to reading about your last afternoon/evening in MK.

 

[martinolichfamily]

Sad that its the last day already!

BUt....I am looking forward to reading about your time at MK!! My favorite park I do believe!

 

[IDoBelieveinFairies!]

I could not believe the price on the LEGO Star Wars set, it was something else.
I liked the Princess dolls, last time we were there picking out our memories from Disney my youngest worried over which was the one that was perfect, and she finally picked the Minnie Princesses, and she is sleeping with her and her Marie from Aristrocats tonights.


Wonderful pics!

 

[Monny2AE]

Wow, Kim, I can't believe you're reporting on your last day already! Of course, I'm still doing my last day on my TR from December!
I really like your mug and magnet!
The kids look so cute with their Mickey Rice Krispie treats! I could go for one of those right about now!

Me too! We bought rice crispies and marshmallows at the grocery store and will be making some this weekend. The kids like to use the Mickey head cookie cutter and make them like the ones we had in Disney.

The heat is what gave me the sinus infection in the first place! I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again this Sept. I've been reading that Sept is even hotter than the summer months! I'll be bringing lots of sinus meds with me for sure!!

What a great morning at DTD! I could spend days there (especially WOD)! How sad that your TR is coming to an end. I can't wait to read about your last night.

Hopefully it won't strike you 2 trips in a row! Pack those meds just in case!

Oh Kim....I looove the picture of Em in front of the dresses!! That little face is toooo precious!!! What a sweet heart! Iagree about the CDs...I want one every trip, but I know if I get it I will become sad listening to it!!

She was in heaven. Too bad her parent's aren't millionaires and she couldn't take them all home!

awwwww, not the last day already! That is really really stinky and I hate it.

The mug definitely makes all the difference. I alternate between 4 of them- 3 are Disney ones from our trips and 1 is a mug Andrew gave me for Christmas that says "I love mom's hugs". He picked it out himself at the school Santa thing they have.

I'm so sad your TR is coming to an end. All the TR's I am reading are coming to an end soon.

I know I'm such a terrible mom for not dropping $300 on a Lego toy. I'll learn to live with the guilt.
Glad we aren't the only ones that feed the birds. The funny part is that the CM in the grab n go gave us the bread and told us to feed them.

Say it isn't so! This has been an fabulous trip report Kim!

Loved all your goodies that you got for yourselves.

Your kiddos looked liked they had a great time at DTD and the hotel.

Thanks Sea! Glad you've enjoyed it!

Can't wait for more!

I think they are about a foot tall. They were $18 each. EM loves them!

Oh no the Disney funk I sure hope you can get over the slump to scrapbook your pictures! : I cannot believe you are up to your last day already. Yay for a great time at DTD--great pickings! Looking forward to reading about your last afternoon/evening in MK.

Yup, the dreaded funk. Still in it but pretending I'm not.

Sad that its the last day already!

BUt....I am looking forward to reading about your time at MK!! My favorite park I do believe!

Mk is our favorite park too! It's the most magical park IMO.

I could not believe the price on the LEGO Star Wars set, it was something else.

Wonderful pics!

Awww how sweet. I love when they take their time and pick just the right one!

 

[branv]

Okay, I'll be honest. I'm not really a kiddo person, none of our own and I'm definitely the mean aunt But your reports reeled me in, hook, line and sinker b/c you have THE CUTEST kids ever! Those big grins they have in every picture are just so adorable. And those pics of your sweet little girl with the sunglasses and hats just made me squeal. Thanks for sharing your memories with us!

 

[praisehisname]

I love the souvies you got, but especially the magnet; I get one every trip, too! Hopefully you can get your Illuminations CD sooner than later!

 

[celeste.]

Great update!
so sad that you're on your last day.
hopefully you'll get your Illuminations CD next trip.

 

[Northern Disney Girl]

Hey Kimmy!

Oh NO!! Your last day??? Oh well, I guess every great trip has to come to an end!

I so want to go to DTD during the day next time! The evening we went was sooo crowded! I also want to have breakfast @ WPE and spend at least an hour browsing through the kitchen and BASIN stores!

LOVE the pic of the kids with their rice krispie treats! So sweet - and the kids are cute too!

We bought the Illuminations CD @ Epcot. Ken really liked the pre show music and thought that it would be on the CD - but it wasn't! I think we have maybe listened to it a total of 1x!

I have just loved reading about your trip! It is my goal to make our next vacation just as relaxing as yours was this time!

 

[Dancegrl624]

I love my IllumiNations cd!!! I could listen to it all day long. Let me know if you want me to pick it up for you in Sept. I'd be more than happy to do that for you!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

I love my IllumiNations cd!!! I could listen to it all day long. Let me know if you want me to pick it up for you in Sept. I'd be more than happy to do that for you!

Ditto for me - I'm going in July if you want it sooner I'll get one for you!

Thanks! I tend to think they are adorable but then again, I'm just a little biased.

I love the souvies you got, but especially the magnet; I get one every trip, too! Hopefully you can get your Illuminations CD sooner than later!

I started the magnet collecting in 2004 and have made sure to get one every time since! I hope to have my fridge covered someday.

Great update!
so sad that you're on your last day.
hopefully you'll get your Illuminations CD next trip.

Me too, just a good reason to plan another trip.

1X- the horror!!! You should be listening to it on a daily basis- once you shake the *I miss Disney* blues, that is.
This was the first time we went to DTD in the morning and it was a good idea if you want to avoid the crowds.

Awwww thanks ladies! Snowbird friends are the sweetest! I'll let you know if I just can't wait until my next trip.

 

[Monny2AE]

Well I did it...I made myself a ticker. Pathetic I know. It's so far away but it makes me feel better knowing a trip will happen at some point.

Our next trip is planned for December 2011, unless I can somehow make it back to Disney sooner.

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

I like it!! And nope..not pathetic! I had done the same thing!!But then it had that virus...so i haven't redone it yet...I kinda want to wait in case we change our dates---do NOT want to have to start it over yet again!! So..where are you all getting the new tickers now?

 

[JoBird]

Snazzy ticker you have there! It's always good to have something to look forward to.
