Hannah's Top Five

While in line tonight at Kings Island I was asking her about her top rides at Kings Island. Then I asked about WDW.

Here is her top five:

1) Splash Mountain

2) Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

3) Haunted Mansion

4) SpectroMagic

5) Lunch at the Castle

While I know they are not all rides, it was interesting to say the least. I bet this list changes this trip, we will see. I had number one for sure, and I know the Haunted Mansion is a top five. I will have to get Emily's list too!

Hannah and I have so much in common!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Love Hannah's list -- Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion are in my top 5, too!

Just found your new TR!! i took my son at 5 months last Aug (during Hurricane Faye!) and then again in Dec at 9 months. Let me know if you want any tips!!

I'll also be about 33 weeks along, like you were last year, so I may go back and read last year's TR for some hints. We'll miss you by a few days..we check in on the 28th.

I didn't have any probs with getting ADRs but also didn't have tough places like the Fan. Package or CRT. Glad it worked out for you!!

Can't wait for more

You'll love CP for breakfast - the food is wonderful, and we loved the characters. Plus, as you said, there's nothing like walking down a virtually empty Main Street!!

I can't wait to see the girls' dresses! Unfortuately, my girlie girl is (gasp) showing signs of growing out of the princesses. No sign of Hannah Montana or High School Musical, though, so I think we're safe. She says (right now) that she wants to do BBB when we go next summer, so that's on our list right now. I hope nothing changes, since we've never been there before and she's my only girl.

If Marry Poppins is coming to Cincinatti, we might have to head over. When will it be there??? Mom and I have taken DD (she'll be 8 in July) to see a couple of shows - most notably the Lion King last fall right before Thanksgiving. It was worth going to just to watch her face, especially when the animals paraded past her (we managed to snag isle seats). I was glad I'd seen the show before, because I just kept wanting to watch her. You guys will love going to a show together!

I'm also enjoying the picture countdown. A great way to get a Disney fix!

Hope you are out enjoying this wonderful weather! That looks like a great top 5 list to me!!

So today was beautiful... and we work outside all day- mulch, weeds, trimming bushes oh my! Glad it is done, wish my plants were planted, and even more I wish my task for tomorrow is done: switching out clothes in the kids closets!

But back to Disney...
today we are looking forward to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (again no pics sorry)


Tonight when I was in the basement, I must admit I have started a Disney laundry basket of goodies! That is not mentioning my box with Disney trip stuff (ponchos, fans, and who knows what else).....

I hope to post plans for HS soon.... and Emily's top five (which I got today)but I am exhausted....

Hannah and I have so much in common!

I think it is so fun that she and I have the same favorite ride. Emily is 39 inches in her new shoes, boy I would love for her to be 40 in seven weeks... which isn't likely!

Love Hannah's list -- Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion are in my top 5, too!

I wonder what will happen having all the parks this trip, if she will change her top five?

I am very interested in tips for 9 month olds. I keep thinking in the next two months he probably will be crawling, eating some table foods, and probably done nursing (although this does not matter to me). Congrats on the new baby--- is it a girl or boy?

As for going that pregnant---- overdrink the water is my biggest advice. I always was drinking, and surely saw every bathroom. Luckily most were clean (sans the Poly and Chef Mickey incident)! Plus a dip in the pool everyday at least once was heavenly! I don't regret going and loved the family of four trip!

Glad you enjoy the countdown. I know someday Hannah will not love the princesses, and it will be a big change. I guess that is why we eat at the castle and see characters now... someday they won't want to. Mary Poppins is coming in the spring... April perhaps?

Hope you are out enjoying this wonderful weather! That looks like a great top 5 list to me!!

We worked hard, I and were filthy! It was rewarding to have it done though.

We saw Mary Poppins in London a few years ago, the show is amazing. The set, the effects, etc. Very cool!
Glad you got your yard in shape, and are tackling those other necessary evils! The annual spring cleaning!

Your DD has a great top 5!

Can't wait to hear about your basket of goodies!!

Big Thunder Mountain -- have you ridden it at night before? I hear that is supposed to be really fun! (I always close my eyes for most of the ride, so it always seems like nighttime to me! )

 

[Lady Lallie]

I'd really like to ride Big Thunder Mountain at night, too. It's a fun ride. I'm also a little bit tempted to go on Splash Mountain at night....just a little bit.

I was pricing out Mary Poppins tickets in NYC last night. I was so tempted to buy some for my Birthday in September but reason won out.

So today.... we are excited for Test Track. The real question is will Hannah finally ride it, she makes it in the building, hate the loud noise in the que and left with DH. I hope we get her on it, I think she will enjoy! When she took the piece off today I said we can ride it together, I think with my mom and I she might be okay! Here is a picture of my three on another car ride from Friday night at Kings Island:

I cannot believe that Luke actually rode it with the girls. He had a lot of fun on the carousel, train, and all the rides he could ride. Just getting ready for Disney I guess.

Now no more DIS... closets await! Perhaps a real update later!

 

[shannon47142]

what a cute picture!! Luke is getting so big!

 

[Lady Lallie]

All three kiddos look so cute. I can't believe how much older Hannah looks!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I love how your two girls seem very concerned with what Luke is doing!

 

[dddisrunner]

I am sooooo far behind! OK going back! Yay for Jammin Jungle parade, we have never seen it either...usually can't make it in that park long enough to see it! Maybe we will go back on an afternoon just for that! We LOVE Figment too, what a great place to cool off and relax! I hope you do get to see Mary Poppins! LOVE Hannah's top five...soooo cute that she made a list BTMRR is Eric's favaorite nighttime ride, he says it's cool Yay for laundry baskets full of Disney goodies Usually means the trip is getting closer Finally, Test Track, I hope Hannah finds the courage to ride! The picture of the 3 kids riding together is just precious!

Glad to hear you liked Mary Poppins. The yard is well getting there... I still need to plant and stuff, but I am planning to wait a week or two before I do that.

Big Thunder Mountain -- have you ridden it at night before? I hear that is supposed to be really fun! (I always close my eyes for most of the ride, so it always seems like nighttime to me! )

I have not rode it at night for a while, if ever. I hope to ride it a lot this trip, since I sat it out last year.

I'd really like to ride Big Thunder Mountain at night, too. It's a fun ride. I'm also a little bit tempted to go on Splash Mountain at night....just a little bit.

Go go go! Can you make it when they have the 15 dollar tickets? (mousesavers)

what a cute picture!! Luke is getting so big!

I know he is a big boy... starting to crawl (backwards)!

All three kiddos look so cute. I can't believe how much older Hannah looks!

When I look at the pics of her when she turned 4 at WDW I realize how much she too has changed.

I love how your two girls seem very concerned with what Luke is doing!

They were super excited to ride with him.

Life just interupts DISing... but that is okay!

 

[MeMom]

Cute picture. I'm sure that was a fun evening!
It is good practice for Disney World.

The first thing I noticed was the girls focused in on Luke.
I know you have plenty of help taking care of him.

I hope Hannah ends up sticking it out with Test Track. That's a fun ride, and she'll feel like such a big girl getting to share it with you.

Have fun with those closets. I did a whole room this weekend that was being used as a gigantic catch-all area. It took a while, but it looks like a real room now - so much better than it did!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I LOVE that pictures of the kids! Soooo cute! That Luke is a serious driver!
