9/12 great article ! Who am I to say no to going to WDW?

[Lady Lallie]

I love the monorail. There is something exciting about stepping on it for the first time every trip!

 

[cjackearl]

The monorail is right up there with Cindrella's castle and Mickey Mouse that just screams Disney. It's such a fun "ride" and the views approaching the MK and the resorts are really cool.

Okay, TOTALLY with you on the Astro Orbiter -- WAY fun! Just another iconic Disney ride IMO. It IS high, but that is part of the fun, seeing everything WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY up there.

Oh, we love the monorail! It is so Disney to me! You must have been riding in the front -- everyone looks so excited!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

The monorail is just so Walt........love it, especially up front!

 

[tinkgurl]

Ahh I can't wait to ride the monorail and hear that "voice" again!

 

[ladybugmom]

LOVE the monorail pics!! How cool!! Whoo hoo for 35 days!! It will FLY by!!

 

[MegansMom]

Literally, still one of my all-time favorite rides---it is just so classic Disney!!!

 

[dddisrunner]

Yay for the monorail! Hoping the boys get to ride up front, they never have!

Great monorail pics ... definitely a Disney classic.

Laura - that is great you can still ride spinny rides. Heights bother me a little but I cannot ride anything that goes round and round.

Today we are looking forward to

the fountains at DTD!

For my girls they are like an attraction in itself.. and it allows DH and I to do some alone shopping while the other watches the girls! Now we wear/bring suits, an dry outfit and towels for fun!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Those are adorable fountain pictures!

 

[cjackearl]

I agree, sweet fountain pictures. Good idea to let the kiddos have fun while the parents shop (one at a time, of course!) I may steal this idea. I know Ian would rather splash than shop. Come to think of it, George probably would too.

You can get a pretty decent 'fix' on youtube. There's a complete Magic Kingdom loop, and the voice is easily heard all through it. You might want to give it a try as you are getting ever closer, closer, closer to the real thing!

The Imagineer who envisioned them must've been a man!!

Pix are soooo adorable!!

I will be back later after American Idol to catch up.... but I cannot wait until my girls see this

http://www.disneystore.com/disney-parks/autograph-books-pens/c/70997/

So so so cute! ( I hope the girls pick the Tink one!) I think the fact the online disneystore now has some park merchandise is so awesome...

My kids had so much fun in the fountains last trip - my older DS, especially. I can't wait to see what the little guy will do next summer. I didn't bring dry clothes, though, because we were lugging around so much baby gear as it was. I definitely will next time - the poor kid was still wet when we got back to the hotel 8 hours later! (not that he minded, strange child that he is...)

I'd also like to get DH and the two older kids up in front of the monorail. We've always been in "go-go-go" mode, and have never wanted to wait around. With seven days next summer, surely we'll have more time to breathe. I might actually have to send the baby in, too (I keep having to remember that he won't be a baby then) just to make sure he doesn't go nuts. But they only take four, right? DH will have to video for me...and maybe I'll just go the next time. I'm so excited that you're so close. I do have to admit that I'll miss the daily updates at that point, though!

Clay and I had a blast on Astro Orbiter! That was the only attraction during the entire trip that we actually got to ride together; the rest of the time it was Clay and Alison, Hannah and me. Clay is 6'4" and pushing 298 lbs. I'm 5'6" and 145 lbs. (and yes I just told my weight! LOL). He got in first and then I got in; and the fact that we even got in together was a major miracle! We did nothing but laugh the entire time. I'm not too big on heights but I really enjoyed the ride and the view was just incredible. I wish I'd thought about taking pictures while we were up there. Of course, that' assuming I would have been able to reach the camera! LOL It was even funnier when we were getting out of the car! I thought for sure they were going to have to bring the WD40 to get us out of there!!!

I remember thinking those are tight quarters up there, probably not a good ride for a pregnant lady like me last summer.

I love the monorail. There is something exciting about stepping on it for the first time every trip!

I hope to get on it our first full day... on the way to O'Hana's best friend breakfast!

The monorail is right up there with Cindrella's castle and Mickey Mouse that just screams Disney. It's such a fun "ride" and the views approaching the MK and the resorts are really cool.

I want the monorail playset someday. My nephew got it this winter.. do you think Luke needs it yet?

Okay, TOTALLY with you on the Astro Orbiter -- WAY fun! Just another iconic Disney ride IMO. It IS high, but that is part of the fun, seeing everything WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY up there.

I hope to get on it some time this trip!

Oh, we love the monorail! It is so Disney to me! You must have been riding in the front -- everyone looks so excited!

We were indeed, and did not even ask to do it, we were headed from EPCOT to TTC.

The monorail is just so Walt........love it, especially up front!

I love pulling up to MK and getting off there... that just brings a smile to my face thinking about it!

Ahh I can't wait to ride the monorail and hear that "voice" again!

I wonder what the message is now....

LOVE the monorail pics!! How cool!! Whoo hoo for 35 days!! It will FLY by!!

We are seemingly super busy right now. Softball, preschool graduation, birthdays, end of year stuff at school for me ....

Literally, still one of my all-time favorite rides---it is just so classic Disney!!!

one of mine too!

Yay for the monorail! Hoping the boys get to ride up front, they never have!

Your trip is super long... your way.... I think going at odd times helps if that makes sense... we were the only ones on the EPCOT TO TTC station so it happened.

Great monorail pics ... definitely a Disney classic.

Laura - that is great you can still ride spinny rides. Heights bother me a little but I cannot ride anything that goes round and round.

I ride the scrambler weekly with the girls to keep me in shape at Kings Island... it is a favorite

Those are adorable fountain pictures!

Last year Em was too fast for good pics. Poor Luke might not get in, no way he will be walking, and his backwards crawl is a nightmare. He might be shopping with me, poor boy!

I agree, sweet fountain pictures. Good idea to let the kiddos have fun while the parents shop (one at a time, of course!) I may steal this idea. I know Ian would rather splash than shop. Come to think of it, George probably would too.

The World of Disney store without kids, midday, non-weekend is my favorite thing. I hate when it is super crowded... I could spend hours in there (and probably have)

You can get a pretty decent 'fix' on youtube. There's a complete Magic Kingdom loop, and the voice is easily heard all through it. You might want to give it a try as you are getting ever closer, closer, closer to the real thing!

Tomorrow we will have to check it out... we have not been Youtubing since we got over the terrible snow.... but we might have to do some to get prepared!

I'm gonna go do that right now!

If Hannah or Em were awake I would be doing it too...

The Imagineer who envisioned them must've been a man!!

Pix are soooo adorable!!


Kathy

I agree! Thanks Kathy!

cute,cute pictures of Emily!!

It is the small things that make the trip, the wave from Snow White in the Parade at Hannah all decked out in her Snow White Dress, the ice cream all over faces and outfits, the corny jokes on the buses to the parks, the small details you notice on a ride you have ridden many times before... I just love WDW

I didn't bring dry clothes, though, because we were lugging around so much baby gear as it was. I definitely will next time - the poor kid was still wet when we got back to the hotel 8 hours later!

He will always be your baby... as Hannah is still my baby, even though she is the oldest and is five.
It does stink about only fitting four in front, there would be room for one more IMO.

Glad you like the updates, I wonder if it is overkill.....
