A Baptism, MNSSHP, & FD...sweating our way through 6 days at POP!! Completed!

[eandesmom]

great updates and really good news on the test results!

 

[praisehisname]

Looks like Juliana (and you!) had an awesome time at the pool!

 

[tinkgurl]

Oooh POP looks so cool! I'd love to be by the big Mickey phone because we actually had one of those at home!

Such a fun few pics of showing Juliana how to play Twister! And at the pool...she's just so cute! Love her smiles. What a fun way to spend the day just hanging around the Resort.

 

[IBelieveInTheMagic]

I'm glad to hear the news on Juliana's test results so far!! Is she still running a fever and coughing? My DS just had this exact thing and his fever was up to 102 so I thought it was going to be the dreaded H1N1 but it apparently wasn't. He was coughing pretty bad but the fever broke after about 36 hours and he missed a day of school last week. I hope she is on the mend!

Aww...love the POP pictures, of course and it looks all so familiar! How fun to do the pool time and that's what they love isn't it?

I'm so stinkin' excited to hear about your MNSSHP next!

Great photos, Tim. I have to say how impressed I am that there are SO MANY pics of you this time around. I hope this isn't a "one time" thing. You really are a great looking family.

Well this was mostly a one time thing!! LOL It probably worked out like that because I don't have a water proof camera! LOL

Thank you for the compliment!

Great update! Claire loves the pool too. I hope that our next trip we can take at least half a day for pool time.

I remember your TR. Claire was like a fish.. she was loving that pool!

great updates and really good news on the test results!

Thank you... we are relieved as always. We never take these tests for granted. 3 more months we will be at it again.

It was nice to be able to relax... well kinda. I kept checking the time. I didn't want to be late for the party!

Mel told me she had that Mickey phone when she was a kid too! LOL

Did you notice how she was posing while she was standing on my leg in the pool. I think it is the second one, her face is so funny! She's like 'Yea, I know I'm cute!' LOLOL

Her cough is going away she still is running about a 100.5 fever. Her demeanor is much better today. She was her normal self, running around like a maniac! She will be missing dance tomorrow.. we aren't letting her go anywhere. Glad to hear your DS is doing better.

POP is a fun resort... still waiting for your TR! Juliana loves being in the pool. She wanted to stay longer but we had to get ready for the party.

MNSSHP coming up soon... hopefully tonight!

 

[that's nice]

We got back to the room, showered, and finished getting ready. We packed our costumes because it was 91 and humid out and I wasn't going to be walking around with long sleeves on for hours before the party. We walked out of the room at 3:20 to head over to the bus stop.

On the way over-

We were at the bus stop for only a few minutes when the MK bus pulled up. There were 4 guys who sat down in 4 seats next to each other. The bus was getting packed and I couldn't understand why they didn't get up and let some women and kids sit down. I understand that some people can't stand for what ever reason... but all 4 of them? Anyways.. I was standing and Mel was holding Juliana. I couldn't really see them since they were sitting towards the rear of the bus. I was enjoying the ride and we were about to enter the gates to MK.

We were pulling into the bus drop off area and I thought we had some good timing!

I got off the bus first and was looking for Melody. She got off and was holding Juliana... who was passed out! She must of really been tired because she never does this. We put her in the stroller and headed to the gates.

MK was close to empty! It was like night & day compared to Monday.

Since Juliana was sleeping, our plan to get her haircut was thwarted again! We had to figure out a plan. We weren't going to wake her up so we needed to find something to do. We walked towards the hub and the Dream Along With Mickey show just started. We figured we would watch it.. what else could we do?

WAIT A MINUTE.... I know what I could do. Walk over to Aloha Isle and get my Dole Whip Float!!!!!! I come back and drink my float while watching the show!

I was happy. It was in the 90's, I'm on vacation with my 2 favorite girls, and I'm standing in MK drinking a Dole Whip Float.... does it get any better than this? We continued watching the show... it's too bad Juliana didn't get to see it.

After the show, we were trying to figure out what we were going to do.. We decided I would head over to BTMRR and get some FPs while Mel did some more shopping. I walked all the way over to the roller coaster and the FP machines were off. There was only a 5 minute wait. Even Splash Mountain's wait was only 15 minutes. I called Mel but she didn't answer the phone. I decided I'd jump on the WDW Railroad and take the train back towards Main St. I've never was on the railroad before.

Apparently there is no dancing on the railroad either....

Once I got on the train. Mel called me back and told me she would meet me at the Main St. station. Few more pics along the way.

It was a nice relaxing ride over to Main St. When I got there Juliana was awake. When I met up with the girls it was 5:15. The barber shop was already closed. We would have to wait for another trip to get her haircut. We weren't coming back to MK on this trip. We walked over to Fantasyland and the lines were non-existent. We went over to Dumbo since we didn't do it yesterday. Can you believe this line????

It took us less than 10 minutes to get in line and get on Dumbo.

We could of went on a few more rides with no line but we had never seen Ariel either. The line said 30 minutes and that is exactly what it took. It was Juliana's turn and she was excited.

Ariel took her time with Juliana and had a conversation with her. Juliana got her signature and they talked a little more.

It was getting closer to party time, so we went to Cosmic Rays to cool off and grab some dinner. Before we figured out what we wanted, there was a CM playing with the kids and hula hooping. Juliana and I had show our skills again. She is getting pretty good at it. We ordered and found a seat. It was so nice being able to sit in some air conditioning. I took pictures of our food when we were 1/2 way through eating so I'll skip those pictures. LOL I had the chicken, Mel had a burger, and Juliana had a PP&J. We finished up eating and I ran outside to get our costumes. Time to get changed for the party.

To be continued....

oh, too bad, hair cuts are thwarted again. It'll have to go onto March's agenda.

I can't believe those lines!!! Amazing!

Nope doesn't get any better than that- hanging out with people you love, in a half empty park, WITH a Dole Whip float and a party to look forward to. Sweet!

As I get older, I like the train more and more. Used to think it was a big waste of time, but now I'd rather have a few minutes to cool my heels, and soak up some rest. Glad you liked it too.

 

[Halloweenqueen]

That MK day was our best day of the vacation! We had HDDR ADRS for 7:15. It made for a perfect day. Can't wait to see party pictures!

 

[DisneyFed]

Couple of things:

1) Good News on Juliana...I hope all is well today


2) Sweet updates...Man, I love the Halloween Party, I hate that I missed it this year--oh well, maybe next year, maybe not depending on my final "trip" If not, then definitely the next year

 

[tttessa]

Hiya - loving the updates.... we went to a pirates and princess party last year and could not believe how short the lines were!! Good to know that they can be short for MNSSHP too! Guess where we will be next year

That's amazing how empty FantasyLand was! I'm glad Juliana got to meet with Ariel!

We'll see!

I can't believe those lines!!! Amazing!

I know. It's a little late now since we are past Halloween but if people have more than 1 MK day, I'd tell them to go on a party day. The place was empty till the party started!

It was a nice ride. Although I wanted Ana to ride it and ask to be the conductor. March maybe?

Was it dead all day in MK? I couldn't believe the lines- or lack there of! What an awesome day! How did you like HDDR?

Thanks... she still has a slight fever, but besides that she seems ok.

We had a blast at the party. Those pics are coming! Umm a 'trip'? That's what you call it? LOL

Tessa

Well once the party started it was a madhouse! If you are able to do MK before the party it would be key!

That's amazing how empty FantasyLand was! I'm glad Juliana got to meet with Ariel!

Denise

She was so excited to finally meet Ariel! I can see why the line takes a while but it was worth it! We never felt rushed and Ariel took her time with each child that came to see her! I should of got in a picture!

 

[KatMark]

Good morning, Tim. How is the little princess feeling today--fever? Results?

Love the update and patiently waiting for the costume pictures.

 

[LoveMyTwoPrincesses]

I'm glad to hear you finally got your Dole Whip! The lack of lines is amazing.

 

[tinkgurl]

Mel told me she had that Mickey phone when she was a kid too! LOL

Did you notice how she was posing while she was standing on my leg in the pool. I think it is the second one, her face is so funny! She's like 'Yea, I know I'm cute!' LOLOL

See...me and Mel are awesome like that!

LOL, that is exactly what it looks like she's saying!

Okay, you're going to laugh at me but..I actually liked that pic you took of the digital clock on the bus. That's one of the things I miss about WDW...when you're on the bus back to your Resort after a long night, that orange glow from the clock shining on everyone's faces, then that little flash when it changes by the minute..Yeah I'm weird.

Wow, Main Street looks so neat decorated like that! I love the display windows! Where was that Mickey one at?

You got your Dole Whip!

Yay, you rode the train! You know I love that! Since you got on at Frontierland, you got to hear Pocohantas sing! I like to sing along with her and annoy Sis.

OMG, Sis and I said the same thing about that picture..it does look like 'No Dancing!'

Aw, love the pic on Dumbo. I can't believe how short that line was!

 

[leslie826]

I am thoroughly enjoying reading your trip report. You have an absolutely beautiful family!!

Costume pics are coming up!

I was shocked the difference in crowds! People must of been avoiding MK because of the shortened hours!

See...me and Mel are awesome like that!

If you say so!

LOL, that is exactly what it looks like she's saying!

LOL She is probably thinking it!

LOL Welcome to the weird bunch! As I stated on your TR we are weird too!!!

Wow, Main Street looks so neat decorated like that! I love the display windows! Where was that Mickey one at?

That was outside the Emporium. There was a Minnie one too but there were people in front of it.. and they weren't moving.

You got your Dole Whip!

MMMMMMmmmmmm So good... especially at 92 degrees!!!!

Yay, you rode the train! You know I love that! Since you got on at Frontierland, you got to hear Pocohantas sing! I like to sing along with her and annoy Sis.

I didn't notice the singing.

OMG, Sis and I said the same thing about that picture..it does look like 'No Dancing!'

I could have subconsciously stolen that from you!

Aw, love the pic on Dumbo. I can't believe how short that line was!

It was amazing how short they were.

I am thoroughly enjoying reading your trip report. You have an absolutely beautiful family!!

to my TR!!!!!

Thank you for the kind words!

The haircut was thwarted again! Bummer, but hey, a princess needs her beauty sleep, right??

I can't wait to see your costumes!

I was shocked she fell asleep. It must of been the rough couple of nights sleep that just caught up with her.

Costumes are coming up!

I didn't notice the singing.

Uh oh...I hope that there was just something wrong the spiel that day!
