A Bittersweet Return... Winkler's TR ~ Many Pics! Our time is over!

Hey my friend....love all the new pictures!!! Isabelle sure is a little cutie-pie! Can't wait to read more and see more pictures!!!! :goodvibes

(I am getting excited about seeing that new Toy Story ride)!!!
 
I always wanted to say thank you. Your thread seems like the perfect place to do so. As you can see by my date I have been a closet Diser for over 2 years. But by my post, I am one of the biggest lurkers. My favorite place is the Trip Reports.

I am on here at least once a day. I always wanted to send a mass thank you to all of the Trip Reporters for sharing their lives with us. Your report has inspired me to do so.

Thank you for sharing your life and family with us. You have made at least me feel like a part of your family as you have gone through all your emotions and days. I am praying for you.

We had a bittersweet trip of our own in 2003, my cousin (21) died in a car accident exactly 3 months before our huge family trip to the Mouse. His mom, my aunt decided at the last minute that going to Disney with her daughter and the rest of her family was a great way to remember him. It seems Disney is a place where you can remember your family at some really happy times. I am glad we took that trip, because it was the last trip I ever got to take with my grandfather (he went with us on every one of our 20 some trips prior). So those bittersweet memories were just what we needed.

You are a beautiful family, I will always pray for you and keep you in my thoughts.

I found the rest of the pictures, but I can't use photobucket from school.
 
Great update, thanks for sharing with us. I love the concentration on Isabelle's face when she was playing games with Matt!
 
Thanks for the update, glad to see you back! I've missed reading about how you are doing.
 

Hey Alicia! I loved the update..I still have alot of catching up to do.
I did get your message the other day but I have been soooo busy. My cell phone died 2 days ago and I just remembered to charge it today. I will give you a call tommrrow.

Thanks!
Great Update girlie!! Isablelle looks sooo adorable in both outfits. Miss ya!

Thanks Tanya, miss you too!

Farrah- I love your new siggie photo!!!!
 
Ok guys and gals- I have an update, but since I can't get on photobucket, the pictures will have to come later, hopefully today.

So Friday was a big day for us! After a quick bite at Pop FC, we started off our day with photos of course! Isabelle complained about the pictures, just briefly.

Then it was straight to Fantasyland. As an afterthought, I thought we’d try to wake up Tink, luckily I didn’t get Isabelle all fired up about it, because another little girl got to wake her. There were some adorable baby clothes in that shop, though! I almost left with two outfits! LOL! This may be a good time to mention that I am pregnant! 5 weeks!!!! Not that I want to take away from my TR, but I thought you would want to know. Feels like a normal pregnancy, I’m so TIRED!!!
Anyway, we visited with a sweet CM for probably 15 min, before I pulled Matt away, Isabelle was getting bored!

We headed for Dumbo, Matt offered to take pictures while Isabelle and I rode. This was a hard ride for he and I, it was Levi’s first.

No sooner had we gotten on and it started to rain! Isabelle and I had quite a bit of white on! So we got off, deciding to come back later. The carrousel was covered!
(carrousel)
Back to Dumbo, this time I kept the camera. We got a slightly damp, same dumbo!

After Dumbo, Isabelle headed for a very SHORT line to see Ariel!

We got off and decided to head to another area. We walked out on the side of the castle and I saw a photo op! I snapped these before a CM could chase us off the stool! LOL!

We headed down Main Street as the trolley pulled along these singers and dancers.

I had read on here about the fun photo ops at the camera center in MK, (is it the Emporium?). So we ducked in to see! It is very neat! There are all of these scenes you can pose in and a small theatre that tells the history of Mickey (it would be a good spot to breastfeed, if you needed one, b/c it isn’t very busy and it is ACed). For whatever reason, however, my camera would not focus!!!! These are the photos I got.
(emporium)
As we were heading back out, Mary Poppins was doing a M&G so we stopped to visit!
(mary)
We headed up the ramp from there and boarded the train. This was such a wonderful day, we taking things in slowly and enjoying the sights!
(train)
We got off the train in Fronteirland. Isabelle wanted another round on BTMRR. I took my camera!!!!

You can get some really neat and fun photos by taking your camera out on a ride, although I’m sure you are not supposed to!

We walked over to Adventureland and rode the carpets again, visited the tiki room, then went on PotC again!

image1012-1.jpg

When we got off PotC it was POURING!!!! This was the one day I opted to NOT take my bag, b/c quote from Matt, “This may be the last year you can go without hauling a diaper bag for a while.” And it was hurting my back, so NO PONCHOS! And as I said before, Isabelle and I had a LOT of white on! So, we shopped! Matt finally had picked out a few shirts he might like to get. He wasn’t sure of the size, which was what had held him back all week, so he tried them on!!! If anyone was ever curious, there IS a dressing room in the shop at the exit of PotC! LOL! He ended up needing a XL! My DH, who was wearing mediums a year earlier, needed an XL! He made his purchase and I checked the rain, still a drizzle. Then I spotted a M&G with Peter and Wendy.

I had been watching all day for Alice to pop out, but after the Photographer scanned our card he told me she wasn’t out on Friday!!!! I was devastated!
 
Another great update, can't wait to see the pics!! :surfweb: And CONGRATS on your pregnancy!!!! Best wishes for a very healthy and easy pregnancy!!:cutie: Sending pixie dust your way, all the way from Massachusetts!!!:goodvibes
 
Thanks everyone! I forgot my flash drive, so I only have Photopass picture now. I'll plug them in!
