I just showed DD10 the photos of her at BBB on the TR and she started giggling again and said "good times! good times!"

She's so cute!!

I DIDN'T come over from Scott's report...but now I'm headed to his!

 

[MomofCKJ]

Stumbled upon your report all by myself! Your kids are adorable and they look like they really enjoyed the BBB! Can't wait for more! Keep it coming!

I just showed DD10 the photos of her at BBB on the TR and she started giggling again and said "good times! good times!"

I just KNOW I would like her if I met her! What a sweet girl!! I love those giggling pictures of her!!! I will have to remember to tell the photopass person to take lots and lots of pictures!! My brother's two girls, Tessa, Lydia, and Arminda all have appointments the day after we get to Florida. We will need a lot of pictures, because I won't be able to see everything!

Wow Jham, what a great TR! I am another follower of Scott and I thank him for sending me your way. I just love a good TR!!

You have the most adorable children. You must be so proud. They all looked so sweet at the BBB and I loved your DD10s giggle pictures!! And DD2 is priceless. I am so happy you got her the "glass slippers". I am sure that "Lella" would approve.

I can't wait to read some more...

Okeydoke - I promised I wouldn't subscribe to any more TRs .....but what's one more, right? I'll be back tomorrow to catch up

 

[jwwi]

Cute kids, love all the pictures from the BBB, the boys hair turned out so adorable and the girls are just precious . We really like the POR, so happy you stayed there. Looking forward to more.

 

[jham]

I like making cameos.

and my readers are not spoiled. If I did not do 2 a day it would take me as long as DM did to finish hers. or worse, Buzz.

Looking forward to more.

Yes, your readers are spoiled. I am still on day 2!

I'm loving your TR so far!!! My heart was pounding reading about you looking for Luke!! My mind would have went right to the river, too. Thank goodness he was just watching tv!

Have I mentioned how absolutely beautiful your children are? Oh, I have?

Your room looks so cool! I've never seen a picture of a room at that resort. It looks so unique!

Can't wait to read more!

Tessa has requested more pictures of Luke!

Thanks Heather! Luke is Mr. photogenic (usually) so I'm sure Tessa will see lots of him! POR was a great resort. We loved it.

How thoughtful to make appointments for the boys as well.

Very sneaky of your DD to get your DH to put the glass slippers on her.

Yes, she's a clever one!

Love the update! The kids look great and DD2 didn't seem to feel left out of the fun. Glad it was a magical time!

It makes me wish I had a little one to take to BBB. I don't think DS15 would go for it! Although he did go through a phase when he was nine where he liked to spike his hair with red gel...

Maybe our wishes will come true this year and we'll have another little one soon who I can expose to my DIS obsession!

Thanks for the great update!

Good luck! And I think DS15 would look great with spikes and hair gel!

BEAUTIFUL! Can't wait to see pics of CRT!

Coming up soon!

I love your report and all your pictures! Can't wait to read more!

Thanks!

I can't believe they said they couldn't spike your little boys hair! That's crazy. His hair seemed plenty long. It looked cute how they did it though!

Loving the report. Keep it coming!

He was just happy to have some blue in his hair!

Awwwww, such great pictures! I can't believe you lost one so early in your trip, I am sure you were petrified. Sneaky Lily getting Daddy to get her slippers. I knew that girl was smart! The boys look great and Jayden looks so pleased with her look: she looks beautiful! I think crocs with socks and a Belle dress are perfect! Can't wait to see more.

Thanks Steph!

Lily looks just darling in her glass slippers. I understand your reluctance to buy them for her though. I have to say that I am lucky DD wore her sneakers with her Cinderella gown to dinner at Park Faire. Lauren is less than graceful and she would have had a very hard time walking in those slippers.

The boys look very "cool!" And DD 10 looks like a princess.

Thanks. And DD10 will love hearing you said that!

What beautiful princesses...and princes

Thank you, I seem to think so

Hi! Scott sent me over here! Going to go back and catch up!

Carrie

Welcome!

oh my! so so beautiful both of your girls! and your boys are so cute too. how cool that they wanted to do that too.

pretty sneaky and hilarious of DD2 with the glass slippers!

you are spoiling us just like scott, with 2 updates today.

Not anymore soon though.

Hi

Love all the pictures from BBB. I came over from Scott's trip report am looking forward to your CRT lunch. We are doing BBB in the morning before the park opens and then CRT.

Welcome! I don't have all the cool graphics that Scott does!

Yayyyy! BBB is such a magical place! I love the "Cool Dude". We really enjoyed our time there. Cute candid picture of Lils with her daddy!

Can't wait to hear about CRT!

What a dreary looking day that was! I can feel how muggy it must've been. Hope the sun came out for you.

Heh, I would have been entertained at the FGIT "fight". Was there magic wands involved?

We loved BBB too! The clouds did lighten up a bit but then...stay tuned...

Just joining and looking forward to more of your report. I have three boys so BBB is out for me. My twins (11) have already told me they are 'too old' for the cool dude look.

I love Lily's traveling dress and the glass slippers , yeah, she's got Daddy right where she wants him.

Can't wait to hear about CRT, also wondering if you got alot of attention with your princes and princesses.

Welcome! And thank you! And we did get lots of attention, but DD2 managed to get the most.

FUN! I want a makeover tooooooooooo!!!!!!

Still waiting for my own person tr from the cruise...

Oh yeah, what day was I on in that anyway? (Last year when we went on our Disney cruise, I was way too askeered to write a TR so I started e-mailing one to my BFF Sugarbees--I didn't finish ) I won't do that here though!

 

[jham]

Great and beautiful pictures of your family. I followed over from Scott's tr.

Quick question, was there a photopass person who shot your family pic in front of the castle that early in the morning? Is that how you received your photopass?

Please keep the wonderful trip report and pictures coming.

Thank you

Thanks! And welcome! There was no photopass photographer in front of the castle. Another family was there and they asked DH to take their picture, so we had them return the favor. We got our photopass card at BBB. They had 2 photographers there.

Loved the pics of your children at the BBB. I didn't know they had something to offer for the princes!

Thanks. I found out on the DIS. They do not advertise anything for boys.

Hi,
I followed you over from Scott's report.

what a great update. all the kids look great. That place was much smaller than I thought it would be.

Thanks, I sort of expected it to be smallish.

hey! oh wait, I read this as "wide". that is why I need my glasses.

Feel free to provide comic relief at any time

She's so cute!!

She can be--at times

You will have a great time. I had all 3 of my kids going at the same time. Fortunately they were next to each other. I'm sooooo jealous of your trip coming up!

Okeydoke - I promised I wouldn't subscribe to any more TRs .....but what's one more, right? I'll be back tomorrow to catch up

Yay! Glad you're here. I shouldn't take too long to catch up

Cute kids, love all the pictures from the BBB, the boys hair turned out so adorable and the girls are just precious . We really like the POR, so happy you stayed there. Looking forward to more.

Thanks, we loved POR too!

Hopefully I will have the CRT update up today. I just have to scan in my photos with Cinderella. I was in such a hurry to order my photopass CD that I forgot to add my CRT and Akershus photos to it! If DD2 will cooperate and have a nap and my scanner will cooperate (it is connected to my messed up computer) I will have it up later today.

 

[jham]

ETA: (finally figured out what that means) I resized all of my photos, not sure why they won't cooperate--sorry for the ginormous ones!

We were all done and paid up at the BBB by 9:00—just in time for park opening. In less than 3 hours we were able to do most of Fantasyland (except teacups and pooh bear).

It was “misting” all morning which really did not faze us at all—hey, it was warm! In January! We had a few minutes left to kill before our ADRs so we stopped by Pooh Bear’s playground.

We had 12:00 ADRs at CRT. Check-in was a madhouse. They kept having problems with their computer and we kept having problems with line-butters. We made it in and got our photos with Cinderella and realized we’d left our autograph books out in the stroller which we’d been forced to re-park about 5 miles away.

the family photo with Cinderella was not so great Here are the 2 Lellas

Lunch was great. DH and I both had the majordomo’s pie (is that what they call it? I can't remember for sure). I was pleasantly surprised. The veggies involved were not your standard peas ‘n’ carrots as I’d feared. It was I think some sort of peppers and zucchini? Maybe some other squash? The veggies were julienned and placed on top so they were nice and tender but crisp. I hate overdone veggies. I also hate underdone meat. I was happy with my lunch

I was worried that the girls would not get wands because they fall outside of the official 3-9 age range, but they did and the boys loved their swords. At one point DS5 was enjoying a good swordfight with the little boy at the next table Oh hey, I was just uploading photos to photobucket and realized I actually accidentally captured this on film (in the background)

DD2 would squeal out each princesses name as she neared our table—I did not realize she knew them all. Not so long ago she called them all Snow White or Nemo (except Cinderella of course).

The two Belles

You may notice the boys were not too interested in getting up for pictures

The kids loved their choclate crowns

the boys are looking full

Bibbidi Bobbidi BOO!

Up next: The rest of Day2 and the big monsoon...do we stick it out?

 

[revrob]

Major Domo's pie - YUMMO! Great update - look forward to the next installment.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I wish I could order that delivered for dinner right now!

This picture is gorgeous! You should frame it!

Thanks! I'm sure it will look better when I lighten it up a bit on photoshop.

[carrie6466]

Thanks for the great update and pics.! I call often trying to get a breakfast or lunch for CRT, hoping for a cancellation on someone's part. So far no luck, but we do have a 4:15 dinner on our arrival day.
