A Mouse, Two Little Minnows who wear out Grumpy and Test Track Moves to Naples 11/26

[OhioDisneyLover]

Kathy,

Love the update! Those two minnows sure are adorable!

We had a great time meeting you and Mark. I wish we could have spent more time together. We were sure having a great time talking with you both! I'm happy to have new friends for life.

Looks like you had a good time at MK that night. We were there too later that evening.

What a wonderful evening. Touring with liitle ones can take some patience, but it looks like the 2 "minnows" were perfect angles!

I see Sophia lives in Ohio, I do too, but I think we are about 2 hours from each other.

 

[Simba22]

Wow I somehow fell about 6 pages behind!

I'm so glad you got to meet Pooh, Tigger, and Piglet before leaving the Halloween party! What a great surprise!

I hope we get half as lucky with characters as you guys did! 7 Dwarfs, The Pooh Characters, AND Miss Bunny! How awesome!

Cayley & Avery are so cute! Sounds like you all had a really fun time! Great updates, Kathy! I'm jealous of all the time you guys are spending at the Dig Site! I'm hoping to get there at least once on this trip!

Your pics from Boma are fabulous! That is one of my favorite places in WDW for breakfast but since we don't use a car while we're there, it's a huge pain in the rear to get to. I love their French Toast though and you are right about the juice!

That's a beautiful update Kathy! There is something extra special about being at Disney and seeing the magic through children's eyes. Of course we're all kids at heart.

Another great Update Kathy!!! I have a feeling I am gonna be worn out touring with my 8 vacationers ~~~~Maybe I'll need the smelling salts instead of Carol!!!

 

[onelilspark]

Phew...all caught up!

Aren't those "minnows" adorable? We had so much fun with them.

Thank you; I wish we had more time too. Perhaps we'll be there again at the same time next year (if Nicki ever figures out the schedule ).

We've not traveled with "little ones" since 2000 and our kids were 11 and 13 at that time...so ten years has certainly put a few years on us.

Thanks, Ali. Mark and I really made an effort to find characters this trip as we missed so many the last trips.

Cayley and Avery are cute...and very well behaved girls.

Mark and I always go back to the Dig Site for a midday swim...especially on longer trips.

With staying at CSR, you could have just taken a bus to AK and then a bus to AKL from there. But it is time consuming when you don't have a car (one of the many reasons we DRIVE).

That's a beautiful update Kathy! There is something extra special about being at Disney and seeing the magic through children's eyes. Of course we're all kids at heart.

It was really fun watching the kids faces. Even though they had just been there in May, you could see the magic through them.

Another great Update Kathy!!! I have a feeling I am gonna be worn out touring with my 8 vacationers ~~~~Maybe I'll need the smelling salts instead of Carol!!!

I think with 8 you are going to need NAPS often.

Phew...all caught up!

You had a lot to catch up on since you've been gone.

 

[longing2Batdisney]

OH! Kathy I don't know how I managed but I seem to have fallen behind... even though I did promise you and myself I would not!

but no worries all caught up!

you guys look to have had a blast with Mary and her girls...her girls seems ike such sweet girls and so much fun!

Sounds like you had a wonderful evening at MK. It must have been fun to hang out with two little ones again. We missed Mickey's Philharmagic last time. Mark wasn't really into MK , nor did he comprehend the awesome nature of evening EMHs, so we didn't take full advantage. Oh well. That's why there's another trip...and reading about yours is just making me so excited!

 

[Nermel9]

Great Update! Looks like a fun day at MK! The girls are adorable, sounds like you guys had such a great time together! My DH and I have a great time at Disney, just the two of us, but it must be a lot of fun to go there with kids, hopefully someday!

Connie, please don't worry about it. I put out a lot of updates so I could get back to the CSR thread. I know you'll be here when you can.

Mark did another two games today and has three during the week. Disney money, yes!

We did have so much fun with Mary and the girls.

I think you will find that Mark's attitude about MK and EMH's will change now that you are bringing Max. You MUST do Philharmagic...Max will love it.

Yes, they were sweetie pies and we hope we can see them again on a future trip.

Your day will come to go with kids and you will see it in a totally different light.

Thanks, MaryEllen. I still have a long way to go...but I'm trying to do it while I can remember what we did when (I've had to ask Grumpy a few times and there are a few things neither one of us can remember).

 

[inkedupmomma]

MAN KAT! I skip a couple days of Dis and you update 5 times Great updates! hose lil' minnows are extra adorable!

So glad you got to meet "Jophia" as I like to call them! meeting them was the best thing the Dis has done for me!

Also glad you finally got to see FOLK!!

 

[englishrose47]

Morning Kathy !! Home from work and exhausted !!! The girls came home from the Football game with a KittenThey named her Tinkerbelle !!!! So I am liking her already !!!!

 

[that's nice]

Hi Kathy! I'm glad you like Juliana's thank you letter. She wanted to send you a toy but I had to talk her out of that!

BTW.. up to this point Mark has wore 18 different hats!

For dessert, I had a really delicious piece of chocolate mousse cake which was out of this world:

That looks AWESOME!!!!!

What a great picture! This just SCREAMS CSR to me... someday we will be back as it doesn't look like it is going to happen in December.

We sat at the bar and had some drinks and talked as if we had known each other forever. Mark and Joe hit it off, and Sophia and I carried on our DIS friendship. Before we parted ways, we got a group picture:

Good idea getting drinks before going to MK.

How nice... another DIS meet!!!

We parked the car, got onto the tram and waited for the monorail to take us to our evening of fun. Mary took this picture of us with the girls while we waited for the monorail:

Think they were excited?

They are just TOO cute!!!


How cool.... all 5 of you sitting and eating Mickey bars!

In the last picture the girls looked pooped! I can only imagine what 2 will do to you- my 1 tires me out daily!

 

[englishrose47]

Has Tim started a new game ???Keep tabs on how many hats Grumpy wore !!!!

 

[momcloud]

All caught up and my ticker turned to 1 Month 4 weeks today!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

that reminds me, we need to eat up our mickey bars we brought home with us, hope they dont have freezer burn

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Really enjoyed the updates, and I'm impressed with how many rides you could fit into an evening.

But did Mark HAVE to taunt me with the Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup champion t-shirt? You're killing me.

(I'm a Flyers fan).
