Thanks- I got the idea here on the DIS!! Our 5 year old looks forward to them all week- for instance today he said to me "how many more hours until Disney Night?" Too cute!!

It sounds like you guys have a great night planned! Emily and I had a pixie lunch today. We watched Tinkerbelle and had Pixie Stix to eat (fruit,veggie & cheese kabobs)

ooh I love it! I want to have a Pixie Lunch!! I have been trying for a more "girly" Disney Night. Cinderella or Enchanted may be coming up soon.

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!

Doesn't feel like spring too much here in MA.

It's Friday and you know what that means.... DISNEY NIGHT!

I just got back from the grocery store with the two boys (Every time I go, I say to myself...."why didn't I just wait for Wayne to get home and go alone?") They both like to sit in the HUGE cart that is also a car, (but has very little room for your food and is really hard to push around) and it puts them a little too close if you ask me! So, they each want to hold and eat EVERYTHING I put in the cart. By the time I get to checkout everything has been tested out! I also spend probably $30.00 more when they are with me because they "have" to have everything.

oh yeah, back to Disney Night! Tonight is DH's turn to pick a movie.
Movie: Invincible
Activity: When Daddy gets home (Usually around 3:30) we will take the boys outside and play a nice game of football!
Dinner: We got Italian sausages, hot dogs, stuff to make nacho's (beer for us grown-ups) and for dessert- they had to get these whoopi pies (they look like elmo!) - The dessert has nothing to do with football but they really wanted them and they were cute.

How fun!

No, it really doesn't! My heat is on 70 and my house is freezing.

We had a great night. The boys actually watched most of it - I had thought they wouldnt because it wasn't a cartoon. We had a lot of fun playing football today. Only 6 more Disney Nights before the big trip. So exciting!!

 

[my2disneyboys]

wow- the weekend is over and that means back to work for me UGH!! Atleast the DIS is back up and running because I don't think I could get through a whole day of work w/o it. (hee)

We had a nice weekend. Did some shopping, had a belated St. Pattys day lunch with the inlaws and visited friends on Saturday and Sunday. Phew- I cant believe we crammed all that in 2 days. Weirdest thing- today we were outside playing and it was pretty nice out- went inside and looked out and there were HUGE snowflakes falling.

Isn't it SPRING?

Isn't the weather at this time of year weird! We had high 60's this weekend but are expecting a blizzard at the end of the week.

The weekends do go by too fast. And yes this time of year is weird. A few weeks ago, my kids were sledding in 9 inches of snow, and the following weekend we were walking on the bike path at 60 degrees with snow piles melting on the sides of us. I can't wait til May

 

[my2disneyboys]

For ChicagoShannon- I tried to post on your posting but it didnt show up. (maybe I am not allowed to post a pic to someone's report other than my own? ) Anywho- here is a picture of our tree before we decorated... but you can see Tink up at the top! Her wings light up different colors!

Oh and we will miss you at DHS by one day! We are going on May 7th.

 

[my2disneyboys]

So I made a couple of changes to my plans. One of them is that I canceled Tutto Italia (which I am sure me and DH would have loved) but we have a "fancy" dinner that night, so I wanted to do something the boys will enjoy more. A few weeks ago I took the boys to the Aquarium and they LOVED it. Owen kept "ooohing and aghing" So GUESS the new place???

Coral Reef! I got a reservation at noon on May 8th!! I am pretty excited for it. It actually makes total sense because we have the Storybook Princess Meal at 8:05AM and then we plan the morning in Living Seas side of things and then to leave after lunch. We plan on going back around 4 for touring World Showcase and having dinner at LeCellier and Illuminations. My favorite!! - I don't know what it is about this show, but I always get such chills and always get a tear in my eye while I watch it. DH too (Don't tell anyone though! hee!) Here is a picture of Owen and Daddy enjoying Illuminations (Owen is 8 weeks old!)

Owen is wearing Mickey Polynesian PJ's- These were my favorite on him!!

Here is one of Daddy and Myles enjoying the show!

I also made a couple of reservations for the only two days I had CS plans. On DHS day- I made a reservation at 50's Prime Time and on Mothers Day- I made a reservation at the Plaza (we are already eating there but I think it is our kind of place and we are really looking forward to a big juicy cheeseburger and chocolate shake! (Having this twice isn't going to be a problem!) I think this way, we come out ahead on the Deluxe plan (I don't want to waste a meal credit on a slice of pizza when I could get a whole meal at LeCellier instead!

Let me know what you think of the changes!!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Great changes! The boys will LOVE Coral Reef, we ate there last year and Emily loved watching the fishies! We were fortunate enough to be seated next to the aquarium, but all of seats have a great view.

We'll be at the Plaza on the 10th too, for lunch!! The Plaza is delish! I know what you mean about not wasting the DxDP credits on CS. I think we have 1 credit each to use on CS, but we did book 5 Signature or 2TS credit meals. Yummy!

Oh no way!!? What time is your ADR for? I think ours is for 12:00. I will have to make sure to say hi and Happy Mothers Day to you if I see you!!- My name is Nickie BTW (hee)

Hi Nickie!! Our ADR is at 1:00pm so you'll probably be finishing up as we are coming in. Save me a chocolate milkshake!! If I see you, I'll definitely say "HI!"

 

[chicagoshannon]

Thanks for posting that. I love the tinkerbelle! I'm jealous of your Coral Reef plans. DH didn't like the menu so we wont' be going there this trip. Maybe if we ever go while on the dining plan we'll do it.

The plaza looks pretty good. Maybe we'll try it (if we can get lucky and get an ADR same day, lol)

I'm not sure why your post didn;'t show on my PTR. It was weird. I could see that you "posted" but when I looked at the thread it wasn't there.

 

[3princesses+aprince]

Ooooh, coral reef! I'm sure your boys will LOVE that. That's going to be exciting. Are you telling them about it, or will it be a surprise when you walk in.

Your other ADRs look great too, good job. I wish I was going to be there on Mother's day. That was our original plan, but then we thought about it, and figured it would be mean that my stepson would not be able to see his mother on Mother's day. So we changed plans to leave after.

 

[my2disneyboys]

So I just got off the phone with Disney Dining and spoke to a great CM. He said for me to drive to Poly/ park for free/ have my breakfast at Kona and then take the monorail to MK and then come back and get my car when I am done. I thought I would get towed or that this isnt ok to do. He said it was and I should do this.

What do you think???? I would certainly make my life MUCH easier....

Hi Nicole,
I finally made it over here. Your trip plans look great and you have a gorgeous family! I have thought about trying POFQ a few times so I can't wait to hear how you like it there. Your dining plans look excellent as well. I love the pooh character descriptions you used for all of you . So any luck with WW, thinking of joining myself. Having the worst time losing the rest of the Thomas' weight and he will be 5 LOL.

Hi! Thank you for the nice words. I will let you know for sure how we like it. Every time I call Disney Dining the CM always says it's their favorite resort. (so that is a good sign!)

I had such great results on WW like 8 years ago (before kids) but since I have really struggled and I have tried to re-join several times. Thanks for asking but personally for me I just can't keep motivated and end up loosing my money every time I join!!

If they say it's ok then I'd do it. It's an off time of year so I don't think they'll be too strict about it.
