A Tale of [family madness in] Two Cities - Final Thoughts & PTR Link!

[jenseib]

Love the updates. I'm so glad you didn't have to fight too many crowds that morning. And glad you got a wheelchair! It does look cold though.

 

[A.Mickey]

Wow! Glad the park was so empty! You did go at the most crazy time of the year?!?! Right?!?!

Liking the back side of Bo !

 

[DreaGirl]

I'm glad you got some sleep, but Joe's not feeling well has me nervous. I hope he doesn't start feeling worse.

When we were at HS a lot of people were having trouble with the FP machines too.

Henry is so cute. I remember A. being exactly like that, but this last trip when she was almost 3.5 she totally grew out of the shyness around character phase.

I agree, 40% off tickets would be awesome! Then we could split a room, even at rack rates, and that would be a true discount trip! Sorry about your AP expiring. That is a sad day!

Oh, B. doesn't wake up at home until around 8. It's on vacation that he is an early bird. He doesn't want to miss a moment I guess.

What's up with the lack of crowds? Did you just get lucky? Was it the weather? Was it the lack of discounts offered during that week?

It just seems so weird not to have any crowds...

I mean not that I'm complaining..I'm sure you didn't.

I'm glad Mom let you sleep in, you probably needed it.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Why did I have a feeling you had slept in? Glad it turned out okay with the wheelchair!

I have never seen Bo's backside before! Cracking me up!

Henry is so cute with the Cars characters! He already seems so much older than the last trip! Tell him to stop growing up so quickly!

 

[kschafer]

wow, what a quiet morning! Bo has a cute backside

 

[ClaireW]

Enjoyed the update, and doesn't Henry just look so big in some of those pictures?
How's the big boy bed going? Hopefully he's still sleeping well and it's not too !!!

 

[DWGal210]

Henry is so sweet! What a doll - your family picture next to Lightning McQueen was a good one - how about a Christmas card pic for next year?

I'm glad they had wheelchairs available; I know just what you mean about having a plan and then not sticking to it. But at least you got some rest!!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I hate mornings when you have to rush around and feel all out of sorts. But, it looks like all was well and you were able to secure the wheelchair. That's good news. What is with the lack of crowds at such a busy time of year for WDW? That is crazy! But excellent craziness of course. Great update Brook. Henry with his little sippy cup is adorable!

 

[jenjolt]

What a great update Brook!! I love an empty DHS!!! Especially exploring the streets of America!! YAY for Henry enjoying the Muppets and getting to see his beloved Cars!!!

Anxiously awaiting more!!

 

[All7OfUs]

I got a couple of updates behind, but that's the beauty of TRs- you can go through them a bit more leisurely than over on the PTRs- at least it seems like that to me. But I digress...

I love that you had the no-crowd mojo! You got a lot of taking in the park done. I think it's so neat that the Muppets was your in-laws first 3D attraction and that they liked it! I also think that Henry warming up after the Cars fact was really cute. Funny how sometimes you don't know what kind of impression things make until later- sometimes even years later!

 

[micandminforever]

Once again the pictures were great. Henry has the cutest expressions and you can see loves his cars.

Great update Brooke. No worries about oversleeping - it looks like there was no one there. You sure picked a great day to visit.

Henry's second encounter with cars and he is still shy ....how cute!

The view from the studio room is excellent. I would have LOVED that view (I got the bus stop).

I still love the muppet show, although I agree it needs an update. But it's a hoot the first time you see it.

Looking forward to more......

And....it is a sad day when your AP expires.....

Hi Brook! Joining in a little late! For some reason I missed the start of your TR before our trip

I love your TR so far! I, of course, love all of your pictures of Kidani! I wish I had thought to get a few pizzas for the room! We had a interesting first night with trying to get dinner, you have to come on over to my TR to find out what I mean

I LOVE that you and Joe went MK that night all by yourselves and bagless! Didn't it feel great!? I took a bag in March when it was just DH and I but it was small. It was sooooo nice not to have a giant bag full of stuff, a stroller and 8500 things the kids absolutely had to take with them! I can't wait until they're a little bigger and I can get away with a small bag!

I don't blame you for freaking a little about sleeping late! I would have too! But it seems to have worked out well!

The pictures of Henry and Lightening McQueen and Mater are too cute of course!!

Can't wait for more!

 

[CJsMom]

Back side of Bo...

No crowds during Christmas week? What's up with that?

Love the pictures!

 

[MaryAz]

Great update. Love all the pics. Henry is just so darn cute!

 

[ladybugmom]

Oh wow!! HS was DEAD that day--how wonderful!!! What cute pics of Henry and Lightening McQueen--just precious!!

 

[Panotchr]

I have to share something with you....

I teach Kindergarten, but I also teach phonics for a company called Zoo-phonics. I fly around the country teaching teachers how to use the product.

So.. why is that important to you??? Well, I flew to Orlando recently.. no, not to play... but I did have a great room overlooking DTD....
Before I got on the plane, I had to eat and I went to Nathan's ... imagine my surprise that when I ordered the corn dog nuggets.... I thought of YOU... a person I don't even know. LOL I had to laugh at myself a little, but frankly, I hope you felt the love LOL

 

[aceys_h0ney]

Oh no to sleeping in! That would have had me
Glad it worked out to get FIL a wheelchair still.

I can't believe how empty the park is! Love the pics of Henry saying cheese to Mcqueen. Too cute!

I am nervous about Joe not feeling the best. You guys have the worst luck when it comes to everyone being healthy. I am hoping to read that it was temporary!

Oh we are planning a trip for June. Just waiting to see what deals come out. I was really crossing every finger and toe for the 40% off Deluxe. We got custody of my step son (reason for having to cancel last trip, so we were upset at first but having him is worth way more then a trip) anyway so we need a bigger room. Well Disney sent me a 30% off code and I am not sure yet if we can swing that. Keep your fingers crossed that they send my other account a 40% off!
