that's anna's favorite princess! although she doesn't really get referred to as a princess too often. but her dad's the chief, so i think she's a princess. anyway, i'm so excited for them to see this show when we go in december! none of them have ever been to DHS (or to MGM, for that matter). it's gonna be fun! i think luke will LOVE toy story mania!

Brooklyn calls her Pocanonnas.

:rotfl2:

You can feel the heat from this instantaneously.

it also makes the water on your camcorder lens show up too since it heats up the lens. ray always has to wipe the lens off during this part.

I will not let evil reign in my Happy Place!

great shot!!! :thumbsup2


i don't know exactly what this is but it's cool!!!

There was a thread on the Theme Parks Board that said they are not bring out the boat at every show now.

:eek: i will be heartbroken if anna and company don't get to see the boat in december. i hope they get enough of a negative response from this to bite the bullet and just include it every night. i hope jill gets to see it tonight!

Anyway, just thought I'd give an update for anyone who wants to picture themselves in Hollywood Studios tonight!

thanks for the update! i so wish i was with them. i think we all do! i bet they're watching the end of fantasmic right now. i will close my eyes and pretend i'm there with them......seeing the boat come around the corner!!! :goodvibes
 
I never noticed Prince Eric's mullet before.
 
Memom, glad Drew is doing better, will keep him in my prayers,

Get Well Soon Drew :)
 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILL. I know you had a magical day. HAppy to hear the Drew is home and will be okay. A hearing loss is better then brain damage. Anywho great TR again. I enjoy reading them.
 
Awesome Fantasmic pictures! Those are great! Were you really close or do you have a great zoom? Or both? ;) We were at the very back the one time we saw Fantasmic so the characters looked like ants! :laughing:

Sounds like Jill is having a nice birthday!
 
I did a walk for ALS yesterday with my boyfriend and his family, and then went out for a friend's birthday, and worked today and caught up on the homework that I've been putting off :rolleyes: so I just read now about Drew. I am so sorry that happened, but I was SO glad to read that he's fine and doing as well as he can be doing after such a thing. I will keep him in my prayers. :hug:

I will say that your ER observations cracked me up even though I was so worried when I was reading! The lady in the wheelchair reminded me of a woman that comes into my work sometimes.

Your Fantasmic pictures are fantastic, like always. :goodvibes Was Jill there tonight for her birthday? I hope that she got the boat version for her birthday!
 
Memom. Your Fantasmic pictures are awesome!!! I see things in your pictures I never noticed when I was there. I've never sat that close nor have I gotten pictures that clear. Thanks for sharing.

I'm so glad Drew is doing better and I'll continue to pray for him and for his hearing. Remember our God is the Great Physician.

:lmao: this just cracks me up! the first time we saw "voyage of the little mermaid" and eric appeared, my DH (who was a disney newbie at the time) said, "who is that?" i whispered, "that's prince eric." and he responded by sitting there a second and then said, "man....he's got a rockin mullet." :rotfl2: now he refers to him as prince mullet instead of prince eric.
 
Happy Birthday to Matt, too, then. How come he's not in Disney World?

Hmmmmm.....that's a good question. But even if I had said it was for 'his' birthday he prob wouldn't have let me go back one month later :confused3

Congratulations on the win! There was much celebrating going on when we were trying to get to the hospital.

It was more fun than I could imagine! :yay:


Hey Dawn....there she is with her back to the camera again!!! :rotfl:


What an AWESOME PIC!!!

I'm with her on this one :laughing:

Anyway, just thought I'd give an update for anyone who wants to picture themselves in Hollywood Studios tonight!

And I'm VERY glad you did. I have missed Fantasmic the last 2 times I've been so next time it is a MUST!!!

Thanks and I hope you guys had a good day! :goodvibes
 
sorry to here about Drew, glad to hear he is doing better.

great update and pics.

Happy belated birthday Jill.

11 days and I will be at WDW.

She did get a boat. She was quite happy!

That one picture is just of some fireworks.

Oh, I hope Jill gets to see the boats! That is such a fun part of Fantasmic!

Thanks for all the pics!

You're welcome. We get to see Fantasmic again next month!

I never noticed Prince Eric's mullet before.

Oh, yeah; Dawn says it's a requirement for Eric.

Memom, glad Drew is doing better, will keep him in my prayers,

Get Well Soon Drew :)

He's hurting quite a bit this morning. He just got up groaning, and I gave him another pain pill.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JILL. I know you had a magical day. HAppy to hear the Drew is home and will be okay. A hearing loss is better then brain damage. Anywho great TR again. I enjoy reading them.

He already had a slight hearing loss in both ears, too. When he was a baby, he had ear infections constantly. At fourteen months to the day, he began walking. I think a lot of that lateness had to do with his equilibrium being off all the time with the ears. He had tubes put in both ears, which eased the ear troubles, but a little damage had already taken place. With this new injury, though, it's going to be more than slight. He says he can hear very little in his right ear. I told him he's going to have to really train himself to listen carefully when people are talking to him so that he doesn't miss something. I said a couple of things to him in passing yesterday, and as I walked on past, I heard him ask his friends what I had said.

Glad to hear Drew is doing better and I thought your ER observations were hillarious.

When I saw the picture, for some reason I thought of this song. It is from a great Canadian band called Great Big Sea and the song is called the Mermaid (a traditional Newfoundland song). Have a listen to the sample and you will hear why.

I like to watch people. They certainly can be interesting and often entertaining.

I'll check out the song.

I hope Jill gets the boat tonight! :goodvibes

She did!

Awesome Fantasmic pictures! Those are great! Were you really close or do you have a great zoom? Or both? ;) We were at the very back the one time we saw Fantasmic so the characters looked like ants! :laughing:

Sounds like Jill is having a nice birthday!

We were mid-center, about 10-12 rows back. I was very pleased with the zoom on the camera. I used it a lot!

I was thinking the same thing!!!

He needs a haircut!

Main Street does have a barber shop! :)

I did a walk for ALS yesterday with my boyfriend and his family, and then went out for a friend's birthday, and worked today and caught up on the homework that I've been putting off :rolleyes: so I just read now about Drew. I am so sorry that happened, but I was SO glad to read that he's fine and doing as well as he can be doing after such a thing. I will keep him in my prayers. :hug:

Good for you walking for ALS. It sounds like you've had a very busy weekend.

The lady in the wheelchair was one of the crankiest people I have seen in a while. I couldn't really see a reason for it, either, since she didn't seem like she was in any pain. She was looking around at people, trying to make eye contact, as she was complaining and talking very loudly, like she just wanted attention.

Yes, Jill was there tonight. That was her choice for her birthday - riding Toy Story Midway Mania, eating at Pizza Planet, and watching Fantasmic.

:rotfl: Pocannonas!!:rotfl: :rotfl: I love little kid talk!

She called me from Fantasmic and said "My watchin' Fam-taz-mitch!"

Memom. Your Fantasmic pictures are awesome!!! I see things in your pictures I never noticed when I was there. I've never sat that close nor have I gotten pictures that clear. Thanks for sharing.

I'm so glad Drew is doing better and I'll continue to pray for him and for his hearing. Remember our God is the Great Physician.

Zooming in with this camera let me see a lot of details up on the mountain that I hadn't really seen too well before.

Drew is definitely better off than we had originally thought, but he is hurting this morning. He's trying to go back to sleep right now, but it hurts when he rolls over in bed.

:lmao: this just cracks me up! the first time we saw "voyage of the little mermaid" and eric appeared, my DH (who was a disney newbie at the time) said, "who is that?" i whispered, "that's prince eric." and he responded by sitting there a second and then said, "man....he's got a rockin mullet." :rotfl2: now he refers to him as prince mullet instead of prince eric.

Has Ray ever had a mullet? If so, feel free to share his picture. Don't tell him you're doing it, though. You would get in big trouble!


Hmmmmm.....that's a good question. But even if I had said it was for 'his' birthday he prob wouldn't have let me go back one month later :confused3

It was more fun than I could imagine! :yay:

What an AWESOME PIC!!!


Yeah, I don't think you could get away with taking him to WDW for his birthday.

I know you had fun Saturday! You can see the energy and excitement in your pictures.

That picture did turn out well. I just kept snapping and was lucky to get a couple of good ones.


sorry to here about Drew, glad to hear he is doing better.

great update and pics.

Happy belated birthday Jill.

11 days and I will be at WDW.

Lucky you. I hate that you are just missing Jill by a little bit.

It seems like no time since you postponed your other trip, and now it's time for this one. That wasn't so bad, after all, and you still have your other trip to look forward to!

I hope you all have a good Monday. We thank you for all of your kind thoughts this weekend.

On a side note: The Presidential debate for tomorrow night is coming from Belmont University here in Nashville. Our librarian gets to be one of the guests. That's pretty cool, I think. The city is a very busy place right now as it prepares for this. They've been talking about it all over the news.
 
Those are SUCH wonderful pictures of Fantasmic!!!! I feel like I have seen it better through your pictures than I ever have there!!!

Glad to hear that Drew is recovering--hopefully the majority of the pain will go away soon!

Sounds like Jill had a great birthday!!!!
 
As always another great update, Memom!!! Glad to hear Drew is doing better. Megansmom, I just finished reading your trip report. Loved it. I am looking forward to the time when you can start a new pretrip repeort.
 
first of all I just had the chance to catch up and read all about Drew's accident - SO glad it looks like he is going to be mostly OK. My thoughts are with your family :hug:
I hope Jill had a great birthday - love the update with the Fantasmic pictures! The one of Mickey where you can actually see how hot it was is crazy!
 
JILL UPDATE, as of five minutes ago - They are headed to the pool. The weather is very nice today. Breakfast with the Playhouse Disney gang was a big hit.

Brooklynn's thoughts: "JoJo." (That's all she said when I asked her if she had a good time at breakfast. Jill said she was in a bit of a hurry to get to the pool. Imagine that! :) )
