A Trail of Tears from Louisiana to WDW & Back Again! New PTR Link 8/15

[Nermel9]

Awwww, I love the Cinderella and Shelby story, so cute! I don't know what it is, but all every time I see a "Cinderella" from WDW, she is always so beautiful!

Ariel, on the other hand...not so much! They have to do something with her hair, it looks insane...and can they TRY to get someone who looks sort of like her?

 

[miprender]

Awe....that is too precious about Cinderella

As for Ariel..we had a real scary looking one at CRT. I didn't notice it until people starting pointing it out in my pictures and Ariel is DD7 favorite princess. Poor DD started getting mad when someone would say something.

PS I meant to ask if you made the dress that Shelby wore on the 1st day? I loved it with all the little Mickey heads.

Joni, I was several updates behind. I have been so very bad at keeping up with the Dis lately.

I am so very sorry that your first day at the Magic Kingdom was less than magical. I think that, sometimes, we get caught up in making sure we see and do everything that we get all stressed out and forget to enjoy each other.

I'm glad to see that Day 2 was better. And, yes, the Cinderella story and pictures made me get all teary eyed.

 

[TinksThree]

That was so sweet! It gave me chills!

Why don't men know that we women know what we are talking about??? (referencing the clippies!!)

I was a bit behind again, but now I'm all caught up and I don't remember half of what I wanted to comment on. I do want to say that your husband must have been really tired and exhausted and I'm so sorry that the words between you have caused you to cry and feel upset. I'm also sorry that he put his ring in the trash - that would have broken my heart. Saying all of that, I know how you feel. I, too, have had many a heated discussion and full blown argument in Disney with my beloved husband and it just makes your heart hurt when you have looked forward the trip for so long and had the highest expectations.

I am so happy that you worked out everything when you got home. Amazing how sometimes the happiest place on Earth can also be the saddest at times.

I love all of the wonderful first memories that you have made with Shelby, showing her the castle for the first time, the wonderful interaction between she and Cinderella, even the fact that she cried on the rides! All of these are the sweetest things to remember and it makes me wish I had a little girl!

I love your son's hair! He looks so awesome with first the green and then the different colors. You are an awesome Mom for letting him go back twice. Also, good for him for getting on Splash! He totally rocks!

And are they putting Splash and Space Mtn on the photopass now? That would be so cool if they are. I've always thought that they should.

I love that you ran into Pirate Goofy. I've never seen him before. I've never seen Chip and Dale in their space uniforms, either, so you definitely got some great character interaction. Too bad you didn't get to see Chip and Dale yourself, but the picture turned out great!

Oh and your Mickey Crocs are so cute!

I'm sure there is more, but I think I hit the high points. Great TR! I can't wait to see what else happens!

How sweet that Cinderella wanted to keep Shelby! I liked the picture just seeing it small in your profile, but the bigger photopass shots are just INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I have to agree with everyone else, I have yet to meet a Cinderella who isn't just gorgeous, but sometimes Ariel and even Aurora just look off.

I can't wait to hear about the fairies!!!!

I said that last night, Ariel looked nothing like her!

Thanks! A friend of mine made that dress, the princess dress & the tinkerbell dress!

It gets better from here on out!

One of those things I guess, anyway, I love to prove him wrong!

Nope, the only ones on PP are Test Track. I think they should all be put on the photopass cards.

I forgot to add, that Cinderella asked how many mice it took to make Shelby's dress! I thought that was so cute! I will try to update the fairies tonight!

 

[Believeinfairytales]

If they aren't putting the ride pics on PP, how did you get such cool backgrounds? Are these pictures you took with your own camera and added the background or ones you purchased from the parks? I love the borders!

After we left the Princesses, we headed back in line for the Fairies! 90 minute wait, but it wasn't quite that long. I had changed out Shelby's clippie to a Tinkerbell one so she would match her dress & Tink when she met her! While we were in line Shelby made a new friend!

Before long it was time for us to get shrunken down to fairy size! While waiting, the PP took this pic of Brady.

This pic is now his FB default. Told you I wonder about that child sometimes! And finally! It's our turn!!! 1st one we meet is Rosetta!

Don't you just love the look on her face when she sees Brady's hair! It cracks me up everytime. And what does she tell Brady? "Your hair looks like a hedgehog!" I laughed & told her Alice in Wonderland told him the same exact thing! She looked shocked.

After this, it was time to meet Tink! As she is signing books, she wanted to know who "Mr. Too Cool" was back there hiding behind his dad that didn't want to meet her. I told her that was Koby. She told him that if he was gonna play "fly & seek" he better do a better job that that! Here are some pics before I continue!

Now while we are meeting Tink, Silvermist is chasing Koby to try to get him to get in the pics. He was not having it!

After a few laughs we move on to Silvermist. She asks Brady where he is from & instead of saying Louisiana, he gives her our ENTIRE address! She said that she can come visit now since she knows where we live. Then she said in Louisiana, we have crazy owls. She said normal owls say "Hoooo" She said ours say "Whooo Dat!" We cracked up! Here are the pics from Silvermist.

Now while we are meeting Silvermist, Koby & the PP Photographer are playing camera wars!

And once we were done with Silvermist....THE KISS!!!!!!

Look at Tink's face in the background! Even with another family, she was pointing & laughing & saying "See, you should have came to see me after all!"

He walked out of there with the biggest, goofiest grin on his face. I tried to get a pic of the lipstick on his face, but he wiped it off as soon as Ben told him that there was lipstick, thank god the PP photographer got it. That moment changed everything for Koby, he starts meeting more characters, his entire attitude changes. Ben said, "that PP cd you ordered, just paid for itself today." Koby's FB pic is the one of Silvermist kissing him. And on our way home when we leave Disney, what dvd does Koby put in? Tinkerbell! I guess he wanted to see Silvermist again! And tonight on the Disney channel Tinkerbell plays & he is all excited. He said he can't wait to see Silvermist again at Disney because he wants another kiss!

Next update, the rest of MK and will I EVER see MK at night?

I purchased these from the parks.

 

[Believeinfairytales]

I purchased these from the parks.

Oh, well that makes sense! I agree they should add those pics to the PP. I don't know why they don't.

I L-O-V-E-D your last update! Those pictures of the kiss are too priceless!

The PP cd & those pics were my souvenirs.

It was a great moment. First the princesses & then that with the fairies. It put all of us in a much better mood!

[#1hoosierfan]

great update with the fairies!

 

[Charlefours]

Goodness, what a reaction Shelby had to some of those rides! What great timing to run into Goofy with Ben wearing his new purchase.

I saw on FB about Koby's kiss but I have to say reading the whole story makes it even better! I think someone must have a crush on Silver Mist now.

Yeah, some of them were not good at all, but she survived lol

Yes he sure does have a crush! It was just a great moment!

 

[therussells08]

Awww Koby's first kiss couldn't have been more magical!

And can I just say, that Tink is gorgeous!! She is the perfect Tinkerbell in my opinion!

 

[mermaid764]

Another great update!

Love the photopass pics and the kiss story is priceless

 

[JPFamilyMom]

That sounds like an amazingly fun time. I bet those fairies had a great time with your family. And how great that it had such a positive affect on the rest of your trip
