Thank you for the Happy Baby Due Date wishes everyone!
MeMom, our friends always go to Teppan Edo - they love it - its a HUGE hit with them. We went to a similar restaurant in London for my hubby's 30th in March and the husband (who is a total Disney NUT!) kept comparing it to Teppan Edo. Oh they do that at Disney. Oh we didn't get that at Disney Oh but we got that at Disney!
You get the picture!!!
Can't wait to hear what you end up with!
We are looking forward to it. It'll be a fun way to start out the evening that the guys will be joining us.
I hope the next time you talk to us, there will be exciting baby news!
Good job, Jill-o!
Yep, I am the exact same way. Didn't read Marley and Me, and I won't see the movie! Nope, nope, nope! I have a hard time getting through The Lion King, and that's a cartoon!
Ahhh, I really, really, really hope Connor grows up to be like Trent -- he is very affectionate so I hope that doesn't change.
about Drew's way to show his affection.
Oh, I know the kids can handle it -- they would love the film -- I just don't know about me. It makes me so sad to even think about the polar bear daddy trying to feed his family and dying in the process -- knowing it really happened makes it worse.
Hurray!!!
Those are great ADRs! Doesn't it seem more real now that those are in place! I was in such a good mood after we made ours!
The movie talked a lot about global warming and what it was doing to the polar bears. It makes me want to support the effort to help them more than ever.
It was pretty exciting to talk about our plans this morning!
Yaaaaa, it is so nerve-wracking to wait till 90 days out for your adr's. You hope and hope you can get what you need so as to remain on your schedule! 
Whaaa hooooo! I would continue calling if you don't like your 5 pm slot for H and V. They wait till they fill all of the earlier spots and sometimes they add some later ones. But 5 pm sounds good though~
So on Monday, its only 35 more days of school (not including weekends!). I had a wonderful year though...I am actually going to miss all of them!
We'll probably get a Fastpass for something, go and eat, go use the Fastpasses, and then head to Fantasmic.
We have about four weeks left, I think. I never seem to pay attention to when the last day of school is, but I know it is getting close.
Great news about your ADRs! It is almost time for ours. We had dinner last night with our newbie friends to decide on the restaurants. In the end, it was "Whatever you decide, we're fine with it. You're the experts!"
No pressure, no pressure at all.
So, what have you picked? You can't leave us hanging!
Does Declan get to pick one or two?
Congratulations on the ADR's. Now you can rest a little easier about that and start worrying about something else. At least that is what I do. Sounds like a great plan to do 4 parks in one day. I might have to convince DH to try it after I hear how your experience turns out.
Just the money. That's all I ever worry about. As long as we have a room, I'm good. Doesn't have to be fancy. Even if I didn't get one ADR I wanted, it wouldn't matter, because we'd still eat. I just worry about paying for it all.
I'll give you some details a little later about the
Four Parks in One Day plans.
great job on the ADRs!! Now time will really fly by for you guys!
The next few weeks will with school.
Then there's summer school, Vacation Bible School, and church camp.
The next morning after church camp, we'll be on a plane!
It always seems to go really fast to me when we hit thirty days, too.
Congratulations on the ADR's! Good luck with doing all 4 parks in one day! My cousin is on his way home from FLA today and they did Disney on Monday. Originally they were only supposed to do MK, but when they got there they decided to upgrade to PH's and ended up doing all 4 in one day....they haven't been in about 5 years so they really killed themselves doing it!
I'll tell you our plans. It's probably not as exciting as what your cousins did. We're kind of just doing one or two things at each park and being very relaxed about it. It would be a challenge to get a certain amount of rides in throughout the day, but I'm too old for all that racing around!
Yay for getting the adrs you wanted and for being only 90 days away from your vacation.
Yep, it is exciting to be doing a 90 day dance!
Although my church background has always suggested that dancing was sinful, so dancing on Sunday must be really, really bad! 
Cool! I may have to check that out. I live in the boonies (that's the country for you city folks out there ), so there probably isn't another soul out there near me!
We know the boonies!!!
Half the people we know live out in the boonies!
Jill and John even live in the boonies in Alabama. They pass a field of white horses just before you turn on their street.
Your plans sound yummy. We have only tried CP out of the ones you mentioned. I would love to try the others on your list next time! I wish I could go as often as you do!! What is your secret for saving up for trips???? We want to go back so bad but I can't seem to get the Disney coffer filled up!
Not spending money at home. We turn lights out, keep heat down, and I eat PBJ for lunch about 4 out of 5 days a week. I don't buy clothes (except those capris that put Jill into labor!
) or jewelry. I don't spend money on movies, eating out, smoking, drinking, or anything else, so Disney is my fun thing and my vice!
Your ADRs look and sound tasty!!
I think they will all be delicious!
Trent sounds like such a sweet son. I hope my little guys grow up to be just like him. I don't ever want to give up these little kisses and hugs I still get.
Score on the ADRs! Crystal Palace is a favorite of ours too so it's going back on the "doing it again" list. Teppan Edo is also excellent so back on the list with it too. You will love the chef interaction!
We thought about doing 'Ohana for dinner on the first night, but there would be no characters with that. It was fun to start out last year with a character meal for Brooklynn, and since it'll be Bella's first Disney dining experience, it should be a character meal, I think. Bella won't care about what's on the menu, but it'll be cute to get pictures with Winnie-the-Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and ..... who is that other guy that's there? Seems like I should know....
******************************
More pictures from Downtown Disney on our first evening.
We always have to stop at Goofy's.
Instead of torturing myself with pictures of sweets, I took pictures of decorative stuff.
Did you know there was such a thing as a
nine dollar apple???
Over at Pooh's place:
Cute light fixture for
Lady Lallie.
Tigger in a predicament.
One of Brooklynn's favorite places.
She can spend a lot of time putting some crazy looking potato people together.
Since Bella's middle name is Marie, I feel compelled to take a picture of this Marie when I see her.
I didn't really have a particular reason for taking a picture of these guys, other than I thought they were cute.
And I do like potatoes.
I like them baked, mashed, fried...
I call them potatoes, too, in case you were wondering.
Not taters.
I am a refined Tennessee girl.
When the kids were little, they called them
ba-tatoes.
Next up: Basin and a little more shopping before we called it a night. 
It's a local Mom's "club" type thing. There's actually a network (The Mommies Network) and they have online communities all over the country. They have playdates, Mom's Night Out and other activities for local Moms to meet other Moms. They also have forums. It's like the DIS...only for Mommies! LOL
