um....no to the $9 apple...if I am going to spend $9 on one treat then it better be some big piece of chocolate cake or brownie!!
I have never seem a stuffed mr potato head...thats pretty cool. Man I am going to need to bring either a) alot of money when we go bc there are going to be too many cute things to decide from for Caleb as a souviener or b) be like memom and take pictures of everything I like and show him later what he could have had
I'm thinking B will be better on my wallet. But it will be tough. Good thing we are flying and won;t have much room to take back things!
Plan B will leave you money to live on when you return home.
Flying does help me curb my spending - knowing there is only so much space. I need to fly every time.
Thanks for the movie review! I'm glad you enjoyed it. We're a big Animal Planet viewing family so my boys have seen lots of difficult scenes. They do much better with them than I do! I hate to see an animal suffer.
My husband told me that this movie is basically the same footage that was shot for Planet Earth and that Disney bought the rights and did some editing. Is that true? 
Congrats on getting all of the ADRs you wanted!
Loved the pictures from Goofy's. We still didn't make it in there on our last trip.
The way I've understood it is that they knew they were creating a dual release deal. If you've seen the Animal Planet series, you may not think it is as awesome as I did. I thought it was incredible on the big screen, though.
We're happy with our ADR's, and the rest will be a variety of counter service options. We like Sunshine Seasons for the rotisserie chicken and vegetables, and of course we'll go to Toy Story Pizza Planet at least once. We'll have Casey's one night while waiting for Spectro. We'll do Cosmic Ray's or Pinocchio's or both. We're thinking of trying the new Picnic in the Park at Animal Kingdom, too. Since Trent and Jarvis will have a vehicle, there's a slight chance that we'll go off property one evening. We didn't do that this past summer, but we did the one before - for shopping and just getting out into Orlando a little.
MeMom you were up late last night like me. I couldn't sleep. Good time to DIS.
You reminded me of the Donnie & Marie dolls I had as a little girl.
I have no idea why I wanted them, maybe the matching purple and fushia outfits.
Now I have that song in my head.
I have the day off!
Let's see what trouble I can get into....
Just kidding! I think I will wash up my summer clothes and make a Disney trip binder.
Have a Marvelous Monday!
Trent called from work and said he had forgotten to wash the towels for the gym, so I got up and did two loads for him. I figured since I was up, I'd Dis!
I never had Donny and Marie dolls, but I did have a rockin' awesome poster of Donny when he was so cute. I was in love with that boy!
I hope you enjoyed your day off without trouble finding you.
After what I witnessed last week, I would definitely say to do the Fantasmic package. We had it and got there at 7:30 for the 8:30 showing...good thing we had reserved seating becasue it was already at standing room only. idk if its always like that but it was crazy. Then when it was over at around 9, the MASSIVE amount of people lined up to storm in for the 10pm show was ridiculous. I'm sure it has something to do with them cutting down the number of Fantasmic showings. I hope you enjoy the Hollywood and Vine!
That makes me feel so much better about booking. Jill and I debated that one, but finally we just said we'd book it and could always cancel if we change our minds. Better to have it and cancel than not have it and regret it. Your comments definitely make me feel like we did the right thing.
Plus, we've never done Hollywood and Vine for supper, so that'll be something new. That's our big
Four Parks day for my birthday.
I'm trying hard to be more like you MeMom. Less dollars spent on frivilous things equals more dollars to go into the Disney fund! I'm out of town for a work conference and I'm missing my kiddies like crazy. The only positive I can see is a little extra money to send to that Mr. Mickey Mouse.
Great DD pictures. We're going to take a "break" day on our trip and bum around DD before going to eat at Chef Mickey's. I bet the kids will LOVE Goofy's.
I am admittedly a bit frugal here at home, but I can spend without much thought in Disney World.
I hope you get back to your sweeties soon. I hated to be away from my kids when they were little, too.
A break day will be good. You can spend a lot of time in DTD - playing with Legos, romping around in the water jets, maybe hearing some music, and playing with a million toys in Once Upon a Toy and World of Disney. I think the kids will have fun at Goofy's. There are some fun drink cups they can put together in there, and they can create the pretzel rods or marshmallows however they want them.
Awww! Great pictures Jill.
Both girls are adorable. Brooklynn sure has many stuffed friends, doesn't she?! Cute stuff.
She has a whole bunch of furry friends. She likes them to surround her up on that bed!
Uncle D... that's not very nice! Glad to see Bubby made up for it!
Those girls get cuter every day!
Drew is not a baby person. He's just now acknowledging Brooklynn as a real person. He did not volunteer for that picture, but he gave in when I asked him twice.
Did you happen to notice that big bone sticking out of his chest from his wreck? It looks so weird, especially from the side!
I think I read somewhere that 40% of the footage was from Planet Earth. I never saw any of them so it was all new to me! I have had friends that went to see Earth and complained because they felt like it was just recycling what they'd already seen in Planet Earth.
I'm probably not a good judge, because I pretty much like all things Disney, and I liked it a lot, even if some of it has been seen before. I thought it was well worth seeing, and I would go see it again.
Aw Brookie is such a good big sister. You HAVE to videotape her reading to Bella! We have tons of videotape of me reading to my sis when she was a baby. It's so cute to watch me and her interacting. She was so fascinated with me.
I tell Jill to video all the time. She will regret it if she doesn't, I think.
I plan to do some filming this summer. That is, if I remember to get the video camera down there! I was so aggravated at myself for packing it up and then forgetting it in March.
I love the picture of Brooklynn reading to Bella, so cute!
It...
I shouldn't laugh but that reminds me soooo much of my brother -- he's great but he's uncertain around little ones.
Drew would qualify as being a little more than uncertain. He's downright out of his element!
