A WISH for Cold Tea? Ana's aMAWzing Disney Trip! 12/1-12/7 ~Last Entry~ p.127

[chloe770]

Hey Tim!! Just wanted to welcome you guys home!!! Oh and did you see the Red sox beat the Yankees today 2:1!!!! Just had to get that in!

Ummmm, it's still pre season, so does that actually count?
Tim - I got your back with the Yanks!!!

 

[that's nice]

The weather looks gorgeous! The sky is so blue. Have fun at dinner. Can't wait to see if Leisa is right (She probably is. She is a pretty smart lady.)

The weather was great!!!

We'll see if Liesa was right....

Holy cow, those beach pics are gorgeous! Look how blue everything is! Looks like postcards, it's so beautiful.

It was sooooo nice!

Ok, when I first glanced at this sign, I thought it said "Pin your butts" which of course is ridiculous!

LOL Yes, pin your butts is ridiculous!

Juliana looks like she's having a grand time at the beach! It must have been really sunny, she looks all squinty even with sunglasses on.

She had a ball..... she couldda stayed there for a few more hours.

Hope you're having an amazing time at Disney today!!! My guess is that you're eating at Chef Mickey's since you already ate at Raglan Road in December.

hummmmmm.....

I bet you'll eat at 1900 Park Fare for Ana's b-day though!

You think?????

Tim, You're the man!! Posting updates while on vacation!!

Just an update from reading Facebook. Brook wrote on her facebook page that they DID have a meet with Tim and Family!

It is hard posting on the phone... that is why I posted so much on FB.. much easier! Someone should make an app for message boards.

Yes, we had a very fast meet with Brook. I pulled them away from their table during their dinner.

We need to nominate Tim as the new mayor of Main Street, or something along those lines. Maybe make him and Mel Mr. & Mrs. Dis. They are all so cute and so sweet.

Awwwww... thank you! I would love to be the Mayor of Main St!!!!

You suck not telling us if I was right or not.

All the rain is here in Delaware right now so (hopefully) you'll be good to go tonight. Enjoy DHS!

We got wet in the am but we really lucked out.

I think dinner was at...KONA!!! Am I right?? I hope it is NOT raining today!!!

I think Dinner was at Kona, because there was a dis meet there if I'm not mistaken.

You'll have to wait with Liesa to find out!

The beach photos are great... is Bradenton Anna Maria Island? We were thinking of hoping over there or go to Cocoa Beach.... I think there is prettier! Glad you are enjoying your trip!

Anna Maria Island is right next to Bradenton. We went to Holmes Beach which was really nice. Plus they have bathrooms, a restaurant, and a bar. While there were a few spring breakers, it was mostly families. Cortez beach is nice too. There is a beach on Gulf drive that is near an inlet and you can watch the boats pass by.

It is a 2 hour drive from Disney.

I didn't know there was a DIS meet-up; but I DID know Brooke was having dinner at Kona...so it made sense yesterday when I read the updates that they might be heading to Kona.

You guys were thinking hard about this huh?

What I want to know is if there will be a Mel do contest???

Can't wait for more updates !!

No Mel anything contests!

You don't want me to get banned from here do ya????

 

[that's nice]

Sorry I've not welcomed you home. Work was a bit** today and Andy has a possible job opportunity so was busy on the phone/email with him, coaches, etc.

I saw your post about this earlier.. I know you are busy! No worries!!!

I'm glad you are home...we missed you a little.

Just a little? I wasn't totally gone. I posted enough on FB, don't ya think?

Hey Tim!! Just wanted to welcome you guys home!!! Oh and did you see the Red sox beat the Yankees today 2:1!!!! Just had to get that in!

Hey!!

Thanks for rubbing that in my face! You guys sure know how to roll out the red carpet!

(yes, I saw.)

Ummmm, it's still pre season, so does that actually count?
Tim - I got your back with the Yanks!!!

Thanks!!!! I appreciate that! It is a long season!

 

[that's nice]

Finally caught up! First off Happy Birthday Juliana!

Second, I love the sea world photos! I have never been to Sea World, I may plan a non-disney trip to Orlando and do Universal and Sea World sometime. I really need to stop these 4 day quick trips and do a whole week! Maybe in 2013 lol. I want to go to the Olympics next year and that will take all my Disney Money!

We had such a fun day at SW... I would go back there someday.

It is so hard to relax with a quick trip... kinda like our Disney time on this trip. 8 or 9 days with 1 or 2 days of relaxing sounds like a good schedule to me!

Still catching up.....and wow! There is sooooooo much to catch up with you! Congratulations on everything....clean scans, new baby, birthday trip.....and today's the royal birthday? Since everyone is lobbying for the birth date, let me throw august 9 in the mix.....that is my youngest son, marks birthday...he'll be 18 this year....and we will be at disney If Mel would prefer an earlier date....my birthday is July 28

Thank you!!!!!

I'm sure Mel would sign up for that date. Her birthday is July 26th.. That is almost 3 weeks early so I don't see her going that early.

Enjoy the rest of your trip....it looks like you are off to a great start.....minus the 24/7 news.

If we are backing that due date up to July I hear the 25th is a great date.

LOL.... Mel's is the 26th!!!

UGHH!!!!!!! You can't tease us like that!

Yes I can!

so happy to hear the magic was flying around for you all!
if they are happy tears, that good, please share....you know you'll have to after posting that!

You know I will do a report.

have fun in Epcot, the weather sounds perfect, hope its still like that when we are there in 2 1/2 weeks!!!

We didn't want to leave... it was so nice. The nights were a little cool but the days were perfect!

He snuck this trip in too quick for Marv & I to hijack it !!!

See, I'm not as dumb as I look!!!!

we could just fill it up with lots of random stuff, so he has lots of pages to catch up on

I thought you had my back?

I think you are just looking for an excuse to do a trip report! lol.

I was.. but this is a great excuse!

Anyway I am much more behind than I thought I was! Congrats on the baby! That is so exciting!

Thank you!

I remember when my mom and dad brought my sister home I told them to take her back, I was only 3....but when they took my brother home I was beyond excited, I was 6.5. My sister moved to California and now I wish he would go away too lol.

Great story!

Well, since I read your Facebook account, I KNOW what that magical thing is and you MUST do a TR now for sure.

OK.


(you twisted my arm!)

 

[that's nice]

Oh man! Do I really have to wait for your TR to find out what this means? Ugh, you're a meanie!

See, I already have your attention and I didn't even start yet!

Yay, Juliana had a magical b-day! I'm sure it was awesome to be there for her special day. Heck, I'd love to have my birthday at Disney too but November is too far away. I'm sure you took lots of pics!

It was magical! I want to celebrate my November birthday in Disney too! 11/16!

Oh, this sounds really special!

It was... and you already know!

Have a safe trip home. I will be waiting for the new TR.

I should write down some points from this trip so I don't forget them.

Well, knowing how slow moving Tim can be, if you can't wait for the TR and the day it happened, then send me a PM and I'll fill you in.

HEY!

Then you ought to join us on Facebook. And no it is not cheating because you could wait two months before Tim gets to that in his TR.

Hey again!!!!!!!!

I guess I don't have the right FB friends.

Tim - You could just skip to the goodstuff just saying...

LOL I'm sure you can find me on FB...

I can't skip to it... that's like reading the Cliff Notes.

Have a safe trip back. CT is still right where you left it...gray with about 90% less snow cover!

We still have snow in our yard... much less though.

Sooo, what did ya buy yourself?? A princess crown, a wand, another whip?? Come on, spill the beans!

first you want me to skip to the end AND tell you what I bought? You are getting a little too pushy!

Maybe a Disney cruise is in your future? It might be a little easier/relaxing with a infant. He can go to the nursery a couple of times. Juliana can hit the kids clubs, and you all can have a nice vacation without going full force like at WDW.

You have it all figured out! Sounds DREAMy!

 

[that's nice]

Welcome Home Tim!!!!

Welcome Home

Thank you!!!!

Glad you had a nice time (eating at Raglan Road or CMs your first day....).

You still going with this huh?

Welcome home!
Boo hiss to that idea. You'll have to bring your little prince when he arrives!

I wouldn't mind taking him at 1 year... maybe I can take Juliana to Disney while her mother stays home.

I feel your sadness. We are waiting until Meadow is 3 before we go back, which means another 20 months. I've already told my husband we are celebrating her 3rd birthday at Disney. Hopefully the rest of the family goes for it.

I can't even think about waiting that long. I will get depressed....

I guess I can start saving for the Poly.

I agree, White Plains can be uber busy whether you're flying out or in...and it's such a small airport so it makes it more frustrating waiting for luggage upon arrival.

You got that right... One time they couldn't find our luggage... it came in on an earlier flight.

Hehehe, no meltdowns that I could see! Without giving away anything you did, I saw you and Juliana very briefly while walking by in line for an attraction...we were in a different line so I couldn't exactly hop over the bars without looking, well, weird... I said, "Oh my gosh, there are Juliana and Tim!" to Frankie and he had no clue whom or what I was talking about so I filled him in. I didn't notice anyone else, but we were walking pretty quickly. The second time, I saw you and your family and friends all together having a meal so I didn't want to interrupt. It would have been great to meet you though! Next time! I love all of your TR's and Juliana is an adorable princess . Glad to hear you are home safely, and congrats on the baby boy arriving in a few months Can't wait for your TR for this trip!

So I'm thinking the TT line and in the Land?

You could of stopped and said hi while we were eating!! I understand why you didn't though.

Welcome home - glad to hear you arrived safely

Looking forward to the next TR!!

Thanks Heather!!!!

 

[mommy2mrb]

I do have your back !!!! just trying to fill our time waiting for you all to get back

Tim, Mel, and Juliana are easy to spot out in a crowd. Especially Tim, he kinda does tower over some of the people. LOL. He made me feel short when I got to meet him.

And yes Tim, I have to agree with Judy, I do think you have reached celebrity status. I know a great security guard if you need one.

One more thing, I think you should start your TR with your 'special moment' - not because I don't want to wait the 2 months for you to post it (just teasing) but because its so magical. And thats why we all go to Disney, is for the magic.

Ugh I can only imagine how frustrating that was! I don't mind flying out of White Plains (although I wish they were better about posting farther in advance which flights are which gates) but waiting for luggage upon arrival can take forever!

Yes, exactly, the TT line and in the Land! We were in the Single Rider line, or lack thereof, as we literally walked right through until the "mini-line" near the loading area. But somehow I noticed Juliana's dress out of the corner of my eye (I really want to say it was the custom Cinderella one but I'm not 100% positive...we were practically speedwalking through the line but I know for sure I saw pink and/or blue!), remembered you were all here, then noticed who was holding her! I was looking for you while our car came back towards the loading area but didn't see you.

Trust me, I definitely thought about stopping by while you were eating, but I didn't want to be rude, so I would have only done it if you already leaving the table or something. As I said before, next time for sure I grew up in NY but went to school (K-12) in CT so it's always nice to meet fellow northerners in Orlando

 

[petals]

I wouldn't mind taking him at 1 year... maybe I can take Juliana to Disney while her mother stays home.

That's another plan lol! You should come in oh I dunno end of November/start of December..

 

[Jupiter&Wolfe]

Hey there, Tim! Stumbled across your Trip Report and when I started reading I couldn't stop! Just got all caught up... your daughter is beautiful! I just wanted to commend your heroic family for taking the lemons life gives you and making lemonade! I can't even imagine what Julianna's journey has been like, but you and your wife always seem to be all smiles throughout! I can't wait to hear how this TR wraps up, and i hope to hear about your most recent trip as well! And CONGRATS on the new baby!

 

[carissanboys]

Welcome home, Tim! I enjoyed following along on Facebook.

Congratulations on the pregnancy!

Seems to me I recall someone saying he was going to post his UPDATE on the DECEMBER trip on the airplane ride home this past weekend.

Suuuuuuuuuuurrrrreeeeeeeee.........

Tim, Mel, and Juliana are easy to spot out in a crowd. Especially Tim, he kinda does tower over some of the people. LOL. He made me feel short when I got to meet him.

Well, I'm not THAT tall. About 6'1''

And yes Tim, I have to agree with Judy, I do think you have reached celebrity status. I know a great security guard if you need one.

LOL... can't wait to hear how YOU made out.

One more thing, I think you should start your TR with your 'special moment' - not because I don't want to wait the 2 months for you to post it (just teasing) but because its so magical. And thats why we all go to Disney, is for the magic.

That is not a horrible idea.... maybe I'll save the second part of the magic for later on in the TR.

Ugh I can only imagine how frustrating that was! I don't mind flying out of White Plains (although I wish they were better about posting farther in advance which flights are which gates) but waiting for luggage upon arrival can take forever!

I dropped Mel off at Newburg before and she loved that airport! It is about the same distance from here as White Plains. Now Jetblue flies from Hartford too so we are getting more options.

Yes, exactly, the TT line and in the Land! We were in the Single Rider line, or lack thereof, as we literally walked right through until the "mini-line" near the loading area. But somehow I noticed Juliana's dress out of the corner of my eye (I really want to say it was the custom Cinderella one but I'm not 100% positive...we were practically speedwalking through the line but I know for sure I saw pink and/or blue!), remembered you were all here, then noticed who was holding her! I was looking for you while our car came back towards the loading area but didn't see you.

Juliana was wearing her Cindy & stepsisters dress. I was trying to keep her occupied in the line.

Trust me, I definitely thought about stopping by while you were eating, but I didn't want to be rude, so I would have only done it if you already leaving the table or something. As I said before, next time for sure I grew up in NY but went to school (K-12) in CT so it's always nice to meet fellow northerners in Orlando

No problem. I have no idea when we will be back in Florida....

That's another plan lol! You should come in oh I dunno end of November/start of December..

LOL I'm not sure how well that would go over with the wifey.

Thanks for posting!

We consider ourselves very lucky and are thankful that Juliana has been doing as well as she has. Melody & I would of given anything to change places with her but you know we couldn't do that, so we did everything in our power to get her better. She is a very energetic girl and has no side effects (that we know of) from the chemo.

Thank you for the well wishes!

Welcome home, Tim! I enjoyed following along on Facebook.

I would of posted more pics but the internet was swamped down there and I couldn't get some pics to upload.

Congratulations on the pregnancy!

Thank you! I've been feeling pretty well!

Seems to me I recall someone saying he was going to post his UPDATE on the DECEMBER trip on the airplane ride home this past weekend.

That didn't happen. I was exhausted!

I do remember something about this too

Glad you guys have good memories!

me too....break out the everyone.....
