All I Want For Christmas Is an Okapi, a Dinosaur, a Herd of Elephants and ...

I was glad to see that you are "shopping" again! Since I haven't stayed a PoP, I had only one real guess for those pics. I figured the first one was some kind of vehicle, so I can't wait to play guessing games around the World!

Umm was Trents Facebook hacked tonight?

 

[MeMom]

Sigh, I miss POP. I love all your pictures of the Jukebox building. That is the building we were in but we were on the 3rd floor.

We've been in the Jukebox building twice. Once on the ground floor right at the pool and once on the second floor with a 'woods view'.

Have you ever visited Pop? It's kind of a fun place to walk around for a few minutes - lots of fun things to take pictures of.


**************************************

Good morning, Pop!

Good morning, my most precious girls!

Hollywood Studios was having EMH, so you know we were all over that.

Hidden Bo?

We had to have our key cards to get in.

This card has expired. No entrance for Mr. Mouse today.

Bella has officially warmed up to the characters, and as you can see, Minnie is one of her most beloved.

The girls and Piggle-let.

Stage in front of hat in front of Chinese theater.

To Pixar Place.

Brooklynn had her picture made with Army Man,

but Bella wasn't in for this one.

Christmasy Pixar Place.

We're always stopping for Jill to take pictures.

 

[MeMom]

Let's ride Toy Story Midway Mania!

I was just random clicking as we darted through. Since I wasn't alone, I had to keep up with the rest of the group.

Look, there's Ed!

My riding buddies.

Games.

Brooklynn won!

 

[declansdad]

What time did you get to the park?

 

[MagicShell]

Your good morning is my night! I don't think I have ever seen Pixar Place so empty.

 

[marDgreen88]

Wow! I knew they had EMH late into the night, but I never knew they had them THAT early!

I have to say, I can't blame Bella for not wanting to meet the green army man! He kinda creeps me out too!

 

[vamassey1]

What time was EMH? 7? We hit MK for EMH at 7 during Christmas week once, we watched the sun come up over Space Mountain.

I can't believe how empty the park was! What a wonderful sight.

 

[CreightonsMomma]

Wow! An empty TSM. You don't see that very often.

I'm sure you're always waiting for Jill to take pictures and it's not the other way around!!

Love the pics with Minnie and Piglet. The girls are beautiful!

 

[sunny_stace]

Bella looks mighty wary of that army man! I had one come up behind me by surprise once and it freaked me out too!

 

[punkin413]

Um.....yeah.....I'm just not feelin' the green dude.

 

[disney<333]

What a productive and fun morning. This was the day I was at DHS too and we kept missing each other all day.

 

[oOJulieOo]

Happy weekend!

I was grocery shopping this morning and I saw this:

It made me so happy to see a little piece of what I associate with EPCOT at the grocery store here in Switzerland!

Tomorrow, I am going with a friend and her kids to see Disney on Ice in Geneva. I'm so excited! Two bits of Disney in one weekend. I'll take it!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Well, I knew I would have a lot to catch up on here since I haven't been able to get on for almost a week! But I never expected to find that I had missed baby news!!!

CONGRATULATIONS, Jill!!! (and the rest of the family, of course!) So exciting!

MeMom, I was going to ask if you had been tossing in quarters to the Wilderness Lodge fountain on the sly, but I see you had Brooklyn do it. (If Brooklyn ever complains about this baby -- which I am sure she won't -- you can always tell her it was her doing. LOL!)

Hope you are feeling better.

Love all the shopping pics -- especially those Christmas bracelets -- very cute!

What an empty DHS! Gotta love that! Oh, and I like the Hidden Bo.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Wow, that looks like it was some super-early EMH's! Pixar Place looks deserted!

I don't blame Bella for preferring to hang out with Minnie over the Green Army Men. They're a little creepy, I think!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

I was thinking the same as declansdad What time did you arrive there that morning?
I never saw the parks that empty. Awesome!

We missed going on TSM this trip. By the time we got to the park all the fast passes were gone and the wait times were a crazy 120 minutes.
We like it but not that much.

We took our time getting going this trip and didn't do the EMH mornings like we normally do. Big mistake.
We've decided we aren't going to do that again...
Between the Christmas rush and being sick, I was tired this trip. Had little get up and go.

Poor Bella...she did not want to have a pic with that Army man.

I only got the golf cart one right. I guessed the same answers as Poolrat.

Lexi enjoyed your little guessing game...can't wait to play the park ones.

 

[MeMom]

Umm was Trents Facebook hacked tonight?

No, that was Trent being Trent-like. He was spoofing some of the mundane things people put on FB. I think he's finished being a wierdo now.

What time did you get to the park?

Around 6:30.

Your good morning is my night! I don't think I have ever seen Pixar Place so empty.

We really don't mind getting up early. It works well for us. Jill, Bella, and I have no problem at all with it. John and Brooklynn are the ones that have to put some effort into it, and even though he doesn't like it, John really is glad when we get to do a lot of things in a little time.

Wow! I knew they had EMH late into the night, but I never knew they had them THAT early!

I have to say, I can't blame Bella for not wanting to meet the green army man! He kinda creeps me out too!

If you get in on 7 a.m. EMH, you can have half a park done by mid-morning!

She walked right up to Minnie, but she wasn't going to be doing any marching with that guy!

What time was EMH? 7? We hit MK for EMH at 7 during Christmas week once, we watched the sun come up over Space Mountain.

I can't believe how empty the park was! What a wonderful sight.

Yep, 7 a.m. EMH.

Wow! An empty TSM. You don't see that very often.

I'm sure you're always waiting for Jill to take pictures and it's not the other way around!!

Love the pics with Minnie and Piglet. The girls are beautiful!

That Toy Story area stays hopping all day long, for sure.

I know. I try to be nice and not leave Jill behind too often.

I need to see my girls.

Bella looks mighty wary of that army man! I had one come up behind me by surprise once and it freaked me out too!

Very different looking for a little one, for certain.

Um.....yeah.....I'm just not feelin' the green dude.

Not at all.

What a productive and fun morning. This was the day I was at DHS too and we kept missing each other all day.

I wish we had known your daughter was behind us in the Mickey line.

Happy weekend!

Tomorrow, I am going with a friend and her kids to see Disney on Ice in Geneva. I'm so excited! Two bits of Disney in one weekend. I'll take it!

A little Club Cool fun right at home. The only one of all of the drinks I will take any more is China's watermelon one.

Disney on Ice will be so much fun!

Well, I knew I would have a lot to catch up on here since I haven't been able to get on for almost a week! But I never expected to find that I had missed baby news!!!

CONGRATULATIONS, Jill!!! (and the rest of the family, of course!) So exciting!

We had several wish requests in October, so we threw a good little chunk of change in there on that trip.

Jill had a Christmas scarf that we were going to put around Bo's neck for a picture, but she forgot to bring it.

Wow, that looks like it was some super-early EMH's! Pixar Place looks deserted!

I don't blame Bella for preferring to hang out with Minnie over the Green Army Men. They're a little creepy, I think!

Minnie is much cuter.

Being sick sure didn't help you guys with being able to get a lot of things in on this trip. You will need a well-deserved do over.

I don't recall that we waited in any lines during the whole trip. We went early and used Fastpasses, of course, and John did some single rider things. Jill may remember if we did, but I don't as I am just thinking back.

Glad you enjoyed guessing, Lexi. We'll do it again soon.

 

[<3myfamily]

Another reason we will never make morning EMH's....our bodies are always still on Pacific Time... so 6:30 really seems like 3:30 to us! By the time we get on Eastern Time, it is time to leave. It is much easier to do the night EMH's.

Loved the pics of the girls snuggled up next to Minnie & Piglet. And I'm with Bella, I'm not fond of the green army men!

Hope you have finally kicked the cold! My DD is sniffling, so I know that soon I'll be sniffling and sneezing next.

I am forcing myself to go to Disneyland on Tuesday with my DD. She has a project she has to do for art class, and she choose to do it on Disney... darn, I'll just have to make myself enjoy it! The things we do in life to please our children.

Comments:

So, you're okay with a new grandbaby named Mingo???

Jill must be exhausting since you have to stop for her to take pictures.

Nightquill and Disney dreams--I might stock the cabinet.

Seriously, glad you are feeling better! We've almost made it through January.
