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

Marc and I were a bit worried about Trent last night as well......:laughing:
We discussed his FB posts on our way to Disney live.
I figured he was being his silly self.

Oh those baby names.
I hope Jill won't pick one that reminds you of a student that made you nuts like Keeley is getting ready to do to me!

I'm loving the idea of Mingo!
 
Wow! I have never seen Pixar Place that empty. Must remember 7 am EMH if available. Bella is so cute with her wary look. I just loved how she would keep trading toys out with me at the JC meet. She was adorable.
 
Anita is Keeley pregnant? Missed that. Congrats!

Yes, Hunter is going to be getting a little brother in June. Keeping my fingers crossed that he comes on time. She is due on the 7th and we are supposed to be on our cruise on the 15th!:eek:
 

What a great way to start your day at DHS! The picture of Bella being wary is just too cute.

By the way, I think Erin is an excellent name for a girl! :thumbsup2
 
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.

I sat all the way through church this morning, although I had my doubts that that would happen. I got water in between class and service, and I sucked on cough drops and managed with just little coughs throughout. :woohoo:

I can take Tuesday off and do that Disneyland project with your girl, if you're really struggling with having to go. ;) What does she have to do?

One of my teacher friends at school goes to WDW with her family about every three years. They love to go out in the evening and stay through those late EMH hours and then sleep late the next day. If I didn't have my walking issues, I could handle doing early and late EMH, since I don't sleep much anyway, but I have learned that I really have to give it up or I am not able to walk at all after a few days.



Highlights of this update:
B and B with Minne!
Empty TS queue!!!
Online window shopping (I bought the Christmas Lanyard)
Hidden Memom!

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.

I will have to ask Bella what she would like to name a baby. There is no telling what she might come up with. Brooklynn would no doubt choose Rainbow Sparkly Glitter Baby.

It is a cool and windy day here, but it is sunny finally after several days of rain. January has indeed been pretty good here. :thumbsup2

What name did she pick? There were a few years in a row where every Cody we had in school was a little stinker. This year, it would be Aidan. Cute as he can be and smart as a whip, but boy, can he get into some stuff in a quick heartbeat! :laughing: I say his name many times a day. :upsidedow

If you are a Toy Story fan, you can ride it 2-3 times in a row without a wait.

Both girls were fascinated with your light-up toys. They always want all the ones in the stores at WDW.

DIStown grows and grows and grows. :dance3:

We're hoping Jill is on time or early, since we have an October 5th trip planned. ::yes::

I always like it when it is easy to get to TSMM, because it is one of Jill's favorite rides. She and John like to battle it out, so I take the girls and just take pictures. It works out well.

I hope we get to cross paths with your Erin (and her family) again on another trip. :goodvibes



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

In trip planning news, we are officially booked for the summer. :cool1: Church camp ends the night of June 22nd, and we will be out on the early morning flight of the 23rd. The plan is for Jill, John, and Bella to stay until July 1st, and Brooklynn and I will stay on until the 5th. Our annual passes expire the 2nd, so we will do non-park things after that. We'll fill the 3rd, 4th, and part of the 5th before we are taken away with plenty of Disney fun without park tickets. I will enjoy having her to myself and doing a little make-up time from the October trip that didn't go as well as I would have liked it to. ;)

Continuing our Hollywood Studios time.

There were as many cast members as there were guests.

It was decided that we would head to Tower of Terror.

IMG_6333.jpg


Could you see it in that picture?

IMG_6335.jpg


IMG_6336.jpg


Jill was going to wait around here with Bella while John went to Rock n Roller Coaster and Brooklynn and I went to Tower of Terror. This would be the first time for me to ride with her, as I had been the one to sit out with Bella on her first ToT time.

First, a Photopass picture.

IMG_6337.jpg


Notice the uncooperative small child at the top. I went around behind the photographer and did silly things to try to get her to look.
 
Brooklynn agreed to ride with me after Jill promised to pay her one dollar for it. :laughing:

This is Brooklynn practicing her scared face.

IMG_6343.jpg


I'm not convinced. ;)

She actually likes the ride itself, but she doesn't care for the ghosts.
I didn't catch them in this attempt.

One hand holding Brooklynn and the other holding the camera.

Back down the streets.

This sign reminded us of food, and you know where that takes us when we are in Hollywood.

A sort of demolished cinnamon roll.

As many times as I have taken a picture of Brown Derby, I have not yet eaten there.

I still can't get over how empty everything was for you guys!!! That's too funny that Brooklynn agreed to ride with you for $1 :laughing:.

Yummm Starring Rolls :cloud9:.
 
I had to come over and celebrate!:banana:

I just booked Pop Century for May 29-June 2. We are going to Universal June 2-8 but I couldn't get Mickey off my mind. My niece and nephew are going with us again this trip but they can't come down until the 2nd. DH and my Mom can't come down until that day also, so I am taking my boys early. I am planning on surprising them the morning we leave. The only pesky little thing is money. The hotel is not an issue but tickets for 5 days might be. So, right now, I am planning on doing non theme park stuff. We might go play mini golf, Disney Quest or resort hop. It doesn't matter to me. As long as I am on Disney property, I am happy. We usually stay offsite so I am super excited to stay at POP.:cool1:
 
:lmao: at bribing Brooklynn to ride TOT. I don't really care for TOT, but I'll ride it. I hate the falling feeling, it really freaks me out.

I'm loving the empty park pictures.
 
YAY for the new trip! Very exciting. :thumbsup2
Seeing Pixar Place that empty is the stuff dreams are made of. :laughing:
Wow, that fog really adds to the 'spooky' effect for Tower of Terror!
 
I only get to morning EMH depending on who I travel with. It's not often sadly, but I do see the benefit of it for sure. There was barely anyone there for you guys!
 
I would love to be in the park to take ToT pictures in the fog. You could get some really cool shots.

I still can't get over how empty the park was that morning.
 
Brooklynn agreed to ride with me after Jill promised to pay her one dollar for it. :laughing:

Wow, Inflation is hitting everyone, especially Jill. Brooklynn's bribe price sure has increaed.:laughing:

Something about those PP pictures look familiar. ;)
 
Brooklyn is so brave! Wish I had the nerve to ride all that stuff. And you riding with no hands! :eek:

So what do you guys like to order at Staring Rolls. We ate there for the first time last year and I'd love to know what you like there.
 
Love love love the picture of Tower of Terror in the spooky-ish fog!

I wish someone would pay me to ride ToT....I'd make a killin'! :rotfl2: Glad you got to ride it with Brooklynn.
 
What was in the Mickey mugs?

I was wondering the same thing. :confused3


It was ice cream.
Lexi got one and loved the souvenir mug.
Now it sits beside the Donald one from the Halloween Party in the cabinet. :)

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

Glad your all booked now! How exciting that you will get some special time with Brooklynn.

You couldn't offer me enough money to go on ToT...Brooklynn is a brave girl.

Mmmm...... those morning treats look very tasty!
