This one is the one I got! Isn't he adorable?!
Since we went on our first trip in 2006, I collect a Disney Christmas ornament each year that is dated. Unfortunately I waited a little too long this year and failed at finding one online. It was so neat to talk to her on the phone. She has the cutest southern accent.
It felt really great being there with her in Magic Kingdom that day. Thank you, thank you so much again MeMom.
It is cute. Why didn't I get myself one?
I like getting pictures from/talking to people when they are in Disney World, because you do feel like you are there in some small way.
Hi there! I think this is my first check in on this TR. I know I have spent one other day reading along, but haven't made time to comment. We've been busy here although I am not really sure what we've been up to, other than parenting three kids. Both boys are having difficult school years for entirely different reasons so that has taken up a bunch of time.
It looks like another great start to a trip! I loved seeing all of the photos Brooklynn took along the way and Bella's little top knot that morning at Disney. Aileen still does not like anything in her hair. Stinker! It seems like you guys did a great job of managing the crowds over the big holiday season.
And Jill!!!! Congrats on #3!! I have to say, #3 really made me feel like we were a family. The boys got so much pleasure out of my pregnancy and out of being old enough to really help with a new baby. Aileen is really the frosting to our family -- and three kids is an awesome number to have as I am sure Memom would agree!
Are you guys going to find out the sex of the baby ahead of time?
Sorry the boys are having a tough time with school. I wish school could always be a nice mix of fun and education without struggles and drama.
We do have a strategy for avoiding crowds, and mostly it means there is no sleeping in and lolly-gagging around the resort in the mornings. Rope drop is the way to go to avoid the crowds, and nap times later make up needed sleep time.
Jill will find out on her April visit what the baby is. She would really like it to be another girl so that she can use the clothes and so in a couple of years, Brooklynn can have her own room and Bella and Baby Three can share. She is used to girls, and we love our girl trips, so a girl will do just fine.
Of course, we will adore a little monster boy, too, so whatever comes our way will be a blessing.
Never once has Earl disappointed.
It's funny that as I'm catching up on this Memom says she's got Mexican on her mind because I do too. My boyfriend made enchiladas last night! And I think he's bringing home burritos for dinner tonight. Next time it's my turn to cook, I want to make fajitas!
Depending on the price, I'd purchase quite a few of those charm club bracelets. Well any of those bracelets.
Glad you guys made it through the horrible storm okay.
Cute Christmas ornaments. One day I'm gonna have to start collecting them and make sure they don't get left behind.
That enchilada casserole was pretty good, I must say. I ate that and a salad for three days straight.
Your dad heard about our storms here, because he texted to see if we were in the midst of it. The next day was beautiful, so I messaged him that the day was beautiful, but I was ready to see a palm tree mixed in with that sunshine. That's when he told me about the FP rules.
You must have more energy than me!
That island is the most exhausting place I can think to go!
Well, we planned to go to TSI, since we have not been since Brooklynn was little. In nine Disney days, we never did get over there. Maybe this summer? There's too much to do to get in all in!!!
WHAT !!!!! Oh we need to correct that.
I think I am on 12/30
Jill is going to load the 28th this weekend, and I am going to try to really stay on top of things. I'd like to finish this report and put some of the October trip pictures up, too, before we go in June.
Yes, we do!!!! LOL!!! Maybe I will on my Spring Break trip!
I gotta catch up on your report too!! Do you have a pic of the meet? I would like a copy, if you do. I didn't get one with my camera.
Spring break trip.
Spring break trip.
Just throw it in my face, why don'tcha???
Will you pretty please put some pictures on here or FB?
Catching up!
One of the best memories I have at Disney World is on that ride when the camel spit right in Anna's face and Luke thought that was the funniest thing and giggled the entire ride. He was 3 then and he's 7 now...so long ago but seems like yesterday. Remember this?

I enjoyed your pics from high above Agrabah. Everyone does that on Dumbo but you don't see pics of this area that often.
One thing Ray and I have always agreed on is that they should turn that into a Wall-E themed attraction. It is Future World and Wall-E is about our future. Makes so much sense to me. They could make it cute AND educational.
I've always said if I could pick a character to play it would be one of the stepsisters because they are just so much fun or Maleficent because she's the coolest villian EVER! But I think I'd be better at playing one of the steps. I don't know that I'm cool enough to be Maleficent. (By the way, I quoted the picture too but something happened with the link and it wouldn't show?)
Why not???
That actually made me laugh out loud. So cute!
You are so right about WALL-E! I sure didn't think of that one. It would fit perfectly and could be educational and fun. You need to write to the Imagineers and get them on that!
I think my character could be Fairy Godmother. It's okay to be pleasingly plump, and I could make dreams come true all day every day.
Yup
I just finished packing! I just need to take a shower and get to bed!
I'm shutting off my laptop for the night after I check in on my report. I'll text you tomorrow! You'll definitely be getting some pictures
I will look forward to your pictures and texts!
Safe travels for you and Mom!
Is it me or does Bella look just like Tinkerbell?
Jill and I have said many times that Bella can be Tinkerbell one of the days. College Program about 2028, maybe?

More Flower and Garden fun for today.

She definitely deserves this vacation! I woke up this morning and caught her checking her work email 
But she has now put the laptop away and it's not coming out until next Friday 
Josh, Jeremy, and my uncle know we'll be away so they'll visit her more often than usual. Oh! In my pre-trip excitement, I completely forgot to mention this; Caleb turned 3 on Tuesday 
The boys will both be getting birthday presents from WDW! Kazin's will be a few weeks late, but I don't think he'll mind too much 
Since we went on our first trip in 2006, I collect a Disney Christmas ornament each year that is dated. Unfortunately I waited a little too long this year and failed at finding one online. Who did I turn to? Well, MeMom of course. One of the sweetest, most thoughtful Dis'ers I know. It was so neat to talk to her on the phone. She has the cutest southern accent.
