I don't think you're crazy! Just discovered your TR, and I love it! My husband and I are expecting our first baby and I'm thinking of spending baby's first birthday at the world. She is due Jan 5, so we have time to plan, but I desperately want to lean about travel with infants at WDW. I'm still reading through your first trip and I'm really looking forward to seeing even more!
Haha! Thank you! CONGRATS!! So exciting, she and Aria will be 2 years apart
It is SO much fun traveling with them at that age (and hey maybe you'll decide to travel before her first birthday - seriously at 8m Aria was soooo easy! LOL!). But it's already gotten more "fun" as she has grown up and starts enjoying rides and shows and everything. I've just loved seeing each age!
I love your updates! Again, Aria looks adorable in anything!
AKL is such a beautiful resort. I enjoyed your pictures! And the pool pics are too cute! Looks like she enjoyed the water.
Yay for liking the People Mover! It's one of my favorites.
I'm sorry about how the trip went with your mom. I felt your frustration!
Aww thank you!! I LOVE AKL! DH isn't as big of a fan but the pool was wonderful and it is just so nice. I would just rent a car from now on - ME was very nice but relying on the buses just isn't for me.
Yep people mover is awesome!
Loving all the updates, thanks for sharing! I have been reading along on my phone but have been terrible about commenting, I'm sorry!
I absolutely love all of Aria's outfits, they are adorable. I'm sorry your Mom wasn't very helpful. Just curious since your mom's diet is so restrictive - what does she eat? It sounds like the Disney chefs weren't very accommodating especially in France, that's awful. I really want to do a lunch at Chefs de France so we can see Remy! I think Gavin would get a kick out of it.
Can't wait to hear more! Your August trip is SO SOON!
I saw you said the studios were too small. Uh oh, that was my plan for upcoming trips. 1BR is definitely going to be out of our budget, might have to go back to the drawing board. Our next trip is just going to be DH, baby (who will be 2.5 then) and I, still too small? Bummer!!
No worries!
Thanks, her clothes have become my secondary obsession (behind Disney, of course!) I already have some new Disney inspired ellies in the works.
I'm sure my mom could give you a huge list of things she eats but I really don't know aside from veggies and fruits. I get the GF thing, it's a disease (celiac) so she needs to be gluten free for her stomach. BUT she added in Veganism to "eat healthier" which has really made her way too skinny IMO and she just doesn't seem healthy. BUT the biggest annoyance is that she is selective - at Disney she went 100% vegan (to be annoying, IMO! LOL) but at home she will cook with eggs or whatever, will eat honey, cottage cheese, etc. So she just seems to be making it difficult. I don't see her much because between that and her many crazy dogs, it is just tough getting together with them (they are a 4 hour drive away).
Chefs is GREAT! I should have made a ADR for it in August. Hmm. I am hankering for that chicken and mushroom dish. Remy is awesome and the handler has been really fun too.
Regarding the studios - which resorts are you thinking about?? BLT was REALLY, REALLY small. Granted, we had a TON of luggage (we were going to be at Disney for 10 nights) so that took up a lot of room. But the kitchen configuration was really weird and took up a lot of the room, so there wasn't a great spot for the pack n play, which also took up a lot of room. At 2.5 though, will your baby sleep in a PnP, crib, your bed, or pull out couch? That could make a huge difference if sleeping in your bed or couch. Also, a 2.5 year old might be able to stay up later so needing a little separation to give you guys some time in the evening when they are asleep might not be as necessary. That is the biggest thing for me wanting a 1BR+ - having a spot to put Aria down for naps or bedtime (she goes to sleep at 7PM at home, usually by 8PM on vacation) and have a place for US to relax with wine, tv, or whatever without worrying about waking her up.
So after saying all that above, studios at any of the resorts would be okay, except BLT we just would only do a 1BR there as the room was just too small.
And we headed to the Oz playground.
yes I suppose I can still act like a teenager when mad at my mom. Then checked out the store and attempted a hat pic.
which is cool with me. 
hopefully that's not the case though.
hope you guys don't mind this reminiscing - i certainly couldn't post this on my FB wall. Ppl already think i'm crazy. 
Who the heck cares what other people take pictures of on vacation? I think that would have made me take even more food pics and tag that person in all of them.
