It's good to hear you all had an enjoyable time on your most recent trip! It's great that Carter and Landon have found favorite attractions and are starting to share in the Disney magic.
And an adults-only trip at AKl! That sounds like it'll fantastic!
I'm really glad that Carter and Landon are liking Disney these days. They're probably going to be going there an awful lot.
I'm so excited to go to the AKL! As much as I love seeing the parks with the boys, it'll be so nice to go back to how it used to be before we had them.
I'm so glad I found your TR! (I have so enjoyed your past ones.) I was kinda jealous of the people who got to be in MK for the 40th celebrations until I read about how crazy it was in your account.
Your boys are getting so big and it is cool to see how much they are enjoying your trip and how they loved the characters...too cute! Did you like the overall expereince at Windsor and being off-site? The shrimp taco looked delicious. I'm looking forward to being close to Disney next Food & Wine to hopefully get a few date nights in the world showcase with the Mr. I also liked reading your expereince in the 5k. I'm working my way to hopefully doing one or two during oour time in the U.S. I was thinking of doing the stroller division with my little guy, but glad to know beforehand that would mean that I couldn't run. Do you think you'll ever do another one? Or, was it a one-time kinds thing for you guys? I can't wait to hear more about your trip and so glad to hear that you enjoyed your most recent trip.
I'm glad you found my TR, too! Welcome! I thought about skipping the 40th, since I knew it would be crowded, but I just couldn't stand the thought that they might do something grand and I could have been there and missed it. Looking back on it, I should have done something else. Each trip with the boys a little older gets a little more fun. I love watching them meet the characters.
Windsor Hills was nice...it was great to have more room and the place itself was perfect. The only downside is just that it wasn't onsite. I don't know. There's no good reason for it, but I really, really like staying onsite. It's more magical somehow.
The F&W Festival would make a great date night, so I hope that works out for you. It's a very nice addition to Epcot.
Disney races are really fun and I'd love to do another one someday. I'm not sure if I'm sold on the stroller division, though. I think next time, we'd leave the boys with their grandparents so we could actually run and not have a cumbersome stroller. We're actually toying with the Tower of Terror Ten Miler. But, if the only way I could do a Disney race was in the stroller division, I'd way rather do that than skip it.
Thanks!
Glad you all had such a good time and enjoy your next trip. Im taking a trip in may with all adults and i plan on enjoying leaving a stroller at home and riding all the big rides
Thanks! Am I right in thinking that you were at CSR last week, too? Maybe I'm confused about that. Our trip is in May, too. It'll be so nice to leave the stroller behind. We're going to be guests without bags, too. Where are you staying?
It's so cute that the boys are now requesting their favorite rides! (Although I'm sure their opinions are not always welcome
)
You next trip sounds wonderful.
With all the traveling that we do with Claire, I dream of adult-only trips. That will be a little way down the road for us, though, as we have no one here to leave her with.
I am SO envious of your frequent Disney trips!
I told Carter and Landon this last trip, that it really works best if everyone just does what I suggest. I told them I spend a lot of time learning about Disney World and thinking about the best plans and that I know what I'm doing. They didn't believe it for a second.
I've been dreaming of an adults only trip for awhile now and I still can't believe we're really doing it. WDW is just so much easier without little kids.
We've been very lucky this year. I always figure Annual Passes are only dangerous if you don't know how to use them.
I guess you need to help him understand that the reason you bought that nice comfy stroller for him and Landon is so that you don't
have to go back to the room.
You know, if I thought for one second that we could go back to the room in the afternoon and they'd both lay down sweetly and quietly and nap for a few hours, I'd be happy to go back to the room. But going back to the room so they can jump on the bed is a different matter entirely.
Glad to hear that your latest trip was a success! How cute that the boys recognize the rides now! I'm hoping that Everett begins to really make the connection this trip. He's getting there, when I ask him what he wants to ride at Disney World, he'll say "ride pirates", but I don't think he really understands what he is saying. All this just means that we need more trips!
I wouldn't feel bad about missing out on the meatballs, you can just get the same thing at Ikea (which is an awesome place to go with kids, if there is one near you!- I don't even shop for furniture, I just let Everett play in the toy section and eat in the cafeteria, lol!)
I agree that the shrimp taco was delish, one of my favorite offerings! Can't wait to see what else you sample!
I love talking Disney with the boys! Everett sounds like he's off to a good start with pirate ride. That's one of Carter and Landon's favorites. I think it helps that I supplement the brainwashing by making them listen to Magical Mouse Radio at home. Today, they played the spiel from the Monorail and Carter got really excited and said "Momorail! Momorail on laptop!" Of course, more trips are always a good idea!
I don't think we have an Ikea here...I should check, though because it sounds like a lot of fun. It's always tricky to find good places to visit when the weather is bad.
I can't wait to get another shrimp taco next year!
Glad you had a great trip! I love the names the boys are using for the rides, especially for Philharmagic. How adorable! Happy Birthday to Carter!
Carter and Landon both like to watch Philharmagic with the glasses on top of their heads.
As long as they're having fun, I guess! It's nice that they enjoy the parks so much. Thanks!
The drive down was a little rough. Carter was crying because he dropped his shoe and Landon was about to wiggle himself free from the car seat buckle and I was turned around trying to get them to ride like normal people and not savages and totally missed that great moment when we passed under the arch. I told Jeremy he should have said something, but apparently, he didn't know it was that big of a deal.
