[carrieannie]

Cool pictures! The rose came out great also! I was wondering how Brooklynn did with the Haunted Mansion? We ate at Columbia Harbor House for our first time in Sept also..it was great! looking forward to more!

I cannot wait to see what they did to the HH.

Love the pic MeMom. Pooksma would be very jealous of the Mary poppins pic.

I'm off to add the fnishing touches to our report. Can't wait to read more of yours.

Yeah HM!!!

Ya know I'm a bad DISer because I really don't know what they did differently to HM. Other than everything moving smoother and looking clean.

Brooklynn wasn't scared?

Nope! Brooklynn did great. She just looked all around and watched everything as it went by. She sat all by herself between Memom and me the whole ride. You all must remember that she has been trained. Disney is a happy fun place and even if it seems scary it is make believe. Anything not scary - totally real, not make believe at all. At 14 months the child can identify each princess when asked. That's right folks train your children correctly. She hasn't begun potty training but she knows her disney characters.

Awesome pictures. I cannot wait to go on the HM in November. I LOVE that ride...

 

[Glendamax]

Hey! I finally made it back!

Thanks for thinking of me on HM! Good thing you werent stuck for too long. When I go back in Dec, I'm going to have to ride this sooner in the day in case I end up in there a bit too long! Oh! And I will take note of the china pattern in the dinning room. I'm always so busy looking for the hidden Mickeys, that I never took note of the china pattern!

Love the pics!

Great pictures of the Haunted Mansion! Looking forward to hearing more!

We saw Belle and a very short Gaston. It took the CM's begging about five little boys in the audience before they finally got one to play the part.

As we were lined up for Brooklynn to have her picture made with Belle, it started sprinkling. We did get our turn, but I think we were one of the very last ones before they whisked her away, as the rain got heavier very quickly.

We took shelter for a few minutes to let the rain die down, and it didn't take long.

We drink a LOT of water. Bottles and bottles and bottles a day.

Of course we did a little shopping. We are girls. We shop.

I indulged in one of my pleasures - taking pictures of weird things. Here's your sign!

We got a little ice cream to cool us off.

Brooklynn played at Winnie the Pooh's playground. She loved going in and out of things.

I had wanted to ride Astro Orbiter back in the summer, but we had a little mishap that prevented me from doing so. I had been watching Brooklynn while the others went on I believe Space Mountain. When we left, after a little bit, I discovered I had left the camera somewhere. Everyone went in search of it, and we figured it had to have been left on the bench where I had been sitting. When we got back, that bench was full of people. We asked them about a camera, and sure enough, it was still there. My group was a tiny bit aggravated at me, not bad, but it was late, and I felt bad asking them if they could stay just a little longer so I could ride Astro Orbiter, so I kept my mouth shut.

I wanted to ride Astro Orbiter this time, but not alone, so maybe I'll do it in the spring, when we have more adults. It's not that I have any huge thing about going around in circles, but I want to get some good pictures from up high, if I can.

Some pictures of Jill and Brooklynn just enjoying being back at Disney World. It felt so, so good being there on that beautiful fall day.

We saw that Buzz Lightyear had a five minute wait, so we hopped on.

It was Mommy versus Brooklynn while MeMom tried to get pictures.

Mommy won big time.

We were fortunate enough to witness the flag lowering ceremony in the afternoon, and it was amazing. It was so moving. Just powerfully moving. That veteran stood so proud, and there were people all around singing the patriotic songs loudly and proudly. If you've never seen this, make a point to do so. It is a great experience.

We saw real Stitch, but doll Stitch had stayed back at the stroller while we walked a bit, so he missed out on seeing him.

It's almost time to get ready for Mickey's Not So Scary (and pretty awesome) Halloween Party!

 

[scottny]

great update. I love all the pics you take. I just bought another memory card today so now when I go I will have enough for 5000 - 6000 pics.

 

[carrieannie]

Thank-you! Perfect!

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Your pics are great! I can't wait to see the MNSSHP pics!

Would anybody believe me if I said I was going back the week of Thanksgiving? Trent decided he could go after all, so he wants to go down the Friday before Thanksgiving as soon as my school is out. We'll only stay two days, but with the passholder rate and annual pass, it won't cost that much. It'll be fun! I'm not sure if Drew will be able to go because of work, but if he can, we sure want him to, although he's not as big on Disney as the rest of us. I have e-mailed Jill to see if she could possibly miss two more days, but I haven't heard back from her. She's not at her phone, so I'm guessing it's another crazy day at the day care.

I'm excited to be able to ride some things with Trent and take some Christmas decoration pictures. It'll be different, though, unless Jill goes. She and Brooklynn are my shopping buddies. Trent will do something else while I shop, otherwise one or both of us will be miserable. About the only thing he'll shop for is electronics or food! If it's either of those things, he's up for it.

Anyway, we booked last night for Pop, so hopefully I'll have some good Pop picture to add to the PC picture thread, as well as some with Christmas decoration to add to this one. I don't know how much they'll have up before Thanksgiving, but surely there will be some.

I'm really hoping Jill can go, since she doesn't get a Thanksgiving weekend break.

That's awesome!!! You are so lucky!

 

[MeMom]

That's awesome!!! You are so lucky!

Yeah, I guess you are, too, leaving in two days for AKL!

 

[carrieannie]

What about Kristy? Jill please go with your Mom!! I f not I will! How long is the drive for you BTW,,

 

[scottny]

Kristi is unsure of her plans right now, but he wants to go on and go. They may do some family stuff later in the week.

Jill, did you hear her? She said go. The room is ours, the shops are filled with STUFF, and that's about all we need.

 

[snowbell]

Memom -- those pictures are great...

and i cannot believe you are going again.... you are putting me to shame...

I truly wish I could go but with a corporate visit looming sometime in the unannounced future, my in-laws possibly all coming to my house for the traditional turkey dinner, and the fact that the only day I get off is Thanksgiving Day I won't be able to sneak away. Plus, we are going at Christmas and I will miss a week of work then.
