Brook is back with an update!!


And what a wonderful update!

It's great that you have enough humor to post your family portrait, it was very funny. Besides Henry looking a bit drunk, his head is also double the size of Joe's!
You did experience quite a lot that morning and it looks very uncrowded... Perhaps there is something to be said abour September...

I loved all the Henry pictures walking in and out of Test Track, it looks like he was on kind of a mission to get there! And a very smart idea to go shopping while the boys explore the cars.

May I suggest that you use your phones to find each other in Mouse Gear, that place eats people, I have spent so much time looking for people in there....
It feels sooooo good to be back! I missed you all! Seriously, I think about you DISers all the stinkin' time, when I'm not chatting with you-it's weird!

However, reading all these TRs I have been behind on sure makes me ACHE a lot more for a trip. I'm glad ours is just around the corner.
Isn't that picture absurd?! I laughed so hard...it was too bad to not share! I knew everyone would get a kick out of it. Joe looks so weird - and you are right, his head looks TINY!

The angle on me is just awful too!
September is sooooooo nice crowd-wise. And of course we use Touring Plans to tell us the least crowded park. We love it! Later in the trip we hit one day with crowds, and it was a AM EMH, so makes sense. On our honeymoon we went in October and that was actually our favorite though - low crowds AND awesome weather.
Very good idea with the phone in Mouse Gear. I haven't been in that store in a looooooong time - maybe since our first trip! I wouldn't mind getting lost in there for a long while, but eventually would want to emerge.
Yeay for an awesome update to start my day! That private entrance to Epcot is quite lovely, isn't it?

Hurray for Henry being tall enough to ride Test Track! Love his thumbs-up! I bet he was in heaven playing in the cars afterwards! Too funny that all the CMs would say, "You found Nemo!" He does look very happy with his new friend! I laughed so loud over the little boy's comment in Crush!
The DIS with coffee is a lovely thing, isn't it? I'm doing just that as well.
Henry has played with those cars on every trip, but it was like it was all brand new being he doesn't remember anything/much from previous trips--which was a lot of fun for us. And he's so much more vocal and into things, so the cars were a real treat for him!
Ha! That is so funny about turtle talk with Crush. X-rated stlye!
And your comment about your family pic made me LOL literally! I stopped trying to get a good family pic and just focus on trying to get a good single pic of Gabriel. Someone always ends up with their eyes closed, or half open looking drugged or mouth open......sometimes all three!
Henry is too cute with his Nemo!
Gabriel has asked for the "Fish Tank Gang" plushies for Christmas. I have just spent so much money getting Gil, Peach, Bubbles, and Bloat. I found Deb but it's from a store in Australia and I draw the line there. They don't even make a Gurgle or Jaques....so I have to tell him the Santa is too busy to have the elves make them up.
The boy has a ton a plush and he plays with every single one of them
MANY of our family portraits turn out that way too - and I usually delete and try again, but this one we only had a second, so we got what we got - and it was too funny to not post!! A very funny thread here would be for people to post these sort of pictures - us DISers standing in front of the park icons/on rides, etc that just turned out BAD.
Oh my! I have NEVER seen any of the other plush guys! Where did you find all the other ones?!?! Henry would love a Gil I think, he talks about him a lot!
OMG, those were some amusing updates! Love how the kid responded at Turtle Talk.

I am always wondering if some kid will say something like that. Hilarious.
Also thought the video of the seagulls and Henry was cute. "What do you think of that?" And Henry sneezes. LOL! How fun all the CMs would tell him he found Nemo then when he got his stuffed animal.
Sounds like a great day so far.
I bet that happens a lot at Turtle Talk! It was sooooo stinkin' funny. And very awkward for a few seconds until the first person erupted with laughter. They really should just change it to a neutral item to avoid all that!
I know, that video cracked me up too!! I almost didn't post it, but thought it was pretty cute!
I LOVE that picture of Henry with Nemo...and Nemo

It is soooooo cute

And whats with that cup you bought? It looks like it has a hook type thingy on the side of it. Does it hang on the stroller or something? I may have to loook that up when we go

Great update!!
The little blue hook thing? It's part of the lid, and I think it's purpose is just to make it easier to get the lid off...
But, now that I type that and think about it...the top screws on.
So ya, I think you just told me a tip about my cup.
$3.95 is the price. A bargain!
