It's all good! Love your dd's curls, where did they come from?! Your ds is adorable and you and your dh are such a good looking couple! I'll def keep an eye out!

 

[postalcop]

lol, her curls come from me. when i was her age my hair was sooooo curly just like her's. now its just wavey. thats why on vacation my hair is usually pulled back in a pony tail. it just get way out of control. i wish my hair could look like yours. i love it!
i will look out for you guys too! we will also be in the world showcase after 5pm. i think tats when our dinner is. we usually take the Canadian side 1st so that dh can get his yard of beer in England.

Hi all We are at 12 days now and counting!!!! "Insert earpiercing screech from Bella and saying- 12 days, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!"

We found out that Bella's good friend is flying back from Orlando the same day a little later but they may switch to our flight which would be great! The kids would be able to sit together and trip talk. They are doing a cruise, Hard Rock Hotel at Universal and SeaWorld and are leaving a bit earlier than us so we will be pool watching for them again

Ecogirl and I are planning to get together this week to map out our strategies. I gave her an assignment to figure out what she wants to do in AK so we can hit up everything. I am PSYCHED to have someone who can go at my pace for FP running and not dawdle 300 yards behind me or make me wait more than 5 mins tapping my foot on the ground What is everyones MUST do at AK? I've really only had the chance to do half the park both times I've been so can use the advice. My most definate is The Lion King show and when I "grow a pair" EE (we'll have to see about that one.....) What counter service is good there? We did Tusker House last year and have done Pizzafari so if there's any other good ones I'll take your suggestions. We both like to eat really healthy so keep that in mind.

The kids and Pierre will be doing DD and Legoland. I said they could get some money out of their accounts and Bella wants a Lego robot she saw in a book so that's at the top of her list. Cooper is going to make a beeline for the first light saber he sees which will most likely cause several fights

My binder is totally overflowing with all of my info, which is how it should be, and I need to get a little notepad to jot down our daily happenin's. I got a really good sling bag to put my stuff in and picked up some rain ponchos. How are the bugs down there now? Think we'll need bug spray? I know I'm loaded with questions this time but want it to FAB for my BFF

You know you are close when you start to think about weather.com and the 10 days forecast!!!!!

 

[hlrababy]

Wooo hoooo for 12 days!!!! Gosh, it will be here before you know it!

 

[Hedy]

[Merman]

Leyla, you must be so psyched! List of my favorites at AK

- Expedition Everest ... be sure to get there early ... grab a FP .... ride (line moves quickly and very interesting stuff to see) ... once you ride you can then use your FP to ride again.

- Finding Nemo, The Musical - I loved it ... but tend to love anything to do with the sea and Nemo ... actually saw it twice ... we liked it that much!

- Lion King ... very good show!

- Kilmanjoro Safari - get there in the morning ... animals were out in the morning when cool but tend to "disappear" in the heat of the day

Fun tours ... we did both and liked both of them ...
1. Backstate Safari
2. Wild by Design

Really wasn't too impressed with any of the food at AK ... don't remember the CS that we stopped at.

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

woohooo! 12 days!!

 

[Lesprivate]

Yeah for 12 days - we are at 8 days . You must try Flame Tree in Animal Kingdom they have the best ribs and pulled pork sandwiches.

 

[pierresgirl]

Here are a few pics from yesterday. Bella was a DIY pirate Give that kid paper, tape and a stapler and you won't see her all day....

Pierre with our 12 day counter yesterday, although we at at 11 now!

I took them to IParty yesterday to pick out an eye patch because a friend of ours has pirate outfits complete with a parrot for your shoulder for them to use. Ya never walk out with JUST what you INTEND to buy
AND when we came home our Cruise Documents were waiting for us!

Bella also got her letter from Pantene thanking her for her hair donation

She already managed to rip the eyepatch in half, I swear....

She wanted to get a picture of me actually doing something domestamicated Note to self: don't let Pierre see this.

Here's my binder- ready to burst at the seams!

Off to read- my hands are still shaking and it's hard to type. Not from the sewing but I did someone's hair last night at home and it took 4 straight hours.

Heyyyy Merman! I was just looking at the tours yesterday, I'd love to do one around Epcot one day. We may FP EE (remember we need to grow a pair ) first then go straight to KS since I know that line always backs up. I LOVED the Lion King show, it was at the top of my list last year but we didn't see Nemo. I've heard mixed reviews but it's nice to know you watched it twice.

woohooo! 12 days!!

Hi Farrah- I know, I'm SO excited! I wish I had your sewing skills. The kids were desperate for me to get a pirate costume for myself yesterday but I didn't. The only one I liked was $50 and I didn't want to spend that on something I'd wear once (they have a pirate night on the cruise)

Yeah for 12 days - we are at 8 days . You must try Flame Tree in Animal Kingdom they have the best ribs and pulled pork sandwiches.

Lucky! I realized afterwards that it WAS FTB where we ate. It was the longest line we had in Disney last year but the food was good! I'll have to check out the menu again. Where are you guys staying?

 

[Hedy]

8/22-8/24-I'm just missing you
Love the pirate stuff.

Wow- that's a quick trip from MA! Although ours is only from the 18-21st. Sometime is better than no time, right?!

We are staying at the Wilderness Lodge Villas.

I bet they are awesome, WL was our 2nd choice. Are you doing anything on the same days we are? You'll have to keep your eyes open for us and say hi!

 

[pierresgirl]

10 days people!!!!!! In a few hours we'll be at the single digits!!!!!!

I just scheduled an Enchanted Call for my niece. She will be celebrating her 5th birthday while we are gone so I set it up with Princess Jasmine. I also did one for Bella with Tigger and 1 for Cooper with Mickey. I figured I'd do one for each since they fought over the phone last year

This morning I brought Bella to work with me (Cooper slept at my sister's house) because she wanted a blue streak in the front of her hair. It's a little more subtle than the pink from last year since her hair is dark and she's happy with it. While she was processing I had Pierre exchange the Addidas sandals I got yesterday for the Croc sandals in gray and pink. SO COMFY!!!! The Addidas ones made my feet go numb and it traveled up my legs so I hadta nix 'em. Did NOT want to spend the time breaking them in but was a little bummed cause I loved the style.

I can't believe I'm so close!!!!!!! Yo, Ecogiiiiiiiirrrrrrllllll, can you stand it!!!!!!!

 

[Hedy]

By the way, I'm impressed that Pantene sent Bella a letter.

I am not sure if we have any of the same park days but I definately keep an eye out for you.

 

[DisneyJo]

Just catching up Leyla, not long to go now

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Yay for the documents!!!! Great update and pics. You guys really look like you are ready to GO!!! How cool Bella got a letter from Pantene! Well, I am super excited for you guys and can't wait to see all the pic's and read all about it.

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Your trip is soooo close!

EE is my absolute favorite thing at AK. You have to go on it!

4 straight hours to do someone's hair?!? Wow!
