This day just seems to wipe away whatever "blues" may have been there the day before. You all look so sunned and happy from breakfast to pool time!!! WHAT a great entry. I never thought to do Boma for breakfast... sure looks like it was good!

Really loved the photos from the MK, and DHS.... gotta love when the posted time is no where near the real time, and that is a good thing!!!

So fun you were able to meet up with Diane and her family so often, that really is fun to have made that connection through the DIS!!! Your MK evening seemed to be a happier one as a result!

I agree with you about Derby and the signature status.... doesn't seem to match...

Anyway, what a tremendous couple of posts... So much FUN!!!

Great video of Luke dancing in the parade. I've wondered what Brown Derby was like. You are right, sounds like it should be one credit.

Great update. The characters from UP are so cute!!! Wow, Tim got great pics from the iphone! Too funny about Lauren with the parasol!

 

[shannon47142]

love Lauren's outfit and hairdo
glad you guys enjoyed Boma's--it was favorite of ours last summer, too

Loving the updates, I have never understood the fascination with the grapefruit cake

 

[jwwi]

I just love DHS, and really enjoy Walt's One Man's Dream attraction. Sounds like you had a great day. The Brown Derby is good, but pretty expensive. I love Coconut Shrimp at Outback, Tim's appetizer was so small, I would never be able to have that as my meal like I do at Outback. But you really can't compare Disney food to large chain restaurants.
Love all the pictures of the kids with the UP characters.

I'm not Lesley, but I have been to the water parks. We do wear water shoes, because the pavement and steps get so hot, and you can't wear flips or buckles on the slides. We are cheap - we just buy the water socks at Walmart or something rather than spend $100 on Keens just for the one or 2 days.

Nice update Lesley! I'm glad you enjoyed your Boma breakfast and dinner! We liked the breakfast, but weren't so sure about the flavors for dinner. Loved Luke dancing and how you got to hang out with your DIS friends at the resort!

So sorry about the work crisis. That really stinks. I got a few panic calls on our last trip. First one came while riding Big Thunder, saw it was work and thought Oh crap!! Not on Mickey time. I hope you got the situation resolved.

Thanks for the warning on Brown Derby, not 2 credit worthy for sure.

So glad you guys liked Boma. Did Tim get his hummus fix?
Jiko looked great, we haven't tried it yet.
Also haven't tried the plaza, that looks like one to add to the list.

Great update, loved all the pics.

 

[tinkgurl]

Aw that looks like a great day! I'm definately going to have to do Playhouse Disney next year with my little guy.

I'm so glad the TSM line wasn't that line for you guys! When we were there, the wait said 90 minutes and we got in line and it was only 40, but it went by fast because they weren't weaving inside at all!

Another action packed day! Toy Story Mania was definately one of our favourite rides! I think because its such great family fun we all loved it soo much! The lines for it though are incredible aren't they? So glad you didn't have long to wait!

We can't wait for "UP" to come out over here! The characters look good fun! We saw the Bolt Characters there and wow were they fabulously fun! They spent sooo much time with the kids playing with them it was amazing!

We never done the Walt - One's man Dream attraction either - I think the kids will be slightly older and may appreciate it next year so may give it a go!

How are you finding the Deluxe Dining Plan? We are booked with this next year (mainly Paddy's choice!LOL) and I am just slightly worried that its too much food and maybe a tad restrictive with having to rush aroudn for ADR's all the time? Although being able to have the choice of soo many wonderful restaurants is fab!

How sweet of Diane to do the goodie bags for the kids as well! Lovely Diane!Glad you had a lovely relaxing end to the day!

Finally got to read all of your trip report so far - it all sounds amazing!! I have many of the same shots you have of Tim acting crazy like my husband does! Usually we go in May and your TR help get me over the blues of the trip being over. This year you will be helping feed my disney addiction that I need to help get to the 35 days we have left before we leave. Looking forward to hearing more.

Bummer on the grapefruit dessert. I hope tim shared his banana foster with ya

my sentiments exactly

 

[cherbear]

what a FUN day! Diane is just wonderful with the fastpasses on the first day, now the gift bags.

Lesley, would you say you preferred Boma's breakfast or dinner? (ie. if you had a choice of eating there for breakfast or dinner which would you choose?)

 

[The Marsons]

Great update.

Think i'm going to leave Brown Derby next year. We went to Hollywood and Vine last year. Don't know where to try perhaps Mama melrose??

Boma is one of our favourite places. The desserts at that place are to die for.

Looking forward to the next

 

[micandminforever]

Great update, and I enjoyed the video of Luke dancing. It sounds like you had a action packed day filled with wonderful food.

 

[Mycuteboyz3]

What a great day so far.. That picture of you tasting that grapefruit cake is priceless. TSM is definately my favorite ride and I agree with you that I would wait 40 mins for that ride. I can't wait to see the characters of UP my little one will go crazy. Lauren is too cute with those pigtails. Just adorable.

 

[stacikristine]

What a great day!! One Man's Dream is definitely on our to-do list for Sept--neither of us have done this either. I loved the pictures of your family in there and with the UP characters--LOVE this movie! I'm Really glad you liked Boma too--we're going for our last dinner and then for breakfast on our last day. I'll put the seafood gumbo on my list for sure!! And that is HILARIOUS that Lauren was walking around with only her parasol!
