Lurker here!! and I live in Northwest Tennessee!

Erica

Hi Erica ....I'm Erica from the Middle part of TN Glad you came out of lurkdom!

Jill - All of your Halloween pics are GREAT! Love the fall festival and of course Ariel and Flounder. You did such a great job on that costume for Bella!!

Memom - Can't wait for the rest of the fun packed day!! 20 days until we leave!!!!

Have a good weekend all

 

[jenjolt]

Great update Memom!!! I really am excited to hear all about your 4parks 1 day extravaganza!!!! Loved the pictures of POP in the early morning!!! That resort is so much fun...I'm sure you can't wait to get back in December!!!!

 

[Poolrat]

True - you don't even have to go into a park to have lots of Disney fun. I went one year with a friend and Drew and a buddy of his. It was an extreme budget trip for her, so we only went to one park. She chose Hollywood. We did that, and then spent the rest of the trip at DTD and going resort hopping/shopping, and we had a great time

I agree. I missed a lot of what was NOT in the parks this go around. Just not enough time . I am thinking I can bribe my not -so-Disney- Lovin DH into a trip if I can breathe the words - no parks- or at least limited parks and lots of resort time. A girl can try right?

It is so nice to know I'll be Soarin' in spirit

I have been playing my 4 parks 1 world CD in the car on the way to work. Soarin is the track of choice going in. If a start to smell the trees and oranges in the car, I know the Disney obsession has gone too far
For the Ride home it is my Illuminations CD. I can get track 1 done almost to the second on the ride home. Always a great way to end my day.

Yeah, Pop is sort of home to us. We just know it well and feel like it belongs to us. We do let other people borrow it when we aren't there, though.

I basically stayed there the last time based on your reviews and pictures. I found it to be a great resort! Almost better that the Coronado as far as Disneyness and some of the service.








Drew is up and at 'em!

Yes he does look like my crew at disney - I wear them out.
I am always like this

Loved the Sorin fastpass dash picture- I have one just like it

 

[xoktenox]

So I guess Drew is not really much of a morning person? He'll get up and do it for a great mom like you though! That's one serious camera right there too!

I can't think of any better way to start off a birthday

 

[moparop]

I loved this morning's installment. I grinned through the entire post! Such a great birthday start!

Glad to hear they spilled the beans on having a birthday girl in the crowd.

 

[tinkgurl]

Aw, I was smiling through this whole update!

I'd like to know what Brookie was saying to him too!

I was getting excited seeing all the CM's coming to you too!

Love the ones of Mickey & Minnie with Bella and Brookie. I can't believe how much Bella sleeps through!

Okay, I have to admit..it was weird seeing your name on your birthday button and not "MeMom".

 

[mickeysmyboy]

What a great way to spend a birthday!!! I LOVE it!

I love the pics!! So many cute ones!! The up and at em one of drew is too funny!! DH trys that but with 3 kids it doesn't work out well for him.

We've never done rope drop at Epcot! It looks like fun!!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

I have some excitting news!

Since our Disney cruise had to be postponed (I had to replace our furnace while you were gone to WDW )$$$$ .

I started looking at March break instead and decided to just do it! Life is short after all! And it's F&G Festival too!

I booked POP for 7 nights!

I will surprize Lexi with it at Christmas...if I can keep it a secret that long...

When I made the reservation the lady asked if I wanted to make dining reservations....I paused.....I was not prepared....I panicked a bit...
I am used to planning trips far in advance and usually have to wait til my ADR window opens up. I had to tell her no.
I got off the phone and directly went online and saw the hours are up, and then figured out a rough plan.
I was originally going to just do the Quick service dining plan, but decided to upgrade.

I thought all the good places would be taken.....
I was so excitted to get everything I wanted!

Here's what I got:

1900 Park Fare
Cape May Cafe
Le Cellier
Tusker House 'Donald's Breakfast'
Chef Mickey's
Crystal Palace
Teppan Edo
Sci Fi
Ohana

So you HAVE to convince Brooklynn'sMommy to go now!

I just noticed Tinkgirl is going the same week so it could be a mini DIS meet.

 

[punkin413]

Drew is up and at 'em!

bella looks like she's taking after uncle drew!

that's what ray looks like on our one rope drop morning every trip.

Drew's camera.

i'm impressed!

There's no better birthday than to have your family and ....

nearby.

i agree! too bad it will never happen for me. i have a july birthday, too (the 18th) and i know that i couldn't deal with the heat that time of year down there. you are a better woman than me!

Mickey thought he better let Bella know she really was supposed to be up and enjoying the festivities.

Again with Bella's thrills.

she cracks me up! i had to share those with ray. too cute.

Somebody spilled the beans about an old lady's birthday, so I got a little treat.

sweet!

 

[BrooklynnsMommy]

So update in the world of Isabella. She now is not only a championship crawler, she is also pulling up on everything!!!!! I went to get her out of her bed yesterday and there was her little peanut head sticking up over the edge. So we had to put the crib on the lowest level yesterday afternoon.

This is her new favorite activity in the living room.

She loves pulling up on the coffee table and knocking everything off! She looks so funny pulled up as tiny as she is. She just turned 7 months on Thursday but she is still wearing 0-3 months clothes.

 

[WrightFamily06]

Adorable pictures from Rope Drop ! I love how Bella can always sleep through all the noise , so sweet . Glad to see you got a Birthday Button , it wouldn't be a Birthday at WDW without one ! Can't wait to read more about your Birthday day and see how the 4 parks in one day worked out


Jill, adorable pictures of Bella pulling herself up , such a beautiful smile !

 

[Lady Lallie]

Aww, Bella is so adorable! She is a little peanut.

 

[MeMom]

Sweet baby Bella. She's going to be just like her Uncle Bubby. He was doing that at five months!!! It was a crazy sight to see that little bitty thing pull himself up.

Brooklynn and Bella - MeMom loves you lots and lots. I will see you this weekend and we will find something fun to do.

Everyone have a wonderful Sunday morning. I'll be back to do replies and maybe some more Epcot fun after church.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Oh my gosh Jill! Bella is just adorable, and she looks so happy to be pulling herself up! I'm sure she does a wonderful job of cleaning off every surface she comes in contact with!

 

[punkin413]

GO, BELLA, GO!!!

such cute pictures. i love hearing things about how she's growing. she's a few days older than margot so it's neat to see how they are learning the same things around the same times. brett said he had her in the floor the other day on a blanket and he was laying on the couch, watching TV. then all of the sudden, he sees this little face pop up next to him - she had pulled herself up on the couch! he couldn't believe it. oh, he also said she now has 4 teeth: the 2 center ones on the bottom and then her 2 fangs!!!! he said it's hysterical when she smiles. i haven't gotten a picture yet but when i do, i'll share it.

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

What a cute pic!

She has the biggest smile...kinda like "look at what I can do!"

You should be one proud Momma!

 

[Happy Elf]

Love the pictures of Bella! She is so cute! It is funny when they look too small to be doing what they are doing. Owen is a peanut too, but he can walk, run and climb with the best of them.

 

[tinkgurl]

So you HAVE to convince Brooklynn'sMommy to go now!

I just noticed Tinkgirl is going the same week so it could be a mini DIS meet.

Exactly what I was thinking too!

 

[tinkgurl]

Jill- Bella looks so cute! She's already such a good smiler for the camera!

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Thanks, dad!
And I always enjoy your walk pictures, too.





We have been to 'Ohana for breakfast, and we will do so again. I enjoyed it, as did Brooklynn. Jill was not feeling so great that morning, so she needs a 'do over'.

In the report right now, you are about to see some Cape May pictures. We all really, really liked it. Definitely two for it.





We have an awesome bunch of kids. It will be an ongoing wish of mine for us to get them all together someday for a big old DIS picnic!

True - you don't even have to go into a park to have lots of Disney fun. I went one year with a friend and Drew and a buddy of his. It was an extreme budget trip for her, so we only went to one park. She chose Hollywood. We did that, and then spent the rest of the trip at DTD and going resort hopping/shopping, and we had a great time.





When you were little, you hated the GI Joe aisle.

Yeah, Brook, you can announce wherever you want about NYE at Poly. Just tell them to look for the LGMH and that'll be us! We have an 8:15 Kona ADR, and after that, we'll spread out a blanket on the beach and be on the lookout for Disers.





So sweet I could just eat 'em up!





We've been around a while.





And now it's Happy Saturday!
I really love Saturdays.




It is so nice to know I'll be Soarin' in spirit!!!

I hope your trip is awesome. Maybe you'll see arkie!





Me, too!





Maybe I will get one of those next month, then.

I'm so excited for you and your trip! If I had the money, I would go at every school break I had!

Santa Mickey and Minnie are ready to come out pretty soon at my house. I need to go find the Thanksgiving ones today.





You are on your way to the fun right now!

Yeah, Pop is sort of home to us. We just know it well and feel like it belongs to us. We do let other people borrow it when we aren't there, though.


*******************************

It is Four Parks, One Day Extravaganza time, as Jill had named this day.

Everyone would not be doing four parks, but everyone was starting out the day together for Soarin' and a Cape May breakfast.

I think Trent had come down to our room to visit while Jarvis was getting ready down in the other room.

It was very nice to have three rooms.

Drew is up and at 'em!

Drew's camera.

Some of my favorite people.

Documentation of where I was on my 52nd birthday.

Waiting to get into Epcot.

I was very happy to be celebrating with !

Your birthday is July 30? No way! So is mine! (Of course, I'm a bit younger than you )
