Brooklynn takes Bella to meet Cinderella! Page 242 Downtown Disney

You two really are on the same wavelength!

You don't even know how true that is! We call each other all the time and say, "I was just thinking about....." and the other one of us will say we were just doing the same thing or saying the same thing. We had talked about Halloween costumes for the girls several days ago, and found out day before yeaterday that we were on ebay at the same time looking at the same costumes, and we had the same idea - none of which were the ones we had talked about. I will think about telling Jill something, and within one minute or less, the phone will ring (well, it'll play It's a Small World), and it will be her. I promise, we do have some kind of telepathy. Even though I really don't believe much of that, we are a pretty good case for it!

That's wild and just too cool!

That is really cool!!!!!! My mom usually knows what I am about to say, unless its about to be one of my "Jessica" moments!

Those macadamia nut pancakes sound very tasty. I'm thinking either Dec. or June....

 

[tinkgurl]

It's okay by me. Hopefully Dawn and Erica can come, too, and we'll get tables all put together for a fun time.

Little did I know that while I was secretly booking some fun stuff for us to do, she was also secretly booking Kona for breakfast so that I could get my pancakes!

Wow, well they do say great minds think alike!

Yeah, that'd be great if Dawn and Erica could make it too!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Eep! 10 pages behind!

It was like $16. Way too expensive. We just let her stop whenever she saw them and play with them to cool down for a minute. I just couldn't pay that much for it when I knew I had the little handheld one at the hotel that wouldn't be such a pain to lug around.

That is way too expensive! Good idea on letting her play/cool down. I'm just going to stick with the mini we have, I'm sure it will be just fine.

That is so cute!

Okay, true POPers, here's a quiz for you.

What is this?

I knew you knew!

The Playdough Fun Factory! I had that and thought it was a very cool toy.

This CM was scrubbing the pond.

Eeep! What a job! She should be on that "Dirty Jobs" show!

... (well, it'll play It's a Small World), and it will be her. I promise, we do have some kind of telepathy. Even though I really don't believe much of that, we are a pretty good case for it!

What an appropriate ring tone!


Loving all the updates! Jill, Brooklynn's party looked FANTASTIC!! MeMom, I'm glad to hear things are looking positive on the doctor front.

Sometimes it scares me!

That is really cool!!!!!! My mom usually knows what I am about to say, unless its about to be one of my "Jessica" moments!

Your mom knows you well. Are you ever thinking of something you want to tell her, and she calls to tell you the same thing? I promise we do that often!

Those macadamia nut pancakes sound very tasty. I'm thinking either Dec. or June....

Me, too, and if we could ever coordinate the timing of our trips, we could eat them together!

Wow, well they do say great minds think alike!

Yeah, that'd be great if Dawn and Erica could make it too!

Let us know what day you're coming through in June, and we'll inform Dawn, Erica, and the hippo!

Eep! 10 pages behind!

You are supposed to be resting that foot, so it seems that you should have plenty of DIS time. I know you are staying completely off of it so that it can heal...right? You've hired a toddler chaser to do your main work for you, and you are kicked back with that foot up; I just know it!

Brooklynn loves Play Doh. She got a little thing that makes ice cream sundaes for her birthday, and she made some fabulous concoctions!

As for the doctor, I had the MRI yesterday. I laid in the tube for about forty minutes with only my shoulders and head sticking out. My back started cramping during the last five minutes, but I didn't move. I'll find out the results today.

Tusker House breakfast started with a picture in front of these cool masks.

Inside, there is a huge room with buffet tables all along the sides and in the center.

I like that there was plenty of room to move around without them being crowded.

My very full plate.

Brooklynn's friend, Donald, came by to say 'Jambo'.

Wall decor.

Brook waits her turn for Daisy.

Bella's expressions are so funny.

Mickey.

The blur is Brooklynn flapping up and down with excitement as Mickey signs her book.

More African decor.

The ceiling was interesting.

Goofy.

Brooklynn in her familiar pose as Goofy signs the book.

This meal was very good. The ham was delicious! As we exited, the rope was dropping, and we were off to Kilimanjaro Safari and some stubborn giraffes.

Good Morning MeMom!!!! I love being able to get up in the morning and read through your update before I head off to school!!!

You have to love the smiles on Brooklynn's face with every character, that is one happy princess!!! She is too cute beyond words and is loving every minute at Disney!!

Hmmm...Tusker House...will be eating there for my birthday breakfast too LOL!! I can't wait!!

Stubborn giraffes...well that should be an interesting story!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

For some reason my strawberry Nutrigrain bar is tasting a little dry this morning.

Love the Brooklyn blur -- I know just how she feels!

I am so thrilled you loved Tusker House!

It's dark and pouring rain here this morning, so it was wonderful to escape to Harambe and my favorite place to breakfast!

 

[moparop]

Yum! Tusker House looks delish! How does the food there compare to Crystal Palace's breakfast?

How sweet that you booth booked breakfasts! By doing H&V this trip, you can try a Kona lunch and a Kona breakfast later. We only did dinner, but I have heard every meal is great there. I can't wait to see Brooklynn's 3 year pics. Liam was not super cooperative for his, so I hope hers turned out better. What Halloween costumes are you guys thinking of for the girls? My boys are both fairly certain they are going to be Buzz Lightyear. I keep trying to talk up Woody, but neither of them are having it.

Hope it's a good report from the doc today! I'll be thinking of you!

 

[IluvXU]

Another good morning update... my Disney fix!

We enjoyed the breakfast there, but that was pre Daisy... so we need to go again. Great pictures of the family, Brooklynn's excitement is so sweet.

 

[lmillercrew]

Ummm, I'll take that pan of bacon please!!!!
That breakfast looks so yummy compared to my bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Makes me want to fry some bacon!

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

Hmmmmm, I have Tusker House breakfast booked as an extra for our Nov. trip (I always book one extra adr just in case we miss one or someone gets sick, plans get changed, whatever). I really had no intention of actually going unless we missed one of our other ressies, but now you are making me think we should go even if we pay out-of-pocket. It looked really good. I just hate to book an adr during park time on an AK day b/c we have a hard time doing all of AK in one day. I know others say it takes them less than a day, but when I go, I want to do it ALL! So I book adr's for after park closing on those days. I just don't think we could get up and out and be there for a preopening ressie. How do you do that with kids????? We would have to get up at 5 am! What time was your reservation that day?

 

[micandminforever]

Great character pictures, Bella does not seem to be afraid. I can't wait to see how she reacts in Oct. being a little older. It is great about Kona, DH and I are eating there for the first time in Sept. for dinner.

 

[MagicShell]

I love your "sleepy" Pop pictures. I actually got up before everyone else so that I could see what you see on our last trip. It is really nice to see everything so quiet and peaceful.

How sweet of both you and Jill to think of each other and book meals for the other. Of course, I understand Brooklynn winning out on the location. It really is all about seeing your precious children happy. I hope you have a great trip. I know you will.

 

[Megablocks]

Tusker House looks so cool AND yummy -- that is yet another one I'm considering. Plus it's a buffet, so my sister would be able to find food that she likes. I'd love to go there before the park opens, too, and see it all empty!

 

[Im_with_Dopey]

Wonderful Tusker breakfasts pics, ahhhh I remember it well we ate there last Aug. My grandson's 8th birthday is tomorrow, and he picked Chef Mickeys for his birthday celebration this trip and he wanted it to be breakfast so I am looking forward to that. Last Aug. he picked Chef Mickey's for his birthday dinner

 

[hollisterluva92]

Wow! I love your TR so far!! Great pics! I must say Bella and Brooklyn are the most adorable little girl's ever I love the name Bella by the way, that's what i'm naming my daughter! I am getting the Disney bug majorly just by reading this! I can't wait to read more. How does the stroller swap work? I've heard of it, and I'm taking my friend for graduation but we're meeting our other friend with her daughter and that might be something to look into. Thanks for all the great stuff so far!

She is a happy little girl when she is in her Disney World!

I'm glad you enjoy waking up to Disney happiness. Makes me feel good about putting the pictures up.

The Nutrigrain bar pales in comparison to that meal, but I guess we should be grateful we have more Nutrigrain days than Tusker House days or else we'd be very poor and very large!

It's been a rainy day here, too, and Jill said it was in Huntsville, as well.

Yum! Tusker House looks delish! How does the food there compare to Crystal Palace's breakfast?

I haven't had a Crystal Palace breakfast, but it is on our list. Their dinners are superb, though!

I ended up changing the Kona do an early dinner because they didn't have the menu I wanted at lunch time.

Jill thinks the final decision is that Brooklynn is going to be her very beloved Ariel and Bella will be Flounder.

Another good morning update... my Disney fix!

We're happy to provide it. We loved yours so much, and we're ready for you to book again! With Hannah and Luke having birthdays, we've still been able to see your sweet kids, but what happens when there's a lull in the action? We'll miss those kids we've grown to love through your report!
