Hi Cass, what a great update tonight!! Oh, and those pics, it was cooooold. But Kira looked so cozy, nice job Mom and Dad. Ok, so how do you like the difference between being onsite and off? Is it hard to go back and forth, are you close to DW? I love the condo pictures, very nice! Love the artwork on the wall. So fun Cass. So hope to "see" you more tomorrow! Have a blast! And please, isn't it time for some foodie pics with Rob and his ice cream, cmon now, so what if its 53 degrees out, right?

It's not far at all, took 13 minutes from MK parking lot to our parking spot at the condo last night, that was with very little traffic! Obviously I would MUCH prefer to be in a 1-bedroom at AKV but it was about $300 USD for those 2 nights in a Studio by renting points and it was only $450 USD for the ENTIRE week here for the 2-bedroom condo! Huge difference!! LOL, well he's still eating ice cream! I will try to post one tomorrow if he gets one but I am trying to save the food pics for the food report I will write when I get home

I love seeing the pictures and Kira looks so comfortable with the charactors! I see so many that freak out and scream when they see them.

Nope, not this kid, she is a total pro now with the characters!!!

Have a great time, can't wait until next Saturday. Enjoy Kira, she really looks like she is loving every minute!!

Despite all the meltdowns, we are still enjoying every minute

All caught up, what a great surprise to see some updates while you are THERE!!!! I am so grateful. How much fun is Kira having she is sooooo cute playing in the fountain. Again thanks for sharing and I will be looking forward to your next installment. Only when you have time of course.

Yeah, she loved getting all wet!! She's having lots of fun!

I missed your anniversary yesterday so I will say it now,

Happy Anniversary Cass and Rob!

Thanks for sharing the pics. I am hoping this week flies by! We have some small things to take care of, but it shouldn't be too bad.

Enjoy the rest of your time at the World!

Thanks Chris, see you soon!

Hi Cass! and Rob and Kira!

Loving the trip report. The pictures are wonderful!

Keep up the great work having a fabulous time at WDW. We will see you at the port on Saturday!!!

Wooo hooo, it's almost here!!!

Wow! SOrry to hear it is so chilly! Weather keeps going from one extreme to the next down there!!!

So wasn't TRex fun??!! Ernie especially loves it there. Wish my kids were cooperative when they are tired, though. They do the opposite, though, and go on LUDACRIS speed when they are pooped. Makes for some loud and unmanageable times. LOL

Can't wait to see some pics! Loving your live from report and can't wait to hear some more.
Hope everyone slept well last night! Are you going to be able to take pics of your rental? Or do we have to wait until you get back? NO hurry at all...just wondering. Can you tell I am vicariously living through you right now??!!

Ha ha!
Have a great one!

She's been doing pretty good despite being so tired. She has the meltdowns regardless of how much or little sleep she gets And, yeah TRex was pretty cool!

Checking in! Just four days to go until we head down. Thanks for the info about the weather. We will all pack something appropriate just in case. Have fun!

Matthew

It's supposed to warm up a little I think in the next few days!

I love this time of year, Cass N Rob's anniversary trip to WDW!! WOOT!

Disney is the best but doesn't experiencing it through Kira's eyes just make it all the better?!??!

Happy Belated Anniversary and can't wait to read more.

Cynde

PS this is my first post with my new DVC siggie, can't wait to see it in a thread!

Awesome siggie Cynde!! I hope to have one just like it one day but with AKV

OMG! I love this picture! It reminds me of Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh

Awwww, you're right, it is a little like pooh and CR!!


Ok, off to bed now!

Sorry meant to add this too...

Yeah, that was totally good thinking on Rob's part bringing that really warm blanket and then we also put that little pink one on just in case We saw some little kids in shorts and tees freezing to death!!!

 

[cntkg1]

So nice to hear that things are going well Cass. Have fun at EPCOT and tell Bendy we'll see her on Friday!!

See you Thursday!

A big HI!!!!

we all are Mel. we all are.

 

[CRSNDSNY]

LOL Typical Canadian -- sweatshirt and SHORTS! LOL ha ha!

Great pics! Yes, waiting in line can be torturous for them....I totally know what you mean.

Glad you got a good meal in there. That is so liberating yet you just know that it is a fluke. Sorry. Ha ha! We take what we can get, don't we??!!

Hope you had a great night!

 

[captchris]

Ok, before too many people head to Florida, I want to ask a question. I know that many are not staying at the Radisson, but are still coming to the DISmeet on Friday night.

Lets do a roll call for the Radisson DISmeet. I am thinking 8:00 or so will be primetime after we all get dinner and do any shopping in the Cocoa Beach area.

My family will be there!


OOOOOPS I am so sorry I posted this to the wrong thread. I had a compose message tab open for both this thread and the cruise meet thread. I guess I can keep it on here though since many of us will be reading Cass' report for her wonderful and informative updates!

 

[southbound]

Little dooties and I just checked out your latest pics... she loves seeing you guys! And she went crazy when she saw Mickey Mickey Mouse! LOL Hope you're having a blast and it warms up for you a bit more... especially you, Rob. You must have needed a parka! More kisses for my Kira Dootball. We miss you. Talk to you soon. Love ya.

Traveling with a 2-year-old

Ok, so since I am relatively new at this parenting thing, I am little worried about traveling with a toddler. I’ve done tons of research and have gotten a lot of great information from other more experienced parents out there but I am still shaking in my boots a little.

I remember when I was childless and I saw little kids screaming and yelling and having meltdowns, I just thanked my lucky stars that it wasn’t me who had to deal with that!! It is one of the reasons I said that I would never bring a child under 5 to Disney World.

And yet here I am, taking a child under 5 to WDW!!!
What was I thinking??

Why didn’t I listen to myself???

Now I am worried that I will be that parent, the one that people thank their lucky stars that they aren’t!

.

Plus, there’s always bribery right LOL!

We're in pre trip mode right now and I know how you feel. I am dreading the actual journey the most. But I keep asking myself: why did I plan this in the 'terrible two's' ?

Tantrums are not the thing here, but my daughter has found new and improved ways to be just as annoying

Can't wait to find out (after reading your report) how it worked out for you. We too are prepared to bribe!!!

Thanks for the update Cass and the beautiful pictures. The condo looks so comfortable.

Say hi to Brenda for us and that we'll catch them on the Transatlantic next year.

 

[minnieandmickey]

Hi there Cass.
Lovin the report. So glad she is doing great! Can't wait to see her with her Princesses though!

 

[MomsOf2boys]

I can't believe it is still cold down there.

I'm so glad you are having a great time. And let's face it, if we could all get away with showing our aggrevation while standing in yet another line we would probably have a meltdown too.

I love the pictures of Kira all bundled up in a blanket! All warm and snuggly!

 

[Scouter]

Glad to hear that it got warmer today.
And that Kira is eating and sleeping well too

Have a great time guys!

Oh, and Hi to Bernie and family, I hope they are enjoying their visit too.

 

[Dyerneeds]

cass, rob and kira are probably waiting for illuminations right about now.

 

[Timon]

Evening folks

Just got back from Epcot.

Here's some pics from yesterday at MGM

Meeting Buzz and Woody

Lunch at 50's PT

Meeting Frozone

Almost completely lost in Sully's arms

Sneaking a drink of daddy's milkshake

 

[Timon]

Well, we finally got some nice weather! It was hot all day. Not unbearably hot but a nice change from the past few days!

We spent the morning at Epcot, did a few rides stuff. We saw Daisy and Stitch right as soon as we got into the park. We ate lunch at Le Cellier and then we went back to the condo so Kira could nap. Her and I both got an hour's sleep.

Back to Epcot for a few more rides and then we met up with Brenda, Jason, Chelsea and Jason (DISers) for Fish and Chips. The food was fabulous and it was so great to see Brenda and Jason again and a wonderful surprise to meet Chelsey and Jason too!

We got to spend about an hour with them before Kira was getting a little jumpy and wanted to go and do something so we had to part ways with them.

We did a couple more rides before watching Illuminations.

It was a great day, fabulous weather and now I am totally pooped!

Should be able to update tomorrow night after Magic Kingdom

P.S. Mike and Robin, I had a strawberry smoothie tonight and was thinking of you guys
