That is so great you are leaving a day early. I really got the disney bug,and if I could go I would.

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

It's so great that you get to go a day earlier!!! YAY!!!

Your boys look so cute!

Have you been to WL before? I can't wait to see pics

Thanks We have not been to WL before, so we are very excited!! I will bring back tons of pics

Hey Farrah! I just found your pre-trip and spent a good part of the morning catching up. I love the new hair! I used to have mine just like yours, with lots of blond and red highlights but now it's just my natural color since it's so much easier to keep up with. It looks awesome on you though! And Dane's tattoos are absolutely awesome. The portraits came out amazing! I love tattoos and those look great... I've heard the ribs are THE most painful spot though. More power to Dane for being able to sit through all that
Oh and the boys are adorable! I love how they're little rock stars in the making

Congratulations on the trip! I was so upset for you guys when I read that the trip was canceled. Our trip for next summer was canceled a few months back but we're back on track again, and I'm glad to see you guys are too. And it all worked out great; the Wilderness Lodge is GORGEOUS! I'm with you on the flying... I hate it. We drive down from NYC every summer and it takes forever but it's so much easier and believe it or not, less stressful. Plus who doesn't love a road trip?! Have fun planning and keep us updated.

Lots of luck with the adoption If you don't mind me asking, how many foster kids do you have? That's such a great thing to do

WELCOME
Thanks fro reading!! We were so sad when we had to cancel our trip but it did work out in the long run.
Thanks for the compliments on danes Tatts...He LOVES them! I have not a one- weird huh? The portraits are my favorite hands down...for obvious reasons.
We have never stepped foot in WL so I just know I will be blown away.
Thanks again for reading..hope you stick around!

Thats what my family & my aunts family are doing we are riding together in my SUV, We are getting a new Cargo Carriers Bag for the top of our suv for the luggage so we will have lots of room inside the suv.. We used to have one but its so old now so we price them at walmart for only $26.00 what you do is put each luggage in a garbage bag tie it up, then put it in the cargo carrier just in case it rains so your bag don't get wet .. it works !!

you guys should try it !!

we are doing it to save money also paying out $26 for a new bag to save over $150 in gas is great....

I do have a luggage rack on top of my town and country- we would just have to put a tarp over the luggage or something incase it rains. Dane still thinks we will be too cramped but we are driving threw the night so the kids will all be sleeping anyway-- ohwell we will see.

Oh we are also going a day early we are leaving on Aug 29 but we are staying that night off disney on 192 for only $37 at a cute hotel the same one we stayed at last year

Im happy for you- a day early is great isnt it. No thanks on the offsite room though. I would rather spend teh extra and be onsite- Just MHO

That is cool about leaving early!!

The pic of Heath and Javen pooped out from the parks are so cute!!

Thanks Heather!!

Hey girlie! I told Matt we may want to consider riding together, since you have luggage racks! He is worried about our little car sickess issue! LOL!!!! Not literally throwing up, but we both get nauseated and headaches when we ride in the back of a vehicle, but I'm thinking you have bucket seats in the middle, right? (WOW! That is some freight train sentence I hve going there!)

We'll we are considering it!

Sweet- Ill keep intouch with ya regarding this- I would love for you guys to ride with us. Do you think Isabelle would be okay being in the back with the 2 boys??

He lives on Hickory Hill Road in West Chester PA. Which is not far from where I live now. We have family that live near him. But he when he was younger he lived in Delaware County Pa.

That is so great you are leaving a day early. I really got the disney bug,and if I could go I would.

How cool is that!
I wish you were going....R U planning anything for next year??

Hi, just had to say I've been a lurker on your trip report from last year and your Pre-trip this year! Love them both and what a great family you have!

Just had to comment along with everyone else - LOVE your hair! I have dark black hair and it doesn't matter what color I hi-light it to it always gets brassy and fades super fast! So basically I'm jealous of your new do!

Can't wait to keep reading more!

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

HI and welcome!! I cant belive you have been reading since my last years TR and never posted. I promise I dont bite.....hard Nor do any of my dis friends. PROMISE
Thank you for the hair compliments.....Honestly Mine do get brassy too but I just go in and have her redo them and lighten them up a little more...so far no damage, but Im sure it wont be long till my hair starts breaking off..My hair stylist/friend actually told me when I did this that I NEED to stick with something cause this going back and forth from blonde to brown is going to make it all fall out---THEN she showed me hers where she had colored it so much that it was breaking at the roots I had no idea cause she had covered it up with more hair but IT DEFINITLY freaked me out LOL I think I will stick with this now

Please please feel free to post anytime- I love having Lurkers come outta the closet!

If there are any other Lurkers COME ON!! Im nice I swear!

You will be! We've never gotten to stay there since we rent homes for our dog (yes, the dog comes on vacation with us ) but we visit on each trip and it's absolutely amazing. The lobby itself is huge and will blow you guys away... and make sure to catch he geyser! It's a cool little touch out by the pool. You plans sound great

 

[jojo0612]

Since you gave me such a warm welcome, I won't be shy and post more! You might get sick of my comments....LOL.

Will your family be going to MNSSHP this year? Loved, Loved, loved the costumes last year! We were there the same time as you last year, that is what caught my eye reading last year's reports!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

YAY! for the extra day!

That picture is precious!

Your itinerary looks great! Did you get ADRs for Planet Hollywood, or are you just hoping for the best once you get there?

YAY- Im glad you will post more...I would never get sick of your comments!
We opted to skip MNSSHP this year...been there done that kinda thing. PLUS with the extra expense of upgrading to a deluxe resort put us on a TIGHT budget.
It was fun tho--anyone thinking of doing MNSSHP ~DO IT! Atleast once

It is on the dining plan. But, last year when I went there, people were managing to get in without reservations. I'm pretty sure they had to wait a long time, though. Just make sure you find something to do for probably about an hour while you wait.

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

shut the front door!! I didnt know it was on the DP! Daaang, I better call and make a ressie I think. Thanks for the tip Tatt!

It's walkup only....

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

Oh yall are confusing me!! What to do- what to do!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

I always made ADRs. When did they change it?

 

[pamouselover]

I dont think it is worth it even with the credit. We were given that last year with our package. That will only pay for one meal dear. They are over high burger joint.

Dane said he would rather eat at Rainforest cafe In DTD that day so looks like we will be switching anyway. I havent ate at PH since 2001, so I have no idea how good/bad it is.

Should I make ressie for RFC or do they even accept them?
