There used to be more in the very first post, but I took it out. Too much to scroll through. 
I hope we get a TR for this one too!I loved your ending (though, I didn't love that it happened). I may have gotten a bit choked up while you and Andrew were standing at the top of the train station. And Blake's song at the end was quite fitting.
My Andrew and I sing that song all the time! It's one of our favorites. The other day I was driving during rush hour and thought of how the guy talks about the Rat Race and totally sang Big Beautiful Tomorrow ALL the way to where I was going. LOL
Yay for starting your new year!!!
Love that you were singing it in the car in traffic. I've always found it funny how the boys will bring up that show at such odd times. I get the lines about "Don't interrupt while Sarah's interrupting" and "Well ovens just don't clean themselves, ya know" from them way too much! If we say it looks like rain, Andy-Roo will starting talking about his lumbago not acting up! 
I really think those two know every word now. 
Yay for another trip.
The boys do look so much more grown up. Time goes by far too quickly.
I know you get to go fairly often so don't have to cram loads in each time but do you find the kids are better behaved / do better in the parks if you kind of let them decide where you're going, what to go on or do, go at their pace, etc??? I am hoping for next years trip to be mostly about the girls, sticking more with Disney and not doing much offsite so could do with some tips on how to not have meltdowns!!
We will have a double stroller just in case and I would like to take breaks too so that we can have some later nights. Though if my eldest DD is how she is now, we will constantly be on the carousel and watching 'castle party' as she calls it!
Maybe sometimes anyway.

He's definitely the more challenging child right now!
Thanks so much for your input and advice. I think us staying calm will be the most important thing!! Remembering to keep them hydrated too.
I'm completely with you on manners, etc. It is not difficult to say please or thank you, excuse me, can I have rather than I want, etc (adults included!). My whole family is going (parents, siblings, nieces) and luckily they are all on the kids about being polite so at least we aren't with anyone that will just give in to them or with other kids that have no manners. My sister is as strict on her daughter (and will be on the 2nd who is due soon) as we are with ours so fingers crossed they will mostly be ok.
I think I'll just hope for no meltdowns just as we get to the front of a 30/45 minute queue for princesses or fairies or the fab 5!!
For distracting them in queues, have you ever taken bubbles? I know this would entertain my girls but worry they would annoy other people?
They do get so crazy at WDW though! I never thought yours' would have such issues, of course, but it is important. If you think a meltdown is unacceptable, you might be able to keep it in check a little better? I have no idea what I'm talking about. They'll do great! Using line time for a packed snack works for us, too. You were there on the 23rd? No fair not warning someone cuz we were there at the same time and could have had a dis meetI bought my AP and after some bad moments during the trip I am not sure when or if I will be using it again.
) You've gotta go back to give us another chance to meet up!
) Because of that, I only wanted one night, but nothing is working out. None of the values are available that night, and only CSR (We were just there, btw.) is coming up for mods. This is with AP/resident rates. 
I could get All Star Sports or Movies for just one night at the regular rate, but I'm not sure about those two. Has either had any work done recently..? I should look that up. We're going to end up doing a day trip or skipping the parks for something else!! 
Just a thought on your resorts. Maybe you can book the two nights at Pop, then call and cancel one night? Or else maybe you can just call and get the single night at Pop? I know we've had this issue before, but I don't remember how we dealt with it. It seems like sometimes they can pull up more options when calling, though.
Oooohhh, a royal room at POR? That should be cool!
I don't know why I bother to make plans and this is kinda why I don't share a lot of what we might do. We're just no good at keeping them! 
I was worried these might be too girly, but they look like a lot of fun. I can't wait! That never would've worked with Andrew, but I loved how cute Blake was today. That little hand against his ear, he even claimed to hear it twice. He never did figure out what it was! I feel like a mean mommy, but it made our chore much more enjoyable for both of us!
Do you know where you want to stay? I'm super excited of these rooms at POR. They're just too cute and I love that resort! When we left last visit, I told John we could never go back. I didn't want to spoil my love for it, like the trouble at CBR! I hope this stay is just as wonderful. (Minus the expired candy and Blake injury anyway!) 
Disney is annoying me right now!!
I was hoping to plan an overnight visit during Andrew's spring break, but the resorts will not agree with me! I promised to be a little "conservative" about the parks this year, as John doesn't want to feel like Disney is ruling our lives. (When did Disney rule our lives?
If I add one extra night, Pop is suddenly available. Why can't I have it for just one of those nights?
I'm done whining now.
In happier news.. 97 Days until the big birthday trip 2012! We'll be at POR in a royal room and the boys can't wait! (Neither can I!)
The big question.. Do I order a cake this year?
The smaller size folder would be easier to hold onto anyway!
