Disboutiquers ... IRL

[jessica52877]

Hmm, I better not get behind in my own trip report again!

Love all your photos!!!!


Such a cute outfit!!!!

That is SO cool!!!!!

I know what you mean (not that my stuff looks anything like your beautiful creations!). The most comments I've ever had on something was the day it rained and I put a ziplock bag on my camera. I must have had at least 30 people tell me what a great idea it was. I had to tell them I saw it online.

What a great idea for the camera! I never thought of that!

Great report... subbing. I would like to see how things shape up for the Disboutiquers (sp).

Keep watching! We had a bunch of fun!

Hi Jessica...here I am! I am going to go back and catch up now!!!

Glad to see you made it over!

great trip report loving all the pics

I just kept snapping and snapping!

Great start Jessica! It looks like you had a lot o fun at your meet! I can't believe you had 31 people at ESPN!

Nachos sound yummy right about now.

I know, 31 people at ESPN was a ton and it went quite smooth!

Jessica,
I'm so enjoying reading your trip report. It's so much fun to see all of the pics. I had such a great time getting to meet everyone.

I was really glad you made it!

How thankful I am that you took lots of pictures. I am not a good picture-rememberer!

And you are very sweet to say whatever nice thing you said about Megan: much nicer than the "annoying chatterbox" I called her on the ride home Monday!

I wondered why you all took the boat. It looked like you had fun anyway!

Well, I do usually think of it as annoying chatter when it is Dallas doing it!

Hey Jessica....love your TR so far!!!!! Love all the pictures too...keep um coming!!! Looking forward to more!

Thanks! Hopefully I'll update tonight. I think I have atleast another day in photobucket already.

Great report Jessica! Love all the pics! Alll the kids look like they have been friends forever.

The kids really were amazing! I think the biggest fight was between Luke and Dallas and it was over before I knew it happened! Funny enough, if I was guessing, I would bet that Dallas was fighting for Luke's attention, not Tessa's!

Oh....my.....hmmm...very interesting outfits indeed.

You all squeezed into the same doom buggy? I wish you would have got a picture of that one!!

Sawyer is wearing those same ratatouille pajamas right now!!

I really get a kick out of the fact that you take pictures of your parking spot. I guess that makes it easier to remember where you parked though!

Wow, look at my lumpy pockets! I didn't carry a purse on this trip, so I had my phone, credit card, id, and everything in my pockets.

Our mom is the sweetest!

Look at how cute all of the kids are!!

I love the picture of Luke and Dallas standing with their arms crossed. They're such handome little guys!

I love all of your pictures! It was so funny to see Kathy's husband try to wrangle all of those cameras for us!! We should have taken a picture of him!

It was amazing that we got tables for all 31 of us so fast!



We took the boat so T would sit down and stop trying to carry Lily all over the place! She was worrying us!

Oh, we should have got a picture of Kathy's husband! That was the best!

My pockets were filled with junk too! I couldn't believe how much I could shove in a pocket!

You guys all look like you had a really great time!!!
I love scenery pictures!!
I have more to say but I am tired so I will return tomorrow rested and refreshed and ready to comment!

Get some rest! Looks like you had a couple of fun days with the kids!

Great start! Geesh, I hate my picture taken!

The kids all got along like they have known each other forever! Not a shy one in the bunch!

I chuckled when you said that you got Dallas a chicken nugget happy meal and a hamburger too. That is always Leighanna's request!

Of course she usually only eats 2 nuggets and the hambuger only, no bun. So I usually eat the leftovers! Which brings me back to saying "I hate my picture taken!"

Tom, you look great in pictures! Especially since I was just snapping, no posing! Dallas usually atleast eats all his meal so that is one reason I was pretty mad! I do usually split the burger with him but lately he tells me wants his own, then of course only 3 nuggets get eaten.

Hi Jessica! It so neat to hear what everyone else did and see all of your pics. I really enjoyed chatting with you and the other dissers! Dallas is such a sweet boy! I love all of your pics of everyone...and the kids were fast friends! Great shots of them all enjoying their time. I wish I would have gotten to ride Maelstrom with all of you.

I think Kristine has a great picture of most of us on Maelstrom. If only she would hurry up her TR!

It looks like you all had a fabulous time at the meet! I LOVE all the pictures!

It really was fabulous! Going into it I thought it would be fun, but not nearly as much fun as I had!

It is so much fun to read the trip reports and see the wonderful pictures. Taking a picture of the parking spot is brilliant.

The kids are all so cute and once again, putting faces with names is so nice.

Keep up the great TR.

I started taking a picture of the parking spot last trip. Oddly enough, since I started we have never once tried to think about where we parked nor have we needed to because we have always just been in an easy to know place. Atleast it gives me another picture to scrapbook (someday )

PS- don't forget you are *required* to scan that indiana jones pin that Dallas traded/stole. I NEED to make that for our trip in Sept.

Oh, I'll get on that. I saw it the other day. Everything is thrown in th entryway and kitchen. We have Jeanne to thank for the pin, or maybe we should thank Luke, or then again Sawyer!

First of all I am stealing soooo many of your pictures

I have no idea why the boys were standing like this.

Okay, I'm messing up my quotes here, so I'll have to go back...the boys are standing like that because they are so cool! Luke wanted me to run off and buy him sunglasses when he saw Dallas'

PS- don't forget you are *required* to scan that indiana jones pin that Dallas traded/stole. I NEED to make that for our trip in Sept.

He did NOT steal it. Luke was very excited to GIVE it to him. And while we are on the subject of pin trading, Heather, have Tessa hold onto the Jasmine one Jayden traded her. Mike looked it up in his book and said it was valuable. Not sure I actually believe him, and by valuable he means worth slightly more than we paid for it, but she did get it in Disneyland several years ago, so maybe it is rare by now.

I am sure the people in the shop were happy once we were out of there. The kids were having quite a fun time with the helmets, swords and sheilds.

Especially that really large kid on the left in a blue shirt...

 

[lovesdumbo]

What a great idea for the camera! I never thought of that!

It is a great idea but not mine. I found it on a site by a diser:

I thought it was quite cute! I wish I had gotten him in the picture better. I was just snapping away.

Well, I'll give you credit still!

Catching up on everybody's TR...

I know I had lots to say...but it just really is neat all you guys got to meet! And it all seems like you had been together IRL forever!

Glad the DH's did okay...mine wouldn't have...he does not do well in groups of people he doesn't know.

Cool your shirts got noticed...they should have...they are sooo cool!

Lin is normally pretty good with other husbands. It is so seldom that he has to be with any that I expect him to be good. But this time he really enjoyed talking with them, so that was good!

I know, I know! Working on it!

 

[jessica52877]

Okay, so where was I? Oh, yes. We had just tried for a group picture at ESPN. I really hope that someone has a better one than me! After that we headed outside. BTW, the kids behaved really well at dinner, especially to have so many of them and have them all together at a few different tables more or less.

We were just hanging out talking, the kids were playing and I was snapping pictures! I love my little camera that fits in my pocket. Definately not as good of pictures, but atleast there are pictures!

Dallas was fading fast and needed a quick little nap to make it through the evening. I don't think it lasted longer then 5 minutes, but good enough. And, why, yes, Lin was asleep. He can sleep anywhere!

I gotta say, I love taking Kristine's picture! She happily smiles and always looks good!

A picture to document where we ate.

The kids played duck, duck, goose all night long. I also heard versions of chocolate milk, chocolate milk, strawberry milk and there was one more that I can't remember now. I most impressed that Lily, well both Lily's knew how to do this. Dallas would have never known how at 3 and 4. Is Little 4? I know, I asked but now I can't remember. I don't think quite yet.

Jayden by far was the most patient best kid there! She was so good with Little and played with her constantly!

I just love this one of Lily eating!

 

[jessica52877]

We headed back to Epcot with a bathroom stop along the way. At this point Heather called Teresa and passed her around. It was really nice to get to talk with her and hear how sweet she really is! Hi Teresa! Isn't there a darn smilie waving?

We all decided to stop and view Illuminations from the bridge and plopped down on the ground!

Look at how cute Cathy's capri's are!

The men went and got some coffee and water for everyone and then the show started a bit after.

I love how Luke and Lily are both really into watching it!

Which reminds me! I just figured out I never edited or cropped any photos! Hopefully some of them will look better after I do that!

Afterwards we all went more or less our different directions slowly. It was nice to be able to walk out with Jeanne and Tifani and get a few extra talking minutes in! By the time we were at the front Lily was out!

Don't worry, she was perfectly comfortable!

What a fun day we all had! Some had planned on DHS in the morning and we figured we would run into them there. But some were leaving in the morning.

 

[jessica52877]

ACK! I just did pretty much the whole next day with lots of writing and it just went POOF into thin air! I think I'll scream now!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

This is why I now write TRs in Word and then cut and paste them on here

LOVE the pic of Lin and Dallas sleeping. Totally missed that while I was gabbing with everyone!

BTW, for inquired minds who may be wondering by those pictures...I am not pregnant...just fat I'm definately looking pregnant in the ones when I'm chatting with Cindee and Morgan!

 

[jessica52877]

Oh please! You don't even look pregnant!

It was a super quick nap, too much going on around them.

I usually type it then copy and paste, I went to use a smilie and somehow it clicked all my words and then poofed them, but inserted the smilie. How nice!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Aisling asked about all the kids and what their names are...she said WOW, those kids all have such cool names!

 

[jham]

Fun update! Thanks for all the photos of my kids! I was going to start begging to see if anyone had one of Seth and Gavin...in fact, I'll still beg, anyone else have any? Jayden loves to take care of little kids. She's great with her little siblings. Mike and Tom? Did they speak to each other or just stand there with folded arms? I feel like I missed a lot going on around me. Hmmm....I wonder why... I did see Dallas and Lin napping though. Lily has been obsessed with Duck Duck Goose for quite a while now. I don't know why I love the lollipop pictures! If you go to a candy store, take T with you!

 

[jessica52877]

I'll edit some of the photos for you of your kids Jeanne and repost them. I love the one of Jayden holding Little watching the fireworks. I wish my camera took better night time pictures.

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Folded arms?...... And that look on my face?!?

I don't know if I talked to Mike or not?!?

Great pics except the one with me in it!

So, got those and then told Lin to look for these little plastic mickey people. I had seen them in a room window on my walk to buy chocolate milk earlier this morning and they were so cute. Well, we found them.

They are called Vinylmation and I am only person in the world who can choose the most expensive item to fall in love with. They were $10 each, not too bad, but it was all a big game you see. You do not know which one you will get, there are 11 in all I think and then a mystery one. So, knowing me I would get the super ugly snow white's apple one and then I would have to buy another. And well, some were okay, some were super cute and some were to die for. I think Dallas wanted the monorail one. So, of course, remember, the game , you can buy a whole box and be guaranteed 2 complete sets and then 1 mystery one. And the lady gave us the whole ebay spiel about selling them. Lin fell for that because we used to pay for most of our disney trip by buying stuff and then selling it on ebay! Of course times are bad now and disney prices jut went too high, so we can't do that anymore. But Lin had a and decided we would just sell the others so get the set!

Dallas wanted to open one, so we did. I quickly decided we better buy an extra because he was having fun with it and I was afraid he would either lose it or ding it up (because other kids were coming) and didn't want the "set" ruined. So Lin ran back in and got another, Kermit this time!

Okay, I forgot to comment on this! Are you saying you bought the whole set? I think I know someone who may want to buy some more... I bought 2 and my sister gave me one. We got the monorail, figment, and yes, the creepy apple one. I was like "what is this bloody slime Mickey?" Seth said "I think it's the poison apple" and I doubted him. My sister wants the yeti one sooooooooooo bad!

Aisling saw Jessica's picture last night and said "Why didn't you get me one of those" My response...because you can't pick which one you get. You could have gotten the creepy poisoned apple". Her reponse. I don't care...they are cute. I spent $25 on a Cindy outfit for her AG doll and she would have been happy with the creepy apple one???

(Don't ask Jessica the total for buying the whole set I will say it's more than Stacy and I charged to the room for 4 days!!!!)

 

[jham]

Oh, I know how much she paid! Don't ask me how...not like I considered it or anything good thing I couldn't afford it.
