Disboutiquers ... IRL

[Tracie]

I think the pictures turned out great I really like the first one. I don't think your clothes areawful either.

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.

She loves that one, so we definitely still have it!

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

----------------------------

I love all of your Dismeet pictures! I think you caught Sawyer right before T gave him some pretzel goldfish crackers. He was starting to lose it and she saved the day!

I felt so bad that I didn't get to meet Steph on Monday morning. I was feeling pretty sick that night after the Dismeet. I was starting to think that one of you poisoned me!

I love Lin and Dallas' matching Sorcerer's apprentice shirts! Oh, there's yours! I love it, too!

I'm so glad you thought the portions were too small at Prime Time Cafe! I got the meatloaf and left hungry.

Oh my gosh, Lin and Dallas sleeping on the curb!!

I really, really, really don't like the block party "parade".

I'm with you on not planning 6 months ahead of time where you want to eat!

Wow! Lin really does look great with his new haircut! It makes him look younger! Very handsome!

I'd say the most comments I've ever got on our customs were at Downtown Disney. You're right, there aren't many costumes down there!

Gloria looks adorable in the window! But, Dallas looks even cuter!

I just love those matching vacation people shirts! I also like how you don't match the color of the shirts, but the designs all go together.

Oh my gosh, we have "kids in the zero" pictures just like yours. Too funny!

The mini golf looks like fun!

I sort of remember Boardwalk and Baseball! I know we went there.

Where did you grow up in Ohio. Henry grew up in Fremont, which is near Sandusky. His grandma used to take him to Sea World every year.

I'm with Dallas on the sharks. He's a smart boy, it's just not natural to have sharks swimming over your head!

What do you mean you've probably only touched 2 animals in your life? Do you mean total, or 2 animal species? Are you saying you've never pet a dog??

It's awesome that you got to pet a penguin!!

I didn't realize puffins were so small!

Uh-oh! Now you're going to have to get Dallas a penguin!

I LOVE that picture of Dallas and his penguins. He's such a great kid!

I'm loving Dallas' super-cool poses at the lego store!

I let Tessa get a tube full of sugar after she didn't seem interested in getting the special made candy. She loved her colored sugar tube!

I love your pictures!

Another great trip report Jessica! Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

Holy crap! I have to comment on your comment later!

So cute!!!! What a great day for Dallas!

Thanks! I love it when he is in bed with all his penguins. He has a ton here at home.

OK now I definitely want to do a photo session. When am I going to have time to do that on a 4 night trip?????

Gotta find the time!

The guy was really nice too and told me when my hair was flipping all over the place. He also took several of each shot. I couldn't really tell in photobucket which ones I was grabbing so I do have one of us by the tree without my hair sticking straight up! He said he had 2 daughters and knew they would want to know if their hair did that!

Does he have this book?
http://www.amazon.com/Penguin-Osber...r_1_31?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235363431&sr=1-31

It is really cute and helps to make the penguin don't make good pets point.

My youngest, the tomboy, has a soft spot for penguins too. She got one at the aquarium last year and was playing with it in the car one day and says to me "Mommy, you know that place where penguins keep their eggs?" I said "a nest?" and she say "Mommy, (big sigh......) penguins don't have nests!". I felt so stupid. I had to look up on the internet about brood pouches when I got home. Who knew? I guess my 5 year old. She just didn't know what they were called. I guess her stuffed penguin has a one. I bought her a puffin in Norway (Epcot) last May. She would love Sea World!

Awwww loved your update and your TR. Sorry you were sick on your trip. I think the GF family pics looked great!

We don't have that book. I'll have to look for it or order it next time I order from amazon. I am sure I could find $10 to spend to get free shipping!

Dallas asked for the Puffin from Norway and I probably would have gotten it for him but it was after all of us at the meet rode the ride and I didn't want to hold anyone up. I figured we would go back at some point but we never did.

The only thing I ended up buying besides the penguin from Sea World was a toy gun (ICK) from the outlet for $4. He has asked for it for over 2 years now and I always told him he had to be 6. What was I thinking! I should have said 12!

Awwww loved your update and your TR. Sorry you were sick on your trip. I think the GF family pics looked great!

Thanks! I enjoyed writing it. Being sick wasn't that bad but we did skip parks alot of days because I just didn't feel like going. We go enough that I am sure the same stuff will be there next time!

I loved the photopass pics! Its great that you have them of all of you! You all looked fine in what you were wearing. I know what you mean about being tired and done with the vacation at the end! I felt like that when we went in June 2007. It was fun and all but I was ready to get home. We ran like crazy all week! Thanks for the great trip report...it was so much fun meeting! Love your siggy pic too!

 

[karebear1]

Jessica- I Love your report! You got some really great pics too! I don't think I knew that our meet was at the beginning of your tripo though... lucky duck! You got to stay there after we all left!

Yes, we had the week ahead of us which was nice. If only I were staying at the Yacht and Beach Club like others!

I am really happy that we all got to meet up!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

That was a great trip report. Wow, you did so much stuff and I must say that everyone looks tired in some of the photos, but a good tired. Sorry about the food not being so good and you not getting enough at Prime Time. I love the pictures of the flamigos coming around at sea world.

Do they charge for the photoshoot now? We had ours done years ago at the GF and it was free. We also had ours at AK last year and they do such a good job.

Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

Yes, they do charge now. I had read about it when it was free a while back but we never actually did it. It was $25 if you buy photopass or $75 if you don't.

I am loving your trip reports, and love that you have matching shirts for everyone. It's amazing that Lin and Dallas can sleep just about anywhere...my dh can't fall asleep unless he is in a bed!

Was the photoshoot at Polynesian, or at Grand Floridian? We are thinking about doing one when we are there in August...

Can't wait to read more!

I cannot fall asleep anywhere but bed either! I don't know how they do it!

The photoshoot was at the Grand Floridian. The Poly has a tree with a heart on it that I see in photoshoot pictures. I really wish the Grand did too. I enjoyed doing it at the Grand but will do some place different next time just because. Dallas was telling me this morning that he had fun having his picture taken. He enjoyed going all around the place. I guess he thought (and DH did too) that we were just going to go into a room or something. Makes sense I guess.

Where would you suggest that we go for Ash's bday photo shoot??? How far in advance did you book it? Where do you call??? I need info woman!!!!

I'll find the phone # for you. I didn't really know who to call but found a # on the dis (which was for the GF). Maybe they can hook you up with the other #'s. They now do it at the Poly, Grand, Beach and Wilderness Lodge. Maybe there was another. I think the Beach sounds like the funnest but if you do the Poly or the Grand you can get the Castle in the background.

I originally called that friday we left and booked for wednesday but called tuesday to cancel and they had some openings that afternoon so rebooked for then. So not much notice at all. I think you can book 30 days out.

I found this page with some information on disney photo sessions on http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/digital-photos.htm

Private Sessions

Additionally, you can schedule a 30 minute one-on-one session with a PhotoPass Photographer at the Beach Club, Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa Animal Kingdom Lodge, or the Polynesian Resort.

The sessions can be booked up to 30 days prior to arrival. The number to call is: 407-934-4004.​

Hopefully this is the right info...I plan to schedule one for our trip either at the Grand Floridian or Polynesian.
