Hi! Hunter did great. Our wireless internet is out for some unexplainable reason. So, I'll be back as soon as possible, but it could be a couple of days. Have I mentioned lately that I HATE COMPUTERS?!

Mine is always out too! We have the same "wonderful" provider!!!

Glad to hear Hunter did well. Looking forward to a copy of the video

Now I'm on the edge of my seat to find out where Dave's piercing is! Only one?

Photobucket will let you upload videos as long as they're under 5 minutes and under 100 megabytes. Usually they have to be pretty short to be under 100 MB. If they're longer than that, you're better off uploading them to youtube. You upload them the same way you do photos on photobucket, just click on the video tab instead of the images from my pc tab. It takes a long time to upload.

Dave has a nipple ring! Are you all surprised? It's true! It IS the quiet ones you have to worry about! I didn't watch. When they put is nipple in a CLAMP I had to leave the room! It was before we were married, on whim in Gatlinburg.

Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure I want to post my son's video on YouTube! I know there's probably not much difference than on here, but it doesn't feel right!

Loved the pic with Hunter & Megan holding Tink in there hands, that was just to cute!!!

oh, and Barbosa is the guy you're thinking of.

Also one of my favorite pics! Thanks for the info on Barbosa! Now I feel silly cause I should have known that! Dave and I just don't watch many movies these days, and it's a little much for Hunter, so I've only seen it once!

Loved all the pictures!! Poor Smee he must have felt left out.

Well, when I got to Staples to have the book assembled it was too thick so I was having to hurridly take out pictures of characters I thought we probably wouldn't see! I also didn't have the Mice because I read on here that you couldn't see them anymore!

Lord of the Rings (and the Star Wars movies) are tough for me too! I just try to think of the basic good vs. evil type things and can't get caught up in figuring out who is who! I just think going to the movies would lose its appeal to me if I had to take notes the whole time!
Sara

Yeah, as soon as Orlando Bloom came on screen with his hotness and his pointy ears, that was it for me!

Whew! I'm gone for two days and so much catching up to do here!

Captain Hook photopass pic with Hunter is great. I think Smee liked you also - notice his hand on you in the pic!

Samantha has the same croc story as Hunter and Abby. I *almost* went to the croc dark side on this most recent trip.

Hey Michelle! Missed ya! Can't wait to here all about your trip and AKL!

Yes, Smee and I had a "conversation" while Hunter played around with Captain Hook. It was fun. We had great character interactions this trip, and I haven't even gotten to the best one yet!

I thought for sure you already had a pair! I was uploading the pics of Hunter and Sam and it was really big, zoomed in on their Crocs. It was a cuter picture with Hunter is his red Mickey head Crocs and Sam in her pink!

Yeah - I am all caught up. Your have such beautiful children. Your pictures are Great!!! I cannot wait to hear more.

Hey! Missed ya around the boards! I hope you are feeling better! There's some yucky illness going around!

Mine is always out too! We have the same "wonderful" provider!!!

Glad to hear Hunter did well. Looking forward to a copy of the video

Well, I'm about to DUMP my wonderful provider! Not worth the money saved!

Maybe I'll upload the video, then PM it to those interested! It was so funny! My pictures aren't great because I was laughing so hard! It was a fundraiser for the youth group, but Hunter stole the show! I'll post the pics tonite, after I edit out the other boys.

I will miss you!

You're so sweet! It is mysteriously working today!

I wanna see! I wanna see! PM me!

And you inspired me... I did a little update.

Truckin along through Adventureland, it was time to redeem our FastPass for Jungle Cruise. When we got there, we only had 3 passes. We’re assuming that Dave left one sitting on top of the machine. We were just glad he hadn’t left our cards up there! I made sure we discussed it at the entrance of the line in hopes that the CM would have mercy on us, but no such luck. My mom said she’d sit out. We walked up, they stopped the standby line and let us on the waiting boat. We were the last ones on. I could feel the mean stares from the standby line burning the back of my head. HA HA suckers! Learn to use FP! Our guide should be on the real safari! He gave us lots of information on the animals. Then it was like he remembered where he was and would slip in the standard jokes. It was weird. Hunter liked it of course because it had animals. Megans just happy to ride a boat!

Sorry it's blurry, but I love this guy!

Someone was looking at my pictures and asked if these were real!

After the ride we locate my mom and I have an idea! I think its Dole Whip time! Up until this point I had pretty much made Megan stay awake because I didn’t want her to miss anything! (And the best Mommy award goes to…..Not Monica!) My mom decided to take Hunter into the Swiss Family Treehouse while we snagged us some yummy, pineappley goodness and Megan could take a nap in the shade of the treehouse. Everyone wins. Right? Well, apparently she wasn’t tired now! It was around 1:30 and I expected a long line, but there were only a couple of people there. I heard the man in front of me tell the CM, “I traveled all the way from California to get one of these”. I immediately scoped him out for a lime green Mickey head, but I didn’t see one. It just seemed like a very DIS thing to say! I got the Dole Whip float, Dave got the plain Dole Whip. We were Dole Whip virgins, but I had been reading about these things for months. We sat on the benches in front of the treehouse, ate my new favorite treat, and just enjoyed the moment. We were at Magic Kingdom with our kids, on a beautiful day enjoying ourselves immensely. It doesn’t get any better than this!

Since Aladdin’s Magic Carpets were closed, it was time to head to Frontierland. (We aren’t meant to ride this ride! It was broke down every time we tried to ride last trip, and they closed it just for the week we were there.) On our way we spotted Aladdin and Jasmine! That’s much better than flying in circles and getting spit on by fake camels! Aladdin and Jasmine were so cute together and made everyone feel special. My mom really liked how everyone at Disney called Megan princess, but it was especially sweet when Aladdin said it.

We headed into Frontierland to see if we had time to see Country Bears before the parade. People were already lining up so if we went into the show we wouldn’t be able to find a parade spot. Well, mom to the rescue again! She said she’d hold our spot while we took the kids to see Country Bears. She had seen it before and I think she was getting tired. We went into the holding room just in time, positioned ourselves in the middle on the far left so we could be up front and went in. I know this show is dated, but its cute. With that said, they need to change the jokes. They are so over the kids heads that the adults laugh, and the kids don’t. Hunter kept asking me why everyone was laughing. However, he was soon cracking up when the bear that sings, “Blood on the Saddle” came out. Halfway through the show Megan was fast asleep!

When we came out the parade route was pretty full, but we just hopped right into our spot. We had about 10 minutes until parade time. Dave went to get some refreshments and popcorn for Hunter. AWARD TIME! And the nice Mommy award goes to…. Not Monica! I woke Megan up! I wanted her to see the parade! She missed the FKAMGM (formerly known as MGM) parade with all of the characters, and I knew she would love this one. She stirred a bit, then I asked her if she wanted to put on her Snow White dress. That woke her up! She got that dress on and was ready to go! Dave was surprised when he came back and saw her awake and happy! The parade was cute as usual and Megan loved it just like I thought!

Megan liked these guys and pointed them out to us everytime she saw them the rest of the trip. They have statues and DTD and she went nuts over them!

My only Jiminy Cricket sighting.

Megan's obsession! (I don't get it!)

I love this float and my picture doesn't do it justice.

Next up: An uneasy moment and another empty restaurant!

 

[mom2mek]

WOW! Between the "quickie in the bedroom" and now Dave's nipple ring... hmmm, I'm learning a lot about Monica on this trip report!
Giddy up a oom boppa oom boppa mow mow!

How cute is this set of pictures? Wow! You mean to tell me those Jungle Cruise animals aren't real? Seriously? That is too funny (although Walt did originally want real animals I read somewhere)!

I was a Dole Whip virgin as well, but really enjoyed the Float version better than just the straight up ice cream.

Yay Mom for watching your spots Country Bear didn't get seen this time by us - I'll save it for next time, right?

Parade pics are great! What's not to love about the Beast? Megan has good taste - rough and tough on the outside, but on the inside he's just a big old softie with a good heart!

Can't wait for more.. will you be posting a picture of said nipple ring? I will make sure my children aren't around!

I have never been on CBJ. I was reading on another thread that it was the worst attraction at Disney so am hesitant to go... Maybe if I need a nap....lol
i had my first dole whip in July with my cousins. It was yummy... We shared it though b/c I have that bad stomach and did not want to get sick (TMI)...lol

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

That was great! I just love your pictures!

We skipped the Country Bears... and believe it or not, we skipped that parade too! Very un-disser-like of me, I know! But we wanted to ride HM and there was no line because eveyone was at the parade! We did see it from afar both days we were at the MK though... does that count?

And was the dole whip float as yummy as everyone says??? Nebo likes his with a little somethin' extra in there if ya kwim!

 

[Pakey]

Hey Monica, Megan is way too cute on this day. First the Minnie outfit and now the Snow White dress. Oh, to have a daughter. Not that I don't love all of the boys in my life but I just don't think I could get my grandson to put on a princess dress.

I love Jungle Cruise too. It's one of the classics that I remember from my childhood. We did the KTTK tour on this trip and rode this ride. My TR will have one little secret about it but I have to say that it's pretty weird to ride on it without a child driving the boat and the outrageously lame jokes told by the guide.

And I missed my Dole Whip this trip because none of the rest of the group wanted to go over there. I hope you had enough for me too!!!

Glad your internet is up today!

 

[MickeyCrazedMom]

All caught up and it is all great! Have to add on to the croc story. I think they are hideous, but have a pair and love them. Got Mr Man a pair last year and he wore them all summer and at Disney. He still asks me every morning if he can wear them to school. Ummm...maybe when it's not 18 degrees out! I too think they are too expensive for a 4 year old, but Mr Man wears a XX Wide so all of his shoes are at least $40!!! He was excited to have shoes like everyone else for a change!!

I would have woke my kids up for the MK parade too. I think it is my favorite attraction of all!!!

All right Sara!

Yes, but is it normal for a 2 yr old girl to ONLY like Beast and talk about him ALL DAY LONG?! She's a unique one that's for sure!

Sorry. Dave didn't take his shirt off at Disney!

It's just VERY dated, but it's still fun for kids. We would skip it if they weren't with us. Yes, its alot of citrus!

That was great! I just love your pictures!

Actually, it seems like alot of DISers skip the parade. You're either parade people of not. We're parade people! Plus we don't go enough for them to get boring!

Obviously I like dressing up my girl. It certainly wasn't the two year olds idea to bring along her princess dresses!

Pakey, next trip you need to travel with some DISers instead of those party poopers! JK! Looks like a fun group! I'll be staying at the Poly next time so I can have access to the Dole Whip machine!

Hunter wears his Crocs around the house all the time! These were considered one of his souvenirs.

Oh good, I'm not the only one who'd wake there kids up. Unfortunately, this wasn't my worst Mommy moment on this trip!

Never would have guessed this! Does he still wear it? And you didn't get a matching one??

Hey Michelle! Missed ya! Can't wait to here all about your trip and AKL!

I thought for sure you already had a pair! I was uploading the pics of Hunter and Sam and it was really big, zoomed in on their Crocs. It was a cuter picture with Hunter is his red Mickey head Crocs and Sam in her pink!

Thanks! I hope to start my little trip report later in the week.

I do have crocs but they are the flip-flop kind. I thought it would be too cold for them on this most recent trip (it wasn't) and almost bought a pair of the ugly(er) ones.

Maybe I'll upload the video, then PM it to those interested! It was so funny! My pictures aren't great because I was laughing so hard! It was a fundraiser for the youth group, but Hunter stole the show! I'll post the pics tonite, after I edit out the other boys.

I want to see!!


Great update! Glad you were able to see the parade and Megan looked wide awake. Love the pic of her in the snow white dress. Maybe Hunter can apply for the College Program and be one of the Jungle Cruise skippers!

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

What a lovely little update! In between my cat drama, it made me laugh... alot.
I missed the nipple ring update!?! I'm kinda impressed... I think

I'm so happy, you finally got a Dole Whip! So yummy!! I want one right now!

For todays favorite pic, I pick the one of Megan sittin on her daddys lap, given her best "CHESSE"!!

 

[scottny]

I saw Jiminy twice on my trip and both times were for autographs. Only went to him once.

How is poor kitty?

Dave would not be happy if he knew we were discussing his nipple ring!

Ok! I'll meet you at Disney tommorrow morning!

Hey Scott! Boy I'm struggling trying to keep up with your report! I'm turning into a lurker over there! You'll be finished before me!

Did you get to see Marie kitty? She was on my list too.

The makes me laugh award goes to: Monica!

Thanks! Just wait til our Epcot day. I get the worst Disney mom award! I turn into one of THOSE parents that you see at Disney!

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

How is poor kitty?

Dave would not be happy if he knew we were discussing his nipple ring!

Ok! I'll meet you at Disney tommorrow morning!

Well, I kinda let him take care of it himself..... hopefully he will be okay. I talked to my mom and she asked me why I just didn't wet him down. I'm not really sure why I felt the need to "wash" him. I guess hosing him down would have worked too
My mom always knows what to do. This is why I don't have any children.

Sorry for the OT..... Tomorrow at Disney If I fly SW it will only be $104.00!!!

BTW, there was NO Marie Kitty for me

 

[scottny]

Hey Scott! Boy I'm struggling trying to keep up with your report! I'm turning into a lurker over there! You'll be finished before me!

I guess I should I slow down. I still have about 80 more installments to do.

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

I would just like to tell you, my internet was down almost all evening!
