Disney Bells and Pixie Dust! Our Practically Perfect Vacation!*Thanks for reading!

[Poohtigeey]

Loved the late night update Monica! Glad I was still up! Gotta love those two year old wardrobe changes!
Love the hats! Very cute - I like Grumpy best!
Sara

We got off easy with only one toddler wardrobe disaster during the trip!

My mom said we should have told him to act Grumpy rather than his big smile!

Happy Birthday late.
Don't say u wasted a lot of time, your at Disney take it all in.

Thanks Scott. You're right. It was a nice relaxing day. I'm just not used to not rushing around while we're there! And I didn't get to shop. (I like your new ticker.)

Monica, happy belated birthday!
I love the photos of Megan and Hunter trying on hats-especially the Goofy ones!

We have never been to WL and would love to see it on our trip. I thought I read there was a boat launch to MK because I considered making a meal reservation on one of our MK days. Is the bus a quicker route than the boats?

I love the last pic of Hunter in the hat. He was having a good time! I guess I was thinking of the boat when I briefly thought the monorail went there. It didn't even cross my mind. And we weren't the only ones on the MK bus.

What a nice surprise to find an update this morning!

There is a boat from WL to MK but maybe it is very slow. Probably would have been a pretty ride though.

I love Dave's shirt with the fire mickey head! I don't remember seeing that one when you posted the pics of the ones you made.

The hat pictures are adorable! I like the one with Hunter and the Stitch hat.

I don't know where you go to get the boat because we never saw a sign. I was just so worn out by this day that I was going on autopilot and not thinking straight. Oh well. We got there! I love Hunter's face in that picture!

Okay back to normal, I read the update and then I comment.....
First off, your pictures are always AWESOME, the one of Megan and her daddy on her first roller coaster

You better believe I yelled out "there is no monorail at the WL" as soon as I read that. LOL, I also knew that you knew that

I'm glad Hunter got to ride his AO, he was asking to ride that at the party.

When we stayed at WL I didn't even know that had a bus to MK, we rode the boat the entire time.

Can't wait to see princess pictures....

Thanks for the shoutout............ maybe one day I will finish

Glad to have you back to normal. Well, as normal as you get! Doesn't Meg look so tiny? I knew you'd catch my dumbness! Yes, but none of us would ride with him! I REALLY want to stay at WL someday.

You don't need to finish the report if you don't want to. Can you just post pics? PLEASE?

lol, I have no pics really from the last day of the cruise. I'll see what I can come up with. I didn't go to work today because I didn't sleep last night. I finally fell asleep at 4:00 and had to be at work at 6 I still only got about 5 hours.

You called into work because you were tired! I'll have to try that sometime! JK, Kimmy. There's nothing worse than not being able to fall asleep, and knowing you have to get up soon. Stress maybe? You take a relaxing day off and enjoy yourself. Try not to let your mind race when you go to bed. Maybe count Mickeys!!

Let’s go to Wilderness Lodge and check out the Christmas decorations, then we’ll hop on the monorail and ride over to Mk!

Oh Monica, Monica, Monica

You get points back though for not having to eat at Rainforest

Oh, and this is my 1000th post and I came here to be with friends for it

Hey! At least I had the guts to admit my dumbness on here!

Thanks for sharing your 1000th post with us! Only 1000? You need to talk more and catch up!

 

[kaysmommie]

Happy belated Birthday Monica

Great update and pics too. If WL had the monorail then I wouldn't have switched resorts. It' just gorgeous at Christmas time too. Looks like you had fun at MK, sorry about the Laugh floor comedy. Even my DH played along when he got picked in there . There was a lady in there who was just mortified when the she was on the screen and she wouldn't even talk .

 

[Poohtigeey]

Happy belated Birthday Monica

Thank you! I see you got fed up with MickeyPath ticker too! Tired of seeing that red x half the time! I think I would pick WL over AKL if I had to pick one place to stay. Someday! Maybe with the next good code!

Believe me, my job you have to have sleep for it. If not I'm in trouble. Yes, the stress is getting to me. It's the first time in my life I could not fall asleep, I mean EVER!

Just checking in on your sleep woes. Did you sleep better last night? If not I'd be happy to call you and sing you a lullaby! "Please Monica! Stop singing and I PROMISE I'll fall asleep!"

I seem to be losing readers. I better hurry this thing up and put everyone out of their misery! I'll try to post an update tonight. Have a good day!

 

[ChelleinNC]

You haven't lost me

Hey, you're up to 1008! I'm so glad that you found my report so we could "meet"! I love my readers/Dis friends. Totally worth doing a trip report for!

Still here... but hurry up will ya?
Sara

Um, YOU have no room to "hurry me up"! How's YOUR report coming along Sara?

We got in line and prepared ourselves for the 30 minute wait to meet the princesses. Dave decided to head to Main Street to see if he could get the video camera charged since the battery died. The little girl in front of us had on her Belle dress, and Megan kept pointing at it and asking for her dress. I really wish I had had it. It would have made the pictures so much better. Oh well. Live and learn. Well, 10 minutes later and it was our turn!! It does pay to go during a parade! I had a panic moment because Dave had the Photopass card and the pens. It didn't occur to me that they would have their own pens! Got a new Photopass card and we were ready to go! My only complaint is that I wanted Megan and Hunter's pictures seperate so the next princess kept coming to get Megan to speed along. So Hunter would be with one and Megan with another so I was torn between the two.

First up: Cinderella
This one gets the prize for the most unflattering princess picture ever!!

Belle's Photopass guy took some pretty bad pictures. When I checked them out online he had cut off Belle's head in some and others were uploaded upsidedown!

Last but not least, Aurora

After meeting the princesses we shopped a bit so Megan could spend her Disney dollars from Kimmy and Missa. She picked out the castle bank with Mickey and the gang. I also got some Christmas gifts for my neices. Dave returned with bad news. They can't charge the battery without our own charger. So not much video of Megan's special day. Time to head over to Chef Mickey's and leave the Magic Kingdom for the last time this trip.

Next up: Megan's special night and why I can't tell you if Chef Mickey's has good food!

 

[mom2mek]

Good-looking princesses! Even swoopy-banged Sleeping Beauty looks good! You just never know with those Disney casting people - sometimes they just get it wrong.

Great update Monica. I'm glad the wait was only 10 minutes! Glad Hunter didn't have a problem seeing all the ladies! He's a Ladies Man (I'm saying that with my best "ladies man" lisp)

This was your last day at the MK? Was the next day your last one or do you have more after that? I can't remember now. I know at some point you go back to the AK because you meet Michelle. Was that your last day?

Oooo... Chef Mickey's! Were they out of food or something?

great pics of the princesses. This is the 3rd report tonight with an update with the princesses.

great update.

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Love the princess pics Monica! I didn't know they had their own pens either - learn something new everyday here on the DIS!

Belle hugging Megan are my favorites I think.

Was Hunter OK with having his picture with the princesses - he sure looks like he's enjoying himself!

I can't believe your TR is nearing the end.

 

[ChelleinNC]

Megan looked so sweet with Cinderella Looks like she was having a pretty good birthday

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

LOVED this update. I think the pictures you posted are just beautiful. I love how unshy your 2 year old is! At least that Auroura is pretty the one in France not so much!
Sorry to hear about the video camera, I would have never realized to bring my own charger too

I'm glad, Megan picked something out she liked.

The Ladies Man! Yes, last day at MK, one more day left.

I always seem to be writing about the same thing as everyone else!

Each princess had a feather pen the same color as their dress.

Hunter loves the girls! Always has! On our last trip (he was almost 3) he was OBSESSED with Cinderella! He meets a girl wherever we go!

Thanks for being sad that me reports almost over!

She had a great birthday! How do I top a birthday at Disney?!

Megan's not shy! Too bad Hunter is!

Unfortunately, the power button was loose and switched on in Dave's FANNY PACK and ran the battery down.

Megan takes money from Hunter's bank and puts it in hers!
