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

You guys all look great in that first photopass picture.

Love the pics of Megan with the powdered donut face and the autograph book - very cute! Does she have her ears pierced or were those stickers in the first picture?

We've never seen the Pocahontas show - was that a real racoon?

Great update as usual!

She wore stick on earings. I gave up by the third day though. She kept taking them off and handing them to me!

Yes Michelle, they used REAL animals! That's a porcupine in front of the little tree too. You should see it at least once. The kids get to sit in the front rows. There are lots of animals.

Thank you! Yay on the new ticker! What are your plans?

That racoon just liked like he was a painting or something...

Our plans:
Sam gets out of school at noon on Friday so we should be at WDW by 3. We have some friends coming up the same weekend/same resort so we will try to hook up with them when we get there. I really want to take time to enjoy the resort since I'm not sure we'd stay there again. We have dinner reservations at Boma on Friday night and will probably go to MK.

Sat: Probably Epcot and Animal Kingdom - will be spending most of the day with our friends.

Sun: Sam and I will try to make EMH at MGM/Studios so she can try RnR and ToT. We have lunch ADR at Sci-Fi Drive In.

Thats it!

I think it's funny because his tongues hanging out!

Hey! I'll be talking about Boma in the next update or two! Just in time!

Cool! I didn't realize you went there. What did you think of the resort?

 

[MickeyCrazedMom]

All caught up -I was a few days behind. Great updates! What is it about WDW and sunglasses? DH forgot his, bought new ones, and lost them on Buzz. I took mine off for a show, put them in a backpack, someone sat on the backpack, and broken sunglasses!

I'm enjoying hearing about AK, we didn't do much there. We will have to spend more time there on the next trip! Keep going!

You'll just have to wait and see!

You're such a brat!

Great update Monica! I love that we are doing our AK days on our reports at the same time! Now I can see how you can really do AK (without a herd of elephants, um, I mean 16 people!).

We loved Pizzafari too, if only we had been there at the waaaayyyy more appropriate time of 11:00 like you guys! Good call!

That's so exciting that Megan loved the characters! It took the princesses (on our 4th day), before Katie would go near them!

I'm glad Hunter liked Everest!

Can't wait for more! Doesn't it take forever to do these updates? I had no idea! It's fun, though! Helps re-live the trip! I'm glad you are packing in the details - so fun! (I'm only to lunch on my AK day and it has taken me four installments! )

Love the pictures!

I might slow down! I don't want to be done! It does take a long time, but I love it. Can't wait to hear about your Everest experience!

I didn't like the sunglasses that we got. Everything looked distorted and yellow. With AK's rocky walkways it made it even worse. I felt like I wasn't walking straight. People probably thought something was wrong with me! (No comments from the peanut gallery!)

Monica- as always a great update and photos. I love Megan's animal print skirt for her Animal Kingdom visit! We have never seen the Pocahontas show-would adults enjoy it? I'm sure my DD would, even if the show was childish just because of the animals. Did you notice any exam or surgery schedule's at the hospital at AK? On one of our last days on our trip in 2005, the CM told us that we could observe animal exams and surgeries if we came back in the morning. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it back. DD was very interested since she is pre-veterinarian major in college.
Pizzafari is the one restaurant we never miss in AK- I haven't even been able to get my family to consider any other place!
You were so fortunate to get so many Photopass selections- did you have to hound them or were they easy to find? We are considering the pre-purchase program for our August trip.

You better not slow down! YOU might want to drag it out, but WE want to read, read, read. So get on it woman!

I think I am all caught up.
First - the sassy ( that's what we called pacifiers)... Brandon was forced to give his up at 2 1/2 when he fell and bit his lip severly. The doctor told him he couldn't have it any more so at least I wasn't the bad guy! However I do not recommend this method.

I just love the looks on your kids faces when they are watching shows etc... It is just priceless and makes me miss when my kids were that small.

Your shirts and window clings are beautiful. Much better than store bought!

I can't believe Hunter riding all the big rides! Brandon was 8 the first time we went and he wouldn't even consider ToT. He did ride RnR and loved it.Now there is no stopping him!

Keep it coming! Now that you have your computer back we would like more productivity please!

Hey Monica.
I'm so glad Hunter loved EE, it was the highlight of AK for me.
Great pics of the family and Stitch. We had a couple pics with Stitch there and had a great time with him.
I love how you match Megan's clip to her little stick on earings~So cute!
I agree with Tracy, I love the pic of Meg with her autograph book.

YES YES, why don't you slow down

Unfortunately, we missed stuff at AK which meant no observations. However, Hunter has needle issues so he probably would cry watching any proceedures! He won't be a vet, but Dave and I joke and say he's a future animal fanatic like we see on Animal Planet. "ANIMALS RULE!"

LOVED Pizzafari. The atmosphere is just as good as the food. We found Photopass workrs all over. They don't stop you though so you have to be on the lookout. They were with the majority of the characters we met too so that's why we have so many. I highly reccommend the pre-purchase CD. So worth it. Their pictures are just better than ours.

You better not slow down! YOU might want to drag it out, but WE want to read, read, read. So get on it woman!

My fans have spoken! Yeah, right! You guys are the best!

Thanks for the nice compliments. It's funny because I didn't think twice about putting Hunter on the Disney thrill rides, but he's at the height to ride some of the big rides at Kings Island this summer and I'm not going to let him ride some of them.

Yeah, I'm such a slacker!

YES YES, why don't you slow down

Hey Kimmy! What's going on with you? You seem to be MIA alot lately. Don't tell me you have a life outside the DIS!

Stitch is always a fun character to meet. Last trip he "licked" Hunter's autograph book before he handed it back. He had the whole line cracking up. While taking video of the Halloween parade last time Stitch looked right at the camera and started picking his nose. He's a hoot!

Oh yes. I am really enjoying having my girlie girl to dress up!

Well, I'm off to find a download of the song "Elvira". Any suggestions where I can get it for free? I'm not very savy with music downloads! Hunter is in a church program called "Hallelujah Hee Haw"! He's the Oak Ridge Boy with the deep voice! It's gonna be hillarious!

Kimmy's gonna hook me up with the song.
