Disney done differently, (BOG dining updates pages 202 and 203)

What a neat line. Disney does lines well. It's all in the little details. The herbs drying on the fireplace for instance is a neat touch.
 
Sea World looks like fun. Is that party included with your AP? Last time I looked up the cost of the AP's (with FL ID) they were really cheap. I might get them next year if this kind of thing is included. :thumbsup2

Thank you for some of the best Fantasyland pictures yet! I love looking at everything. Makes me feel like I'm there.

That saddens me that he's not able to get on his favorite rides. :worried:

Yes!! Included with admission! Universal and IOA have great prices on AP from time to time too!

Thanks for the compliment! I took so many pictures it's hard to pick and choose which to post. So I've been posting almost all of them except the really bad ones.

It stinks that he can't ride those attractions. But he's been pretty good about it. There are so many other things that he can do at Disney.

There's a few other things he can't do that he wants to do. He'd love to ride a bike, but even on the special needs trike he had trouble figuring out how to steer and slow it down. That thing was great! Would love to get one of them for him but boy are they expensive!!

http://www.adaptivemall.com/terspecneedt.html This is the trike he rode at therapy.



Love Belle's home...great pictures!

Thanks! It's so much better in person! I know you will love it when you get there!
 
It certainly looks like you guys had a BLAST at Sea World's Spooktacular! Everything looked so bright and colorful and fun. All of the fish costumes remind me of the Finding Nemo show at Animal Kingdom.

Love all the photos...disney needs to take a few of their ideas!

cute art projects too!

Yes, you're right they do.

We had fun. Even my oldest likes going, if nothing else for the candy.

Thanks. Back when we first went to MNSSHP in the early 2000's, they did do those things. Face painting, free games for prizes, and crafts were all included with your admission to MNSSHP.

And at DTD they use to have free decorate a Halloween cookie, games, stilt walkers, story tellers, magicians, etc. That stopped a couple years ago. I think that's why Sea World's has become so popular.

Boy it's cold here in central FL!! Jacket weather today, I'm bringing gloves and a hat to the park today.

Took Anakin to the orthodonist this morning. He needs two teeth extracted, possibly one filled. He goes to the dentist Friday for a cleaning and consultation.
 
Very cool sw crafts!

Sea Worlds party looks like a lot of fun... very colorful!

I love all the pictures of Maurice's cottage! Makes me want to go back!!
 
Oh no - sorry for the dental working coming up!!!

I think winter is fast approaching us all. Can't believe all the snow they will get in the mountains and in West Virigina. How's your parents? Saw on Judy's thread they are in the path of the storm. Will be saying payers for them!!

Love Belle's house!! It's small compaired to everything else - but I love the photo of the stool and apple. Great photography! You should post some photos on the photo boards.
 
don't know how I missed the Belle photos....LOVE the space, can't wait to see it! we loved the old Belle storytime and Megan was choosen one time to play a character!

bummer about Anakin needing some teeth pulled, hope they keep him comfortable during the process :hug:

My parents are doing fine so far. Their electricity keep flickering. They have plenty of flashlights and batteries, water, and food. My dad is a bit confused about it all. Mom's been entertaining him with card games. When the lights started to flicker she quickly whipped up dinner so he'd get a hot meal. Last I heard they were watching Dancing with the Stars. The rain has slowed for them, but the wind is picking up.

I'm sure I missed alot in Maurice's cottage. The line was moving and I was taking pictures while walking.

Just checking in, waiting for the Storm to hit here !!

I hope it doesn't hit hard! Thanks for checking in! Please check in when you can for an update on how you are doing.

This new place is unbelievable and very magical!

As for the dental work, he will need two teeth extracted. His 2nd eye tooth is growing in where the front tooth baby tooth that has no replacement is. The baby tooth eye tooth will not be lost. He will end up with 2 eye teeth side by side. He is recommending the baby tooth be pulled.

On the top teeth, he has a 2nd tooth growing over top of a baby tooth in a very odd position. He thinks is the baby tooth goes the other tooth will grow in better.

As for our car that got dented from a tree limb on Friday, the damage was $779. The car goes to the body shop tomorrow. They said it will take 3 days to repair it. Just glad it was the car and not dh as he had just been at the car.
 

Enchanted Tales with Belle - Part 3 - The Beast

Once we were transported to the castle, the guests began to volunteer for roles. Anakin volunteered for everything. He was given the part of the Beast!! His growl was louder and more ferocious than most of the other growls.

Madame Wardrobe came to life. She supplied the costumes!

That is absolutely adorable! Anakin looks like he was really having a good time.
 
He wanted to take Duffy to church a few weeks ago. I told him he could leave Duffy in the car, but that the children don't bring things from home.

Grumpy chimed in and said that 8 year old boys don't take teddy bears with them. Anakin stood up for himself and said that he likes Duffy and he wants to show everyone how cute he is. We were going to Epcot later that day, so I suggested that Epcot would be a more appropriate place to bring Duffy.

Grace has a very well travelled and well loved cat that goes everywhere with her, too. Doctor's appointments, medical tests and anything else that could be scary go much better when "The Kitty" is with her. For school and church, "The Kitty" does stay in the car, but on vacations she is with us. We have photos of that cat in a lot of different locations, but at least she's easier to keep track of than the invisible dogs that Grace brought along on our 3 week trip to China this summer! We had a lot of meltdowns about leaving those dogs at the hotel or one of us stepping or sitting on them as we travelled. Luckily we haven't heard much about Sam and Chrystal since we got home, but I was ready to leave those dogs in China several times.

Like Grumpy and Anakin, Megan has also been known to comment about Grace being too old to cart a stuffed animal along with her everywhere, but I don't see Grace leaving "The Kitty" at home any time soon.
 
That is absolutely adorable! Anakin looks like he was really having a good time.

Thanks! He had a great time! Grumpy actually said that Anakin made the story interesting. He did not hold back. Well, maybe when Belle told him to kiss her hand...but besides that he followed whatever direction they gave him.

You're experience there, depends alot on the volunteers. The little girl who was Chip took her jumping seriously and was so adorable as she sprang into action. The soldiers did a great job at marching! Belle and the cm did a great job at engaging everyone into the show. Only one little boy was shy in participating.

By invisible dog, do you mean those collar and leash things, or do you mean she had imaginary dogs with her?

Maybe you can share a picture of Kitty on a vacation?
 
What sweet, sweet pictures. You can see Anakin getting into it and enjoying. Good for him.
