[SunnieRN]

What a nice day you gave the girls!! I was lol at them recording your snoring!! Their tea looked wonderful and they both looked adorable.

Loving your report! The girls look lovely all ready for their tea. Looking forward to hearing more about your trip!

Thanks. They looked pretty good especially considering they cut their prep time to only 15 minutes.

Really enjoyed your last report and can't wait for more of this one!!

Sorry about the BCV room location -- we managed to get our magical one at VWL last month so I am afraid to think about what our next trip might get us!!

Back for more? All I can say is why? The room is fine. I used to make specific requests but don’t any more. Leave it to chance, I like to live dangerously. Glad you got your room last time, I got mine at the BW.

I am thoroughly enjoying your trip report. I feel like I'm there! I won't be back until next March and you are getting me very psyched to be back!

Glad to keep the anticipation up for your next trip. Our next trip is not for a number of months and they are really short ones.

Speaking as a girl who had (and has) a cool dad, your daughter will never forget this trip. Loving the trip report!

Hope you gave dad a big hug for Fathers’ Day. Thanks for thinking I am a cool dad. She thinks so some times. Other times, I am that overbearing idiot. You have to make memories when you can. One of the reasons I decided to do these trip reports.

Great trip report!

Thanks for letting me know. Hope I don’t disappoint with future episodes.

I am so glad you took and posted pictures from their "tea". Looks like alot of fun.

I now see the "Sea Serpent" in a totally different light!!

They love going to tea and it is a highlight of the trip. The Serpent shot hit me after I looked at it a few times. Struck me as funny.

What a fun trip report and a fun trip!

It's a cool dad who let's the girls have their own little "grown up" time at tea! how cool is that?

Unfortunately they ARE growing up. Seems like yesterday I was taking her on Dumbo.

Great report so far
looking forward to hearing and seeing more

Thanks for sharing

Great so far, I'm in!!!

Thanks for joining us on our trip. It is probably going to be a couple of days before the next post.

What a nice day you gave the girls!! I was lol at them recording your snoring!! Their tea looked wonderful and they both looked adorable.

I would tell DD and DDBF your comments but I would not want it to go to their heads. Thank you though, I agree. The snoring is a new thing for me. It was loud. I think it may have to do with the ear issues I am having and hope it is temporary.

15% off at Earl of Sandwich. As many times as I have eaten there and didn't know that. How in the world did you ever find this out?

Loving your report. What a totally new perspective, and dad and two young girls. You are a brave mine, and kudos to you.

 

[cj9200]

I have also eaten at the Earl many times and not asked about a discount. On a whim, I asked if they took the TIW when I placed the order. She said no but they do give a discount for AAA. Cool.

Thanks for the comments on the TR and I love your screen name. This is the second time the group went to Disney. What a difference a year makes. The duct tape came in handy this trip.

Work is in the way so the next day's report may not be up tomorrow.

Great report love the pics (BTW more pics!!!). Looks like the girls are having a blast. I have to admit when I saw DDBF I thought boy friend and when I saw your intro about your posts I was thinking........ahhhhhhh this is going to be good. It still is great but I was expecting something totally different.

 

[lisaviolet]

Maybe I can lock them in the birdcage

OMG!!!

My DH, YesDear, came up with the screen name. He is the creative one in the family.

And, yes, we are waiting for the next installment, isn't it a shame that work has to get in the way of all the fun things in life?

They had a lot of fun at this point. Will it last or will their makeup and assorted beauty products mysteriously disappear? Who knows? (Haunting laugh in the background)

Boy friend would be over my dead body. I thought about the title and possible misconceptions but I could not add another F to DDBF to make it a little clearer. When she used to use that term, it made me shudder.

OMG!!!

While taking the picture I actually thought about locking them in the bird cage. Problem was that a CM would let them out right away before I could make my escape and then I would have some explaining to do.

Taking a break from finishing a grant application today to visit the boards for a little while. Another client just called me and asked if I could write a new grant for them that has to be delivered by Tuesday. Sure, why not? Plus I have to drive hours on Saturday to drop off DD and another friend to a sports camp. Getting a little slap happy at this point and don’t know when the next installment will be up.

Great TR! Can't wait to hear how it went in the parks!

 

[irenep]

So glad I found your new TR - I really enjoyed the others and this is looking really good so far too.

The girls look like they are having a lovely time - I would love to try the GF tea but I don't think any of it would appeal to my DD (much too fussy).

Thanks for all the great pictures too - can't wait to go back and see it all for real now.

Looking forward to the next installment.

Today was an adventure. Finished a project with one client late last night and had a meeting with another this afternoon. It is about a surprise (to me) large grant that needs to be submitted by Tuesday. It was storming big time outside when I woke the child at 11:00 (letting her sleep in on some days) then off to the shower. In the middle of the shower, I hear a big bang and the power goes out. Finish and get dressed in the dark. That was fun. The dog is freaking out and DD says, “Did you hear that?”

Went to the meeting anyway. It went well but there is a lot of work to do over the next couple of days. Back at home still no power. It is in the mid 90’s here and without AC the house was a sauna. OK, lets go do something. We went and had a late lunch/early dinner.

Returning, I see utility trucks parked out front. Good sign. Then they start to leave. Me, “What?” Them, “Transformer is blown.” Me, “What?” Them, “Transformer is blown. We don’t carry them on the truck you know.” Me, “Why not?” Them, “Because we don’t (you idiot under their breath).” Me, “I have some work to do, When?” Them, “Few hours maybe longer.”

While I am making fun of the Utilities Company (FPL), they were pretty efficient. Power was restored by 8:00 and it was cool to watch them replace the transformer. If lightning is dangerous, try playing with high voltage electricity.

So anyway, power is restored then I have to wrestle to get the Internet up. The router may be fried but at least I can connect with the umbilical cord. With taking DD and another friend to a residential sports camp and work, the next update may be a while. Forgive me.

Sorry a bit out of focus but you can see what lighting can do to metal, let alone skin and bones. No reason to be afraid just be aware.

The other side more in focus

Compare that to the new one

About 30 feet up in the air

As a tease, we may not make it to the parks in the next installment.

The girls did have a good time. DD is not much into fussy but sometimes she likes being waited upon. The tea is kind of a rare treat, unlike over on the other side of the pond, she does not get to experience it often.

Big grants - wicked storms - burning transformers.

Could you not have come up with something better than THAT as an excuse for leaving us hanging? Really. :

A tease?

At times - that's my dream vacation.

OK at this point, I must go and looka at you rother reports. DD and DDBF are precious. I have been thinking of a nickname for DDBF...did you come up with one. Subbing here and will be back in a flash after seeing your others..

Did I mention flood and pestilence? Today was a decent day with some of my to do list checked off. Brain is fried though.

No nickname yet. She suggested Dopey but she is a bright kid and is DEFINITELY NOT THE SILENT TYPE. Any ideas are welcome. Think about it and talk amongst yourselves. See you probably Tuesday or Wednesday.

As a Mom of three great teenage boys (well, one is 21) I am loving your story. (with exception to the primping, I have no idea what that is all about, thankfully). The girls are absolutely adorable, especially in front of that bird cage, now that has got to get framed and put up on your wall, its a keeper.
Can't wait for more!!
