Hi everyone! How was your Labor Day weekend? Ours was nice. On Saturday, Livy, my mom and I went to IKEA and did some shopping, which was a great girls day! Sunday was work and family brunch. Monday was pretty much a lazy day with dinner at mom's house. Today we woke up at 6:30 with Olivia in our room crying because she was too hot. Turns our our air conditioner went out int the middle of the night at at 6:30 it was already 81º in the house! 
I called the a/c guy around 9:00 and by the time he got here around 12:30 it was 86º! The bad news: we need a new outside unit/compressor. The worse news, it won't be fixed until tomorrow! As I am sitting her typing this it is 88º at almost 8:00! They are coming at 8:00am tomorrow so that is the only reason we are staying home!
On to the TR! I think I have left the couple of you still reading hanging long enough. So, did Olivia make the 40 inch mark so she could finally ride Splash???
SHE SURE DID!!!!!!!!!! Her very first "big kid" ride! They honestly didn't do a very thorough check and just kind of glanced, but I had measured her at home and she was about 40.5 with her shoes on, so I wasn't too worried. Danelle, Olivia, and I crammed our 3 hiney's into one row and we were off! Olivia was entranced the whole ride and loved every second of it! She even kept her hands up and did a great little scream down the big hill! As soon as she got off she said it was her new favorite ride and couldn't wait to tell Toby all about it!
When we made it back to Toby, she begged to go for a ride on BTMRR, of course we said yes and we were off! I made sure to tell her that she might not be tall enough to ride, and they were going to check her again. She was fine with this and we made our way in. We didn't get so much as a second glance, and soon enough we were ready to board. Livy wanted to ride with Mommy, so Toby and Danelle rode together.
Waiting for her first big kid roller coaster!
Of course I had to video her first ride!
Of course my little daredevil loved every second of the ride! Still not sure about Toby.....
After our new adventures, it was pretty hot and we were pretty thirsty, so we grabbed a couple of drinks and made our way to Haunted Mansion to cool off for a bit. Once we finished our ride and managed to escape without being 4 additional ghosts we headed to Adventureland for Olivia's request of a ride on POTC. Well, I'm not sure what was going on but the line stretched all the way outside the building! We made a decision that we were going to pass on that one for now and moved on to Jungle Cruise and it's 10 minute wait!
Once we made it safely back to civilization we decided that we were all pretty hungry and it was time for dinner! We decided to try something new to all of us and headed towards the exit.
Up next: Dinner. It was yummy and uncrowded and had one of my favorite desserts at WDW! Any guesses where we went?

She was SOOOOO excited that she was able to ride!
That would actually be a good guess since we have never been there! But, nope. I should clarify that we actually left MK to get our dinner. I'll give you another guess though!

She was super excited, but super sad that Space Mountain has that pesky 44 inch requirement!

Just wanted to pop in with a quick update! I haven't abandoned this TR! Toby was on vacation this week so we did lots of family stuff and lots of cleaning out/rearranging the house so we were pretty busy and I haven't had time to get on the DIS! I should be back on with an update on Tuesday since tomorrow is work, Packer game, work, and then Monday is Toby's last day off with swimming lessons and soccer practice for Olivia. Hope everyone is doing good!

I am finally all caught up. I'm so glad you are just continuing all of your trips in one report so that makes it easier to keep going.
I'm so excited that she got to go on big girl rides!! Very brave of her. It's interesting hearing you say that you let her pick where you go, and then where she decides to go. If we let Dylan do that, we would spend the whole day on the teacups and IASW.

Glad you're here! I decided to just do one big TR this year since we aren't taking a "big" trip like we did last year. This year is more smaller trips/day trips and we are going to do a "big" birthday trip every other year.
She was SO excited that she could finally ride as well! That is all I had been hearing about for months was that she couldn't wait to get big!
Lucky for us, Olivia likes pretty much every single ride in all of the parks, so she usually chooses a pretty good range of rides to do when it is her turn to pick!

Hi guys (well the handful of you that are still here), I'm back with an actual update!!!! Things have been so crazy between Toby being on vacation last week, soccer season starting, Olivia being in school, and her getting sick last week, this is the first time I have really had to sit down at the computer!
So, when I last left off, my little lady had FINALLY gotten to ride BTMRR and Splash and we were heading out of MK to grab some dinner. On the way out my little hula hoop master spotting a lovely hoop just calling her name so she hopped out of the stroller and did her thing. Every time she does this at WDW people are always amazed at how good she is for being so little. It cracks me up to see peoples faces when they watch her!
Now it was really time for dinner. Where were we going you ask? We wanted to try someplace new, so we hopped on a boat and made our way to Wilderness Lodge! Of the 4 of us, I was the only one who had even seen WL before, but had never eaten there, so it really was a new adventure for everyone! Some pics from the ride over:
Just as we got off the boat and made our way up the dock, I realized that it was just about time for the geyser to go off! What timing!
After we watched the eruption for long enough (and managed to avoid getting totally drenched), we headed inside to grab some food at Roaring Forks. Toby and Olivia grabbed us a table while Danelle and I went to get the food. Toby wanted a cheeseburger, Livy wanted pizza, and Danelle and I decided on the chefs special (or whatever it was called), chicken alfredo. As we made our way out of the food line, I glanced down at the dessert display and my eyes lit up! They had the magic cookie bar!!!!! I have been slightly obsessed with this since we discovered it during our stay at POR earlier this year. I'm not exactly sure what is in it, but I know there is chocolate chips and coconut. Just take my word, it is heavenly! Danelle decided to get one for herself as well. We quickly paid and made our way to Toby and Olivia so we could eat. We were all pretty hungry and all 4 plates were clean in no time! Olivia even ate a good chunk of my food as well, guess she really was hungry!
Once we were sufficiently stuffed, we decided to walk around the lobby for a while and get some pictures and pretty much just let Olivia blow off some steam and walk around for a while.
Cont. in next post.

This will pretty much be a picture update (that was your warning) until the end where there will be an actual story line! We spent about an hour just looking around the lobby and browsing the shop! It was some really nice downtime and just made us want to stay at WL even more!
After we had looked around for long enough, it was time to head out and grab a boat back to MK since we were planning on catching MSEP, the Magic, Memories and You show, then Wishes.
When we got to the dock we had just missed a boat! This turned out to be a bad thing. We were in for a long wait. I decided to pass the time taking pictures, while Toby was in charge of making sure Olivia did not fling herself into the water to go for a swim like the little fish she is!
Finally, after nearly 40 minutes the boat finally showed back up! We hopped right on and made our way back to MK and managed to grab some seats right across from the Christmas shop. Of course Olivia spotted something fun to do while we waited...
Then it was time! *Sorry, no actual parade pics*
After the parade, M,M&Y show, and fireworks, we made our way out with the hoards of other people who had the same idea. As we were trying to get out, it was a bit more tough since there were people on the curbs waiting for the next MSEP. There was one family who took it over the top. They were seriously about 5-6 feet into the street right where you turn back onto Main St from the hub. They were creating a huge bottleneck with people tripping all over them, and they refused to move! There was not a CM in sight and it was just plain ridiculous! After we got through that chaos and hopped on the ferry boat back to the TTC we walked to the car since we had parked pretty close and were shortly on our way back to the hotel!
We got back around 11:35 and everyone but me was asleep by midnight, while I was up until 1:30 or so.
Up next: The WORST morning ever! Seriously!

Hi guys! Once again I'm sorry for the delay. Livy was super sick last week with strep and a sinus infection and then just when she started getting better my moms house was robbed so I have been spending lots of time with her cleaning up, getting all new door and window locks for the house and getting her car rekeyed and all of the other unfun tasks that go along with being robbed. This is the first time I have been on the DIS in about a week! I should have an update this week once things settle down. I'm headed back over there now since today was her first day back at work and she is scared to go home alone. 
Thanks to those of you that are still here!
