I love the Step-sisters. They are so much fun. You had different ones than we did, but it sounds like they were just as funny. Seeing your pictures of the hotel makes me wish we would have looked around some more. We just went in and ate and left and didn't see anything but the gift shop.

 

[NYPDwife]

1900 PF looked like so much fun!! I love the way Lydia was trying to be close to Prince Charming, so cute !

 

[t-beri]

Just so we're clear here, it wasn't your WHOLE family..I wasnt' there. But it looks like you had a superb time anyway... YOU and STEPH went to WCC without me...IM CRUSHED. Ok, so I was stuck in bed but I still wish I'd been able to make it out while you were down. If I'd had use of both feet I woulda totally been there.

Glad the stepsisters made up for everyone elses lack of charisma. We were considering going her for dinner on Littles b-day since she is such a HUGE Cinderella fan but were worried about boring mac, looks like it will be fun for everyone.

Ahh, the first Pin Trade. I remember Little's...have a picture of it actually

and last year before we left Pop and Nona bought the kids keepers and Little got to pick her own out(with Dada's help this year

She picked Simba and Cinderella
I'm sure that Corey was excited to hand down such a fine tradition to the little-er ones. Good job Corey

OK, would they STOP messing w/ the smileys I just had to search for the thumbs up guy...that is SO annoying!!

...t.

PS I missed it, what DID you name the cat, and tell Corey we love Firefox too, the browser not necessarily the name.

 

[kimmylaj]

absolutely loving your tr and thrilled because we have adr for 1900 park fare in august for 14 and are so excited about the stepsisters, we cant wait

 

[twob4him]

Awesome installment and pictures Heather!!! You really crack me up! My DD4 "concentrates" on her food when the characters come around too...she is soooooo shy and scared even though she tries not to be....so cute. I love that you had a wonderful meal and evening! I bet you all were exhausted! Please tell me the AC was working when you returned "home".

 

[k_reile]

I thought I had signed up for this report before...but I guess not because I am not getting notices in my email. I still love the pic with Sawyer with PC....too funny. Your guys report is making me seriously consider off property next trip...though it depends on how old DS is before we go (and he is not even here yet) because it would be nice to just take a quick bus back to the resort and nap and then go again later in the day.

I could her him saying, "I KNEW I should have brought my pole!"

You see, Brian ALWAYS brings his fishing pole with us on vacation. He brings it right on the plane as a carry on! When we drive, the poles are always hanging just above the girls heads in their car seats! I've stopped fighting it...I married a fisherman, and that's what he's going to stay!

Are you sure he and my DH weren't separated at birth? My Dh actually brought his pole to WDW last time we where there.

Those step sisters sound like hoots. I can't wait until we go next time because that's definately one place we are going. Great installment.

 

[HeatherSue]

Teresa, I LOVE your update, once again. Those pictures of Lydia all excited about Prince Charmiong are just too cute!

You know, I came really close to including that same dessert caption and saying it was the only picture I had of the food. We think Waaay too much alike!

It was SUCH a magical experience!! I don't think you and I stopped smiling through the whole dinner! We were practically floating on air, it was so much fun!

I loved your update! I know some people don't like the GF, but I love that hotel! It has a special place in my memories. I can't believe we have never even thought to eat at 1900 park faire! I totally need to go back to Disneyworld just for this reason!! I love the stepsisters! Those pictures with Sawyer were hilarious and I loved seeing Lydia's face all lit up and joyful!! And that pic with Luke's Tessa with her finger up her nose?

I'm surprised we don't have many more pictures like that so far.

 

[DisneyMom5]

We are sooooo going to 1900 for dinner!
It was down for rehab last trip, or I would have tried it.
Looks like fun!

Great update!

 

[teresajoy]

Great installment! Love the pictures from 1900 Park Faire. We've never eaten there but I definitely want to go now!

BTW, I commented on your experience from BBB but I have to tell you a story about this morning. While I was reading your TR, Parker climbed up in my lap and was looking at the pictures. The group shot of all the little girls got Parker talking about everything Disney. She started going through the line of who everyone was dresssed up like. Without even hesitating, when she got to Casey, she said "Hey, she's dressed just like Jasmine!" and then Michael came over to look too and he said "yes Parker, she is dressed like Jasmine but she is not the real one." So, boo on the man that didn't know who she was and then saying she was in her pajamas. If you have Disney magic, you know who they are!!!

Aww, thank you so much for shaing that with me!!! That is so sweet!!! I just KNEW I liked you guys!

Oh, I'm thinking you need to go there in May!!! Come on, you know you want to!

It's a very nice gift shop though!

Wasn't that sweet!!! She TOTALLY fell for him!!!

I knew you would understand how special that was T!!! I called my mom over to witness it, but she just looked at me like I was NUTS!

absolutely loving your tr and thrilled because we have adr for 1900 park fare in august for 14 and are so excited about the stepsisters, we cant wait

Oh, I hope you love it!!!! It was so great!

Oh my goodness!!! Cathy, I'm so glad you mentioned that!!! I need a little mini update!!!! I fogot about the A/C!!!!!

I thought I had signed up for this report before...but I guess not because I am not getting notices in my email. I still love the pic with Sawyer with PC....too funny.

I love staying off propety, of course, I've never stayed ON property before! I love having our own house, I think that would be great with a baby!

Are you sure he and my DH weren't separated at birth? My Dh actually brought his pole to WDW last time we where there.

Those step sisters sound like hoots. I can't wait until we go next time because that's definately one place we are going. Great installment.

LOL!!! Brian's poles were back a the rental house!

Wasn't Lydia adorable!! I don't think her grin could have gotten ANY bigger!!!!

Too funny about the dessert!!!

Yes, it was so magical!!!!

We are sooooo going to 1900 for dinner!
It was down for rehab last trip, or I would have tried it.
Looks like fun!

Great update!

You need to go there Sarah, like in May!!!! You can meet Tessa's future Mother in law too! (Come on Jeanne!)

Ok, I have to go write a mini update, thanks to Cathy!!!!

 

[teresajoy]

Woops!!! I missed something!!! Let's rewind a bit, shall we???

Ok, so we walk into the house carrying our sleeping girls, and it is blissfully cool!!!!

AHHHHH!!!! How nice!!!!! They fixed the A/C!!!!!



We will sleep well this night!! We will sleep well!!!!

I tucked the girls into bed and put on their jammies, being very careful not to wake them up.



I went out into the living room, to find Brian looking REALLY REALLY miffed!

"What's the matter?" I asked him.

"There is NO Electric in this half of the house from your parents room to the garage!" he replied. "The breaker keeps going out. I turned it back on, but then it just goes out again! I even tried turning off some of the lights in your parent's room!"

"You have GOT to be kidding me!" I replied.



This is about when my parents got home. We explained what was happening to them. Mom was not happy, all she wanted to do was get into bed and go to sleep! But, my Dad tried to figure out what was going on.

I called my good friend Berri, remember the emergency contact? The one who got mad when I called him at 11:30 the first time? Guess what time it was!!! hehehe,



yep,



it was 11:30!

Of course no one answered the phone so I left him a message telling him exactly what was going on, and mentioned that the water still smelled horrible, and I wanted him to contact the owner of the house to see what they could do to make up for all the trouble we were having.

About a half hour later, my Dad figured out that if you didn't have anything plugged in except the clock,

and didn't turn the ceiling fan on,

the breaker wouldn't turn off.

I thought of calling Berri back, but it was still not really working, and honestly, I didn't feel like using up anymore of my Dad's cell phone minutes, so I just went to bed! Finally!

 

[Disney Brat]

Hey, you got a new avatar! Are you trying to confuse me!!???!!!

Thanks for noticing!! Sorry for confusing you!!!!

Great update!!!! I am now soooo looking forward to 1900 Park Fare!! Awesome job on the installments!

 

[MouseTriper]

Wow Teresa....love the new installment!!! Looks like you had a great time at1900 Park Faire. We took our DD there on our 1st trip but the wicked stepsisters were not there. That would have been fun. We saw Cinderella, Prince Charming and the Mice. I have some great pics from there too. my DD was like Sawyer too and wanted nothing to do with Prince Charming. Hahaha.

Lookng forward to the next part!!!!

 

[tadamom]

Glad to see you did a rewind, I've been wondering if the air had been fixed. I'm hoping things get better for you with the a/c and I definitely hope the owner makes it up to you!

 

[revrob]

I'm SO RELIEVED to hear what happened with the A/C! I've been wondering all this time if you spent the entire trip without air. Thanks for the update - glad you got SOME relief.

 

[DisneyLaura]

Oh dear more house troubles. I can't wait to hear the rest of this story.

 

[Cherlynn25]

Wow, I sure hope they did something to compensate you guys!!!! I would have been a little on the annoyed side! I'm glad they finally got the A/C to work, its too hot down here to not have working A/C!

 

[teresajoy]

I hope you have as much fun as we did!! It was so great!

They could do away with Cinderella, Prince Charming and the Fairy Godmother, and this meal would STILL be great!!! Those stepsisters were FANTASTIC!!!

Glad to see you did a rewind, I've been wondering if the air had been fixed. I'm hoping things get better for you with the a/c and I definitely hope the owner makes it up to you!

I can't believe I forgot that part when I posted the update to begin with!

I'm SO RELIEVED to hear what happened with the A/C! I've been wondering all this time if you spent the entire trip without air. Thanks for the update - glad you got SOME relief.

We were relieved too, but quite concerned about the electical situation!

Oh dear more house troubles. I can't wait to hear the rest of this story.

It was a nice house, but they sure didn't have it "guest ready" when we arrived!

Wow, I sure hope they did something to compensate you guys!!!! I would have been a little on the annoyed side! I'm glad they finally got the A/C to work, its too hot down here to not have working A/C!

We were all so tired, and then the guys stayed up trying to get some lights to work in half of the house, it was crazy!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Thanks for the update Teresa...keep them coming!!! I still want to procrastinate

 

[teresajoy]

Thanks for the update Teresa...keep them coming!!! I still want to procrastinate

Ok, I'll work on it!! Maybe you can procrastinate on Monday!! If I don't get busy with this TR, we will NEVER get through all 14 days before my next trip, and with my memory, I will have to change it from the "true version" to the "things that might have happened but I'm not really sure version"!
