Downpours, DIS meets, and the Dining Plan - Our Week at WDW May 16-23 Final Thoughts

[Queenofallthings]

So nice to gear about your cave tour etc, sounds like things are turning around for you

GREAT REVIEW!! We loved TSM, we all went and rode ToT and my BIL went to get fastpasses while we were there, it worked out perfectly, he won't ride the TOWER lol\

Can't wait for the next review

the girls shirts...want a good laugh...
I ordered t's for everyone for Easter and Dayne did not want a character shirt
I ordered Wall-e shirts for Gwendolyn, Joe, Dayne's so to be ex GF, and Dayne
when they came in I had accidently ordered Dayne the exact shirt your girls have on.
So, now I'm stuck with two shirts
I'll off them on someone one day

Too funny on the shirts. All four of us had on cute Axiom crew shirts. It rained so hard we could never get a family pic. In my biased opinion we were cute though.

Got ur pm-thanks. Great character pics! So glad Josie was excited for the characters! I remember the rain at DHS that day......Fun update!

So glad you back Mary! I've missed you! It was a rainy mamajamma wasn't it???? We had a great day anyway.

Thanks so much! Sounds like a good plan with BIL. Normally Joe would have run off for FP's at ToT while we do RnR but since this was our first go at TSM I knew that would be the FP of choice that day. Not long until you're going I see! You're so lucky and I'm so jealous!

Hi your girls are so beautiful, I have a 3yo and it is such a fun age! I love reading your TR and can't wait for more. I am so sorry for your loss, Hannah looked like a wonderful dog.

You definitely have to check out UP! bring some tissues though. It's good but there are some parts that may bring tears to your eyes.

Thanks for reading and welcome to my TR! Thanks for the kind words about my girls. I agree 3 is a great age. We laugh so hard it hurts sometimes.

I'm a bit slow sometimes so forgive me for not noticing before...

How cool that you are really close to your first WDW family vacation! You must be so excited!!!

If you have any ??'s feel free to post. There are some WDW veterans around here(with kids) and surely one of us will know the answer! We're a friendly bunch.

Great update!!! I can't wait to see your take on Ohana, that's our first dinner in september!! Your girls are soooo cute!!! Hopefully my mom will wanna take the time to see the characters also, get some good pictures of us all!!

You're right not long at all, it really has snuck up on us, I just realized we leave a month today I have most of our toiletries etc in the spare bedroom on the dresser, but I really think I need to go over my lists this weekend. My DD boyfriend, was rolling on the floor when he asked me what I was doing one day and Jasmine, my DD, said "Oh that's her DISNEYBINDER" don't bother her when she has it out, she's in her happy place. He has asked everyone now when they come over if they've seen it....then he proceeds to say "it's laminated and color coded". Boys......

Hey, one bit of good news, I got my cast off on Monday, apparently hand is still broken but he was learly of immobilizing it again, so I'm to be careful and not do anything strenuous He wants to xray again on the 28th so cross your fingers for me they don't put another one on

Thanks!We are so excited. I have went a little OCD, in a good way with planning. I don't know what i will do after the trip is over, plan a new one i hope!

Great update!! We missed the animation building on our trip. What cute pics!! I especially love the one with the characters from Up!

Hey Leanne, I just wanted to stop by to say hello, and thank you for your prayers.

I will try to get an update out tonight. Not to spoil but we loved Ohana! You definitely need to get some family shots on your upcoming trip. You've done so much work you have to take tons of pics to document the pay off!

Got my fingers crossed for ya!!! Nothing but positive thoughts coming from here. I'm obsessed too. The whole family knows it and just overlooks me now. I can completely identify.

thanks for passing this along....

Thanks Nichole! She did love it this year. Didn't want much to do with characters unfamiliar to her though - King Louie, Baloo, etc. Next year should be spectacular though.

Thanks!We are so excited. I have went a little OCD, in a good way with planning. I don't know what i will do after the trip is over, plan a new one i hope!

I hope you get to plan another one also...keeps the post-Disney depression to a min.

Thanks Becky! We discovered the animation studio last year. Great place to cool off or in this case hide from rain.

Hey Leanne, I just wanted to stop by to say hello, and thank you for your prayers.

Hi Dana! You are more than welcome. You have been there for me when I needed it and I am more than happy to be there for you and yours.

Hi everyone! Just popping on quick to say that I will try to get an update out tonight.

OT: I had a fabulous anniversary weekend. Joe got a hotel room for us in Nashville and took me out to eat for lunch and dinner. For lunch we had italian at Carrabba's (which was excellent) and for dinner we had Morton's (upscale fancy shmancy type of place). Morton's was very good but very pricey too. We walked around the mall of Greenhill's and just hung out. It was so fun. Then after Morton's we went to the Cheesecake Factory for some super delicious cheesecake. The next morning we got up and went to Bass Pro and Academy sports and bought a few things for camping. We then went and saw Transformers (the first non-G rated film I've seen in years!). It was a good movie and a nice finale to our date weekend.

I miss the girls and they will be back tonight. My mom and dad wanted to keep them for a few days before school starts back up. Lindsey goes back to school on Aug. 4. I can't believe school starts agian in 2.5 weeks. The summer has flown by!!!

YAY!! Glad you had such an nice weekend!! Where did you stay? We ate at Carrabba's and went to the Mall at Green Hills while we were there, too!! YUM! Cheesecake Factory!!

WOW!! August 4th! That's the day we register! School starts back August 10th here!

 

[Queenofallthings]

Sounds like you had a wonderful anniversary!! There is nothing like having an adults only weekend...everyone deserves that once in awhile, hope you enjoyed!!!

Thanks Becky! We stayed at Hotel Preston. We stayed there about a year ago with some couples for a night on the town in Nashville so Joe knew it was a nice, clean hotel (and the price is reasonable too). It's only about 8 miles from Opry Mills and about 8 miles from the Mall at Green Hills. Did you like Carrabba's? I'd never been but really enjoyed it. We did Ruth Chris on our 5 year anniversary so Joe wanted to do something different this year. We loved Ruth Chris though.

I did have an awesome weekend and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you so much!

Your weekend sounds so nice. And HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. I love Carrabas, Dale won't eat there, but Amanda and I have been and we both really like it. Dale and I got away this past weekend too( he knew I needed it). I think it is really important for couples to have some time to themselves just to reconnect. Did you get any pictures?

Oh how nice!! It's always great to be close to good shopping!! We did like Carrabba's!! It was my first time to eat there. We have one here in Memphis but we had never eaten there!
