Another wonderful trip report Lesley! Glad that your family was able to experience Disney in the fall. That is awesome about the
Disney cruise booking. Can't wait to hear about Tim & Brian's trip.
The whoopee cushion idea was hysterical.
So glad you enjoyed it. The fall was AWESOME! Stay tuned for Tim's report, he leaves in ELEVEN DAYS!!! (so jealous!)
Great trip report! Too bad it was so short
I'm getting angry just reading about that lady that burned poor Lauren. Who can be like that? There sure are some miserable people out in the world.
Can't wait to hear about Tim's trip and many more trip reports to come!!!
Yeah, that lady was a loser! So glad you enjoyed the TR, more to come for sure! Look for Tim's soon!
What a great last day, and that was so sweet of you to leave behind gifts for Diane and family! I can't believe that lady at the airport. I hope Lauren didn't end up with a scar on her arm.
You are gonna LOVE the cruise! We have done three. It is completely different from doing the parks, and soooo relaxing!
Glad you enjoyed it, the gifts were fun to leave. Can't wait for the cruise, I feel another obsession coming on : )
You had a great trip of "firsts". I lurk on your tr's and have gone back to read your other ones. You always have such great trips. I also do follow your blog too. I am looking forward to Tim's report.
Thanks, it was a great trip of firsts. Happy to see you enjoy the TR and the blog : )
As always, I LOVED your TR to the MAX!!!
Boy, you have to bottle luke still loving the
characters, hugging them and all. How old is
he, is it 8?? It won't be long before he thinks
he is to "old" for that kind of thing, so you
have to soak it all up while the gettin is good!
Can't wait to hear all about Tims upcoming
christmas disney adventure!
So glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, Luke is still WAY into characters, I soak it in every trip!
Aww what a fun last day!
Riding the trolley up Main Street...walk-on for PP! AWESOME!
The kids looked so excited to find PUSH!
Wow, the new Riverboat Show looks neat! What a great idea for the movie!
Aw, I hate leaving. I can't believe someone did that to Lauren though!
Loved this TR..which is not a surprise because I loved all your other ones!
)
Glad you enjoyed it, the trolley ride up Main street WAS awesome. The Riverboat show is fun. I can't believe she did it to Lauren either, horrible! Thanks for coming along on another trip with us ; 0 )
We rode the horse drawn carriage at MK last year and it was one of my best memories! We had carolers singing Christmas songs on the back as we rode down Main St. with all the decorations. It was just a beautiful experience. I was teary-eyed by the time I got to the castle.
My DD was also able to drive the Speedway cars this year. She was so proud and has told everyone that she got her driver's license! The look on Lauren's face just says it all!
That is just amazing about the idiot at the bus. I might have been taken out of there in handcuffs.
People never cease to amaze me though. You just have to say they aren't worth it and let it go I guess. She'll get here's one day. I mean you have to be a real looser to do that to a kid and not feel bad about it.
Can't wait to hear all about your next adventure. The cruise sounds fantastic!!!! I'm so excited for you!
How fun with the carolers on the trolley, how awesome! Such fun being in the passenger seat with your kid driving Speedway, great memories. I agree, the lady WAS a loser! Thanks for reading/posting, glad you enjoyed it!
I totally enjoyed this TR, made me feel like I was there. Our last trip we didn't get to the MK for more than an hour or so & that was to see Wishes. So, I got to enjoy it through your TR. There will be a next time for us, maybe in '11.
You have to ingnore some people, they just don't get it!
So happy you enjoyed the TR, thanks for reading/posting. Hope you get to return to the happy place soon : )
Sorry to hear that your trip to the airport was not so magical, but glad Lauren was OK in the end. And props to Luke for being more adult than the lady!
Yeah, it wasn't magical but Lauren's arm healed quickly. Yes, Luke is GREAT at sticking up and looking out for his little sister.
Great report!
Can't wait for the next one!!!
So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading/posting.
Another wonderful trip report!! I am sad that it is over though. I am excited to read Tim's when he gets back from his trip. How exciting to book a trip on the Dream, that ship looks amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful adventures with all of us!
Melissa
I'm sad it's over too, but thanks for coming along with us. We are over the moon excited about the trip on the dream! Thanks for reading/posting.
Great trip report! Can't wait to read about your next adventure, and of course Tims trip with his buddy. And Oh MY Gosh - the Disney Dream, that is beyond awesome!!
So glad you enjoyed it. Yes, look for Tim's TR with Bryan here after his return, he leaves in 11 short days. Disney Dream, we are SOOOO thrilled! Thanks so much for following along with us!
We got back from our Thanksgiving trip yesterday and I got to finish reading your awesome trip report today! Thanks for helping extend the magic
Loved it all
I really hate to hear about what happened to Lauren! Can you imagine someone not being able to wait to get to a designated smoking area before lighting up?? I mean you are right beside a bus full of kids?? Terrible behavior.
Hope you had a great trip, welcome home! I know, the nerve of that lady!!! Thanks for reading along with us : )
Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... it's over?! Please say it ain't so!!
Lesley, I have loved every moment of this trip, especially since you experienced so many new things, and because the weather was perfect and there were no crowds. Your family totally deserved this amazing adventure!!
We are sitting in the Indy airport right now getting ready for our fall/ Christmas trip. Hope you can make it over to the TR when you can! (Link in signature)
Thanks again!
ps... do you think if I leave something for your family at AKL when we are there this week, that they'll hold it for you until June?!
Sorry but alas it is over, so sorry! More to come though, we are never away for too long! Enjoy your trip!!!! Sure, give it a try!!! : )
Great report! So sorry about the cigarette incident. That totally sucks that people can be like that.
Congrats on your cruise booking! We're off on our 6th Disney Cruise in less than two weeks and have a 5-nighter booked for the summer 2011 on the Dream, as well. You'll love it!!!
Glad you enjoyed the TR. 6th DISNEY CRUISE!!! Wow, bet we'll become just as hooked, can't wait!!!
Wow Lesley! Everything looks so great! I am glad that you guys had a wonderful time!
I just have one question...where did Lauren get that dress that she wore on your last day? It is so adorable and I think it would look great on my daughter for our upcoming trip!
Thanks a ton!
Carlita
Hello Carlita, glad you enjoyed the trip. The dress was a find at Target last summer, it was their Circo brand, I love it too! : )
GREAT update as usual! LOVE the Tiana pictures, they are beautiful! I just wanted to say thank you again for Eric's giftcard...SO SWEET and the whoopee cushions! Just a warning though, the boys begged us to save them so we can use them when we are all together again!! SO FUNNY! LOVED your TR as always! HOORAY for the cruise!!! LOVING all of the kids smiles in allof your pics and I want to find the cigarrette lady and SMACK HER!
Matthew was FURIOUS when he heard me read that part he said "oh, that is just wrong!!"
Glad you enjoyed it Diane. UH OH, I'll let the kids be surprised about the whoopee cushions : ) Love Matthews reactions, wish he was there to defend her with Luke : )
Great TR! The cruise should be wonderful, can't wait to hear more about your plans for that!
Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I'll have to do a PTR for the cruise, but more Disney trips in between to get through first (such torture : )
Lesley
Awwww I am so sad its over but what a fabulous trip! Thanks for sharing and all of the wonderful pics and fun with your beautiful family. Hugs!
Hey Tim...looking forward to your tr!!!
God Bless!
So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for coming along with us again! Tim will have fun doing it!
Hi! I can't wait to hear about your new trip plans.
Thanks!
Great TR, as always! What a jerk that "lady" with the cigarette was! Luke sounds so much like my grandson - he would say exactly the same thing!! And what a RUDE woman! Good news about the future plans - looking forward to hearing more. Hope Tim has a good time on his trip.
Glad you enjoyed it, yes the lady was a huge jerk!!!
I'm so sad this fun trip report is over! You guys are such a cool family. I'm so sorry that Lauren didn't get to meet Princess Tianna and then was burned with a cigarette! That poor little girl. And then for the person to be rude and not apologize? Very uncalled for! I can't wait to read the next report!!
Glad you enjoyed hte TR, I know, quite a day for Lauren. More TR's coming soon so stay tuned!
Hello,
I've had a great time recently discovering all your trip reports. Such great detail.
In several of your reports I've seen you wearing a mickey head necklace. My family is visiting for a week starting Dec 28th and I plan to shop for a necklace for my wife. Her birthday is on Christmas and we'll be celebrating it during our trip. Do you know where it was purchased? I can't remember if you or your husband bought it.
Thanks.
Hi, so glad you enjoyed the reports. Yes, we went 3 years in a row on my birthday and my gift each year was a new Disney necklace (showcased in previous years Trip Reports). Tim got one of them in the jewlery store under the castle (it was there before the bippety boppety botique went in), and the others at the World of
Disney store in the jewlery store part, I love each one of them! Good luck finding a great one and enjoy your trip!!!
Lesley
