Family, Friends, & Celebrities- A MAGICAL Birthday TR!!! *UPDATE*8/27! Final thoughts

No, he is miserable. Surgery isn't until July 14 (he wants to ump the baseball season first...have to have that vacation money).

Geez.. I'm sorry to hear he has to have surgery. Hopefully that will finally relieve him of the pain.


You can fly down and be our guide. :)
Yea.. but are YOU gonna fly me? :lmao::lmao:

Thank you...that is very sweet of you to offer to wear pink for me every day. :hug:

No prob! :) :hug:


Way to go, Juliana for riding Pirates of the Caribbean. Mr. Schultz would be so proud of you -- it is favorite ride (after Dumbo, of course) and he will challenge you to a sword fight now if we are ever lucky enough to be there the same time as you. :)

She really felt like a BIG girl after. She was so proud of herself.. so was I!




great up date tim!!:lmao: i like your text's back and forth. were going to try to get about eight guys together in one place in december?:lmao:

It was easier just to text than try to talk with all the noise around us.

I might be one of those guys too. We are still waiting to hear back from MAW with Juliana's trip dates. I might just have to stop for a handshake though.
 
Doing good so far! Fantasyland covered. No tantrums. New rides. Awesome!!
The kids saved most of their tantrums for Tuesday! :lmao:

It really was a great day up to this point! :)




Tim! You've left me hanging again to find out if you meet up with Barry or not! :snooty:
I'm sorry.. I have a lot of pics for the next update.. I might have to split it into 2. You getting sick of my pics yet? :confused3 :rotfl:

How disappointed were you that no one else saw the bird poop on the CM? If I saw something like that, I'd so want to be able to laugh and share it with someone else!
I turned to Dave and asked him if he saw it.. but I think he was doing something with the kids.




Are you ever going to meet up with Barry?! :laughing:
:rolleyes1 'Someday... over the rainb...' :rolleyes1

Honestly, I'm a terrible singer! :rotfl2:

I haven't seen them do the Sword in the Stone in awhile!
I didn't know my question was going to get so many responses!! :rolleyes1
 
Love the sunglasses on the girls...adorable! (I had a red pair with Mickey in the middle when I was their age!)

And on the sword: there's a CM with a switch nearby that'll every now and then let it be pulled out.
 
We had tantrum Tuesday too- only it wasn't the kids!!

This was so cool!
 

Great update.

Congrats to the girls for riding PoTC....

You're getting a ton done at MK....

Texting....so crazy that you were in the same park and hadn't crossed paths.....yet.
 
I'm sure there were many extras that were cut and never returned. Did you see the pics that were posted right before your post? They are exactly what you were talking about. Really cool!

Most definitely!

Oh yeah, I was wondering WHAT was taking so long when I was posting my comments - and then when it FINALLY finished posting, I saw that those cool pics had been posted at about the same time. They were cool shots - and yes, that's exactly what I was referring to. It was such a great little "plus" to the park. Disney parks are still very, very cool - but they just don't have quite as many little treats as they once did just waiting to be discovered - like this one was.


We have been to PF and actually went this trip too.:rolleyes1 We love it there and the stepsisters could possibly be the best part! I don't want to ruin anything but let's just say the sisters we at the top of their game!

Cool - can't wait to learn more about that.


Juliana has the same Cindy doll! princess:

Awesome! For a while, she ended up in my office since Annie decided she no longer wanted her... as soon as she got Belle & Ariel. And since Cindy is my favorite princess (shhh, I really didn't say that :lmao:) Annie decided to "share" her doll with me. So she sat on my shelf for about 3 days when suddenly Annie just HAD to have her back again. Now all 3 of her baby princess dolls sit on her bed - together - as friends. Till she grows out of them, or something like that.

You said this was from 3 years ago?? I swear we had the same Drizella!

Sure was. Kind of like waaaaaaaaay back on one of your Studios day updates where you talked about your visit to LMA - I commented and said the hostess/asst director lady was the same one in our video from when we first saw it in 2005... if they're good - they have staying power. Otherwise, they do tend to be moved out and replaced. Anastasia and Drizella are GOOD.


That is really funny! :lmao:

I took this from my 'characters' TR..

The stepsisters were so funny. They told Juliana she looked so much better in her dress than Cinderella ever did. They were bickering with each other across two tables. The stepmother yelled at them and told them to stop it or they were going to go to 'time-out' Juliana got a kick out of that.

That is too funny! And actually very similar to what we experienced there. As I said you could hear them all over the dining room - and yeah, bickering back and forth - across the room was part of it! I love the "time out" part!! Hysterical! :rotfl2:


Sounds like heaven! Maybe I'll retire in Florida and the family can come visit us and take us old timers to Disney.

Someday I'd like to be within short driving distance of a Disney park again. I absolutely loved, LOVED, LOVED being just 10 min. from Disneyland all those years. Popping over for lunch, or dinner - a little shopping, an attraction or two...whatever. It WAS heaven. DW isn't as convinced it would be as heavenly living in Florida, and right now there's no way we can afford So Cal - so we have to take what we can get right now. But someday.... I want that again.
 
I'm on the phone with her now! LOL She told me she got it from Express last summer. She said she saw a very similar one in the newest VS catalogue.

Wow, no shock that I love the dress then since nearly my entire wardrobe comes from Express! I'm really not exaggerating lol And I did just receive the new VS catalouge in the mail a few days ago so I'm definitely going to have to check that out. Thanks Tim and thanks Melody! :goodvibes
 
We had tantrum Tuesday too- only it wasn't the kids!!
Oh boy! That doesn't sound good. :sad2:

I need to get over to your TR.. I read your update. I just need to post. :surfweb:

My baby girl is growing up. princess:

You know.. considering how busy it was we did accomplish a lot. If I made a list of what we didn't see, I'd probably think differently though.

Wait till you see my next update... we were so close to each other. :rolleyes:

I like Cinderella too! ;)

Juliana has so many Cinderella dolls and I think most of them sleep in her bed. :cloud9:

Melody read my update when she got home and while she was reading it, I noticed the Drizella from my parade pic was the one we saw last March at PF and October 2008 outside of the castle. Mel agreed it was the same one. What does a face character make? They obviously love their job.

I agree... I'm not sure I could take that Florida heat day in and day out. Maybe I can be a snowbird. :scratchin:scratchin

No problem!!! I hope you find the dress! :goodvibes
 
Great update Tim. Looks like a fun day so far. Your Princess is growing up-maybe time for another? Or a Prince??

It really was a great day. Perfect weather, friends, family, & Disney.. what more could you want? (maybe less crowds?)

Melody is getting the itch.... we'll see. ;)

Feeling lost....

Yea.. I did an update earlier today... check out page 38 for the update!
 
That's quite a bit....I think the guest satisfaction is 1 ride an hour on a busy day....

One thing that I wanted to do was Dumbo. When we got to Fantasyland the wait was already 70 minutes. UGHHHH:headache:

We got a chance later in the week to ride it though. :hippie:
 
Parades. Meh. Great for little kids, but I never gave mine a choice. It was either with me on PoTC or not. :lmao:

My son got to do the sword thing too. Very fun stuff!

Bummer your Meet keeps getting thwarted! Tim, you need a solo trip in a bad way. Sept. oughtta do it.... :rolleyes1
