Four Brits hit the world the TR! ***Finished***

[rentayenta]

Errrrr Jenny is that a compliment

It is a total compliment. I like to read about the trip but I think pictures really complete the story.

 

[cmp1111]

I realize I'm a fine one to talk about updating TRs and all (seeing as how I haven't managed an update in three months) but...

Yes, Brenda, you have to be careful because some of your loyal readers are here, too...

Glad you're on, hope you're doing well.

That's OK Mo everyone just seems to do what they want on my reports, they either feel very at home with me, I'm an easy pushover or they get fed up waiting for me to update LYall/MI

Yes, no, and not fed up but impatient.

You forgot to shout at the CMs to let you into Akershus??
Belle didn't show up for the breakfast??
You got hit in the head from the golf ball at Soarin'??

Side note to those of you who didn’t read my preTR before I went to WDW I had a cyst come up on my eye so in all the photos just ignore the fact I look as though I’ve been punched OK, David’s not a wife beater really

This is funny, but really, as T says, you can't even see it.

After a good nights sleep I look at the clock to see 4am Now I know we need to leave the room early to get to our Epcot ADR but not quite that early.

Yes, I don't think getting to Epcot THAT early would be helpful.

We saw Aurora, Jasmine, Snow White and Mulan all of whom were lovely although it seemed Jasmine was eager to finish her shift even though it had just started

Perhaps she had partied at the casbah too much the previous evening?

So after a wonderful start to our holiday I was itching to get going, rope drop had happened 10 minutes ago you know

Yes, you wouldn't want to be "them"!


Sounds like a great start to the day! You and the girls look beautiful, and even if you didn't go quite according to plan, it doesn't sound like it messed you up any. Hurrah!

 

[Lauralee131]

WOW - I'm ALREADY behind!! Well, I'm here!

I love the expression on Ellie’s face in this one

How cute! So I gotta know...what's the deal with Snow White in this picture? She looks like the princess version of that obsene mannequin in the Poly gift shop...

So after a wonderful start to our holiday I was itching to get going, rope drop had happened 10 minutes ago you know

Atta girl!!!

But as we’re leaving Norway we spot Mary Poppins by the water with no queue So we just had to see her and oh wow she was amazing, she was chatting away to the girls and was hilarious did you know when flying she prefers to travel by umbrella but it makes her arm ache a little When it came to taking the photo she said to the DD’s in her poshest voice come along now chins up, no slouching She was so on

What a great picture of the girls...wow - I just gotta tell you all - these 2 little ones are 2 of the SWEETEST girls you'll EVER meet!!

We queue for the first Turtle Talk like good little TGMer’s and it’s great, Ellie refused to sit at the front with the kids This is the kid who danced on stage in front of hundreds of people in our local Panto last year, weird!

Our little girl's all grown up!!

Now the plan now was to dash to TT to get FP’s and then back but it was just too darn hot so we didn’t I know straying from the plans already

Wow...that didn't take long!!!

So much to the girls disgust we went to the Land whilst waiting for our FP time, I like this ride although I definitely remember it being longer and going into another greenhouse Here’s the obligatory MH pumpkin photo

We jump off and it’s Soarin time We zoom on and what do I hear up ahead a big cheer and 2 dream team members telling the line ahead they had won ears, oh my goodness am I upset, it’s ridiculous isn’t it but I wasn’t happy that we had been so close, but ……………………………………

Pay back time

Man...missed it by THATMUCH!!!

 

[DisneyJo]

The girls look so excited! I love it. Oh and guess who was sitting on my lap whilst I read this? Evan. He commented, "I like those girls." when he saw Elle and Jess with Belle. He even remembered their names!

That is so cute

Hey Jo you can barely see your oozy eye in the pics!

Thanks T but it gets worse

It is too bad that you didn't get the ears. I would have been jealous as well.

At least I'm not the only one!

It is a total compliment. I like to read about the trip but I think pictures really complete the story.

Oh that's OK then

Yes, no, and not fed up but impatient.

This is funny, but really, as T says, you can't even see it.

Aww thanks.

Perhaps she had partied at the casbah too much the previous evening?

Sounds like a great start to the day! You and the girls look beautiful, and even if you didn't go quite according to plan, it doesn't sound like it messed you up any. Hurrah!

Thanks CE

LL

Awww thanks LL, I just wish they were good all the time

 

[puggymom]

Hey Jo, great update, your girls are adorable.

I know how you feel about just missing the dream team, I tried to snag a dream fast pass at AK last time, but just didn't make the cut. I was too buys being jealous for those that had it to fell happy for them

So it's your first full day and you are already deviating from the Plan

Looking forward to more...

 

[HomeschoolMama]

Awww.. Your girls are so pretty. How fun to meet Mary Poppins!! Glad to hear you didn't try to trip her or anything like someone else's TR!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

How cute! So I gotta know...what's the deal with Snow White in this picture? She looks like the princess version of that obsene mannequin in the Poly gift shop...

I wish I could tell you what Andy said about Snow White. Let me just say it involved a dwarf and a little pinchin'.

ITA, LL!

 

[lexmelinda]

Hey, JO!!!

I'm so glad I saw your post over at your pre-trippie! Great start! I just can't believe your trip is over already. Because that means soon my trip will be over too!

Poor sweet Ellie! I felt so sorry for her at the airport. Glad you didn't lose your place in line!

Glad the girls got to see the princesses. I must say I'm a little sorry that my girls aren't into the princesses anymore.

Well, get cranking, sister! Two week trip!? You got lotsa writing to do!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Jo, you evil women you!! I have far more important things (although not nearly as much fun) to do ya know??

Your pre trip report was a hoot. Cannot wait to read ALL of your regular report even though it will probably be when I get back from MY trip (in about a month!) I will probably read it in between loads of laundry.

BTW, virgins are greatly overrated. Only men want them as they cannot stand comparisons but us women do not want to spend al the time training. Heck, if you cannot teach a man to pick up his own underwear what are the chances of teaching him anything more intricate?

Later gator (you done made me go upstairs and hunt one of my own to take. I will also have a can of corn. You just never know who you will meet)

Slightly Goofy, Linda

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

You done confused me so much that I forgot to say what I had planned!

The little girl was right, you ARE beautiful, mucked up eye and all. BTW, your daughter has stolen my dimples!! It is a sign of a potential Goofy person. Beware!! Have fun!!!

Oh LL I'm glad you said what I was thinking!

Sounds like you guys had a great breakfast with the Princesses, and Belle looked so pretty. I think that's the youngest Belle I've seen from pictures and she was in her gown. I know the girls were very excited about that character breakfast.

Jo great update!!! I know what happens next!! Sort of.

Can't wait to hear all about it though.

 

[twob4him]

Wow glad you got some sleep! What a nice start to the day! Love all the pics and it looks like you had a nice breakfast. I wish Belle had been at our dinner there. Mary Poppins looked beautiful as did your girls...I love that pic! Too bad about the Dream Team but you have two weeks! Keep your eyes pealed!

 

[DisneyJo]

Hey Jo, great update, your girls are adorable.

Thanks Mo

So it's your first full day and you are already deviating from the Plan

I know didn't take long did it

Awww.. Your girls are so pretty. How fun to meet Mary Poppins!! Glad to hear you didn't try to trip her or anything like someone else's TR!

Now who could you be talking about?

I wish I could tell you what Andy said about Snow White. Let me just say it involved a dwarf and a little pinchin'.

Well, get cranking, sister! Two week trip!? You got lotsa writing to do!

Hi M, you go soon don't ya!!! I know tons of writing to do, should be finished before my next trip in August 09

BTW, virgins are greatly overrated. Only men want them as they cannot stand comparisons but us women do not want to spend al the time training. Heck, if you cannot teach a man to pick up his own underwear what are the chances of teaching him anything more intricate?

The little girl was right, you ARE beautiful, mucked up eye and all. BTW, your daughter has stolen my dimples!! It is a sign of a potential Goofy person. Beware!! Have fun!!!

Thanks SG, Ellie got her dimples from me, mine just combine with the wrinkles now

Jo great update!!! I know what happens next!! Sort of.

Shhhhh I was trying to pay back certain people with a cliff hanger

Wow glad you got some sleep! What a nice start to the day! Love all the pics and it looks like you had a nice breakfast. I wish Belle had been at our dinner there. Mary Poppins looked beautiful as did your girls...I love that pic! Too bad about the Dream Team but you have two weeks! Keep your eyes pealed!

Thanks Cathy, I've just realised what a bad TR writer I am though because we never had a PM breakfast that morning and the Princess Breakfast, I'd better go edit that out

 

[pierresgirl]

Great start and I love all the pics! So was the food in Norway good? I have that meal planned as well but for the same reason you did. Belle!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

The secret to dimples without wrinkles is fat. No wrinkles and the dimples deepen.

That is TOO funny!!

 

[Disneyolic]

And here I am again...bringing up the rear! Thanks for that lovely butt shot of you and your DDs! It is a picture I shall cherish forever!!!!! At least your butt looks much better than mine.

And, your eye really does look fine. A bit bulgy in one but I think PhotoShop could certainly take care of that!

And how dare you leave off with another cliffhanger. This Trip Report Board is Cliffhanger City!

 

[TEminnie]

The other was 16 pins that I had purchased from an Irish e-bayer and she kindly sent them to CSR for me

Glad that worked out!

Side note to those of you who didn’t read my preTR before I went to WDW I had a cyst come up on my eye

<<insert pic of Jo as Pirate Queen Elizabeth Swann>>--someone go find that on the PTR...

it seemed Jasmine was eager to finish her shift even though it had just started

She's afraid of pirates....

But as we’re leaving Norway we spot Mary Poppins by the water with no queue

So..........does she sound British to real Brits?? Or is it like when I try to do a British accent (comes out just like the Indian telemarketers!)
BTW-- I love Mary too--she interacted a bunch with BA at Epcot and I enjoyed every minute!

Ellie refused to sit at the front with the kids This is the kid who danced on stage in front of hundreds of people in our local Panto last year, weird!

See--I get aggravated when my kids won't do something that I'm actually dying to do but no one will let me!

I like this ride although I definitely remember it being longer and going into another greenhouse Here’s the obligatory MH pumpkin photo

I like it too, but I miss the funny drivers.

2 dream team members telling the line ahead they had won ears, oh my goodness am I upset, it’s ridiculous isn’t it but I wasn’t happy that we had been so close, but

Yeah--but after you won the night in the Castle, this just was peanuts, right??

I must say I'm a little sorry that my girls aren't into the princesses anymore.

me too. and my niece likes Goofy and pirates better..


Good writing Jo and 30 Focker points for the kids wearing TFW lanyards......but where is yours??

 

[DisneyJo]

Great start and I love all the pics! So was the food in Norway good? I have that meal planned as well but for the same reason you did. Belle!

The pastries were really yummy and it was nice to have some fruit, I don't like cooked breakfast but it must have been nice as DH and DD's got another plate full

The secret to dimples without wrinkles is fat. No wrinkles and the dimples deepen.

Very good

And here I am again...bringing up the rear! Thanks for that lovely butt shot of you and your DDs! It is a picture I shall cherish forever!!!!! At least your butt looks much better than mine.

I knew you'd love that one

And how dare you leave off with another cliffhanger. This Trip Report Board is Cliffhanger City!

Well I was going to keep writing and then I thought now what would DM do

She's afraid of pirates....

So..........does she sound British to real Brits?? Or is it like when I try to do a British accent (comes out just like the Indian telemarketers!)

She sounded far more British than we did

Yeah--but after you won the night in the Castle, this just was peanuts, right??

Hey shhhhh I told you that in secret

Good writing Jo and 30 Focker points for the kids wearing TFW lanyards......but where is yours??

I was wearing mine it just annoyed my neck so I tied it to my shorts waistband, is that OK!!!!!



I've just finally finished adding borders and stuff to my photopass photos and ordered it, saved me $35 by pre ordering It should be here on the 10th

 

[jcc0621]

A day late and a dollar short, but I am here. Sorry, yesterday was Jimmy's Birthday so no Dising until late last night.

EPCOT looks awsome so empty. Great pics! Love the pics. Looking forward to more
