I can't believe Brooklyn is big enough already to go on Tower of Terror!

I can't believe Brooklyn is big enough already to go on Tower of Terror!

I can't believe she's brave enough and I'm still a big chicken!

You just need a lovely French waiter to go on with you and hold your hand!

That's a very famous hippo, you know! He deserves to be fixed up very nicely.
Can't wait until we are able to have hippo meets again!

I bet they don't know how famous he is!!

I can't wait either!!

I'm so anxious to hear how Brooklynn handles ToT.

Oh, my phone is working again. Sadly, I lost all my numbers so if you or Jill can PM your numbers so I'll be able to catch up with you on Thursday.

Umm...well, actually....my DH and I decided at the last minute this morning to book a weekend trip over the 4th - we leave EARLY Friday morning and will be there until Monday the 5th! We'll be at POP too - maybe our little girls, Natalie and Kate, will run into Brooklynn and Bella at the kiddie pool! I know you don't know us - I've only posted on your reports a few times, but if we see you, we'll try to say hello!

See if any of the meets on the 1st, 2nd, or 4th are convenient for you. If not, maybe we will just cross paths at the kiddie pool. You should easily recognize Jill and the girls, so just come and introduce yourself, if you see them.

Plans as of today:

June 30 - arrive at Pop Century very late at night and go straight to bed

July 1 - Trent is coming to get Jill sometime in the morning for a grocery run. Probably Jill, John, and Trent will do that, and the girls and I will go down to the kiddie pool. The middle of the day is whatever Jill wants it to be, then a nap before we go to Old Key West at 4:00 for a DIS meet. If you are going to be a part of this -stace208, *dreamit*doit*, and dancin_princess, we are looking forward to seeing you there!

July 2 - Jill, Brooklynn, and I are going to have a big girl morning at 1900 Park Fare. We have never been there, and we thought it would be nice to have a special morning where Brooklynn could be the center of our attention. The tentative plan is that John will then meet us at Magic Kingdom with Bella and we will go ride rides. We will have another DIS meet that day with momof2TNboys. We will possibly be meeting up with snowbell before she goes into her Chefs de France ADR in the evening. If not, we will meet up with her tomorrow.

July 3 - Jill's choice. Meet up with snowbell at Magic Kingdom if we didn't hook up last night.

July 4 - Chef Mickey's breakfast at 10:35 (I think, or somewhere close to that). After that, we are going to Epcot, as Voices of Liberty and the Drum and Fife group will be doing a special show three times that day. We're going for the 12:30 show. I am planning to meet Debbie from the Be Our Guest Podcast there. That evening, we will be enjoying fireworks with Wigd and Shocker somewhere.

July 5 - Family Day - Trent is taking off, so we'll do whatever he wants to do with the girls. This will be the day that he and we can focus just on being together again for a while.

July 6 - Probably an Epcot day, since Jill and John have a LeCellier afternoon ADR. DIS meet with jeremysdisneymom, unless she just decides to come to the MSEP meet on the 9th. (Added Tuesday, 6-29: jeremysdisneymom thinks this day may be better for her than the 9th, and Wigd and Shocker said they wanted to meet her, too, so I have asked them if they are available for a Club Cool Bodacious Beverly Meet at noon or sometime close to that. Maybe they will be on today and we can confirm or change that, but I am putting on here tentatively. If they have ADR's at that time, we can change it later, but since we're running out of time, I wanted to add it to the list for now.)

July 7 - Either this evening or tomorrow evening, we will have an early dinner at Boma. The tentative plan is to go over to Saratoga Springs, where Wigd and Shocker will be staying, and let the girls play in the water while Jill and John run over to Downtown Disney to shop without strollers. They'll either come back over to SSR, or the girls and I will just meet them at the Marketplace bus stop to head back to Pop.

July 8 - If the Boma/SSR/DTD thing didn't happen last night, it'll happen this night. Which night this happens depends on Trent's schedule, because he wants to try to eat at Boma with us.

July 9 - Since we learned of the African festival that starts this day, we will most likely be at the Jammin' Jungle Parade, then go to the festival, then over to Magic Kingdom for our last night. I am fairly sure Poolrat plans to do the same, and possibly Wigd and Shocker. DIS meet in the evening. I think we've decided it'll be on top of the train station, and it looks like there might be several DIS families there.


July 10 - Last day. Unsure about how it will be spent, but we often like to take in a last bit of Magic Kingdom and/or Downtown Disney or both before giving it up. Hopefully, this day will be another family time when Trent can be with us a lot. There might be some tears when we say our final goodbyes, but we are hoping it won't be too long before we see him again, as he is planning to be at Brooklynn's birthday party in August.

So, we have some DIS meets, some requests for pictures and information to get for others, some things we want to put at the top of our own individual lists, and some special family time. It should be a good mix. I want to see a lot of the shows that I haven't seen in a while, and the Florida sun will probably help that to be a good thing for everyone. I will be doing some walking around on my own taking pictures while the girls sleep on some days, and I'll stay with the girls some days and let Jill and John go swim or ride rides or whatever. Ten days sounds like a lot, but when we start putting in all of these things, we could easily use a full 14 days.

Jill - fill in whatever you want to. I know that most of our stuff will be dictated by how the girls are doing, but if you know of anything we have talked about that I have missed, add it in.

Added information for the 6th.

i got on today excited for you that you were leaving tonight....then I got nervous because that means it is the end of the month at work...and I am not ready for that yet....then i realized it was only Tuesday! LOL!

If I don't talk to you before you leave...have a great trip!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Good morning, MeMom and Jill! Just one more day until you leave!!!

Seeing that tiger in surgery is just so cool, and I always like starting my morning with a giraffe picture!!!

 

[BrooklynnsMommy]

One more sleep!!!

I packed my clothes last night and gathered all of Brooklynn's hair stuff (bows, ponytail holders, tangle spray, etc). Tonight we have to pack all the last minute things contacts, glasses, medications, etc.

I work until 5:30 tonight and then tomorrow morning I open at 6:30. The girls and I will be headed to the house around noon after they finish lunch. John will hopefully already be there and we will pack the car and head to MeMom's. So excited that in 48 hours I will be waking up in Disney World!

 

[Lady Lallie]

WOO HOO!! One more sleep!!!

 

[MeMom]

This morning's pictures.

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

Love all the pictures! I bet it was neat to see a tiger in surgery! How cool.

Just one more night for you! I am sure you are sooo excited. I can hardly wait and we leave Thursday night.

I am good with a Dismeet on the 6th at noon in Club Cool. That would be great! Let me know if it changes.

[2xcited2sleep]

One more sleep!!! What a great feeling that must be! Yippee!!!!!

 

[MeMom]

I remember that pic of the tiger in surgery. So neat that you saw that!

Haha, the starfish cracks me up because all I can think of is NEMO!

and Davy Jones? All I can think of with him is that Brady Bunch episode.

Isn't the starfish cool looking?

I think of Marcia Brady's big Davy Jones crush, too.

I can't believe Brooklyn is big enough already to go on Tower of Terror!

She might be. I'm guessing its a 44 inch ride? I'm not sure if we've even looked. Jill probably has.

I can't believe she's brave enough and I'm still a big chicken!

If a little kid and a claustrophobic can do it, anyone can!

You just need a lovely French waiter to go on with you and hold your hand!

Oooohhh la la!

I bet they don't know how famous he is!!

I can't wait either!!

There's just not a better meeting place than the hippo. Rainforest Cafe lets us have a tiny touch of Disney in our meet.

I'm so anxious to hear how Brooklynn handles ToT.

Oh, my phone is working again. Sadly, I lost all my numbers so if you or Jill can PM your numbers so I'll be able to catch up with you on Thursday.

Maybe we can video ToT.

Yeah, we're gonna need that one more day, so don't so shorting us! I still have to go to the bank.

Good morning, MeMom and Jill! Just one more day until you leave!!!

Seeing that tiger in surgery is just so cool, and I always like starting my morning with a giraffe picture!!!

I'm excited about seeing my little girls tomorrow afternoon.

I need to find a better giraffe picture, but like I said, I'm just scrolling through and grabbing random things. I saw that and thought of you, naturally.

One more sleep!!!

So excited that in 48 hours I will be waking up in Disney World!

I called yesterday, and she does have us listed as assigned already and with connecting rooms. She did not know if they were refurbed, but at least you got your top wish.

WOO HOO!! One more sleep!!!

There's probably a lot to do today and tomorrow, huh?

It was very neat to see the tiger. I love tigers anyway, and to see one so close and doing something so out of the ordinary was cool.

Okay, we're good to go for the Bodacious Beverly Meet.
We'll give Jeremy and Brooklynn BIG glasses of Beverly.

One more sleep!!! What a great feeling that must be! Yippee!!!!!

It is a very good feeling. I am picturing myself taking my morning walks around Pop already. However, it does look like it's going to be kind of rainy, so I am going to get a good supply of ponchos. My umbrella is already packed.
