Wow! I am in awe of those empty park pictures!!! Where were all the crowds on that Fourth of July morning???
Love the pics of the girls with Mickey and Minnie! They are so cute!
Jill, too funny about being recognized from the DIS! That just proves you are a celebrity around these parts!
Still sleeping, I guess. But not for long. It did get more crowded, as you will see int he pictures as we are leaving the park.
I am also amazed at the empty park pictures. Wow. Guess that rope drop thing really is worthwhile!
Fantasyland looks so different with all the walls up. I know it's going to be great when it's all finished but I hope I'm not disappointed when I see it next month. I will just have to hop up on a bench and see if I can see over the walls.
How sweet that Brooklyn took Simba and Nala on the rides with her. I'm sure they were having an excellent trip!
Jill- you are a major celebrity! Congratulations. That is very cool.
Rope drop is definitely worth getting up, in my opinion.
Bench hoppers, unite!
She loves her stuffed friends. She added Maximus, the horse from Entangled, to the group during our Atlanta weekend.
That is a funny story, Jill. Your family is so famous. That is cool that you got recognized.
I can't believe how empty the park is!
Great family picture with Mickey and Minnie.
Did you end up going to the other
Disney Store today?
OOOH opening ToonTown how fun!!!! I really love all the attention to detail Disney gives there stuff!!! I know I for one am going to miss ToonTown a bit, but I'm very excited for what is going to happen with Fantasyland!!
Awww...I always love the pictures of the girls interacting with characters...too cute!!!! Bella reaching for the ears....Brooklynn's award winning smile...awesome times!!
I wish they would
add to Toontown. They could add Minnie's Bakery, a grocery store, a jail for fun 'lock-up' photo ops, expand Pete's Garage into a garage and not just restrooms...
MeMom has gone senile again and has become impatient. I have the ToonTown opening loaded but I am loading the video and pics from the Tink meeting which is the reason we opened ToonTown.
I didn't have one picture of the Tink meet, so that's why I skipped over it. From now on, when I am filming, I need to remember to take a picture, too, to remind myself.
I'm here and getting caught up again.
I love the picture of Bella trying to get Mickey's ear.
Sorry you had to leave WDW, but glad to have you back among us!
Good luck at going back to work tomorrow.
Great pictures! I can't believe how empty it is!
Jill or MeMom- What time are you arriving at ToonTown to make it for Rope Drop? My DD3 and I will be arriving at RD at Magic Kingdom on October 19 and hope to do Dumbo, Peter Pan, and Pooh before going over to meet Tink. Do you think we will have time to get that in and still make the RD? Thanks so much!
As Jill said, you should be more than fine. We'll be in Epcot on the 18th. If you're there, let's try to cross paths.
That Bella is quite the little sneaky sneakerton trying to grab Mickey's ears when he wasn't looking!
I do believe that she knows that when she tells them bye bye they will go away and that's it from them!!
Brooklynn is such a good sport about all of the attention paid to Bella! I really think she wants her little sissy to have a good time!
Brooklynn does a great job of being patient when the characters are not focused on her. I love watching her expressions on the videos. I watch them over and over and just want to give her big smooches!
I did that on the last trip. You see I was soooo smart. I have 2 cameras, I used one for the great zoom and the other is a bit more portable. I had them both out ready to go with continuous shooting. Big plans I tell you.
Well the ride starts off, and my dumbo was stuck mid way. I can still see so I start shooting while we cirlcle over that way. I finally get my Dumbo to go all the way up and continue shooting. I get off and try to look at some pictures. CLOUDS. If you shoot with both hands you cannot see what you are shooting. I have not had time to go through all the shots but the last rounds were pretty shots of the sky.
I'm planning on a Dumbo ride, for sure. I may video and let Jill take regular shots. Between us, maybe we can spy some new things going on over those walls.
That is too funny about seeing someone from the Dis. North AL really represents here! I thought I saw you at Chick-Fil-A once but then "you" walked out with a boy and a little girl that looked like Bella and I realized it wasn't. I would have felt silly.
Great pictures MeMom. I still can't believe this is 4th of July!
Yep, 4th of July. Seems so very long ago!
Jill, were you at Chick-Fil-A without
Wigd????
Wanted to come out of lurkdome and say that I have been enjoying your tr. I read some of the May tr as well. Memom, you take wonderful pictures- truly feel like I am there right along with you. Jill, your girls are such cuties. How lucky you both are to go to WDW so many times.
I have to say because of your trips it has put Pop Century first on my value resort list and we will be staying there for our first night in october. Can't wait, I do think my kiddos will love it there! I know you are going in October as well, what are your dates?
If you would like to meet my family, please check out the link in my signature.
We have been very fortunate to have had so many trips over the past few years. I sure loved going five time in one year, but I think three is going to be more the norm. If Trent was not down there, it might even be going back to less than that.
We'll be arriving late on the 15th and leaving in the afternoon of the 19th. Jill could only get two days away from work.
Thanks for joining us. We'll check out your report.
Looks like a great morning at Magic Kingdom! I love rope drop for that reason! So much is accomplished so quickly! I am impressed that you guys were able to get to the fairies and to Mickey with such a short wait!
Brooklynn is a champ of a big sister doing her thing and letting people fawn over Bella. Such a grown up girl!
I am so proud of sweet Brooklynn when we are with the characters. In real life, patience is not one of her top virtues, but when waiting for her turn in Disney World, she does a fabulous job. And when waiting for Jill to try to get Bella situated, she just stands quietly and waits. Such a good sister!
In a few years... it's all over!
We've actually made it to the park before rope drop for CP and BBB ressies, and just after rope drop. Oh well, guess we're just going to have to keep trying. 
Congrats on opening ToonTown Brooklynn! Very Cool!
