That is the truth. I knew it and yet I waited. Never again. Still hoping that wallet pops up this spring.
Live and learn.
And there's always ebay.
the flowers are really pretty! I bought my mickey mouse camera neck strap at the exposition hall. I used it all trip and still have not taken it off my camera. Its really nice when you are out and about and what to take a quick picture.
I got my nephew the fireman badge as my dad is a retired volunteer fireman so my nephew thinks anything fireman is cool! Caleb has no clue about it and loves choo choos like my FIL!
Speaking of Caleb...he is really starting to have more words and is learning his colors and shapes...and I think we have Mickey Mouse Clubhouse to thank for part of his learning. People do not want their kids watching a lot of TV but I think he has learned much of that because of that show...and my nephew learned spanish because of Handy Manny. If Caleb would watch Handy Manny more often he will probably pick that up! I think that is pretty good for not quite 2.5yrs. Now if they would only teach how to go to the potty we will be in business! LOL!
It's nice to see that Disney has had a nice educational influence on Caleb. I think Disney Channel does a good job with the little ones, but when they get a little older, they could be lacking on the educational (yet fun) aspect. I used to have Disney Channel on more, but now it seems like its the same 2-3 shows all the time. I bet they could come up with some shows for tweens and teens that would be educational in a fun way if they really gave it a little thought.
So apparently there is talk of a tsunami coming towards the north side of Puerto Rico. I don't know whether to believe it or not but please say a prayer for us.
I'll have to check the news. I hope all is well. Keep us posted!
That was me! Thank you so much!
I really apreciate you thinking of me and getting the info.
I am so happy she is still available.
I have been kicking myself since last year for not buying her.
I think she is a MUST HAVE for my collection!
Love this too! You always find the cutest stuff!
I guess I'm "too old" for one of these plates....right?
Poor little Brooklynn and the potty eppisode.
What a nice CM to try to make things right and give you the free stuff.
A bright new kitchen will be a wonderful gift to yourself!
Everyday it will make you smile!
You may be too old for that plate, but you have a child you could buy it for and borrow it from, right?
My kitchen will make me smile every day! I've moved everything out, and now I am just waiting for these guys to have time in their schedules to come. The painter seemed like he would be able to start after work one day, so I really expected him to already have been here. I hope they don't both call and want to come at the same time.
Whoa, things move fast around here! Just joining in, and I'm all caught up.
My daughters are both scared of those potties, and I can't imagine they'd handle it nearly as well as Brooklyn. So glad things got better for her.
I love those plates and those shirts! I haven't looked in that gift shop much, but I'll have to this year!
Subbing now.
It's a good gift shop. I think you'll like it, and they have very cute shirts for adults, not just kids.
We came home with this plate too for Lexi. We picked it up for her when she was sleeping in the stroller one night. The next day she saw them and kept asking for one. We told her maybe later and then surprised her when we got home. She asks to eat off it every night.
It is very cool to bring Magic Kingdom to your at-home meal.
Poor Brooklynn. Glad the carnations made her happy!
I am trying to remember all the things I need to buy, but I think I need to start a list. Loving the 40th anniversary hat pin and the Magic Kingdom plate. I really like all the Philharmagic and Small World shirts, too. Oh, too many things I want to buy already.
Now, if you can just remember to get them - unlike I did.
Day One I said I was getting that Christmas ornament and the ears, and I never did.
I will get one or ther other in July, though.
Exactly! I think that was actually the first time we had gone back to our hotel in the middle of the day on any Disney trip, minus my first trip at age 6 : I was heartbroken because according to the schedule I had, that was the only night I could see MSEP, but I really felt awful. I felt fine by the time we met up with you. Anyway, it turned out that they would have MSEP on Sunday, even though the calendar initially said they wouldn't, so I got to see it
It was really nice. But I didn't think we were gonna make it to the restaurant The plan was for my uncle, Josh, and Kazin to pick up me and our grandma and we were gonna meet my mom at the restaurant(she was coming from work). The restaurant is 40 minutes away(we only go once or twice a year for special occasions) and apparently no one in our car knew exactly how to get there My grandma hasn't driven there by herself in years so she only partially remembered. Josh didn't even know what town it was in We got there eventually We got there in time for our reservation, but my poor mom had been there for 20 minutes. The first thing I said to her was "You sent me in a car full of people who didn't know where they were going!!!!" We had a very nice dinner and had a good time. When they picked us up I gave Kazin the Mickey we got him in Disney. He was all excited and gave him a kiss on the nose
The adventure of getting to the restaurant was part of the fun of the evening, though, wasn't it?
Glad it worked out for you to see MSEP.
That Minnie Tinkerbell is just adorable!
Poor Brooklynn and the toilet! Reminds me of my niece Riley. We went to American Girl place in Chicago, and it was two things against her. One, they had the automatic flushing toilets. Two, they had those huge Dyson hand dryers that you stick your hands in. So she's in the stall next to me with my SIL, and all you hear her yelling is "NO MOMMY, NO MOMMY, NO MOMMY!!!!"
She definitely did not handle it as well as Brooklynn did.
I thought it was
CanadianWDWfan who wanted it, but I wasn't 100% sure.
Brooklynn got cleaned up and dried off and was on her way, happily carrying her flowers.
Oh my!!!!
I never thought of it like that!!! I've been collecting Disney snowglobes for about 15 years!!! I have tons of them!!
You just have to pretend there's no water! (except I guess for my Urrriel Gurl ones....and the Nemo ones....and one of my peter pan ones)
My DNiece has the Tinkerbell Minnie and she loves her to pieces!
I do not do snowglobes, but I will continue to suck it up long enough to take occasional pictures for you guys.
I finally got some time before sleep to catch up!! I love all of the pictures and it is getting me more excited for our family trip in July!! Bella and Brooklynn have both gotten so big!! I can't wait to read more about your trip!!! Hoping you had a good St. Patricks Day and that your kitchen is going well!!!
I also hope you don't mind me putting this in here but if you guys could say some prayers for my dad, I'd really appreciate it. I got news on sunday that he is very ill with Cancer which has already metastasized to many places and they aren't sure how long he has left, and today was his birthday so its a little rough here. Thank you!!!
Prayers for your family. My dad went through chemo and radiation and all that comes with that, and his death was really ugly. You are in my thoughts and prayers as one who knows the reality of that.
Praying fr your dad and your family.
Also praying for you Aunt Joan and her family too.
Thanks. It's nice that we can all share our joys and our burdens.
***************************************
We walked around Fantasyland a little, trying to decide what we would do and just soaking in the atmosphere.
A Dumbo picture, before it is moved away to become Dumbo x2, whenever that happens.
The new Tangled meet & greet. There were a lot of people lined up for this.
The castle show from a distance.
We were supposed to meet
Tink9721 toward the front of the park, but she texted and said they were going back to the room for a break. I texted back that we were going over there to meet Trent for dinner, so we'd see them there. She said that would work nicely.
But first, there would be a ride on Big Thunder Mountain for Brooklynn. Bella was tired, so Jill headed on over to Wilderness Lodge, and the rest of us made use of these.
Brooklynn loves this ride.
Pictures from the train, as we headed back to the front of the park.
Toontown is behind mesh walls.
We stopped for water for the steam engine.
Looking out to the entrance.
Later today: Wilderness Lodge, a DIS meet, Bubby, and food.
There's always food when Bubby is around. 
My grandma hasn't driven there by herself in years so she only partially remembered. Josh didn't even know what town it was in

I'm sure this sounds crazy to some folks, but I think I would really be missing out on a huge part of the Disney atmosphere without Disney transportation. I don't think I would ever want to drive to the parks. To me, the monorail, buses, boats, trains, etc. are part of what makes the experience fun. The first year that we went, we drove down but we never once used our car in 10 days except for the last day when we went to Seaworld. And I think it is just so much easier with kids too. With two little ones, I know Jill appreciates not having to even look at car seat buckles the whole time she is there!
now.
