You crazy gals went straight back to POP? You should have taken a boat ride to relax here
Of course it may have been harder to get back to POP but the area is so relaxing and beautiful at night.
I don't know why, but we weren't thinking about going anywhere else - just to Fantasmic and back to Pop for some sleep.
MeMom, I truly love your pictures, because some of them just bring me right back there and make me want to be there so badly -- for some reason the picture of the years did it for me. I always love walking back to our room at Pop at night It is definitely our Disney home!
Villains in Vogue!!! That whole store is one of my favorite stores in Disney. Whenever we go to DHS I always have to poke around in there, especially because I love all the Nightmare Before Christmas stuff.
Oh, that stinks! I hope it doesn't come down to that because I know how you have been looking forward to and counting down to that summer trip!
I'm trying to cut some corners to be able to go in October. I looked at new dates in Southwest this morning, and if we were to go during my fall break, the flights are much cheaper. We'd still be there in the official month of Magic Kingdom's and Jill's birthdays, and it would probably be less crowded. We're driving down in July, so my thought was that maybe I could fly back two nights early and save that money toward the October trip. I'm just sloshing around ideas in my tiny little brain right now. I really like the October trips and the holiday trips and the spring break trips, so if I had to give up one or shorten one, I'd rather give up or shorten the summer one. Jill and John could still go in July. I already have one room paid.
Pop has a special place in our hearts, too. I do just want to jump right into the pictures sometimes.
We absolutely LOVE Fantasmic! It is such great show. I can't wait to see it again this year. We didn't even bother on our last trip b/c it was right after they started the cut backs and it was a nightmare getting in there. Have things calmed down now? How early did you have to get in line before the show started?
We were in line probably an hour before the show. It wasn't as bad as it is in the summer, because it wasn't as hot. It's such a good show that I don't mind waiting, myself, but it's harder when you have tired little ones and strollers.
Love your shopping pictures as always. You should work for Disney marketing because there are always things I want to buy after seeing your pictures!
Tell them to hire me. I'll take it.
Great shopping pics!
I definitely have to pick up Lightening McQueen Operation for my nephews.
That is cute, isn't it?
I thought of several of our littel DIS buddies when I saw it.
Great pool pictures! I see Brooklynn has the Rapunzel swim suit. Hannah is begging for that one, but she has a swim suit that still fits from last year, so I haven't got it for her. Maybe when she outgrows this one....
Jill, I must say congrats for having Bella in panties! I'm totally jealous! Owen is being a big hold out. He's not terribly interesting in using that potty and wearing his big boy underwear. I even got Thomas thinking that would be a sure thing, but nope! That is my goal for when school is out. He will be trained by the time he turns 3 in July! Hopefully!
Exciting news for us!!! We booked our July trip this week! We are staying at CBR from July 23-28. This trip has been all over the place. I'm thinking of doing a PTR....but that will have to wait until I'm done with my college classes because I need to focus on those. May 1 can't get here fast enough!!!!!
My kids were all well over two when they trained. Bella is very young, I think. I'm glad she's picking up on it, but she'll probably have some accidents because she's still so young.
Yay for booking your trip!
Doesn't it feel awesome???
Does Hannah have a birthday or other special occasion that she could get the swimsuit for?
Maybe Easter?
She neeeeds it, Mommy!
You know that's what us grandmas are for, right? We're on the side of the little ones against the practical, sensible (evil
) parents.
Hi Friends, we are back!
Lexi had a great birthday in NYC!
She had many shopping bags at the end of the day.
I'm glad we brought her, it was well worth it.
I'll get the shopping pics loaded as soon as I can...have some errands to do this morning and I have to work tonight.
Love coming home and seeing the POP and Fantasmic pics!
Good Girl Bella! It will be so great to be free of diapers!
I hope you don't have to skip the summer trip.
I am looking very forward to pictures! I know you guys had a great time.
Did you watch the Fantasmic videos? I love the music to the show.
Gotta love a little Fantasmic before work on a Saturday morning! Thanks! I'm glad Kay found her phone ok! Those CM's are smart folks! Sounds like you wild women had a fun night!
I'm Glad Lexi had a fun birthday! I love carrying a ton of shopping bags! It makes me feel very luxe...though their usually from the grocery store or
walmart!
When I was looking back at pictures, I thought it would have been cool if the phone had been in one of the pictures where she sat it down, and then we'd know just where she left it. She was trying to find a shirt for her daughter, I think, and she was holding them up. She put the phone down and got interested in the clothes and just forgot, I guess.
What a great way to end an evening!! It's been awhile since I have seen Fantasmic!!! DHS at Night is just stunning!!
Glad you found the phone!!!
Once again thanks for taking us shopping with you!!
It is an awesome way to end an evening! I get happy when the big boat full of Disney characters comes out.
I try to get a good variety of shopping pictures for all tastes.
I would be honored to meet you all if our October dates synch up.
You wild and crazy ladies heading out so late! I have never seen Fantasmic. That's definitely on the list.
The flights are way cheaper, and then I could save taking my three days off for another time.
I'll do whatever Jill is able to do, though.
Yes, put Fantasmic on your list. It's very cool.
I am glad that you got to see Fantasmic on your trip. We were not able to. I love that show and hope to see it on our next trip, whenever that may be. Are you spending the day with your girls?
I did spend the day with the girls. We went to Brooklynn's first soccer game this morning, then ate lunch and just hung out.
Ohhh, Fantasmic! I can't wait to see it again in June, we haven't seen it since 2009.
Hollywood looks so beautiful at night all lit up!
I especially like Hollywood at night, too, with all the lights.
June will be here before you know it!
Unless of course I get down there again in Oct and shorten my days in early Oct to just the 5k race. Chances of that happening is well, slim to none though. I'll have to wait until Dec. It will be OK for me to wait a few more months. 
We're taking a two year old on our next trip.
