Geen Yight - She's Out of Sight: A Trip of Leaps and Bounds

[xoktenox]

Have fun at the birthday celebration.

How long will it be until you guys move? You are going to Florida, is that right, where one of you has relatives?

The birthday party was fun, Chris' family is very good to me.

We're planning on moving a few months after we get married. Our wedding is October 28, 2012 so we'll be heading to FL at the beginning of 2013. And yes, Chris has family on the West coast of FL.

The interactive Disney store looks like a lot of fun. That's similar to the one in Times Square. I love Bella's hair sprigs

Thanks for posting those pictures from the DIS meet! It's always so much fun seeing everyone and hanging out for awhile!

You wouldn't know it from the pictures, but my two were the worst behaved.

Chelsea decided to have that tone of voice with me during lunch which prompted me to have lean over and whisper in her ear. Then, Chelsea and Connor kept at each other which included shoving the table back and forth! Afterwards when I said something in the car, Chelsea said, "But I was super polite to everyone else." Sigh. I was only half-kidding when I asked Anita if there was room for me in the backseat of their car.

We'll see if they can be nice to each other on our beach trip. Supposedly they made a pact last night to get along. Anyone want to take bets on how long THAT lasts??? I am placing my money on Macon.

I didn't notice anything going on, so don't worry about anyone thinking a thing of it. Those of us who have raised kids, and especially those who have lived with teenagers, can empathize with any trials you have and will have.

I hope you guys are already having a nice time in your cute little cottage just hanging out, maybe going out to eat somewhere fun tonight, etc.

Good Save between the two of you!!! LOL!! Although my next trip is right over the horizon...one more sunset here in TX!!!! I am very excited about October and finally getting to meet you and one of your little ones!!!!! I can't wait either!!! I can understand not letting her know I'm just like her I want to know if the day is here yet or not LOL!!!!

I bet you guys can't wait for your trip to get here!!

We'll probably tell Brooklynn sometime in September. That will get the summer trip, her birthday, and the start of school behind us. Talking about the trip and letting her be in on it will be something to look forward to when I am in the thick of another new school year.

Love the Dis meet pictures. Looks like it was a great group! The new store looks like fun. I will have to check it out next time I visit family.

Jill - precious videos of the girls

I was thinking of you yesterday. You must have caught my thoughts. The store didn't have as much interactive stuff as I thought it was. The articles I read built it up to be something just short of a day in a Disney park, and it was far from that. It was fine, though, for a Disney fix.

Chances are good that there won't be a spare inch left in their car on the way home to fit them in She might have to leave them behind by default! I saw the picture on face book and it looked like it was packed! Add on all the purchases they might (will) make in Orlando and on board the ship and they'll either need to rent another car to bring them home or strap poor Baylor on the roof

Jill said they'll be towing a U-Haul behind them on the way back. I think she'll end up shipping some stuff home. We may have to let Baylor stay here for a while so they'll have room for all of their stuff. We can return him on the Christmas trip.

If it makes you feel better I didn't even notice! Good to see you guys. And to finally meet the infamous Connor in the flesh. I didn't make a big deal to him about meeting him b/c I know how boys that age are....didn't want to embarass him.

I didn't either, Dawn, but when it is your own kid, you think all eyes and ears see it all. I'm glad you could add in to help Jackie know it was all good.

Glad you enjoyed them. They are growing so fast. I was just watching video from last year's trip and Bella was such a baby then.

I'm picturing Chevy Chase up in the attic watching reel-to-reels and crying.

Bella calls them 'tigtails'. Later, she took one out and left one in. She looked like a crazy girl!

2013 will be a big year - Kristen becoming a Floridian and Fantasyland being finished.

Jill said they'll be towing a U-Haul behind them on the way back.

I mentioned that to Marc and he quickly informed me that they don't have a hitch So you may get Baylor after all!

 

[punkin413]

I just had to go somewhere and point this out. And I don't have time to reply on my thread right now so I figured you guys could appreciate my excitement. Take a gander at my ticker, would ya? That little baby says we're inside of 4 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pooh'smate]

It sounds like you all had a lovely Dis meet. I really want a set of those plates and silverware but they don't sell them online and we have no Disney store.

Well, at least I am used to the mega appetites of boys, so the increase in the grocery bill won't be a surprise.

Hooray for Dawn!
We are happy to cheer with you!


***************************************


Not know whether we had ice cream or not, I will travel on.

I have ridden Astro Orbiter one time. I don't think it was called Astro Orbiter then, though. I keep saying I will ride again, but we just never seem to get around to it.

In Tomorrowland, some wear tie-dye, some wear stripes, and some wear fur.

It is pretty much a given that we will visit Buzz at least once each trip.

Since Jill likes the competition, I suggested she ride with Kay, so they could really do battle, and I would take the girls.

Brooklynn has a big time shooting, shooting, shooting!

Jill, the serious winner, and Kay, the happy loser.

The Space Rangers in my cart.

Trapped!

We caught a little of the castle show.

I will admit my Disney geekness here. I just love it when I see all the Princesses dancing with their fellas.

It makes me smile so big. I think it is so sweet, and it is when I feel that the fairy tale dreams of finding that very special one really are real for some people.

The pretty dresses, the music, the way the guys and girls look at each other, even though I know they are only acting - I love it all!

And when Mickey tells Minnie she has always been his Princess, I love that, too!

That's it for now.

I got the plates online, are they all gone?

 

[CreightonsMomma]

In all the years I have been going to Disney World I have never ridden Astro Orbiter. I don't even know why I haven't ridden it. I need to make that a priority.

I will be there for one day and one day only on Saturday. But unfortunately we will be at Hollywood Studios so I wont get the opportunity to ride it then. I am taking my Star Wars fanatic nephews for SWW. They have no idea that they are going yet.

I will ride it in October for sure!

I love Buzz Lightyear. But for some reason I ALWAYS get the broken gun. Or maybe i'm just not good at shooting.


Loved the DIS meet pics. Looks like you all had a great time. I wanted to buy the plates and silverware but instead I opted for the mickey head serving bowl. I really need to just go and get them. I'm going to regret it if I don't get them.

 

[nowellsl]

For those of you that got the silverwear (or saw it), does it have anything on it? Or is it just plain different colored handles? Thanks!

Oh, and could you share the price if you remember?

 

[sunny_stace]

Holy cow I missed a lot in a few days! We had a nice little hard drive crash on Friday But my lovely teenage cousin fixed it up and it seems to be running ok again, and I didn't even lose everything!

I'm glad you guys were able to have a nice Dis-meet! Those Atlanta Disney stores look pretty fun! I love the interactive features! How fun! I too want the Mickey plates and silverware! Twice now I have almost purchased them and keep setting them down in the last minute. Maybe when I get to the USA in the summer I'll change my mind again You should have asked Anita for her enabling skills!

I love the videos of Bella and Brooklyn singing! They are both getting so big but they get even more adorable too! So cute!

I too love watching the princes and the princesses dance together during the castle show! I usually just stand there with a big, giddy grin on my face through the whole thing really. I guess it gives me faith that eventually I might find my own prince And I'm very excited to soon get another spin with Buzz Lightyear! It's my goal this year to beat DBFF at least once! But she is serious (like Jill) about it and I'm just not that competitive...it's all fun and games for me!

Hope everyone is having a lovely Memorial Day!

I laugh because I think it's starting to look all dingy! I have an appointment to get it cut and re-highlighted the first week of June. I got it highlighted back in early April but my hair grows pretty fast so it's looking kinda ghetto right now. But thanks for the compliment!

I noticed your hair right away too! I'm getting my hair cut and coloured on the weekend and when I saw yours I said "see! Thats how I want mine!" I think it looks great! Not at all dingy! Very cute!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

Cute videos of the girls singing!

I checked the Disney Store online for the pitcher the other day but they were sold out of everything including the plates...the sale was too good for me to not take a look.

...you are too nice of a friend to keep Wig'd's loot!

Brooklynn will be so happy when the secret Oct. trip is revealed!!!

...I'll join in your happy dance Punkin ......I'm excitted to reach the 100 day mark in a couple weeks.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY MY AMERICAN FRIENDS !!!

I only see the black ones on Disneyshopping now.

If you go to Toy Story Midway Mania, say hi to Ed from all the DISers!

What a great surprise for the nephews!

For those of you that got the silverwear (or saw it), does it have anything on it? Or is it just plain different colored handles? Thanks!

Oh, and could you share the price if you remember?

There are tiny Mickey heads on them. I texted Anita to ask if she recalled the cost. She reminded me that I had them right here in the house.

Duh!
They were $24.50 regular price. At the Atlanta store, they were 40% off.

I do not need Miss Anita Wigd's enabling! I would be in BIG trouble!

So glad you got your computer fixed. We must have our computers!

Brooklynn loves to sing, so I guess Bella has no choice but to learn all the songs as Brook sings them over and over and over. She sings 'Old McDonald', too, but the only animal on her farm is a chick. She sings, "And on that farm he hadaschick (all one word)" every time. It's just a 'schick' farm.

Just don't tell her about that whole brick exchange thing.

Brooklynn will have a great time being spoiled in Disney World. We'll pretty much let the little girls dictate whatever we do.

I'm glad I got the plates while I could. I'll be sorry I didn't get the rest of it, but I am glad I snagged those.

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

I'm glad you got the plates too!

I expect to see them in pics sometime in the future...showcasing some good ol' southern Memom eats!

Maybe they will make there debut at Brooklynn's birthday....

I won't tell Wig'd but she may read it on here....

I saw that Disney put out a room discout but it ends early October.
...that your discount offer is next.

 

[k_reile]

are the black mickey plates on disney online only for 1 plate not like the 4 in your set?

 

[nowellsl]

They look a little thinner, the ones in the set are super thick. And yes, it's for one.

 

[punkin413]

And when Mickey tells Minnie she has always been his Princess, I love that, too!

 

[Poolrat]

What is that guy in the back doing????

Almost looks like he is preventing/fixing a wardrobe malfunction.

Thanks! Now I'm gonna have to find a Disney Store

 

[TCKK]

The DISmeet sounded and looked like a fun time. One of these days I'd like to join in on one with you all. Bella and Brooklynn were so cute in their videos. Loved seeing the pictures of Buzz Lightyear. That's another favorite of ours.
