Jill sure does look hot. SW dining plan looks like it might be worth it.
Looks like you packed a lot into one hot day. I bet you all slept hard when you got back.
Add me to the busy list. Trying to stop in when I can.
The food was good, and knowing you could get a bottle of ice cold water at any time all day long was a wonderful perk.
And we got to sleep hard at Kidani Village, which was very nice!
I feel like I am so out of the Distown loop.
Love these.
That's it...we MUST go back to Sea World. I can't believe all the new stuff that has been added since we were there. I love the manatees and turtles.
And
for getting through the shark tank...that's awesome!
Jill looks beat from the heat.
You should go and take Avery and Cayley. They would love it!
It is still hard to believe I went through that tank. Looking down at the ground the whole time probably really doesn't count, but I did it anyway.
Awwww, Sophie looks so cute when the carousel started!
Oof. Okay, so that rope climb. We had one at Six Flags, and let me tell you. When kids got stuck at some point in the ropes, or got to scared to make it to the top.....we had to climb out there to help them. NOT my favorite job.
The shark tank looked pretty cool. I can see how it could be a bit overwhelming.
I love Sophie's expression in that first picture. I laughed at her expression in the second one.
The girls enjoy those climbing jungle things, but they don't get scared or stuck. They climb up and slide down, climb up and slide down, and are ready to do it a dozen times over at any given time.
That is just what I was thinking for Charlotte's birthday - probably an overnight, maybe 2 nights at Disney either the weekend before or after her birthday. Then, the other weekend, cake and ice cream at my parents' house for the family. That way she gets the best of both and I don't have to try to throw together a big party in the next few weeks. And, any family who doesn't go to Disney with us will still be able to celebrate her birthday with her (my parents will most likely join us, but my mother-in-law definitely will not) so no one can complain about being left out.
I really want to make Charlotte's cake but I don't know if I am quite skilled enough. She loves to play tea party, so I was thinking a tea party cake, but I wanted to give it a Disney twist so I'm thinking of replicating a Mad Tea Party tea cup for the cake topper. I see lots of fondant play in my near future - and then I'll most likely cave and have Publix make something
Sounds like a perfect birthday plan.
I look forward to seeing the cake, no matter who makes it!
Looks like another fun day! And congrats for braving the tunnel!!
The girls are just too cute, as always.
I am really considering adding a Sea World day this December/January trip - it looks like a blast!!
The Arizona trip was fun - it was a pretty quick there & back work trip but it was very nice. I'll have to head back to AZ again, for pleasure next time. It's a lovely place. We didn't have much downtime but I sure did wish I'd remembered my swim suit -- that pool looked SO inviting.
AND I also missed a milestone - under 100 days until the NYE trip!! Woo hoo!! Cannot wait!! When does your party arrive, MeMom? We get in Sunday mid-afternoon.
Well, the weather certainly should be more pleasant in December than it was in June.
We arrive on Saturday morning, the 28th.
It took me a while, but I finally caught up! Thanks for sharing!

You came at probably the worst time ever in our trip report history. With how busy real life is right now, things are very, very, very slow on the report. We are glad to have you here, though!
That fruit & water looks so refreshing!!
Yay you did it. MeMom went through the shark tank!! Good job!
Aw love those cute chubby baby legs.
Seeing these pics really makes me want to go to Sea World again. I will have to plan it for a future trip. We have not been there since 1999. I think it's about time!!
It was so nice to have the fruit and water. I think we got strawberries and orange slices twice, but we got water bottles probably about five times!
I did go through the tank!
Jill and the girls bought a reward for my bravery later on.
Hope you get that Sea World trip!
Congrats on making it through the shark tunnel! I remember going through it with my dad when I was a kid because my mum was too afraid to go in! You must have felt like you were inside a creepy shark snowglobe! . Just teasing, it's awesome that you were able to conquer your fear and somewhat enjoy it!
I will confess, I did NOT enjoy it.
I did it, and I am glad I was able to snap the pictures, but there was no enjoyment in the journey.
And now that you have mentioned the 's' word - snowglobe - I might end up having nightmares tonight!
Thanks a lot!!!
Oh wow, Jill looks SO hot! I've never been to Orlando in the summer, I don't know if I could handle it.
The good thing about the summer trips, for me anyway, is that I can usually stay longer, so that makes them pretty awesome. You do have to work around the heat. We go out early, spend midday at our resort swimming and chilling out or maybe doing some resort-hopping, and then we go back out in the evening. Even with that plan, though, it is hot enough. We have sweated our way through a Fantasmic line slurping quickly-melting ice cream more than once.
We just have to go to Sea World!! I grew up in San Diego, so Sea World was a summer staple for us. This park, however, seems to be twice as big!! Love all the pictures MeMom! Except the one where poor Jill looks like she's ready to collapse. Sophie's little legs are cute, though.
Hooray for getting through the shark area! I knew you could do it!
I would love to go to the San Diego Zoo once in my lifetime. I doubt it will ever happen, but I have always wanted to go.
That fat-legged baby girl has croup tonight. She is not a well baby.
Hopefully the steroids the doctor gave her will help her get well immediately.
Things like that don't normally bother me, but the couple of times I have done them I am looking up and around so much I always feel a little disoriented and out of balance. 
Wahoo! I finally got a chance to get all caught up again! Take your time with your wonderful trip report. I know Ill keep reading, no matter how long it takes. Love being a part of your trips!
