I am working on one foe DD9 for our trip;hope it turns out half as good as yours!
Yeah, it did NOT bode well!Hahaha, you know it's a bad sign when the little has a grumpy face early in the morning.Look out!
We do love ToT - it was sad not to be able to go on it again and again like we did on our last trip
It's so true! It seemed like such a great idea, but then I felt like I was constantly asking her to stop messing with it and move along.We bring the misting fans for the kids too, but you are so right! They end up being more of a deterrent because they mess with them so much!
Thanks! I bet yours will turn out great! It really is a lot of fun to have something different like that.Awful heat!
Love the autograph book
(To be fair, DD only said this because her BFF actually does like this - I am happy to report that DD does NOT eat carrots and ketchup.) Our server thought it was pretty funny, however, and quickly obliged DD:
), and she ate up every bite of it. So I know that hotdog must have been BAD.
I wasnt very hungry at this point so decided to try something that I wouldnt normally order just to see how it tasted here.
AC and food will do it every time
so funny!! I love her selfies--they look just like the pictures I find on my phone after my 6 year old has it. They crack me up!
Can't wait for more.
what a DELIGHT Willow is ! One day we will meet and I have to get a photo lesson from her I just can't seem to get the " selfies" thing but oh the Goofy selfie & booty shot so real just like the rest of us
So true!! But will they sustain that improved mood after we reemerge into the flaming heat????Glad moods improved
She certainly enjoys herself, doesn't she?? Baby goofy's booty?!?
These kids are so funny, aren't they???She has ALWAYS loved to take pics of food.
Thanks! However you found it, I'm glad you did!
So glad you're here - thanks for reading along!Hey there, just stumbled on to your trip report and couldnt stop reading!! The pics are so cute and the descriptions are hilarious!!
Right??? I about choked with laughter when I saw that!Wait! Now Baby Goofy's doing selfies???
HBD definitely improved our moods - at least while we were in there........
That's so funny!
I think I'm extra-grossed out by DD's plate because I personally hate ketchup! "Flat cheese" - I LOVE that!!!
Willow will eat parmesan, feta, etc., but she will not touch American. I am the same way - that stuff grosses me out! 
They really shouldn't be allowed to call it "cheese"!Yay that things are happy again! I'm with you on American cheese. I don't think they should call stuff cheese. I like HBD too. My favorite thing there is the Grapefruit cake, but that probably isn't something you should eat. Might be a little gluten in there.
I'm sure she would love to give you some tips. Oh, thanks for that! I struggle with it because I know people will judge, but it's reality. Not every moment of eery day is perfect, you know?I tell you in all seriousness, what a pleasant change to " meet " someone who doesn't sugar coat things Bad family moment, melt downs, etc you admit it in a report
And I always figure if we are all honest about that, we won't all be walking around with complexes that we are the only non-perfect family, you know? I may be 53 years older than her but get me to the characters and I " un-grumpy " too It's all about the characters
You are so right! Both of us are always in a better mood after a character meet. No worries! It's hard to keep up with everyone, isn't it?
Oh, thanks so much! We sure did have a lot of fun with the characters are our personalized pages.
We have enjoyed the parks at night a few times, but it certainly isn't something that we can do a LOT yet. That's one of my favorite things about the Disney parks - as children get older, there are always new things to experience together. I hope we will make these trips together throughout DD's lives.
Well, I can't guarantee it was her favorite park by the end of this trip. But it is definitely one of her favorites - and ToT will likely always be a favorite for her. It's practically an obsession for her to ride as many times as possible. That's so funny!
Actually, now that you mention it, I hated ALL dressings as a kid, so maybe it's not as odd as I thought. I just always hear of parents giving kids ranch to get them to eat veggies. So true! We were both feeling a lot happier while sitting at HBD.I'm so pleased Willow perked up, we all need some air con and rest at WDW
The child can't pass up a mirror or a camera!I'm loving Willow's photos, so cute
) This is something we probably never would have stopped to enjoy had the park not been hot and crowded - we would have been too busy rushing off to other things. So this was a wonderful end to what had been kind of a FAIL park experience. 
). And by about 3:30, she was out cold.
And lucky for you, you got in some reading time.
Sorry!
You know I'm going to forget that we even did the cruise if I don't get this thing moving along! I can't stand having it hanging over my head either - too much pressure! Thanks!
SWEET! I can't wait to chat about it and all the other ADRs obsessively for months on end!!!!And, AP is officially on the list for our spring trip! I'm sure we'll discuss that at length later though
You know, you're right - I didn't really realize how long we were there until I was looking at the times on the pictures. We were there quite a while, and accomplished almost nothing!2PM to go back to the hotel isn't bad. Thats a full day in the park in the August heat. It seems like a few selfies can turn the mood around.
I got a LOT of reading in on this trip - it was AWESOME! Oh, thanks for reading! That was such a fun trip!I read your Alaska TR yesterday and I was laughing out loud. Mostly because there were some spots that sound SOOO much like trips that we have been on. Trying to make sure everyone is having a good time is exhausting! I had to laugh when you were describing the boxed wine in your carry-on. We are going on a car trip in a couple of weeks and that is on my packing list - box of wine! Boxed wine has come so far (especially since the boxed wine of my college days) in the last few years and travels so well.
I remember the old, what was it called, Franzia or something? Holy cow - that stuff was vile! They really do have some good ones now, and they are ideal for packing in a cruise carryon. Don't think for a second that I didn't order a box from Garden Grocer to take on this August's cruise. Yeah, I don't even try to read except when traveling anymore.
But I got to read SO MANY books on this trip - it was phenomenal! I read on the plane, I read in the room when Willow napped and at night, and the cruise - lots of reading time!
