Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho! It's Off to Celebrate We Go!--LAST UPDATE!!! PG 62 ENJOY!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I hate it when trip reports come to an end :(. However, what a way to end your trip with a fabulous breakfast at Park Fare! The Mad Hatter was too funny trying to get Megan back to Wonderland, and I love his comment about trading her for the other Alice. :rotfl:

Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip with us, Jen!!! I can't wait until you convince Tom to go back and start your PTR! :goodvibes;)
 
That sounded like one of the best character breakfasts EVER! I'm so glad you had a wonderful trip!
 
Great trip report. You ended with the perfect breakfast experience. The pictures of Megan once again put a smile on my face.

I am so glad you enjoyed it!!! What a wonderful breakfast it was!!! I will keep you posted on any news on a new trip....you know how he can't seem to say "No" to those big blue eyes of Megs!!!! ;)

We had such a great trip Heidi!!! It was so much fun....put that one on a to-do list sometime soon!

Thanks so much sweetie!!!! We had a great trip, and the breakfast was definitely the way to end it all!!!! Thanks for reading along!!!
 

What a great way to end your trip. I love Megs smile, it makes me smile just seeing it. I love her Alice outfit. Where did you find it? I hope you make it back this year.
 
Awww! So sad that it's over! That just means that there will be another trip someday! :woohoo:
What a wonderful trip that you had! It is a great feeling when you can get rid of the stroller!
 
Since I have been lurking for a while now....


I just wanted to say thank you so much for posting your whole trip report! Although I hate seeing them end, it is kind of nice to see them tied up in a bow - and what a beautiful bow it was!!

So glad you guys had such a great trip!! :)
 
1900 Park Fair sounded like the perfect way to end a perfect trip! How cute that the Mad Hatter grabbed Megs and played it up to the hilt! I love it!!!

I love the final thoughts and the favorites, so nice to end on that reflective note!
 
Jen I loved it! We do have to meet up soon... do you have kings island passes again?

What are the summer plans... CA still?

It was a great way to start the trip home. I know what you mean about her smile.....what do you think it is like living with her and seeing that beautiful smile everyday!!! HEAVEN ON EARTH!!! :goodvibes Her Alice outfit was a birthday present from her beloved Grandma Jo (My Mom) for her birthday last year. We got the entire outfit at the Disney Store in our local mall.....sadly, it closed two months ago. Try looking for it on Disney's shopping websites....even at the Disney Outlet site. You might even find one on eBay! It is even prettier in person!

Awww! So sad that it's over! That just means that there will be another trip someday! :woohoo:

Me too!!! Megan and I are hoping for another trip REALLY soon!!! We worked on Tom a LOT tonight at dinner.....I think we are definitely making progress. More on that in a bit.....

We LOVED being stroller free!!! Getting on and off the buses without one is such a treat!

Thanks for lurking along, and an even BIGGER HELLO for saying "hi!" You are so sweet for thanking me for writing the report....I truly do enjoy rehashing our memories through these reports. I print them all out to save so that we can savor them forever!!! The "beautiful bow" comment brought a sweet smile to my face and a tear to the corner of my eye....you are so sweet!!! THANK YOU TOO!

We had a wonderful trip, and I am so honored to be able to share it with so many wonderful people like you!

The Mad Hatter was PERFECT, and watching him run around the restaurant with Megs in tow, was such a sight! Everyone couldn't help but laugh watching what was happening, especially when they saw her cute face lit up in giggles and laughter!!!!

I really made such an effort to jot down good notes along the way, but made sure to always reflect back each day on the moments I didn't want to forget and would remember the most. I am SO glad I did this. I know that from now on---TR or not---I will ALWAYS do this at the end of each night because it is such a great way to savor the true magic that happens at WDW!!!

Jen I loved it! We do have to meet up soon... do you have kings island passes again?

What are the summer plans... CA still?

Thanks Laura!!! A meet would be great....we should get all us NKY/Cincy gals together sometime...wouldn't that be fun!!!!! We do have passes again, so hopefully some time this summer we can meet up either at the park or the water park!!!

CA had to be cancelled because Tom is getting yet another promotion and major job change. There is going to be QUITE a bit of transition going on this summer for him, and therefore he would not be able to take the time needed for us to do that trip. We are in the process of discussing a trip to WDW at some point before the end of this year. We have a lot to work around---Megan starts first grade this year, Tom's big job change, and the very real possibility that I will be going back to teach in the fall. Right now we could possibly make an early August trip before she goes back to school, a short October trip during a long extended weekend she has, a short trip over Thanksgiving break, or a trip during Christmas break. Right now, I think the August trip looks the best on paper....but we will see.


I have a feeling it isn't only Megs blue eyes that Tom has a hard time saying no to! :goodvibes

That in combo with her smile??? Yeah, that is pretty darn IMPOSSIBLE to refuse!!! :rotfl:







Keep all fingers crossed folks, I think Megan and I are definitely having some affect on Daddy. After her soccer practice tonight, we stopped to pick up a bite to eat, and Megan started talking about our return to WDW almost right away. She got him talking about our favorite parks and rides, and he got right into the conversation right away. He started bringing up some new rides that she should be able to tackle now that she is a little taller, and even suggested that we could take in a water park on our next trip. All VERY positive movement towards finalizing our plans....so STAY TUNED!!!! Hopefully we will know SOON!!!! Fingers crossed!!!! :goodvibes
 
If there was a smiley face that rubbed his hands together and said bruhaahaa!!! You sneaky, sneaky little woman!!! :lmao: Congrats to Tom and his promotion! I just wish my DH could find a job. Who would guess that an attorney would have such a hard time finding a job. Oh wait! We live in Ohio, that's right. ;)
 
I have enjoyed reading your TR very much!! Your DD is so lucky to have a Mommy who cares so much about her :goodvibes

We ate at 1900 Park Fare when we stayed at the Grand Floridian, but it was dinner. I would love to try breakfast!! Gotta love Mary ;) SO CUTE that the Mad Hatter had some fun with your DD. Love those moments! GREAT TR!

PS: You should join my TR too :thumbsup2

I'm telling you what....I feel like I have been working on him so much, it is WEARING ME OUT!!!! :rotfl: He has yet to agree to dates....I'm not sure what he is waiting for, but I have obviously not hit the button that will make him stop and jump on it. I guess I need to do some more deal searching!!!! Thanks for the congrats to Tom....this is going to be quite the interesting summer, but we will certainly get right through it!!! I am sending some good luck and prayers to your hubby that he finds a job soon!!!! :hug:

I am so glad you have read the TR....I have enjoyed writing and reliving that glorious trip with all of you!!! We are so blessed and fortunate to have each other, and we all give thanks for that everyday!!! I am one lucky Mommy!!!!

We have done the dinner in the past too....we LOVED the Stepmother and Stepsister...they were GREAT!!!! We wanted to try the breakfast out so that we could see Mary and Alice, and were SO happily pleased with it!!! The Mad Hatter was SO much fun!!!!

I will definitely hop on over there! Thanks for the invite!!!





Hello once again my lovely TR readers!!! I just wanted to share a little about our WONDERFUL Sunday that we just had yesterday!!! As many of you know, we take part in the annual March of Dimes' March for Babies every year in honor of Megan. We are SO grateful to that organization because they played such a big part in saving both Megan and me the day she was delivered. We have been having rain lately and were REALLY worried that we wouldn't be able to walk, but luckily, the rain clouds stayed at bay the entire morning!!! YEAH!! It is always a wonderful event for us, our entire family, and friends that walk in honor of Megan too! To add just a little more wonderfulness to it though this year, I had a VERY wonderful surprise towards the end of the walk. A very sweet lady came up to me and asked if I was the Mom from MegansMom. (At first I thought she was referring to our shirts---they say "Megan's Marchers" on the front and "Thanks to the March of Dimes, Megan and Mommy are still Marching On" on the back.) But then, she quickly added "from the DISboards" to her question. She was a DISer!!!! Her name is Kristen (KristEn87 on here), and she quickly introduced herself and explained that she has read my reports on the DIS!!! It was SO nice to have quite the unexpected DISmeet right there on the walk!!! We chatted it up until we reached the finish line, and then parted our ways to go meet back up with our groups. She is SUCH a sweetie, and I enjoyed meeting her and her ADORABLE baby Evan!!! She got to meet Megs briefly too, but Megan was quite preoccupied hanging out with her beloved "Aunt Kwissy!!!" She told me how much she enjoys my reports, which was so touching to me!!! I just wanted to share this little DISmeet with you all, because it was just so nice being able to breech the computer screen and get to see and hug a DISfriend in person!!! Thank you so much Kristen for taking the time to stop to say "Hi!" I hope you post on here too!!!

After our wonderful day at the walk, we headed to my sister's downtown apartment to change and get ready for our next destination----MARY POPPINS!!!! As most of you probably remember, Tom and I purchased tickets to this show for Megan for Christmas, and it was FINALLY time for us to go!!!! THE SHOW WAS BEYOND FABULOUS!!!!! If you ever have the chance to see it near you any time soon, GO!!! Not only was it as fun and wonderful as the movie, but our breaths were taken away after watching "Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious" and "Step In Time!" Megan hasn't stopped doing the hand motions to "Super" since then!!! I wish I could have taken a picture of her face though when Mary flew up and over us though......IT.......WAS......PRICELESS!!!!!! That alone made it all worth the money spent to get the tickets! We all enjoyed it so much!!!

After the show, Tom took us to Mass at one of the old churches Downtown, and then we headed to one of our favorites--a Cincy classic---Montgomery Inn for dinner. THAT DINNER WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!! As a special bonus, he took us across the street afterwards to Graeter's--another Cincy classic---for THE BEST ICE CREAM EVER!!!!! It was such a great day! I don't think it could have been ANY better than that!!!!! Just wanted to share with you all!!!!!!
 
What a great day!!! So glad to hear you loved Mary Poppins and how neat to run into a fellow DISer!

Oh Jackie...the show was just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!! It was definitely fun running into Kristen! Here's a big hug hoping your Monday is going good!!!! It is rainy here!:hug:
 
I'm coming out of virtual Lurkdom! I was so nice to meet you yesterday! I never thought I'd actually meet a fellow Diser. I'm glad that you guys had a great time at Mary Poppins I knew your seats would be great! I bought the "super" shirt because I couldn't get the song or the hand gestures out of my head either! Sounds like yesterday was quite a wonderful day for your family and with the rain holding off for the walk!

Your reports inspire me to write my own... I'm attempting to try and plan a quick trip next Feb for ESPN the weekend. We got our first ever pin code in the mail a few weeks ago for free quick service dining and it was SOOO tempting, but we want to go for Evan's first time with my parents and they aren't able to go when the dates were for:sad1: Jamie and I went this past Feb (his first trip to the world!) and had a great time. I have a new Disney lover! If we go next Feb Evan will be a little over 1 and I just think he would be in awe of the sights and sounds of Disney! Plus despite the weird cold weather that hit Florida this winter, Feb was an awesome time to go, minimal crowds!

Hope you and Megan can convince your DH to start planning a trip soon!
 
I thought of you guys when I saw the blue skies yesterday AM as we were getting ready for church. Glad to hear the walk went well and you enjoyed Mary! I cant wait for Aileen to get older so I have someone to do girly things with!

Montgomery Inn and Graeters!! YUMMO!

Oh and I think you guys should go over Thanksgiving! ;)
 
Mary Poppins sounds great the more I hear about it the more I regret not getting tickets for the Atlanta showing.
