Sounds like you had a wonderful day at MK...minus the little ordeal before the fireworks. That happened with dh and I in Jan when we went. We walked out onto the observation deck at Cali Grill, which is on the 14th floor and I would of been more than content to stand by the door (it was chilly and windy and i'm scared of heights), but he keeps walking all the way to the very end of the deck by the time we got there I was ready to bite his head off. I was freezing, we were at the very edge so I could see all the way down and I wasn't happy. I forgave him when wishes started and we had the most amazing view. Riding the rail road is a good way to get back to main street and rest your feet at the same time...good idea! I love it when the lights first come on at night...good pics...can't wait to hear about DHS!

Great Report (read all 27 pgs on my lunch break - well extended it a bit) I love that you add the pics makes me feel like I am right there with you. Thanks for the smiles..

Jeff had been an Os fan all his life. The AAA team for the Os used to be the Rochester Red Wings (for years..until just recently we are now affiliated with the Minnesota Twins). Anyway..he grew up going to the Red Wings games and then watching the players once they moved up to the Oriole's. He loved Cal Ripken, Jr.

When we lived in MD my DH worked for Cal's minor league team, The Aberdeen Ironbirds, and got to know him really well. He is a REALLY amazing person!!

Sounds like a great MK day. Your pics of the castle or so pretty!!!!

We are huge Haunted Mansion lovers and I know what you mean by being able to ride it over and over and notice something new each time. We rode it a total of 3 times during the week.

Great Update You were able to get a lot accomplished on your MK day!! We love eating at CHH, It was definitely one of our favorite counter service spots. The apple crisp was so yummy, especially after eating so many prepackaged chocolate and carrot cakes all week. The castle pictures are beautiful. DH does not like elbow to elbow crowds either and when we went to Spectro this year the crowds were crazy. We thought they would get lighter for Wishes but no luck,we ended up moving down Main Street closer to the train station, where it wasn't so congested. DH relaxed and was able to enjoy them. I'm so glad that you finally got to see Tink flying over the castle.

You did have a GREAT day!! I hope that our day is as funfilled as yours! I am so glad that you got to see Tink.

Can you believe that the ONE trip that we took to Magic Kingdom with Jeffery five years ago, we saw SpectroMagic and Tink?? We just got lucky because it certainly wasn't planned.

I can't wait to read about DHS. I have to say the MK and DHS are the parks I am most looking forward to. And I have to say that you sealed the deal for me on the waterpark and DQ!!

 

[mommytothreeboys]

I think it is just precious that DH's go through the trouble to make sure that those magical moments are perfect for their wives. Too bad their insistence on making those moments perfect can ruin it!

Oh, well.

I give the hubbies' an A+ for effort!

Yeah...it is endearing! At least he's trying and listened enough to know how much it meant to me!

That does sound like a great day... I'm so happy for you guys! (And it isn't a true Disney trip unless there's at least one disagreement!!)

Kathy

LOL! I'm glad I'm not the only one having a silly fight at the happiest place on earth!!

HM is so fun! I'll have to look for those glowing footsteps...

Very cool! I know that HM was refurbished since our last trip, so maybe they are new?



Great picture!

Thank you!



What a sweetie Jonah is to do that for his friend!

He really is a good, thoughtful boy! I'm very blessed!



Lovely

**sigh**



Great hat! Grumpy enjoys the understated too

Understated, but just Disney enough!



Sounds great! We're looking forward to trying CHH

I wish we had gone earlier to enjoy the upstairs seating..I hear it's great!

Awww, these things happen I'm glad it all worked out!

Yep..it always does!



Yay! You saw Tink!!

I LOVE



That is one absolutely fabulous day!!!

Does anyone else hear Sharpay in this comment! "I want FABULOUS!"

Like I said before...at least they are trying! A for effort!

That's awesome!

It's definitely one of our favorites!

I'm not a big chocolate fan so those packaged chocolate cakes did nothing for me! I was so glad to have the apple crisp.

I was glad to see Tink to...I was afraid I was going to have to put all of my eggs in one basket again and hope for the best on our 2nd MK night.

You did have a GREAT day!! I hope that our day is as funfilled as yours! I am so glad that you got to see Tink.

The waterparks are really second to none. You will enjoy them! And DQ is a nice diversion. Especially with the boys you will be glad you went.

DHS Update coming up soon!

 

[cjackearl]

Missy, I've tried to reply twice and my replies keep getting eaten up. Anyway, you had a wonderful end to a wonderful day.

The pictures of your boys in front of HM is wonderful. Jonah looks downright scary! But in an extremely cute way.

Great castle pictures too. The Magic Kingdom at night. Ahhh..

Thanks Christine! Just think...in no time at all you'll be gazing on that beautiful castle! I hope you have an INCREDIBLE vacation!

 

[cjackearl]

Thank you! I hope our MK day is as awesome as yours was.

Hi! I just found your report while sitting here bored and I've only made it to page 7 but its great! My BF and I were in the World at the same time as you all were! I looked on pg 1 at your itinerary and we were in AK, DHS and Epcot all on the same days! So i've been reading about your AK day and searching for myself in your pictures Anyway, I got to the part where you said you went to the 2:30 showing of the FOTLK and we were in there too! So I'm trying to figure out what section you're in and I come across the last picture on page 7....

We're in your picture!! We were in the giraffe section and you must have been directly across from us because we're like the second row from the front the last 2 people in the row on the right. We're both wearing white shirts and its hard to see but we're there! I'm freaking out because I think thats so cool We got there for EMH and went right for EE too so I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't the first time we crossed paths! I'm along for the ride now, going to catch up and can't wait for more!

 

[Happydog]

Okay I have been too distracted to read much on the DIS lately, so the catch up is now complete this morning! Last I left off we were getting hair cuts and then we ended with Wishes! So I enjoyed all the reading in between, especially the fact that you didn't have many lines to deal with, and the dole whip break was a success! I like the pics you have -- your family looks like they are having a great time... The Swiss Family Tree photos are my favorite. And of course the ones by the castle! I like that the castle isn't in the center, it is a nice balance. Never had lunch/dinner at the Columbia House but I keep hearing this is a good choice! So I will work that QS in! Also totally get the "squabble" factor when everyone is tired and it has been a busy full day!

Wishes is really a great end to a day at the MK. Can't wait to hear about DHS!!!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Awwww! Bless hubby's heart, he was trying to be sweet. But, I totally understand your frustration with him. Sometimes, my husband tries a little too hard and then I get frustrated and then the situation becomes, lets just say...heated.

I am glad that you got to see Tinkerbell though. If you're a sap, then I'm a sap too because I've seen her fly across the Magic Kingdom many many times and I still get all teary eyed.

Oh my goodness I can't believe you actually found yourselves in that picture!! I think I see you, but it's kinda hard to tell. SO cool that we were in the same places. Did you have LGMH on your bag anywhere? I looked all week and never saw even ONE. I was very disappointed.

I'm sure we were at Everest at the same time...I wish we would have been able to say hello!

So glad you're on board!

Hi Happy! Glad you're back!

I am a total sap...and in a house of boys I take a lot of ribbing for that! I'm definitely a cry-er!

 

[xoktenox]

Ok so I just got all caught up! What an amazinggggg MK day you guys had!! You got so much done and it doesn't seem like you really waited very long to do any of it! Aren't Dole Whips soooo good?! I couldn't get my BF to try one but I'm gonna keep trying when we go back LOL Can't wait to read more and see if we're in any of your DHS pictures because we were there that Thursday too!

 

[ladybugmom]

I saw one of your avatars that said "everyone loves a bama girl". Are you from Alabama?

My hubby is from Alabama! We're HUGE BAMA fans!! Roll tide!

 

[ladybugmom]

All caught up (it's been a BUSY week)!! Love the update! I was teary the first night that I saw Tinkerbell as well!! I did get a picture of her the last night we were there. Not sure if you can really tell that it's her--but I know that it is her!! I can't wait to read more!!

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

My hubby is from Alabama! We're HUGE BAMA fans!! Roll tide!

Cool! I wondered! Sorry to say this, but I'm an Auburn fan. But, when Bama's playing LSU or Georgia, I'll root for them!
