Hooray!!

Missy, you had some
serious pixie dust on your trip (perhaps still left over from the barber shop?!)
So happy Jonah finally got to ride with the rest of the crew.... he looks so happy with his sticks... are you actually contemplating the drum lessons??
Uh-Oh.... I know when husbands are dreading the next post its because there was a spat...

Okay... I'm bracing myself!!
Kathy
LOL! I think that pixie dust just may have been left over from the barber shop!
I don't know about the drum lessons....he's asked for guitar lessons too, so maybe we'll go with those!
Yep...spat, coming up!
WOW! What a great update!! So glad that you were able to see the B&B show! And that's great that you got to ride Rockin' Roller Coaster TWICE and that they found Isaiah's cell phone--whew!! Uh oh! Do I hear a fight coming on?! It's bound to happen at least once on a trip--right?! Can't wait to hear more!
Yeah, we really had a great day! Right up until what happens next!
Woo Hoo!

Thanks for the update, Missy!
First of all, I love Beauty and the Beast. While looking at your pictures, "Be Our Guest" was just going through my mind. I never get tired of it!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Rock-N-Roller Coaster!!!! Did I say I LOVE this ride? I do! Unfortunately for me, I didn't get to ride in March. My parents won't ride this one, my niece was "sick", and my sis thought her daughter would be upset if she rode w/out her. She's eleven! She'll get over it. Well, that's what I wanted to say, anyways. I zipped my lip and kept going... next time, even if I have to get in the single rider's line, which is normally not my thing.
I just love your description, though. It took me there! My favorite is the beginning part too, when your skin feels like it's being pulled back from your face. LOVE IT! Pure adreneline!
The pic of the boys outside of the guitar is cute, too, especially Jonah. I just wanna pinch his cheeks, he's so adorable!
Can't wait to hear the next installment! You've got us all intrigued...
Good for you for keeping the peace...but I agree with you. She would get over it, and it's not just HER vacation. You do what you gotta do next time!
Jonah really is a cutie...if I do say so myself!
You've got one brave, rockin' family, Missy! AND some magnetic force drawing your lost things back to you. Yea! Unfortunately, we had some bad cell phone mojo.

Uh oh, ominous sounding update coming. Tell Jeff he'll be out of his misery soon.
I'm very lucky that my boys are very brave and adventurous because I LOVE all the rides! I'm a roller coaster junkie!
Bad cell phone mojo is NOT good.
Great pictures of Beauty and the Beast!!!

We have yet to make it to this show.

But it looks like it would be a lot of fun.
OH-NO!!! Isaiah's cell phone missing!! You had me holding my breath there for a minute--I kept thinking oh-no not again!!! So glad the CM found it!! Wow-that was a close one!!!
It looks like Jonah had a great time on the Rock-n-Roller Coaster and was loving his new drumsticks!!! What a cute picture of all your boys!!!
Can't wait for more!!!
You should check out Beauty and the Beast...it's very well done. You'd like it!
He does love those drumsticks! It was a good purchase.
Missy,
It's such fun reading your report. I feel like I'm there. Just 80 days until our Incredible family arrives at the most magical place on Earth. We love RnR Coaster, ToT and TSM. So much fun!!! My DD 14 wants to audition for American Idol just for fun. It'll be nice to have another new experience.
Hi there and

How cool that your DD wants to do AIE....that should be so fun! Are you doing a pre-trip report??
Great Update!! We too love RnRC. We didn't get to see Band B this time, but have seen it several times before. My pics never come out here either??
Can't wait to hear more.
What is it about that theater?? Strange.
Oh my gosh on the cell phone! Awesome that it was found right away! My oldest was only allowed to bring his cell if he wore cargo shorts and buttoned it in....and yep, he wore cargo shorts everyday (mostly what he owns) and I checked to make sure the pocket with the phone was buttoned!
Great pic of the "band" outside RnRC!
Love the Beauty and the Beast pics - definitely one of my faves!
Yeah..both older boys have phones and only one of them was allowed to bring it to the park each day. I figured we only needed 2 phones with us, mine and one of theirs. After the first night of them texting all their friends all evening, we made the "one phone" rule. It worked out that Isaiah carried his most of the time because he tended to wear shorts with pockets.
That's my FAVORITE band!
Oh no! I've never liked Math and your math problem at the end of the report is scaring me.
Me too! And I LIKE math!
Yay, I'm go glad y'all got to ride RNRC as a family!! I'm looking forward to this ride more than any other because it was
closed on our trip two years ago, and scheduled to reopen the day after we left!! I'm so excited for that rush of 0 to 60 when it takes a second to catch your breath, and just when you do, you are going upside down!!
I can feel the tension coming into the next post...It's hard not to expect some spats when you are together 24/7 for a week or longer though! Hopefully it didn't last long.

Looking forward to another update!
Ugh...that would stink to miss RnRC. Be sure to get on it this time!
The tension has actually been building all week....it kind of just comes to a head in my next update. More on that soon!
Wooohoooo!! What a fabulous day!

Getting to ride favourite rides, having a "lost" cell phone returned, dinner at Pizza Planet, enjoying Beauty and the Beast, Jonah being able to ride RnRC for the first time (you're braver than I, letting him get those drumsticks LOL) and Fantasmic to look forward to!
Sorry in advance for the temporary marital strife - it can't be sunshine and roses all the time, right? LOL
He is still drumming on stuff with those drumsticks!
And you're right about the sunshine and roses...I love the man to death, but we do have the occasional "disagreement" .
Maybe you guys used up all the Lost & Found pixie dust before we got there?? 

I'm glad the phone wasn't lost!! I can't believe how many close calls you guys had!
Sounds like a perfect afternoon at DHS - I LOVE RnRC - we were so happy that Alex could ride this year. Zach may be tall enough next time??
But I doubt he'll want to ride. Alex is my daredevil.
Sorry about using all the pixie dust! We really were SO lucky!
Isaiah is the one boy who is LESS adventurous when it comes to rides than the others. I was proud of him this trip for riding ToT...I really didn't think he would!
Wow! talk about having

on this trip! good thing it's the most magical place on Earth.
DHS sounds like it made for an awesome day!! all the important stuff covered and enjoyed

:
The math equation sounds like something from my world...can't wait to hear this one...
We are going to need a little of that Disney Magic in the next update!
We just got back from our trip and I am starting to get caught up with everyone else's trips before I start mine. I just finished reading the end of your perfect day at the MK. What a great day and your post was so detailed. I love it!
We just experienced those crowds a few days ago at the MK between the parade and the fireworks, so I could totally picture the mob scene in my mind. One of the worst crowds of our whole trip. I'm so glad that you got what you have been waiting for...to see Tink. It must have been a wonderful moment.
BTW - one of my favorite times at Disney is at dusk, and your pictures are beautiful. It is the BEST when they first turn on the lights.
Yeah, I totally messed that one up....I should have anticipated that crowd situation. Oh well...a lesson learned!
And sunset/dusk is a beautiful time! I totally agree!
What a great installment! I'm so glad Isaiah found his cell phone. Whew! Ya'll have been lucky.
I can't WAIT to ride TSM. Can't wait.
Unfortunately, Christian is NOT going to be tall enough for RnRC. And I kind of doubt Will and Cole will want to ride either. It will probably just be me, Matt, and my brother and SIL. Maybe my dad. Not sure.
I don't do ToT.

I don't mind the drop, actually, but I am very anxious by nature and the whole lead up to the drop makes me so upset I have a stomach ache for hours. I told you I was weird. I'm not really sure why I get anxious because the drop really doesn't bother me. I love roller coasters. Just can't stand the anticipation. Matt swears he's going to get Will and Cole on it. I kind of doubt it. Christian is tall enough (I can't believe the height restriction is just 40", but it is), but Matt says he won't take Christian. Which is my excuse to stay on the ground. Interestingly enough, my brother, who gets carsick if he has to ride, rather than drive, down the street, loves ToT. I've always said that when all my kids are old enough to go, I'll go one more time to get the family picture. And I will. But unless Christian begs, it probably won't be THIS time.
Anyway, can't wait to hear the answer to the big math equation. Hope you still enjoyed F!
I get motion sick in the car as well, but roller coasters and ToT do not bother me at all! Good thing because I LOVE them!
You'll love TSM!
