How 1 trip turned to 2 and now turning into 3!! Update Pg 40 Days 3, 4 and 5!!

Hi!!
Sorry I have not been around just busy.

All you plans look wonderful. I sure you will enjoy eating at the CASTLE.

I love riding the monrail all the way around. I hope your are able to get some great pictures with Santa Mickey should make cute christmas cards>

On your birthday (Dec 13th) will we also be celebrating Landen birthday he be 2:banana: hope you have a fun birthday:cool1:
How long is the drive from your home to WDW/
Congrad on your award:thumbsup2
I'll be thinking of you and your family while you enjoy the magic of DISNEY.

I can totally relate to being busy! :goodvibes

Thanks! It should be fun to eat in the castle - I've read the food's not great but I just want to hang out in the castle once. I think I have to do it now while they're young. If I wait too long, they'll be too old and "too cool" to do it!

Corbin's favorite part is the monorail. He said that's all he wants to do tomorrow is ride the monorail! :rotfl: Can't wait to get a good picture for a Christmas card. I have a couple I can use if I don't get one but I don't know when we'll be back at Disney for Christmas so I'm hoping for a good one!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANDON! How fun!! Have a great time celebrating!

It's about 4 -5 hours (depending on who's driving) to Disney.

Thanks - I totally wasn't expecting an award at all.

Thank you!! I can't wait to go. Today is just "one of those days" and I'm ready to go home! I'm supposed to leave in 20 minutes but it's not looking good right now!

I'm going to wish you an early Happy Birthday because if I don't, I'll forget. (I know, bad friend) Happy Birthday Lynn. Okay, here's my birthday song for you... :rolleyes1 (pretend he's singing, not rolling his eyes) Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Lyyynnnnnn, Happy Birthday to you!!!!!
How did you like that? I know I'm the next American Idol. :scared:

Aww thank you! You can do American Idol when you go to Disney! :rotfl: I would go and see that! :thumbsup2

Alright...back to trying to hurry people along so I can get the heck out of here today!

Hey guys....just walked back in the door. It's been hard living without the DIS!! Glad to be back home but sad to leave Disney - you guys know how that is! I'm tired, grouchy and not feeling well so I'm off to get some stuff taken care of tonight then off to bed! I'll be back to move this over to the TR board, finish the last TR and get this one rolling soon!

This trip's theme: "Did you leave your manners in your car????" :confused3

:rotfl: :rotfl2:

Have a super duper night! Can't wait to get caught up!
 
WELCOME HOME!!:goodvibes
Glad you're home and had a safe trip, looking forward to hearing all about it!

Thanks! :grouphug: It's good to be back. I copied all of my pictures over this morning so tonight I'll put them on line so I can work on this (hopefully) this weekend.

Alright...off to try and catch up on work...ugh! :goodvibes
 
Hey Everyone! I sent a PM to have this moved over to the TR board...just wanted to give you a head's up in case it's not on the PTR board much longer! :goodvibes

I'm uploading pictures to photobucket tonight - it's going so slowly! I'm also finally uploading pictures to Shutterfly to send to the family since I haven't done it for about two months now! :scared1: We're also counting down until The Grinch is on tonight. It's my all time favorite Christmas show - we watch the dvd year 'round in this house! Carter :love: the Grinch and Corbin almost knows the show by heart! :rotfl:

Alright...off to get more pictures on the computer! Today was an awful day at work and the DIS is sure to make it better tonight!
 
Alright! Goal is for this weekend to have this baby completed! :thumbsup2 I know I've said it before but I've got tons of cute pictures to share from the new trip and won't share until this is done. Now that's some motivation! :rotfl:

Alright...today's a busy day so I should be getting to work! :goodvibes
 
Can't wait to hear about your trip!!!!! Hope you're feeling better!
 
Can't wait to hear about your trip!!!!! Hope you're feeling better!

Aww thank you! I actually was only sick one night while we were at Disney (more on that later!) and haven't been sick since we've been home which is great! I'm just hoping I won't be sick for Christmas! Come January, I'm camping out in the freaking doctor's office until they figure out how to fix me! :rotfl:
 
Feeling like giving you guys a tease this morning!!!

Here's a picture of Carter from Friday evening - it was the only night it was chilly and I was so thankful that (despite Dan saying we wouldn't need them!) that I packed hats and mittens.

Christmas is my *favorite* holiday - I love to decorate and have an excuse to show people how much I appreciate them. Disney had some awesome decorations

Alright...that's enough teasing for now! More to come later for sure!:goodvibes
 
Alright...it's slow here today so I'm going to try and finish this up while I'm here at work. I'll send PM's to the "regulars" and not PM that it's finished until after Christmas this week for sure to give people time to catch up :goodvibes

So I left you hanging (way back from page 12) about what I purchased at the outlets and how the trip home went....

The first thing I spotted at the outlet was this:

DisneyPicturesDay4350.jpg


DisneyPicturesDay4351.jpg

They were only $10 each! That's awesome!!! I ended up giving one to our friends that were supposed to go with us in Dec for Christmas and the other's in my closet waiting for a home (unless Dan "shops" from my "leftovers" in the closet again this year!).

I also got Angie's birthday present when we were there:

DisneyPicturesDay4349.jpg

It was a little more than I was planning on spending but way cheaper than buying it at Disney and she ended up loving it so it was all worth it in the end!

I spotted these in the very back of the store and picked them up to decorate our room since we were still planning on staying at AKL at that point:

DisneyPicturesDay4348.jpg

I also got Dan's nephew this cute zip up sweatshirt:

DisneyPicturesDay4347.jpg

I picked out these shirts for our nanny's boys:

DisneyPicturesDay4346.jpg

**I keep saying "I" since Dan and the boys sat in the van and waited while I shopped...they weren't up for any more shopping at all.

I picked up this package of games (2/pack) thinking I might hold on to them in case I needed a last minute gift or something. It ended up that Corbin got into them one day and we now play the monorail game almost daily! They're pretty cute games really and were pretty cheap!

DisneyPicturesDay4345.jpg


DisneyPicturesDay4344.jpg

I also picked up a package of these cute letters for the boys to just fill in the blanks:

DisneyPicturesDay4357.jpg

The boys also got Incredibles glasses for like $2 each instead of the $8 at the park!

All in all, it was a pretty productive outlet stop! I'd go there again for sure! Don't get me wrong, I think some of their stuff was still way overpriced even for an outlet but there were some good deals...you just had to be willing to search for them.

So back on the road again...all of a sudden we see this:

DisneyPicturesDay4323.jpg


DisneyPicturesDay4324.jpg

Dan thought that was pretty cool. He must have been in concert some place that we were driving past and he was headed to the next stop.

The boys pretty much watched dvds on the way home.

DisneyPicturesDay4330.jpg


DisneyPicturesDay4331.jpg

We made a quick stop for dinner at Cracker Barrel on the way home and that was about it. Really a pretty quiet ride home thankfully!

Alright...now on to the homework!


Okay Lynn, it's TR survey time.

Which is your favorite park? Magic Kingdom hands down - it just fits our family best right now

Which is your least favorite park? I'd have to say I don't have a least favorite - I like something at all of the parks. I guess I'd have to say AK has the least for our family to do unless we're looking to watch the shows.

Which is your favorite ride? Pretty much only went on "kid" rides but I loved the TSM ride!! It's worth all the standing in line over for sure!

Which is your least favorite ride? There wasn't really a ride I'd never ride again I don't think.

Which ride do you wish you could do over and over again? That would have to be the TSM ride for sure! It's fun and both the kids like it too!

Which is your favorite eating location/restaurant?Loves TH for sure! Would go back there again and again

Which is your least favorite eating location/restaurant? ?Least favorite totally on customer service alone would be the TTS or GFC. They just didn't have it together at all!

What was the best meal you had? Best meal was probably CR - I loved the cake

What was the best snack you had?I love popcorn! My favorite snack is probably funnel cakes or elephant ears but we never had anything like that on our trip

What was the best drink you had?Jungle juice from TH

What was the best dessert you had?Custom cake from CR. I think the only place we had dessert off the menu was the TTS...it was good but not great.

What was the worst food experiance you had?Just custoemr service at GFC and TTS

Which show was the most entertaining?Didn't see any shows this time

Which show was the least entertaining?No shows this trip...stay tuned for the next TR!

Which parade was the most entertaining?We only saw the MNSSHP parade and it was great!

Which fireworks was the most entertaining?I love Wishes - we watched the MNSSHP version and it was great! I miss Tink flying though!

If you could pick one thing to do over and over and over again what would it be?Ride the monorail and see the castle

If you could do one thing differently, what would it be? Picked a bigger room - went with the cabin that we had booked in our name!! More space is better

What will you definetly not do on your next trip?Stress - relax and have fun!!

What item that you had with you on your trip could you not live without?Wipes! And Benedryl for Corbin.

What item that you had with you on your trip will you leave home next time?I'm a crazy packer so probably wouldn't leave anything home!

What item did you not bring but wish you did?the bubbles I'd packed but left in the room

What purchase did you make that you wish you didn't?Really don't regret buying anything honestly - we don't buy much while we're there

What was the best purchase you made?The outlet stuff! Never pay full price!

What do you wish you could have purchased for someone else?I could have done lots of Christmas shopping at the outlet but showed some restraint!

What do you wish you could have purchased for yourself?This is a hard one....I'm not one to buy anything for myself really. I like very practical things. I don't know that there's anything I'd go back there and buy guilt free if you gave me a blank check.

What item do you wish someone would have purchased for you?Probably same answer as above. I could never justify the high costs of stuff there for "normal" things I could go to Target and buy for half price!

Which store do you wish you could buy out?World of Disney - so many options!

Which store could you do with out?Team Mickey ....just kidding! I don't really have anything against any of the stores there...

Who is your favorite character?Don't really have a favorite - I love them and love seeing the boys faces light up

Who is your least favorite character? Again, don't really have one I guess

Who was the most interactive character on this trip? I think that was Stitch by far with the boys!

Who was the least interactive character on this trip? Seemed like the ones during meals...they were in a hurry to get around to everyone

Which character did you want to see, but did not get a chance too?None really that we missed out on this time....the boys really wanted to see Handy Manny

What was the best interaction you had with a CM? There really weren't any that I felt like really went totally above and beyond. There were many nice ones though that gave the boys stickers and things

What was the worst interaction you had with a CM? Anyone I talked to about the bounceback stuff before check out!

What was the best part of your resort?Probably the location - we were close to the elevator and could look out over the open area below.

What would you change about your resort? Room size!

Which hotel/resort do you wish you could have stayed in? AKL!

What are your Top 3 all time favorite moments of the trip?Divers/menus at CR, being able to have Dan's mom along and seeing the boys with the characters - that was worth it all!
 
oh my goodness........I did not not know they had a monorail game......my 4 year old nephew is obsessed with Disney's monorail.......where did you get it again??

From the outlet about 10 minutes from Disney. It was packaged with the Riverboat game. I think it was either $5 or $10 for the package of the two games. The monorail game is the monorail versus the train - they race around the track to see who gets to the finish first. It took a couple of times playing for Crobin to figure it out but now that he knows what everything says and means, he can play with the best of them! :goodvibes
