On way to Dubuque to see the kids so probably won't get back here until Monday. But glad you are all enjoying the "ghost"

This is one of the BEST Disney pictures ever!!!!

Is it me, or is Lady Tremaine, looking a little un-lady like?

 

[Minnie&Nana]

OMG!! Just back after no internet for days (and being on the Cape for a few) and the first thing I see is the stepsister practicing to be a ghost! Cannot wait to catch up...while you're enjoying a weekend with the kids, I'll be enjoying your TR!

Safe travels and have fun!!

Is it me, or is Lady Tremaine, looking a little un-lady like?

I was wondering the same thing!!

Update coming up before I leave work (if the phone stops ringing off the hook).

I loved our stays at the Poly; but the price has skyrocketed and I just can't see spending that amount unless I win the lottery. Maybe we should buy a ticket together and split the winnings if we win?

Don't you hate when work gets in the way of Disney, while at work!!

Splitting a ticket sounds perfect! Now, if only it was easy to actually win!

Love the meet n greet with the Evil Stepsisters...that's awesome...The pics came out great!

wigdoutdismom and Minnie&Nana got me looking at the stepsisters and stepmother and when I know take a second look at them NONE of them look very lady like :-o

I have seen that particular trip before. Those are the "A" team stepsisters.

A couple of years ago I stood and watched them and was laughing the whole time.

We were called creepers for taking pictures of them with other peoples kids, the kids and parents when done ( and appropriately ) were told to move along and get out of the way,

I hate that I cannot remember more but it was borderline mean. In a Disney way.

Even the handlers were rolling thier eyes at some of the things they said.

Here is that post and you can see it was the same lovely ladies
Steps in rare form

In all our trips, I don't believe I have ever encountered the stepsisters. The look like a riot. Loved the photo of the one trying to be a ghost.

Time is flying-you will be heading that way again soon.

BEST PICTURE EVER! Oh my gosh, I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe! That is going to send me into giggles every time I think of it for the rest of the night!

Looking forward to reading all about Marco! (and count how many Starbucks stops there are! )

I love it!!! We saw the stepsisters mvmcp nite. They were much more toned down..and they were next to Cinderella and her Prince...photo op. Sadly only one of my princesses wanted to wait in line...I promised her CRT meal next trip....

 

[goofy4prez]

Mark had us opening our mouths as if we were trying to catch the water during the two above pictures (what can I say...the man is a little

Hey now, I like a little

(Other than from those in Washington, but that is another topic for another day).

 

[tinacaplan]

Hello! So, so, so far behind around here, but I'm trying to catch up! Can't wait to read more about this trip!

 

[tinacaplan]

Well...now I'm only forty pagess behind. First class looks so nice; I've never done it. What a great surprise!

Sorry you didn't get off to the best start at OKW, though. We had a not so fabulous CM when we checked in in October, but otherwise, we loved OKW! Its beautiful, quiet, and relaxing. And our villa was incredible. Really the perfect choice for that trip!

I love the character interaction you had with the stepsisters. It's always great when you see them really get into it and just have fun with it. Much better than the handshake/picture/move along attitude.

 

[amandaw]

What a fun day y'all were having in the MK!!

That interaction with the step-sisters and Lady Tremaine sounds like such fun! And the picture of practicing to be a ghost is hilarious!!

 

[solana131]

What a great character meet! I wanted to meet the step sisters in July with Dani, but we never saw them. I have heard they are always a great meet and will definitely put them on the list for next time.

"We walked through the castle and as we were discussing where to go first, Kathy saw the Evil Stepsisters and suggested we hop in line to keep with the theme of meeting new characters this trip. We watched as some of the little Cinderella's didn't seem to thrilled with meeting the Evil Stepsisters."

Cool! I guessed right!!!

practicing to be a ghost to haunt the castle:

Like everyone else has said, this is hilarious!!!

We walked back through an empty Fantasyland at this time of the morning:

Love low crowds! You can get so much done!!!

After riding with the singing dolls, we moved over to Mickey's Philharmagic which we had somehow missed on our first day at the MK. I love this show.

Right there with you! Love this show, especially during the Be Our Guest song.....the smells are fantastic!

And then I head for the closest place to get something to eat.....

After leaving the dump shop, we saw one more character out that we had never seen and this would be our last character visit of the trip:

Great Pic!

We then headed towards the Haunted Mansion so we could get in another ride on that favorite (we have too many favorites):

If you really have sooo many, do you really have a favorite after all???

Is it me, or is Lady Tremaine, looking a little un-lady like?

I was wondering the same thing!!

Not just Lady Tremaine, but Anastasia is looking a little drag queenish here too............

 

[CandleontheWater]

Awww, last days are always tough, but you guys look like you were making the most of it! I've never met the stepsisters, but maybe I should seek them out, they sound like a riot! You guys also got in some great attractions! I agree, its so hard to narrow down a list of favorites!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

The wicked stepsisters had me

What an awesome time! As others have said, when they get into character like that, it's truly what makes Disney, Disney.

Otherwise, for Haunted Mansion, for Philharmagic, and for IASW.

It's a Dolphin fish (AKA Mahi Mahi) not the porpoise Dolphin.

So what your saying is that the dolphin doesn't look like a dolphin on porpoise...

Holy updates, Bat Girl!!

You don't mess around, do you?!?

Y'all have such a great time, it's fun looking at your photos doing as such.

Love the Marge Simpson wig!! Too funny!
Eating at Emeril's looked amazing! I would have joined in on the calamri!! Mmm, love me some calamari.
Poor Mackie, I think I scarred her for life when she ate it for the first time. We were at an Italian place we loved to go to for pizza, and I ordered some fried calamari to start. When we got it she was gobbling it up! As we were eating it I said...."Do you know what you are eating? " (as I picked up one of the tiny squids that had all it's tiny little tentacles) Thinking this could be one of those moments where she would think 'Oh! Cool!' and then not think anything of it afterwards. Stupid mommy wasn't thinking this through very well for a 6 or 7 year old at the time.
When I told her, you would have thought I told her she was eating her best friend!! Poor baby was was upset, "You mean like pearl in Finding Nemo!?!"
I told her some funny things and made her laugh about it, but being the twisted, sick, humored person that I am took it a little further when I got my pasta primavera and picked up the peice of yellow squash and asked her if she knew what it was, the look on her face was priceless-she was already on to me and knew I messing with her at this point (smart baby is teased too much at home)...."It's Flounder from Little Mermaid." She yelled at me and said "I'm never going out to eat with you again!" She has a pretty funny sense of humor, poor kid didn't stand a chance in this family, humor is how love is shown in this family.

Looove torturing my kids.

LOVE this....what is the fun of having kids if you can't torture them a little,right?


Kathy your updates are great. I had really been wondering about the TR title but that explains it perfectly. I agree that those ladies don't look very "lady" like but FUNNY from the sounds of it. Our encounter with the steps at 1900 PF was great - I would stop to see them in the parks. I am developing a new appreciation for the Disney villians.
