I am nuts.....for bringing the in-laws-a May/June 2011 TR.

Those cinnamon rolls look delicious! Wonder if I could get Disney to deliver one of those to my house right now.

Being we were close by, we headed to the Hall of Presidents. I actually like to see the Hall of Presidents.

When we were done, I was a little hungry. So we headed to one of my favorite counter service meals in MK: Cosmic Rays.

I really think you get your money’s worth here. Shannon and I had a burger and the kids had nuggets.

Back out to the park. Fantasyland here we come.

First on the agenda, Mickey’s Philharmagic.

Madi still is a little hesitant about 3D movies at DW. She is a little more tolerant, but they are not her favorite. Everyone enjoyed the show.

On to IASW. Madi still loves these types of rides. They are her favorite. We’ve rode this every trip, but I still take tons of pictures.

Being a little Goofy:

IASW is still one of my favorite rides. I regularly sing the song while at home. And I always have to take pictures on it. The 1st time I went to Disney (summer 1987) my Dad & I rode it so many times that he ended up using 13 rolls of film on just that ride.

13 rolls of film.

13 rolls of film.

I kid you not! We still laugh about how many times we rode that ride. Of course, after like the 5th time, the rest of the family quit riding with us.

Like the update.

We did cosmic rays the first time ever this trip! Loved it!

Alexa tried to grab Donald in the Mickeys Philharmagic show!

My mother absolutely HATES IASW. The one song Alexa sings all the time now.. IASW!! But she sings "It's a small world after the ride!"

Sorry for being away for the past week. I've had a migraine for a week and a half, we went camping and Jaden had her Science Fair book report due. I did see a different doctor for my migraine's, and she did diagnose me with migraines. My doctor, who I have been seeing for years, told me it was not migraines. I just need some relief, whatever they are. She has me on a medicine treatment and wants to see me back in a month to see how its going.

Back to the TR:

Then we made our way to use our FP’s for Splash Mountain.

Madi decided that she was going to ride with us. My MIL kept trying to talk her into staying with her, but she wanted to ride and I didn’t want anyone to help change her mind. The in-laws did not ride. Go figure!!

I think Jaden ran to get us FP’s for Big Thunder Mountain.

I was ready for a snack, so we headed towards Adventureland. Madi and I jumped on the Magic Carpets. I don’t mind riding these rides with her.

Now time for my favorite snack: a Dole Whip Float. So good and refreshing on a hot day.

Madi really wanted to walk through the Swiss Family Treehouse.

I really didn’t want to because I was still enjoying my Float. Jaden was done with her ice cream so I asked her to take Madi through the treehouse. My MIL like to have a fit. Once the girls were on their way, she told us she couldn’t believe we let them go off together by themselves. Jaden is a responsible young girl, and we were eating our snack right across from the Dole Whip place. I told Jaden we would not leave where we were and to come right back here when they were done. Shannon and I didn’t have any issue with this, so we just let her say what she had to say and let it be. Jaden made it back, but she was by herself. Then I worried. She said Madi was right behind her and before I could say anything, here she comes.

Don’t you love this face.

She was mad because she wanted to go again and Jaden didn't want to.

 

[amandaw]

So sorry you haven't been feeling well! Hopefully, the medicine will provide some relief for you.

I would've been so mad that MIL was trying to talk Madi out of riding Splash Mountain!

And then, for her to voice her opinion to y'all about the girls going to the Treehouse alone!

That look on Madi's face in the last picture is priceless!

 

[BelleTinkMom]

Hey guys. I didn't forget about yall. The Disney Cruise planning is taking up all of my time. The girls and I have been cutting out different designs on my Cricut to make magnets for our door. I have also been looking on the Disign boards for disigns to make magnets. Our door will be overflowing with magnets. I also worked on my Fe hanger and it is at the embroidery shop. Once I get it back I will be able to complete it.

We also are working on Jaden's Science project. Oh My Goodness, these kids have no idea what to do and the instruction sheet is very vague. I am guessing at some things and hoping it is right.

Update on my Headaches: they are gone and haven't returned. I did get some results back on my bloodwork, and my potassium is too high and my vitamin D is too low. I need to stop drinking all fruit juices and stop eating bananas and I my doctor prescribed some vitamin D for me to take. I need to follow up on Friday.

Enough about all this other stuff, now onto an update:

We headed back towards Frontierland, but not before stopping for a ride with the Pirates first.

We used our FP’s for Big Thunder Mountain.

My MIL and Madi played at the Splashed Mountain play area while the rest of us rode. Jaden and I used the two extra FP’s. Boy that girl always lucks out with using the extra FP’s.

The in-laws decided to head back to the resort while Jaden and I were riding BTMR. They are some party poopers.

 

[amandaw]

Glad to hear your headaches are going away!

Sounds like y'all were able to get in some fun rides that afternoon! Why am I not surprised that your in-laws went back to the hotel?

Okay, so I have to ask.....how are you making the magnets with your cricut? We're hoping to take another Disney cruise during Thanksgiving week 2013. I'm contemplating doing the whole FE thing if we go.

I made a countdown calendar for my best friend's kids. They leave for their 1st Disney trip in 2 weeks. I used the Mickey & Friends cricut cartridge. I have that one & the Mickey Font. I use both of them A LOT!

So far I used Life's a Beach cartridge to make the magnets. I will try to take pics and post them this afternoon. I also have the Mickey and Friends that I want to use.

I am having fun making my FE gifts. I know some buy little gift but I enjoy doing crafty projects. I will attempt a TR when we get back. U don't want to ruin the surprise for the gifts. I will post a pic of our FE when it's complete.

Ooooh...I didn't even think about the Life's a Beach cartridge....I have that one, too & it is sooo cute! I'm working on the scrapbook for my son's 1st Disney trip back in 2010 & I did a very cute layout for the Jungle Cruise using that cartridge! Speaking of which....I only have like 2 layouts left for that book....I really need to get it finished!

I like doing all that crafty stuff, too! Can't wait to see pictures....and definitely let me know me know when you start your TR!

 

[BelleTinkMom]

Here's the magnets I made so far using Life's A Beach Cricut cartridge:

This is just the start. I also have saved a lot of clipart from the disboards. I will post those when I have them ready. I think I have so many, I will have to change them out each day to use them all. I hope there are some metal items in the rooms to so that we can put them up in there too!!

 

[amandaw]

Those are soooo adorable!

I'm definitely stealing your idea if we get to (hopefully) go on the 2013 Thanksgiving Fantasy cruise!

If I remember right, there may be some small places inside the cabin where y'all could use them.

 

[Queenofallthings]

I am so happy that you have finally received some relief from your migraines! My best friend suffers from them and I see how debilitating they are!

I love your cut outs! I can't wait to see your fish extender!! Great updates too by the way

Steal away. I'd be flattered. I've been stealing a lot of ideas. I hope others don't mind.

We could even put them on the inside of the door!

Thank you! Now, I just have to get our cruise booked, which I probably won't be doing until this summer. At least I'll have a long time to work on all of this stuff!

You could definitely put them on the inside of the door! Great idea!
