Me too Luckily our Vermont trips aren't exactly high energy vacations, so it wasn't a huge deal. If she had the surgery 4 weeks before a Disney trip that would've been a big problem
I'm done with my summer class!
Now I get two and a half weeks off, and then I go back to school full time on August 27th.
Enjoy your free time!
Can't wait to see Brooklynn's birthday party pictures. I know it will be great.
It's going to be small. Two of her good buddies can't come, as their cousin is having a party at the same time, and they skipped the cousin's party last year to come to Brooklynn's. They are taking her out for a fun day today, though, and she is excited about that. That means there will be only a hnadful of kids at the AK party, but with Jill being like she is right now, that really works out fine. She's just having some very close friends she feels comfortable with, so she doesn't feel like she has to play hostess so much as she can just be herself.
"Ha Ha Girls"
That is hilarious!! I love that show. It's got cool effects, air conditioning and catchy songs - what more can you ask for?
And yes I have heard of the phrase, in fact I often say it myself! As in,
reading MeMom and Jill's TRs tickles my fancy! And those figurines tickle my fancy! I have a few of them myself! (I've taken to those lately rather than the....brace yourself...snow globes!
)
The girls look so cute in their matching nighties on the balcony! Rainy days always make for great naps!
I do love the music in Little Mermaid!
Snow globes??? They do not tickle my fancy at all!!!
Yes, rainy Disney afternoons make for good sleep.
Of course, at that point it had been raining solid the whole time we had been there, so that was not so wonderful.
I love Bella's "we don't like her, right?" - she is too cute!!
Those Disney Precious Moments figurines are really adorable! I'm not usually too big a fan of them, but I will admit I was REALLY hoping you were going to write that Jill picked one of them up! (The one with the Mickey Bar, to be specific!
)
Oh no, I hope the rain left you guys alone soon!!
They do have some adorable Precious Moments figurines, and there are boy ones as well as girl ones. I love them, but they can put a dent in your wallet, too.
You and Jill are so talented with the girls' brithday parties! Can't wait for the final result!
I hope it doesn't rain, so we can have things outdoors. It will be too messy to have the giraffe come inside.
Brooklynn's Animal Kingdom party is a perfect theme for her!
You and Jill will make it so much fun and I can't wait to see your decorations & games.
You can tell Bella that Lexi doesn't like the "ha ha girl" from Little Mermaid either.
I'm getting closer to our trip...in a couple days we will be in single digits.
Oh...you may have noticed I got rid of the September ticker.
Yes, another trip has been cancelled....too many reasons to list.
I would have mentioned it sooner but I didn't want to complain when Jill was going through something so much more important.
It did help me focus on what's really important in life, so thank you.
Disney trips are 'blessings" no matter when or how many, and we are already so fortunate, you have taught me that.
Animal Kingdom is 'spot on' perfect for her! I have thought of a million things we could do, but they'd cost a million dollars. We'll just have some decorations in the way of AK signage, and the kids will enjoy the backyard safari. You don't know how badly I wish I could have a zoo bring over some real animals.
Sorry about September, but you have several trips still in the planning!
Disney trips are definitely blessings! Heaven on Earth to me.
Love "ha ha girl." So cute!!
I have never seen the Little Mermaid show. Or the Lion King show.
Perhaps I will fix that this Oct. They certainly get rave reviews!
Love that Brooklyn is having an AK themed bday party and of course look forward to "participating" via DIS town.
You need to remedy the Little Mermaid thing, but for sure see Festival of the Lion King!
We wish DIStown could come to the party!
Sorry I've been MIA- I was in Disney. Sorry to hear Jill isn't feeling well. I hope the next few couple of weeks go by nice and quick, so you can hold little Sophie. I LOVE DHS and TSM is my favorite ride.
Toy Story is probably Jill's favorite overall ride, too. There are some really good things in Hollywood. I like Tower of Terror and Star Tours. Mermaid is cute, and GMR is classic. Muppets is fun. Fantasmic is an awesome way to end a day!
A little late to the party, but I was in Disney. Am I excused?
Sorry to hear Sophie is giving Jill a hard time. Hope she rests and stays at comfortable as possible! We visited your POP this trip, and it felt so familiar even though it was my first time there thanks to your pics.
I can never resist not doing anything on the first night. We partied until 2:30 AM on the first night this trip.
Bella is too funny about the 'ha ha girl!' Love the precious moments!
I have not closed a park at 3 a.m. yet, and since they've cut the EMH, I guess I never will. I could make it to 2:00, though. I might do that when my friend and I go next spring. We could close a park and then sleep late the next day. Well, she could sleep late, and I could go do whatever when I got up several hours earlier than late.
-I agree! I wouldn't want her to have to wait that long!
-I think both the precious moments and the small world are great ideas for a nursery! I really do like the theme that Jill ended up going with, though
Sophie's room is cute.
Hi Guys! Just got back from 6 days at Disney! We stopped by AoA today on the way out for the Lion King Wings opening day. I put the pics up at photobucket. Here is a link if anyone is interested

My kids have decided we have to stay at AoA next trip. Hope all is well. Will catch up MeMom as soon as I can. Hope your school days are going well and that Jill is getting some rest. Saw on FB about Miss. Sophies due date being upped. Hope Jill is doing ok!
Cool! I saw some pictures, but I will go see yours, too. Last time I saw Rafiki, he was half wrapped in plastic!
School really zaps my time now, and it probably will until the October break. My head and eyes hurt at night, so I don't want to be on the computer.
I feel like I really should see Voyage of the Little Mermaid now, it looks like a really good show. And I don't know about everyone else, but Bella's "Ha Ha Girls" are pretty awesome in my opinion
Wow, I never knew they had Precious Moments in Disney. My mom used to have a ton of those when I was younger. Oh, my childhood
Love the little ducks! I think it's awesome how comfortable they are with getting close to people. I actually saw a girl catch a wild duck this weekend, it was pretty cool to see.
Hope this was the last of the rain for you guys! Can't wait to read more!
You will have to take a picture of the Precious Moments things your mom has. I'd love to see them.
You should see Little Mermaid. Put it on your list. It doesn't have to be high on the list, but if you can see it, it is cute, and it is very short, so you won't be sacrificing too much thrill ride time.
"Haha girls"! I love it!
I'm leaving for my week down the Cape with Charles and his family tomorrow and may or may not end up bringing my laptop (I probably will just because I NEED to compulsively check the grades for my online class...it's a sickness.) I'll have my phone, of course, so I'll definitely be checking Facebook for any Sophie updates from Jill!
FB will know anything first, so that works.
We saw Little Mermaid this summer as well using a fast pass. Harper loved it, but not at much as Beauty and the Beast, I think....
I think it might have been the dark that made her a little nervous at times.
Are you home this week getting rested up after your first full week with kids?
Beauty and the Beast is a step up, I think. Bigger stage, longer performance, and the colors are brilliant. I bet the dark is a factor for some little ones.
After catching up on responses here, I am off to finish party stuff. I am hoping tonight to have time to put up another set of pictures here.
There is a wedding in DIStown today, everyone! 
Our own tinkgurl is marrying the man of her dreams. We've met him, and we approve of her choice.
They are headed to the lovely Polynesian Resort for their honeymoon. Nice!
Wishing them the best that life has to offer!!!
You've probably told, but somehow I've missed it and I'm sure there must be a good story behind it. 
You will find many nice people here. This report has not been moving too fast lately, as school has really taken up so much of my time. I'll try to put a lot of pictures up when I do have time. 
How exciting for her! Hopefully we'll get to read a trip report when she gets back!
