What a beautiful family you are - Julianna is adorable! I love watching Wishes from in front of the castle too - got to see it at Christmastime and it was truly amazing!
My oldest DS wants to stay at CSR next trip (we have only stayed at BWV and got so spoiled there. I rented points from a DVC owner the last 2 trips and can't beat the price or the view over the boardwalk. We got to see Illuminations from our balcony each night.) Can't wait to read more of your trip!

I am so loving your report. Your details are great and the pictures absolutely stunning. Back to your report on Crystal Palace. There is french toast...but for some silly reaosn it is in the children's station. It is puffed french toast and it is out of this world. I always eat at least two if not three pieces every trip. You'll have to try it next time.

What a great report! I have subscribed so I won't miss any of the wonderful details. What a beautiful family you have and what a blessing you are to them! I am glad to hear that your sweetie is doing so much better. Tomorrow is not promised and sometimes we just have to remember to really love on those we care about - looks like you are certainly doing that! Can't wait to read more

First off... thanks everyone for posting and reading!! It makes it easier to write when you know you're writing for someone! 
Also thanks to every one for the kind words about Juliana.
I SOOOOOO wished I got the burger (or anything else for that matter) Here is a spoiler but somehow I didn't eat one burger the whole trip. I really didn't know that was possible.LOL
Next time we go, I really don't know where we would stay. There are so many nice places. But we loved CSR. I would recommend it to anyone.
Now that you mention it I did eat a piece of it. My DW asked if I tried the puffed toast, told her no then she told me to go try it. WOW barely one week back and I'm already forgetting things!
This is so true.. I found out this week about a 7 yr old girl that is from Waterbury (my hometown) that has a tumor on her brain. She left for St. Judes during the week. I just heard today that they can't operate and they are just going to try chemo and/or radiation. It doesn't look good though from what I understand. You really have to count your blessings everyday and can't take life for granted. You can read about it here:

Great report and pics! Beautiful family! We go for the first time in May and are doing 4 character meals
Which ones are you doing? If I can finish my report by then, maybe I will be giving you a few reviews!
She received a nice Cinderella card before we left from Fildmom. Thanks for thinking of her.

Alright on to Tuesday! 3/3!
We had a good sleep and woke up ready to take on the world! Well maybe not the whole world...... just Hollywood Studios. We had an ADR for Hollywood & Vine (Playhouse Disney) breakfast at 8:40. So we got out to the bus stop and quickly jumped on the bus to Hollywood. The ride from CSR to getting dropped off at Hollywood was like 6min or so. There was already a lot of people at the turnstyles and we were trying to find our we in. At MK you stay to the right to get into the park early, but at DHS you have to stay to the left. Well we went to the right, then we had to fight through the crowds to get in. Arrived at H&V and got seated.
I checked the time and it was 8:55. I told Melody to order me an OJ.. I'll be rite back. I'm going to get TSM FP's. So I walked straight out and waited for the rope drop. It dropped and about 5 CM walked briskly over to TSM. It was very orderly. I think every single person was headed over there. I was about 5th in line to get the fast pass then I headed back over to Hollywood & Vine.
The restaurant was barely half full. Nothing like Crystal Palace (Not that I was complaining) The food was good... once again all the typical breakfast items. They had a make-your-own breakfast burrito. They also had some breakfast potato cheese mixture which was really good. Juliana had her mickey waffles again and some fresh pineapple. Well the characters started coming around. We saw Jo Jo, Goliath, June, and Leo. When Leo came over she asked him how his sister Annie was. She is so cute!
Juliana and June doing dance moves.
They were playing all music from playhouse disney during breakfast. There was 2 times where they got all the kids out towards the middle of the restaurant to dance and sing. It was fun. Juliana was hesitant at first (like she always is) but warmed up and was doing the dance moves with the other kids.
We finished up our meal about 9:45 and headed over to Rock 'N Roller Coaster to get some FP's. So I put my ticket in and my FP ticket came out saying my FP was not available yet. It was 9:55. That had never happened to me before. I thought it was kinda funny. So while we were waiting another family came to get their FP's. One of the kids asked their dad if she was tall enough to ride. He had her stand next to the sign to see if she was tall enough. A CM was there helping out. The little girl was trying to stand on her tippy toes to make herself the 1 more inch she needed to make it. The CM politely told them she wasn't tall enough. Well Juliana was standing with me listening too. After the family left, Juliana wanted to see if she was tall enough. I measured her told her not yet. She said "Maybe when I get a little bigger" I said "Yes when you get bigger.... Now get back there so I can take your picture."
So we had our FP for the coaster (my favorite ride in all of Disney) then we were going to go on TSM. Now when we were there in October we got to the park around 10:30 and the FP's were already gone when we got over there. We really were looking forward to riding, hoping it would live up to the hype. We saw this guy hanging out on Sunset Boulevard.
On the way over some guy handed me 2 FP's for Toy Story!! He said he didn't need them because he already rode it. We said thanks to him.... OK now we have 2 chances to ride! Finally made our way there and jumped on.
We put Juliana between us and went on the ride. We had a great time. I thought Juliana wouldn't like it because it kinda whips you around a few times, but it didn't bother her. She actually liked it. Here is Juliana hanging out with Cootie... her favorite game.
The crowds today were very manageable. Longest wait I saw was for TSM 40min. I didn't think that was too bad. The rest of the main rides were around 20min. We didn't have a plan today we were just winging it.... come to think of it besides our ADR times we never had a 'plan' inside the parks. There were a few rides that we knew we wanted to do. There were also a few rides that we never have done before, so we wanted to see those as well. We stopped by to say hi to Cars.
One of the shows we never saw was Muppet Vision 3D. It was cute but we weren't overly impressed. I feel there is so much potential for this show. Now that we did it, I most likely won't see it again... for a while anyways. I still love Statler & Waldorf... the two grumpy old guys that basically heckle the muppets. I've always loved those two.
We rode Star Tours then headed over to the Streets of America area. Juliana wanted to go to the 'Honey I shrunk the Kids' play area. She remembered it from last time. She gets a kick going on the slides and walking through the ant holes.
It was about 12:30 now so we went to Studio Catering Company for lunch. I was in a line with 2 people..... It was me and the lady in front of me. I don't know where she was from.. she spoke english but had a pretty heavy accent. She was ordering for 5 people all on the dining plan. What a disaster. It took almost 10 minutes for her to order everything. Some meals from the plan, some snacks from the plan, and other items she was paying out of pocket for. It was a almost comical. I should of changed lines but I didn't. I wasn't mad or anything, I just couldn't believe it could be so difficult. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, caesar salad, and PB&J. My sandwich was OK... nothing to write home about. Juliana ate most of the sandwich and what ever else came with it. Melody liked her salad.
Once again being on the dining plan you get dessert with your meals. We wouldn't of ordered it if we weren't on it. But it was included so we ate most of it. The chocolate cake was good... nice and moist. The Marble Cheesecake was really good.
We finished lunch. Then headed over to see Beauty and the Beast. Stopped for a few pics along the way.
We got FP's to Tower of Terror (i don't know why). This is Melody's favorite ride and we never got to ride it. We just ran out of time. We both rode the coaster... I had to wait a few extra minutes to get the front seat. Then jetted over to see the playhouse disney show. We had to see Quincy.
We rode TSM again with our FP's, then started making our way out of the park, hitting a few stores out on the way. We took this picture at 4:50. My next picture was at CSR at 5:10. This just shows you how fast the busses were. Once again we were very impressed with them.

So we were back at CSR and decided to do a little more exploring. We were going to take a nice walk around the lake. Here is Juliana measuring up to the Pepper Market.
Posing for yet another picture.
Why is it so hard to keep kids away from water??????? Taking a pic next to the fountains.
Juliana relaxing in the hammock. She didn't want to get out. If we didn't make her get out, she would of been sleeping.
Just another CSR picture.
By this time it was getting close to 5:45 and we had dinner ressies at 'Ohana at 7pm(this was our latest dinner). So we went back to the room to get ready. We got to the Poly and checked in at 'Ohana about 6:50. I requested a window seat. The CM told me she would see what she could do but she couldn't promise anything. She also said they were running a little behind so it would be a few minutes. They gave me the buzzer, told me we had to stay on the 2nd floor for it to work. What is there to do on the 2nd floor you ask? How about go to the gift shop!!! ( i wonder if they do this on purpose?LOLOL)
About 7:10 we're getting buzzed. They bring us to our table....right in front of the window! It was awesome! We can see the castle perfectly changing colors. Juliana was so excited.
Melody and I both ordered a drink. Mel got the pineapple in honor of our honeymoon in Hawaii.
For those of you that have never eaten at 'Ohana, you better bring your appetite!!!!! There is soo much food. Our waiter brought over the pineapple bread, which was very good. Next was the appetizer course. We got a salad w/ honey-lime dressing (i never knew a dressing could taste so good), pork dumplings (very good), broccoli(Mel didn't care for it so much, I liked it), and the honey chicken wings (KILLER GOOD). The sauce was so sticky and messy, which normally I can do without on my wings. It didn't matter. We ate all the wings. Then they brought over 2 warm towels to wipe our messy hands with (we really needed them). You get 3 different dipping sauces for your meat. Speaking of meat... here it comes. Grilled shrimp (very good), marinated steak(awesome .. it was go tender), griller turkey( very good as well), and grilled pork(little dried out.. still flavorful). Juliana ended up eating mac & cheese. Dessert was a pineapple bread pudding (very good as well). We couldn't eat much of it because we were so full. A picture of where the food is grilled.
During dinner they did dancing with the kids, had a limbo contest, and had a conga line going throughout the whole restaurant. Here are a few pics.
Oh yeah.... back to that window seat. At 7:59 the music in the restaurant was turned down the lights are dimmed... then at 8 they piped in the music from wishes! So the three of us are sitting at the window, with a perfect view of the castle, eating our dinner, and watching the fireworks! It was a really cool experience. Juliana keep saying those are the biggest fireworks she ever seen. She watched the whole time in amazement. These are the type of things that make disney special.
When we were done with dinner we rolled out of the restaurant and headed back to CSR. We had another great day and were looking forward to Wednesday....... on our schedule tomorrow....... nothing!!!!
Ok maybe not nothing(does this sentance make sense?), but a no park day!!!!

Alright its Wednesday already. I think once you cross the state line into Florida time speeds up. The hours and days seem to fly by. We have a ressie at 1900 Park Fair at 9:10 for breakfast. Now we already ate dinner there to see Cinderella and the stepsisters but I made the dinner ressie a few weeks after I made my initial reservations. I planed to eat at 1900 from the beginning. We were debating whether to cancel or go....... ummmm lets go! We got ready and took the rental car over the to Grand Floridian. I knew about the parking situation and I still decided to self park. So once again I dropped Melody and Juliana off at the front and I went to park. Juliana still wears diapers (we're working on it) and one of the straps to the bag broke. So when I got to the waiting area a very nice CM was helping Melody fix the bag. The CM brought her 2 heavy duty safety pins and was helping her piece it back together. We were called and got seated.
We had a nice waitress who was very attentive to what we needed. I had another omelette, some french toast, mickey waffles, some cheesy potatoes, and some fruit. I was thinking about the salmon...... nahhhhhhh not for breakfast. Melody had an egg white omelette so fruit and some french toast. Juliana was being picky... she wanted fruit loops, then she didn't. She wanted another cereal, then she didn't. So we went back to old faithful... mickey waffles and some fruit. I don't know what it was but these waffles were really good. I think maybe they were a little lighter. While we were eating we saw Pooh, Tigger, Alice, Mad Hatter, and Mary Poppins. It was great to have the chance to see Tigger because we missed him at the Crystal Palace breakfast. Plus this Tigger was a lot more animated- he was jumping around and being more playful.
The mad hatter was soooooo funny. I have some great video of him. He is so loud. He was screaming in the restaurant- yelling at Alice, yelling at people, yelling at CM's. He came near our table and stopped at the table next to us. The dad and the 2 kids went up to get some food and the mom was still at the table by her self. The hatter asked the mom where everyone was and she said up getting food. He asked what his name was.. she told him. So the Mad Hatter (and I do mean MAD as crazy) jumps up on the chair and starts yelling across the whole restaurant. "Max.. where are you MAX? You don't want to see me. Max I heard it was your birthday, come over here. MAX OH MAX!" Mel, Juliana, and me were all watching this laughing. The mom, who might of been a tad embarrassed, went to the food to get her son. So the Hatter starting talking to us (still standing on the chair). Just then Pooh comes over towards him. The Hatter starts talking 'junk' to Pooh. And then what does the Hatter do?????? He jumps off the chair and drops an elbow right on Pooh. Pooh falls to the ground and the Hatter is laughing.. we're laughing too. He turns to us and says in his high pitched voice "What is a bear doing in here? The nice people are trying to eat. They should never let a bear in a restaurant." We are all laughing.
In the meantime the mom came back to her table with her family and Hatter goes and talks to them. Pooh is still laying on the floor and Juliana goes over to him and asks him if he is OK and helps him up. So Pooh goes to visit with another table and the Hatter come over to see us. He was bending down talking to Juliana when Pooh comes over and puts his hands around Hatters neck and starts choking him for 5-10 seconds. It was classic and I have the whole thing on video.
We finished up breakfast and headed back to CSR for the next part of our 'relaxing' day.
EDIT: here is the link to the MAD HATTER VIDEO

For Valentine's Day, Juliana and I booked Melody an hour massage at the Spa at CSR for today at 11:30. So while Melody was at her massage, Juliana and I went over to the dig site to play.
Today it was warmer (about 71) after 3 days of low 60's, so we were going to try out the pool. Juliana and I went back to the room to get changed. Then Melody got there. She said the massage was great and she almost fell asleep. So the the of us headed back to the pool. We ordered lunch at the pool bar. Mel & Juliana split the chicken fingers and I had the nachos. The nachos were real good and pretty filling.
Then we went swimming. There wasn't many people in the pool. They had life jackets available for the kids, so we strapped one on Juliana. I tried out the slide. It was fun. I tried to get Juliana to try it (i knew she wouldn't do it plus she is still too little), she didn't want to.
After hanging out at the pool for a few hours we had to go back and get ready for dinner. We took showers and gave Juliana a bath. Juliana hasn't taken a nap this whole trip but she passed out on the bed. So Mel and I finished getting ready and let Juliana sleep as long as we could. About 5:10 we had to wake her up to go. We were going to Chef Mickey's for 5:35!
To be continued..........

She wanted another cereal, then she didn't. So we went back to old faithful... mickey waffles and some fruit. I don't know what it was but these waffles were really good. I think maybe they were a little lighter. While we were eating we saw Pooh, Tigger, Alice, Mad Hatter, and Mary Poppins. It was great to have the chance to see Tigger because we missed him at the Crystal Palace breakfast. Plus this Tigger was a lot more animated- he was jumping around and being more playful.
The mad hatter was soooooo funny. I have some great video of him. He is so loud. He was screaming in the restaurant- yelling at Alice, yelling at people, yelling at CM's. He came near our table and stopped at the table next to us. The dad and the 2 kids went up to get some food and the mom was still at the table by her self. The hatter asked the mom where everyone was and she said up getting food. He asked what his name was.. she told him. So the Mad Hatter (and I do mean MAD as crazy) jumps up on the chair and starts yelling across the whole restaurant. "Max.. where are you MAX? You don't want to see me. Max I heard it was your birthday, come over here. MAX OH MAX!" Mel, Juliana, and me were all watching this laughing. The mom, who might of been a tad embarrassed, went to the food to get her son. So the Hatter starting talking to us (still standing on the chair). Just then Pooh comes over towards him. The Hatter starts talking 'junk' to Pooh. And then what does the Hatter do?????? He jumps off the chair and drops an elbow right on Pooh. Pooh falls to the ground and the Hatter is laughing.. we're laughing too. He turns to us and says in his high pitched voice "What is a bear doing in here? The nice people are trying to eat. They should never let a bear in a restaurant." We are all laughing.
In the meantime the mom came back to her table with her family and Hatter goes and talks to them. Pooh is still laying on the floor and Juliana goes over to him and asks him if he is OK and helps him up. So Pooh goes to visit with another table and the Hatter come over to see us. He was bending down talking to Juliana when Pooh comes over and puts his hands around Hatters neck and starts choking him for 5-10 seconds. It was classic and I have the whole thing on video.
We finished up breakfast and headed back to CSR for the next part of our 'relaxing' day.

For Valentine's Day, Juliana and I booked Melody an hour massage at the Spa at CSR for today at 11:30. So while Melody was at her massage, Juliana and I went over to the dig site to play.
Today it was warmer (about 71) after 3 days of low 60's, so we were going to try out the pool. Juliana and I went back to the room to get changed. Then Melody got there. She said the massage was great and she almost fell asleep. So the the of us headed back to the pool. We ordered lunch at the pool bar. Mel & Juliana split the chicken fingers and I had the nachos. The nachos were real good and pretty filling.
Then we went swimming. There wasn't many people in the pool. They had life jackets available for the kids, so we strapped one on Juliana. I tried out the slide. It was fun. I tried to get Juliana to try it (i knew she wouldn't do it plus she is still too little), she didn't want to.
After hanging out at the pool for a few hours we had to go back and get ready for dinner. We took showers and gave Juliana a bath. Juliana hasn't taken a nap this whole trip but she passed out on the bed. So Mel and I finished getting ready and let Juliana sleep as long as we could. About 5:10 we had to wake her up to go. We were going to Chef Mickey's
for 5:35! To be continued..........
