I'm Going Over The Hill and I'm Taking Everyone With Me!--HUGE 3 post update 7/9

[jenb1023]

Great update!

Love the matching shirts and customs! Great job! You got some really good photopass and other photos considering how many kids you were trying to get a photo of.

Glad to hear you enjoyed Lion King. We really like it! (Just ignore that certain disboutiquer who has a thing against FOTLK. )

I have one kid and would be mad if DH deserted me to ride EE multiple times. Leaving you with four kids by yourself on that trail - !

DD and I are poncho wearers on Kali - so what it the tally on ponchos vs no ponchos so far?

Looking forward to the next update! I hope it is as long, action-packed and photo-filled as this one.

Nope, never been on it. Taylor actually has a heart murmur and our Dr. told us to not take her on the fast rides. She is supposed to grow out of it but so far hasn't.

WHAT? I have a heart murmur and my dr never told me this? Oh well! I survived! But I won't ever do Mission Space again. I could barely catch my breath when I got off it.

I love your TR!! The detail is amazing! The waffles all piled up cracked me up. The matching outfits are wonderful.

Sounds like you guys really like you some EE!

I am right there with you!!!

Hmmm...not sure, maybe it's because of her age? I don't really know. I can't remember who but someone else told me they never heard this either but being her Mommy, I refuse to take any chances. Taylor doesn't seem to really care at this point so all is good. Her favorite rides ever are...and in this order....Peter Pan, Haunted Mansion and Pirates of Caribbean. Lol!!!

My popcorn is getting old and not so tasty anymore!

I know you love to and and celebrating today but I need something to read since there is nothing on and Dallas is at .

Oh crap! I haven't finished yet? And it's my birthday day too! I'll get on that!

The kids joined the characters and CMs in a parade. Hey, this child looks familiar! Where did she come from?

Ummmm, she came from the other side of the room. I guess you never noticed, but we were just across the room from you. They were herding everyone in so fast that it was impossible to get a table next to you.

And the juice was very good - guava, pineapple & mango. It brought back memories.

well make me some! I'm going back to look at my photos, the only time I ever saw you was at the food tables!

Today's Weather: High 82 degrees, precipation, a big fat 0

So we got off to a rough start this morning. Seth did NOT want to get up and get dressed. He wanted to sit in bed playing Legos. We had ressies at BBB for the girls at 8:10 and the boys at 8:30. We had to get moving! Needless to say, there was some arguing and maybe a little yelling. Have I mentioned I HATE being late? We made it out the door and I led the way to the bus stop. DH was at the back of the line. Waaaay back apparently. While we were waiting I got a few bus stop photos:

Somehow Seth, who was somewhere between the two of us, took a wrong turn and got lost. When DH showed up at the bus stop without him, I sent him back to look. He returned saying he couldn’t find him. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! What to do? The bus of course arrived right then and was our only chance at making our ressies. Lily was too little to have a turn last year and she’d been waiting a long time for this! I took the 3 kids and got on the bus while DH stayed to find Seth. I really didn't think it would take him long to find him and meet up with us. I called my sister thinking if he found his way, he would likely go to their room. I think I woke them up.

The whole time on the bus I was just sick to my stomach, calling DH every 5 minutes. I was in tears. We got through the gates, everyone there was making a big fuss over Lily in her outfit and I was so stressed out and in tears I just pretty much ran through. We made it to the castle and still no Seth. I was about to throw up. But still managed a couple of photos:

Our friends met us at BBB. Jayden’s BFF had an appointment too. Before they called the girls back I got a phone call from Seth (on my sister’s phone). He had made it to their room and was fine but REALLLLLLY MAD. I called DH and he called off the POR security team… I don’t know how they did it but within 20 minutes they were at BBB and Seth got to get his Cool Dude hair. I don’t even want to imagine how mad he’d be if he’d missed that! It was a really bad start to my day. I didn’t even get a chance to stop off outside the gate and get my birthday gift card and birthday button! But the fairy godmothers in training took care of me and gave me a cool sparkly birthday button! When they found out it was my birthday they even offered to fit me in for a quick makeover. If I hadn’t been in such a miserable mood I would’ve taken them up on it.

Before:

after:

The boys loved their cool dude hair. I didn’t realize they got to pick out what colors of hair gel they wanted until I saw the pictures! All of their FGITs were really great, especially Lily’s she took lots of time to make sure she felt special and princessy. I took pictures of all of the princesses’ “real” crowns. I want a display like that in my house! The FGIT was impressed that I easily knew whose crown was whose. Apparently lots of people get confused on a few—not disers I’m sure!

Oops, skip ahead a couple of posts for crown photos!

After all the kids were all “maked up” as Lily would say, DH took the boys to go on some rides. My friend hopped the monorail back to the Poly to pack, and I took Jayden, Jayden’s BFF and Lily to the Exposition Hall for their BBB photo shoot! (and a quick trip out the gate to pick up my birthday gift card).

Oh no! A not so great start to your birthday.

Poor Seth. Poor Mike. Poor Mommy. I am sure you were not feeling so great having no idea where he was.

The girls look beautiful! I really like that they don't have on princess dresses. I am not much of a princess dress girl. I do like the disboutique cotton ones but no itchy shiny other ones.

Seth's hair looks cool! And I like Luke's shirt. I love the upclose of the skirt.

 

[maroo]

Oh no!!! What a horrible start to your birthday!

OH NO! A code ADAM! I can't believe Seth got lost!

I got lost at Disney one time after a parade. For about 30 minutes. My parents previously told me to get to the highest place and wait if I ever got lost. One would think I wandered often? So I stood on a bench for 30 minutes. I can't imagine why no one even asked me where my parents were!

I am so glad you got a birthday button. And a sparkly one! Do you have a picture. I want to see a sparkly button!

 

[jham]

Forgot some pictures!

Look, Seth's almost smiling again!

 

[kimmylaj]

poor seth, poor you. i cant even imagine. and how in the world did they get to the park in 20 minutes i am very impressed

 

[Stephres]

Oh, poor Mom! A couple of years ago we went to disney with Tom's cousin (the same family we went with this time). We put the girls down for a nap and Tom took Jacob to the pool. I was reading when the mom wandered out looking for the four year old. Apparently she woke up, saw her mom was napping and let herself out of the room! We were all freaking out trying to find her (we did eventually). That was the worst feeling, so I knew you must have felt sick. Megan slept through the entire eposide!

The kids are so cute maked up. I have to admit I do not whose crown is whose; do I get kicked off the DIS? Can't wait to hear more!

 

[jessica52877]

I think I could only name 4 of the crowns but the color of the pillows helped me out a ton!

Hey...stop sewing for a sec and update us!!!!!

 

[jham]

I figured if I resize all my photos I'll never finish, so huge photos it is! And lots of them!!!

I took the girls to Exposition Hall right after BBB to get their photos. I think we were the first ones there that day. I wasn't sure exactly where I was supposed to go, but we walked in the front door and were immediately greeted by several CMs, one of whom, Kari, led the girls back and got started taking photos. I have to say Kari was awesome!!! She had us all cracking up. She spent a lot of time trying to get Lily to stop making silly faces. She was so wonderful. By the time we left, a few girls had arrived and formed a line but that didn't make her rush us off at all.

The girls are so cute. I like the ones of them together best. I love that I can sit here and look at every little detail on your shirts and shirts! You did such a good job! The ribbons and ric rac and appliques oh my!
