Island Hopping: A Highly Inappropriate TR. (Boom.)-- Link to NEW TR! 10/8

[Fantasyland Mom]

Ah so many updates! Such amazing pictures- I hope I can get that talented one day! I CAN'T wait to see your video. Sounds amazing

Epcot and I have such a strange relationship. I know people LOVE it and I want to love it but I just don't! Last time we didn't even make it to the WS cause we were fed up after Ellen we left but I hoped the WS would bring up my opinion this time. While they did an excellent job with the theming and it is gorgeous, the food just doesn't seem authentic to me!

I did enjoy stalking characters in every country though!

Oh Duffy! I find him adorable and did have to resist buying his stuffed animal but he's so strange. I googled it and they definitely changed his back story! When we were just there, people were walking past him going "oh it's that random epcot bear!" But it's really cute that your kids love him!

Aw Julia's Crush question is too cute! How smart she is

People can be so rude and insensitive! It's SO hard for differently-abled children. They just want to enjoy themselves like everyone else but have so much going on.

VIDEO IS READY!! YAY! Pictures are included in some parts, as well.
Honestly, Epcot is mostly about characters for us! Let's face it, we have three kids...AND ME!! So characters are what we're there for. The food is not authentic to me, either, except maybe the German pretzels and *some* of the pastries in France, but most things are delicious!!
Duffy is strange, but I just can't question the love they have for him!
I agree. People (and, yes, even me, even though I have a "differently-abled" child--love that!) seem not to be able to stop and think and separate themselves from a situation; it's all about THEM, not what may be going on with someone else. But there is never, ever a reason to be rude!

Your pictures are so AWESOME! I just can't say it enough! I can't wait for the video! And those Epcot outfits are just tooo damn cute!! I definitely saw you guys that day, right in front of Mission Space! We also ate at La Cantina that day for lunch, I'm so sad we weren't there around the same time so we could have talked some!! I feel your pain about the headaches! I get terrible migraines and carry around pills that are also like $60 for 10! But hey, they can seriously ruin your day, and who wants a Disney day ruined! Man, I wish I would have come up to you, I would have given you something from my bag of goodies for your head!

I cannot believe how close we were TWICE! I probably would have begged for some of your goodies!!!

Holy updates, Batman! Aren't you the power poster?

I've been away from the Dis, but I'm all caught up now! As always, your kids are beyond adorable, and the photos are SO good! Hooray for a successful Epcot day!

Ugh...I'm so sorry about your headache (been there, done that, got the T-shirt)...very glad to hear you didn't have a repeat!!

I had to power post because I had been away, too!!
Video is ready !

Joining in! Your family is beyond adorable. Loved the Pirates League pics! And I'm glad you enjoyed your Epcot day, despite the nasty headache. We ate at Garden Grill for the first time two years ago, and I enjoyed the whole experience -- food and characters -- a lot more than I'd expected.

Looking forward to more!

You've all been waiting for it (and so have I...now I get my computer back!!), and here it is!!!

OUR DISNEY VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the link:
Disney World Family Vacation Video

I hope you watch the whole thing...yes, all 15 minutes of it...and enjoy! It really is amazing, if I do say so myself.

PLEASE feel free to share the heck out of it anywhere you'd like: facebook, twitter, with people who might be interested, and most importantly, here on the DIS! Brandon worked for a countless number of hours and I think he deserves the whole entire world to see his work!

And of course you will get an idea of what goes on the rest of our trip, but please come back and read the rest of the TR even so! I love you people too much for you to disappear!

Enjoy, and have a magical day!

I've been lurking since you started this TR, staring in awe at your beautiful babies the whole time.

I'm only 2.5 minutes into your video and I'm already crying.

IT IS SO PERFECT!

To all of you, THANK YOU so much for your support! It means so much to us that anyone would take the time to watch our little (or maybe not so little ) family, and even more that you're enjoying it. You are so sweet. I've said it before and I'll say it again: DIS friends are the BEST friends!

Great video - thanks for sharing. Certainly no reason to wonder we we go again and again and again, and why we often long to be there between those times, as well. The kids are precious!

Oh. My. Goodness.

Great googly moogly, your video is AH-MAY-ZING! I laughed, I cried, I watched it again!!

 

[Holly324]

So my computer decided it wanted to work today, and I got to watch the rest of your video! Yay!!!! It was amazing!!!!! Just had to comment again, since I finally saw the rest. You guys could so work for Disney advertising......

 

[jedijill]

I watched the video when I got home last night. Absolutely amazing! I felt like I was right there watching after reading your report. Your kids are so cute! The production quality of that video was amazing... definitely professional quality. What an awesome memory!
