The Super Bowl commercials give me chills all the time...I'm such a sap!
We're usually at WDW during the Super Bowl (this year I went on a cruise and fouled everything up...such a pained existence, I tell you!) But I don't think I've ever seen them run the parade so quickly after. That would have been neat to see!
That's so sweet of your little girl to buy stuff for her brother! ...It's things like that which make me want to have kids. Adorable.
Aww you are too sweet!! It is those moments that make you proud as a parent! I hope you had a great time on your cruise!! Are you going to write a TR (even though it is not a
Disney cruise...still want to hear about it!!)
cute update
- that's so nice that DD saved so much money to spend at WDW!!
My DF is a Saints fan (not many British people follow NFL, but he loves all sport so much!) but he couldn't watch the superbowl as it didn't start until 11.30pm UK time!! - he woke up in the middle of the night to check the final score!
Then we watched the whole thing on Monday night (recorded on Sky+, it's our version of TiVo!) - I'm finally learning the rules of the game, I think!!
...lol and I posted the Drew Brees 'Disney World' advert on my facebook page too, so magical!
Looking forward to reading more

That is amazing!!! Your DF has great taste!! It is pretty easy to get once you watch it over and over again! Isn't Drew Brees the best? What a great guy!
Congrats to your Saints!

We were pulling for them here as well (even though it was hard since they beat my Vikes!

). There are 3 former Sooners on the Saints roster, so we had to cheer for them! And, that footage of Drew Brees after the game, all teary eyed, holding his son - that was magical right there!
On to your update - I love the fact that Abby picked the snow globe in order to remember the moment with her brother, and the fact that she bought something for him. That is so sweet!

You're doing a good job, mom!
I also think that is such a clever idea about the picture mat - I can't wait to see the finished product!
Ohhh sorry, I like the Vikings too! Wasn't that the BEST moment in sports history?
Thanks for the compliments! I love when my kids do good things without asking. It makes me so happy!!
I will post the mat on my next Epcot post when we finally make it to the Character Spot!
What a great sister! I love the snow globe she picked out!
Thank you! Isn't it cute?!
Can't wait to see it!
I hope that Test Track was just temporarily closed!

Well...we shall see!
Great updates
Saints!! My Husband and his family were all cheering for them! I am not a football person but that was a great game!
WL looks like a great resort to stay at...love that warm and cozy feeling!
Thank you! The story behind the football is what makes it so amazing!
The WL was the BEST place I have ever stayed. Just love it! It IS so cozy.
Aww what a sweet big sister. She is good at saving! I hope she gets her ride on TT!
She is much better at saving than me!! haha I will post about TT on my next update!
Congrats on the Saints win! My older son was rooting for the Colts, but my 8yr old son is a Saints fan (well, after the Jets, that is!) so he was psyched!
I love the kids fleece jackets! Did you get them in the parks?
So sweet, that Abby bought Aiden the snow globe and bath toys. We have tons of disney bath toys (seems like we are always at disney with one toddler!) and they still play with them at the beach, in the pool or in their water tables! Good investment!
Love your updates! Keep them coming!
The Saints win was truly amazing!!!
I kind of had to get creative with the fleece jackets. I knew what I wanted, but could not find them anywhere. So, I bought red fleeces from
www.thechildrensplace.com and then got a lady to monogram the Mickey and Minnie with their names. You would be surprised to find out how hard it is to find a toddler and an older girl size in the same jacket...took me FOREVER but they turned out great. I think they can use them again in December b/c they fit large.
GREAT idea to use them at the beach!!! We are going in June!
I know, I am ready to find out!!
Okay, I am all caught up now! Let me just say...WHOA!!!! The next time I go on vacation, I seriously want you to come help me get as organized as you are!!!! Girl, you are amazing!!!!! I love the idea of using the plastic containers!!!
I can't believe it was so chilly on your MK day when you got there! Of course, I would have loved it! I stay so hot natured!! lol! But, poor Chad would have been freezing!!!
I am loving all of the pictures and hearing about your sweet family!!!
Oh, and I know you were so excited the Saints won!!!!!!!! WHO DAT!!!!
HAHA buy me a plane ticket!! I am going to do a whole post on the containers since they have brought up so much interest. I divised an even better plan for my December trip...stay tuned!
It was freakishly cold. It was during that whole winter storm thing that came through. Yes, as a preggers lady, you would have been just so comfy! haha
Thank you SO much!!! WHO DAT!
That was so very sweet of your daughter to buy something for her brother! You gotta love that!
We love Spaceship Earth too! Even my DD likes it. And Soarin', Turtle Talk, and Nemo......... you rode all our favorites! Sounds like a great day so far.
Seems to be family favorites of families with any kid under 10

Not only do we love them, but they are SO close together which makes for an easy tour.
YAY for the Saints win!!

My girls have been LOVING the new Drew Brees Disney commercial!!
I am cracking up at Aiden thinking he was getting the seagulls to say "Mine"!!

That is too cute!! And Abby is so sweet to spend her money on her brother!!
Our family loves Spaceship Earth!! Michelangelo painting the ceiling is also one of my favorite parts of the ride!! Incredible!!
Chip and Dale--yay!! Sooo cute!! I can't wait to see how the frame matting turned out!!
Surely Test Track is only closed down temporarily!! Right?!
I need to send you the video we have. It is to die for! He was so proud of himself! haha
SE is amazing. I almost get teary eyed on the Michelangelo part, dont you? I feel like it looks like it is really him...crazy I know!
Chip and Dale were great and turned out to be one of Aiden's favorite meets (we see them 3 times!)
UGH TT...will post more on my next update
What a cute story about Aiden and his seagulls! I bet that was such a fun moment!
I've got to try Turtle Talk with Crush next time. I've never done it but I LOVE Crush

You make it sound like a lot of fun!
I think that is amazing that your DD saved $150! And she's 6, right? Wow! So many kids don't get the concept of saving and then it gets them later in life but she's obviously going to be just fine!

How absolutely sweet of her to buy the nemo set for her brother

She sounds like a wonderful little girl!
We've never seen any characters out and about at EPCOT (well, except for the big white cat but I don't even know her name

) How exciting you saw Chip and Dale! And I love the idea of the frame! I can't wait to see how it turns out
OH you should go see TTWC!! Even people without kids go b/c he is really funny. Sometimes, the kids don't even get his jokes because they are for the older crowd!
She saves SO much better than I do!!! My DH is huge on saving so, he thought that would be a great way to teach her. We told her that she did not have to save all of her money, but she saved it ALL (Birthdays, Christmas, etc).
I will post a pic of the frame on my next update! It turned out SO cute!
I'm a NYer, but SO glad the Saints won!! If any state deserves the pick up, it was LA! I cannot imagine going through the heartache of Katrina, etc.
We LOVE Nemo and Friends! I know a lot of people don't think it's too terrific, but we think it's so well done.
Your daughter is a doll-- must make you feel like you're raising them right when she pulls such a sweet gesture and buys a gift (without prompting) for your son! Also, I wish I had the saving skills she does-- $150! Good job, Abby!
Thats right---proud Mommy moment!!!
LA is SO energized by the Saints. So many amazing things are happening here. Its awesome!
Don't you just love Nemo?
Great trip report. I look forward to your next update

.
Thank you so much for reading!!!
