Goofy is just the best! He always seems to be the most "creative" characters in interacting with people. Of course, he will always hold a special spot in my heart now! I can just imagine how the people behind you must have acted...but hey, it was Goofy's fault, not yours!

FOTLK looks amazing! I have never seen it It's definitely on my list for next time - Lion King is Miguel's favorite Disney movie so I know we're both going to love it. And how exciting that Abby was chosen to participate! It sounds like you all had a positively magical last day.

Oh, I hope you ride EE! You know how much I love that ride! But if you didn't I don't blame you - as much as I love it I don't think I would want to ride it alone.

You are right. We felt that Goofy and Pluto were full of personality. You know, it was probably the same Goofy that proposed to you

My DH told me not to worry about those parents behind us, so I did not! It was a special moment for the kids

WOW! You HAVE to see it when you go back. Especially if it is Miguel's favorite movie. The music is so wonderful.

I do love EE too, but found it REALLY scary thinking of riding alone Glad you think so too!

Wow, I had a LOT of catching up to do...ooops! You all really lucked out with the character interaction and getting to see everyone you had hoped to see! I hope that you mustered up the courage to ride EE!

Awww well, glad you are "back"

We did get lucky with the characters. They were amazing the last few days of our vacation

Updating about EE very soon

What a fantastic interaction with Goofy! On our first trip with the kids he quickly became Jared's favorite character because he would always take some time to 'play' with him. Such special memories for the kids

I'm dying to find out if you rode EE, you're going to have to update quickly!

 

[cdotla]

Thank you!!! We did get so lucky. It was great.

OH you must have misunderstood. We only used the umbrella stroller for our AK morning. Our thought was that we would only be there for 4 hours. We rented from WDW for the rest of our stay in the parks.

FOTLK is one of our faves!

Can't wait to update again

Sorry - I think I knew that! Phew! I could not imagine what type of chiropractic work you and your husband would have needed using that umbrella stroller your whole trip!

Awww I am so glad to hear that about Jared. I love how little boys every year get those experiences with the characters Priceless!

HAHA I am actually updating VERY soon. Got lots to say and loaded up with info for my PTR! Can not wait to share!!

There is NOOOO way that I would ever make it even one full day like that! It was total hell. We bought the stroller on a desperate trip after ours broke one time when we were out. I spent about $15 on it just to last me the rest of the day. We had a huge stroller debate on my friend's TR and we all decided the best way to go was to rent from Orlando Strollers. More on my PTR about that!!!

I know all about that debate on Becky's thread...I think I was the one who encouraged you both to rent! Sorry...lack of sleep this weekend has obviously gotten to me!

Goofy is so funny!! I can't believe he did all that. It's great. Every now and then you get a character that is really into it and I think thats so awesome!

I love FOTLK! Its so cool that your DD got chosen!

I can't wait to show my DH the pic of your DH holding the umbrella stroller! He swears we are taking the umbrella stroller for my DS 10 months but I told him it was a horrible idea and we need the full size stroller. Maybe your Pic can convince him to change his mind! I hope so.

 

[mom2mek]

Great updates, Katie! What a wonderful time you had with Goofy! I can totally picture the other families sneering at you though!

FOTLK is so good, isn't it? I just love it, love it, love it!

(Please tell me you rode Everest????)

[Believeinfairytales]

What a great character interaction with Goofy! I wonder what made him be silly with you guys and not with the others? Aren't you glad you were the lucky ones???

Glad you had a great time at FOTLK. I liked that show, but I think once was enough for me. Maybe I'll try again next year.

Yay for frozen cokes! Ewww....paper straw.

I HOPE you rode Everest!!!!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I'm here now! It may take me awhile to catch up, but I love that there are links! Heading off to read now!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Awesome story about your experience with Goofy! We have a pretty funny home video from when my sisters and I were younger where he gave my one sister a leaf. haha

I hope you rode EE!

I know!!! We were totally shocked.

OH I am so happy I can help fight your stroller case It was SO miserable I can not stress how bad it was. Now keep in mind, this one was a $15 cheap cheap one but it was just horrible. It is worth it to take a nicer one, rent one from WDW or one from Orlando Strollers (we are going to do that next time) HTH

Great updates, Katie! What a wonderful time you had with Goofy! I can totally picture the other families sneering at you though!

Thanks my friend!! HAHA I know, right? They were not happy AT ALL! Oh well Can't win them all.

OHHH I will update about EE soon. I was thinking of you tonight. Abby started crying when my DH told her that she was going to ride EE this year. I don't think she is quite ready yet She said she is scared of the "gorilla" (haha) but I told her "Oh- don't worry about that. He has not worked in 2 years. Daddy and I WANT to see him, but we never do" haha

I have NO idea why he chose us?! It was quite strange!

FOTLK is amazing, but yes, it can be skipped I agree.

The frozen coke was SO refreshing.We just sipped it out of the cup instead of using the horrible straw.HAHA

I'm here now! It may take me awhile to catch up, but I love that there are links! Heading off to read now!

YAY!!! I am so happy you made it! I have one more post on the trip then a wrap up post. Starting my Christmas PTR on May 17th! I would love for you to join in

Awesome story about your experience with Goofy! We have a pretty funny home video from when my sisters and I were younger where he gave my one sister a leaf. haha

I hope you rode EE!

Thanks What dates in December did you go on? We are having that debate now!

I went 12/26 in 2008. I was down visiting my parents for Christmas and my Mom & I went to Epcot that day. We then did the Yuletide Tour the next day. Crazy crowded.

...want to know a secret?? I'm currently trying to figure out how to get myself down there for a weekend this year
