JAMBO Everybody...An August 2011 TR (Completed May 13)

[TanzUnited99]

Yay on eating at WPE - it sure is a great dining choice! That's a shame about the portion sizes getting smaller.

OMG that Strike it Rich Sundae looks amazing!!!

I agree in that Jeff should've bought that jacket and said 'To Infinity and beyond' endlessly!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Hope you are feeling better!

Yay for WPE!!!!

And Ghiradelli!!!

Great pics at DTD it looks like the three of you had a ton of fun!!!

I am so glad you liked your gifts!

Do you know if they had any Woody hoodies, like that Buzz one? I love the Buzz hoodie, but it would be really cute to have one of my boys in Woody and the other in Buzz.

I love shopping at Downtown Disney, too. It's not like they have the same exact stuff every time, so it really never gets old.

Yay DTD!!!!!! I didn't spend a ton of time there this trip but i am excited because i did get 2 spend more time than usual there. I actually saw a ton of people in those buzz sweatshirts when I was there, and funnily enough most of them were young men. I never saw them in the shops though.

Looks like you guys had a ton of fun in DTD

Btw, before I left you asked me to let you know when I started my TR so I though I would post the link here: Good Morning! No Sleeping! A Mother/Daughter January Getaway

If they have them on our next trip, I'm going to buy it for Jeff myself! I have subbed and will be over there as soon as I'm done here! Thanks for letting me know!

Love the furniture Queen-so pretty!! And Avery would love your new suitcase-Belle is her favorite! looks like a fun night at DTD-I plan to be there on thurs

Thanks Mary...you'll have to show Avery the suitcase! You guys are gonna have so much fun on this upcoming trip and I can't wait to hear all about it!

We like to hit DTD the evening of arrival day - its like a "teaser" before the parks! Feel better soon Queen!

Thanks Shelley....I am feeling a little better this evening, could have something to do with resting and sleeping all day...it's the only way I get better it seems

Yay on eating at WPE - it sure is a great dining choice! That's a shame about the portion sizes getting smaller.

OMG that Strike it Rich Sundae looks amazing!!!

I agree in that Jeff should've bought that jacket and said 'To Infinity and beyond' endlessly!

It is so delicious....we really need to try another selection on our next trip We always order the same thing

Me too....he could have so rocked that hoodie!

Hope you are feeling better!

Yay for WPE!!!!

And Ghiradelli!!!

Great pics at DTD it looks like the three of you had a ton of fun!!!

I am so glad you liked your gifts!

Thanks Doll You are never far from our thoughts whenever we're at WPE.... Ghiradelli...love ice cream anytime, all the time!

Do you know if they had any Woody hoodies, like that Buzz one? I love the Buzz hoodie, but it would be really cute to have one of my boys in Woody and the other in Buzz.

I love shopping at Downtown Disney, too. It's not like they have the same exact stuff every time, so it really never gets old.

I didn't see any Kate...only the Buzz ones! That would be so cute on Carter and Landon...too bad they don't take suggestions on what merchandise we would love to see

I find there is always something new to look at and buy at DTD and I always manage to find it

I love the update, Queen. I'm with you...best shopping center anywhere. We've never done WPE, but we did finally try EOS last year and it was great.

Jeff just cracks me up with his poses. He is just too funny.

I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. I saw your FB post at the game last night...hope you had a great time.

I kinda thought we would agree on that EOS is really good for breakfast too, or at least it was the last time we tried it for breakfast which was 2005

Jeff is funny and he really is such a welcome addition to our family. Last night while we were at the game he texted Jas and said "As long as your enjoying yourself babe, I'm at home studying to build a future for us" we cracked up...that his latest saying! Cracks me up! The game was beyond great ... we had a blast!

 

[Queenofallthings]

I've tried 3 times today to get this update to post and if it doesn't work this time I give up! Very frustrating! First, I wanted to give you all an update on Geodoc, Peg and the girl's trip to Turks and Caicos. Apparently they are having a ball and they have seen very little of SW as she is thoroughly loving the kids club....MM not so much....I think she might be the oldest in her group so it's a little boring so she's been hanging with her mom and dad! There last full day is tomorrow and they will be home on Saturday and we can't wait to see them!

Now on to this TR and the latest update! This day brings us to MM's birthday...how lucky was she that she got to celebrate her birthday on her birthday at her favorite place on earth. She got to plan the entire day, which park we went to, what rides we went on and where we would have her birthday meal!

Her favorite park is DHS so that's where we headed bright and early for rope drop .... then headed to.....

her favorite ride at this park...ToT! Here's Jeff posing like the statue....he's entertaining if nothing else!

Now you all know how much MM admires and looks up to Jasmine. Well on this day she wanted her hair just like Jasmine's and she didn't need any help (I asked cause I'm a little OCD about hair) and this was the final product.....too cute for words!
Waiting in the library....love this part! I usually torment the children in here but they all moved away from me....hmmm, guess they've caught on!

Since there was no wait when we got off we decided we would ride again. MM was staking out her territory again....she was sitting beside Jasmine and Jeff was sitting on the other side of me. According to MM, he screamed like a little girl and it was embarrassing for her

Love the theming in here.....

MM made mention that the ghosts housekeeping skills had not improved since our visit here

Waiting in the library again......

After two fabulous rides we ventured over to RNRC

The crowds were super manageable on this day and I find it makes for such a relaxing time....

We stopped in the shop to look for glow in the dark drumsticks for MM for Rock Band, but they had none....bummer!

Gotta love the hat....we were on our way to the GMR when we had to stop and greet some very special characters

Everyone was in line but Peg and I so I decided to take a picture behind us....hey, I was bored!

The fam in line....don't they look lively!

This was one of MM's birthday presents! Isnt' it cute....Jasmine asked Peg if they had them in her size to which Jeff replied "I'm standing right here you know"....aww young love alive and well once again

SW and MM with Tigger and Eeyore

The bigger kids with tigger and Eeyore

Finally we made it to the GMR and Jeff told Jasmine to stop cause I would probably want a picture of them in front of it....yup, he's definitely a keeper

Love the queue, I love it when there's a line here because I really do love looking at everything including the movie clips!

Fuzzy pic of the kids in line.....

Waiting to board

Entrance to the ride....I told Jeff it was a documentary about movies thru the years...he didn't believe me, can't imagine why? LOL

Happy kids....he was a little nervous here and it didn't help when Jasmine insisted he sit on the edge! She played right along.

Peg and MM waiting to get going!

More of MM's special day in the next update!

 

[Missyrose]

Awww, that's so cool to celebrate your birthday AT DISNEY WORLD! I want to do that some day. Isn't it amazing how much you can get done when the crowds are that manageable? It just makes for a much more enjoyable time for everyone! Two rides on ToT and then a spin on R-N-R, I hope no one had too big a meal beforehand!

 

[dawnbu40]

I can't think of a better place to have a birthday! What a lucky girl

You gotta love the low crowds in August where you can do so much without the long waits!

Can't wait to hear more of MM's birthday!

Hey girl....she thought it was very cool to have her birthday there! Jasmine celebrated her 12th birthday in the World and she still talks about it to this day! It is amazing and so relaxing, I absolutely love it!

Nope, everyone had a very light breakfast that morning...mostly because of where we were headed for lunch

I can't think of a better place to have a birthday! What a lucky girl

You gotta love the low crowds in August where you can do so much without the long waits!

Can't wait to hear more of MM's birthday!

She is a very lucky girl...and pretty cute too! I always tell everyone that we can suck it up with the heat and humidity to have those low crowds....love it!

 

[klacey1]

Sounds like a great birthday to me!! Don't know if I'll ever get there for mine (June 2-- depends on the crowds!), but I can only imagine how special she felt!

 

[declansdad]

Sit at the edge. You guys are mean.

I have no idea how the crowds would be at the beginning of June....would be worth a try even if you did the last week of May into June She felt pretty darn awesome!

Sit at the edge. You guys are mean.

We are aren't we...tickles me to torment all the children

 

[IheartDDuck]

OK, I absolutely love MM's shirt! Future Mrs. Beiber.

Awesome that you let MM plan the whole day. I bet she loved that.

 

[MEK]

Great update. Happy B-day to MM! Great t-shirt. I bet she loved that.

The park really doesn't look that crowded. Wow. I wish it had been like that in December.

Two back to back rides on ToT with Jeff screaming like a girl. OMG! Did I not just say there is a screamer on every ToT ride!

 

[wdwgirl03]

I also love MM's t-shirt, that is too cute.

Nothing like starting off the morning with a ride on TOT and RNRC!

 

[Diamondintheruff]

Now you got me thinking about where you went for lunch. I think it's the 50's Primetime and I bet you took your "cousin" waitress aside and told them to extra special nudge, nudge, wink, wink to Jeff.

Love MM's park bag.

Did everyone go on ToT with MM? I thought you had some non thrill riders in your family.

 

[shan23877]

What a great birthday! What a lucky little girl to have her whole family with her at WDW on her special day!

 

[ZehnJahren]

I'm sad to say I didn't find this trip report until today - even though I did a "Jambo" search before my own trip! I'm very much enjoying all of your report and read it all tonight before I'm off to bed. It looks like you had a great trip, and so far everyone is getting along!

 

[Queenofallthings]

She saw the shirt in The Children's Place in July apparently and Peg went back to get it for her...I thought it was too cute!

She did love getting to plan her whole day and I might add that she did a very good job of all the details too!

Great update. Happy B-day to MM! Great t-shirt. I bet she loved that.

Thanks Mary Ellen...that shirt was a hit wherever we went that day! We really luck in with the crowds in August...very lucky!

Yes you sure did....he was beyond funny on that ride and he never did stop screaming, every ride was the same!

I also love MM's t-shirt, that is too cute.

Nothing like starting off the morning with a ride on TOT and RNRC!

She sure wore it proudly! You're so right....sure gets the blood pumping!

Now you got me thinking about where you went for lunch. I think it's the 50's Primetime and I bet you took your "cousin" waitress aside and told them to extra special nudge, nudge, wink, wink to Jeff.

I should have given a better hint, but good thinking on your part. We left DHS for lunch.....

Isn't it a cute bag? She loves it! No, not everyone, Geodoc has yet to ride and according to him, never will

What a great birthday! What a lucky little girl to have her whole family with her at WDW on her special day!

It was such a wonderful day and she is such a wonderful little girl. She is so fun and funny....something I love in people!

Welcome! ....and wow, I'm impressed that you read the whole thing before bed, glad I didn't bore you to sleep We had a great trip and I can't wait to tell you all about the second week of it!
