A few reasons... I love Disney World, but I really only get there once every few years. I really didn't even know about this place until I started hanging out around the DIS Boards. I've had my eyes opened to a lot of "new" things I want to experience. My list of things I want to try continues to grow much faster than I will be able to cross things off.
My other main reason... I don't want to be this parent...
DS will be 22 months when we go this fall. Sometimes he does well in restuarant situations, sometimes he doesn't. I don't want to risk ruining someone else's experience, and if he isn't in a mood to sit through dinner, then I'm not going to enjoy it anyway because I'll be dealing with him.
Andy forgot you have a little one. Put it on the list but there are more important things to do with a toddler. Been there, done that. Great fun.
Priceless.
You know I was playing, right? RightÉ My head hurts. I believe I fully understand Jasmine's attributes.
Gosh she's so incredibly life like. Smart a$$.
You know I was playing with you playing with me, right? DD does love Belle though. You are accusing moi as a smart a**.
I ran down here to edit out my emotional ramblings. Da#" you.
Nothing wrong with emotional ramblings. Does the heart and soul good.
Can you imagineÉ ----------------------- French keyboard!!!!!!!!!!! Insert swearing.
Mon Dieu!
Wow I`m shocked. I really thought their policy was not to let them in.
Totally annoying. I remember eating at Turf Club and suddenly there was a parade - scheduled parade by the Turf Club. I actually asked the higher ups why they would do that in a lovely restaurant.
I thought they had a dress code. Guess they don’t enforce it. A Turf Club parade? What was it post time?
ReadyÉ Kids love it. Yep, that`s it - kids must be *happy*
at all times. Cause that`s good practice for adulthood. Laughing. It drives me insane.
Me too.
Killing me. I lived in France`s CS this trip - mmmm. Heaven. I need to stop reading your TRs. I keep mumbling - in a grumpy utterly jealous manner
- one day - ONE DAY.
Yeah officially caught up!!!!
Congrats on catching up. Don’t get mad, get even. Looking forward to your next report.
CJ - I understand that feeling of things changing as they grow up and venture out in the world. You're right, there will be trips but they will be different. Is it bad that I got a little teary as I read that? Your daughter has been through a lot over the last couple of years, and I'm so glad you had some time together before the crazy senior year ahead. Thanks for sharing your trip with us!
You are welcome. Not bad at all that you got teary. I will be a blubbering idiot when she gets her diploma.
It has been a tough road for her and I always told her that she is a thoroughbred and will get through it with her head held high. The way I am looking at it is that different doesn’t mean worse, its just different.
Of course it was fantastic! Your daughter is lucky to have a dad like you!
Great job on all the surprises!
That is a Trip Report I want to read.
Thanks for sharing your pictures and experiences with us!
Thanks man. Keeping my fingers crossed that the mega trip next year happens.
Thank you. I have really enjoyed your trip report.
My pleasure. Well not a real pleasure, a bit burdensome at times but I am glad I did it.
Awesome, awesome trip report. Now you have to come back with the photos of the kitchen cabinets.
Senior year for your daughter, bittersweet time. Sweet for her, a new life in the horizon, but for you, wow, is your life changing. Maybe you need to acquire another child???
Keep us posted. I have enjoyed your trip.
ANOTHER KID? You need your head examined. (Get it, psychology, head examined) It is going to be an interesting time for both of us. I am looking forward to the little bird leaving the nest. It will be sad but also fun.
Since I live less than 1/2 an hour away, meeting up is not a problem unless I am out of town or have major activities going on....I'm hoping that my life calms down as opposed to gets more complicated in the next couple years!
LA, Hawaii and San Francisco would be pretty ambitious for one trip. I think you said this trip is next summer. With Carlsland opening, the VGC will be packed. I would try for weekdays there and be very flexible with your dates. Good Luck!
Enjoyed your TR, sorry it's over, plus I still have about six weeks until I'm back....I'll need to find some F&W TRs to get me through.
Haven’t been to one of my favorite places on earth (Napa/Sonoma) for a while. That is on the to do list and when I am out there, a layover at San Fran and the Disney museum will be in order. Forgot that Carsland is opening then. If I can’t get in at VGC there are other options available. The weekday tip is a good one. I’ll keep you posted on the plans. Hoping everything will come together in November.
Don't forget to post those kitchen remodel photo updates!
Countertops were installed yesterday. The plumbing will be connected to the sink and dishwasher and the doors on the upper cabinets will be in place today. Will post when they are done.
Thank you, i loved the trip report.
Thanks for reading my ramblings.
Thanks for the report, it was fun reading about all of your surprises. You have a lovely daughter who is truly a Daddy's Girl! How wonderful!!!
Cyndi
Thank you. We had a great trip. Glad I can still shock her once in a while.
