Leaving the Disney-Hater at Home: A Dorky Disboutiquing Diser Sista Trip Report 6/4

[Girldreamer02]

Did Tessa ever get her bracelet fixed? That had to of been so upsetting to her We've never rode Dumbo...probably for the same reason as you...also that we don't have children so we don't really see a reason to go on it. We do however ride Peter Pan and Winnie the pooh! I love those rides! I hate waiting for them though...why do the shortest rides always have the longest wait times? They are continuous...you would think they'd be shorter. We love CP!!! We love us some winnie the pooh too! He is my fave! I'm glad you guys had a good time there. Maybe next time you'll put them in outfits if you go to CP? Heheh. I can't wait to hear more!

First of all, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Dumbo outfits! So cute! Secondly and completely off-topic, Lily and I were just on our way home from dropping the kids off at school and she said "mommy, which house is Tessa's?" I told her it was very far away and she said "past the mountains?" Thirdly, OF COURSE I will fix Tessa's bracelet! (and any others that may be broken ) Luke was actually thrilled that she cared so much. Poor sad Tessa, tears at Disneyworld!

Hey, we brought instant oatmeal! But we brought the kind that was already in it's own container. We heated up water in the coffee pot.

I'm sorry it was so chilly for much of your vacation! You should've gone a week later

We love pin trading!

We didn't make it on Dumbo this trip Sawyer is SO CUTE with his sword! What a wonderful magic moment!

I love the carousel pictures! My girls got on it and were...wait, I should save SOMETHING for my TR.

At one point I spent 20 minutes (in line for teacups) trying to get a decent picture of Luke. I gave up when he fell off a curb and skinned his knee.

When you took a survey, didn't they give you the "I took a survey" sticker so you wouldn't get bugged to take any more surveys?

Your kids were loving Pooh because he is a big fat furry cute bear!!! Hey, I tried the ratatatouille too! My kids argued with me that Remy did NOT make it You told me about that rare meat so when I went I asked for well done and they stuck my piece on a little rack over the fire until it was nice and cooked!

 

[jham]

I just read that they are making an awesome Little Mermaid ride at California Adventures! Of course it won't be done for years...

All caught up. Glad your liked CP. We loved it there. Looks like you had a fab morning in Fantasyland.

What is this nonsense about getting rid of Snow White???? Walt's ashes are turning over his his urn

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Great Update!
Sounds like a yummy breakfast.

Your Mom looks like a very cheerful and sweet lady. She looks at Tessa and Sawyer with a lot of love in her eyes.

Glad to hear that the bracelet would be fixed. I would have cried too.

I like your pins (you can see a couple in the IASW pictures)

It is really cool that you got to ride Dumbo first. You guys must have really been walking fast! The plastic tags are counters like Jessica said. I think Feathers would be really neat! Even pictures of feathers that were laminated would be neater than those plastic things.

Where is the circus wagon? I haven't ever noticed it?

Crystal Palace Lunch is yummy. We haven't been there in a while but I love the salmon they serve!

That was nice that they gave Sawyer a sword on Peter Pan!! Very cool.

Holy Moley! I was expecting the pacing of your other TR so I haven't clicked on this TR for a few days and found out you are posting at record speed and I missed all sorts of updates.

Just a few things. . .

I love the IASW cookie jar though I am surprised you have one.

I agree your mom is adorable and seems to be a wonderful grandma!

I loved the mom and daughter story too.

We have also discovered that you can really buzz through the Fantasyland attractions and meet Ariel with no wait if you go early. Just don't share our secret with too many people.

What is up with that Cinderella? We have always had good luck with Cinderella. My DD was kissed by Ariel on her first trip and was beyond thrilled. I am glad to hear Sawyer enjoyed his kiss from Belle.

Sawyer does look so grown up! So does Tessa looking at the flashback photos you posted (which I love).

Now I know. . .I better click on your TR every day so I don't get left behind!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I intend to move at lightning speed with this one! This has nothing to do with the fact that I didn't take any notes and I'm afraid I'll forget stuff if I don't move fast.

Great TR so far. Wonderful job on all the customs.
Amazing cookie jar collection.

Hugs to Tessa about the broken bracelet. Here's hoping Jeanne can fix it.

She said she can!!

Okay...I was sure I had posted....hmmm...why haven't I....

so here we go...

First I want to state that I am so upset that Henry did not go on this vacation...I will miss all of his rear shots. (and just so youu know...no the horse's butts do not equal! )

Second...I also LOVE your cookie jars...why do you have the IASW one...you hate that ride and then you dissed my favorite ride to the survey taker!

LOVE all the pics of you guys!

Love the idea of the daughter and mother in the beginning...I hope that is me someday...I'm sure one of my kids will hold me up...maybe...I hope!

Wow, you know how to get on some rides quick! I have to figure out how to motivate my family better this next trip.

I too would fall asleep in the country bear thing...it drives me batty!!!!!

I want to try CP...I LOVE Pooh...Katie's first room was all Pooh!

Awww...it's good to know the Henry fanny club is still going strong! Hey, that reminds me! Where's Karen??

My mom's favorite ride is It's a Small World, so that's why I have the cookie jar. Plus, it's super cute!

Sorry, I just don't like Snow White very much! The Little Mermaid would be much cooler!

Get there at rope drop next time, even if you have to drag the kids out of bed!

Yeah, maybe I should do some Pooh outfits for the kids next time. But, by then Sawyer might protest against it, depending on how old he is!

I love that Lily! Did you tell her that Tessa does live past the mountains?

I'm glad Tessa's pain brought Luke so much joy! That bracelet in particular really means a lot to her!

There aren't any coffee pots at Pop Century. When we've stayed at other hotels, we've done the same thing by heating up water that way! Great minds think alike!

I really wish we would have gone a week later!

No, I didn't get an "I took a survey sticker". I'm crushed!

I just read that they are making an awesome Little Mermaid ride at California Adventures! Of course it won't be done for years...

OOOHHHHH!!!!!!! I am SO there!!!!!

All caught up. Glad your liked CP. We loved it there. Looks like you had a fab morning in Fantasyland.

I'm sorry! I had no idea anyone really liked that ride! I hope they don't close it down now because of me!

The circus wagon is right next to Dumbo. I think there's a DVC station right next to it.

I tried the salmon at CP. I really don't like seafood, but I try it every once in a while, just to be sure I don't like it. Nope, still don't like seafood!

 

[MaryAz]

What a great update. Poor Tessa and the bracelet. Crystal Palace looks so yummy. The pics with your mom and Tessa were so cute. To bad it was so cold. You ae making me very excited for my trip in 81 days!!

 

[DisneySherpa]

Long time lurker of this and your last trip report

I've been hooked ever since the "sawyer vs. prince charming" moment of your last report

Great report so far... can't wait to read more...

 

[MouseTriper]

Oh Heather...I am loving your TR. I am finally all caught up. The kids looked ADORABLE in their Dumbo outfits. I so want some of those for my kids. They are so stinkin' cute!!!

The next time I get to go to WDW (which WILL be this year sometime, I hope) I must take the kids to Tom Sawyer's Island.

That is so neat that the CM just handed Sawyer that sword on Peter Pan. My DD would have flipped for one too...Peter Pan has been her favorite since she was about two.

Love Tessa's new ears....so cute!!!

Now I hope you are up late working on the next installment of your lovely TR..if not, hurry up will ya!!

Ohhh and I have to say that you are right, your Mom is just adorable too!!

I know, she was just heartbroken! She's a very sentimental girl.

I hope you have better weather for your trip!! Actually, I'm sure you will. It might even bee too hot!

Wow!! You have been reading for a long time! That picture of Sawyer and Prince Charming is still one of my all-time favorites. It still makes me go into a giggle fit every time I see it!

Thanks for commenting and letting me know you're there!

If your daughter's name was Tessa, I'd work out a deal with you. It's not a real good school outfit and I don't know when she's going to wear it again. Too bad I embroidered her name on it!

I don't know if they do it every day or not, but it looked like she had about 20 swords to hand out first thing in the morning. It was such a magical moment (it would have been even better if Sawyer wasn't crying).

I was actually sleeping last night! I can't stay up until 1:30am every night like my sister does! I only do that when I've got too much on my mind to sleep!

OOOH!!! REALLY????

Mom IS very special! She always looks at the kids like that!

Sorry, I just don't like Snow White very much! The Little Mermaid would be much cooler!
!

I don't really care for it either, and....





I don't like the Pooh ride either.

There, I said it!

I hate that there are so many "non-themed" spaces. I don't want to think I'm on a ride, I want to think I'm in the 100Acre Woods! I will never for the life of me understand why there is ALWAYS such a long line for that ride at Disney World!

I do however, LOVE the Peter Pan ride,which I rode a total of ZERO times on this last trip.
Somehow though, I think we ended up riding Pooh at least three!

 

[HeatherSue]

I thought this would be a good place to add some of my photopass pictures!

I warned you that they were dorky! I always feel SO stupid when they tell me to do this pose.

This was my favorite one. Tessa said she didn't see Tinkerbell in her hand. We told her that she flew away so fast, that only the camera could see her.

I love this with the decoration! I believe this is where Tessa was telling her "I've been waiting 5 years to meet you!"

The famous kiss!!

 

[teresajoy]

Great pictures Heather!!! I love your dorky poses!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I am just in tears over the story of the older woman and her daughter! It was so beautiful and thank you for including this in your report. I love all the photos and the photopass ones are cute.

Thanks for posting the trip report.

I almost feel guilty alot because I NEVER put our names on anything for this reason! I did add them to Dallas' family shirt this time though!

I love the photopass pictures. Hmm, I think I saw those somewhere before. BTW, I ordered it.

I don't like doing the dorky poses either!

 

[jham]

OOOH!!! REALLY????

I don't like the Pooh ride either.

There, I said it!

I hate that there are so many "non-themed" spaces. I don't want to think I'm on a ride, I want to think I'm in the 100Acre Woods! I will never for the life of me understand why there is ALWAYS such a long line for that ride at Disney World!

I love the pooh ride at Disneyland! The line is all outside and feels very 100 acre-woodsy.

Cute photopass photos Heather! I really love the one of Belle kissing Sawyer! His little face is so cute!

Here is the info on the Mermaid ride from the Feb. 19 Passporter newsletter: (an article by Cheryl Pendry)


Some of the most radical changes will be made to Paradise Pier and the second phase of those changes have already begun, with the closure of Golden Dreams. Previously home to a stirring film history of California, this is now making way for a new Little Mermaid dark ride, due to open in 2011. I can't wait to see this, as the concept drawings looked quite something.


I want to go to Disneyland just to see the plans for the California Adventure update! The last time I was there, there was A LINE just to see the PLANS!

Awwww LOL...I think from now on you should just embroider a big "T"...now that would work for both Tessa and Taylor...!!! Sounds perfect to me!!! Hahahaha...

I thought this would be a good place to add some of my photopass pictures!

Oh I LOVE all these pictures!!!! That one of Sawyer getting the kiss is too cute!!! And Tessa missing Tink in her hands...way too funny!!

 

[MouseTriper]

Great pictures Heather!!! I love your dorky poses!

??? ??? Dorky pictures???? Did I miss some "dorky pics"???
TERESA.....Heather never takes dorky pics...aren't you supposed to be sweet to your little sister??? Hahahahhaha..

I cannot TELL you how excited I am about this!!! Do you think it will be like this one that was in the Little Mermaid video??? I wanna see it! I wanna see it!!

I don't usually put Tessa's name on things, but she was getting jealous that the Wish kids got their names on stuff, but she didn't!
