[Todd_H]

Whew! Finally got caught up.

Terry, your pictures turned out great! Love the Wishes shots and your teacup shots are fantastic! Great job!

 

[oregondaddyof2]

tea cup pictures are great!

I feel so bad for you because I know what it's like to be there and in pain.

Thanks!

Great updates! I've had kidney infections and stones in the past, so I know the pain you were in. Hope it didn't last too long!

Thanks. I felt bad for her since we were supposed to be in the happiest place on earth, and she was in misery.

Fantastic TR and beautiful pics.

Thanks!

Whew! Finally got caught up.

Thanks Todd. I appreciate it. I was a little disappointed with them at first, but after post processing, I was okay with them. The teacup shots are my fav! I never would have thought about a shot like that until i saw something like that in the photo section of these forums.

Day 10... Part 1...

Today was a much needed sleep in day for us... We took our time getting ready and made it to Epcot about 11:30... We were planning for a very relaxed day today, Terry was looking forward to getting some pictures...

We got a fast pass for the Kim Possible mission and had a little time to kill, so we let the kids go play with the Firetruck and the "Where's the Fire" Game...

They thought that was pretty cool!

We then made our way to Norway to start our Kim Possible mission...

Time to start our mission, Terry actually put his camera away for this and just had fun with his kids This is the only pic we have...

The kids had a great time on their mission and is something they would like to do again... We did think it was pretty time consuming though...

We headed to Mexico, Alec and Tailor really wanted to ride the Gran Fiesta Tour...

Then off to China to watch the 360 show... We really never paid attention to any of the shows in the World Showcase and this trip we made it a point to actually watch them... Well, we liked them but the bad part is, now we really want to visit those places!!!

Here are some shots Terry got in China...

Next up... FUNNEL CAKE... None of us had ever had a funnel cake before.... Now we all dream about it at night... SO yummy...

We took a boat from the US pavilion to Future World and ran off for Honey, I shrunk the Audience...

I really tried to give the 3D shows a shot this year, I normally get sick watching them... This one was okay but I did feel kinda queasy and I FREAKED when the snake made it's lovely appearance! I am deathly afraid of snakes so this was not a pleasant surprise!

Day 10... Part 2...

We went to ride Soarin'... The kids never got tired of this ride, they would just ride it all day if we let them...

Next was Nemo, and we stopped to get a few pics...

It was time to start heading to Canada for our ADR at Le Cellier...

We ran into Chip and Dale along the way...

We made to our ADR and were seated within about 2 minutes... Our waiter was very friendly and let us pay for Alec OOP since he just wanted a cheese pizza and the rest of us were on the DDP...

We all thought the food was very good and we will definitely be returning...
This is Terry's plate...

Desserts

Okay, so when it was time to order dessert, Alec had to use the little men's room... SO he asked me to order him ice cream... And being the good mom that I am, I messed with his head and told him I thought he wanted the fruit cup... Oops, sorry kid... My bad! Our waiter head us giving him a hard time and decided to play along!!

Here was his real dessert...

Next Up... Does Tailor finally get to see Illuminations??? Or do the Devil horns make a return appearance....

 

[MAGICFOR2]

We have been good... Just working our the house, and Terry is working in general... The kids are doing good in school... I got all my Christmas shopping done...

I have the Disney Blues though.... In a really bad way...



Thank you! And I agree with Bill... Although I would recommend the D5000, it's the new model and has some better options than ours... Terry is actually going to buy it next year...



Thank you! Tailor was out, we tried to wake her, but it was not happening...
She didn't even know she missed the parade until Terry made our video and she saw the pictures... She was mad...

Is it cold down there? We are freezing up here... 15 degrees, pipes are bursting... We are not used to this weather...



Thank you!

How are the house remodels going?? I am so far behind on TR's that I have no idea what is going on anymore...

Sorry for the late response - I was frozen solid! When you asked, it was -8 overnight. We had a few frozen pipes around, but most of us are prepared as it happens every few years. It's back up in the 40s again, 20s at night.


I hope you didn't have too much kidney trouble. My DH has had stones a few times - not pretty. Your LeCellier dinner looked great! We haven't tried that one yet. Glad Tailor rode and loved Soarin'! I'm looking forward to your next installment.

I love the pix of Alec with Chip or is it Dale? Alec seems to having just as much fun as the characters are having.

 

[winkers]

I know I say it every time, but awesome pictures!

Look at that gorgeous sky!

I love the Epcot pictures, they are just fantastic. I was showing them to Bill and I have been informed I am not allowed to show him pictures from your trip report again because it makes him want to get me that camera . The kids looked like they were having a great time!! We loved Chip and Dale at Epcot they were so funny.

I hope Tailor got to see Illuminations this time.

 

[oregonmommyof2]

I just wanted to let everyone know we are still around... Terry has been very busy at work, a lot of overtime... I am ready for the kids to go back to school!!! We have been trying to get my parents surprise anniversary party planned... I think we just need to get the cake figured out, which I am calling the decorator tomorrow... The save the date cards are going out next week...

We will get going here real soon, hopefully tomorrow!!!

Stay tuned!

Day 10... Part 3

After our amazing dinner at Le Cellier, we were going to go scope out our spot for Illuminations, but Tailor asked very sweetly for us to make a detour so she could ride Spaceship Earth...

On our way to the ride...

The kids picture...

Once the ride ended we made our way to the spot for Illuminations... Terry set up 2 tripods, one for Bertha and the other for our camcorder...

Tailor had been very good, and even told us that she knew better to not be naughty because Mommy would take her back to the hotel...

She made friends with a few little girls and they all played with the CM's that were out there...

She had so much fun playing! Once it was getting crowded, she came back and sat with us, and we got some snacks, popcorn and frozen drinks...

And here are a few of the fireworks!

Tailor loved the show and was very glad that she decided to keep her devil horns firmly planted inside her head...

We made our way to the bus stop and get back to Pop... This is what we found when we rounded the corner to our room...

The kids were thrilled with this... Tailor was on the verge of sleeping, but not after she saw it, then she was awake and wanting to play!!! Took a little while to get her settled back down and ready for bed.

Up Next... Terry has to hold Toni back from causing bodily harm to a lady who needs a visit with Child Protective Services...

 

[jordanyosh]

Cant wait for the WWE Smackdown!

WDW is magical. Where else can kids play like they do at Disney!

 

[oregonmommyof2]

Day 11... Part 1...

We were up and at 'em by 8:30am...

Sent Terry to the food court to grab some breakfast...

This morning we were separating... Tailor and I were going to have a nice lazy morning, do some laundry and just hang out together and watch cartoons... Terry and Alec were going to hit Blizzard Beach...

The boys got some photopass pics while they were having their boy time...

Terry going down Summit Plummit, and do you see who is next in line??? My baby boy was going to attempt Summit Plummit...

You can barely see the top of little man's head in this one...

He is so light that he had to walk off the slide, he didn't make it all the way to the end...

Round 2...

And of course the obligatory Jordan pose...

Here are pictures taken with our waterproof camera...

Holy moly, that is a long way down...

Ode to Jordo...

The boys were back at Pop at Noon, they got cleaned up and ready to head back out with us girls to Animal Kingdom! We caught the bus at 1pm and were on our way...

 

[oregonmommyof2]

Day 11... Part 2...

We have arrived!!

We made our way to the Nemo show... This was a new one for us...

We all really enjoyed this show and are very glad that we took the time to see it....

Next up... Our eventful parade...

 

[SarahandPaul]

Just wanted to come out of Lurkdom to say that we are loving your trip report. We are fellow Oregonians and Beaver fans too! Can't wait for more updates.

 

[jennJK]

Great TR so far!!! It's one of my favorites. (ok, i'm a newbie and have read about 4 or 5 and they've all been good )

Your pics are amazing and you seem like a fun family.

I like that the WDW fastpasses have that little tray to collect the fastpass as it comes out of the machine. I'm not always the most coordinated (yes, clumsy) and it's stressful trying to not let the fastpass fly away at DL. (i think y'all call it DLR?)

 

[jordanyosh]

I wonder what the person taking the pictures are thinking with the tongue and power fist pose......
