Those pictures are amazing! How on earth did you get such good pictures while on the tea cups???Lilian is just so precious.
Cant wait till the next update!!!
Lilian has always been attracted to rocks, she actually has started a rock collection. She LOVED the Tea Cups!!I've never read it. I'll have to soon!
Great shots of Lily on the teacups! She looks so happyThe teacups were closed while we were there
So was IASW but that song drives me nuts after awhile so I wasn't too heartbroken lol.
I'm really enjoying your report so far!
Just fyi - your link in the table of contents for Day 1, part 3 isn't working properly. I think the front of the url has some unnecessary info.
! Thank you, I am really trying to not be monotonous, as that does not make for great reading! I love your pictures
Your DD is just soooo cute! I'm partial to red heads though, having one of my own. But her facial expressions after seeing the castle for the first time & the ones on the tea cups are precious
The group pics from the photopass is great, your DD will look back on those years from now & only remember the special 4th birthday spent at WDW, the drama will never be remembered by her. However, for those of us reading along, it makes for fun reading
I appreciate how you include all the details, even if they aren't those Norman Rockwell moments. I did the same on my TR, we didn't get along the entire time but it's okay, that's the reality of it
Looking forward to reading more
Nope, Lilian will not remember any of the drama, in fact she was not aware of most of it when it was happening. I bore the brunt of the dissatisfaction, tempers, frustrations with DH occasionally thrown into the mix. I really tried to diffuse the situations as fast as I could, so it would not affect us for long. Looking back on it all, I think a lot of it had to do with the heat/dehydration more than anything. One of the many lessons learned on the trip--drink plenty of fluids, even if it means going to the bathroom more frequently! 
I had this idea of going to Disney with my brother once we both have kids, and bring my mom and step-dad along too, but maybe I'll reconsider that after finishing to read your TR.
At least it's nice that you were able to enjoy so many firsts with your DD and DH. Love those pictures on the Tea cups!
) to those reading along planning extended family trips.
You will find that things lighten up considerably towards the end of the trip. I am going to write out some lessons learned, that may be beneficial (or not
DH and I felt overwhelmed many moments because of the situations causing drama, but we found if we stepped back and focused on DD, we could get out of any funk quickly.
Thank you so much! I use a Canon Rebel XS. You know I have not added them all yet but I had an 8G memory card in my camera and there were several days I came close to filling it up. Mind you, I took many duplicate shots with the faster shutter speeds. I would guess 1500 on average a day, with duplicates. Pairing down to discount duplicates and out of focused shots--900 shots at least per day. On Tuesday, her birthday, I took way more than that I'm sure. I am still going through pictures actually because of the large volume.
