I have a friend who has the Flying Monkey Boutique on Facebook, and she makes bows! LMK if you want a link! I had her make the bows for Aria's pigtails, she won't keep in the big ones but even the pig tail bows are awesome!

Thanks - I found her on FB!!

seems like you are getting a bunch done ... and sometimes a little cloud cover is better than full-on Florida sun

that is very cool that they sent you that e-mail about your FP+ .... if they can consistently do stuff like that really is a nice perk of the new system

Awesome MK morning!! you did get a ton done!! How tall is your DD?? I am wondering if Aria will meet height requirements for Astro Orbiter despite being a tall 2 yo!

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

That looks like a pretty darn good breakfast actually.

OMG Julie, Astro Orbiter scared the ever loving life out of me when I was a kid. Petrified!!! It's no different than Dumbo EXCEPT the height. I remember SCREAMING on this. I have to get back on this some day, lol.

WOW, were you all alone at Philharmagic??? It looks empty.

I rode Astro Orbiter two trips ago... that thing is terrifying! It's fast and really high. I wasn't ready for that!
You guys got a lot done! Love the pic of your DD on the carousel

Yum that breakfast looks yummy!

I'm with you, Astro Orbiter was a one and done for me!

Awesome morning at MK so far!

Totally! Clouds are A-OK in my book sometimes! I was really impressed that FP+ was able to recognize that the ride was down and send us alternatives so quickly...very nice!

We did!! DD was ~35inches during our trip. I actually don't think it has a height requirement though!

It was quite empty!! I think earlier in the week it was fairly crowded...but as the week went on, the crowds stayed pretty low. SO NICE!!

And YES, the height does it...makes it feel faster or something?! Especially with no seatbelt!

So glad I am not the only one who was scared on AO! I was almost embarrassed to admit it!! It was a very productive MK day!

Awesome morning at MK so far!

It was a good breakfast!! It was a perfect day - weather-wise and crowd-wise!

A productive morning! Even with Buzz down, sounds like you were able to get in a lot of popular attractions. It's good to know Disney immediately sends an email when your FP has to be missed. Were you able to go straight to the FP line when you decided to go back? And if so, did you have to explain the situation to the CM or was it automatically fixed?


I have to say, Astro Orbiter is one ride I have no desire to take my DS on.

All automatic! So nice!!

Astro Orbiter is deceptively high. You don't think that you're going to be that high up when you're in line for it but boy, when you raise the rocket ship all the way up, it is really up there. DD tried this once a couple of years ago with me and begged me not to raise the rocket up so we stayed as low as we could for most of the ride. She hasn't wanted to go back since.

We're eagerly awaiting the opening of the Mine Ride as well!

Disney has a pretty good way of opening new attractions just far enough apart to give us reasons to keep coming back!!

I love the picture of you and your DD having breakfast in bed.

You got a lot accomplished that morning even with Buzz being down. Good job.

Mickey's Philharmagic is definitely a favorite of ours.

Hi Julie! I am so sorry that I fell behind - I thought I was doing a better job keeping up on the DIS than I was. But I’m here to catch up now!

What a fun Epcot evening. I love your pics from the Character Spot! I have to say that the mushroom soup sounds so good - I had no idea they had something like that at SS. Yum!

Ahhh - breakfast in bed, perfection!

Love the MK Christmas decorations - so pretty! I’m about your Astro Orbiters fear - I detest that ride! I’ve only done it once and always steer Willow away from it - it scares me too.

You got so much done at MK that morning! Nice!!!

Seems like I unleashed a stream of people who are fearful of AO!!! Glad to know I'm not a total wimp!

I love the Christmas decorations at MK...they just bring a smile to my face.

We were going to eat at Pinocchio Village Haus when we were there earlier this month since we hadn't eaten there in years and it was closed. Maybe we can hit it up in September.

I'm glad you got to do Swiss Family Treehouse. It seems to get ignored by most; Mark can't handle the stairs, but I'm planning on making the girls do it again in June.

I can't wait to hear about your supper at Coral Reef (one of our favs).

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Wow you did get a lot done! Peter Pan was under refurbishment our last trip so very much looking forward to going on it our last trip. We also missed out on the Waffle Sandwich at Sleepy Hallow ... but not because the waffle iron was down, but b/c they apparently stop serving them at 5pm

Main St. does look great dress up for the holidays .... kinda sad to think they won't have those decorations that go across the street this year as the Festival of Fantasy Parade floats are too tall.

Swiss Family Robinson is a little gem! I watched that movie a lot as a kid, so it brings back fond memories Definitely make the girls do it!!

And Pinocchio Village Haus was a pleasant surprise! Definitely a good option to keep in mind in September!

Waffles will be at the top of our list on our next trip --- and before 5pm - good tip!

I wondered that about the decorations when I saw pics of the new parade!
