Late to the party as usual, but I'm here.
Subbing!! Can't wait to follow along and see all your photos.
I lurked in previous trip reports and loved each one. This is going to sound creepy (because it probably is) but I *think* saw you and Katie at the MK lockers on Friday 12/14. We were rushing to get our stuff and head to the castle lighting and an ADR. I thought for a moment about saying hi, but then I thought it was too creepy of me, being a lurker and such You'll have to confirm if the timing was right. I suspect it was around 5:30 p.m. or so.
So excited to learn about your BOG experience(s)!! it looks like such a fun place to dine for lunch as compared to Cosmic Rays! Since CS Lunch is crazy everywhere - I would rather see the BOG rooms than the other places in the craziness! Then of course there is the coveted dinner ADR... I am all
I am also looking forward to reading about your latest encounters with the elusive Belle! It is so odd (unbelievable!) indeed that they did not plan more Belle staffing/MGs when they added so much Belle real estate to MK!!
Love what I see so far... keep it coming!

Late to the party as usual, but I'm here.
Joining in! Can't wait to see all of the gorgeous photos.
Curious--I knew that Rapunzel had replaced Aurora at TsTheater, but I hadn't heard that Belle was no longer there. Who's in there now?
Sounds like the only places to meet Belle now are at meals and Epcot (besides storytime, but that's just not the same)
We just officially booked our summer trip-luckily my DD prefers Disney's princess dresses (more sparkle) to the 'authentic' ones that mom insists upon making. However, she's put in her order for a full wardrobe of princess dresses for her American Girl doll.
Can't wait to hear more about the trip. I love your TRs because you guys do so many of the same things that we do!
Julia would be on cloud 9 although if she recognized her from our 2011 trip it might blow her believing that the face charcters at Disney are the real thing.We'd love to hear more from you! And thank you so much for the kind words. And yes, it has been a year of much change for Katie. It's fun to see the young lady she is becoming.
Aw shucks. Thanks Glennie!
How much fun would it be to go visit Katie working as a real live princess at Disney!
Darn tootin'!!!Well, THAT's the reason I didn't really get started yet. I was waiting on Jenn. Yeah..... that's it. It's HER fault!
Oh yeah???Jenn, I channelled you one night in the MK. That's all I'm saying.
Julia would be on cloud 9 although if she recognized her from our 2011 trip it might blow her believing that the face charcters at Disney are the real thing.
If you were in MK and channeling me, it couldn't end well...
Hi! So glad you found us!
TST is almost always Cindy, Aurora and Rapunzel now. Snow White is still out in the hub area.
And you are correct, Belle is now only at Epcot in France (without the Beast now) and Akershus. She is not at CRT any longer. And while you can get a quick photo with her after storytime (participants) it's not a traditional meet & greet. It is very rushed there are no autographs. The only place Belle signs now is at Epcot.
YEAH for getting your trip booked! So is the AG doll coming along with her wardrobe?
Thanks for the warm welcome and for the princess information. We had the BEST interactions with Belle on our last tirp. I'm disappointed that it's going to be so much harder to find her now.
AG doll only has a Cinderella dress for now. I made it from scraps that I had from Maddie's last Cindy dress. DD loves it, but I plan to make another. So far she's giving me time-as long as I'm making other clothes for the doll.
Hey! Where's the updates?
Kenny the Pirate is reporting a new dress for Belle: "Disney is continuing its plans to recreate all the dresses that the Princesses wear in the theme parks. The trend began with Cinderella receiving a new look for her meet and greets. On or about February 3, 2013 Belle will receive a new gold ball gown, hairstyle and accouterments."
Sew you know you will have to go back to WDW instead of DL.
Hey! Where's the updates?
Jen popcorned you!
I shouldn't talk, she threatened me a while back with popcorn.
But then again, I want to see more too!!

That walk is long and i don't care what anyone says, it's just a tad too far.
LOL about the gym teacher with 30 minutes of physical activity
Katie looks sooo mature! She looks tall too actually!
Can't wait to see your AoA pictures. We stayed at Pop when we were just there and I so badly wanted to walk over and check it out but we ran ourselves so ragged that any time we were at the resort I didn't want to walk an extra step
Departure day always seems hectic no matter how much we plan and take care of things before hand and to complicate school with the trip would be hard for sure. When we went to Disneyland back in 2007 for a small weekend trip and it was hard for the kids to come back late and make up all that school work even though they just missed two days. Glad you made it safely and wow such a wonderful lobby view of AoA. Can't wait to see more of the resort through your lens!
We have our own dilemmas right now. The High School is taking an Orlando trip this May to march at Universal and SeaWorld and we had planned not to go but the Band Teacher has asked if we could change our minds as my son is one of the top performers. We had originally planned not to take a big vacation as we hoped to divert all monies to my oldest going to college this fall. So hard to know what to do. I wanted to go back to Disneyland this Christmas for a long weekend and just not do Christmas at home meaning that most of their presents would be the trip which they are more than happy with but now this has complicated matters. I was kind of hoping to take a small vacation around the midwest to see other parts of the country or maybe head to Washington DC.
Anyways always enjoy reading your trip reports, watching Katie have a blast, and seeing the world through your lens. Your such a wonderful photographer Janet. Have a good finish to your weekend!
Woo.. You have arrived!

Yay!
I agree with you both. There's a lot of green space between buildings. It could have been closer.
