Wow - you really remember that Boardwalk morning with such great accuracy. I am impressed. Well - of course Henry wants the cereal. Sheesh - mom! You're right. It's all about the marketing.
Love you pictures. Right now I had a 3 night reservation at VWL for June (following my 5 night treehouse stay), but I think I am going to try for BWV at 7 months. Suggestions for a location? The treehouse is for a big group. Then I am following it with a studio for just Denny and I. We'll need some downtime!
Congrats to Henry on his first day of school. Yes - from here on out it will fly!
I took notes this trip!!! May and August, not so much....
But this trip I was REALLY good at notes! I typed into my iPhone whenever I had a free minute - on the buses and stuff.
For the Boardwalk I would recommend a Village Green view (if you have a Garden view room). That is where our first trip to the BWV was and it was AWESOME. You got some of the Boardwalk and water, plus the Garden and it was very close to the elevators. Looooooved it!
Glad Henry had such a great first few days of school! Such a cutie pie
Thank you!!!
OK, I am going to have to add eating at the Boardwalk Bakery to my list of things to do in April. Thanks for the pictures...we were just able to switch our reservation from SSR to BWV and I can't wait!
You did?! YAYYYYYYY! I'm so excited that you could switch it! I know you've been itchin' to stay there! I hope you LOVE it!
I have had those times. You try your darndest to just relax and go with it but it keep slapping you in the face.
All in all you had breakfast and everyone ate. Maybe not what you originally intended but everyone ate something.
A second cup of coffee is just what you neeed that morning.
In the Boardwalk the Bellvue lounge used to serve breakfast. It was the same stuff - bagels, pasteries coffee and cold stuff but when we stayed there way back in 2001 pre -9-11 we made it our morning stop. Not having a real counter service was a problem that trip.
I hope Mickey sticks around.
Exactly! That real life kept interrupting our magical breakfast!
I believe the Bellvue Lounge still does that - and we should have just gone there and then out to the Boardwalk to eat, but I didn't even think of it!
And perhaps they have a toaster....
Yeah for a good first day at school! I love the picture of him posing - so cute.
Isn't he a ham?! I told him to stand and smile and that is what I got!!!! They make cute pics though!
Ah, I got all teary-eyed seeing Henry's First Day of School pictures. That frog backpack was the height of cuteness! Glad he enjoyed every minute of it!
Back to your Boardwalk breakfast -- that is so what would happen to me. I would envision this great morning of sheer family joy while sipping coffee and the reality would turn out to be the exact opposite. Thank goodness for cheese danishes.
The pictures turned out gorgeous, though.
Isn't that backpack adorable? He picked it out at Old Navy.
Cheese danishes and coffee really can solve life's problems at times.
After all the craziness it really was a nice morning thankfully! We just laughed it off (but we were NOT laughing in the moment!
)
Ahhh, those are such cute first day of school pictures. I think I started following your early trip reports via Memom and Jill's trip report a long time ago. Wow, time flies.
Isn't it crazy how quickly it goes? When I got back on the DIS, planning our 2nd trip, Henry's 1st, I think he was about 4 months old! I was posting on MeMoms' shortly after that, I remember asking Jill all sorts of "baby at Disney" questions!
Love your thought about long days and short years. It's so, so true. Awesome 1st day of school pics. What a cute little guy!
Isn't it? I cannot remember who told me that at one of Henry's baby showers, and I didn't understand it at the time, but it's practically my motto now!
Great update! I mean, I know that the breakfast didn't go exactly as planned, but often when you have time to look back later, they're the best ones
Henry looks like he had a great first day of school!
They are the most memorable and laughable, that is for certain!
There always has to be a hiccup (or two) in a trip anyway, right??
I can't believe Henry is in school! Waaaaa!
Where has the time gone? I ADORE the posed picture, if that isn't cute then I don't know what is.
Thanks LL! It has flown by, hasn't it? He's getting to be a little man!
The idea of a nice leisurely breakfast on the Boardwalk sounded lovely... 
Sorry it didn't live up to expectations. 
Henry looked adorable on the first day of school!!! Such a cutie! I'm glad things have started out well for him & he loves it!
Thankfully after all the chaos of the actual breakfast, it greatly improved! In the moment though...not fun!!!
Glad to hear Henry is doing well in school, but I'm worried about that Mickey...
Stay tuned....Mickey drama later this night, but first a very fun afternoon!
cant wait to read more
I hope the day gets better! 
You should seriously consider trying to get him in commercials or print work! Your relationship with your husband is similar to mine when it comes to vacation planning. I do all the trip bookings and planning and my husband reminds me that he doesn't want to rush in any parks and just wants to take it easy since he works hard all year and needs his down time when on vacation. I used to fight it and get frustrated but I've come to the realization that I would enjoy the trips more if I tended to stop and smell the roses a bit more too, so it works for us both now. I always have my ADR's planned ahead and what parks we'll be in for each day but now we have the mindset that whatever we get done in a day is what gets done. I still feel frustrated when I think he's walking too slow and I just want to get ahead of a crowd, but I try to remind myself how lucky I am that my DH loves to go to Disney as often as we do! I've really enjoyed seeing the excitement on Henry's little face when he tries something new. I'm looking forward to reading more of your TR
