Marriage: The Trip Report - Update 2/28 - Final Thoughts & Link to Disneyland TR!

[jenseib]

Wow...those are great small world pictures. And castle shots too. I tired to get one "through" it too, but I haven't even looked to see how well it turned out yet.
We only do Peter Pan when the line isn't ten miles long. We were lucky enough to get right on this trip with late EMH's. Itg is a neat ride. I always forget that even though Claire has done some of these rides in the past, she was little and it has been 2 years since our past trip, so some of it seems new to her again.

I missed sooooooooooo many updates! I'm in exactly the same situation as you...it's hard enough keeping up with my own TR, much less reading everyone else's!

I love all your pics -- especially your springtime in NY ones! That brownstone is incredible.

All in all, what a wonderful first day at WDW! Can't wait to hear about the next 12.5!

Loved your update Look at all the pixie dust you are getting, its sweet Peter Pan is a great ride, but I won't stand in line for it... fastpass is the future... lucky for you, you received more Lets see where you use them

That was the end to day one?!!!! Well I am just glad I didn't get too far behind!!
Too funny about the camel on the flying blankies!!! You were his target!! How fun that MandM were on the same Dumbo ride as you!! That is a rockstar moment!!
Love that H was blowing kisses to his castle girl!! That is just adorable
Great pixie dust on the extra FP's

isn't the castle mosaic so beautiful?

I didn't have the opportunity to take as many pics since there always seems to be sooooooooooo many people in there.

Love the updates Brook!!

You know we have never been on the "flying blankies". Not sure why but just one of those things. I bet Henry did love the camel "spitting" on you.

I love the Easter pics of Henry. He is such a cutie!!

Love the story of the "castle girl". I love how she played along with him.

Enjoy every minute when they are little. The time sure goes fast!! My "baby" is going to his Junior prom tonight. He is all dressed up in his tux right now.

 

[DisMomAmy]

Holy Cow! That was only the first day?

I love the flying blankie pictures with all of the lights wizzing by in the background.

Amazing mojo with the fastpasses!

I'm a new follower and wanted to say I have enjoyed reading so far. Many great memories being made.
Also how special to get such a great gift, the monorail set from another DISer. Many wonderful people on here. It brought a tear to my eye.
I am jealous of your Friend/Solo trip. How much fun you will have on that.
I can't see when your cruise is? The ticker may be cutting it off? I have done two and so can't wait to get to do another, hoping for one of the new ships.

 

[DWGal210]

Awesome pictures!! I echo Katie - your evening shots are just magical! Love it!!

Henry is too sweet on PP....what a cutie! And his Castle Girl?! OMG I teared up when I read that! Too cute!!

Your pictures took me right there....it makes me think I NEED to be there for NYE. Or maybe a quick October or Novembef trip....sigh...too much Disney, too little time.

 

[rachel09985]

I thought you lived in Minnesota? Did you just move to New York? I am confused!

I love your late night ride pics. They turned out so cool!

 

[Softballgirl27]

Totally!!!!!

 

[Poolrat]

8 pages to catch up on !!!!


Pheeewww All done.

Love the night time shots. I never knew you could plan the camel spitting.

The castle shots too were great!!!

NY in the Spring time. Cherry Blossoms and Dogwoods maybe???

 

[Fantasyland Mom]

I am SO HAPPY there are 12.5 more days to go, no matter how quickly you get them finished! I am thoroughly enjoying this TR!

So cute that Henry made all the CMs fall in love with him. And you're quite a "castle girl" yourself with all those beautiful castle shots!

I am a big fan of Keens. They are such comfy and well-made shoes...and water proof! How are the Croc flip flops? I have a couple different pair of Crocs, but I always shy away from the flip flop style in fear they will give me blisters and rub the top of my foot...

I just wanted to mention, before I forget, that I've worn Croc flip-flops (the Capri style) on both of my Disney trips and found them to be quite comfortable and I'm very picky about my shoes. I cannot tolerate any discomfort whatsoever. The capri style is nice, smooth nylon on the straps that go over your feet, too.

Hi Brook! So many magical moments for your family... its always a pleasure to read one of your reports!

I'm very interested in your upcoming "solo" trip; I'll be making my first one in October!

They are Keens! I got them off Amazon and yes, they are very comfy. I've had Keens before, just a different style. I was a bit wary of purchasing these, since I had no idea what they looked like in person, but I was very happy when they arrived. They are more feminine than I expected with the style of the cutaway.

Thank you! I have a very hard time with sandals. I can't wear them if I am doing any significant walking. I might have to check these out!

Now off to read the update!

 

[PirateKate]

Your pictures are so beautiful! SAB looks like little boy heaven. And Magic Kingdom that night sounds like a lot of fun, aside from the missing stroller. It would be interesting to know exactly how it ended up there. I bet Henry was very charming, waving to the girl in the Castle.

 

[CJsMom]

Hi Brooke! Thank you SO much for putting the links to your posts at the beginning. I've been gone so long I had no idea where I left off! All caught up now - and your solo trip is coming up quick! I can't wait to hear all about it! Love the pics of Henry playing in the sand - and now, of course, I want to stay at Beach or Yacht Club so we can go to SAB...so cool!

 

[Mindy5767]

whoa.. how did we get to page 66!! I am WAY behind. I'd better figure out where I left off... It was way way back!

 

[Flossbolna]

Peter Pan is a very cute ride! I would never wait in a long line for it, but I think it is very much worth it to get a FP for it. I have to do it at least once on every WDW trip, while the other Fantasyland dark rides aren't must dos at all.

The pictures inside the castle are really great. I think on the last trip we did not walk through the castle once, so I need to make sure to do that next time and take time to look around.
