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

[dekkerdisneydreamer]

Mingos we out that morning.
God bless little Bella!

Oh, what do we have here?

Coffee Shop.
Good stuff! I remember stopping there in April and we did just about the same thing, coffee, pastries and the Dawa Bar! I like that start to a morning!


It's all about compromise -- marriage, remember? That, and we still had 10 more days in front of us...plenty of time! (And yes, you have signed on for the trip report that never ends.)


Somehow, though, I think we truly like the TR's that don't end.


I apologize for the short update - I am taking Henry to the zoo today and need to get movin'! I hope to update more later!

Have a great time at the zoo! Hopefully it won't be too terribly hot for you!

Thanks for the quick update.

I'm looking forward to trying AK again this trip. We've only been once and I was pregnant and sick had a baby on my hip and it was crowded and it was HOTTTT and and and....! Even in Oct. it was so darn hot, so we did not stay long and have never wanted to go back since. We haven't since that 2007 trip. We also did not have park hoppers that trip and it was our last day and we just had to go back t othe resort so I just have bitter memories of it I'm giving it one more chance with an open mind this year, our last day...again...without hoppers...again... Smart girl this one!

OK...I say this to myself every time but this trip I would like to spend more time exploring AK. I have never evn seen some of the views you captured! I am all for a lazy morning! . And how delicious to still have 10 days of vacation stretching out in front of you!

Have fun at the zoo!!!

 

[KatMark]

First, have great fun at the zoo today!

And what a perfect place to go after you started your update with a trip to the Animal Kingdom.

You are a better woman than me...all that sitting would drive me crazy.

Breakfast looks yummy.

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

I agree with the others. It is really hard to sit in the mornings and take it slow. I know what you mean about the compromise though. I'm working on that too but it is so hard to fight that urge to go, go, go! I might need some Paxil to accomplish my goal. I'm not certain I have the power to do it on my own!

We took a slower approach on our trip in January too but I don't know if I could be that relaxed/slow! I think the more trips we take the more I know that we will be back and don't have to fit everything in on every trip. Cute photos! Enjoy the zoo!

On the Angry Birds. I often lose my phone to that especially when Jack's ipod needs to be charged

I'm using you as my inspiration for the go with the flow trip so you better not disappoint me along the way.

I do like the idea of breakfast in the park. Im a people watcher so I could hang for a little while

Speaking of Mickey Mail, I was wondering if you could send a card for me in Aug? My neighbors are going the week before us and I know her kids would love it. I'll email you later. Need to anyway cause I just changed one of my ADR's Must stop thinking about it

 

[CreightonsMomma]

Ohhhh, so the reason i'm not married is because I don't compromise unless it is benefiting me? Just kidding....it's not the only reason i'm not married.

Cute little update. I love looking at all your pictures. I see things that I have never seen before.


Have a good day at the zoo!

Hi, I just picked up you TR from Jen's & your PTR for the Disney ED program. I just started reading this morning (love rainy days, where it's great to let the DD watch tv) so I'm not in to the trip yet, but I just want to say you have the cutest little boy!
I love how excited he got the morning you told him he was going to see Mickey today! I'm suprising our DD (age7) in Sept, and I hope she has that much excitment!

Well, I'm off to read more, I need to learn how to not go go go at Disney as well. I'm a planner type as well, so I'll have to see how this goes for you!

MMM I want that apple turn over

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Hey BE!

Great update!

Gotta love those moments of slowing down and soaking up the atmosphere.

 

[DisneyBoundinDec]

add me to the list of taking it slow.... don't know HOW you did it!! BUT, I guess if I knew I had 10 days ahead of me, I probably could too.. that must be a great feeling.. I think the longest we've gone is 8..

Have fun at the zoo!!

 

[tiggrbaby]

Maybe if I went for a long time I would act differently, but I have always attacked the parks commando style!

 

[PirateKate]

I think starting the morning slowly sounds very nice. Sitting in AK with a too sweet coffee and pasties and taking it easy...what could be better than that? We might do that on our next trip.

Oh, and I love the pictures of Cowboy Henry! The black and white one is adorable.

 

[petals]

It's amazing how he describes things to us - he's getting so clear (growing up!!!), when he mentioned "kicking class" Joe and I knew just what he was talking about! The other day he couldn't think of the name of Soarin', so he said "You sit, put on your seatbelt, and whoooooooosh!"

I love it. My favourite is still Mickey's house!

Luvin the update as well.. I cannot wait to try the bakery in Animal Kingdom.. I want Zebra domes never had them before but that apple turnover looks yummy as well.. I'm thinking momma and i will have to pick two desserts to "share"

Also a never ending trip report... I'm ok with that

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

Brook, AK is the best place to stop and have breakfast and just watch people go by. We usually go the the Anandapur Tea Co., get a cinnamon but and an iced latte. There's just a few tables and chairs there but it's right on the main path across from the monkeys and they are LOUD early in the morning! You know me, I'm like you with the "let's GO" attitude but there's nothing better than sitting there enjoying breakfast, listening to the monkeys screaming and watching the hustle and bustle of everyone walking by to get to Everest.

 

[Flossbolna]

Brook, I am not sure that I will ever be able to get up to date with comments. I am still reading along... So I will just jump in with comments to the last update!

I am with LL - you are a very loving wife that you just sat there and watched the world go by first thing in the morning! But your breakfast looks very nice... Maybe an option for Katharina and me AFTER a ride on the safari.

 

[brookelizabeth]

I just gotta pop in here real quick and say...


16 DAYS!

 

[eandesmom]

A couple monkeys! (Must have been a chilly morning. And notice my hoodie with random Mickey stickers all over it? Surely the doing of a toddler)

As you can see, we sat in the Dawa Bar area and just watched the morning go by as we enjoyed our treats. I remember this stop being MY idea, knowing Joe would be thrilled -- and he was! I also remember that toward the end of sitting there I was so very ready to move on. All I could keep think about was how much we weren't doing. I kept this to myself though, and kept on the "go with the flow" attitude for Joe.

It's all about compromise -- marriage, remember? That, and we still had 10 more days in front of us...plenty of time! (And yes, you have signed on for the trip report that never ends.)

As one who is still writing one that never ends, I can relate! Though I'm hoping to finish it before we hit the 1 year mark...which means I've only got 3 weeks!

Your hoodie cracks me up. Oh I've had many a mickey sticker on clothes over the years. One day, you will miss them. As long as you remembered to take them off before washing the item.

The things we do for love.

Yay for mingos! In the watah!!!

I got a white chocolate elephant cupcake at Kusafiri just a few weeks ago. So good, but so big! Brooklynn took over the elephant part.

I love seeing pictures of Animal Kingdom - a tree, a rock, a bird, a sweet treat...I like it all!
