Thanks for your kind thoughts this evening...

I was just thinking of ginger bread today. That hunger will be taken care of in, lets see, about 2 and 1/2 weeks!

All your Christmas pics are so pretty! I hope we can return during the Christmas season some year...

We're so relieved that everything turned out okay. Hope little man gets over his bug quickly. Gotta have everyone feeling good for Christmas!

I'm sure you will do that on more than one occasion in the future. Jill will be putting up FB pictures throughout the trip, so maybe you can enjoy 'being there' in that small way.


**********************************************

When we last left you, we were still wandering our way out of the park.

It was time to go, but not quite. There were still things to see.

Like ducks.

Notice I am even closer to the castle now.

This is not looking good!

Closer.

Maybe I was waiting for Jill, John, and Brooklynn do do one more ride? Apparently so. Jill will remember.

You might have seen a few dozen similar pictures to this one.

Bella loves her Carrousel horses!

I think maybe we met J, J, and B here, and I talked them into one last ride before we really truly left.

All of you Small World haters, step aside. We are in for one last happy voyage.

Time check.

I know the pictures were crummy, so treat yourself to a better version on youtube this morning, and then go around singing the song all day.

Loudly.

Toward Georgia.

Dawn/Punkin will hear the notes wafting through the air and it will just make her day.

Have a good one, everyone!

It would be interesting to let Chelsea and Connor grade you on Parenting 101. Are you up for the results?

No, on second thought, wait until after they are 18. I promise, you will get better grades.

Yeah, I might wait until they are 18.

Connor is entering the "middle school" phase for sure. Chelsea had a doctor's appointment yesterday, so I took the day off but made Connor go to school. He was so mad at me that he STILL wasn't speaking to me when I picked him up in the afternoon.

On the other hand, Chelsea and I are getting along pretty well these days (knock on wood). She texted me the other day when she was with her BFF and said, "I'm so glad we get along" -- her BFF and her mom are constantly fighting, and it really bothers Chelsea the way they talk to each other. We'll see how long that lasts with Chelsea.

Hahaha I still don't think that was your last stop on your way out of the MK! I enjoy it's a small world, I think that was a very nice ride choice!

I am so glad everything turned out okay last night. When you texted me, my heart dropped. I knew how serious it could have been if he was vomiting with a head injury. Glad it was just a stomach virus. It is weird when you respond with "Good!" after you are told someone has a virus, but the alternative was much worse.
Love the pictures this morning. I hope everyone has a good day. The weekend is close.

I am a Small World lover, not a hater! it's corny & all that, but it's a classic.

One of my best trip memories was on IASW. My 3 yr old cousin & I went together, & he hadn't remembered the last time he went on it. We rounded that first corner into the room & he said "Oh wow!" in the sweetest voice. I may have been teary eyed that whole ride.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for thinking of me....I think.

Thanks for the IASW pictures they bring back memories of our dis meet last Feb/Mar. Also I remember riding IASW with my parents right after MK opened.

My Dad turns 80 on the 14th of Dec. so I am blessed to still have both my parents and we are having a Christmas/ Birthday party on the 17th with all the extended family to celebrate.

 

[jenjolt]

Awwww the day parade all Christmasy up is awesome!! You guys are going to have the best time!!!!

Love Bella and her horsies!! She is going to want to ride and ride and ride some more soon!!! Those are going to be great pictures to have when she gets older!!!

 

[Ty's Nonnie]

Whew..... Caught up, I think! The last day, oh no! Isn't it sad? But it does help to know you have another trip coming up soon, huh?

I wish I was gonna be at the NYE meet. But, it's not gonna happen. I will be watching the live feeds though and I'll be looking for everyone. I'm sure it will be easy to spot Trent even though he is so shy!

Hope you have a great day!

 

[marDgreen88]

I'm being completely honest when I say I was thinking to myself that you got some really good Small World pictures... and then you said you thought they were crummy! Well I'm here to tell you that they are not.
I don't blame you for not wanting to leave. I'm considering pitching a tent in Fantasyland.

 

[frazers mum]

MmmSmall world... sometimes i think i like it, other times i think maybe not. I don't think it's a ride that Frazer will go on when we go next May. He will be ten and a half by then, and i doubt it will be a cool ride to go on Look's like i will be taking that voyage by myself!! Thankyou for sharing your lovely Christmas pictures. 6 more day's at work and i break up for the holidays.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Wandering out of the park is the best way to leave I think, MeMom. I'm a Small World fan too. I love the music and ride's scent. Weird I know!

Great pictures! Christmas at Disneyworld is awesome. Glad everyone's plans are shaping up. I am still 95 percent sure I will be there. Memom knows my Dad has been very ill. He is on dialysis and had an amputation around a year ago. His other leg is not doing well and it is a matter of time. He has also been short of breath this last week. I listened to his chest tonight and he either has fluid around his lung or pneumonia. My Mom is taking him to the doctor tomorrow. So, who knows what the next few weeks will bring. I will just keep praying all is okay. The bad part is when your parent gets so sick that you don't want to see him suffer anymore.
Sorry to be a downer. I will just hope everything goes okay and I will be flying to WDW in 26 days!

Hugs to you. Reconciling wanting my dad to have peace was hard when I knew it meant having him leave earth. Sending you and your mom prayers for strength through this tought time.



Memom -
I am so confused. You said you got there early enough for a parade...was the Christmas parade at a time other than 3 pm? I am trying to make sure I see it in...only 8 days till we leave.

Sorry that your house isn't very Christmasy this year... We certainly have the halls decked!

Love the stalling you are doing in order to not leave MK. You always show me cool details I have yet to discover. (Chesire cat)

I am in the LOVE Small World group! it is one of the rides I always have to ride when we go to DL & WDW. My kids roll their eyes, and let me...and try to ignore my singing during the ride. I am pretty easy on our trips and do pretty much what they want, so they "allow" me to get a couple of my favs in!
I think it helps we get the Christmas overlay, as it changes it up and the song doesn't end up getting on your nerves!

Love the pics of Bella on the horsies. We didn't live close to DL when my DD's were that age and now they will ride, but it is not as cute as when the little ones as they ride.

Does anyone remember the link that is used so we can see the fireworks "live" from the beach. I've watched it the last couple of years and I thought I had it bookmarked, but I can't find it.

Also... are you going to put up a FB link on the Dis? I keep forgetting to put in a friend request, and I really want to see the sites in WDW and what fun you are up to!

I lost it too when my computer died this summer. Hopefully someone will put it up in the next 3 weeks. May some nice MeMom will do it

Small World lover here! Mary Blair art work just puts me in a good mood, no wonder I love the new line of Disney clothes! I just wish they made them in my size!
