Mingos in the Watah! What in the Wuhld?

[MeMom]

Aren't you glad this guy

did what he did?

If he had been satisfied to sit on the bench watching his daughters spin in circles on the merry-go-round, we would not even know each other today. But, he wanted to play with them, and because he did, we are here reading this and sharing each others' lives. Pretty good case for saying that what we do can really have a big effect on others, huh?

Music on the square and in the air.

World of Disney was too crowded to stay very long.

I should have gotten one of the headband ears for Hat Day at school. I don't do hats, but I might be able to pull off a headband hat.

We stayed long enough for Jill to get the girls some gift cards.

Some new kitchen stuff.

Didn't get to go in here.

New statues at the Lego Store.

We left to go back to the room so that the girls could swim.

One last shot.

Out at the pool at our hotel.

We went to bed early that night, as sleep was much needed. It had been a long day, and we were checking into Pop at about 6 a.m. the next morning.

I love your Nemo bulletin board idea...if only I didn't teach 11th graders...well, I could get away with it in Jan. or so. After they get to know me and realize how difficult the course is. If I started with Nemo, they might think the course was going to be a breeze...

Great tour of DTD. Sorry you didn't go in Basin. I go in and spend 30 minutes aimlessly walking around and leave without anything. I really need to decide what I want before I go!

The new legos looks awesome. Is the tourise family still there too, or did they take it away?

 

[DWGal210]

Oh I could spend days just at DTD. . Love it!

We had Earl this trip as well. Yummmmmoooooo! I get the one with basil, mozzarella, tomato & balsamic. I'm salivating just writing that!

 

[Native NYer]

Joining in for this one! I hope I can keep up this time. Since it's summer vacation, I have lots more time.

The girls are so cute!
Love the Lego sculptures and the fountain.

 

[DisneyFanLauren]

That video of Bella was just too cute Great start to the trip! Earl looks delish as always!!! What's your favorite one to get? Loved your bulletin board idea! You are so creative~! I think I would like to be an adoptive child of yours! If you'll have more that is! Looking forward to reading about your first day!!!!

 

[frazers mum]

Lovely photo's. DTD is a good place to spend some relaxing Disney time. What is it with kids and walls!! Frazer, who is going on 10 still can't walk past a wall without climbing on it. Great pictures of Walt. Thank goodness he did what he did .

 

[tinkgurl]

Oh boo the rain clouds!! I hope they went away!

That fountain/waterfall thing you took a picture of is so neat! I love how it's all flower pots.

Earl is so good! A definitely must-do at DTD!

I just love that picture you posted of Walt. His smile is contagious. And I think so many people forget where it all began.

The Toy Story and Snow White lego displays are amazing!! I hope they're still there when we go next year.

My DD4 loves these! Right now we just have Simba and Bambi, but I have a feeling our collection will grow. When we were there last March we went on a search for Bambi. DH and I made the mistake of not letting her buy it immediately, telling her to wait and see if there was anything else she wanted during the trip. Well, it came down to our last afternoon and she decided that's what she wanted and then baby Bambi was nowhere to be found in MK. We ended up taking the monorail to the Contemporary and found Bambi there.

Those legos statues are amazing!!! So awesome. I can't wait to see them.
Love Earl! Sandwiches look good as usual. We go every trip.
Can't wait for more.
Anyone going to Winnie the Pooh today? We have tickets for 2 pm!!

 

[PlutosRHM55]

Wow! You really do everything in DTD. Some of those stores I've missed and have seen for the first time. Earl of Sandwich looks so good as always. I think I've mentally taken a note of that place (MUST DO!) The Lego sculptures are so cool. I hope the Maleficent dragon and Prince Phillip one is still there so I may take a picture next to it. One of my favorite scenes from any Disney movie That fountain is so cool. I don't think I've seen anything so complex-

Well maybe, but still it's cool. And the baby plush disney characters are just adorable. I must find that muffin mold. Mickey muffins -

And the stage in DTD brings back so many memories. I got to perform on it in February with my school chorus, very fun. I was glad to see you stopped to watch, most ignore this stage () -

Can't wait to read more!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Is that flower pot fountain new? How pretty!!

I love that photo of Walt. I'm so grateful for all he created.

 

[daisylove]

That video is adorable. She says it so clear too. :0)

 

[dekkerdisneydreamer]

Skimming through the old TR I found the new link. I'm only 12 pages behind! Dear Lord, ladies! You've managed to accumulate 12 pages of TR and loyal readers! I love it!

Checking into POP at 6:00 a.m.!! I honestly don't even get up at Disney at 6:00 a.m. Like Brookelizabeth aka Brook, I'm not a rope drop person. I hope that check in went smoothly for all of you.

Way to go on the intro Jill! I love the pictures of Brook and Bella, and the fact that you recognize the stars of the TR!

 

[MagicShell]

Those Lego statues are incredible. Downtown Disney is such a fun place. I never spend as much time there as I'd like to.

 

[disneylovin24]

Love all the merchandise pictures!


Little Miss Matched....new store?

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

I have never seen the low walls in DTD without little kids walking on them! I guess they are really tempting!

Is that Fun Finds store new? I don't remember seeing it before! It looks really cute! I love wandering around DTD

 

[wigdoutdismom]

We all enjoyed the mingo video last night while eating at a frozen yogurt bar. Jen was with us too...
That Bella is so darn cute and we I loved listening to her talk!
Both girls are just show stoppers!

I would so love to make one of those flower pot fountains here at home but we just aren't here enough to get that project completed.

Big news here, Hunter just cut his first tooth. He's just a bit grumpy...

 

[micandminforever]

The new Lego structures are adorable. It is great that they are Disney themed. I especially like the Snow White pictures.

I wish I was eating at Earl of Sandwich now.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

wow, I got some catchin' up to do, eh?

Going back to bookmark and read!
Okay, all caught up!
Those girls are just so adorable. I told my DDs to read about how many trips they've taken and how old they are. They said, "that's like 3 or 4 trips a YEAR!!!" They thought they had gone a lot (7 times). HA!

LOVE Bella's cute voice on that video! It keeps running through my head - "what in the whuld?"

I think I have a picture of the flower pot fountain too. I wish they'd come install it on my patio!

We always stop at the Florida welcome sign for a picture on our drives down too. That juice tastes so good - just b/c it means I'm finally in FL!

Wigd - poor Hunter. And poor Hunter's family!

MeMom - I love your school Nemo theme ideas!!! My DD just finished 2nd grade. I loved her teacher, but if she could have you or Wigd, that would be the end-all beat-all!!!

Okay - I'm now caught up and will be vigilant about staying on top of this. Carry on.

Poor Hunter

Hey Wigd & gang: I think we need to do a Saint Louis meet for this fall. Any takers??
