I LOVE ANASTASIA!!!!!!! i hear ya, mal! if i could play any character at WDW, it would be her. okay.....any character besides maleficent. i can't remember if you're reading my september TR or not, but we ate there and erica and i had on shirts that said, "vanderbilt girl." she looked at them and said, "did vander built you????" she was awesome. we promised her she could be a vanderbilt girl too and we're supposed to be bringing her a shirt when i return in december. good thing i don't have a ressie at 1900 because i don't have a shirt for her. i hope you get one though, for mal's sake!

oh, and i hate PDA. hate it. anything above hand holding and a peck on the cheek is gross in front of anyone else IMO.

Monica,

Keeping my fingers crossed you can get the ADR's at 1900. We went there for breakfast, but never for dinner. It sounds like a blast.

Great update, Mony!

I am amazed that someone thought of casting the step-sisters/mom at a Character dinner. I mean, really! I never really know about it till I read it in trip reports.

And that Mal loved her, LOL!

That picture of the baby is adorable. Poor little thing being so scared!

They are a nice and new addition to character dining. Lately Maddy has a thing for Mickey and Minnie mouse in our house. I hope this means she'll like being around the characters. Not sure though.

Mal's expression where she's standing next to the stepmother is priceless!!!

I think just before that picture was taken I said smile and Mal looked up and saw her expression and was perplexed as to why she wasn't smiling.

Great update. And as for the singing: I've heard worse.

I doubt it, I'm pretty bad. And I admit it. Not like some of those American Idol contestants.

You have a lovely voice Monica!

I hope the honeymooners are also DISers and stumble upon this

I love 1900 Park Fare too! The best part is pretending you're staying there (which I do NOT pull off).

That's kinda hard when you're sprawled out on one of the sofa's there from a sugar incident......just saying.......

This was beyound PDA, that picture was very mild considering what we were exposed to.

If they are disers, oh well, it's all in good fun. I don't think they'd remember that anyways....

We have a lot of opportunities this trip. Which is in 7 days!!!!!!!!

We all think she's the spitting image of Tim's mom. I have 2 that take after him. Zack and Tim's pics at the same age are spooky to look at, if it weren't for black and white, you wouldn't know who you were looking at.

Because of your keen eye, we got 1900! Thanks sooooooooooooo much for pointing that out to me. The kids found out yesterday and were all excited.

I had to give up my Tony's dinner ressie, but I got it for lunch on another day.
Plus I gave it to another diser. Just spreading the pixie dust.

Monica,

Keeping my fingers crossed you can get the ADR's at 1900. We went there for breakfast, but never for dinner. It sounds like a blast.

And we did grandmommie! Thanks for the pixie dust!


Well i suppose I should try to finish this up before we leave next week.
I'll try tonight to write about AK.


Ta Ta For Now!!!!

 

[punkin413]

hey, monica - i forgot to ask you....are you guys planning on seeing the 1st or 2nd spectro on saturday night (12/13)? just wondering! i know we had discussed watching wishes together and i was wondering where you'd plan on being for all that. i think we're gonna see the 2nd spectro.

 

[monymony3471]

That could happen punkin, just depends on the girls if they hold up that long.

 

[aldisneygrl]

Hope you and Dawn are having fun watching Wishes together tonight!

I wasn't able to get on and tell you both goodbye, so I hope you're having a great time!!

 

[winkers]

I'm just popping out of lurkdom to say hi!

 

[longneckthree]

[OhMari]

Ya, what she said.



I finished a few things in my life, so I guess I should add this as well.

It's sooooooooooo hard to remember what we "really" did this last day of our 4 day mini trip. Why?

Because in December we took a whopping 10 day trip and every time I thought about this last day, I would get confused (is that a Nebo Trademark?) and tell myself, no, that happeded during your 10 dayer.

Bummer right?


Anyways, since OMari politely asked me to finish this in her very nice OhMari way, at least I can do is try.

We start today in Animal Kingdom. The other park my boys chose to do.

This day is in no particular order cause my brain is fried from my life.

My boys, DH included, NEEDED to do Mt. Everest. So, they run ahead of me and the girls in the mammouth stroller. Don't worry about me, just toss me everything and I will just blend in the scenery. I passed by a bench and noticed a stinking cute black Tinkerbell purse .

I went to the next bench, parked the beast, set the break and someone had already sat next to the stinking cute black Tinkerbell purse. I watched them inspect it's cutest and wondered just what they were going to do with it. They didn't open it.

I'm sitting soooo close I can hear them discuss where they should take it. They see a CM nearby and head his way. He was of the janitorial variety CM's.

Cool honest people. And the she of the honest couple had the cutest backpack purse thingy, pony tails and safari type hat.

Just then a lady is walking by me looking at the benches. She passed me once, passed me twice. I asked her if she was looking for something.

Cause I was expecting her.

YES!!!!! A stinking cute black Tinkerbell purse that is holding my LIFE!!!! Have you seen it!!!!

Yes, some very nice honest couple with the cutest backpack purse thingy, pony tails and safari type hat took it to the CM sweeping over there.

THANK YOU and she rushes to the CM.

What? No hug?

Oh, the suckers I gave my girls when the boys left us to ride Mt. Everest and them crying cause they are being denied rides in Disney World is now a job and a half for me to clean up in the sweltering sticky florida heat that morning and I'm thinking it was only 10am. I found a water bottle and bathed them the best I could. (Mal "had" hair down to her butt, but since our trip she cut it off and sent it to locks of love) The baby has this thing of playing with her hair however she sees fit. I am gratful that the sucker mess could have been worse. Thankful it was not.

Boys come back from riding with fast passes and we head to the Safari ride.

The line was atrocious. We waitied an eternity. The stickey, sweaty line was a pass out waiting to happen for me. The fans that worked were hit or miss. The kids were cranky. I was cranky. But, it was worth it.

My kids were all chosen to be animal spotters. They were given binoculars and assinged to a particular animal to spot. The announcer remembered all of their names for each animal. It was great!

The ANIMALS! We had such a treat that day. They were so active and some were practically in arms reach that day. When we got off they gave Mal a certificate.

We needed to really cool off after that so I'm pretty sure we headed to Finding Nemo. This we all love.

I believe the boys used their fastpass on Mt. Everest again and he let them hang out in Dino-land for a spell. Cause we love Dino-land. This is when Mal rode Dinosaur with her Daddy twice. Mal-2 Mom-0. I haven't rode this ride yet and my four year old has ridden twice.

We probably ate at the McDonalds.

I believe our last ride was Kali River Rapids as a family.

This is where we baby swapped. I got to go to the exit and wait for them to get off, I passed the baby to Tim and I got right in the fast pass line with my kids and enjoyed a refreshing ride with them.

At one point, I had the baby tightly in my arms as we stood over the bridge waiting for them to return and she was sitting on the railing. I got asked not to do that so I wouldn't drop the baby. Are you kidding me? Me let my baby fall in there. Please. But, he insisited I not hold her like that. Oh well. I listened. Cause I'm nice like that.

At this point the heat has us beat and we decide to head back to the hotel so the kids can swim. And I could pack us all up.

Dining? Don't have a clue what we did.

Oh, I did see the very nice honest couple with the cutest backpack purse thingy, pony tails and safari type hat and told them the purse they turned in was given to it's owner. She was so thankful that I told her. She had a very pleased smile on her face as I walked away.

And so did I.





Thats pretty much it. Coming home was easy cause we knew what was in store for us. The big 10 dayer in December. Which I took absolutely no notes on what so ever. I just have what I have in my crazy little mind.


Thanks for reading. Sorry I left you hanging, and thanks for hanging in there.

 

[aldisneygrl]
