"Mom, Dad, 3 Kids & a Gingerbread Boy" Matty's Wish Trip December 10-18, 2009

Now that I am all caught up you can feel free to finish this thing! ;) You're going to have a new TR and a PTR to write! Love the latest updates - the Cessna, the parks and the smiles! We are not doing a December trip but are doing a combo trip in a few weeks (check out my ticker).

Can't wait to hear about MVMCP from your perspective!



Oh you ARE good......................even went all the way back to where you left off:rotfl2:

I'm really 'stuck' with reporting on this evening. You'd think I'd just jump right into it wouldn't you?? IDK, guess I'm having 'writers' cramp' here. I'm hoping to inch my way through at least another hour or two of the evening before I leave on Thursday.

Of course....................time will tell :rotfl: (thank goodness Melissa AKA yinyanggirls is still on her trip or she'd be flogging me but good)
 
Part II: "A Gingerbread Boy's Wish Come True"







ok................so where were we?

It's been sooooo long I forget :lmao:

Ah yes...............about to turn back the clock. Well, with regard to my 'little girl' that is............................as she has decided a meet and greet with each of the fairies and princesses is a 'must-do'! Who woulda thunk????

All I can say is :yay:




First up some Fairies:

Warms this old momma's heart I tell ya :love:
(and for all you moms of 'little' girls out there giggling at my sentimentality............... just you wait................you'll see :rolleyes1)






Quick time check reveals it to be about 6:30 and we are supposed to meet up with Maroo at about 7:00. We know it's going to take alittle time to make our way over to our meeting spot in front of Casey's but figure we have just enough time to squeeze in alittle more fun. A quick ride on the Barnstormer roller coaster is just right for the littlest of my two chickens and makes my Matty VERY happy as he's been used to being turned away from all things up, down and speedy due to his height. Well, ok, it's not quite as up, down and speedy as he'd like but it's gonna have to do. After that.......................a few minutes running around the play area over by Donald's boat..................that'd be my Brennan's suggestion. And lastly..........................a quick detour to Space Mountain for Olivia, Nicholas and I.

It's a good thing dh isn't much for the up, down, and speedy...............gives me the opportunity to have ALL the fun:woohoo:





Time check #2 reveals that in fact we've timed it pretty well................it appears that we will indeed make our prearranged meeting time..........................if we hustle :rotfl: And we do.

We hustle.

And we make it on time :thumbsup2

As we approach Casey's I recognize Maroo immediately from her photos here on the Disboards. Oh, didn't I tell you we were meeting Maroo? In fact, although I haven't been providing the details here on this TR, there have been many many (many) phone calls between Maroo and I in the previous few days. Much much planning.

Much much anticipation.



Hey, is it possible that there is anyone reading this that doesn't yet know what's in store here?

Hmmmmmmmmm.

Maybe there is.




So I'll not reveal too too much.

I'll just let the story unfold.

Just......................in case :)




After a few minutes of hugs and hellos we make our way to the front of the park to find ourselves our 'spot'. Well, let's call it 'the' spot. Apparently Maroo has been instructed to have us sit in 'the' spot. So we find it. Right on the corner. In front of Town Hall.

We sit. It's about 7:20. 'It' doesn't start until 8:30. It's going to be a long wait :rotfl:

The kids and dh go off to score some hot dogs.

Then it's time for a bathroom break. Or two (funny how they don't realize that they have to go TOO until their sibling comes BACK:laughing:).





to be cont'd........................
 
Dogs downed (that'd be the hot dogs) the kids and dh leave Maroo and I to warm the curb while they head off to explore.




Hey..................this looks like a fun place:

some silly fun allows for a couple of photo opportunities:

and then the boredom really sets in:

:sad2:











Finally Matty's ready to 'get dressed' :goodvibes

Dh accompanies him back to the restroom where he puts on his supersuit.

He comes back looking good enough to eat!

And is OH SO excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!














"I'm ready!":

Next up: ":yay: :banana: :cool1: :woohoo: :dance3: :yay:"
 
I WANT MORREEE!! Aww what a great pic with Maroo!! Mattie looks so cute in his Gingerbread outfit. Oh yes tuck those princess and fairy pics into a very special place. :cloud9:
 

He is so cute! :goodvibes

So funny that you were rushing and worried you would not make it to meeting up with me - we were having issues with my crew, too! :rotfl:

I was so surprised that the parade had so few people there! From reading the DIS you would think it would have been a mob scene, being the first parade and all!

Wasn't it just two people deep even as the parade was starting? Or was that another night? I can't remember! :faint:

Great update!
 
Yeah new updates! I love that your daughter wanted to meet the fairies and princesses. Bre wanted to meet Rosetta the most and she was the one fairy that we never did find! I can't wait to hear your account of the parade! :santa:
 
Great update! I love that your daughter wanted to meet the princesses and fairies. And Oh that Matty in his costume is adorable! I will always think of him everytime I see a gingerbread man. :goodvibes
Now slow down we cant have you finish before me. :rotfl:

Given that Sierra is 12/13 I'm quite sure YOU know what I mean!

He is so cute! :goodvibes

I think when it started the crowd did seem really light but it definately beefed up over that hour plus wait. But I wonder if it was more a function of our location. Walking through the park to 'get' to our spot it certainly seemed quite crowded!

Yeah new updates! I love that your daughter wanted to meet the fairies and princesses. Bre wanted to meet Rosetta the most and she was the one fairy that we never did find! I can't wait to hear your account of the parade! :santa:

I don't know one fairy from another (well, obviously I know Tink LOL). Was Rosetta in one of the px up above? I can't believe I've actually made it to the parade portion of this trip and now it's all rather fuzzy:rotfl2: The px will have to tell the story I guess.

But.................your gonna have to wait.

Again:lmao:

Yes, those Gingerbread Men have taken on a whole new meaning:love:

And don't worry about me finishing up soon. We're actually leaving for our 'Poop' trip tonight so there will be yet another lull in the action here - so close and yet so far huh? :rotfl:

I bet if you hurry up you can beat me!!!!!!



.
 
All caught up and cant wait to read the finale !!
The joy of joys you will be strting a new poop tr !! So guess ill just have to stalk you some more over onthe new trippie.

Hope you are having fun,
Louise x
 
You CAN'T leave us hanging like that!:rotfl2: I love the pixie/princess pictures - weren't they fabulous?! I hope that you're having a great time down there!
 
Well, I'll give you partial credit for at least starting on the big night. :lmao: I took over 2,000 photos, DH took about 400 on his point and shoot and I haven't even looked at the Photopass yet so..... I am actively preparing for a phenomenal TR that will be started any day now....:rolleyes1
 
I just love this TR, seems like you all had a really funtastic time with the cute little Gingerbread boy. I read all 33 pages and can't wait for you to continue! The IOA and US part was great. I think a lot of people underestimate this parks. I just love them! Try to find the Seuss books in German (that's were we live and the kids don't speak Englisch other than Kiara counting from 1 to 10, the ABC, the colors and a few other things) but they are out of print. I want them to know the caracters in Seuss Landing before we go.

Hi Louise! Thanx for taking the time to catch up :) Hopefully this TR will be finished up within the month.................although I've said that before :laughing: Stalk away!!

You CAN'T leave us hanging like that!:rotfl2: I love the pixie/princess pictures - weren't they fabulous?! I hope that you're having a great time down there!

Sorry! I had to make some progress but didn't have time to do the whole night. Seemed like the perfect place for a rest stop (well, to me anyway:)) We did have such a great time this past week..............hard to get back to the real world isn't it? I've gotta catch up with your TR soon too! So much to do, so little time :laughing:

I hope you are having a great trip!!!

I know....that was mean of me wasn't it :rotfl: Seemed like the PERFECT place to stop! I will finish this...............really I will. Just give me some time to get back into the swing of things here. My house is a DISASTER after leaving dh and the boys home for five days!

Well, I'll give you partial credit for at least starting on the big night. :lmao: I took over 2,000 photos, DH took about 400 on his point and shoot and I haven't even looked at the Photopass yet so..... I am actively preparing for a phenomenal TR that will be started any day now....:rolleyes1

See...............I'm getting there! Taking it hour by hour now. 2500+ photos huh? YIKES!! I thought our 1500 was bad! I'm sure you've captured some wonderful memories. Can't wait to read your TR (and count the days from start to finish :rotfl:)

Oh my goodness! You read the whole 30+ pages in one sitting????? Thanx so much for taking interest and jumping on board:) I do agree that US/IOA just doesn't receive enough 'love' here on these boards................I am one of their biggest fans! I just adore Suess! Too bad you can't find the books in German............I would think they'd be available somewhere secondhand. Don't give up looking! Of course you could always buy an English version so they could see the characters. Could you translate? IDK...perhaps that's alot easier said than done huh? Silly me:laughing:
 
Nope...........nothin'.

Just another big tease:lmao:




I got a rude awakening however when yesterday I logged on for the first time in a while and found my precious Gingerbread Boy in the.............


"completed TR section"!!!!!


Do you think that even the moderator is trying to tell me something???

:laughing:

ok so I'm not making any promises as to the timing anymore but it WILL be finished.

And I'll be sure to return periodically to reiterate that point so as to make sure we don't end up back in the archives again!j

Hope you are all well (and feverishly working to complete your own TR's):)
