Move over Dumbo our circus is taking over! Surprise trip adventure!!

OKay I am finally all caught up! I have been away from the DIS for weeks!
Yikes.
Man, that is crazy about your thyroid. I have a thyroid that hates me too. Graves disease and have to be on methimazole. I was on a heart medication because of it too but they just took me off of it and hopefully that will be fine. I got really swollen legs on our last day and I didn't even think it might be related to my thyroid.... now that makes me wonder.

Christmas looks like a blast. I laughed out loud at your picture of your friend and then the picture from christmas vacation.

Since I have never been on Tower of Terror it was fun to see the pictures from inside. Looks pretty creepy. :)

I LOVE that picture on RnR. Meg's face is priceless.
and the pictures of all of the kids from the PP are GREAT! Love those!
 
What?! No picture of the alien?? I still haven't seen that thing. I even opened my eyes this last time and kinda sorta looked around, and I still didn't see him. :confused3

Love the basket....how sweet! And I bet it looks great in your kitchen.

I love love love Meg's race on RockinRoller. Too funny!
 
Your photopass pics came out so good!

It's crazy how hot September can be.

Looks like you had a pretty good day.
 
That was so nice of your mom and friend to send that basket and include you and your husband, too. The chocolate hats look like too much of a good thing to me. Did the kids eat them?
 

Awesome updates, Mo. Yes, probably your last picture of the hat (unless you get back there again on this trip you are writing about). As you know, the Studios is my least favorite park, but I love how you love it (and it does have my all time favorite ride -- Tower of Terror).

Great pictures as you walked up to the ride and great ride picture. I'm loving Megan's picture on Rock & Roll.

Such fun photopass pictures.

You got the cowboy. Everyone always complains they never get the cowboy and you got him! :banana::banana::banana:

Wonderful pictures on the Great Movie Ride. I always get starry eyed at the end too; I wonder how they are going to change that ending?

I cried at that and I cried when we went to see Figment when I saw Robin Williams. So heartbreaking still.
 
Loved the basket - how awesome! The kids all look delighted and I love the glasses you got with your wine. :lovestruc

I love DHS too - I love all of the parks really.

All the pictures in front of ToT turned out fantastic - I love them. We had great ones there this year too.

I know - the heat, the HEAT... I'd kill for that heat right now... LOL

Great photos of everything - loved them all!

Looking forward to more updates. :)

We missed you!!!
Really? What are you doing for your thyroid? I heard people taking radiation for graves???
Yep. it took my whole body into a whirlwind!

Christmas looks like a blast. I laughed out loud at your picture of your friend and then the picture from christmas vacation.

One rule for Christmas day is it must be P.J. DAY ALL DAY! He took it to a whole new level! I was dying when he came by. One of our best friends. and a total knucklehead!

Since I have never been on Tower of Terror it was fun to see the pictures from inside. Looks pretty creepy. :)

Never?!?! It's themed so well!!! i need BETTER pictures of this ride.. these are way too over done..

I LOVE that picture on RnR. Meg's face is priceless.
and the pictures of all of the kids from the PP are GREAT! Love those!

isn't it awesome?? Picture CRACKS ME UP! I have a couple of them! Onve i found the PP we took advantage!

What?! No picture of the alien?? I still haven't seen that thing. I even opened my eyes this last time and kinda sorta looked around, and I still didn't see him. :confused3

Nope! I couldn't find it this time around. I KNOW one comes out of the ceiling. and didn't catch it! NEXT TIME!!! as long as they keep that section.

Love the basket....how sweet! And I bet it looks great in your kitchen.

It's really BIG! I should take a picture of it.. It was SO SO sweet of them to send it.

I love love love Meg's race on RockinRoller. Too funny!

Isn't it great? I love that one.

Your photopass pics came out so good!

It's crazy how hot September can be.

Looks like you had a pretty good day.

Thank you! Yes it was HOT. maybe since all the rain they were having it was worse?!?
Yep this was a good day.. Then again any day in Disney is a good day!

That was so nice of your mom and friend to cend that basket and include you and your husband, too. The chocolate hats look like too much of a good thing to me. Did the kids eat them?

I know right??? how sweet! It was so nice of them!!! the hats? yep they ate them as soon as i allowed. i did get a piece.. it was yummy chocolate!

Awesome updates, Mo. Yes, probably your last picture of the hat (unless you get back there again on this trip you are writing about). As you know, the Studios is my least favorite park, but I love how you love it (and it does have my all time favorite ride -- Tower of Terror).

we did go back. so i do have some last ones.. Thanks! I do ADORE HS. everything about it makes me all giddy! ToT is one of THE best rides ever!

Great pictures as you walked up to the ride and great ride picture. I'm loving Megan's picture on Rock & Roll.

isn't it hysterical? i laugh every time i look at some of her ride pictures..

Such fun photopass pictures.

Once we found the PP we took advantage of whatever they wanted to do!

You got the cowboy. Everyone always complains they never get the cowboy and you got him! :banana::banana::banana:

This was our second time with a cowboy. honestly? I don't care either way.. LOL

Wonderful pictures on the Great Movie Ride. I always get starry eyed at the end too; I wonder how they are going to change that ending?

I hope not too much. I adore the ending. I PRAY it isn't chalk full of Frozen.

I cried at that and I cried when we went to see Figment when I saw Robin Williams. So heartbreaking still.

YES!!! I did the same thing. I stopped in front of his picture. People around us didn't understand why... Ignorant people. He was a legend. Still is.

Loved the basket - how awesome! The kids all look delighted and I love the glasses you got with your wine. :lovestruc

Wasn't it the sweetest?!? just loved it! what a giving trip this was!!!
the glasses are ADORABLE! haven't opened up the wine yet! waiting for a awesome celebration!

I love DHS too - I love all of the parks really.

i agree!

All the pictures in front of ToT turned out fantastic - I love them. We had great ones there this year too.

Like i said earlier PP were scarce. So when we DID find them we took FULL advantage of anything they would do!!! the PP people are always a lot of fun!

I know - the heat, the HEAT... I'd kill for that heat right now... LOL

Umm I don't know if i would like ALL that heat.. some of it YES. but it was humid heat. blah.

Great photos of everything - loved them all!

Thank you!

Looking forward to more updates. :)
D~

TODAY! Need to at least get through HS day today...



Quick real life update:
I worked 2 days this year at the mortgage paying job! Between regular scheduled vacation. (much needed) then the weather and the school closings i have been home a LOT! LOL...I do have a very clean house to show for it! YAY ME! Whole family kicked in i do plan on taking my basement back... they don't know that just yet...

Volleyball.. well isn't going as i thought.. I don't know what is going on this year but they are just not into it this year like they were last year. We do have a game in a new league tonight before Dog training. we shall see as they will be playing against 6th graders...

Speaking of... I need to get a few things done for volleyball before i dive into another update!!! be back!

Loved these last few updates Mo!

That basket is to DIE for!!! So sweet of them to send that to the kids, and include a little something for Hubby and yourself! I love those wine glasses!! Need to find out how to get me a pair of those!

Loved the pictures of MGM... oh I mean HS. :rotfl2: (I will never get used to that). I am upset they are taking the hat down. I didn't make it to HS on my last trip and haven't been to HS since 2013 so I don't have any recent/good pictures of it. :sad2:

The picture of Meg on RnRC is hysterical! I love that ride too! When we went for our weekend trip in 2010 Sken was like "I'm not going to like this ride because I don't like Aerosmith..." BOY WAS HE WRONG!! He loved it and we rode it a few more times after that.

The PP pictures are adorable! The boys really love their princess sister and it really shows. Such a cute picture!!

Isn't it! I just loved the whole thing!!could not believe they did that.. :love:

I wonder what they are going to do... that is a lot of empty space now.. or was it for the expansion of pixar?!?!

How fun for him!!!! YES it's a great ride our first was in 2012 since the boys were tall enough. FINALLY meg was tall enough to get on! She was so excited to finally be able to ride!!! WHAAAAAAAA? Aerosmith is a great band!

The PP pictures are adorable! The boys really love their princess sister and it really shows. Such a cute picture!!

I think it was Disney... :lmao:
 
I adore this update!!

The basket was wonderful, what a great way to start your day! Btw, LOVE Meg's outfit, she looks adorable. How nice that mom and dad got a little gift in the basket!! :cheers: Um, chocolate party hats? Yes please!!

We love HS! I am not sad to see that hat go though, never understood it... :confused:

If I took photos like you do I'd take a million of ToT as well! Those are great! Your ride photo is adorable too.

And that picture of your DH and the kids on RNRC is too much! Meg looks terrified, in a way that only a roller coaster can scare ya!

What a great PP session! They're all so great, but the boys attempting to kiss Meg is just adorable. Definitely worthy of a frame.

The GMR is a family favorite. When we were kids we were terrified of it, now it's a nice long ride, where we get to sit in the lovely ac!! 8) And I always cry at the end movie as well, never fails. Most Disney stuff makes me cry!
 
My Dr. wants me to do the iodine radiation but I just haven't decided yet. Everything has been pretty good on the Methimazole so I am kind of afraid of change. :)

It really was a great start! i still am shocked they did all that for us!
Meg is a nut... Chocolate hats... is the best kinda hat!

We love HS! I am not sad to see that hat go though, never understood it... :confused:

OK i have to agree... Sorcerer Mickey and Hollywood Studios? I dont understand the connection.. Yet i did start to like it...

If I took photos like you do I'd take a million of ToT as well! Those are great! Your ride photo is adorable too.

THANK YOU!!! They are really dark and over done..

LOVE RIDE PHOTO'S!

I cannot wait to get it up!

Isn't it the best? just a great comfortable ride!

a friend just did it.. She is doing OK. keep me updated!
 
LOVE the picture from RnRC! Too funny!

And I have booked my dessert party! Thanks for all the pictures of that! I think my gang will LOVE it!
 
So i am going to keep on rolling here!
I left you off when we were done with the Great Movie ride!! Then I spied another PP!
I know you just love pictures of us right?!?!





and of course:


After another fun little photo shoot we were STARVING!
we were headed off to


SCI-FI!

Apparently Zack's driving is very scary!!!

I know it took a LONG while to be seated. and another crappy CM who argued with me in how old my kids are and when their birthday was.. But we wont get into that since we had THE BEST Waiter! He made it all worth the wait!


after looking at the menu:


we all NEEDED this:


Thumbs up:




yum!!!!
This was once filled with Onion rings and fried pickles...


you can kind of see them on my plate???

I had the burger.


it was a burger. nothing special. pretty much everyone ordered a burger.
as always. We had a great time in the cars eating and watching the big screen! we left a very nice tip to the extreme Waiter who was WONDERFUL and made the kids feel like movie stars for their birthday!


Next? DSA of course:


Very Empty park! LOVE LOVE Sept crowds!!

So where to now?
another of our FAVORITE rides!!!


Yep. Star Tours!!! and YES we LOVE this ride. It's just enjoyable fun and sometimes hysterical!



this robot is one heck of a smarty pants!





He was yelling at people.. Possible us as i was taking pictures and not MOVING

No rebel spy, we were on a mission we have been on before the wookie land one. regardless we had a great time... Until

Meg dumped her sun glasses in the bin along with the 3-d glasses....
a CM over heard her, took her by the hand and FOUND the sunglasses!!!! SCORE!!!! I tell you we gave out LOTS of the thank you's i printed out for this trip! and the CM's LOVED them!

No one around so we took our time here:











Meg is not impressed...

They got guns at tatooine gift shop.. We did another Star wars picture which i don't have on here and will have to grab it when im home!

can you guess where we HAD to go next???


..
 
LOVE the picture from RnRC! Too funny!

And I have booked my dessert party! Thanks for all the pictures of that! I think my gang will LOVE it!

Oh good!!! Your going to love it!!! can't wait to hear all about it in 4 MONTHS!!!
 
You KNOW we had to go and visit my all time FAVORITE Childhood TV stars!
Not the moopets. they are bad...

MUPPETS!

you know what that is right???

PIGS IN SPACE










They have the COOLEST stuff



I wanted to move the plank.. Kids wouldn't let me.. thought we would get kicked out!



KERMEYYYYYYYYYYYYY


Wait I'm not done taking pictures of the really cool holding area.. Hold on there Kermit..





OK OK lets' go and watch the SHOW!


Front row?!?! OK!!!








The drums start drumming....

and we have to continue...





.
 
OMG. I love everything about this update. The basket? What an awesome surprise. I love the champagne glasses! So cute1 And the chocolate birthday hats!

Lucy has the same shirt Meg was wearing. I believe it made an appearance when she was dressed as the man-child on my report. :)

I love your TOT pictures that you took and the ride photo is the best! I'm glad Meg liked RnR. That photo is also amazing. And the PP with the kissing? Stop it. Just stop it.

Stitch. We love him. That's my favorite magic shot.

Sorry the host or whoever at sci-fi gave you a hard time. Do they not believe your kids are under 10? Sheesh. I think you would know. Glad the waiter made up for it though.

The pics on the land speeder are great! Hah!

Hope you guys are staying warm and safe. I think you are dealing with the same crap weather we are.
 
that's right it's time:
It's time to play the music It's time to light the lights It's time to meet the muppets on the Muppet Show tonight



we present you..




Wocka Wocka!


BUBBLES


SWEETUMS!


I really wish they did a meet and greet!!!


I got too excited and didn't get a better shot of him

NEXT TIME!







Then POOF it was over...






this is the ONE store i was SO SO SO excited to go to. I NEED a Beeker.. yes Walter NEEDS a beeker for my photography. I couldn't wait to get into the store and get one!









Ya know what they had???





Nothing.






Not a damn thing. Hardly ANYTHING that was Muppet!! No Beeker. No Bunson.. NO awesome character who i can take home and do FUN Photography with! I was pissed. The store is so small. tee shirts. Animal or others which you can buy on line Disney store. Total BUMMER



No. We did NOT buy this.. i had to put my foot down on a tail..


walking out the kids FLIPPED OUT:

Continue:


.
 
It's DUCKY MO MO


oh! wait there is phineas and ferb too!



WHO actually turned out to be a really FUN meet and greet! maybe becuase there wasn't anyone in line??? but we had lots of fun with them playing games and 'talking' with them.







the PP photographer was excellent too!

Then had to say hello:






turned another corner we needed to do something we never have:


Found this!








then he had to have fun too!


HA HA HA!
We needed to get over to something we have never done... So it's a first and a last...





.
 
I finally caught up with all your updates. Meg is a lot braving than me. I'll never ride RNR. It's the only ride I've never been on.
Sci Fi is so much fun to eat at. Your food looks so good. WE like the Muppets, too.
The sugar cookies came out good but they are crispier than peanut butter blossoms.
It's been really cold here, too. the kids had school on Monday and have been off the rest of the week. that means that they've been at the store I work at reeking havok.
Have a good weekend.
Liz
