I love how you're doing these spotlights. You really get a look at their personalities! Jack would go nuts if he got to force push the Stormtroopers! I really hope he gets in (though now that I'm going on the tour, I'll probably have to see it on video...). Wendy looks like she's really starting to grow up. I'm not really looking forward to those tween years. Haley has been fairly oblivious to a lot of that stuff until recently...I know it's coming!

We're so close!!! I've been trying to check-in on line today, but it's giving us fits. I hope we can get it done...it sounds so much simpler!

Love your spotlight on Wendy!! Those pictures with Minnie are so cute....ahh...how can you not love Minnie!

She must be so excited for her Disney cruise!! Almost there.....

She is so excited for her Disney cruise, and I'm a wee bit jealous.

Beautiful!! You have the cutest kids!!

Good luck on your recital, Wendy My DD had hers two weeks ago and it went great! I am so interested in finding out when her Minnie Mouse house tour happened!! HOW AMAZING

The Minnie Mouse house tour was back in January 2008. We were at the Toontown rope drop and were heading to the Princesses when Minnie walked out of her house and right up to Wendy. She reached out her hand, Wendy took it and Minnie then took her through her house. The Photopass photog followed them through the tour. It was a magical moment.

Wendy seems awesome!

Amanda

She is definitely a keeper!

Wendy sounds like such a sweetie! Has she ever cruised? She will love the Disney cruise!

This will be her first cruise. I'm sure she will love every minute of it!

One of DH's coworkers just got back from SWW. She said they handed out passes for all of the Jedi Training shows first thing in the morning. They had times on them for the shows later in the day. That is all the information he had, but it's probably a good idea to head over to Jedi Training right at rope drop if you want to make sure he gets it. How exciting that it's time for on-line check in! I still have 4 days left until I can do it!

What a pretty dance dress! I have never been to the Plaza but your endorsement makes me want to try it someday.

 

[Charlefours]

Your daughter is beautiful. Glad to know you like Plaza--it is one of the places I am most looking forward to trying on my family's upcoming trip.

 

[cdotla]

What a cute segment on Wendy!

Love your comment about Wendy and your DH being the 2 grown-ups in the household!

I love the Plaza too. How can any girl not? It is so pretty in there! Or at least it was until the recent renos. I am sure it is back to normal now, but I will have some terrible photos to show you in my TR from when we were there last month. It is probably looking brand spankin' new now for your arrival!

4 more days til online check in??? Yikes, that went fast! Not much longer now!

 

[Happy Elf]

Wendy looks adorable and so grown up in her dance outfit!
Hannah had her recital a few weeks ago.

Thank you. Wendy did have one of the prettiest costumes in the entire recital this year. And the Plaza is definitely worth a try. We'll be back this trip.

It is nothing fancy, but it is in a great location and has a great view!

I didn't know the Plaza was getting a refurb. I guess I'll report on the status when we get back. The trip really is coming up fast. And everything is so busy with end of school activities that it seems to be coming even faster (which is a very good thing).

Wendy looks adorable and so grown up in her dance outfit!
Hannah had her recital a few weeks ago.

Don't you love recital days? I look foward to it the whole year.

So in honor of single digits I'm going to do some Top 10 Countdowns. How many of these I do is entirely dependent on how much time I have before the trip. So here is my first top 10. (Drumroll, please)

Mrs. Darling Top 10 Disney Moments
These are in chronological order. I tried, but I can't truly choose favorites. It was hard enough to only choose 10 moments I know I posted many of these pictures earlier, but maybe you've forgotten.

1. Cinderella kneeling down to greet my then 2 year old John and watching him run into her arms for a huge hug. John currently hates when I mention this moment

2. John at 4 years old meeting his hero, Buzz Lightyear.

3. Experiencing the Osbourne Lights with the music playing and the snow falling.

4. Walking down a darkened almost deserted Main Street with then 5 year old John during the Pirate & Princess Party. Music was playing, light figures of skulls & crossbones on the building and my precious little boy holding my hand

5. Minnie giving Wendy (then 7 years old) her own private tour of her house at Toontown rope drop.

6. Jumping the trolley tracks on an almost deserted Main Street with then 3 year old Michael before an early breakfast at Crystal Palace.

7. Sitting in a chair on the beach at Beach Club during Movies on the Beach. I dug my toes into the softest sand in the world and watched the Illuminations fireworks

8. Watching then 4 year old Michael hug an ewok. As he put it, "Mom that was the best day of my whole life."

9. Sitting in Stormalong Bay shallow section watching the kids build sandcastles and talking to my DH about our future Disney plans

10. Running that last mile of the Half Marathon through Epcot. I was wet and freezing, but I couldn't quit smiling.

So there you have it! I wonder what new top 10 memories I'll have from this next trip. The anticipation is killing me

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Aww, such lovely top 10 memories! Thanks for sharing them with us!

 

[DrMomof3]

Awesome top 10!!!
