My Little Princess is Turning 8 trip report. Completed

[mkluvsmickey]

Wonderful pictures of your kids Nichole! It took me a minute to figure out they weren't really at the beach.

So glad Thomas is doing well after his surgery - what a relief for you.

Have a great trip to NJ - wish you could do a TR for that!

Looking forward to hearing all about your October trip though!

Nichole, great pictures of the kiddos! Kaylee's dance recital costumes are precious! Have a fun time in NJ. I hope we can try to meet in Disney in October - that would be terrific!

Wow...gorgeous photos! You truley have a beautiful family.

I'm glad to hear Thomas is doing well.

CSR is supposed to be a beautiful resort! I'm sure you and your family will love it! Any specific section requested?

Thanks Melody,

You have a beautiful family too! We requested Cabana's section but I also like Castita's.

Hi Michelle,
Wish we were at the beach about now. I'm very relieved about Thomas. You really would not want me to write a trippie for NJ since I can already picture me ranting about my FIL, BIL and SIL they are very self centered. but I did plan lots of fun things for the kids too in between visting everyone. How are your plans for october coming along?

Thanks so much Sara. It would be great to meet up. How is the planning going and did you make your ADR's yet? I

Great pics Nichole! And cute matching shorts...I will have to stop by my Old Navy to try to snag two pairs for my kiddos!

And can't wait for your TR after your trip in the Fall. I am on the fence about CSR. Haven't been so I will look forward to hearing your reviews. I am on the fence about trying CSR or going back to my tried and true and much loved CBR.

Hi! So sorry I have been gone, but I have caught up and finished your TR, so sad it's over

Your TR was wonderful!!! I LOVED all your great, fun pictures, Thomas and Kaylee are just so adorable

I know the trip was shorter than usual, but you got to go to WDW, and Kaylee got to spend her birthday there, the most magical, special way to spend one in my opinion To me it seemed much longer than 3 nights ~ you guys did so much and had so much fun!

It's so exciting you are going back in October and get to go to MNSSHP. I don't recall, have you been to MNSSHP before? It's our FAVORITE thing to do at WDW!!!

I can't wait to go back! We are all dressing up too, it's really fun that way. We are all going to be zombie pirates, like the HM ghosts but with pirate outfits!

Thanks again for sharing another wonderful trip report. As always I really enjoyed it and it took me back to the World again

I will be thinking of you all, and hope you all are doing well and stay well. Have a fun summer and I will keep my eye out for your next PTR!!!

I'm a bit on the fence about CSR too. I keep thinking WL but still really love Poly the best. Poly is just not in the budget this year. My other choice would be beach club since that is where my friends (villas) are staying. As of now I'm sticking with CSR for the moment. The pics of CBR look great too . Hope you are able to find some shorts at Old Navy.

Hi Earthfairies
Thanks for reading . Yes we had a really time though it was too short. kaylee had a wonderful Birthday.

We can't wait for October and MNSSHP. Yes we have been before, last year actually. I might even dress up this year with the kids. I have no idea what everyone is being yet for sure. I might want to be Tink if I dress up.
Glad to see you are going back too, September right? Your costumes sound really good too. Have a great summer!

Wow! What a great trip report, Both of them! Last night I read both of your trip reports (in between dinner and walking my dogs and conversing with my hub) and enjoyed them sooo much . We are going to be staying at the Poly in Sept. for the first time and you really have me excited with all the wonderful photos. My brother directed me to this forum yesterday as he is a Disney fanatic and and goes every year. I spent all day yesterday reading and getting familar with the forum layout...so fun!!!I live in NJ and I hope you have great trip back here. Once a Jersey Girl always a Jersey Girl. Your photos were outstanding (you have a lovely family BTW) and now Iam so excited to go stay at the Poly. I hope the housekeeping is OK, however, that seems to be the only big issue with the place...

Hey fellow Jersey Girl,
Thanks so much for reading and I'm glad you liked my trippies and our pics. to the DIS!! This board is such a wealth of information. I'm sure you will love the Poly. Even though we had some issues on our last stay there I would still stay there again. Housekeeping seems to be hit & miss at lots of the resorts unfortunately. Thanks for wishing us a great trip back home and the kind words about our family . If you need any advice on the Poly or Disney please feel free to PM me anytime. I'm sure your brother is very helpful though too.

Hi,
I just stumbled upon your TR tonight and finished it in one sitting! It was great!! Congrats on all the magical moments and the dream FP's!! I actually found the TR by doing a search for riding barnstormer with Goofy....I'm hoping for that magical moment when we go in September! I had to laugh at some of your TR, your husband sounds just like mine!!! Your kids are adorable and I was so glad to read that everything worked out with Thomas. I know you had to be scared. So happy everything is fine. I loved the pics at the end of your report. Did you have them taken at a Portrait Innovations? It kind of looks like a background I saw in an email from them. After seeing your pics, I may have to take the kids there!

Glad to hear you liked Pop, we are staying there when we go in September. Did you have a preferred room or standard? Wasn't sure if I could request 50's building with a standard room.

Sounds like you got a lot in with just 3 days! Now I am going to have to go back and read your other TR! After reading some of the great reports I've seen lately I think I may try to tackle my own this trip..... I hope I have some magical moments and dreams to post in mine!

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

OMG I took a quick look at your TR's and just after a couple of pages it was like seeing ourselves! We have many of the same outfits from DS and our trips looks similar just from the glance. I can't wait to read more tomorrow!

Hi and thanks for reading! Thanks for all the kind words about my kids . We had a great trip even though it was short for us. We do prefer staying at ;east a week but since it was kind of a bonus Birthday trip we had to keep it short. Kaylee really had a wonderful time and still talks about it alot.

I'm very relieved about Thomas's surgery and outcome. It was very scary for me. It defintely made me realize I need to make the most of each day with my kids. They grow up so fast. Your right, the pics of the kids are from Potrait Innoventions. They did a great job with shy Thomas too.

We stayed preferred at Pop and the walk was really short. We stayed in the 50's but I also think 70's and 60's look good and are not too far out. I feel better booking preferred because I don't want to get stuck in the 90's section. Please write a trip report when you get back. You can PM me the link if you want. Hope you get lots of Pixie dut on your trip!

Too funny, I just started reading your pretrip/ History trip and it's great!!! Love the outfits you have your kids dressed in too. Looking forward to hearing about your trip when you get back. I wanted to know how you liked you CSR? I noticed the playground in your pics.

Something made me think of you and Thomas today, and I was wondering how he is doing? (and you too )

Hi Mo ,
Thomas is doing great! I'm doing much better too. Thanks for asking. He has his post OP check up next Tuesday. I'm so relieved that it was just a Dermoid cyst causing his neck lump and thankfully nothing Malignant. We have been just enjoying the summer. NJ was kind of a disaster because we spent the whole time visting family and not much else.

Anyway I have read some of your Wieniefest pretrip for August. You are all going to have so much fun! Your trip is so close now . DO you think your going to write your own trippie?

Hi Nichole!

Just stopping by to say hello also. Sounds like you've had a busy summer. So glad to hear that Thomas is doing well.

Hi Michelle,
How are you? Did you have fun in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge at your reunion? We went there to play mini golf one day about 2 1/2 weeks ago. It was probably around the same time you were there. Just got off the phone with Disney was trying to get my standard room back at WL but now all they have left is courtyard bunkbed and concierge. Shame on me for switching. I'm scared of CSR because I have read a couple dirty room reports on tripadvisor. You didn't have any issues like that last year when you stayed there, did you??? Thanks for stopping in.

omg! We were there from 6/26-6/30 so maybe the same time as you - too funny! We had fun at Dollywood (though its not Disney). Also did the Dixie Stampede and went whitewater rafting. It was a short but good trip.

As far as CSR - we didn't have any problems at all with our room. Here's some pixie dust that you get the same. Keep trying back for WL though if that is what you really want - ya never know!
