joining in! love the photos. and just had to comment that I was laughing out loud when you said "that's not Buzz Lightyear, it's just a guy in a Buzz Lightyear shirt."

Subbing!! Love your pictures and I adore how you write about your wife Beautiful Family!!

Welcome aboard! Glad you could make it! You're too sweet. My wife isn't even reading my trip report As far as I know, nobody in the family is except Sean. After I wrote about his backwards picture I sent him a facebook link because he's usually bored at work. I don't want to talk about people behind their back

Absolutely love your pics! ToT is my all time fav ride in HS - it took one ride and I was hooked! I agree with you though that it can be scary - my DS24 kept making excuses on his first trip as to why he shouldn't ride it. I kept assuring him that it wouldn't be that bad but I have to say - that was the scariest ride of all of the times I've been on it We had more looonnng drops than ever before and more drops than ever before - I thought I was going to die laughing when we got off the ride and I saw his pic Poor guy - don't think we'll ever get him back on.

Isn't Fantasmic sensational?!! I have only seen it once when I was solo for four days before my DD and DGS arrived back in 2008. I wanted so bad for them to see it (I had gone on several rides and attractions trying new things out so I could recommend what would be most fun for their short stay). Unfortunately she didn't want to battle the crowds and he was only 14 mos old then. I loved all of your family pics from Fantasmic - especially Danny's!!

Had a similar ToT experience on this trip....but that will be for another update

Fantasmic and Wishes are a complete tie for me. Some people might not get it but both shows really bring out some emotion when you hear the music...even if you are 1,000 miles away watching them on youtube. I'm thinking another trip may be in order for you guys just to go see the show In case you can't make it.....

Love, love, love the photos of Fantasmic. Never seen such great pictures before. You are doing such an excellent job!

Looks like you all had a fun time. Hope the fun continues for the rest of your trip!

Flattery will get you everywhere Thank you and yea we were having a great time...gotta stay tuned to see how it goes though

Thank you for restoring my faith in my sense of humor I crack myself up but Tina does NOT find me funny Yea, I laughed a little when I wrote that....and I laughed again just now thinking about that guy in that shirt. Oh, I so hope he stumbles onto this report someday

I know the feeling, our wives clearly don't understand us

I hate TOT, went on it with Stef once in 2010, couldn't bring myself to do it last year, so I sent our friend Joe on with her instead haha. Problem is, she wants me to go on TOT in Paris soon......

Great shots as always, I always either forget to take pics on rides or im just too chicken, i'll stick with the first excuse as that's much better.

Oh c'mon! You better remember to take some Pics in Paris!!! I think I remember someone saying they heard a girl screaming the last time you went on......oh wait, ummmm....never mind, must have been something else

I think we need to get some of the women on the Disboards to start sending messages to our wives informing them of our funniness. That can't turn out bad at all can it?

Lol because I had nothing to hold onto and it freaked me the hell out I will be taking my camera for sure, if it isn't busy like last time, i will actually be able to use it. It will be freezing cold though, so I need to keep those batteries charged up because they won't be as effective in the cold, is that correct?

I was full of hilarity in the pub last night, though my hilarity often involves being rude and crude so it doesn't go down well with the wife haha. Looking forward to more updates, Stef might actually do one soon as well

 

[sl_underwood]

Your pics are amazing. I have a decent camera but apparently lack the talent, lol. My next Disney fix is not unti Dec, so I am finding I cant stay away from TR. We will also be going with extended family (though not quite as many people as you guys had) Cant wait to read more!

 

[hjd0411]

Great updates yet again! Loving the photos! So looking forward to getting there myself!!! Thanks for helping me through the long months until I go!!
I'm impressed that you are able to keep everyone pretty together through WDW! I have trouble keeping 2 of us together..!!!

[Stefy]

Finally all caught up and loving every minute Can't believe the size of your group, I couldn't put up with more than 4 and that includes me and Dave

All your pics are awesome (as usual), can't wait to read more

 

[annnewjerz]

Well look who it is! Who knew you were doing another TR?! Count me in for this one. We are headed down for 8 days at the Boardwalk in 3 weeks so I need something to tide me over until the trip.

I've only read through the first day so far, but looks fun! That 2-bedroom villa at AKL looks pretty sweet! One question though---did you get FPs for Soarin on your first day and :gasp: not even use them?! Or did I just miss that part?

As I'm typing this, I believe you guys are in Paris! You better have that camera of yours with you because we are all gonna want to see a trip report when you guys get back! Hope you are able to get some good shots while you're there and hopefully the crowd levels are manageable.

As far as being at the Pub....we gotta meet up sometime! I'll warn ya up front, I'm the same with rude and crude. And the more drinks you throw at me the more fuzzy that line gets....it's so hard not to cross that line sometimes! Hope you're keeping warm!

Talent? What's a talent? I call myself the lucky photographer because the only pictures I actually like of mine were luck shots or unintentional. I do have a few where I actually intended for them to come out that way (I have a few lightning shots that I took) but most of my pictures were taken while I was trying to catch up to either Tina or the kids. I don't need to be on a ride to create motion blur, or camera shake I feel like I never stop moving while snapping pictures I hope you have an absolute blast on your trip! Enjoy having everybody there (25 is too much anyway! )

Great updates yet again! Loving the photos! So looking forward to getting there myself!!! Thanks for helping me through the long months until I go!!

Thank you again Do you wake up and count down the days yet? You picked a great time of the year to go! Weather should be perfect and the crowds pretty low Are you doing all 3 trips at the same time? I'm a little jealous!

I know I know These last two weeks have been a little nuts. I'll explain in a minute....

Finally all caught up and loving every minute Can't believe the size of your group, I couldn't put up with more than 4 and that includes me and Dave

Thanks Stef! How's Paris? I saw you tweeted a pic that carried over to facebook but I can't click on it I guess I need to see what the fuss is all about with this twitter thing huh?

Well look who it is! Who knew you were doing another TR?! Count me in for this one. We are headed down for 8 days at the Boardwalk in 3 weeks so I need something to tide me over until the trip.

Hey ANN!!! Long time no see!!! You guys are going to the Boardwalk again!?!?!? LUCKY! I miss the Beach Club sooo much! Take a pic or two for me will ya? I'm going to try to get in another update or two before you leave so hopefully you'll stick around for a bit

And yes, you caught me. We did get the fastpasses but never did use them. Everybody was just feeling run down and they weren't until later in the evening. BUT, they did not go to waste On our way out the door I found 6 people who were happy to get them! I like to pay it forward when I can I can't believe you picked up on that

 

[NateNLogansDad]

I just want to than whomever is still sticking around waiting for the next update. I'm sorry it's taken so long to get an update ready but I recently changed my shift AGAIN. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I am now one of those 9-5'ers that I've heard so much about! Unfortunately, the way I got this shift was because of our company laying off several great co-workers that will be missed. Since we are now running with less staff and work has picked up, we've been busy and overtime is almost expected every day now. Between the work and getting used to the new hrs, I've just been run down when I get home....and there's still a wife, 2 kids, and 2 dogs that want to play.

Long story short, I've just been too tired to concentrate lately. There will be another update soon, I promise.

Thanks for hanging in there!

Rob,

Sorry to hear about the layoffs at your company, that is always hard. Dh just went through the same thing, they got bought out AGAIN and while he survived, he watched some coworkers go.

You know I'm just teasing you with the popcorn, right? (Afterall, it's complementary on this thread, right?)

We leave in six days for a seven-day trip to Wilderness Lodge, so I'm just stalking your trip report to pass the time!

Holy crap, I didn't even notice you had 6 days left!!! That's so awesome!!! I'd be freaking out right now! We really want to just get away with just us so bad especially with this cold weather and all. The weather down there looks a little chilly at night but during the day, you guys are set!

Glad to hear your DH is still there. Being bought can be either a good thing or a bad one I guess. We've been bought and sold so many times in the last 6yrs it makes your head spin. Why I'm still there is still a mystery but it is what it is.

I'll try to get an update done soon I promise. Till then, feel free......

Hey, thank you very much and welcome aboard! My philosophy is it's better to be lucky than to be good....although I do practice alot

Hey buddy! We just got back this evening, but Stef has loaded all the pics from both cameras ready for updating at some point. We got plenty of pics to share, but most of mine I kept thinking 'Rob will like this shot' or 'Rob will totally dig the area so we gotta get a pic' haha. I did totally screw up an attempt on Peter Pan & also Lights Motors Action but some came out ok. Will share pics soon I hope.
