the picture of your ds in front of ToT is so dang cute!!

I'll second that. Ooops, looks like Rosie beat me to it, so I'll third it.

Has he been on ToT? I have a niece who went on it at 5 years old and loved it....she laughed the whole time. I only braved it last year for the first time.

 

[Blueyed Girl]

You are right !!!!

Blue you said you were getting a photo book this time instead of PP !! What is the book???

It's a hard cover book that you can add your photo's to. It's on the photopass web site. It cost about $60. You can sort the pages the way you like them and everything. It's a cheaper alternative if you don't have too many pictures. We did it our first 2 trips because we didn't get very many photopass pictures taken. It was hard to spend $100 on the CD for so little pictures. Here are a few pictures that i took of the book.....

No way!! He will not even get close to ToT. But then again.....neither will his mother!

I'm so excited for you. Your trip with everyone there will be a trip of a lifetime!!! I hope you'll end up being there for the Peeps Fest 2012 so I can finally meet you and so many other people I've become so fond of over the last few months. I realize it's a long ways away, but as you know.....it's never to soon to plan trips to "The World!"

Loooove the pictures. I'm anxious to have lots of pictures of us doing goofy things again. I wish I had taken my baby's there when they were younger, as it is Mackenzie was 7 turning 8 when we went. It's so weird to look back at pictures and see her as little as she was and then I look at her now and think I won't have pictures of her little this time. I know she only be 10 turning 11, but she's grown so much since the last trip, she doesn't look like a little girl any more.

I'll share a secret that no one told me when I had kids. You can never take to many pictures of your baby's.

I use to think I was taking to many pics or movies of my kids when they were little, now I regret I didn't take more! Since pictures and video are the only way we can freeze a precious moment of time, I'll be taking as many as my heart can stand over the years to come.

Have fun this week, I know the week leading up to the trip is so exciting you could almost bust something.

yay for 2 weeks!!!!!

I am so excited and so ready for this trip. I let DS watch a video of the Dinosaur ride on youtube. He is still saying he wants to ride it even though he is "a little scared". I told him he can sit between me and DH. We'll see how he feels after the ride is over. This could be a turning point in his "ride life". It will be interesting to see how he feels afterward.

i hope he's brave and rides it! he may love it!

There will be no Crystal Palace this trip but we will try out Donald's Safari Breakfast for the first time instead!

i bet you guys will love it! we did. it was such a pleasant surprise because we really weren't that excited about it and it turned out to be the best meal of the trip, even over kona and teppan edo!

I am going to miss the Breakfast Pizza!!! Does anyone know if the Donald breakfast at Tusker house has this?

i'm thinking they did. it seems like it had more veggies in it though than yours looks to have. i got a VERY SMALL piece of it last trip. it's at the very top of this picture above the tator tots and next to the bacon.

by the way, love the sign you had made for your DS's class. so cute!

I know what you mean about the pictures. I thought I took too many when he was a baby and now I wish I would have taken even more. I would like to have more pictures of all 3 of us as well as more pictures of me and DS. I'm always the one behind the camera. There are WAAAAY more pics of DS and DH than there are of me and DS.

We do plan to go in 2012! Unless something horribly awful happens we should be there!

yay for 2 weeks!!!!!

SO EXCITED!!!

i hope he's brave and rides it! he may love it!

Me too! He wants to ride it so bad but he's just a little scared. He LOVES Dinosaur's so we'll see.

i bet you guys will love it! we did. it was such a pleasant surprise because we really weren't that excited about it and it turned out to be the best meal of the trip, even over kona and teppan edo!

Yay!! So glad to hear that. Breakfast food is my favorite anyway.

i'm thinking they did. it seems like it had more veggies in it though than yours looks to have. i got a VERY SMALL piece of it last trip. it's at the very top of this picture above the tator tots and next to the bacon.

Hmmm, I wonder if that's the same kind. It looks good!! In fact the whole plate looks good!! Now I'm hungry.

by the way, love the sign you had made for your DS's class. so cute!

Thanks! We had so much fun with that. We emailed pictures back to the class who loved it.

IT'S GAME DAY!!!!

I'm so nervous!!!!!!! But feeling good. Waiting for the game to start. We've got our Saints gear on, we've got snack food ready, it's game day baby!!!!!

1st is Tracy's team (MrsKSomeday) the Colts playing the Jets! Whoever wins that game goes on to the Superbowl to play either the Saints or the Vikings. It's a big day in the football world! Colts play at 2pm (central) and Saints play at 5:30pm (central).

 

[carissanboys]

I love Tracy, but not a Colts fan. Not a Jets fan either, but I'd rather they beat the Colts. I have a feeling it's going to be a Colts/Saints Superbowl.

I have a feeling too! It's funny because Tracy and I laughed and talked about that at the beginning of the season.

 

[Blueyed Girl]

All I know is that the Colts are going to be the Super Bowl 44 Champions!!!!

LET"S GO COLTS

You sure are a brave soul to be posting that on a Saints fans PTR. Too bad you don't have one of your own so that I may return the favor.

Tha'ts okay - she just jinxed them. I'm surprised a Yankees fan isn't also a Jets fan!

True!

 

[punkin413]

i'm a manning girl, too, peyton and eli. i grew up in tennessee and, even though i'm a vandy fan and NOT a vols fan (who peyton played for), i followed peyton wh en he played there. they both just seem like good guys. my dog is named after eli! the superbowl a couple of years ago when the giants won was an AMAZING game (sorry, patriots fans). i'm not a huge fan of any of the teams left but i'm definitely pulling for the colts. i think if it ends up being the colts vs. the saints it will be one heck of a game!

ETA: okay...just read the other post you posted and i TOTALLY don't want to get into a debate about this! i like watching football but it's definitely not something i am knowledgeable enough about to debate over!

 

[englishrose47]

I am not a Sports Fan !! So I just sit around and listen to everyone !! About the only Team I ever followed was Norwich United Go CanariesI guarantee they are not in The Superbowl !!!!

CONGRATS TO THE COLTS!!!!!

I just made our Garden Grocer order!!!! I kept putting it off but it is now done. One more thing to check off of my list. I love making the Grocery order. You KNOW the trip is really close when you place that order.

Before I get settled in for our game, I was planning on posting more past pics! Here are a few to get us started from our 4 night Cruise this Summer (June) on the Disney Wonder!!........


Running to dip our toes in the ocean for the very first time! Cocoa Beach,Florida....

I finally made it!!

[winkers]

I love all your cruise pics!

I'm trying to figure out taking my family on one, hopefully within the next year....If it weren't for money, we'd be booked.

 

[punkin413]

very cool cruise pics! i've never done one but i really want to one day. i want to wait until we have a kid though and that kid is old enough to take advantage of all the kids' activities on the ship. everything looks so nice and neat and clean....i'd love it!
