Use the "upload a file" button bottom right of the input box, choose the picture file on you device. After it loads up, make sure you check the Full sized image button. Pictures cannot exceed a little over 1MB in size.

PS - is this what you did?

Helpful as ever! I just got it uploaded above. Thanks.

Now all I have to do is figure out a shortcut to shrink the file-size on my phone without have to email the pictur to myself to do it!

Well we got set up and went to dinner last night. Chef mickeys food was really good and characters were great too. My dds, especially youngest, were quite tired so there was a little crankiness. Got back and put them straight to bed hoping to get them early to go to mk early emh (maybe we'll see you there tripleb) but now I'm thinking I'd better let them sleep in some. Dd8 woke up last night at 11 and threw up. She gets bad motion sickness so I'm hoping it was just from all the driving and not a stomach bug. She does not have a fever so hopefully she'll better after a full nights sleep.

Parenting fail (or win depending on how you look at it). Going over on the boat last night dd4 asks for her blanky and dh and I look at each in other in horror as we realize neither of us had grabbed it. Poor dd was so tired and had to make do without her security blanket during dinner. But then I got to snap this pic of dd8 comforting her little sister and it just warms my heart so much!


So tiggerdad here was the best I could do for you. There haven't been many around and they are fast little suckers.


Today will find us at MK with appts for both girls at bibbidi bobbidi at 11, followed by CRT lunch at 1. Hope they don't sleep too long this morning, I'm itching to get going......

I did run into bambi and thumper last night at the fort


Sorry I missed you serenitygr! We'll be back tonight as soon as the park closes at 7.

Good morning ruthies12!! We're up and at 'em over here in the big bear loop! I really hope your daughter feels better this morning! Six of us are heading to Epcot today to explore the countries and ride a couple rides! Lunch at LeCellier, and supper at the camper tonight. Spaghetti and meatballs! You guys have a wonderful first day!

I am loving yall's live updates! We will be leaving first thing in the morning (2am!). However, we are not going straight to the fort - we are headed to my dad's house in Tampa. We will head to the Fort from there on Monday morning! Just gotta get through this workday (5 o'clock can't come soon enough!), then its home to pack the car (yay for mastering tetris when I was younger), a quick unhealthy fast food dinner (haha), and straight to bed! We are hoping to be in bed by 7pm, so we will see what we can do!

Somebody find me a squirrel...

tiggerdad, We got up waaaaaaaaay before daylight just to catch a glimpse of a squirrel for you ... Got this pic right at daylight and think I've figured out why we are not seeing to many:

Went to MK today. Got there just after the rope drop and bee-lined it to a few rides before the crowds got there. Pirates of the Caribbean was closed for maintenance, Hall of Presidents is closed, I suspect for the addition of Obama, one of the trains is not running, Splash Mountain is under going refurbishment ... anyway, we did what we could and called it a day about 2pm. Took the Monorail over to the Polynesian for drinks, and then back to the Fort ... just in time for the bottom to fall out of the sky.

We're done with Disney and will head to Disney Springs tomorrow for some shopping and dinner at the Boathouse. Leaving Sunday morning for home and back to reality.

The clock strikes twelve dessert and the kids cupcake from crt lunch

 

[ruthies12]

Had an awesome day, ended up not getting there until almost 9 am but was still able to ride quite a bit then had a great time at bbb and crt lunch.

Standing in a Really long, really slow line to pick up a gag, luckily dh already took the dds back to the camper. Hoping my custom cake from contemporary bakery is here as ordered. Will post pics later if it is.

Definitely let us know how the cake goes! I'm thinking about having one delivered to Trail's End for DS's birthday next month.

 

[tiggerdad]

You are all welcome.

Looks like Nate is gonna be visiting Flametamr, South Alabama5er, BamaEd,and myself and stay away from WDW.

 

[ruthies12]

The cake was beautiful and delicious! It was exactly what I asked for. It was very moist with a ton of yummy buttercream. This is an 8 inch custom cake and was 67 plus tax. Its huge and we'll be eating leftovers for several days I think.

Sad to say the fried chicken from TE was very disappointing, dry as could be and very overcooked, burnt in a couple spots.

 

[tiggerdad]

Bummer on the yardbird, but the cake looks really good.

I know where you live, BnD. That's right across from the walkway down to the Settlement Trading Post.

We were across the street from you in 116 this past January. That corner of the loop is a good location (a little tight in places though).

Enjoy your digs.

Tomorrow will find us at HS in the am, then going to Disney Springs in the afternoon. DD8 really wants to do that hot air balloon so hoping for decent weather and that the balloon is operating. It is hotter than hades and the humidity is really taking it out of us.

@Teamubr what is your site number again? If we get back early enough tomorrow night I might try to cruise by and say howdy since I know you are pulling out Sunday.

@serenitygr I'll pop by your site too if I get the chance and if you post your site number again also please? I know you are 1400 something....

Heading to bed!

Today was my birthday and it was a beautiful day! Spent most of the day at Epcot- rode the new soarin ride and absolutely loved it! Definitely more intense than the previous one, but not to where it made me feel queasy at all. ( I mention that because I've read where others have gotten motion sickness from it) there were two times they have new scents, which we loved!
LeCellier was not something I'd do again but glad I tried it. Interesting enough- my moms $12 kids salmon dinner was actually MUCH better AND more food than my son's and my $50 salmon dinners. Lesson learned. But it was a very pretty restaurant, and our waitress was wonderful
Tonight joe took me down to the lake and surprised me with a carriage ride, which is something I've always wanted to do! I just loved it! And I learned that every day at 12:30 they have a free barn tour, so my daughter and I can't wait to do that!
Tomorrow is gatorland!

We were in 1404, but we've been home for 2 weeks. I think you are thinking of TripleD. You are more than welcome to stop by, but that's a 1000 drive to say Howdy.
