Here's DD8's finished Mickey tie-dye that she made at SAB last September.
We arrived yesterday (Sunday) and meet the famous Teena. It was exciting to see the live person that answers so many questions. I hugged her when we meet because I felt I already knew her. My daughter (12 - at the age mom is just so embarrasing) asked why did you hug that lady. I explained that I just felt I knew her. She is as kind and warm as everybody has written. Our first day was great! Lunch at Le Cellier, then a swim and off to MK after the early evening thunder storm (lasted less than an hour). It was EMH so we stayed at the park until 2:00 a.m. The park was terrific we arrived around 7:00 and never waited more than 20 minutes for a ride. I was so happy that the crowd level was so low and the weather managable. We just happened upon the fireworks when we were behind the castle. They seemed as if they were exploding over our heads, really cool. Then we ate and when we came out the electrical light parade was just beginning. There happened to be seats on the sidewalk right where we were. It was a truly magical day!
We did not wake up until noon today and now the kids and DH are swimming. Tonight we plan on taking advantage of the EMH at HS. It is easy for us to stay up late since we have just kept our west coast hours. Tomorrow is late EMH at epcot, I guess after that we will have to start adjusting to east coast time.
We are really enjoying the resort and feel so blessed to be having this experience. It is my girls (12 &14) first trip to WDW and my DH and my first trip in 20 years.
Teena, they got a real kid out of you getting the balloon down from the ceiling by using your balloon with tape. Very clever!

this week and I am using this time to fully immerse myself in Disney, prepping for our trip next month (don't ask how I pulled off two vacations a month from one another). I'm researching the various apps and it seems like mobile magic only gives actual wait times if you are in the parks? I think I recall seeing someone post they could check the times to Epcot from BC/YC because of their close proximity? Thanks!
It is totally crazy! I am constantly changing my ADRs. This time we are headed down with another family and I am trying really hard to stick with our ADRs. It's much harder to find reservations for 7 instead of our usual 4.Isn't it CRAZY we have to think months in advance about where we want to eat??? I miss the old days when you could just walk into a restaurant whenever you felt like it. I mean sometimes you just don't really know what you'll be in the mood for!
Teena, we are seafood people, we would be going to Cape May specifically for that, so would you think we might like it???
So I just found this out and had to share with someone and since it does kind of effect our trip why now share here...
DBF has a full time job!!
He had been applying to every job he was qualified for since moving to PA last September and a company he's been independently contracting at offered him a full time position!
This means we may be able to splurge a little while we're on vacation now! I also think he might get in the mood to hear me talk about what I want to do while down there a little more now since he won't be too worried about his finances now.
Now I just need the next 4 months go a little faster so I can be in Disney
Fantastic News!
