One Mom and Three Kids Tackle the World in a Week - Dec '09 Trip Report - Complete :)

[Mndisneygirl]

Great update and pictures! Glad you got your TR Mojo back!
There's always someone who will be a yuck and I'm glad you didn't let it ruin your fun day.
Last days are so hard to write and read aren't they? Maybe that's why I can't finish my TR! HA!

I'll be looking for the adoption pics! When I work in juvenile court we sometimes get to do the adoption calendar and it's so much fun - love to see all the happy faces. We don't see those around the courthouse most days!

What a fabulous morning at MK - love the lack of crowds! We've done the Speedway once, and that was enough for us too - it's soooooo slow and boring I'm sorry about the rude guy on SM, I've come to realize that there will always be a jerk around to try and rain on your parade - I try not to let it effect me, after all - they are the ones with the problem! It is hard sometimes to look past it though. I really didn't like the new way that they have of loading on SM, it was really confusing and unorganized the times we rode.

I love liesurely days at MK.. we tend to do that on our last day too, but this year it was raining so we weren't there long

Leisurely days there are the best, aren't they? Sorry you were rained out though. That's no fun.

He was most definitely a yuck! Very uppity and just not a happy camper. Oh well, life goes on. Yes, last days are tough!! The trip is over but now I'm sad the TR is ending. I will get the adoption pictures posted for you all to see!! It was a really happy day in court. I bet most days aren't like that, are they? The judge was a nice, young mom. Just fabulous!!

Did you take a nap on the Speedway? The SM queue definitely wasn't the most organized. That added to the issue I think. Lack of crowds are wonderful!!

I don't know... I think any day at MK is better then a day at work.. even a rainy one

I agree that Magic Kingdom is just the heart of Disney! What a great way to start and end the vacation! Too bad about the chilliness -- it always surprises me to read that it can be cold -- when we are there in the summer, it never seems like it could possibly get below the sweltering level.

What a fun morning in the Magic Kingdom. I love the picture of all of you on the teacups -- definitely one of my favorite rides!

I didn't know that Minnie and Mickey decorated their houses for Christmas although I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I have never been in the summer so I bet it can get sweltering hot, can't it?! Hard to imagine chilly weather in June/July/August. The teacup ride is classic. I just love it too. The house were super cute, all ready for the holidays! Disney sure know how to do it right!

And as promised, a couple of adoption pictures.

Our family, with the judge-

The boy of the special day-

I couldn't forget the girls and their new braces either-

Thanks for looking!

 

[Tinkermom76]

Wonderful pictures of your family, I am so happy for you!!!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Wonderful pictures of your family, I am so happy for you!!!

Thank you!!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Love the pictures - what a happy family! Your girls are almost as tall as you!! You must be short like me! LOL!
Thanks for sharing!


I just realized after you posted toontown pics that we never went back there on our December trip - I didn't get to see Mickey and Minnie's Christmas decorations! Thanks for posting the pictures so I could!

 

[MeMom]

Our family, with the judge-

Beautiful!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Great pictures of your family! Such a wonderful day for you all!!! I know it must be a relief for all of that to be behind you!

Make sure you take lots of pictures with the girls in their braces -- gotta get your money's worth from all that metal!

Great update. Congratulations on the adoption. I was at DTD on Friday Dec 11 too so I can't wait to read about that part of the trip.

Some people are just idiots! Glad you didn't let that spoil your day!

Lastdayitis... so bittersweet. Looks chilly! I wonder how many cups of hot chocolate they sold that week?

I find that Astro Orbitor gets me just as queasy as the Mad Tea Party... I've done both these rides once and never will again!!

Sounds like Invasion of the Cheerleaders is coming up!


Kathy

ps: How are the girls doing with their new braces? Ouch!

I am totally short! Only 5'2". All of the kids will surely pass me up. And you are so welcome on the pictures Sheree!

Beautiful!

Thank you MeMom. I was given a very special new frame to hang that photo in our living room.

Great pictures of your family! Such a wonderful day for you all!!! I know it must be a relief for all of that to be behind you!

Jackie, thank you. It has been a long journey so you are right, the day was a relief. LOL on the metal!! So, so true. I may photograph them daily for what those braces are costing me. Heeheehee.

"Lastdayitis"....I love that!! Dramamine is my best friend at Disney. I couldn't do half of the things I did without it! Thanks for asking about the girls. They are doing pretty well now. Just adjusting to the things they cannot eat. That sometimes is not so much fun to explain.

Lovely family pictures Kelli - looks like a great day!

Thank you Michelle!! It was a wonderful day!

That is so great! What a beautiful family you have! Congratulations, again!

Aw, thank you!! It surely will be a day we remember and celebrate always.
