Haha!! I'm first!
Bribery didn't work for our little DD4, either. I promised the world and she didn't bite!
Lovely family! I love the *apple* green shirts! You're so crafty, darlin'!

Utah Moma,,funny stuff. Love the foot photo.
Not everyone can get that.

Keep it up, speaking for your dedicated readers.

Loved the apple green shirts - you all look real gooood in green! A Yeti foot OMG! I love your writing. You are so funny! And so original. I am going to be really sad when these are over.

Love the yeti foot . I so can't wait to ride EE....sorry your little man backed out on ya.

You are soooooooo funny. Keep up the good work.

Loving your report! I tried to convince DH & my kids that we shoudl all wear matching shirts one day...EVERYONE vetoed the idea!!! Guess it has something to do with teens & pre-teens.

 

[MomPlanner22]

Sorry I didn't see this until this morning! I must have just shut down as you were posting and sending the PM.

I LOVE the picture of you beautiful Utah-ians! Hey, DH may be Meg's freebie, you never know! I also LOVE Miss Norah Doodle Bop in the picture. You can tell she's had too much of the paparazzi!

Great episode and we'll be waiting for you.....

P.S. I'm with Chicken Little in the gift shop! Wuss alert!!!!

 

[Nurse_Mommy4]

Nice family pic!

Was Miss Norah tired? Or was she just in toddler mode and refusing to take the pic? Bless her heart. I have lots of toddler pictures of DD8 and DS3 where the only part of their face I can see is the binky.

 

[DisneyNutMary]

Great update UM!
Poor Riley, I bet he really wanted to want to ride.
I've been there, so afraid, but so wanting to ride. Poor guy.... I probably would have bribed him with money.
Though all it took to get my little chicken Tommy onto RnR was to promise that I would ride too (I'm so chicken that I sprout feathers at the big rides)

Can't wait to read more.

Look, look, looky at you all in your matching shirts - too cute for words! This is the level of DISness I'm striving for next trip. I've got two months to convince my mother that we should all be wearing matching Disney Xmas hats for the MVMCP. I say if UM can bring a 17 year old boy on board, surely I can manage my mom!

I should be doing a gazillion other things right now. But I can't stop sneezing and figured the DIS was the place to be. SO I just went back and reviewed some of your Pre-Pre Trip Reports, getting re-aquainted with the characters. I highly recommend this tactic! Ready for the next awesome installment with a new appreciation for everyone's personality... Good stuff, as always!

Stitch did NOT wake us up.

I'd like to spread the and smack Stitch!

Plus we are snazzily dressed in our home-spun apple (they didn’t HAVE lime) green t-shirts! .

However remarkably photographs as LIMEGREEN!

Better bring just tons of my delicious Utah-made Salt water taffy in cellophane bags .

Why do all your post make me hungry? I swear I gained 5 lbs just reading you!

....tied with pillaged Alien
Green Mickey Head Paint Chips (laminated!!!).

Of Course!!! You mean not EVERYONE laminates & preserves (forever) these swiped cards that symbolized our devotion and announces our presence too each other while pilgrimaging the Mudda country??????

.I discovered a cheap-mama tip: The crackers are FREE at the pizza spot and the peanut butter is free at the bakery area! Steal a free plastic knife…and VIOLA!
instant NABS! For later. When we’re rumbly in our tumblies!

One more TIP. FREE FOOD = 0 Calories!!!!

.On the way to the bus stop, we stopped to buy a very expensive “pal” for Riley(DS6).

However unlike Mugs, It is politically correct to REUSE PM on return visits!!!!!

.I tried the, “We came all this way and spent all this money so YES indeed you ARE).

If we all just had $1 EVERYTIME this quote was uttered on WDW property, Everyone with a registered DISname can stay 1 month a GF in the Presidential Suite!!!!!

.We are certainly not tacky enough to take a red-neck photo of the photo! We’re not one of THOSE people

.*TILT YOUR HEAD TO THE LEFT

Yeah right that helps!

“winging-it” (from the previous “by the seat of my pants”) and hope this works better for everyone, especially ME!

Well it is all about YOU! Isn't it?


2 cases of Diet Pepsi worth of Refreshing Joy in this update!

 

[redheaded mama]

What a fun report. EE is just one of the things that I am most looking forward to on our upcoming trip (ok, its probably way up high on the list of things I want to do). I'm probably going to have drag a few of my girls on there kicking and screaming (they'll thank me for it later). Animal Kingdom is what we are doing on our first "whole" day at the park as you put it, just so we can see a yeti foot.

I am also impressed that you got your husband to wear a matching shirt. I told my husband that we were going to go "matching" this year, but he still will have nothing to do with it. I think we'll all wear pink just to teach him a lesson.

Thanks for the update. This is great fun.

I am one of those terrible moms that drug my DD 10 on several rides kicking and screaming. She ended up loving most of them. She did not like Splash or SM. She cried all the way to TT and afterwards declared it her favorite.

 

[TwinkieMama]

I love it!!!!! I wish I had been there with you..... maybe I'll have to try September next year (yeah right- it is football season).... the no lines certainly are enticing.... not to mention the free food. Running into the Utah clan bearing gifts and LGMHPCs would be the icing on the Disney cake!

My favorite part is the family pic in the homespun outfits! You are all too cute for words.

Keep up the great writing!

 

[zalansky]

UM - This is the day I have been waiting for! I saw you and your clan on your way to EE that day. (the apple green shirts and the word DIS caught my eye and I made out part of your screen name on the shirt, commited it to memory and looked you up on the DIS as soon as I got home) No, I did not approach you, we were in the midst of pre-schooler melt down becuase I would not buy my darling son an EE "kit". We got some really memorable looks from people...good times. Anyway, if I'd have read your TR before you'd gone I would have surely come up to you for an autograph but since I was in the dark about fockerwatching, there was no way it was happening.
I am no stalker.

Thoroughly enjoying the TR!

 

[saschab]

Great trip reports, UtahMama. I've been following faithfully...

Was Pal Mickey worth it for your family, or did his head start revolving as he spewed battery acid and foul comments like "all Diss'ers must die".....

I forgot to mention in this instalment: Guess How many DIS peeps we met this day???? NONE!!! We gave our treats to OURSELVES!

I am so relieved that someone saw us and appreciated the shirts I "made"!

I am VERY used to the looks you get when your toddler is exploding!
I just want to say, "Move Along...there's nothing to see here!" because Norah sounds like I'm beating her if I simply tell her "NO"....

I think buying ONE was OK, but at first we were going to my Dallen (DS8) one too but he's thinking he's too old for one! (But, he played with it just as much!)

When he bugged me I surgically, turned him OFF! That "ha-ha-ho-ho" laugh he has to alert you to the next attraction can "bug"!

Thank You for reading so faithfully! That's so nice!

THANK YOU!!!! I was wondering when you'd come play!

Free food and no lines at the HOTTEST and most HUMID time is OK by me!

I really like that "Family Photo" because I told my 2 younger boys to PRETEND they like each other, so they hugged swetly (because they really do like each other!) and Jordan is TRYING to look cool with accessories...He's convinced ALL the DIS peeps we're going to run into ( )are gonna have HOT daughters!!! And I'm making my "just SMILE, you brats!" face!

AND, yes, I got some fine new tags! You like?
