[Trentmom]

Hey Dismom!!!

I finally found my way over here and just spent the last hr reading the whole 20 pages

You are a doing a great job and have great pics!!!

That must have been so gross for Peyton sticking his hand in that other kids acicident at that playland..Poor Peyton


Poor GM....for hurting her already bad ankle.....


I am really enjoying this report and can't wait to see what happens next

 

[harleygirl]

owwww that sounds really painful!

Did you get priority seating as you had an ECV?

Oh no poor Rachel, was it completely ruined?

Hope not!!!!!

OMG that's hilarious thanks for posting now Amy why didn't you post that in the first place?

Hi Harleygirl So you still remember my whilst's from the peep thread then

HI JO!!!! yes dear I remember you- and we had a moment to pause and think of you when we were passing by WM when we were at WDW

Planning my next trip!!!


I am planning my next trip and may occasionally put mini pre-trip reports in this report

Who-me,DH,Harley,and her DH. Notice the lack of children.

When-January 9/10-13.Haven't decided which day we are leaving.

ADRs-One for California Grill at 8:00pm.Is that good for seeing Wishes?
One for Yachtsman Staekhose.Don't know if I will keep that one-DH requested it after seeing something about it on tv.

I would love opinions on good places to eat-all my past ADRs have mostly been about my kids.

Don't know where we are staying.I would like to stay at POR but because of budget may stay in a value...

Amy I totally trust your judgement on the ADR thing...hehe- dont you think a breakfast with the Princesses would make the fellas happy tho? esp if Jasmine came to the table... they are hopeless...

I think that all i want for christmas is $$$ for Disney...then we can stay in Mod

Amy,

Another trip to WDW in just 3 months! How cool that you're running and you and dh get to have an adults only trip It has to be a great feeling to know you have another trip planned already! And another trip report?....

I'm already dreading when we have to leave but I'll definitely have to get back when my baby is a little older so she'll have some great memories just like her big sister. And who knows, maybe even sooner than that!

Jenni

I am excited! Yes you will go back sooner than you think.I took my once-in-a-lifetime trip in 2005 and have been back three times since.
Are you going to do a trip report?

Just stopping by to say "hi - back at ya"

I'll try to catch up this evening!

HI! and

I know silly isn't it! Because Jess was classed as an adult we never got any kids meals for Ellie just shared 2 or 3 adult CS!

for Peyton bet he was really pleased



Amy you're all the 3's on your ticker So details please who's going? Where are you staying? for how long? ADR's????? OK so you beat me to it But at least I know all the details now I would definately recommend le Cellier if you can get it the steak is awesome :cloud9 Kona's pretty good too!

I hadn't noticed the three 3"s We just decided to do Le Cellier.I have eaten there but noone else has.

Keep us posted! I am so glad we will all be down there together. Unfortunately I won't be able to have those kind of ADR's since I will have DD with me, and I am pay OP for my meals. We are both picky eaters, so the fancy restaurants aren't for us. I ate the grilled cheese kids meal at ASMu last October and LOVED it! Hopefully we will meet up with y'all!

I am a picky eater too but the others enjoy it.I am going to do the dining plan.Is there anything special you and DD are going to do?Does she like the Princesses?Did you like ASMu?I am still trying to decide where to stay..

Whooo hoo!! Congrats!!! How exciting!!!

Thanks!!

OK, I thought MY husband was the only one with a "thing" for Jasmine!
That cracked me up!!!

Your trip report is great so far DISMOM! I love your pictures, especially the one with Poor GM parked all alone. It's sad that she's hurt though. I hope she feels better! Oh, and poor Peyton. Anxiety attacks are THE WORST! My oldest DS14 had them when he was around 8 or 9. Awful. Just broke my heart. Looking forward to your next update.

 

[dismom9761]

How exciting. A nice adult only trip to Disney.

Yes I have been wanting to do it and the 5k was the perfect excuse.....

Cool you get to meet Sandy is the other DISser Allie? can't remember if that's her username????

YES both of them! I am so excited.

Hopeless is a nice way of putting it....

I don't know..a value would leave more $$ for

Yes that would be me! Hi Jo!

I haven't made any special plans for us yet. Heck I haven't even made our ressies yet! We LOVED ASMu! We stayed in the new family suites. We were in building 10, and were right by the stairs that emptied you out right in front of the food court. We did CM when we were there in October. She liked it, but she gets embarrassed when they make a big deal around her (which is what they are paid to do ), but she might like the princesses. I have got to secure our airfare and room before I can think about "extras".

Are you going to do a trip report?



Thanks!!

I hope you're right! I would love to go back soon! And the bounceback for free dining is so tempting...but I may still be paying off this trip come next September

Ohh, I would love to do a trip report (even though I don't write nearly as good as you, I'm not funny at all, and no one would probably read it except maybe you ) but first I'd have to try really hard to convince dh to let me post pictures of the kids...he's really paranoid about stuff like that (has a little something to do with his job)
It took me forever to get him to agree that the pic in my avatar was ok, especially since it's small and in profile. That's why I never did a pre-trippie even though I reallly wanted too.

So, in the meantime I'll just keep enjoying yours

HI!WE have always known Peyton has issues but he has recently been diagnosed with ADHD,Anxiety disorder and OCD.So your DS outgrew them?I hope he does-he gets freaked out over the strangest things.

I respect how your DH feels.I do know some people do reports and make sure that they take pictures showing the kids backs and profiles.

Lots of people would read !If not you and I would have fun reliving it and it would be great to have while you wait for your next trip.

Hmm,I never thought about taking pictures of the kids backs and in profiles but I think that would be frustrating for anyone who might be reading it or Maybe not

You're right though, it would be fun to re-live everything and as long as I know I would have at least one devoted reader maybe I will think about giving it a shot! Your is soo good and I have a great model to go by from with yours.. so maybe i'll try to jot some notes down when I'm there, just in case

Definitely take notes and decide when you get back.

Animal Kingdom

We arrived at EE and GM said she wanted to ride again. We found some shade for GP and the still sleeping Rachel and we were off to use our first set of FPs.We went through the line without stopping and GM loved the way I took the corners with her wheelchair. The CM told us to get in line for the last two cars on the rollercoaster.Rebekah was going to ride with me and Peyton was with GM.I looked at Peyton and UH OH! That boy was chewing like mad and picking his fingers.SIDENOTE: Peyton chews on the inside of his mouth alot but especially when upset/nervous.He has also started picking the skin off the tips of his fingers. END SIDENOTE
I switched him and Bekah and asked what was wrong.Keep in mind that he has ridden this ride earlier and about 6 times our last trip.He said he didn't want to ride in the back, that he can tell it will be wild. I asked him if he wanted to get out of line and he said no just please hold his hand.I should have taken him and left the line.As soon as the ride started to move he started freaking out.He screamed"HOLD ME!!" over and over. I thought he was going to be sick all over both of us and was shaking all over when it ended.

I was going to take him over and sit him with GP so that we could use our second set of FPs but he said he was ready to ride again,just not in the back. We walked right through the line again and I asked if he could please ride in the middle,which was no problem,and Bekah and I decided to ride in the front car. We all had a blast on our last rides on EE.

Next up...Dinoland....will I finally get to ride Dinosaur??....

 

[zigzagzerr]

Oh Amy! That must have been a tough ride on EE, trying to hold onto your freaking-out son. Isn't it funny what can set them off and also how quickly they're over it?

I'm glad you got to see everything you wanted at AK. Hope GM is okay.

 

[scottny]

your EE pics are fantastic. Sorry he didn't like the back.

 

[blue_river]

I have finished reading up to the end of day one!

Peyton was very lucky to have found his bag

Poor Rae must be awfully afraid of the boats

Loved the pics from Chef Mickeys

 

[LISAMWDW]

Sorry Peyton got so upset!!

Looking forward to your next installment!

 

[mickeymouseclubhouse]

Amy,

Once again, great pics! I love the expression on your GM and Rebekah on EE! It looks like they had a blast!

I feel bad that Peyton was so scared riding in the back...at least he recovered quickly and was ready to go on again, in a better seat!

Can't wait to read more even though I should probably spend a little less time here on the Dis and start packing for my own trip

I think I'm going to go through Dis withdrawal on the trip!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Well I have gone back and read all of your TR. Great job! I still have the beginning of our Oct. 2007 trip in a Word document. It is up to the point to where we are riding on the Tram to MK on our first day! Maybe I'll call it my one year anniversary TR, if I ever finish it.

I am waiting to hear back from Merrie at Dreams Unlimited Travel about the changes I wanted and get a quote from her. DISUNC told me that if I wanted to stay in the Lady building at Pop, it is a standard room, which would save me enough to about pay for a princess breakfast!

Is there one you would recommend? I thought about the one at Epcot.

Sorry your DS lost and found his bag, and got nervous on EE! GM ankle! She seems like a real trooper though. I am enjoying your TR, so keep it up.

 

[DisMomAmy]

That is what I am totally afraid of happening with Alex! Especially on Space Mountain with him sitting in front of me. All indications are that he'll LOVE anything that moves fast - but you just never know what might set him off! I'm glad Peyton jumped right up on the horse again, so to speak.

We're one of those not wanting to post pic's of our kid's faces, especially DH too. But it's all good I'd be interested and would read your TR when you get back even with pictures wih 'no-faces'!

I just posted pic's on my 2008 PTR from 05, not even realizing I had some nice shots of the kids, w/out seeing their faces. You may suprise yourself too! I'd go-for it mickeymouseclubhouse!
Sorry to hijack your TR Amy!

Amy, sorry this won't be one of my more detailed replies....But wanted to say, glad GM has her happy thoughts still! and I too loved your EE pictures, some great shots there! Can't wait to go on that!

So sorry Peyt had a meltdown on a ride no-less, too scary . Super glad he quickly recovered and was able to ride again, with being able to enjoy it

Our kids just loved the FoW show too, glad you all could see, even though you 'snuck in' JK

I so wish I could go do the 5K next Jan, but they're all full....think I could have convinced DH to let me go too sad. I hope you all will do it agian and I can go too and meet you all down there.

Question: What did you mean by you had two sets of FP and baby swaps to use. Do you get a ticket to use the baby swap? I know for sure we have to use it on Soarin DD #3 will be to small, but a thought occured to me, what if our whole family is in line for something and last minute DS 'freaks' out and refuses to go, can we "baby swap" him?

Later, need to get some scrappin' stuff together, going on a girls only weekend away to scrap! Yes, I know it sounds crazy but I can't wait, even leaving the baby behind

Probably catch up when I get back if I don't have alot time this week to DIS!


OH I almost forgot: Here is a link to a dinning review I read not to long ago. I was great, had alot a "adult dinning" in it, think that may help you make some choices. Enjoy!
