Over the river and through the FUN!

[Lovemy3babes]

Chef Mickey's is on our list for the next trip so I was so happy to see these pictures! Yum, yum, yum. Love all the photos! I wish I could win the lottery and then go blow a bunch on only souvenirs.

 

[pooh'smate]

Hi MeMom and Jill. Hope you are both having a wonderiffic Wednesday.

 

[IluvXU]

Did you see the 4/3 deal is being extended through August 15 come Monday- just wondered if you can take advantage of that?

 

[twob4him]

Hi Memom, Jill and family!! Wow you got GREAT prices on your flights! So I was just stoppin' in to say goodbye briefly........ where am I going you ask???

To Disney World!!!! Just going for three nights but I am sooo excited. Going to be meeting with my sewing buddies from the disboutique thread!!! So is there anything I can get for you ladies or take pics of (I won't be half as good as you at taking pics)????? Please let me know!

 

[MeMom]

That makes it all SO real.

I actually called disney last night to see what the prices would be with our pin # we received. I want to go again at Christmas but I don't know if that's going to happen this year. But as for the pin# I think there are just as good of deals that get offered seasonally, and maybe they will do free dining again at Christmas

I can't believe you only have 9 more weeks!! Hope you are doing well

I hope a Christmas trip works out for you. I know how much you love to see your castle all lit up in sparkling icicles.

I love the videos of Brooklyn dancing! How cute!

I wish I could have Chef Mickey's for dinner tonight...yummo!

congrats on booking! That's so awesome!

It was a relief to find reasonable flights. We've had the rooms booked for a while, but we just didn't know exactly how we were going to get there.

Winning the lottery would be awesome! I'd like to know what it was like, even just for one week, to have enough money to do whatever you wanted to with some left over.

Hi MeMom and Jill. Hope you are both having a wonderiffic Wednesday.

It was an okay Wednesday, I suppose. It was Jill's off day, so I'm sure her day was somewhat better than mine!

Did you see the 4/3 deal is being extended through August 15 come Monday- just wondered if you can take advantage of that?

We'll check into it. I read on another thread that Disney reported a significant decrease in bookings, so maybe a lot of good offers will be out there for the whole year.

Aren't you the lucky one?!?!? Three nights is better than two or one or zero. Meeting Dis buddies will be fun, too.

When are you going?
You can mail me a couple of zebra domes.


******************************

At Chef Mickey's, along with the food, there were friends.

You've already seen Donald.

Here's Miss Minnie.

Here's Brooklynn dancing.

Pluto.

Goofy swallowed Brooklynn up with a hug.

I think Brooklynn is telling him (in Three Billy Goats Gruff fashion) that her big uncle across the table would make a much heartier meal than she would.

Jill takes pictures, too.

Maybe she'll put some of the ones she took on here.

Mickey tried to get in on Brooklynn's dessert action.

Thank you, Mickey, for not taking all of my dessert.

Mickey signing da book.

Donald again.

That was it for Chef Mickey's.

It was very good, and everyone left very full.

 

[scottny]

what a wonderful couple of updates.

the pics and videos of her dancing were cute.

the dinner looked wonderful. looked like a lot of fun.

You better get to the dentist before it gets bad! Tooth pain will bring you down fast.

Maybe my dream is a sign that you need to go back to WDW, at least for a visit. You can tell your boyfriend that, anyway!

I didn't see the Duggars at Disney. I'd like to, though.
I'd like to see Jon and Kate go back and see if she has chilled out enough to let the kids have some fun this time and not be so stressed out about an ice cream spill.

I havent been on in a long time i got laid off from my job, so any chance that i had to go to the dentist with insurance is gone.

I didnt see the Duggars at Disney either. I dont even think they would go, it probably against there rules. Yes, hopefully by the time Jon and Kate go back, she should be chill about spills.

Well i got a lot of catching up to do. Reply later.

It's not supposed to get above the 20's here for a couple of days, which means heating bills will be higher this month. Don't they know that interferes with my budgeting plans??? You people up north must have outrageous heating bills! I hate that for you.

Yes they are quite outrageous! You should have seen my boyfriend's face when he opened the bill.

Super exciting news! I get the internet on Saturday. You guys will be my first stop when I log on for the first time.

Yay! Now you can DIS again from the comfort of home. Thats a nice feeling.

Anyway, I talked to Jill at lunch break, and I was venting to her all my frustrations. She was headed home from doing errands to put Brooklynn down for a nap. I went and got my kids from lunch, finished the rest of my school day, and right at the end of the day, I was shocked beyond belief to see Jill and Brooklynn standing at my classroom door! She said I sounded like I needed a pick-me-up, and a visit from them was the perfect one! I couldn't have been more excited! That was totally unexpected. Totally unexpected and much, much, much appreciated!

We made the rounds to see a few of my teacher friends and then went over to Opry Mills to the Disney Store.

Then we picked up Sonic and came back to the house.

I know this may sound so trivial to some of you, but I just wanted to share my joy with you guys and brag on my girl and how good she is to me. There are some days I just love being a mom, and this is sure one of them!

A Surprise visit, Disney Store, and Sonic? Sounds like a wonderful afternoon.

I only wish i had a relationship with my mother, like you and Jill have. (She doenst even care for going to Disney because of walking, heat and crowds.) Could you adopt me? j/k

That got her all stirred up!

Oh yeah, I did say that.
Am I pathetic, or what?

Not pathetic, very clever!

Then we got mass quantities of the good stuff!

oh that looks so yummy

 

[Charleston Princess]

Ahhhh, it is obvious that Mickey and the gang love Brooklyn as much as Brooklyn loves them!

 

[dancin_princess]

So does anyone know if this is a new sign?
Declansdad asked, but I'm really not sure.

Nope, i'm not sure if that sign has been there[/quote]

It was just beautiful, and Erica will back me up, as will many others of you; if you have not seen it in person, you really should make plans to do so!

yes, the castle is very beautiful all lit up, but i've never seen this castle show.

We're hoping to see castle lights again in December. If all goes well, Jill and I and the little girls will be going after Christmas and staying through New Year's Day. We're hoping for that, anyway!

You have to be immersed in the crowd and see it in person, but youtube is pretty good for giving you a glimpse of it.

You're a sap. I'm a sap.
There are a bunch of saps around this place!

another sap here, i saw a video on youtube of the POP CMs doing the hustle and i got all teary eyed.

It warmed up into the thirties today. Drew just came in and was saying how warm it feels out there!

we've said the same thing...its funny when u guys were having light snow down there it wasnt even snowing up here

ariel is the only princess i haven't seen in person.

Brooklynn is learning from others, I guess her school friends, how to be scared. She's never been afraid of anything at Disney World, but at this age, she showed signs of a little reluctance here and there. Just a little, but you could tell a difference in the unwavering 'I'm game for anything' attitude of her younger days.

Brooklynn has never been scared of any of the rides. SHe has always been ready to go on whatever we take her on even after we scarred her this summer riding Barnstormer

that's proabaly what did it. poor thing.

 

[dancin_princess]

She could be dreaming of Disney World with a smile like this one.

Also on a very happy note she is actually measuring a few days smaller than where we are. After looking at my weight gain, the ultrasound, and other measurements my doctor feels very confident that we won't have a 10 pound baby in April. So that was definitely happy news.

What a precious little smile for the little disney dreamer. For your good news

One important thing - could the doctor tell if she has the patience gene?

I can't wait to hold and kiss and love and spoil that little girl!!!

And yes, I have no doubt that she is doing Disney dreaming.

And take tons of pictures, no doubt?

I did read about that. I love all the parades, of course. I read that this new one is another 'stopping' one, like Block Party Bash. I'm not crazy about that idea, but we'll just have to get there and see what it's like in reality.

I miss the Stars and Cars Motor Parade. That was a good one, but it's always good to see new things, too.

i dont like the idea of another stopping parade, and i too miss the stars and cars parade

Jill called me this morning to aggravate me again about showing the food. She loves Main Street Bakery.

i love Main Street Bakery too, so yummy. I miss it so much!

********************************

I youtubed the new parade. Watch it and tell me what you think.

i'll be sure to check it out.

Since I now have the ability to add the pictures I took I thought I would add a few plus a video.

thanks for sharing jill.

I'll catch up some more later.

MeMom, How's the weather down there today? My dad says it about 27 degrees in FL and here in WI its 3 degrees. Hope you have a Toasty Warm Thursday (even if the weather is freezing)

I heard from the insurance company and they wrote the car off. I get a new car now. Hopefully, it all gets finalized soon and I can give the rental back and pick up a new car.

I'm so sorry to hear you lost your job dancin princess it must be scary for you right now, my heart goes out to you.

for a new and better job!!!

It makes my day to see Brooklynns happy face with all the characters at Chef Mickey's.

twob4him you are a lucky girl! Have a great time and be safe. I'd be happy to see any pics.

 

[kschafer]

I heard from the insurance company and they wrote the car off. I get a new car now. Hopefully, it all gets finalized soon and I can give the rental back and pick up a new car.

Glad to hear that is all settled. Have fun shopping! I'm feeling for you

Can you believe when my insurance policy got renewed last month they didn't raise my rates? I was stunned!!! I couldn't believe after over $20,000 between the van and medical bills they didn't charge it against me.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Brooklynn looks so cute with Mickey & The Gang.

 

[pooh'smate]

Love those pictures of Brooklynn and the gang. I can't wait to go to CM for breakfast in Sept.

 

[RNtheRN]

I thoroughly enjoyed reading through your trip report, and your daughter is sooo cute. It makes me so happy to see so many people have the time of their lives at WDW. It is our absolute favorite place on earth. Reading about your great times just makes us all the more joyous as we wait for our April trip. Good luck with the new addition and much happiness and joy in the coming years......with Mickey and the gang.

The Groundhog says we get six more weeks of winter, so I guess we'll keep our winter coats handy for a while longer.

our groundhog said that we're gonna have an early spring. i'm ready for it! i hate winter. hate it. i don't enjoy being in PAIN when i go outside. right now it's 20 degrese here so i'm hoping our groundhog was right!

Goofy swallowed Brooklynn up with a hug.

where'd brooklynn go???? it looks like he literally swallowed her.

the pics of brooklynn with the characters are so much fun! i love her little expressions. i wonder what's going through her mind when they're sitting next to her.

 

[tinkgurl]

Again, there's that smile!

Haha, where did Brookie go?!

 

[DisKate]

Chef Mickey's is so much fun! We have a ressie for March, but now we aren't sure if we are going to keep it or not....I'm really hoping that we do!

 

[k_reile]

what does Jill's maternity shirt say?? It looks cute though I'm not in the market for maternity clothes at the moment
