Pandamonium, Pixie Dust, and Paraphenalia!... What was I thinking! updated 2/1!!

[praisehisname]

Who woulda thunk it? So nice to see him get excited about something!

That salad looks yummy!

If you haven't seen the film... go! I thought it was on par to the last few princess films... Beauty and the Beast and the Little Mermaid!)

We loved it; even my DS15 said it was a good movie!

Sorry you weren't thrilled with your 'Ohana dinner. We're planning eating there in November.

Wow Paula -

I seriously don't know how I missed that last update. Sheesh, was I sleeping or what! You all had such a nice full day at the MK. You sure got to see and do a lot. Wow - I am so surprised that Wyatt liked the characters as much as he did. Who would have known?

Sounds like a fun meal at Ohanas. I'm glad the kids decided to participate. I really enjoy it there and am looking forward to May's meal.

Back to back on BTMRR in the dark sounds like a winner to me. I love that ride.

I will try to go better looking for updates! Good thing Wigd bumped your TR to the first page.

Salads for lunch looked pretty darn good, too!

 

[lovegrumpy]

Love it. Can't wait to read more.

Sorry it took me so long to get to the responses!! Things have been a little crazy! We leave (home) for WDW TOMARROW! I'mstill not quite done packing... I'mclose... but not quite done yet.

Allison came down with strep throat...again! We had her tothe dr today and she started on her antibiotics. My dr was SUPER understanding and called me in a script for me...just in case

I have to work again tomarrow..8-430. I'll get home about 5:15...throw our stuffin the car.... take Allison for a quick run thru of her routines...no more than an hour... but with her being sick, she hasn't practiced since Friday and she won't compete til this coming friday, so she needs a run thru at least on floor and bars. Then once she's done, we will head to Pittsburgh! PGH airport is a good 2 hrs from my house, and they are now calling for snow.... sowe are staying there and flying out at 8am Weds morning. I will relax when I get to the hotel!

More great pictures. I especially like the one with the Christmas wreaths and the Castle on Main St. Very pretty.

Too funny that he was all excited for the Winnie the Pooh characters! That made me chuckle.

I love love love the border around the Princess Tiana photo, so cute!

Thanks LL!! I was shocked to see how excited he was about Pooh and Tigger!
I liked that border too...I usedit around a few other photos as well

I am loving it that little Wyatt just doesn't want to be bothered by the characters, until he sees....POOH!! That just cracks me up. And then there's big bro who just seems to get in every character meeting/photo op. Love it!

Warren was a super great sport! Inever once asked him to get in a photo...he just hopped in LOL!!

Another wonderful update!!! Your pics are amazing! I especially enjoyed the ones of Magic Kingdom at night!!

Seemed like an overall great day at MK!! The girls got to meet a new character...the white rabbit is awesome and a love for Pooh was discovered!!!!

Can't wait to hear more!

Thanks Jen! I was pretty happy with those pics too...especially since they are hand held! Allison is on a quest for Miss Bunny and the Beast this time! We are running out of characters to hunt!

Great trip report I really enjoyed reading it so far, can't wait for the rest. You are very lucky that your next trip is less then a month away now!!! I hope your write about that one too!

Hi Disneylovin24!! Thanks for coming by! Sorry I took so long to welcome you Imay do a mini-TR... for this new trip...I haven't decided yet

Fun Fun Fun!!! I love the look on your oldest nephew's face when you're doing something "childish". Too funny. Typical teenage boy. HA!

He was somuch fun though! even when he did have the 'you've GOT to be KIDDING me!" look LOL!!

More great character interactions for your gang! Alice, the White Rabbit, Pooh, Tigger, Princess Tiana! So fun! It's so cute that Wyatt was so excited to see Pooh and Tigger and loved Peter Pan's Flight so much.

Dinner sounds yummy! We have only ever eaten breakfast at Ohana's -- every time I mention eating dinner there, Charles says he doesn't like the atmosphere there. Go figure.

I agree that The Princess and the Frog was a great movie! I can't wait until it is out on DVD, and I can watch it anytime I want!

I can't wait forthe DVD too! I still can't believeit didn't do better in theatres If we try Ohana's again...maybe we will try breakfast. I'm on a quest to try every restaurant... I have alot of work to do at the resorts lol!!

That picture of Main Street with the Castle in the back.... beautiful! It's so hard for me to really capture that area for some reason...you did a wonderful job!!

I'm so happy to read Wyatt found somethings he liked! Pooh and Tigger AND Peter Pan. And 'OHana!

We caught a glimpse of the Jubilee and it looked really fun, the music was great!!

Sorry you didn't get a chance to watch the jubilee...it was toe tapping fun! My Main street pics always look..well blah. Not bad, I mean, they're pretty, but I just don't know if you can capture the FEEL of Main Street on film.

Great updates. Glad everyone seemed to be more in the spirit!

Thanks Mary!!

My SIL and the boys loved Ohana... so don't take my poor review to heart! It's just not our cup of tea...KWIM??

Thanks MEK!! BTMRR rocks after dark! My girls howl and call for the coyotes when we go up the big hill LOL!! Too fun!

Love it. Can't wait to read more.

Thanks!! I'll try to get it up soon!

 

[ILuvCrush]

Thanks to an early night... we were all up pretty very on Tuesday morning!

it was a lovely day so far(but there was rainin the forecast)... we had a quirky little visitor too!

one of the best things about vacation???? The 'normal' rules fly out the window! SunChips for breakfast anyone???

We headed off to Epcot... we actually made it there before rope drop on an EMH morning! It was really empty... I guess no one wanted to get up that early LOL!!

1st stop... TEST TRACK!

we don't look too excited...but everyone liked it! So much so, we rode it twice!

Then off to Mission Space.... we were the only people in our mission! M and the girls took one simulator and Jen and the boys another. Allison STILL thinks Ellie crashed us on purpose

After our return to Earth... we buzzed over to Soarin! We were going toget FPs... but the standby was only 10 minutes, so we got in line.

MELT DOWN ALERT!!

Warren and Wyatt got into it a bit while in line. I don't know what about, but the result was that Wyatt didn't want to get on. honestly..I was expecting him to not ride, since he doesn't care for heights. So I told him, we would go out the chicken exit... and I'd ride later. This got him calmed down, and by the time it was our turn, he decided he wanted to ride! It was a good thing...cause he really loved it! We grabbed FP for later...and headed for Spaceship Earth.

Of course, I snapped a few quick pics along the way!

We waited about 15 minutes for SE.... I was suprised that it was a longer wait than Soarin!! I got some decent pics in SE for a change! I got a new lens, which does seem much better for Dark Ride pics, since it is a very fast lens!

I rode with Allison... she picked out our future. She chose 'health' which was fun... because I've never done that one before!

Ellie and Warren did health too.... thisis the pic she took....

After checking out the 'dump' area a bit, we headed off to the Seas!

Finding Nemo was cute... but I was really there to see my "MAIN MAN CRUSH!!" Jen, Warren and I found a bleacher seat and the other kids went up front. We couldn't see them from where we were.

Crush came out and started talking it up with all the kids, then he picked a couple to ask him questions.

Wyatt was picked....


I was TERRIFIED to think what might come out of his mouth! He is not known for being ...ahem.... politically correct

Fortunately... it was the rather basic "What's it like to be a turtle?" question.

To which Crush happily answered and then asked Wyatt "Whats it like to be a human little dude??"

Wyatt: "its Awesome, Dude"

Crush: "What is so awesome about it?"

Wyatt: " Opposable thumbs dude"



Everyone was rolling! I was laughing so hard I was crying!! I'm sure Crush has gotten a wide variety of answers to that question... but I'm guessing this was an original!

Crush: "that has to be the most righteous answer I've ever heard dude!"


We then wandered back to The Land.... using DUDE in every sentence... and used our Soarin FPs... yay for having them, since standby was up to 60minutes!

Coming up soon....
Lunch..... a fish..... a princess..... and a Very Merry Monsoon

[2xcited2sleep]

OMG. Opposable thumbs, dude. Priceless!!!! What a fun low crowd morning. Can't believe the wait was longer at Spaceship Earth than Soarin!!

Somehow I had missed your previous couple of updates. Gorgeous photos, as always!! I'm glad Wyatt found some magic in the form of Pooh and Tigger and Peter Pan!

That salad does look delish. But it's your only food porn pic???

So excited for you that you are headed back. Have a great trip!! Can't wait to hear all about it!

 

[Charleston Princess]

What a lovely early morning in Epcot!!! Wyatt's comment was priceless!!! Are you packed and ready for your trip this week?

 

[jenjolt]

Awww what a great EMH at EPCOT!! You guys sure accomplished a lot!! I'm glad that it seemed everyone had an enjoyable morning for the most part!!! LOL I would have loved to be there for that Turtle Talk with Crush...great answers!!!

 

[kschafer]

Opposable thumbs!!!!

Glad your morning has gone relativly smoothly and you have gotten so much done so quickly!

 

[MHTeacher]

UH OH..........What will he say? ......

To which Crush happily answered and then asked Wyatt "Whats it like to be a human little dude??"

Wyatt: "its Awesome, Dude"

Crush: "What is so awesome about it?"

Wyatt: " Opposable thumbs dude"

*SIGH*(of relief)---- That's HILARIOUS!!!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

OMG! I got behind after our trip!

Great updates with great pictures, of course!

The opposable thumbs things nearly made me pee my pants!! That really is the most awesome answer ever!!!

 

[MEK]

Opposable thumbs! That is hysterical. What in the world made him think of that?????? That is such a great answer!

I love Alison's ears....they are sooooo cool. I want those exact ears!

Loved your last update. I hope you are having a great time in the world. Maybe you will get delayed because of all the snow. You sure missed one heck of a storm.

Great update and pics (as always).

 

[brookelizabeth]

Opposable thumbs!!! That is HILARIOUS! What a clever kid! I love how he added "dude" to it as well. That show never fails to make me laugh!

And I'm glad to hear he loved Soarin'!

 

[lmillercrew]

Opposable thumbs!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Awwwww, when I taught 4th grade there were a couple of science lessons that were taught on opposable thumbs....
Using tape and popsicle sticks, lots of fun!

I love that answer!

 

[praisehisname]

I love the conversation between Wyatt and Crush! And so glad he stayed to ride Soarin' and loved it!
