Pixie Dust & Wishes! I've gone insane!10/25 We're home!!! :(

[MEK]

We should definitely take flat MaryEllen and Flat Cynthia!! Don't tempt me to cut you two out of a pic and take you along! You know I'll do it!!

If you did, I would totally crack up when I saw the pictures! Seriously, it's the next best thing to be there. If you can't take us to V&A's can you take me back to the ditch or even to the slushie stand! Surprise me!

V&A is going to be soooo much fun!!!

Day 5! 10/19!!

Ahhh, Day 5!

Another day I’ve been looking forward to!!

We will be having family portraits taken!! Not by photopass, but by a professional photographer!

I had originally looked into doing the photopass session but it seems that people haven’t been happy lately with they’re getting for the amount it cost.

So I decided to see if I could get a professional photographer to do it!

I actually had a photographer in mind! I saw beautiful family pictures on cdotla’s TR taken by Nathan and Jensey Root. So, I looked them up and gave them a call. I had a very nice conversation with Nathan and it turns out they have moved to Memphis and return to WDW often to do weddings etc. He checked their schedule to see if our dates matched them being in WDW. It turns out that they will be away shooting a wedding in another location. Booo!

So, I did a little research on the wedding board. I found some fabulous pictures taken by Randy Chapman! So, I called him and set everything up! He will be taking our pictures at 10 am on the 19th at the Boardwalk!! I’m super happy about this! You can checkout his photos here (if you click on Menu you can go to family and see his family portraits, but I know those wedding photos are to amazing to passup!)

After the photo session, which I’m assuming will be a few hours, we’ll head back to the room and hit the pool!

Dinner for the night will be at Raglan Roads! We first ate at Raglan in December and DH and FIL LOVED it! I loved it too! But, DH and FIL really wanted to stay and drink beer and listen to the music! I’m hoping to be able to indulge them this time!

Then we’ll get our shop on!

Day 6! 10/20!!

Morning in AK!! Simple as that!

The safari, EE, and The Boneyard are the only must do’s!

The afternoon will likely be spent at the pool and then it will be time to get ready for our second MNSSHP!! I’m so happy I decided to do the party twice! I want to be able to do EVERYTHING!!!

After a late night at MNSSHP will come;

Day 7! 10/21!!

This day will likely be “what do you want to do today?” day! We’ll leave it up to the kids!

For dinner we will dine at FIL’s favorite place! Hoop De Doo Musical Revue!! FIL thinks HDDMR is hysterical and loves the family style meal! HDDMR is always a fun experience and I think the kiddos look forward to it each trip with MIL and FIL!!

Day 7! 10/22!!

Date morning for DS8 and I!!

Being that it’s morning EMH at DHS we will head out early to get a ride on Star Tours, TSM and maybe a few other things!

After that we shall see! I’m going to leave it up to the kiddos!

We do have an ADR at 7:15 pm for Crystal Palace! Ryan will be very happy to see Tigger!!!

Day 8! 10/23!!

Boooooooo!!! The only thing on tap for today is going home!!! Boooooooo!!!

The car is scheduled to pick us up at 10 am for a flight at 12:15! Then we’ll be home!! Boo!

That's it for now! I'll be back later with another quick update and then we're off tomorrow! ​

Day 5 plans sound great. We ate at Raglan for the first time a couple of weeks ago (it is mention in my TR and I reviewed in my dining review) and we really enjoyed it and would definitely go back. My DH is not a big one on "set up photos", but I would really like to do that some time.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

[TanzUnited99]

I had a look at Randy Chapman's website and his shots are great! I can't wait to see the results of your photo session.

I'm happy to hear HDDMR is in the plans again - hope DFIL gets picked this time as well.

Boo on last days! They shouldn't be allowed!

Have a great trip!

Good morning from WDW!

Day 1 went well, especially after getting up at 3:30 am! There were a few bumps in the road! Actually Day 1 would be titled "Remember, Patience is a Virtue..." But, with a lake/MK view, a happy birthday boy and a jacuzzi tub all is right with the world! ​
