Hi Katie! I just read your entire TR! SOOO good Your family is just precious! The Grand Floridian looks incredible. What a great view! I think the pictures of Abby with her rainbow face paint are my favorites. Oh--and the one of her with her ears and balloon in front of the MK exit The family beach pictures (from your beach trip) are perfect. The one of you and the kids in b&w is my favorite! What a great BBB experience--it looks like a "Practically Perfect" trip so far!

Love the trip report!

We are a lot alike when it comes to roller coasters. Thunder Mountain was my first too, followed by Everest.

Can't wait to read more.

You are so sweet, thank you!! I cant believe you read the whole thing---how flattering

GF was amazing. I would highly reccomend it to you guys, especially since you don't have kids yet. It is kid friendly, but still really quiet and so romantic. The rooms were very large as well.

It was a great trip--so happy you are reading along and SO JEALOUS you are about to leave yourelf

Love the trip report!

YAY!! Another scardy-cat I am slowly getting over it thanks to Disney!!

Hi Katie

Hi Jo! I was thinking of you today. Getting anxious to put in my application to Disney Mom's! Will they post the questions the day of, or before? I have been going off of the ones you told me about from last year. Got my answers all ready

Hope all is well with you and your family!!

Oh Becky...you will be so surprised and disapointed! haha. Thanks--Ariel dress was a hit~ People are always asking me where I got it!

SO funny! You may be in the background of some of the pics!

Looks like LSU is going to have a looonngg season this year! They looked a little shakey on Sat. night. Maybe it was the time difference and the flight (we Tiger fans always make excuses) Thanks for reading!

That is too strange!! We probably saw eachother! Are you doing a PTR? Can't wait to read about your trip! Where are you staying this time?

 

[DisneyFairy66]

No I dont have a PTR for my Jan Trip! We havent booked anything yet because were are unsure of what hotel we want to stay at. Id like to do AKL...we are staying there this October, so if we like it enough we will try to do it again in Jan.

We must have passed each other in October lol!!!

I just found your report tonight, so I sat here and read the whole thing. It is getting me so excited for my upcoming trip. I love the way the GF looks and can't wait to stay there.

I will say, even as a Florida Gator I think the kids LSU outfits are cute (only team I can't stand is Auburn)

OOOHHH AKL in October! How much fun! Can't wait to read about it. What a lucky girl going again so close to your trip! We would love to stay at the AKL, but we are going to wait till the kids get older considering how far it is from Magic Kingdom

Do I hear "BOUNCE BACK" offer!!!
have a great trip!

Yea! I have always wanted to get a bounce back offer. Maybe I can book my Dec 2010 trip while we are there in January? Thanks for reminding me Now to convince the hubby...

Well, I had always disliked Florida till Tim Tebow (spell?) Wow, he is cute

Thanks for the compliments! Just ordered their new LSU outfits for the Fall! When is your next trip?? Thanks so much for reading

Tebow is just to darn cute, and a good boy that any Southern daddy would be ok with his daughter dating. To bad I am married now

We have a surprise trip planned for my parents 44th wedding anniversary from Sept 24-26th. We live in Kissimmee, and were having the hardest time getting them down here, until we told them that we bought MNSSHP tickets for them. That did the trick because they LOVE the party. I just realized I really need to do a TR.

You are doing a great job on your TR, now I need to go read you PTR!

 

[BippityBoo]

Hey Guys

Long story, but...my husband and I decided it would be best to take the pics of the kids off of the internet (facebook, DIS, etc.) Obviously, our kid's safety is number one in our book so, this is the best way to protect them. Nothing bad has happened! We just want to be safe.

On that note, it does make me sad because I do not want to lose anyone on the TR and my PTR! In order to keep it interesting, I will have to step it up with my writing and take lots of pics of the scenery, buildings, etc. Think Emma (AG Princess)---who does an INCREDIBLE job of trip report writing while taking pics of the back of her head and her American Girl doll. You should check her trip reports out...

Anyways, now that I have made lots of DIS friends, I know ya'll will come along with me and you know what we look like so, use your imaginations! And don't worry, I will definately still post pics of the kid's outfits!! Wouldn't want you to miss out on that Thanks for your understanding

Katie I totally understand, you can always blur the childrens faces in photobucket if you still want to post photos

BTW I hope you've applied for the Moms Panel, that 3rd question was a tough one though wasn't it

here's her thread if you'd like to have an idea!
I forgot about that!! great idea!!

Hey - now there's an idea!!! That way we could still see your kids wearing their adorable outfits (this from the clotheshorse who started the original disboutiquers thread!), but their identities would still be protected! And you wouldn't lose the impact photos always add to the TR!

Great idea Jo!

HELLO JO!! You are a doll! I would love to mark out the kids faces...why did I not think of that? To be honest, I have been in sort of a funk this weekend about it but you just saved my Trip Reports! I can use a mickey and minnie or something for their faces...brilliant.

Also, YES! I left class early (haha) and went down to the computer lab to send it in. All of the answers were honest and full of my character (I hope!) and personality. I am crossing my fingers. Thanks again, your the best
