Ringing in 2010, 6 months til we'll be back again

I love the little "secret place"! There are some cute picture opportunities in there!! Chad and I visited it on our honeymoon, but we haven't since then! I plan on taking Hollie the next time we go so hopefully she can see some characters in there!:goodvibes
 
what a great update. I forsee a snack or breakfast stop this summer at your special spot! My girls would go crazy to meet Snow White!


Love Bella's kiss!

Enjoy your day off!

let me OUT!!!! :rotfl:

Brooklynn is fascinated by these old cartoons.

when we were eating at casey's last december luke was fascinated by those old cartoons, too. he was just mesmerized. i thought that was so cute because technology has come so far and yet the kids still love the original stuff!

She left quite an impression on Bella.

:goodvibes

More time with Snow White. She just came through and sat down and made herself at home with Bella.

how fun would it be to have that job? just playing with sweet babies all day!
 
We have one more day. After that, we would have to start making them up. It is so very rare that we get snow days at all, so we are all very happy about it.

Do you still have snow or is it just ice now?

Jill has a hard time choosing between cinnamon rolls, chocolate croissants, and apple turnovers. Sometimes we get one of each so she can have a few bites of all of her favorites. The leftovers go with us in my now famous ziplock bags. :laughing:

:laughing: I may have to start employing that strategy!

I enjoyed reading all the bits of animated films trivia while I was eating my lunch, and I love, love, love how Snow White plopped herself down to play with Bella!
 

Hooray for a snow day because we get more updates!!! :woohoo:

Breakfast looked VERY yummy. I've got to put that on my to do list. We've never eaten there. And I love your secret place. I am a big fan of finding a secret place to hide. We've got to get over there and use some of those photo props.

Love the smooch on the cheek picture. Priceless! And what great one on one character time you got! So special.
 
Brooklynn was asking this CM about when and where we would find Tiana.

I am almost POSITIVE this is the VERY SWEET photopass guy that stayed to take mine and Matt's picture by the castle right after the lighting show. It seemed he was going to get in to trouble, but he kept telling everyone that came up to tell him he had to go in that he was staying!! Wish I could see his face straight on and I would prob know for sure. But he was SO sweet :goodvibes The pictures didn't turn out that good b/c he didn't have a tripod. But I didn't care!! They are some of the most precious pics to me from our trip!!

Here's the link with the story Sweet story :cloud9:

Hope you enjoy your snow day...I'm sure you would be fine with going back tomorrow and not using another day right now. It's exciting but not so exciting once you know you have to start making them up right??? :headache:
 
Love the updates and pictures!! (We have another snow day here today) How fun that ya'll ran into Snow White!! Precious!! :goodvibes
 
So is this "secret place" just down from the Main Street Bakery? What a neat little area. Do characters just wander in and out from time to time? I can't believe I haven't ever read anything about it. What fun you all had in there! How neat that you had Snow White all to yourselves. :)
 
MeMom and Jill, I am all caught up. I found I could Dis while I was work and then they blocked it so I got behind again. Last night at work I found they had unblocked it so I can stay caught up again.
 
I am glad you got your snow days. I am glad that you had Jarvis to watch out for you. He seems to be a great guy. I enjoyed all your pictures and updates. Seeing those pictures surely does make you wish you were there. I will have to remember your secret place on our next trip, thanks for sharing it with us.
 
I am finally caught up again. I will try harder to not fall behind...:rolleyes1

Please know that I am praying for Bella, and for you, Jill. The waiting is so hard!

You've had more snow days than us! It has only snowed a decent amount over the weekend or over vacation.

I love the pictures of Bella and Snow White. We may need to go find your secret area when we're there. :teeth:

You will love our secret place. There are tables to eat at, the movie room, which is interesting, and you'll probably see a character or two.



Not sure how I missed all your weekend updates. You were there EARLY! I'm thinking it was worth it for the low crowds.

Enjoy another snow day. I heard on the news this morning that we set another record this winter...the most consecutive days with more than 4 inches of snow on the ground...55 so far and no end it sight! I'm ready for spring!!!

We are pretty much get there early kind of people at least 3-4-5 days of a long trip, especially at Magic Kingdom.

I am ready for spring, too, and we've had nothing like you guys. I imagine spring is very, very exciting for you!



Mmmm...wish I was eating those MSB treats for breakfast instead of the bowl of oatmeal I just ate.

Interesting about this secret place of yours. We might just have to scope that place out.:cool2:

We have a snow day here too. It was a workday for us so it won't need to be made up. I enjoyed doing my report cards sitting in my bed with my jammies on for sure. Will be interesting to see if we go tomorrow. Supposed to get to 40 today but refreeze overnight.

Enjoy your day!:goodvibes

We're happy to share our secret place, but only with our very special DIS friends. :)

That's how I did progress reports - all snuggled up in bed. :goodvibes

You'll get some cute pictures, for sure. I wonder if she'll be as taken with the old cartoons as Brooklynn is?



what a great update. I forsee a snack or breakfast stop this summer at your special spot! My girls would go crazy to meet Snow White!


Love Bella's kiss!

Enjoy your day off!

You don't even know how excited I am that it worked out for you guys to get to go to Magic Kingdom for the one day of your 'different kind of Disney' trip! I hope it is the most perfect day weatherwise, and I look so forward to seing your three happy kids loving that day.



let me OUT!!!! :rotfl:

when we were eating at casey's last december luke was fascinated by those old cartoons, too. he was just mesmerized. i thought that was so cute because technology has come so far and yet the kids still love the original stuff!


:goodvibes


how fun would it be to have that job? just playing with sweet babies all day!

When will Luke be making another Disney visit? What's new with him lately?
Your picture of Margot in the snow was precious!


Sounds like a woderful job to me. ::yes:: If I could make the same money that I do in my present job, I'd be there in a heartbeat. I'd probably want to work at Animal Kingdom in the education department, though. I'd like to do things with school groups.



Do you still have snow or is it just ice now?

:laughing: I may have to start employing that strategy!

Ice. The back roads are still covered with ice. I guess it's going to take more than one day of forties to thaw it out.

Snow White did. She was walking through. We didn't approach her. She just saw Bella crawling around and sat down to play with her.

i haven't mentioned this on my TR but i do have some sad news that's related to luke. anna and chris are getting a divorce. this has been in the works since about october. i had a very hard time with it but now i'm getting better. it's kind of an odd feeling when two dear friends decide they don't want to be married anymore. luke is doing really well with the whole thing. they are both being really great about not badmouthing each other and they get along really great most of the time, so this hasn't been as hard on him as it could be. but keep him in your prayers. ;) i was his age when my parents split up and they too were great about everything, not using me against the other person. i just hope anna and chris can continue to do the same.

i bet working at AK in the education department would be so much fun! you'd be good at it, too. :goodvibes

I suppose you might be getting more pictures tomorrow, then, because they have just announced we're out again. This will be the last free day, so anything after that, we'll have to make up.

Main Street Bakery is a must for us. It is troublesome, though, because there are so many delicious things to choose from!!!

I really don't think we'll get any more than this. This is very unusual. I think we'll go back Wednesday and then we won't have any more. They'll tack days onto the end of the year, if they need to. Since I have a week between the end of school and the beginning of summer school, and since I have no plans for that week, it wouldn't really affect me personally. I am glad to have them now, but it will be hard for TCAP grade teachers to catch up. They will be very stressed.



Love the updates and pictures!! (We have another snow day here today) How fun that ya'll ran into Snow White!! Precious!! :goodvibes

We're getting another one tomorrow.

Wasn't the kiss print cute? :lovestruc

Go into Tony's and go past the gift shop into the back area. Characters come in and out for meet and greets out front. Sometimes they stop, and sometimes they don't. We never stop them, because we know they are on their way to a line of kids outside, but sometimes they will come to us.

I am going to go back and reread your AK day after while. I loved it!



These pics are too sweet!



:laughing: This is great!

I think Brooklynn was telling Snow White about how excited she was to see Tiana. She was showing her that she had on all Princess and the Frog clothes. :laughing:



MeMom and Jill, I am all caught up. I found I could Dis while I was work and then they blocked it so I got behind again. Last night at work I found they had unblocked it so I can stay caught up again.


I'm glad you can sneak us in again. I am guilty of Dising at work, too, when my kids are at Art, P.E., or Music.



I am glad you got your snow days. I am glad that you had Jarvis to watch out for you. He seems to be a great guy. I enjoyed all your pictures and updates. Seeing those pictures surely does make you wish you were there. I will have to remember your secret place on our next trip, thanks for sharing it with us.

You are welcome. Enjoy it. I hope you see some characters, but if not, maybe you'll just enjoy the peace and quiet away from the crowds, heat, cold, or whatever is going on outside.



I am finally caught up again. I will try harder to not fall behind...:rolleyes1

Please know that I am praying for Bella, and for you, Jill. The waiting is so hard!

Denise

She'll be fine, we know, but it will be nice to have it over with. Hopefully, she will just have a very tiny scar, and she won't remember any of it. Your prayers are much appreciated, especially on the day of the surgery.

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


Soooo, it is official. We are out again tomorrow. They showed the side roads in many places, and they are still solid ice with lots of snow. Rain is headed this way, so it should help to wash it away as the temperatures stay right at and above freezing. This is highly unusual for us, but they are just taking precautions. They got stuck with kids on buses until ten o'clock at night in a snowstorm a few years back, and they do not want to have anything crazy like that again.

Sadly, the news has just announced that a lady skidded within the last hour on I40. The wreck was fatal. Keep her family, who probably does not even know yet, in your thoughts and prayers.
 
Hooray for snow days! I wish we had those down here, but we only get hurricane days and those aren't fun. Anyways, catching up on your trip report. I love seeing pictures of the girls. Memom, I'm going to be starting a Pre-Trip Report soon for our December trip and I will post pictures of what we bought on there. Still trying to think of a good name. I'll be praying for the woman's family as they will need it.
 
i haven't mentioned this on my TR but i do have some sad news that's related to luke. anna and chris are getting a divorce. this has been in the works since about october. i had a very hard time with it but now i'm getting better. it's kind of an odd feeling when two dear friends decide they don't want to be married anymore. luke is doing really well with the whole thing. they are both being really great about not badmouthing each other and they get along really great most of the time, so this hasn't been as hard on him as it could be. but keep him in your prayers. ;) i was his age when my parents split up and they too were great about everything, not using me against the other person. i just hope anna and chris can continue to do the same.

Oh my goodness! My heart just sank when I read this! I'm so sad for them and you. I don't know them personally, but they seemed like such a sweet family in your pictures. And how sad for Luke. My parents also got divorced when I was even younger than him, and that is very difficult even when the parents are civil. I will keep their whole family and you in my prayers. I hope something will change for them and they can work it out. :hug:
 
So tragic about that accident in your area, sending prayers their way...
Please stay safe!

I remember you telling us about that secret place but forgot to check it out, not forgetting this next trip though.:goodvibes
I can't blame Snow White for stopping to play with Bella, that little doll baby is simply irresistible!
 
Wow! Another snow day! So very sad to hear there was a fatal accident. I hope that you are able to hunker down and DIS all day long tomorrow!

Thanks for sharing your secret place. That is very generous of you. I will be trying to keep that in mind for future visits. Very good tip. But shhh... I'm not telling anyone.

I guess we were typing at the same time earlier, since I didn't see this. I am in a little bit of shock, I guess, because we kind of came to know them through your reports. We will keep them in our thoughts and prayers and hope things stay as good as possible for everyone involved.

I think working at Animal Kingdom will probably always just be a dream for me. My other dream job would be getting babies/children from overseas orphanages to their adoptive families here in the states.

We get an occasional tornado day in the spring.

Be sure and tell me when your PTR starts. I am really bad about not seeing that people have reports going, because I usually just don't pay attention to signatures.

I was thinking as they were showing the car on the news that it was really bad, because some of her family could have been seeing that without having been notified yet, since it had just happened.



Oh my goodness! My heart just sank when I read this! I'm so sad for them and you. I will keep their whole family and you in my prayers. :hug:


It is nice to have good DIS friends who care so much about the things that are happening - good and bad - in each others' lives. :)
