[ronnmel]

Ok, finally felt strong enough to come read your intros without crying. I love seeing the pic of your mom with her grandchildren. So sweet! I'm also happy to finally put a face to your name, and what a lovely face it is. No wonder your boys are so cute!

 

[Marsheliz]

Awww- that is so sweet. Thank you!

Monday- September 21st​

Ok, after we get our bellies stuffed from Ohana- I have plans to hit up the Animal Kingdom for a little while... This is normally "Just a few hours day" for us.. We enjoy Dinosaur, Dinoland, It's Tough to be a Bug, Kali River Rapids....
We didn't even do the safari last time and can you believe I have never ridden the Yeti? I have to do it this time...

This is us last year....







The past two years we have done Tusker House but we aren't doing it this time.. We enjoy it and all but really wanted to try at least two new table services this time!

Marcie, I'm just gonna say it because it needs to be said... YES you have to do Everest this time!!!!

That is all... for now.

 

[Marsheliz]

I know! I'm a loser! Do you know what height requirement is? I'm hoping my 5 year old can ride!

Haha, no you are def not a loser. I think the height limit is 44 inches.

 

[Marsheliz]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking... Don't know if Laws will make that or not

Life Update:​

So... We ended up with a big purchase over the weekend... I had a small Toyota Camry and we ended up trading it in for a van!! I never thought I would ever own or even possibly want a van... But, with two children and hopefully God-willing, another one day- ( Hoping for a little pink Princess!! ))) the Camry is just too small.. Traveling with two kids in a car is hard.. Especially with Disney- 8 hours in a car is just too small...

Here is a picture of it: Not actual one but just like this one.




It has electric doors which will come in handy when Laws starts K in the fall, huge screen DVD player, back-up camera... It was a used van but looks brand new. Hopefully I didn't lose too many cool points for buying a van.. A lot of people are like " I would never drive a van".. Whatever.
Our 8 hour Disney trip is going to be so comfortable and wonderful in this versus the car

 

[DisneyKid4Life]

Congrats on the new purchase Marcie. With 2 kids, yup the van is a good choice.
It's sure to make a much better trip to Disney!

I love it!! All my friends with vans just love the space. You loose no cool points in my book
I hear you on the lack of space. I have a small SUV- Jeep Compass and we are going to be very cozy on our drive to the world I just hope we survive!!

 

[ronnmel]

I would actually love a van, but it's too expensive for me. I'm sure it will be very useful.

 

[Marsheliz]

Thanks guys! Glad you guys like it! )) hopefully I enjoy it for a long while!

 

[GrandCalifornian]

You're a Mom, having a Van is cool! We never thought we would want a big SUV, now we can't imagine traveling without it. Congratulations, you will love it.

 

[MissScara]

We will be there at the same time! This is the first PTR/TR I'm actively following! Sounds like a blast!

[MissScara]

My DF and I are spending our honeymoon at POR Sept 16-22! SOOOOO excited!!

Oh wow, sounds like fun.... I debated on staying at POR and still am skeptical about CBR... I wish we could go for longer than our 4 days!

We had a family trip about 5 years ago and stayed at CBR. We truly only used it as a place to sleep. It really didn't leave a lasting impression on us. As I said though, we only used it as a place to sleep. Im sure it will be a nice place to come back to before the midday meltdowns little ones tend to have!

Hi Marcie! I'm following along. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's passing, I can't imagine how tough that must be. I'm sure she'll be with you during this entire trip, loving it just as much as you are!
