Sept 2007 My Affair w/Mickey -- Complete!

[Marshay]

Great update Marshay!!

I love where dd is pretending to be asleep in Dumbo..how cute

Looks like those tie dye shirts came in handy

So, what is the GF Photo shoot? I never heard of it before. It is open to anyone??

Kids never forget..I Knew she would want those wiggles when she got back to the room

Gla,d she still napped for you.

Can't believe this is almost over.

Then, time for the next pre-trippie

I bet you made yoru adrs for your next trip, can't wait to hear those

The Grand Floridian Photo Shoot is a 20-30 minute session with your own Disney photographer at the Grand Floridian. You can take shots on the beach, in the gardens or inside. I'll definitely post pics when I get them. It is free if you have already pre-purchased the PhotoPass CD...otherwise you can purchase the CD there or maybe they charge you...I don't remember all the details since we had already pre-purchased the CD.

They are supposed to expand to all the Deluxe hotels and maybe more if it's successful.

DH said he wants to do the DDP again, even though it isn't as great as deal as it was this year. So, I made the following ADRs:

Le Cellier Dinner - FAVORITE
Coral Reef Lunch - NEW
Grand Floridian Cafe Dinner - NEW
Spoodles Dinner - NEW
Norway Princess Dinner - NEW for character meal, although we ate there for lunch before
Hollywood & Vine Lunch - NEW, character meal
San Angel Inn Dinner - NEW
Le Cellier Lunch - FAVORITE (Mother's Day Lunch)

As you can see, we are trying out a bunch of new places this time but anchoring our first and last meal at my favorite place.

Your DD is just too adorable.

Thanks! I'm just happy she is smiling now for the camera...last year it took forever to get her to smile so it always looked like she wasn't having any fun since she was so serious.

However, it's hard not to have fun at Disney!

Oh Okay....Can't wait to see the pics whenever you get them

I am not a big steak eater, but would love to take DH to Lecellier to enjoy it

I did Hollywood and vine for breakfast...DS is not a morning person, so he was miserable. But the rest of the kids looked to be having a great time

I did Norway meal for dinner before it was a princecss meal and we loved it.

That is cool you will be tthere for Mother's Day!!

I loved the update marshay. DD looks adorable in all of them naturally. I love when she pretends to be napping, that's so cute. Good thing you had the tie dyed shirts but then DH is so too you may have seen him heads above everyone else anyway, lol. That's a plus in a crowd !

You are lucky DD still naps and I just knew she'd remember the Wiggles, DGS sure would!!!

Can't wait for the next update Marshay!!!

When we go in October we'll eat most of our meals at the camper but we have to eat at least one good meal out. I like the steak idea, lol, but I'm up for what the majority wants!

Hey Marshay! Thinking about you and hope you are doing okay.

Love the new photos! Your DD is so adorable!

I was thinking we could do two nice meals out and the rest at the camper.

Each family picks one

Sharky and QM - go to Canada! You won't be disapointed!

 

[Marshay]

Sharky and QM - go to Canada! You won't be disapointed!

I second, third, fourth, etc that! We are actually going twice next time and my parents are going three times!

I'm hoping to do steak for one meal and something else for the other...if you are concerned about a non-steak meal at Le Cellier, why don't you start a new post in the restaurant thread to see what folks think?

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Great update. I can't believe its almost over already!

Thanks Sarah.....I am really thinking DH would love it and kids meals look ok for DS

Thanks...we had a fun. Yes, my DH tells me that he has a Nikon D70 DSLR...I use it to point and shoot...he's learning how to use it for night time shots, polarizing lens, etc...but didn't have a lot of time to play with it on the trip.

Now this has me wondering...

Since you're almost done with this TR, is this gonna turn back into a pretrippie since you're gonna be going again?

No, I won't start a pre-trippie this soon -- I never seem to get on DIS enough, but I did want to start sharing my ADRs in case you all just went there.

Thanks...a personal update...this past week has been bad -- lsevere cramping, extra bleeding, steady nausea, some vomiting & loose stools (sorry for the visual)...doc says the first part is my body releasing the baby...the second part he says is unrelated and may be the flu...hmmmm.

Anyway we are still monitoring my HCG levels through blood tests...it finally went down but only 60 pts...doc says it has to go down 400-500 if not 1000 by Monday or else we get another dose...

He did do an ultrasound and said he found "no abnormalities", so that's good.

On a TR update, I realized I only have 1 more pic to post for our last day and I still haven't gotten my Photopass pictures yet . This is now bugging me. I don't want to close the TR until I get a chance to post some of them.

I am so sorry you are having a bad week.

I hope next week is better.

That stinks about the photopass. pics..Has the lday in charge of it contacted you at all?

Sharky and QM - go to Canada! You won't be disapointed!

I've been to Canada more times than I can count but never to your area. I would love to do that one day. I've always been in Ontario...been to Toronto several times, Niagara Falls tons of time and to Gananaqua (or however that is spelled) dozens and dozens of time. I always loved it in Canada. I've been to Guelph numerous times also and a few other places, smaller areas and right now the names are escaping me.

Well whatever you do, you sure do it right as your pictures are fantastic!
