So Much To Celebrate - LIFE and Sophie Kate!

oh my gosh that picture of the girls standing on the wall is so cute. Claire does NOT look happy & the way Bella is looking at her :rotfl: So Cute!!!

Love the pic looking out on Main St. from the castle.:thumbsup2

I get so excited to see the Halloween pics since we will be enjoying it this year!!:goodvibes

UGH for all those bugs! Jeff & I will have to take a walk over to Art of Animation while we are at Pop next month. But maybe not early in the am.;)
 
Enjoyed the early morning walk. Great pic of the Walt and Mickey statue. And precious of all the girls together! Looking forward to breakfast...oh look a the pretty mosaics...;)
 
You did a great job on the Main Street pictures. I love Disney in the fall.:goodvibes

The wall pictures and your narration gave me a good laugh this afternoon. The finished product was adorable, of course you had cute models to work with.
 
Beautiful fall morning on Main Street! The first picture of the girls on the wall is hilarious!
 

Good morning. I know you are missing your girls, but it will not be long till you go on your summer trip! I hope they have a blast and cannot wait to see pictures. I just love your fall pictures. I cannot wait to go again at that time of year. Yay for eating in the castle! I have not convinced my boys to do that yet. They whine if I mention doing anything with princesses involved lately.
Hope you have a great day! Cleaning and little league baseball for me.

I have enjoyed seeing the pictures today. They got settled into the room, ate lunch at Pepper Market, went to Magic Kingdom for a while, and then went back to the room. Jill said MK was pretty crowded. They are hoping to get good naps and go to Hollywood Studios tonight. Semi plan is to eat at Pizza Planet, maybe do Muppets and Great Movie Ride, and then go see Fantasmic. They are going back there in the morning to do Toy Story, Playhouse Disney, Tower of Terror and Rock & Roller Coaster.

I can see where your boys would not want to eat with the Princesses. Yucky girls! ;)

My day - I cut apples to fry, and fixed pork chops, potatoes, and green bean for lunch tomorrow. I also washed three loads of clothes and worked on some school stuff that has a deadline.



I was just seeing Jill's pics from the airport and now seeing how little Sophie was in your report makes you think about how quickly time passes! Wow!

Looks like a beautiful mornin in the MK. Toobad about all those bugs. I would have been crawling on the ground or something. I hate bugs, especially in my mouth!

I walked as fast as I could to get through the cloud of bugs!

Sophie will have a good time on this trip. Right now, Jill said she is catching up on sleep.



Another lovely morning.

Ugh on the bugs, I am sure that was not the best company on your early walk over to AoA.

The overnight crew at any resort is usually cheery. Maybe because while the hours are hard the crowds are lower or travelers coming at those hours have simple needs- get in or get out

I am sure dancing princess can fill us in on the goings on at POP overnight.

:cool1: for a castle breakfast. I may also have a picture from the castle looking at the carousel. Mine was a rope drop picture after a CP breakfast.

I saw that lady looking at Jill and thought the same thing. Jill will have to explain this time that this isn't Sophie's first trip, much like she had to with Bella.


I will wait here and take in the view. Happy Saturday!!!

They thought it was wild that we were staying at Pop and had just borrowed a room at Art for one night to be able to use the pool and see the room. Luckily, it didn't cost much money to do that. The rates were low, and I got an AP discount.



It's a daddy-long legs bird!!

There are many of them, aren't there?



Caught up again! Your pictures are making me want to go back so badly. I miss it so much!

I finagled a four-day weekend this weekend...we have Monday off from school since it's Patriot's day (a Massachusetts holiday), and since I worked on Good Friday, I had a floating holiday to use up. So I got to use Tuesday as my floating holiday and not use any vacation/personal time. It's also April vacation, so we'll have much fewer kids. I'm hoping for horseback riding one day and maybe going to get my bridesmaid's dress for Katie's wedding!

Enjoy your long weekend! With all that time, you really could have gone to WDW with Jill!

How is it that we can miss a place so much it hurts??? Most of the time, I do fine being busy with life, but sometimes I look at pictures and I just ache to be there. I want to book a flight the next minute for the next weekend! :laughing:



Have a great trip Jill. That lady wasn't thinking you were crazy for bringing a baby. She was thinking how does she look so great so soon after having a baby. We ate at the castle a couple years ago and it was so worth it get in early and get pics and just to see the inside of the castle. After eating we went back to the front of the castle to get more pics of Main Street from there. As we were taking them we saw a huge rush of people coming towards us as the gates were now open. We turned right around and headed to Dumbo and we were on the first ride.

Empty street pictures are nice. I'd like to see an aerial view of the masses pouring into Magic Kingdom! :thumbsup2 It would look something like the running of the bulls, I am guessing.

It makes a DISer happy to be the first one on a ride for the day, doesn't it? :woohoo:



Love the fall decorations on empty Main St!! Someday I will see them in person.
We made the walk across the bridge in December and luckily it was bug free.
I read that first line and thought, who hacked Memom's account, there is no way she wrote that!
Have a great trip Jill and girls!! I am sure Brooklyn will take excellent notes for you (and all of us).

Looking at the fall pictures is getting to me, though, since we don't have a fall trip coming. At least I don't. Jill may possibly go for a long weekend.

You didn't think I wanted to get away from seven kids???
You're right. I didn't. They were fun to be around. Claire didn't feel well during the trip, so she was upset off and on for much of the time, but she had her good moments. I know it was hard on her parents. She wanted her Mommy all the time, and as much as Jonathan wanted to help out, she really wouldn't let him do that much.

Bella's body language is speaking volumes. :laughing:

My second-graders are studying mosaics right now in Art, so I am going to show them the mosaics on the castle walls from the internet next week.



You did a great job on the Main Street pictures. I love Disney in the fall.:goodvibes

October is always awesome. So is March. And December. And I like about nine of the other months, too. ;)



Beautiful fall morning on Main Street! The first picture of the girls on the wall is hilarious!

The orange and gold just add a special 'pop' of color, don't they?

They were a lively bunch. Mary Beth was beyond excited and smiled a lot that morning. :goodvibes

Bella: "What the heck is wrong with you? We're standing on a wall.... Because we were TOLD too..."
 
Fantastic pictures of the Magic Kingdom in its Fall finery! I love the MK in all seasons, but I have to say, the Fall decorations are my favorite. :thumbsup2

I went to see some college friends last night, but now I'm back at home and am going to stay close to home tomorrow, too. I need to go to the grocery store but that's my least favorite job and I don't know if I'll have the energy.:rotfl2: We shall see. If not, there is housework beckoning - woo hoo, right?!
 
Bella: "What the heck is wrong with you? We're standing on a wall.... Because we were TOLD too..."

Exactly. Usually it's, "Don't stand on that wall!"
I think maybe Claire was just a little too young to understand the concept at that point. Next time they go, I'm sure she'll think it's cool to be getting to do something so 'thrilling'. :cutie:

There is always something to keep us busy - if we want to be busy. We can also ignore it and have a lazy Sunday, if we want. ;)

Our school system is testing out a two week fall break this coming year. If it goes well and we do the same in 2014, I will hopefully have the $$ for a nice, long October trip. :thumbsup2


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

Update on Jill's trip, for those not on FB: They swam and ate at Pepper Market for lunch while waiting for the in-laws to arrive and get settled. They went to Magic Kingdom. She said it was hot and crowded. They rested/napped in the late afternoon. They did a few things in Hollywood Studios last night, but didn't see Fantasmic. She said it was listed as being at 10:30, but it apparently started at 10. She hopes to see it Monday night.
 
Breakfast here this morning, anyone?

Jill and I were discussing the Cream Cheese French Toast, and we decided we'd share it and another breakfast between us.

This is the French Toast.

Oct2012Middle573.jpg


The server gave it to us free because she overheard us talking and didn't want us to have to split meals just to taste it. pixiedust:
 
When the royal ladies started coming in, I gave the camera to John to get regular shots, and I took video. Jill has the videos at her house, so maybe we can see those when she gets back.

It was nice to finally get our castle meal. The girls enjoyed it, and we marked another restaurant/special activity off of our 'to do' list. The food was normal breakfast food, and the French toast was really, really good.
 
Love the matching shirts! I am so excited to see your breakfast review. Since the next trip is just me and my princess we plan to do breakfast at the castle for the first time. I am so excited to finally get to eat in the castle. My daughter also got to pick the hotel and she wants to stay at POP again. She loved it there. I agree with her it is such a great resort for the price. Your trip report is highlighting most of things we are going to do. Thanks for sharing your trips with us.
 
How nice of the server to bring you the free French toast. She looks like the same one we had and I think that's where we sat too. My grandkids don't eat bacon, so I gave them my sausage. Then I decided to ask her if we could get some more. She brought us a whole plate full, maybe 10-12 sausages. I don't even think they ate them all, but they sure were excited to get them.:thumbsup2
 
I don't really like cream cheese but my daughter loves it. so nice of the cm to give it to you for free...and how did it taste?

never mind i didn't finish reading........
 
That cream cheese french toast looks sooooo good!!! We have never eaten there but seeing that makes me want to. And you got it free!:thumbsup2

We finally see Claire smiling in one of the pictures.:)

Aw the server holding Sophie.:goodvibes

The matching shirts are so cute!!
 
The matching shirts are adorable! Breakfast looks yummy....I think it is different than when we ate there. I don't remember having choices, just standard breakfast fare. Could be my memory is going. Lol! It's been a few years...
The girls look thrilled to be there!
 
In just over a week we are going to be eating dinner at the castle. :cool1: I hope Aubree is one of those kids that like the different characters. princess:
 
It really is pretty and cool to eat in the castle, isn't it?? I doubt we'd do it again, but it was fun to do once!

I also love the matching shirts! Did you guys make them or hire that job out?

Poor Claire - just so sad to be unhappy at WDW! I'm sure Bella was wondering what was wrong with her?

Nice pixie dust on the french toast. I'm pretty sure that's what I had. Skipped right over that "healthy breakfast" option!
 
There should be more pictures of Jasmine! :lmao::lmao:

;)

This made me laugh. I was thinking, how can I talk DH into eating in the Castle....Jasmine might do it. :rotfl:

But seriously, that cream cheese french toast looks yummy! Everyone should get to eat in a castle once. :goodvibes
