Good luck with your planting. I know this must be a very busy time of year.
It is. But quite frankly, the time I've taken off work has been HUGE. We've really gotten a lot done. We're moving at record speed this year. Still a lot to do, but I'm almost done doing tillage work for corn that needs to be planted. We could possibly have all the corn at least planted within a few days!
OMG to the your phone. I totally got the visual of it flying up in the air and flipping over and over and over and...... OOPS! So I'm thinking there is probably nothing worse than hearing a call or text come in and not being able to answer it.
Yeah. I was hitting all kinds of combinations of the physical buttons on the outside of the phone hoping I'd unlock some kind of secret combination to let me answer it. It didn't work.
I love all the PP pictures of the kids again. I also loved seeing Toontown because, honestly, I sort of miss it.
Yeah, I do too. I kind of prefer what replaced it, but it is kind of odd that Mickey doesn't even have a home in the park that was essentially built because of/for him!
I have heard repeatedly that Space Mountain is better at DL. I really want to try it.
It definitely is! So much smoother and just an all around better experience!
And BTMMR - not matter what the version - its like you said - its BTMMR - what's not to LOVE!
Exactly!
Happy belated birthday to your DD! A princess dress that sings...that has to be fun to have around.
Thanks! Yeah... I don't know who ever thought a dress needs to sing. Obviously not a parent.
Baseball! That's a rite of passage for any boy. I grew up with both my brothers playing, and I can't imagine springs where you didn't go to games. Your pictures made me excited for my DS to get old enough to start playing.
It is fun watching him play. I grew up playing every summer so it is fun to be able to work with him and watch him play. Even if he's going to stand at third base, watching something in right field and get hit in the foot with a ground ball that he never saw coming.
Yes, that happened in a game.
Wow, no Fastpasses in Fantasyland? That has to be a madhouse during really busy seasons. Sounds like PP at DL is even worse than WDW's version in terms of waiting.
Without a doubt. Especially considering the new queue at WDW.
An outside loading dock for Small World?! I had to look closely at your picture, at first, becaue I thought that's what it looked like, but I couldn't believe it.
It was kind of shocking for me too! I mean you wouldn't imagine them ever having and indoor attraction with a queue and loading area in the elements at WDW!
Some of the differences between the two parks are incredible.
I know it isn't necessarily fair to compare every little detail, but I'm just trying to mention some of the things that really stood out to me after all my visits to WDW.
Look at all the characters just hanging out around Toontown. That had to be really cool.
The really cool thing is that characters just hang around in DL in general. Yes, you've got toons in Toontown, but one day Cinderella was standing just inside the turnstiles at the park entrance. We'd see Aurora on a pathway near the castle from time to time. They just seem to randomly pop out. And aside from A&E and Olaf, they might have a line gather, but it didn't seem to be too crazy.
Goofy is pretty tall, so I can see how your DD was aprehensive of him.
True. Although she did fine with him by the time we left WDW!
By the way, your shirt is awesome! So many cool things happening on it at once.
Thank you! I couldn't resist. I mean Astro Orbiter isn't necessarily my favorite ride. Maybe a BTMRR car instead would really set it off the charts in awesomeness. But in any case, I'm happy with my choice.
Your phone! Oh no! The cracked screen of death. (I cracked 2 screens in 2 weeks last month. Thankfully, I had a glass protector on it that the company gave me free replacements on, but still, I understand your pain very well.)
I was telling another DISer that had phone issues on her trip that being in the parks has to be the worst time to have your phone break. The place is so big and so crowded that you just have to rely on luck to meet back up with the other members of your party.
I know! Of course it has to happen when we are separated as well! If she had been trying to call and tell me they'd moved on to somewhere else, I don't know what I'd do.
But man...first your DS gets sick, then you get that unique room view, then RSR is down both mornings, your view of Fantasmic was obscured, and then your phone breaks. When it rains, it pours for you.
We definitely had our share of bad luck. Yet I've got nothing but fond memories of the park and our trip. Just goes to show how the fun times and memories offset the bad.
So frustrating when you get hit with curve balls like this.
Ouch sorry to hear. Hope things get figured out soon!
Thankfully we did. And we've managed to really get a lot done at the end of last week and the 3 days I took off this week. I won't have to work nearly as many late nights as usual after getting as much done during my 3 days off as I did.
