I am anxious to read about your Disney dream trip!

 

[reyasmommy]

I'm excited to hear about your trip!

Your daughter is absolutely adorable! I love that picture of her!

I couldn't imagine what it would be like to go to WDW with someone that is Bipolar and not on meds!! I myself am Bipolar and 24 weeks pregnant. I haven't been on my medication since I found out I was pregnant and am not the most pleasant person to be around some days! My poor daughter and husband... The combination of pregnancy hormones and not being on my meds is NOT pretty! Luckily when we go on our trip in March I'll be back on it! My husband is very thankful for that.

I look forward to hearing more about your trip.

HAHA yeah that is true, and the outfits were such a hit on the trip! I can't wait for you to hear all about the outfit you made though, it was a HUGE deal and I have such a great story about that night coming soon. Feel free to swipe any pictures when I get to that part, or I can email some to you. The outfit really made for the perfect night!

We jumped into the SUV which now had plenty of room for us without our bags and headed on over to DTD. We had 7 PM ADRs at 1900 Park Fare, so we decided to grab a bite to eat and hang out at Disney Quest for a little while. We had never made the time to check it out before, so I was looking forward to it.

We had to activate our military tickets and guest relations, which was super easy and only took a min or two, but in that two mins Taylor had already passed out in her stroller. The child never naps at home, but now she sleeps and we can’t even take the stroller in!

Dee was mean and woke her right up, but she didn’t seem to mind.
Taylor loved the elevator ride up into DQ, the genie thing was pretty neat. She loves Genie (I will explain more of her love for Genie later in the TR).

We grabbed a quick bite to eat at Food Quest while we checked out the map.

After we ate Mom and Taylor headed to Sid’s Create-a-Toy, while Dee, Morgan and me went to Virtual Space Mountain. Morgan and I designed an awesome coaster with lots of inversions, it ended up being a level 5 (the craziest you can get). Dee designed his, but it was a wimpy level 4. We did a rider swap of sorts and I got to ride both Dee’s and mine and Morgan’s in the simulator. Ours was defiantly cooler. The simulator wasn’t as real on hills as it was inversions and Dee picked a lot of big hills. It was still very neat and both Morgan and Dee enjoyed watching us ride while they waited.
We went to find Mom and Taylor, but they were not where we left them, which happens a lot during the trip so thank goodness for cell phones.
We ended up finding them at the virtual jungle cruise. My sister and I got a big kick out of seeing my mom on a “boat”, mom is terrified of water and won’t go near a boat normally.

Dee, Morgan, and I decided to take a turn riding with Taylor since when she got off she said, “I wanna do it again!”

Taylor enjoyed just watching everyone with the Virtual Reality helmets from the top balcony, so we decided to take her to ride the Virtual Magic Carpets.

There was a bit of a wait, but everyone is line was complimenting Taylor’s dress so much, that she and I kinda enjoyed the wait. Several moms asked if I bought it there in DTD, and then went on and on about it when I said I had made it. It was my first real compliment in person about my sewing since I just learned to sew for this trip, so it made me feel very good.

I don’t know what Taylor was doing to Aunt MoMo here:

Taylor was sick of pictures in line, so this was her first of many pictures of her telling me, “No more pictures Mommy” during this trip (you will see this hands up pose a lot)

The helmets were a little tough to fit to Taylor’s tiny head without getting it over her eyes

Dee looked normal in the helmet, I guess I have seen him in the military helmets too much.

I decided just to watch and take pictures while they did the virtual ride since there were only 4 seats together. Here are all of them looking silly in the helmets:

When they were finished Taylor was in a posing mood so we took some pics in front of Jasmine’s castle. Actually we took a lot since she was being a camera cheese, but here are just a few of them.

We waited in another long line for Virtual POTC, and then decided to go ahead and head back to Shades of Green to get ready for our dinner at 1900 Park Fare. Here is Dee while waiting, I am not loving all of his Affliction shirts, I need to learn Photoshop so I can learn how to edit them and make them more Disney like.

Oh my goodness, I am loving all the pictures. I've never seen pictures of Shades of Green either. That place looks cool. Also, we have never been to Disney Quest, that place looks amazing. I need to plan a trip just so I can take DD there....hahahah!!!

Loving all your photos! Can't wait to see 1900 Park Fare!
