Someone pinch me,this trip must have been a dream UPDATED 7/9/10 Boats at the Poly

I can't believe I've missed your TR!! Here is my obnoxiously long running commentary on the TR so far (I've made it through the end of MK day):

You people and your fake Disney haters! Don't you know a Disney hater NEVER wants to go to Disney?
LOL...I know, he isn't a real hater....he in a way is a Disney World hater, because he doesn't like crowds or heat, in general he likes Disney (he is excited to go on a Disney Cruise)
Oh no! Taylor announcing that you're going to crash!
I thought it was funny, other passengers did not!
I love that you say she "needed" 3 pettiskirts. I love it! I'm laughing imagining trying to fit the 3 of you (you, Taylor, and the pettiskirt) in a tiny airplane bathroom. You should know that it was a NEED not a want....certain outfits required it...at least I kept it to 3 colors...she could have needed like 25....1 for each outfit!

No comment on breaking the seat belt law *ahem*I broke no law, it is my sister who is the criminal

How weird they were playing Madagascar at a Disney hotel! I've never seen pictures of Shades of Green. It looks really pretty! For the price it is a great resort, it costs less then the values but has big rooms and a great location, it doesn't have much Disney theming, but it is relaxing

So....do they delouse those helmets between uses? They make my head itch just to look at them! Sort of.... There are 2 pieces to the helmet, one that straps to your head, which wasn't being reused, I am assuming so they could clean them, but I didn't put it on my head so I wasn't as worried , The big piece pulls down and connects to the piece that touches you, it wasn't gettinf cleaned

Disney Quest looks like so much fun!

Leslie did a wonderful job on the Tremaines outfit! She really did, I loved it, and it was what made me want to learn how to sew.... I wanted 24 more outfits, but Dee would have killed me if I spent like 8 grand on clothes for the trip. I aspire to be that good some day....thanks to your awesome machine designs my outfits came out pretty good for a beginner...I can't imagine doing it by hand like that though...thankfully I had you to digitize everything I needed!!!

Wow, what a magical experience at 1900 Park Fare! That is awesome! It really was awesome....hopefully I can put up the video soon, Marah is being wonderful and trying to flip it for me! I don't know how I ever lived without her

Finally, a picture of you in your "ugly cutie" shirt! You all look so cute! Oh yeah.... I meant to tell you.... I tried to upload "customer appreciation" pics to etsy, but it kept timing out and wouldn't load. If you ever want a picture of anything to use, feel free to swipe it or let me know and I can email you whichever you want

I love Taylor's work dress!

A smiling FGIT! I'm so jealous! I remember reading about yours.... I think that is why I felt that much more excited to have a super friendly one who made the experience special for Taylor

You were Miss Teen West Virginia? I'm impressed! Thanks.... long time ago, well I still looked like it pre-Taylor....I started dieting and running again after we got back, my goal is to look a lot closer to that size before we go again next year....so I will like the pictures of me

Taylor looks beautiful after BBB! Awwww!!!! Thanks!

Our photo sessions at Exposition Hall were awful, too. They managed to make my pretty little girl look just about homely. I should have known better then to not go with her to get them made after I read your TR.... I don't know how they took so many bad pictures of her with such a bad smile.....even her cheesy fake smile is better then what they got out of her, she just looked ackward....I will post some pictures when my CD comes. I was seriously shocked though, Taylor is usually a photographers dream because she poses so easily and loves getting her picture made, I don't know what they did to her, but she has never had bad portraits made and I still take her like every 3 months

Tessa has very similar light up Skechers! Really? Taylor liked them, sure they didn't match anything, but they were good to throw on when she was gonna be standing a little while.

I love the carousel pictures!

I love the picture of Dee and Taylor on the Jungle Cruise where she's holding onto his finger.I love pictures like that of the 2 of them... I made a birthday video for him (his bday was last Sunday), and used all the sweet pictures of them together at Disney World....which made me realize I had a lot of pictures like that YAY! The video was 8 mins long and nothing but pictures from the trip of the 2 of them together

I hope she wears her beautiful birthday girl dress!

I've never seen Abu in the parks! How cool!

Yay! She did wear her birthday dress. Yeah... I HAD to get it on her, I never thought she would last so long in the itchy Cinderella dress..... I am still a little bummed she didn't get to wear it until after dark.

I just love the pictures of Taylor and Dee! They make me all teary-eyed.

Taylor did great on her first roller coaster! I was glad she liked it, she usually does like scarier stuff, and I was glad to know she would go on bigger rides with Dee and I. Now we just need to get her tall enough for E.E. and R.R.

Glad you were able to join!

Morgan looks just like Aurora, only cuter! That other aurora is a little weird around the eyes if ya ask me. There's bright eyed, and then there's deer in headlights...

aglad ya had fun on primevil whirl; im too chicken to try it because I get nauseous just looking at it LOL. I think Taylor and Momo look really sweet in their matching outfits. And sorry about the situation with your mom. It's hard to have those kind of conversations, but I think you did the right think having it. Did everything blow over ok with y'all?

 

[Mickey_Mom]

I'm caught up again! I'll be miffed if the rules changed and Rainforest was covered on the day you (we) were there. I'd wanted to have dinner there on the same day but it would have been OOP so we didn't go. Did you notice anyone paying with their KTTW cards?

Fun pictures and I agree, Aunt Momo can wear whatever the flip she wants! I'd do it too if I looked like her! I love that she matches Taylor.

Hope your hand is better!

 

[emcreative]

I emailed it to you, let me know if it works. As soon as I can get Taylor to bed I will be writting more.

I didn't get it (even checked the spam folder). Try one more time?

 

[WDWAtLast]

I hope thing got smoothed out with your mom quickly! We had a similar incident on a family trip a few years back - since then our extended family trips have to be 3-4 days or less!!! And at least you got Taylor to wear her birthday dress - my oldest would not wear the patchwork twirl skirt at Disney. So not only was I bummed that she wouldn't wear it there, but also how much room it took up in the suitcase!!!

SO cute!!!!

 

[DisneyKings]

DH thinks they are Sandhill Cranes (or Whooping Cranes)

 

[ZeroToHero]

Those birds are HUGE!!! I would have been scared to turn my back to them too!

And I love the picture of Taylor making the funny face with Mickey, I started laughing out out when I saw it.

 

[mirandag819]

Okay I got the video from 1900 Park Fare finished....the stepsisters sing at the end. Sorry quality isn't great, next year I will be taking a video camera!

[Mickey_Mom]

Wonderful video! The song from the Stepsisters was definately a hoot!

 

[Sapper383]

Sounds like you had a fab trip
Love the video, the step sisters are great.

We have an ADR for 1900 for the 18th Sept, my DD4 has an anistasia dress to wear, she can't wait....oh, but neither can I

How cute is that!!! And you probably will gasp in amazement to know that my singing voice is comparable to Drizella and Anastasia

My dh actually ran in from the screened in porch to see if our kids were killing each other -- he thought they were screaming

 

[ZeroToHero]

Wow, to think I could actually get paid just to sing like I usually do and dress up - I wonder if they need a new Drizella! I'm sure your voice gives out after a while of doing that.

Adorable video - what program did you use to do all those cool color things?

 

[Ciciwoowoo]

I think I'm reading this trippie now for the wardrobe changes!

Kidding, of course...I love reading about your adventures!

HAHA I know that would be a fun job.... I don't think they sing very often
(the character handler said it was something the normally don't do, but since Taylor was dressed and had the cake and it was her birthday they wanted to sing)....they may sing often and she may have just said that though.

I used Windows Movie Maker, I liked the color changing effect... I thought it was cool.... it only had the one color choice, but the colors worked good with their outfits I thought.

You will love Hollywood Studios day then... she changed 4 times! So stay tuned... there were 25 customs in total...we will see how many she actually got to wear.

[Rebecuberduber]

Oh no! I'm so sorry she didn't get to wear the Chef Mickey's dress. That is a shame. And you didn't even get in on the extra sleep. That's a crying shame, as well. I hope the rest of the day turns out lovely! I love Taylor's swim cover-up dress. Looking forwad to the rest...

 

[WDWAtLast]

Love the video!!! And I am sorry that no one would get up for Chef Mickey's! By the end of our trip, even my early rising family didnt want to get up early anymore! Typhoon Lagoon looks fun - we didn't make it to any waters parks this year - but hope to next time!
