SOOZE's Summer Fling-Mostly PICS! Update 11/15 p.7 LINK TO NEW PTR!

[timandlesley]

Wow Sooze, I am LOVING this, the updates are so fast and furious it's like reading a great book. Love all the pics. Could Shaelyn BE any cuter!?! The pic with her and Pooh is adorable!!! I've never been to Rafiki's and probably never will so thanks for the pics. Glad to hear you liked the Wave, do you remember what you had? Their menu just doesn't appeal to us but staying at the Contemporary later this week I didn't want to rule it out. Teacups AGAIN, huh : ) Man that line was KILLER for the cars, YIKES.
Can't wait for more, what a fun little TR this is!!! Thanks!

Great pictures! It looks like you had a lot of fun.

Those cream cheese pretzels are really good. I got to see the Main Street performers for the first time on our trip in August. That's cool how the one lady "flirted" with Tyson.

Can't wait to see more.

Ugh.. I am craving one of those pretzels in a serious way right now! So yummy!

Did you like the Main Street show? I just loved it.. so quaint and Disney-esque. We are going to make sure we see it on every trip now!

Joining in!

Now going back to read

Welcome!! Glad you're here!

It's very unlike me, isn't it?! I am inspired by you and Diane, who just whipped out those LONG TRs in no time! I'm hoping to actually get this whole thing done this weekend (fall break) so I can start getting ready for our Anniversary trip!

Honestly, I have no idea what I had... I took no notes, and no pics of the food. I was a bad TR writer! I just remember being pleasantly surprised.. and if we were able to find stuff that Matt would eat, I'm sure you guys will have no problem!

Yeah.. I can't believe we waited in such a long line for that ride, but the kids had a ball... Tyson can actually drive now, and is willing to do so.. so he especially loved it!

Oh, that sounds like a good idea! I'll do a little recap of the places we visited on the way down!

I bet Parker will love them! When Shae was smaller, we just rode the cups without spinning. Fun times!

 

[renegade7]

Oh, I hope they haven't removed the flat bread from that menu... I am looking forward to more at the end of November!

I am on the fence - I maybe spend Thanksgiving there - would be fun if we overlapped - would be staying with my cousin.

BTW - those pictures of the teacups brough back great memories. Not sure when, but I was still in high school school and dad rode them with me. He was literally green when we got off. I went on them sometime either in college or right after and I had one heck of a time. (I could just hear comments of see, I told you they would not be as much fun when you get older and your eyes are not as good.) I went on them again this year at DL and it was not too bad, granted I did not add too much extra spin.

Too bad about DCI Orlando - this year was pretty rough on the east coast for shows. I was happy that we had great weather for DCA championships in Rochester over labor day.

Tea Cups AGAIN! wow! stomach and equilibrium of steel.

Hey girl! Glad you found me... not that I promote my TRs on Facebook or anything...

We arrive on the 29 (Sunday after Thanksgiving) and leave December 2. Just a quick anniversary getaway! That'd be cool if we could run into you. I think 3 other families we know are going to be there on that same week! Crazy!

Tea Cups AGAIN! wow! stomach and equilibrium of steel.

I know, right?

 

[Sooze]

So here they are: The good, the bad, and the ugly... and then a REALLY good one of Alice! All taken by Shaelyn, who had a BALL!!!

Enjoy....

No lie.. a 3-year-old!

My favorite... I don't think I've ever gotten a shot this good from Spectro!

And, last but not least, the rope-winders at the end of the parade. We always make sure to cheer for them extra loud!

We rode a few more rides after the parade.. including Shae on the Barnstormer!! (Which she rode without argument or tears, but was pretty adamant about not riding again!)

Next up... Barber shop, rain, confetti, and fairies!!

 

[jordanyosh]

Those pix aren't half bad..good job Shae!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

you have a budding photographer on your hands

i say next trip you only allow the kids to take the pictures, that would make an interesting TR.


all pictures would be butt height

 

[praisehisname]

Loving the report so far! I can't believe how well Shae's pictures turned out!

Denise

 

[Native NYer]

The Spectro photos are great

 

[micandminforever]

I think Shaelyn did a great job on the pictures. My favorites were the Minnie picture and the one of dwarf that followed it.

 

[belle8306]

I am enjoying your report. Shaelynns Spectro pictures turned out better than mine!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Here's another to Miss Shae for those fantastic Spectro pics. Just give me some music and I would think that I was sitting right on the curb watching the magic.

I LOVE your spinning Tea Cup photos. Is that just done while you are spinning? Any special setting? I really want to try for one, they are so fun!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Wow!! Great job Shae!!!!! Those pictures were fantastic! What kind of camera do you have? I end up missing a lot of shots at night because mine is just so darn slow!

 

[Sooze]

It's hilarious! I've tried so hard to get shots that good!

Dan, you and your great ideas! I love it! Tyson DOES have a digital camera, we just forget about it!! We are definitely bringing it next trip.... he and Shae can contribute to my TR... it'll be a blast!

Loving the report so far! I can't believe how well Shae's pictures turned out!

Denise

Thanks! I was pleasantly surprised too! Of course, I didn't post them ALL... there were quite a few blurry specimens!

The Spectro photos are great

I will tell Shae she's got some fans!

Just perfect from a little one's perspective, eh?
Thanks!

Ha ha!! Me too!!

I have a basic point and shoot camera (Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ3 to be exact) I think it just took what it took! No tricks here!

Wow!! Great job Shae!!!!! Those pictures were fantastic! What kind of camera do you have? I end up missing a lot of shots at night because mine is just so darn slow!

See above! I really did nothing with it.. it has special nighttime/firework settings.. but we never use them

 

[Sooze]

We just couldn't seem to get enough of Magic Kingdom on this trip Kinda weird!

We did start this day at Epcot, but didn't take a single picture... so on to the afternoon!

We took our favorite Disney ride, the monorail, BACK over to Magic Kingdom:

LOVE THIS!!

We were heading back to MK to get the boys haircuts at the Barber Shop. We've never done this before, and last time we went, we came too late! So we decided to make sure it happened this trip.

The Shop was SUPER crowded.. so Shae and I waited outside for a bit.

There were little Mickey confetti heads all over the place (which obviously fell out of people's hair as they left the shop) so Shae and I had fun sticking them to our sweaty faces!

Shaelyn.. dancing in front of the Barber Shop:

We got tired of waiting and decided to go somewhere else and catch up with the boys later. But this kept us in our spot:

It was a COMPLETE Florida/Monsoon downpour.. which lasted about 2.4 minutes. Then when it left, it was about 300 degrees hotter!!

Where did we go? Off to Pixie Hollow! Last time we were here, we waited over an hour and a half to get in. This time was only 45 minutes.. not too bad....

Look, I'm shrinking!

The CM made Shaelyn flap her fairy wings to get into Pixie Hollow!

Fawn came right on over to get Shae:

Everyone, all together now.... AWWWWWWWW!!

Talking with Tink:

Tink was admiring the 'rainbows' on Shae's shirt:

Time for autographs:

Another adorable hug:

And look... it's ME! What's that about?

Next up, Sivermist... and that annoying strand of hair:

Last one!

Shae and I enjoyed a little snack:

Then we all went home to get ready for our dinner in the castle! Come back for some great pictures of Cindy and Shae!

 

[praisehisname]

Aw, such cute photos of Shae and the fairies!!! Do we get to see photos of the boys' haircuts?

Denise

 

[micandminforever]

I would like to see the boys' haircut also.
