a quick update coming up

 

[DisneyLaura]

Hi Dan - I was reading Jordan's Pre-TR and saw that you started one too so I hooped on over here to get caught up. We are staying at FW in December 2010 but we are renting a RV from someone here on the DIS. We are looking into buying a RV this summer or next year to start our own camping adventures as a family. Last summer we went once with the kids and in a tent - the kids loved it. I enjoy camping too but have always been in a tent. Now we get to live in luxury LOL

Chapter 6. Parkers official favorite character.

There is a time in every childs life or every adults life when they pick there favorite character.

I am not sure exactly when mine came, i have always had a love for the duck, i think in part because of his personality he can be grumpy one minute, then turn right to love stuck with his daisy in the blink of an eye.

i love his attitude and his voice and his "donaldness" that just makes him him.

my wife she is a big fan of belle, she loves her dress her story and just everything about her.

note: she just informed me that belle is her favorite, but she considers her real, and not a character that minnie is her favorite "character" because she is so proper, petite and cute.




now i dont really think my parents have chosen there favorite yet, but i will try and get there favorite on this trip.


Parker, he has loved the characters his whole life, on his first trip, he smiled and loved em all, he tried to grab ariels clam shell. got kisses from the princesses, so i could understand if those would turn into his favorite.

but the last week has been very interesting around here, i have been excited and i would say not shocked at his choice of his favorite character.

When he gets in our car, he says this characters name, when he watches disney cartoons he says this characters name.

The name you ask is




Doonnn dooold

that would be donald for those of you who do not speak or understand infant.

me i still speak infant so i get it right away.






the first time i heard him say it i was like huh did he just say what i thought he said hun

she said yep, he says it every time we get in the car and he wants to watch his donald movie.

mickey mouse club house comes on you ask him the names of the characters...and he does not say the names of any of them, you ask him who that is "refering to donald"

and you get doonnn dooold.

just when you think a child can not tug at your heart anymore.

you learn that his favorite character is yours, he gets so excited and runs around the room and dances when he is on.

now i realize that he could change it when he grows up or it could change when we go on our trip, but for now his favorite is that lovable duck and that is okay by me.



so go ahead and let us know what or who your favorite character is.

this update wont have any trivia facts in it, because i want you guys to respond with the question this time.

 

[jordanyosh]

Great story Dan. I did get a little choked up...Hope all is well in jury land.

My favorite character......I should say characters...chip and dale...cuz they're nuts like me. Goofy, crazy, zany and always up for a good time.

 

[GeminiAngel]

Chip off the ole block. So sweet.

 

[pipersmom]

That is very sweet! I don't know who my favorite character is..I'm equal opportunity, I guess. I would have to say the character I'm most like is "Lady" though, from Lady and the Tramp..you know..all sweet and innocent. :

 

[Trentmom]

Good luck with Jury duty this week

That is so sweet he is the same as his dad

My favorite face character is Snow White, because we both have same quiet voice

My favorite regular character is Goofy, because he is well..... Goofy of course

 

[glennbo123]

I'd have to say Goofy, not sure why.

I remember the days when DW and I were the only ones who could understand our infant kids and had to translate. One time my dad asked my son his favorite song and he said, "the whoa whoa song". My dad said, "oh, row row row your boat"? My son said "No!" and broke into Paul McCartney's "My Love" -- "whooaaa whoa whoa whooooa, whooaaa whoa whoa whoooooa, my love does it gooood."

The whoa whoa song...that's awesome!

Favorite character - face character, definitely Belle - she reads, she's French, brunette, what's not to like? (Note - I'm not French, I just harbor a burning desire to move to France some day).

I'm not sure on the non-face character. Probably a cross between Eeyore and Tigger. Does that make me bipolar?

 

[jenjolt]

Awww...how sweet that he loves Donald just like you!! YAY!!!!! That will make for some really cute memories on your next trip!!

Well as far as face characters go my favorite is Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) and my other favorite character would be Goofy...I just love his O'Gosh...and his big shoes!!! He's such a hoot!

 

[All7OfUs]

Don't have a favorite per se, but if we can go with who we are most like it'd have to be: B

Before my coffee in the morning, I'd have to go with Yzma.

After coffee and some DISsing time, Belle- I've got a pretty cool head and can think creatively about finding solutions to tough spots.

While homeschooling the kids??: Dutchess from Aristocats. She was very diligent in the training of her children. That was her life.

While making dinner: Snow White. Ask my family; I like to whistle while I work.

After dinner until 12 or so (bed): Jacques the shrimp from Nemo's tank. He liked to hide in his hole a lot and catch up on the cleaning- dishes, laundry, etc...

So, can we have more than one??

 

[belle8306]

I guess my screen name says it all: I love Belle! She is smart, she loves to read, she appreciates inner beauty and she is sweet. I think she is a perfect princess. Oh, and her dress is beautiful!

It is cute that Parker likes Donald too! I am sure when he sees him in person he is going to be soooo excited!

 

[*Seanaci*]

That was the most precious story. Made me cry happy tears.

My fav character was/is/always will be Mickey Mouse. My sons favourites are Mickey and Lightening McQueen (biggest 2 year old car freak I've ever seen...he has ALL of the cars and can name them all)!

 

[eandesmom]

Yeah, following GB around after the Cantina or Caseys.

or being next to Jordan after Fondue

Lets just say some things should not be eaten on one's final day.

Oh dear. No thread is safe!

I have always wanted to travel the country in a RV. My cousin did it for 2 1/2 years and saw the entire country except HI.

I would love to RV it at WDW.........but I'd have to rent the RV too so that would defeat the cheaper angle....

There is a couple of folks that rent at the Fort, info on the camping board, it's less than the cabins though more than having your own tent!

evening

thanks everyone

i wont really get into it, but lets just say it is a very interesting case...you think one way in the morning, then another in the afternoon, alot of conflicting information. people are not on the same page.

a quick update coming up

Interesting!

And SO sweet about Donald!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm with your wife. Belle is the Bomb!

 

[Millie12591]

Dan, your story about Parkers favorite...well, it made me mist up. It's so sweet.

Liesa.... I love it! I love that you have different one's, I too have different one's but there is only one that really tugs at my heart most. I'll tell that in a sec.

I love seeing everyone's favs. I feel like I've gotten to know people just a little bit better because of it.
Side note: If your looking for a really great game to play, I suggest the game Apples to Apples. It's a great for family and friends, a game where you have to know the audience your playing to in order to guess correctly. It's fun to play with people you don't know well and want to know better, side note over....
OK, favorites....Well, Since I was a little girl I liked Pooh, Piglet and Tigger, and who didn't love Mickey! The pretty Cindy and Aurora, but then what little girl doesn't love themselves a good princess.
Mary Poppins had a place in my heart when I was a young teenager, I realize that sounds funny but you see when I was in Jr. High I came down with Mono , and I was out of school for two months (I was pretty bad for a while). My mom's friend had a VCR (not many people had them then) and brought it over so I could watch movies he would rent for me. I saw both Mary Poppins and Gone With The Wind for the very first time, they were the first movies I had ever seen on a VCR. Mary right then and there became my fav. We ourselves didn't own a VCR until I was in High School.

Once I was officially an adult (I was 18 when Little Mermaid came out) and the new string of Disney movies came out I became a big Ariel fan. Then Pixar came around I fell in love with.....this is hard, to come up with all of these and not confuse your fav movie with your fav characters... if you asked favorite movies.... this would be a whole other
story. Ok, where was I....Crush and Dory, and last but certainly not least...Tinkerbell! She became my favorite the very first time I went to DL (I was 18 years old and was totally in awe of everything Disney from the second I stepped "thru the curtains"). I remember it well...my family and I stood to watch wishes infront of the Castle and I had no idea what I was in for. As the beginning of the show started and I saw Tink Fly across the sky for the first time! I started to cry and thought I would never love anything as much as I loved that moment ever again.

 

[FairyGodmotherJen]

Hi, Dan! Thought I'd come over and attempt to get caught up on your PTR...not quite there yet, but I'm closer!

I did start at the end before I went back to the start, though, and the story about Parker is great!! Will has decided that Mickey is his absolute favorite, which makes DH's day as he's his favorite as well. The other two change daily, I think. I've been partial to the Fairy Godmother since I was her in our high school production of R&H's Cinderella (hence the screen name). She's awfully hard to find on merchandice/souveniers, etc, though.

Good luck with the jury duty...doesn't sound like much fun!

 

[All7OfUs]

Stopping by to say howdy pahd-nuh and see if you had said anything about how jury drudgery is going.

Howdy. How's jury duty going?

 

[Poolrat]

AWWWWW so sweet!!!

My favorite character is Dory. Not that I am like her per say, but my daughter really is like her, shiny objects distract her easily

I love Dory's innocence and willingness to help. But alas , Dory doesn't do meet and greets.

Ariel is another favorite- funny for the same reason. She reminds me of my daughter. When I am in Voyage of the Little Mermaid I actually getty misty during the "part of your World " song.

This part is what gets me

Wanderin' free
Wish I could be
Part of that world

My daughter has always been the quirky one, not really fitting in. Now she has a good circle of friends but in elementary school she was the odd one.
So I guess I equate that song with her wanting to fit in while growing up.

Darn - misty again. Sorry

 

[FairyGodmotherJen]

I've at least read all of the main posts now, and some of the in-between.

I got the same book about Disney - isn't it cool? Lots of fun tidbits. I'm reading Spinning Disney's World right now. It's by a guy who's an official Disney legend - he has a window on Main Street. He covered the Disneyland opening day, went to work for Disney in their PR department, and continued to work through the openings of WDW and all its parks and Disneyland Paris. Really interesting!

BTW, I've come to the conclusion that my little guy's favorite character isn't Mickey anymore, much to my DH's disappointment. It's now Toodles....you know, "OH TOOOOOOODDLLLLEESSS!" from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse? The kid goes nuts now every time it's on the screen.....

Hope jury duty is about over for you by now!
