Strollering Along At The World (Finally!)- A PTR (Feb '12)*TR Started 2/12*

[Tat2ddisneymom]

and we test drove almost every light weight stroller they had on display. DH tried them and we tested his stride with all of them and the height of the handle for him and how each one folded.

Y'all are some SERIOUS stroller shoppers!

Oh and guess what!! I FINALLY have a reason to order the UG to WDW with KIDS!!! I never thought I'd have a reason to get the with kids version of the UG so I'm super excited to get that as well!!

I TOTALLY understand your excitement! I'm so glad you're finally able to use one!

Ahh, that wasn't so bad, thanks to your handy dandy links! Thanks!

 

[cherbear]

ah poop..I can't watch the stroller video right now b/c I'm at work. Silly me, I don't know what other video site I thought it would be. LOL

I love all the ADR plans, and the down days sound perfect. You will have a great time!!!

 

[Leger13]

I must catch up with your trip report. At 31 pages, I could be here awhile. At any rate, I'm bookmarking in case I don't get it done.

Oh and great job catching up girl!! Glad to see you here!

Those are VERY cute! I need to get me some comfy shoes. It doesn't matter if I'm walking around Disney World or at work, my feet hurt in EVERYTHING! I even bought those god awful crocs. They're not all they're cracked up to be. I mean, they're okay, but not wonderful, you know?

Thank you! The Keds aren't all that comfortable. They're nice that they don't squeeze my feet though. Other than that they're not very cushy. Now my Brookes sneakers I got are HEAVENLY!!! You should check those out. They're expensive but they were worth every single cent. I'm definitely taking them to Disney with us. I did get some crocks too and they're okay I suppose but not what everyone raves about. I don't know if I will wear them at Disney or not

Chris won't ride Soarin? Not even the bottom row? What is up with these big, burly, strong men who won't get on the "scary" rides?

Nope, not even on the bottom row. I've tried to get him on it numerous times and he refuses. I don't get why big burly men are scared of these rides either. Soarin isn't even scary!! He did agree to try BTMRR but it'll be closed while we're there this time.

Y'all are some SERIOUS stroller shoppers!



I TOTALLY understand your excitement! I'm so glad you're finally able to use one!

yeah....I'm serious about any major purchase I make. I do a ton of research on whatever the product is and then have to make sure I get the best price.

Aww thanks!!

I'm excited about the new restaurants we're trying this time. There are a few we have to hit every time but I really enjoy trying new ones.

Glad my links helped you out and you didn't have to shuffle through all the "we're going we're not going" crap I went through

ah poop..I can't watch the stroller video right now b/c I'm at work. Silly me, I don't know what other video site I thought it would be. LOL

Try this link. It's on the Britax web site so hopefully this will work for ya

That is a cool stroller.

Thank you! I can't wait to get it and try it out

Oh I'll bet.

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

I kinda miss having a stroller ~ such a great place to put all your stuff!

I am just SICK over BTMRR being closed while we are there.

Oh and Carla, I wonder if videos on you tube would help Alex be a little prepared? Maybe talk about BIG Mickey and BIG Minnie, etc. I don't know if it would help but it might be fun.

Did his shoes come yet?

Yeah it definitely is!! I LOVE having a stroller at the mall. Don't have to lug around bags of crap from store to store.

Aww I'm sorry BTMRR is closed it doesn't really have an affect on me since I've only ridden it a hand full of times anyways. I doubt I would have been able to ride it this time anyways.

Hmm that's a good idea. I'll definitely try it. I'm hoping that since he sees Mickey and all the others on our huge TV every day that it won't freak him out. He actually prefers the bigger Mickey plushes. I tried to get him a small one and he wanted nothing to do with it but he took right to the one that was his size. I think I'm going to take him to the Disney store and show him the life size plushes too. The thing that might freak him out is seeing Mickey moving on his own but he sees him moving around on MMCH every day. There's just no telling how he will react

No they haven't. But they were shipped. It says estimated delivery is Fri - Monday this weekend so I guess I'll have them by Monday at the latest. My stroller and everything else was shipped too. I don't know if he will be walking before we go on our trip. He only has 4 weeks to get more confidence. We're working with him but to no avail.

For some strange reason whenever I see the title of your trip report I think of this song.

 

[Leger13]

Oh my goodness!! I've never heard that song before! It must be a DL thing. I LOVE it!! That's definitely a great theme song for this PTR 'cause I probably will be walking down the middle of main street singing and dancing like that

Oh my gosh!! It comes from this Disney Sing Along. We had it in VCR tape form until my kids wore it out from watching it so many times. I am going to get it in DVD form. I love it.

Do you have the WDW ones? They are like $8 right now from the Disney movie club. They are great fun for kids.

No I don't! Thanks I'll have to check that out

 

[kaoden39]

No I don't! Thanks I'll have to check that out

The WDW ones that I know are one about the Wilderness Lodge area and Flick taking you through the Animal Kingdom.


Here's a video to show Alex with characters. Also from the Disneyland Fun video.

I love that song. It is on one of my disney world cds

Oh, so he's being sneaky! He probably looked up what would be under refurb and said, "Yeah, I'll try that," knowing that he wouldn't have to. Wait until the next time I see him. I have every intention of harassing him. Unless he's in the same mood he was last time I saw him. Then I'll stay FAR away!

Yep!

I must not be the Disney fans you girls are because I was HIGHLY irritated and had to turn it off.

Awesome. I'll definitely show that to Alex. Thanks!

yeah that's a possibility. Ugh that mood! I was so embarrassed (and still am). Hopefully next time we do get to meet up he's in a better mood. What a jerk he was that day!
