[Lovemy3babes]

Hey Meghan!! I cannot wait to read all about the trip. Fun, fun times!! Looks like an early but great start so far.

I talked to Tonia on Friday. She was so stoked to be going. It sounds like you got her some great dining choices. I might actually have another friend to send your way. Can you send me a FB message with your contact info again? Thanks!

Happy Birthday to Madison Hope you guys had a great day!!!

Sounds like you are off to a great start! We have 2 more sleeps till our trip...we will also be on that super early (6:15am) flight out...I'm hoping we will not have a rowdy group in line with us. I'll have some catching up to do when I get back

That is awesome! She seemed very excited through her emails and I'm very excited for her! She didn't let me know her dining choices until about a week or so before they left! I did what I could. I will definately send you my contact info on FB.

How exciting! I hope you don't have to deal with all the noise that we dealt with.

Yes, planning ahead was definitely not the name of her game. Ha!

Got the info. Sent it to someone I know, semi well. Her name is Krystal.

She did tell me they were a very laid back family. I hope they're having a great time!

Thank you SO much!

Our flight was very uneventful. Tony slept most of the way, Madison did some school work & played her DS and I listened to my ipod and read "Mousejunkies". As we started to make our descent, Madison's ears really starting hurting her. I didn't have any gum (since I have braces) so there was nothing to help her. I felt so bad!!! Before long, we were on the ground and we got to see my favorite sight...PALM TREES!

Once we exited the plane, we used the bathroom and put our contacts in. We then headed down to ME. There was no line and we got right on a bus. Score! We were seated on our ME bus by 9:15am (we landed a bit early).

We shared an ME bus with AKL and CBR and we had 3rd row seats. Nice! I was really hoping to snap a good shot of the Welcome Sign. We finally got moving around 9:27am. Our driver, David, informed us we would be stopping at AKL first, then Pop. Woohoo!

We drove under the Welcome Sign around 9:50am. Here are some pics:

I was so glad to finally be back on Disney property and we would be there for the entire week. I had to text Kristen to let her know we were here! We dropped one family off at AKL. ONE! It was a family of 4 and they had taken up the front row of seats and one of the seats in the 2nd row. So ridiculous. It was a nice quick stop at AKL and pretty soon we were on our way to Pop.

We arrived at Pop around 10:10am. There was no line for online check-in, all of our requests had been granted (room not ready yet) and we were all done checking in by 10:22am. We were starving so we got organized, dropped off our carry-ons with luggage services and went to DTD.

On our way to the bus stop, we saw our first love bugs. GROSS!!! We noticed there were lots of packed bus stops. We didn't have to wait long because a DTD bus pulled up right around 10:35am. We stopped at Typhoon Lagoon first and we arrived at DTD at 11am.

We decided to go to EOS for lunch...we had never eaten there before and I had heard so many great things about it. It was AMAZING!! Tony got the Original, bottled water and chocolate pudding. Madison had the kids grilled cheese, chocolate milk and pudding. I had the Hawaiian BBQ sandwich, Earl's lemonade and a brownie.

SO GOOD!!!

After our delicious lunch we decided to do some shopping (of course!). We went to Once Upon a Toy and Madison picked out some Star Wars Mr. Potato Head pieces. I am pretty awesome at fitting all those pieces in those small boxes. Afterwards, Madison built her own Light Sabre! She was very excited about doing that. We then headed to Tren-D to look for some flip flops I saw on another TR. They didn't have my size. We made a quick stop in Basin (didn't buy anything) and then it was time for WoD!!!!

We went nuts in there! I bought myself a Mr. Pricklepants stuffed animal (he's sitting on my graduation Mickey ears in my office), a Minnie Mouse pen, Tink silly bandz for Maddie, postcards, a scrapbook kit w/2010 stuff for me, sunglasses for Tony (remember, we left his at home) and a Halloween Mickey head bracelet for myself. Oh yeah...there was one more thing.

A Baby Pooh stuffed animal for Madison's new little brother/sister!!!!

That's right folks. I'm pregnant!!! We found out the Sunday before we left for Disney!!!! So, needless to say, I didn't get to go on a lot of my favorite rides. We only told our parents, siblings and Madison before we left for vacation (ok, a few others too). I just didn't want the word to spread on FB. We're going to a wedding tonight and a lot of my former teammates will be there (it's a wedding for a former teammate). So, I'll be telling all of my friends tonight. I went to my first doctor appt yesterday and the due date is May 27, 2011.

Ok, time to get back on track. After our big shopping trip, we stopped in Ghiardelli and got samples of pumpkin spice caramel chocolates. Delish! We then stopped at Mickey's Mart and Madison bought a pirate sword (she bought one last year but it broke) and a new pressed penny book. We headed back to the bus stop around 1:15pm. Pop had sent me a text at 12:45pm letting me know our room was ready. Hooray!!!

Up Next-Checking out our room & AK EMH

I'm ready to plan another trip right now, but sadly, I don't think we'll be going back next year. However, 2012 will be our 10 year wedding anniversary AND my 30th birthday! How fun!

My friends are going to flip out! Two of them already know (I just HAD to tell someone!) but I'm so excited to tell everyone else.

That's when we'll probably go back, again, too!!!! We'll need to coordinate!! What a perfect way to celebrate your 30th and your anniversary!

 

[lexmas]

Hooray! I was hoping when you weren't around disboards much lately that you were just busy dealing with the first trimester, but I didn't want to ask! Congratulations!

It would be SO much fun to go at the same time again! Disney is the perfect place to celebrate.

I haven't been on the boards much this past week because my MIL and SIL were staying with us. I dropped them off at the airport this morning. We had fun time visiting, it just didn't give me a lot of computer time. I haven't been sick at all (knock on wood) and I feel great! I was super sick with Madison for the first few months so I'm hoping it will different this time. We're very excited! And as some like to say, it's about time!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]
