Thank you so much! They are pretty cute! And you know how CRAZY the board has been lately. You might have, but they could have thrown it somewhere else!

So our “next” day at Disney will be Magic Kingdom again! This day is EARLY EMHs and from what I have heard, those tend to be fairly empty. We are an early riser type family, so I’m pretty sure that getting out to the bus by 7:30 won’t be a problem.

I’m looking forward to exploring some other parts of the park rather than just Fantasyland. I really want to try a Dole Whip as well! I still can’t believe that I didn’t get one on our last trip! I wanted one soooo badly! Silly me not making it a priority! I mean, so what if it was one of the coldest Decembers in recent history!

As for rides that I want to focus on this trip, I want to go on the Jungle Cruise! I have never been on this ride, so it is on my “Must Do!” list. I also want to ride Space Mountain- even though, I know it will be a “ride swap” thing, or honestly- a single rider thing. Corey isn’t really into rollercoasters, so he may or may not even want to try it. I’ll let him take the girls to the Magic Carpets or some show in that area!

I have a weak spot for the Tiki Room! I MUST see the new show!

Now as for eating while at MK. I’m debating on making a Crystal Palace ressie. I wouldn’t need an early one, since we’ll be in the park anyway, so we may do a late breakfast/early lunch. None of us care much for Pooh, but I have heard the food is amazing. ( Now if we were going in November, then we will HAVE to do Be Our Guest! ) As for Quick Service that we’d like to eat- I know we all loved Casey’s, but I want to try the Pecos Bill’s! I’ve heard good things about Pecos with the burger bar!

I like CP. We've had good dinners there.

You must do Jungle cruise...once in the day and once at night. I love the night cruises. In fact I can't remember when I rode it in the day time last. It's been awhile.

Maybe if you get to Magic Kingdom early enough, you can be the family of the day... That would be so cool!!! The park opening is really cute...

We love CP - But we also love Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and the gang! They are so cute and so friendly and they interact with the kids. Plus the food is perfect! Lots of things to eat.

Have you thought about going over to Tom Sawyer's Island and let the girls search for the paint brushes. We've never done this but I've seen really cute pictures of kids doing this and loving it. Now, As I'm typing this and asking my DH about it, he thinks that they may not have this anymore. But IDK It would be something to check out plus it looks like something fun for little ones.

I still have my fingers cross that everything is going to work out for you guys!!!
Sending lots of your way

YES! I forgot about Tom Sawyer Island. I'm not sure about the paintbrush finding, but we will go over there and explore for sure! Thanks for the Pixie Dust!!!!

Just to share these beauties!!!!

Too cute. Those are really awesome shots.
The 3rd pic won't show up for me...not sure if it's just me or not. I get that sometimes in IE.
Any word on the job front?

Nope. Actually the one that we were really hoping for, seems to have passed on Corey. He is actively applying to several other positions. He has heard from several coworkers that they are trying to help build up support for him to stay here. I don't know. I'm emotionally checked out in a way, but if they are willing to keep us here fulltime, then we will stay, you know? I'd rather just move on…
