[disney<333]

O.K Im back the laptops dying and I had to plug it in. Since Amy turned 11 yesterday I decided to upload pics of when they were little

Amy backing away from Wendy

Emily reading the newspaper. Saying bla bla bla. She just sat in her crib and could talk to her dolls saying bla bla bla all day. I'll have to see if I can find a picture of it.

Amy im 99.9 % sure. Only half my brain is turned on right now

I took pictures of the pictures

We took Emily to the magic kingdom at 5 1/2 weeks
I could go on and on with the baby pictures but i'll just leave it at here for NOW that is

 

[disney<333]

Sorry guys I just can't help myself

Emily. I made that dress 3 years before she was born thinking I hope I have a girl to wear this dress.
O.K so where I left of we had just gotten off the dullest safari EVER. All the animals were so far away and wouldn't come near us. Next the hubby wanted to go to Rafikis planet watch but I didn't. So he took Emily and Amy and I went to the lion king. The night before I went to go charge me camera battery and then in the morning when I went to go get it. It WAS NEVER CHARGING So we only have Emily's pictures. We got in to the lion king right when the show was about to start and got back row seats. Which is better then having to wait untill the next show. We were the last ones last in. I forgot what section we were in but had a pretty good view. Now on to Mitch and Emily. As soon as they got in they saw Emily's favorite

They said that when Emily went to take her autograph book out of the bag Amy's fell on the floor. So Jiminey (Is that how you spell it) picked it up and signed it too.
Then they went to the petting area. Mitch let her touch the animals but I wouldn't. Emily told me something that made me crack up. "All the goats were in their roped area and then this little girl said do you want to come out and picked up the rope and then one came out. Next all of them came out. If I were DH I would of grabbed Emily and ran. They could attack. But instead he went up close with her and starting brushing it. By then it was starting to rain so I was glad they had their umbrellas. They took the train back and then got mickey bars and had it by Pooh's area. But didn't see it because they aren't disers and didn't know about it. Being a diser you learn A LOT. Back to us. After Lion king we saw some characters in camp minnie and mickey. We have prints of them but not on the computer. Because Amy took it on her 1 time use camera. I'll have to make Dh scan it. Then we had icecream I don't remember our details from this day. But I remember the rest of the trip like it was yesterday. I only have theres because Mitch wrote it down. If only I was smart like hime. I can't believe I just said that. They got fps for kali and then were going to go on Everest but the ride was broken. . Oh now I remember we went shopping. . Amy got the rainbow mickey bracelet a pin necklace and a minnie pin. And I got a photo album and a Donald pen. Emily and Mitch went on Dinosaur in the 30 minute standyby wait and Me and Amy went on dinosaur Dumbo (That is what we call it.) After that we met up at the giftshop and Emily got this

She loves it and now we are on a search for the MRs on our October trip.
Now we were able to get FPs again so we got 4 for that and then went to go have a late lunch. We went to the dinosaur counter service place. I'm drawing a blank of what its called now. I don't remember what we ordered but it was the best counter of the trip and for sure are going back there.
Then Dh Emily and Amy used the fps for dinosaur. The first time they only gave 2 fps and then Emily and Amy went on again twice. Using 1 each time. I can't believe they got away with it. I went to Nemo And with out the camera
Heres DH waiting in line for dino

Coming up next rest of AK plus date night, Amy's bday marlins game 1st date night and more baby pictures. Also our UPGARDE!!!!

You had some great views from the swan!

We were there once when we ate a dinner at Garden Grove last October.

We have never been on the boardwalk either. I think we need to book more Disney vacations to get to everything in the World!!!!

It looks like you guys were having a great time!

Thank you it was actually the Dolphin. A few years ago we were at the swan and had the best view ever. The tot you could see and hear the people on top screaming!! We ate at garden grove too this trip.
The boardwalk is nice but I think you and Mel would enjoy is much more if you dropped Juliana of at camp dolphin or beach club. Dolphin if you eat at the resort or swan the camps free and they give dinner. More vacations would be nice or moving to orlando We love the boardwalk. Always went over there when we lived in orlando. Nothing like splitting a kitchen sink with loved ones and watching Illuminations.

I'm Backkkk
Hope you guys didn't miss me to much. Things have been crazy the last few days to say the least. Yesterday was Open house for Amy. In 40 minutes I gota take Emily to open house. And then last night we were all going to go to the mall because well um.... The disney store. DUHH!! I love my disney store. Is doesn't have theme park stuff like the everglades mall but it has great stuff. I got 3 shirts last time for 20$ and 2 for Amy for 12$. Also most if our mugs are from there. Last fall they had these black mugs that had a character in rainbow and then a color inside for 4$ so we got all the fab 5. The store has characters hanging down like they have donald and Goofy struggling on a latter. Donald's nephews dropping paint. And then on the t.v they have video from my place. And people saying why it's so magical. O.K well enough about the disney store. So right when we were going to walk out the door Mitch goes in the garage and says the AC is making noise and the floor is all wet. Also he thinks the pipe is leaking. Well we had that same problem a few years ago and it leaded to mold. Which leaded us to go going to Disney for a week and then the local marriet for 2 weeks.. So now pride is coming later. And I had plans to go to the movies with Mitch and our friends. Not anymore because Pride is coming.
Back on track to the TR I left you guys off at dinosaur where the camera battery died. So no more pictures of today just words.

Here are the nov 08 pictures from our Animal Kingdom day

The safari

Our driver was talking so fast you had really no idea what he was saying

You all like the giraffe's but right


I'm sorry I'm leaving you again I have to leave to take Emily to open house at her school and you have to get there half an hour before if you want a parking space and then sit in the hot office. I would rather be here. Later I promise at least up to swimming at the hotel. Also DD's camera has pictures of the walk through AK so i'll upload em now to the computer. Then photobucket. And then we'll be crackn. Have a nice afternoon. And see you tonight!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

sorry I was MIA! but great update so far... sorry about the a/c. our central is out right now...the best part is DH knows how to fix it...but it is so hot and the window units need to be used every once in a great while (we are hoping no hurricanes this year--so this is our excuse to use the window units )so, he plans to fix it in the fall when he can stand to be in the heat!

Catch you later!

 

[dd50]

Great trip report so far. I had 2 kids orientation today also. We were at Disney when they gave out lockers but we couldn't get them tonight either.

I was having problems with my camera on our last trip also. I bought rechargeable batteries but for some reason the camera was still so slow that I didn't get many pictures.

Welcome back!
I'll forgive you this one time. Thank g-d the Ac is fixed they told Emily monday they'll come but I got on the phone and got them to come in half an hour. Where do you live that you have hurricanes. We live in south florida and used to have a couple a season but now haven't had any for a while figures after I get shutters. The heat stinks the other day I invested in a cooler for the trunk and now I have cold water all the time
Have a good night

Thank you! I'm glad your enjoying it What grades are your kids in mine start 6 and 8 on monday. When were you at Disney? Are you doing a TR? If so I'd love to follow along. For some reason their school doesn't have lockers. My camera sucks! The flash forget it and it takes forever to take a picture. I think I'm going to buy a nice good one for my october trip. This one was only I think about 90$ so. Emily has one and it takes double As so we buy them but it only works with certain brands. . Amy got one for graduation from my mother. Her's is the best and the package was only 100. It has a great flash. It looks like day when it's pitch black. She doesn't use it so I guess it will be my back-up camera at Disney.
O.K well I'm done venting about cameras.
****************************************************************
I see I have a few new readers. So welcome . Let me post the rest of the AK nov 08 pictures and then I'll get back to the may TR.
Here's the giraffes front

That's probably my favorite safari picture

My second fave

The Goofy and Pluto meet and greet in dinoland

Just the Kiddos

You can't really see Amy's face in any of the pictures because Pluto's blocking her. Whenever he sees Pluto he usually always block's someone. Maybe he's trained to do that.
We didn't go to DTD on this trip so here's the 08 ones
The new t-rex before he accepted ADRS we waited an hour and a half for our table. It was worth it for the experience not so much for the food. So far I had no such lock getting ADRs for our October trip there but we have rainforest DTD so.
Come on in

Mitch sportn' the newest trend a dinosaur on your head!

Amy tryed it on

Mr. rex himself welcoming us in a... not so friendly manner

Amy playing in the dog bone area before we were called to our table

Not by our table but I thought he was cute

Finally we were called to our table in the back by the ice room.
The dinosaur behind them is named Disney lol

Emily with Disney

Mitch had to pose in front of our new friend

This guy was freaking out the whole time

Emily's birthday was 10 days before this. So they brought a cookie with icecream and a candle and sang to her.
O.K you guys go get the stuff while I pay and then we'll meet at Animal Kingdom in a new post.

 

[that's nice]

Just to let you know....
I think your are using photobucket for your pics. If you rotate the sideways ones on there, they will show up facing the correct way on you PTR.

T-Rex was good on our trip.. but I wouldn't wait hours for it!

Yes I am, how do I rotate them.
Thinking back I'm wondering why didn't we just go to rainforest or planet hollywood. But you could spend hours there without eating.

 

[that's nice]

1. Sign into photobucket.
2. Goto an album
3. Click on the sideways picture
4. Put your mouse on the picture... a little grey bar should pop up.
5. Put your mouse over the rotate button.... click right or left.
6. The picture should rotate and then you are all set!!!

Hi guys,
How was everyones week. Mine was CRAZY. The girls started school. Amy went great she's adjusting to middle school perfectly and tomorrow were getting her instrument. Either clarinet or flute. Emily plays flute and now shes been playing for 2 full years. Except she said quote 'I refuse for her to play flute' so.....
Emily got on the team she doesn't want and in the old building. When the rest of the grade is in the new one. And then they put her in a begginer band class when shes 3rd chair in the school. So today she started in a different band class. So thats good. Last night there was a a band open house and Emily played a solo. Which was nice. Also i was sick which is never fun first week of school. Today I was starting to feel better so we all went to the beach for dinner Great plus to living in Florida. Then we had a mini disney night. The wizards of waverly place movie aired. So we watched that it was a cute movie. The kids loved it. Then we had a little scavenger hunt that I whipped together in a couple minutes. And for dessert we had chocolate pudding. and put in gummy bears and oreos to make it all 'Waverly placey'. Amy had made the pudding the other day and Emily said she wouldn't feed it to a dog. So she smeared it on a plate and wrote wizards of waverly place and we all took 10 pictures holding it. I'll have to upload the pictures from tonight. I'm starting not to feel so well so quick update than bed. Yesterday I had to cancel the kids dentist appointment I was so sick..
TR Time!!!!!
So we had our yummy lunch at this place

and then left here

I love when the pictures do the talking
Next DH, Emily and, Amy went on

with FPS from earlier.
let me start a new post picture limit (instert ughhh smilie)

 

[disney<333]

I went back to pangini.
This is why I can't go on

.
They expected the worst and put on ponchos and took of shoes but no one got a drop wet only 2 people on their boat who WERE NOT wearing ponchos everyone else was

Figures
We met back up at the safari thinking we would use our FPS again and then catch the parade but it was hot DH was tired and Amy wanted to go in the grotto pool so back we went. Emily was disappointed she said she would have stayed by herself.
O.KKKK
But Mitch and I had date night that night
So we walked out but first snapped a picture of this

I wanted everyone in but no one would obey Only Emily. One day we should go just the 2 of us. In fact for the October TR I think she's going to help. Make it a mother daughter thing like memom and Jill. She is a diser

a few years ago they did
Sorry it's sideways Time. You need to teach me

O.K thats it for tonight I'll leave you with this funny picture I just found on the computer

Goodnight!![/COLOR][/SIZE]

Hi guys how was everyones day?
Mine was pretty good. I was just going to stay home and clean up the house and then my friend called me and asked me to go shopping with her. Of course I couldn't deny. We went to dolphin mall. Great mall. And they have a nice disney store too. I got a few towels on clearance, a minnie beachball for $.75 (our old one broke), and some cute things for a halloween. Grand total 34$. Not to bad I would have been 34$ richer if i didn't go in though. Also my friend got me a daisy shirt for my birthday. (It was in July). I think it was 6.25 after tax.
Also Amy got a...

(That's a clarinet for all you non-music people)
today she's really excited and practiced a lot today. She can already play 7 notes well. That's pretty much all of todays activities. Tomorrow we are all going mini golfing with my friend that I went to the mall with today and her kids. The hubbies too. We have a nice mini golf like 20 minutes away. Not Disney but still not bad. I'm also in the process of planning Amy's birthday party I think it's going to be on september 12th. It's a pool party with a tinkerbell beach theme. Were making the cake our selves it's either going to look like this
double layered tinkerbell (E at the end or no) shaped holding a beach ball
OR
this
smashed grahm crackers as the sand and a pool. with drink umbrellas and then tinkerbells and sunglasses on the sides. This one would be 4 layer circle.
Help me decide
That's all for right now
Good night

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Hi! just catching up...I would go with the four layer sounds super cute!!!
hope everything there is going well! golfing sounds fun and glad she is catching on to her new tunes quickley....

Hi!
How are you?
That's what i'm thinking I asked a couple people and they all said go with the 4 layer. The golfing was fun after everyone came over to go swimming and then we went out for pizza so it was a fun sunday. I am too middle school is really wearing her out tonight Amy fell asleep at 6:30.
******************************************************************
Hi everyone,
Just came by to do a quick update. Mitch took Emily to sign up for softball and to sports authority for cleats and sneakers they should be home any minute. I was supposed to take Amy to sign up for dance but I hurt my back before carrying this table it hurts but is getting better little by little. If its not better in a few days I might go to the doctor. Also she fell asleep early so tomorrow I guess. Hope ya all had a great weekend I already wrote about saterday but yesterday we went golfing and then everyone came over to go swimming and then we went to this cute little pizza restaurant it's sorta a combination of 50s and sci fi. It's really cool. Realize how I'm doing all this Disney activities the restaurant and the mini golf. I really need to go back it's not healthy for me to be gone from home for so long I get somesick. Tomorrow starts the 'I'm going to Disney world next month dance' Believe it or not but we actually don't have a disney countdown yet just one in my mind. Last time we had one in every room..
O.K lets see how far I get with the TR maybe to date night. I shouldn't early morning yet again with the dentist at 8 and then orthodontist at 8 wednesday. UGHHHH. Mitch needs to go sometimes too.
NOW THE ACTUAL TR
We left

(From computer of course. But I love Disney's clip art. They are so creative)
via

I don't know where or when this was taken but it was on my camera so maybe nov.??
We waited about 20 minutes for the bus but all epcot resorts shared. Like always. Disney doesn't give a crap for their epcot resorts. But they care all about the MK ones. Each have 5 disney has 3 or 4 buses. Epcot 1
When we got back to the dolphin
Emily and Mitch fell right asleep. So Amy and I went to the pool. Also at Animal Kingdom we got the red dinosaur from the ride for DH ofcoure. He now has 4 big ones and a couple of baby ones. Each trip they increase. Amy got a pin necklace and a few pins, and the rainbow mickey head bracelet which is now Emily's. Emily got Mr. Potato head and Nemo. Nemo is now Amy's Mr. Potato head yea right.
