(not to be picky, but it's Jojo, not Dora)
Oh my God! I have finally turned into my mother!
Thank you so much for pointing that out or it would be there for months until it dawned on me! I remember when I was a kid it bugged me so much when my mother would get the name of my favourit t.v. character, musician etc mixed up. And here I am doing it! lol!! I think it's the hair colouring of those two that confused me!
Thanks for understanding about the frustration at the character meal. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience at CP - I'm looking forward to reading about it. Hmmm, I just realised that sounds really callous - preying on your misfortune for my reading pleasure.
Shark - Oh man, that woman gets around. lol!! I wasn't really brave - I got the vibe from her that, despite her terrible mood and crankiness, she'd be able to take a joke. Sounds odd considering I didn't know her but you know when you get a vibe? Believe me if I thought for a second she'd get mad at me, I'd have cried!! Thanks for the kind words Shark!
duncanssweetie - Such thoughtful words, thanks!!!! I'm so pleased you're still here.
Ricky's Girl - I'll adopt you if I can move to your house in America!!
You're a gem, thanks for the kind words. I dunno about "amazing mom" though - I'm always chasing my tail but hopefully the kids won't need too much therapy because of me - I need the therapy money for Disney!!!!! Oh, that spot for the parade was the best! It was shady there - you'll notice in the photos that people across the road from us had the sun in their eyes but we had a bit of shade. Also, it's where the parade starts so you get to see it first and then move on!!
Disneyland_Mama Yeah!! You're still here too. I'm delighted. I think the main problem with H&V was the 'invisibleness' of one mom and a small child compared to the many large groups around us. If you're going as a family you're sure to be spotted. And if JoJo and the servers go missing you can look for them while you're looking for Waldo.
You are one of my favorite posters, wonderful pictures and stories. Thanks for all the pictures it justs brings Disneyworld alive. Your family is great and Alice is the most precious little thing I've seen in along time. 
I just went to check out your most recent Trip Report and as soon as I saw Page one I remembered reading the first few pages of it and loving it but then I disappeared off the boards for a while!! Yes, I remember laughing out loud at those pics on Page 1 and really enjoying your style. At the time I had a tendency to print off new chapters of my favourite trip reports (which I did with yours) and the downside of that is that it makes posting a comment awkward as I would read them offline. I wish I had commented now cause I enjoyed it so much whereas now it looks like I'm only saying it cause you like my one. 
Your allowance is productivity-based. In other words, the more you flatter me with comments, the more money you get. 
Thanks!! Ah yes, my Beaker!! 
Look out for photos of Beaker in an upcoming chapter - be still my beating heart! 
I can't wait for more. your boys are so cute and Alice is adorable. my kids are in their teens, I miss my DD Reese at Alices age, so innocent.
So I'm ready for ya.
! I admire those that manage to get their reports written, I come home every time determined to put one on paper but have yet to do so.
