Awwwwww Kimmy!

I loooooooooove all your pictures!!!

You guys are all so cute!

LOVE Landon. He's sooo handsome!! I just want to squeeze and *mush* those cheeks!

Love your Poly pics... how cute!! The potatoes sound DELICIOUS!!

I was gonna comment tomorrow, since it's getting late, but I had to comment now for two reasons!
1- thanks for the shoutout- I just love my tiki guys. I love all the pics of them I'm glad Landon enjoyed them too
2- I have the same shorts that you were wearing that day! I was actually wearing them today! How ironic is that?

I love the tiki guys too!! They are so awesome!! I miss them!!
That's awesome that you have those shorts too! I just love them!! So cute!! That's pretty crazy that you were wearing them when you read it!

Great update Kimmy! Love Poly and the smells there, too! It's so pretty and tropical! Your dinner at Kona sounds delish! Love the blankie pics of Landon, Dustin carrying the Vera and the Tiki pic of Dustin! SO funny!!

Thanks!! Yum...I wish I wear at the Poly right now enjoying the tropical aroma. Landon loves his blankie so much that sometimes I call him Linus. And Dustin is one huge goofball. Cracks me up!

No problem! She kept looking at me like I was trying to trick her or something! Eventually, I had to tell her that I had a friend who visited Disney World and sent her the postcard. She still loved it though!

Great update! I'm looking forward to the "Poly smell" that I hear so much about. We've never been there, but we're eating at 'Ohana our last morning. I'm sure Tony is going to have to drag me out of there!!!

How funny that she was all suspicious!! That's cute though!!

You will LOVE the Poly smell!! I was so sad I couldn't get a ressie at 'Ohana! I don't even care if its breakfast or dinner! Can't wait to hear about your breakfast!

Me too! I can't wait to see what they are!

And I absolutely LOVE Kona Cafe! That's where we ate our first night on our trip last year. THE BUTTER IS HEAVENLY AND I WANT SOME RIGHT NOW!!!! I want to go and try the steak, too. I ordered the Pomegranate BBQ Pork Chop which was delicious, but the steak sounds so yum!

Landon looks so cute with the blanky over his head

I'm sure they will be good!! Can't wait!

I want some of that butter too!!!!! So good. I wish I could have some every day of my life!!!

Awwwwww Kimmy!

I loooooooooove all your pictures!!!

You guys are all so cute!

LOVE Landon. He's sooo handsome!! I just want to squeeze and *mush* those cheeks!

Love your Poly pics... how cute!! The potatoes sound DELICIOUS!!

Thanks Angie!! Landon's cheeks are very squishable!! Dustin actually kept squeezing his cheeks while saying "squeeeeeze" and now Landon does it to other people and it's so cute!!

If you ever go, get the potatoes! They were amazing!

Okay I am determined to wrap up this final night while my little bear is napping!! It'll be short and sweet!

So after we got off the monorail back in front of the MK, we realized we had 20 minutes until the fireworks started and that we might as well just stay. Yes, it was almost 10 o' clock but back on our time that was equivilant to only 8, so we were all good!

We passed the time with pictures of course!!

Where'd Landon go?! Haha.

Landon resting for a moment on the table. Then he got a big spurt of energy!!

He thought he could just climb this pole. Goofball.

They played the "in just a few minutes" spiel like 3 times and we were starting to get a little antsy!! Then finally...they started for real!! Enjoy!

My little man was so mesmerized.

Of course, after the show, everyone started pouring out of the MK. We would've gotten to the bus stop first if we didn't go to the wrong side completely. In our defense, we didn't realize that drop off and pick up were in different locations at first.

When we finally got on the bus, there was standing room only. Do you know how much that stinks when you are holding a sleepy 25lb+ little guy? Luckily, there was a woman who had a scooter locked in and she was sitting right next to it and told me I could set him down in her scooter. I did and I held him up and he fell asleep.

We enjoyed a quiet ride back to Pop.

We only turned on the light by the mirror and Landon laid there quietly but he was watching all of us get ready for me. And then...he got a HUGE burst of energy. We were all being quiet in our beds and the lights were all off and he was up for at least an hour talking, jumping on the bed and climbing on top of me. It was hilarious. We were all trying so hard not to laugh because we didn't want to encourage him. I was exhausted and he was all about the mommy loving-climbing on me, giving me hugs and kissing and talking. So cute. But I was still ready for him to go to bed. I'm pretty sure I still fell asleep before he did.

It was a great first night, but we were ready to hit the parks after the teaser of hanging outside the MK!

Kristen and I got a shout-out?! How awesome is that! That is so sweet you thought of us.

Isn't the Poly amazing?! I could just hang out in the lobby all day. I'd shop...hang out at the Ohana bar...eat at Ohana...eat at Kona...AND eat at the Kona sushi bar.

When you ate at Kona, you were seriously right by the table we ate at with Kristen and Chris! AND my family was at one of the tables right by there along that wall for breakfast!

 

[princess&her4princes]

What a great way to end your 1st day!! Love, love, love the pic of Dustin holding Landon sleeping.....omg, so cute!!

Isn't always the way, the kids take a bitty little nap and then they are full of energy?! So funny reading that Landon was up later than you guys!! We've had a couple of those nights ourselves!

 

[mojjo627]

Sounds like a great start!!!

Hi! I read your prior trip report but was a lurker. I even remember reading you PTR for this one. I can't believe you are back already. Looking forward to reading about all of your adventures and seeing all the cute pictures you always have. Since I am not going back until March I need your trippie for my Disney fix to get me through.

 

[Shannon84]

Your meal at the Poly sounded great, we snagged a reservation for Ohana when we are there, my DBF is a VERY picky eater but I think he will like it.

I never thought about going to see Wishes outside of MK, but it seems like thats a great spot to check it out!! Might have to try that this trip

 

[xoktenox]

What a great arrival day!! Kona is soooo yummy! You were right by the table we sat at with Tinkgurl and her family. And we got a shout-out

Great way to end the night, watching the fireworks from outside the MK! Wasn't that a great fireworks show!?

2011 discounts tomorrow?!!? I hope so!!

 

[__disneygirl]

Hey! I loved your PTR and didn't even realize you had started your TR. Well, I'm all caught up now and I LOVE it! Your little guy is just too adorable, especially in that cheese fries pic and that story you told at the end of the last update! I could just imagine everyone trying to sleep and him just rambling on and on.

Dustin and Stephanie seem like great friends, it must have been so fun to be at WDW with them! I can't wait to read more.

 

[MinnieTexan]

Wonderful start to your T.R., Kimmy - great photos!

Your little Landon is an absolute doll! Great that you're starting him out loving Disney so young!

I've explored the Poly but haven't ever eaten there. My DH and I should check it out when we go there in November and have one of those amazing Lapu Lapu drinks! Wow, they are pretty impressive!

Looking forward to your next update!

I love the Poly. It really is great. All their meals sound so great. I need to go back for breakfast next trip and try the Tonga Toast. I totally understand how you could spend all day there!!

That's awesome that we were right by where you guys were!! It's so weird to think of how close together we were too!

What a great way to end your 1st day!! Love, love, love the pic of Dustin holding Landon sleeping.....omg, so cute!!

Thanks!! Landon fell asleep in Dustin's arms a few times....mostly because he was the only one who could carry a sleeping baby that long!!

I wish I could powernap like a kid!! If I fall asleep for a nap and get woken up too soon, I'm grumpy not energized!! It was entertaining listening to Landon though!

Sounds like a great start!!!

Thanks! It was!!

I can't believe how fast this trip came and went!! This summer seriously was the fastest one of my life. I can't wait to re-write all of my adventures!! I had the best time!! I hope I do a good job of getting you your Disney fix!

Lucky you for getting 'Ohana! I hope he likes it. I bet he will...my mouth waters every time I read abou it!

It was great watching Wishes outside of the MK. I hear its better from the Poly beach though. We weren't really planning on it and didn't check the time until we were back in front of the MK and realized how soon fireworks were!

What a great arrival day!! Kona is soooo yummy! You were right by the table we sat at with Tinkgurl and her family. And we got a shout-out

I love Kona!! Delicious!! I think that's so cool that we're right by where you were!! I LOVED the Nightastic fireworks too! So great!!

I hope so too!! I know what I'll be doing when I get to work...and it doesn't involve work!

Oh thanks!! Landon is pretty cute, I think! I am a little biased though! I did go with a great group too...a bunch of people I love who always keep me laughing!! It was so great.

Wonderful start to your T.R., Kimmy - great photos!

Thank you!! I am working hard to get him loving Disney at a young age! CM's were alwasy surprised that he wasn't even 2 and this was his 2nd trip!

You totally need to eat at the Poly!! It's so good. But if anything, you should just stop by the bar and get a Lapu Lapu. It's very good.

 

[glennbo123]

Very nice pictures!

Wow, your friend Steph is really tall!

 

[princess_momma]

Very nice pictures!

Wow, your friend Steph is really tall!

I know!! They are both tall. In some pictures I literally look like a child with both of them!!

 

[glennbo123]

I know!! They are both tall. In some pictures I literally look like a child with both of them!!

For a second I was trying to figure out if you are shorter than I had thought, or if they're both really tall. I decided that they've gotta be really tall.

 

[Dancegrl624]

This is my favorite firework picture! So perfect! It sounds like you had a great ending to a great first day. I remember when Madison was little and would take a little "power nap" and then all of a sudden be crazy!

 

[CJDisneyMommy]

I LOVE the smell inside of the Polynesian!!! It smells so fresh and clean...and just nice lol

The drinks at Kona look amazing...they are making me crave Disney just THAT much more

How did Landon do with the fireworks? Conner saw them in December when we went and was fine but nearly crapped his pants at the 4th of July fireworks He was also really tired and we were pretty close for 4th of July, so I am hoping that was just temporary thing ...we shall see

 

[Believeinfairytales]

I'm just lovin' your TR! What a wonderful dinner. There is no better way to end a day than fireworks. You got some lovely pictures.

And too cute about Landon getting his nap and then trying to keep all of you awake!

 

[princess_momma]

For a second I was trying to figure out if you are shorter than I had thought, or if they're both really tall. I decided that they've gotta be really tall.

Hmmm...I'm pretty short, standing at 5'3". Steph is 6 feet I think and Dustin is 6'3". So it's a little of both me being short and them being tall!

This is my favorite firework picture! So perfect! It sounds like you had a great ending to a great first day. I remember when Madison was little and would take a little "power nap" and then all of a sudden be crazy!

I got much better fireworks shots outside the MK!! I love that one too! Our first day was great!! I love kids when they get all crazy! It's funny!

I LOVE the smell inside of the Polynesian!!! It smells so fresh and clean...and just nice lol

I wish I was at the Poly right now!! I love the smell too!!

Landon did great with the fireworks. He really likes them and points and claps and what not. I hope it was a temporary thing for Conner and he enjoys the Disney ones!

Thanks. I wish I could end every day with Disney fireworks.
