The Ingredients for Pixie Dust, a June 2010 TR - 10/2 DIsney Halloween PTR started!

What a great way to wrap up your trip report! There is nothing like a trip to Goofy's to send you off with a smile!

I wish I had some of that toffee right now.

How great that you were able to walk over and meet Diane! The DIS is such a great place to make the nicest friends!

Honestly, I have friends here at home, but I would be so sad without you all!
 
Great final day -- hurray for meeting Diane!!! Love the picture of the boys eating gelato -- couldn't help but notice all the soldiers laid out on the table! Too funny that DS5 wanted a picture of his mango gelato -- it does look mighty tasty!

Oh let me tell you he had that a few times! When we were not visiting the Beaches and Cream window! :rotfl:
OH yes, those soldiers were everywhere.... :rolleyes:

It was great fun meeting her for sure! :goodvibes

Okay, I am truly cracking up at the thought of DH making dashboard Mickey talk and then talking back to him!!! :rotfl:

OH it is funny I promise... :laughing:

Wonderful souvenirs!!! I, especially, love that Magic Kingdom magnet! That is fabulous! (You know I have a soft spot for magnets. :laughing:) Some of those Legos look mighty familiar! :lmao: I would pay good money for some of those treats right now -- I think I will have to go cut up an apple and drown it in caramel sauce now. LOL!

Apples in caramel sauce doesn't sound too shabby! I consoled myself with chocolate mint icecream!!! :laughing:

Ditto to you for being a fantastic DIS friend -- it is always so much fun reading about your trips and plans! :goodvibes Which means you shouldn't wait too, too long to get your PTR for Disneyland up and running. ;)

Thanks CP! Really I have had so much fun bantering with you and everyone else about, well, everything!! :) It is fun. I can't wait to see the rest of your Disney trip unfold either! Looking forward to the Taste of Africa post! :thumbsup2 SO.... did you all decide about Disney or DC???

I love that Christine and Cynthia are going to the flowershow together!!! I think that is awesome! I would love to do that too!!! :laughing: PACING myself TRYING to pace myself.. :rotfl:

I ALSO forgot that I have photopass pics! I have a few, some are okay, some not at all, but I will find the CD (it has been THAT long!!!) and post them tonight or tomorrow!!!
 
What a way to end a fabulous trip report!!!! I so cannot wait for your PTR, better make sure to send out a bat signal for those of who are TR finding impared (pointing at myself LOL)

Loved your souvenirs, and you can never bring home too much Disney candy with you!! I know I'm stocking up on FUDGE...lots of WONDERFUL fudge!!! I'm going to freeze it (does Fudge even freeze well LOL)! I want fudge all year round!!!
 
SO.... did you all decide about Disney or DC???

Nope, no decision yet. On the one hand, it is awfully hard to pass up Free Dining -- it never fits in with our dates and here is actually is, but on the other hand, we do want to do DC. Decisions, decisions. I just need someone to tell me what to do. I am the worst at vacation destination choices.

Oh DON'T worry, Jen! You know I will make sure you all know!!! FUDGE you can freeze, I believe. I don't think it would change the texture of it... I would be willing to give it a try. I bet if you googled you could see...

I have all the packaged candy (well, except the taffy, that is gone, LOL!) to save for the boys this October. Not sure what we are going to do yet... I am hoping they will go for Disney costumes for halloween!

I hear you on that. Well, I would happily help you have a good time up in DC! IF we maybe go to Disney then, it would be only over that holiday weekend...
 
Welcome back! Looking forward to the souvenir posts and Disneyland trip planning!

I should be able to start my new PTR next week :thumbsup2

You're still making us wait LOL pirate:

I can't wait to see the last of your photos, hear your big news (sooner than later please LOL :worship:), and talk Disneyland!! How exciting is that going to be!!!!!! Halloween at DL, that is WAY TOO COOL!!!

ALL will be in my new PTR... ;) I am really looking forward to it too! We are NOT doing the halloween party, however, for a variety of reasons, time being the biggest reason. BUT we have done MNSSHP, so I don't know if they can top that in DL... THOUGH I hear their decorations are amazing. I can't wait! :yay:
 
I bought the last buzz and woody together ornament from the Christmas Store at DTD... and remember when you said in this report you got one, so cute, I can't wait to put it on the tree. I had to actually get one with the personalized year on it... it was it for that ornament.

I have truly loved your report... and seeing the bc makes me crazy to be back there! Looking forward to your trip out west ptr!
 
I love that Christine and Cynthia are going to the flowershow together!!! I think that is awesome! I would love to do that too!!! :laughing: PACING myself TRYING to pace myself.. :rotfl:

more comments later but just have to say....we can always find room for one more....

:rotfl:

I love that because you got rest/swim/relaxation time the boys are not completely zombies and are still happy and have some energy left. :)




Goofy's candy bags are nice for bringing back treats for my classes. Gummy stuff is exciting to start with, but when it is in a Goofy's bag, it becomes even moreso. :thumbsup2

THANK YOU for being my friends on the DIS, and letting me experience Disneyworld EVERY day that I log in and read your stories and trip plans. :grouphug: It really makes my day.

Awesome magnet. I will be on the lookout for that one in October.

Thanks for sharing your family and your trip with us. Never let me miss out on a Happydog report. I love them! :cool1:
 
I hear you on that. Well, I would happily help you have a good time up in DC! IF we maybe go to Disney then, it would be only over that holiday weekend...

We'll make it do DC eventually whether it is this summer or some other time. I would really like to find a time when hotels are not an arm and a leg. Is there an off season in the city?

THOUGH I hear their decorations are amazing. I can't wait! :yay:

Make sure you look for the gingerbread house in the Haunted Mansion -- I think it is in the ballroom scene. Every time I see pictures of it, it makes me want to take a trip there. LOL!
 
What a great way to end your TR!

I adore that magnet!! I was looking for a magnet this trip and never got one because none of them were speaking to me! I would have totally bought that one. Darn!

Oh I am wishing for a piece of that toffee right now too!!! I can't wait to see the goodies in Disney Land!!!

I hope we get to travel with WigD and co. again, soon!!!!

Loved your trip report! Can't wait for the Disneyland PTR! :goodvibes


Aw! Thanks! It was so fun to write! I can't believe it took me that long LOL!, but I want to go back and enjoy all the pics myself!!!!!!! :laughing:

Thanks so much Laura!!! Yes, I think that is the cutest one too!!! I am on the look out for the REX ornament next, hoping I can find it in Disneyland or in Dec when we go for the training.... I am going to do a little Disney tree this christmas downstairs, and I can't wait!!!!


more comments later but just have to say....we can always find room for one more....

:rotfl:

OH I cannnot tell you how tempting that is. Seriously. But MAY is the worst time for me to be gone, b/c of work! Only Memorial day is there a chance! And Spring break is SO late this year I can't believe it!!!!

I love that because you got rest/swim/relaxation time the boys are not completely zombies and are still happy and have some energy left. :)
It was fun to be able to leave with a smile, I do admit, but now, I am a big BOO HOO!!!! :laughing:

I will make sure you get my "mickey signal" for the ptr!!! :goodvibes

And that Magnet I love, too! I found it in the shop outside of Snow White... I forget which one that is...

Ugh. DC is probably expensive all the time, but consider finding a hotel in MD, right off of the metro line. In Bethesda? Not necessarily cheaper, I don't know, but there is a Hyatt and a Marriot, right in front of the metro access... look for MD or VA hotels, near metro, b/c you can ride the metro right into the areas you would want to visit, and it might be less chaotic, too...in areas like that there are always good places to walk around and get food, etc. Arlington? Also an area near the Pentagon, Crystal City, I think they call it -- business area, but may have more reasonable hotels than right in the city center...

Oh I will start scouring my Disneyland book, DON'T worry!!!! :magnify:
 
A great ending to a great TR!! :thumbsup2

It's always fun tagging along on your family trips! :goodvibes
 
I absolutely LOVED your TR! You have completely convinced me that doing a 7 day (5 days at the World, 2 travel days) trip to WDW in the future just won't do.

I always wondered how we were going to handle park running on my DH commando schedule with kids later on down the road. I now know that the answer is that we need more time!!!

Your trip looked so relaxing as it did fun filled. :goodvibes Thanks for sharing, your family is beautiful!
 
Great wrap-up, HD! I agree that the burgers at HH are yummy. I've heard that they are the same as Beaches 'n Cream. I haven't tried gelato though. I will put the mango variety on my list. Oh and how cute that the army men joined you for lunch! :)

You got some great souvenirs and deals!! :thumbsup2

Can't wait to hear about Disneyland!!!
 
Great final update!
I agree that a longer trip just gives you the time to do things leisurely.
I love your watch and MK magnet. I need to look for those in November.

Can't wait for the Disneyland PTR to start :goodvibes
 
Thanks for letting me visit Disney World vicariously through you guys again. Looking forward to your next Disney adventures! :)
