Wishes makes me cry too. Before I had any babies I was at Disney and made a wish during the fireworks (corny, I know) Well it must have worked cause a few months later I was pregnant with Dexter.
Poor little Dexter wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Mickey's wonderful fireworks!

THAT IS THE BEST WISHES STORY EVER!!!
yummmm.... 
I'm drooling just thinking about them!
Add me to the list of teary eyes when it comes to Wishes! In fact, listening to the music in the car yesterday also prompted the same response
It's the Disney Pavlonian Response! Dole Whips = drool, Wishes = tears!
This ought to be good!
You are so right about the Disney Pavlonian Response!!! It works on me everytime!
Oh, it is a classic Disney story at our house now!
Picture of Connor is adorable and love how concerned he was for Tink's safety during the fireworks! Looking forward to seeing your fav picture of Chelsea.
Thanks! It comes on Day Six so you won't have to wait too long.
Why is it people lose all sense of personal space when it comes to parades/fireworks??
Drives me nuts. And what are the parents thinking letting their kids practically climb on you?!
I would have been mortified as a parent, but apparently they didn't care since they never said ANYTHING to their child.
I get teary at Wishes too. So nice to know there are other Disney saps out there!
Don't worry -- there are lots of us!!!
I just heard about the Lunar Landings phone the other day... I am going to have to check that out!
Connor was so funny, because he thought it was a real phone at first.
Can't believe you're heading back to work August 1st!
I'd love being out by Memorial Day but hate going back in August! I am convinced that I was meant to be independently wealthy and something has just gone horribly wrong!
Me too!
Uh-oh... full scale fit... wonder who it is...
One that already had a fit about the exact same ride...
Thank you!
We got to see it when they were still testing it....I'm happy to hear that it's improved!
We got a kick out of it, but we are huge Monsters, Inc. fans -- I think we know the movie by heart at this point -- we own it on DVD and watch it everytime it comes on television.
Just tell yourself that they are loading a guest that was in a wheelchair and has to be transfered out into the ride vehicle....that's why it takes so long on those rides.
Yes, realizing that after SSE helped when it happened on the Haunted Mansion.
I've learned no matter the weather....Dole Whips must be eaten immdiately or you wear it.
Sadly, we were, but they were melting faster than we could eat them.
Oh, trust me, I was furious at the parents -- the kid didn't know any better, but obviously the parents didn't care that they were all over us.
I had no idea about this phone! I have written it down in my notebook (disney dork, I know). What is and where is Lunar Landings?
It's that CS/Snack place right under the TTA and Astro-Orbiter.
You'll find out tomorrow!
Great update Jackie!!!
A night of the Haunted Mansion, Spectro, fireworks, and Space Mountain sounds perfect. Not to mention Dole Whip Floats!!!
Thanks! It was perfect!
Don't you just hate it when people try to squeeze in during the parade? Do they really think people stake out a spot early to have someone else practically sit on them? These are the moments I wish the Magic Kingdom wasn't dry.
We had been there since just after 8:30 for our prime spots -- it irked me to say the least -- I definitely wish that I could purchase a Lapu Lapu at the MK!
Cancel your breakfast ADRs at BOMA????? Hmmm something is telling me you didn't. I'm guessing you went to breakfast and then headed back to the MK.
You might be partly right!
As far as the full scale fit, I'm guessing pre-teen Chelsea. Everything is drama when you're that age.
You're telling me! Tonight I was teaching the kids to play Canasta and she started going all diva on me!
I hope another update comes tonight
Tomorrow -- I am on the every other day plan.
On a different note, I'm surprised no back to school sales by you.
NYC public schools (thankfully I no longer work for them and ended earlier) just ended on June 27th. It's July 13th and the sales have started. As I flipped through the Times this morning, sale flyers from Target and Staples fell out. I immediately threw those in the garbage. No need to be depressed on a sunny Sunday morning!
There might be, and I might just be ignoring them.
Is Chelsea excited about starting middle school? It's such a big transition.
She is very excited!!!
Waterless soap?! Is that like the antibacterial hand gel? MUST HAVE!
I think so -- I am definitely finding and packing some for next summer!
Great update! Count me amongst the hordes who have said they love the pic of Connor and Chelsea trapped with Zurg, and who is also looking forward to your favorite of Chelsea!
I was never a fan of sticky hands either. My mom tells me I was always a very clean child and never liked to make mud pies or anything because of that. And during freshman year of college, my college has a "Mud day" during orientation week. I opted out of that, too--though it probably would've been great for my skin! All that exfoliation,
And ooh, a fit! Drama! Looking forward to the next installment!
Thanks! I hated getting dirty when I was younger, too, but I told Chelsea that she could just lick the stickiness off her hands -- I didn't want to miss Spectro!
Great update, love the "no pouting in Magic Kingdom" comment, I'm the same way. Glad you got to enjoy your favorite ride, poor girl being terrorized by her father
.
Loved your comment about watching fireworks in the summer with your family, I couldn't agree more
Can't wait for more
Lesley
Thanks!
It's my new motto: No Pouting at Disney World!
Chelsea hates the Haunted Mansion, but I know she secretly adores her daddy scaring her, because she is always the one that points out it is a tradition for her to ride with Charles!
It has always been one of my favorite memories of WDW -- even when I was the little kid, and now I bring my children, and hopefully one day I will be there with my children and grandchildren!
So I'm trying to put it off until I finish my summer class, then I'll disneydream all I want!
