I just love the passion and freedom of children!!

Part of what makes Disney so great!!!

And that's even when it isn't ME acting that way!!!

 

[maroo]

Loving this!!!!!!

This is going to be one fabulous trip report! And with reactions like that, I would think you will keep getting gift cards.

 

[trennr]

ummm...I like gift cards too.

Also have a pretty mean Happy Dance.

 

[that's nice]

She is just too cute!! And those eyes.... how do you ever say no to her??

It is quite hard to say no.. usually when we say no we immediately turn away and not look at her!!!

This cutie is going to have the gift card dance down pat!

So sweet of the DISers to keep on giving.

She does have it down. The second one was like the first dance.. even her music was similar!

What a great family the DIS is (no community boards )

You're welcome! Love Juliana's gift card dance! You'll be going to Disney World during my favorite time of year. Will you be going to the Candlelight Processional at Epcot? That was my husband's favorite part of our family trip. Have a wonderful wish trip!

Thank you again. As you can see from the pictures the kicker was that the card was Cinderella. I think that pushed Juliana to the next level of silliness!

We are not doing the CP. I really want to see it someday- I just had a hard time trying to fit it in.

Yay!!! more Pixie Dust for our Princess J!!! love the dance she brings a smile to my face!

She is a total NUT! I'm sure there will be a few more dances before we leave.

OMG Juliana is so cute. I just want to squeeze her!

LOL Thank you! I just wouldn't let her squeeze you when she is acting like this... she squeezes hard!

Another great gift card dance. I love how she says she loves both girls (referring to Tink and Cinerella. ) LOL!

I know.. she is a trip! She is so dramatic too.

Tim, the Wonders of Life pavillion is over by Ellen's Universe of Energy attraction..

Ok thanks! Don't think we've ever been in there.

haha..Love Ana's excitement! She is one lucky girl.

She is very lucky... in more ways than one.

I love her little dances. She is such a joyful kid! So glad all this good stuff is happening for Juliana!

You might be seeing more dances... ya never know! We feel very blessed to be chosen to participate in the Big Give.. aren't these people wonderful?

She is so Yay for gift cards!!!

LOL thanks!

I just love the passion and freedom of children!!

Me too.

Marv... you don't act like this. DO YA?

 

[that's nice]

Loving this!!!!!!

Thanks Mary!!!!!

LOL She is just excited to get mail.

I was sorting through some pictures this morning and I came across the picture of us from DHS. Then I come on here and you posted... weird huh?

ummm...I like gift cards too.

Also have a pretty mean Happy Dance.

LOL

Can we see a video of your Happy Dance?

 

[jenseib]

The Big Give people are wonderful! I don't think they are half as wonderful as these kids though! I have no idea how these kids are so brave and strong! I am sure i have mentioned this before but my cousin was a wish kid about 12 years ago. She was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was 5, and got her wish after treatment was over. She also went to Disney, but she is 19 now, and just signed up to run the Boston Marathon! She is trying to raise $50K for the Mass General Hospital Pediatric Oncology department! I swear it is stories like this that make me cry. It is so amazing how these kids take such a tragic moment in their lives and make a difference because of it! My cousin is also studying to be a nurse, I think she wants to work in pediatric oncology.

Juliana deserves every little ounce of happiness these big give people are spreading! She is gonna have a blast spending the gift cards! Better bring along an extra suitcase for the stuffed animal army she may bring back!

 

[marvali]

Marv... you don't act like this. DO YA?

Wellllllllllllllllllllllll.........definitely not ....at least not while I'm at work!

 

[that's nice]

My Yankees have been looking horrible the last few games. I think they will win today and might win game 6, but I have little faith in game 7. I hope it will go that long.

Me too!

Another dancer!!!! You should get together with Marv and make a 2 for 1 video... hey, maybe you 2 could have a dance off!

I would PAY to see that.

Of course you would... you are loaded with all those scratch off winnings!!!

So glad to hear that your cousin is doing well. She seems like an amazing person. I hope she reaches her goal! 50K... that is no small feat.

Funny you say that.... Melody & I discussed bringing an extra suitcase. We are flying on Southwest so our bags fly free!! So we are thinking of adding 1 extra suitcase..... now where do we fit it in the rental car?

Wellllllllllllllllllllllll.........definitely not ....at least not while I'm at work!

Glad you behave yourself at work. Wouldn't want anyone to think you were a NUT or anything....

Tim, your Yankees are getting destroyed. I couldn't believe the last two games. Lee is UNREAL and after your lead last night and blowing it in the 6th, I knew it was over. I don't see them coming back. I'm sorry.

Thanks for bringing me back to reality.... but the Yankees WILL win today.

The bats have gone silent and the pitching has been less than good (except for Andy & Mo). Oh well you can't win them all.

We are 43 days away!! I really cannot believe it. We are going on a trip and we don't have much info about it. We have no info on how to check in to our hotel, no info on a rental car, no info/conformation on the tea party, no documents on our flights, no idea when we are leaving the house to get to the airport (MAW provides transportation). It feels weird not being in control of bringing my family to Florida. But it is what it is....

Melody isn't sure that she wants to eat at Rose & Crown so I am looking to book another ADR. If I can't find anything we might just eat at Sunshine Seasons... which isn't a bad thing. There are so many different choices there. I am still hoping to snag a 1900PF or a CRT... but once again if I don't I won't be too sad- I know they are a long shot.

Another ADR I've been looking at changing is the Raglan Rd. on Friday night with Melody's cousin & fam. If I am able to grab a non-park character meal or 'Ohana I will change our ADR. This is another one that if I'm not able to change I can live with it. I am going to start compiling a few short lists for a few things we want to accomplish in each park & at GKTW.






Here are the answers to my last question:

What ride/attraction in Epcot have you always wanted to ride/see but never had the chance?

1) Captain EO- 4 votes
2) Drinking a Beverly- 3 votes
3) Seeing Mikuki & Off Kilter, Mission:Space, the Segway Tour- 2 votes
4) Seeing the movie in Canada, the balancing waiter (France), Sergio (Italy), watching Crush, Wonders of Life, Eat/Drink around the world- 1 vote

There was also 1 or 2 people who have revealed they actually like to drink the Beverly.... they will remain nameless.

 

[mommy2mrb]

Sounds like it is going to be a wonderful trip...just seeing it through Princess Juliana's eyes will be magic enough!

Still hoping you get the tea party!

Plans sound great. Are you sure you want to do Universal???? I still think Ana is too young. But that's just my opinion. Why doesn't Mel want to do Rose & Crown? We like it a lot. And you wouldn't be speaking of "my" Grumpy would you in liking the Beverly. I never said he WASN'T weird.

I know that we are going to have a great time and she will have the time of her life... I guess I am just getting a little stressed not knowing any info about it. I guess MAW does it this way so families don't have to stress with all the plans and info but it is having the opposite effect on me.

You know how people are on the DIS with their planning. While I am not totally like them I do have some of their tendencies.

Still hoping you get the tea party!

We are too..... crossing fingers and toes!!!!!!
