This might make you be able to guess where we went after meeting back up with the boys after the Motorcade

but also.....there's something not quite right about this picture.....notice it?? :rolleyes1:lmao:

oh no y'all didn't! :rotfl::rotfl2::lmao:
 
Thanks for posting the SW Motorcade pics...I haven't seen any of these yet. Love those stormtroopers!:thumbsup2
 
Trent loved your SW Parade pics


Love how many stormtroopers there were...so cool:thumbsup2



Nice Pin Becca;)


I know where you are....:goodvibes

Glad Trent enjoyed them! You should take him to SWW one year. It really is fun and like I told Jewels, if you can catch it in a year where they start it in May around Memorial day the heat really isn't that bad. Nothing like June!

Yeah seeing that many at one time was really neat.

hehe thanks :laughing:

:goodvibes
 
So I got my new laptop and I'm LOVING it!! :lovestruc It's super tiny so the keyboard is taking some getting used to so you'll have to excuse my typo's. Plus my long nails are getting in the way too. Very frustrating. I just wish the fake ones would come off already. I got one off so far. Now for the rest. Anyways, I should be able to upload the rest of my mini TR pictures a lot easier now. :thumbsup2

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

yeah and the Jedi training accademy....

Well, as you know I got 8 of them off so at least I can type easier. Only thing about this laptop is that having long fake nails doesn't help typing w/o constant typo's. I now only have the thumbs on but that's not a big deal.
 
LOVED the motorcade pics!!! I had to holler at my boys and have them come look too! Now they are dying to go to SWW!!! Muwhahahahaha my evil plan is now in motion! :stir:

I forgot to post this on our other thread... your laptop at Office Max was $299. :thumbsup2
 
Oh cool!! I wish I was there to watch the parade. I would've fire off my camera like a machine gun. LOL...

Less me guess...you bought one of those netbook with a 9 inches screen that's either made by Acer or HP. I want to get one of those too. My UPMC is very convenience to carry but the screen is just too small to read. Forget about even typing. It's like a giant version of blackberry. It's only good to copy files on a fly with my CF card when I am on site. I need to check out one of those netbook too.
 
WOW!! Hey girl!! Where the heck have you been!? Last I heard from you was on MySpace. Glad you are back and you found me! :goodvibes:hug: How have you been??? What's new?? Details girl!!

Thanks! And I can't wait to put up more details up of December :goodvibes

Hey!!! I know ive been AWOL for a while... been tied up with a few too many things.. I love the mini trip TR so far (gotta get on the other comp that actually loads pics for a while to check them out).... Hopefully fixing to start a TR. My parents are taking Alexa on her first trip in either Dec or Jan. Can't wait ti read more. I guess i also need to update my sig with a pic of Miss Alexa huh?

Oh wow that's a great price!! Totally jump on that!

:laughing: I'm sure you would have and I bet you would have gotten way better pictures than I did. Mine would have turned out better if I had gotten a better spot to watch the parade from. I wish I would have realized what was going on sooner.

Oh yeah you for sure need a bigger screen than that UPMC. And yes I got the Acer Aspire One 10.1" screen. It's not too small and not too big either. It's really just right. I highly recommend it. I think it's Verison that's selling the HP model with a 3G network card inside of it if you are interested in that. The netbook is only $300 but then you have to pay for the wireless service but if you travel a lot then I'd think it would be worth it.

That's very cool that your parents are taking Alexa on her first trip to WDW. Are you not going?? :confused3 And yes you need to update your siggie with pictures of her. I haven't seen any updated pictures on your MySpace in a while either :confused3 But glad you are back and posting :thumbsup2
 
Woohoo!! Heh...just checkin' in and saying hey! (and waiting for more SWW updates.) :rolleyes1

Hey girl! Happy Monday! Thanks for checking in. I'm going to work on an update here in a few minutes. I'm just about cought up with my Monday morning work.
 
Okay so I lied....it looks like an update isn't going to happen before I leave work today but I will do my best to get one out here after going to the grocery store this afternoon.
 
So last I left you we were headed somewhere new after meeting up with the boys and I left you with this picture to try and figure it out

IMG_0753.jpg


Well, if you guessed we were in Pizza Planet, you guessed correctly so give yourself a round of applause. But did you notice the button that Becca is now wearing? That's right folks.....Becca stole Chris' "happy anniversary" button haha!!

IMG_1170.jpg


So once we got to Pizza Planet we sent the boys to get food and we went on a scavenger hunt for a table. There were 4 other families upstairs doing the same thing *sigh*. It wasn't looking very promising that we were going to get a table any time soon. This is the one thing I hate about table service restaurants in WDW. The great table scavenger hunt. So we wait, and we wait and we waited some more. Finally a table freed up but another woman that had been waiting longer than us nabbed it up....which was fine with me since she had been there longer. But then for some reason she decided she didn't need the table so surrendered it up to us! SCORE!! As we sat down Chris called me and asked me if I wanted one of the souvenir coups and I said of course! About 10 minutes the boys showed up with our food. I didn't take any pictures because everyone knows what pizza looks like. It was pretty yummy as Disney Pizza normally is. After our bellies were full and we were about to leave one of the clean up crew guys saw my happy anniversary button and said "happy anniversary" I did the normal thing and said thank you but apparently Becca said thank you at the same time and totally caught him off guard and he said "oh I see we have a ladies celebration here....my apologies". I must confess it was a bit odd but it was funny so I let Becca have her fun. The boys just covered their faces and pretended not to be with us. After that we cleaned up and surrendered our table to the next waiting family (which btw were pretty rude....they didn't even wait for us to get out of the way before they started shoving their way into the seats at the table...grrrrr!).

Here's a picture of Chris and Becca waiting on James to get out of the potty
IMG_1171.jpg


Then it was time for TSM FP's!!! yay!!!! On the way over Becca stopped to do some pin trading and he did the normal Happy Anniversary thing and Becca said thank you and looked at me and I grinned.....and then Chris said "no no no no! It's me and her's anniversary" (as he pointed to me and him) The CM laughed about it and said he would trade pins with Becca even though we were being sneaky. We all had a nice laugh and continued on our treck to TSM. The ride was fun as usual. I came in 3rd place. I think I had like 87,000 points or something like that. Chris had some un-godly score as usual and the "prize" he got was the cat instead of the normal beaver that most everyone gets. He was pretty happy about that. He's so funny at those games...so competitive. I can't wait until the video game version comes out on Wii!!

So after that we decided to leave since it was well after 1:30pm at that point and we still had two other parks to go to. Me and Becca parted ways with the boys yet again because they had to take my car to Discount Tire to get the tire replaced because they are awesome like that! Becca and I were headed to EPCOT!! We drove to the MK parking lot and parked here
IMG_1177.jpg


And we took the monorail over to EPCOT. I just want to say that I think the monorail ride over to EPCOT is my favorite one. It's just SO long and over pretty Florida landscape so I thoroughly enjoyed this ride.
IMG_1179.jpg


As we waited for the monorail Chris called to tell me how much it was going to be to replace the tire. We had a warranty on the tires that pretty much replace the tire for free if anything happened to the side wall of the tire but we had to pay labor and the transfer of the warranty from the old tire to the new one so it was about $33. Which of course I had totally forgotten to give Chris any $. I didn't think it was going to cost anything (silly me!) so James loaned Chris the money and I paid Becca back. So good, that was taken care of. What a load off!

And then our monorail arrived!!

The Flower and Garden festival was still going on at EPCOT which I was pretty excited about because I had never seen it before.

Here's some of the pictures I took as we walked into the park

Let me just say the topiaries they do for this event are just breath taking. The gardeners that create these works of art are just so talented and I loved all of the topiaries.

But, I'm going to have to stop here for now because I have more topiary pictures from the front of the park that I haven't had a chance to upload yet dang it!

I hope you enjoyed this update and sorry I didn't get to post it yesterday. Also sorry for the lack of pictures in this update....I promise the next one will have lots more. :thumbsup2
 
Yay! I'm caught up! Loving the mini-TR!

I love SWW! DH and I went in 2003. That was when we lived in Tampa and before we had kids.

OMG! Ray Parks is so hot! He was Darth Maul in Phantom Menace, right?

Eating at Pizza Planet and doing TSM are definitely on our to-do list. BobbleHead loves Woody and Buzz. Do you think it's okay to take a 14-month-old on TSM or should DH and I swap?

I never been to the Flower and Garden festival. Can't wait to see more pics from it!

Thanks :goodvibes

Ah good time to go. I think that is something that you can enjoy with or w/o kids. There's things to do for everyone and I think that is great!

Yes you are correct! And he's playing Snake Eyes in the new G.I. Joe movie set to come out next month. (or at least I think it's next month....it might be August...)

I don't know much about children but I have heard that on this ride if you take a small child on they have to sit in between the two adults. So if you feel he will be able to sit in between the two of you w/o any problems I think he will do fine.

Oh I do recommend it. It is absolutely beautiful! And it's very kid friendly too. They have at least 2 or 3 playgrounds set up through out the park for kids that are so neat. :thumbsup2
 
I LOVE the pics of the Flower and Garden Festival. I want to go during that so bad! You were there for Star Wars Weekend and F&G! Lucky! :lmao: about you and Becca and the anniversary!
 
Love the topiary pictures! I miss going to Epcot in May...it's just so lovely!

So cool of the guys to get the new tire while you girls enjoy the park :thumbsup2

I've never done Pizza Planet...may need to add this to our Nov trip.
