I love your "commentary" on the parade! So cute!!
Your DD is absolutely FLIPPING ADORABLE!!! Great outfit too!

I can't believe a PP took pictures with someone standing RIGHT THERE! Good for you for salvaging them.

I LOVE the parks decorated for Halloween/Fall. I so missed going there last year and now I will have to make it a point to go back there soon to see it. Loved your DDs outfit too...very cute!

CRACKED up at those photos...that is SOO funny! I'll have to keep my eyes open for that photographer next month!

Isn't it so pretty there in the fall! I just loved it!

Thanks on the outfit. My mom is pretty handy with the sewing machine and made that for her for the trip.

That PP photographer was something else! If you see him, tell him I said hello!

Sorry Sheree, I went back and clarified the TR... He WAS the photographer! He was using a remote shutter release and he stood in front of the camera and ended up taking the picture of himself!

OH jeez! How goofy is that? I thought he looked dressed as a PP, but thought maybe there were two there.

OMG the PP guy is hilarious (sort of) but at least you were able to salvage your pics ! Too funny.

LOVE your dd's outfit ! SO cute.

Good commentary on the parade too .. it looked like a great day at MK !

 

[sharonW]

If all the times I've been to disney, never have in the fall, it looks fantastic
as we all know disney knows how to work its magic at any given season!!!

Loved your parade poem almost as much as I'm enjoying your TR!!
I'm having a blast reading along and as usual cannot wait for more!!!

 

[fnrsgrl]

I love your parade poem!

Wowsa - major updates in the last two days.

The view from your CBR room is absolutely fabulous and the pictures are gorgeous. They could convince anyone to stay there. I haven't stayed there in years and it just looks so lovely! Yeah for the great room location.

And good deal getting that nap in. I'm sure you all needed it.

Your DD's outfit is absolutely adorable. Did someone make that? It just looks so original. I love it.

What they heck is WRONG with that PP guy? And then they left the pictures like that without an edit. I guess they don't edit, do they? Well, you did a good job.

Cute poem about the parade!

No! One of him was quite enough!

Thanks! It was a great day at MK. To me, any day at MK is a good one!

No 'sort of' about it... that PP guy was absolutely hilarious!

I love fall! It is my favorite time to travel because the weather is usually nice and everything is so pretty. I really enjoyed seeing all the decorations at MK too.

And thank you for the nice comments. I have such a good time writing TRs and I'm glad you enjoy reading it.

I love your parade poem!

Thank you! I plan to keep my day job, but I like to make the TR as fun as possible.

Yeah, I have updated a lot lately. Maybe I need to slow down some. Seems like everyone is getting busy again and might not be able to keep up.

I've got lots more pics of CBR to come. It is so beautiful there that's it hard not to get carried away with the pictures.

Thanks for the nice comments on the outfit. My mom made it for her. I helped with it, but she is the sewing expert. She made another one for our AK day too that I thought she did great on. She just takes plain clothing, skirts/shirts/jackets etc, and adds appliques and embroidery to them to spice them up. Then I make or find accessories like hair stuff, belts, bows for shoes, etc. to go with them. The shoes for that outfit are just black Teva flip flops that I pinned bows to. I just changed the bows out each day to match her outfits.

That PP guy was a nut! I don't think they do any editing to the pictures. You can edit all you want though, thankfully! And I could have deleted those pics that he was in, but I knew that they had to go in the TR so I kept them!

NO Rink....please don't slow down, i'm lovin it too much.
....and I'm anxious to hear about the plans for the next
magical adventure!!!!

 

[Woth2982]

Great updates! I love the fall decorations at the MK. So jealous you got to see the cross over. That is my Disney dream. Maybe next year. We are trying to plan a friends trip for 2013 with about 15-20 people! Don't slow down! I had my knee surgery yesterday and the TRs are keeping me entertained! Day time tv is awful!

 

[marDgreen88]

Oh my gosh what an adorable outfit your DD is wearing! So precious.

I think you're right... I think they DO move that bench for the Christmas season! My last two trips have been during Christmas and I've missed seeing it!

I love that parade too. There's something so special about it! Love your poem!

OMG that photopass guy... what in the world! I'm glad you were able to salvage them!

 

[petals]

Love your parade commentary.
I loled at the photopass guy in your pics. I think photopass have a few issues they need to iron out Glad you were able to salvage them though

How did I know you would say that! I just don't want anyone to get left behind. I know how hard it is to get caught up on TRs once you get behind. I won't slow down too much though or I will never get this thing finished with all the pictures I have! This was my 3rd trip and I took more pictures than ever!

Oh no! I hate to hear that. I hope you get healed up and moving along quickly. I noticed you had not been around as much but I didn't know that was why. I hate healing from sugery... so painful and boring. And you are right, daytime tv stinks! I rarely turn mine on during the day except to watch the news.

15-20 people on a Disney trip! WHOA! That will be a planning challenge for sure!

Thank you! My mom made that outfit for her. She is quite handy with the sewing machine. Works out great for me.

Well I'm glad to hear that someone else thinks they move the bench. I was wondering if I was just nuts!

At least we all got a good laugh from the PP dude!

Yes, I would say that some of the PP photographers are more talented than others.

Your mom is very talented because that certainly is one of the cutest outfits I have ever seen for a little girl!

Having trip report fodder is always fun, isn't it?

 

[mickeystoontown]

The picture of your daughter's face on the bus was so cute! You can see how excited she was to be on the way to the Magic Kingdom and I can't say that I blame her.

The Photopass pictures were funny but I can see how you would first say "what the heck was he doing?". Like you said though, you were able to crop him out.

Well thank you! I think she is pretty talented too. She is a crafting queen!

And yes, I'm always up for a good laugh and I love having funny TR stories to tell when I get home. Sometimes it isn't always funny right at that moment, but I know it will be later on! My husband thinks I am nuts for writing all that stuff down but I don't want to forget any of it for the sake of keeping the TR interesting! And IMO, that stuff makes for the best memories anyway.

I love that picture too. That is pure Disney joy right there!

In hindsight, I am thankful for stuff like the crazy PP guy because I can use all the laughs I can get! And that kind of stuff will still give me a chuckle 20 years from now when I look back on it.

I just wanted to say that your trip report is absolutely one of the best I have ever read, and I've read quite a few. Really feel that I was there with you and your lovely family. I really appreciate all your vivid descriptions and seeing your great photos. Thank you for all the time it took to post everything. You are a trip report writer extrodinaire - well don't know if I spelled that right, but I hope you know what I mean.

Well you are being way too kind, but thank you so much for the sweet comments. I am so glad that you are enjoying reading along. I love writing TRs. It's a nice little hobby to have during the boring days of winter, and I am always up for talking Disney! I really appreciate everyone who reads along with me and comments because it is so nice to have people to share my Disney love with. Most of my 'real life' friends and family don't get it and have no desire to chat with me for hours about all things Disney. Can you imagine that? I'm sure most Dissers can relate though!

I have the same problem. Noone understands the addiction better than another Disser.I love when people come for advice on what to do when they are going there, though. It's fun to share the love.
