TIM!!!

Am I seeing things??!!??

So glad to have you back my Dis brotha!!

I'm back... slowing easing my way back into this.

Looks like you had a pretty good dinner at Boma.

It was a good dinner. I just might have to try it out again soon.

Love that you got to go out and meet up with a Dis dad!!
I think I text you that evening and asked how y'alls day went and you told me you weren't sure if you should go for the Dis meet. Glad it worked out.

Wow! I totally forgot about that. I do have a new phone so I lost all my texts.

Oh, I'm not worried. You'd have to be a moron to consider having another baby at my age.

I didn't realize you converted.

Haha yea I have taken a few this year! Wait til next year! I think I am gonna try to get not only the new limited edition pink coast to coast medal, but I wanna try and do Wine and Dine half as well as DL half to try and get the regular coast to coast medal as well. 2 trips to each park in 1 year. So much for quitting my second job anytime soon lol. I will be teaching swimming lessons every Sunday from now until the day I die at this rate!

I'm jealous. My running has been nonexistent. Although there is a 5K coming up in Nov. that I might have to start training for.

Great update. AKL is such a pretty resort.
sounds like a fun night with your buddy too

I love AKL. I still am hoping to stay there someday..

Today was an exciting day... it was going to be our Magic Kingdom day! This was very exciting because I had passes to enter the 'new' Fantasyland. I pulled the shades open, and I saw it. The rain. Figures. The last 3 times we booked BBB, it has rained. We ate a quick breakfast in the room, got everyone dressed, and walked over to the bus stop. We were there early enough that there was a chance we could make rope drop.

The kids were bundled up and ready for fun.

When the bus finally pulled up, our chance of catching rope drop was gone.

We didn't really care though because we were going to arrive at MK early.

Juliana sat with gramma...

...and Bubba sat with us.

He looks a little scared in this picture.

We walked right into MK and it looked a bit different than it did on Saturday with all the fall/Halloween decorations.

Christmas had arrived.

We walked down Main St. heading towards Fantasyland. We had to stop to see some old friends...

We were there early enough to take a picture of the castle without anyone else in it!

We walked through the castle and bumped into a couple of loud obnoxious girls. Christopher was getting a kick out of them... they loved him. But he didn't want to get too close.

Juliana didn't mind them.

Our first ride was Peter Pan then we crossed the street and walked onto everyone's favorite ride.

Say what you want about Small World, but watching my kids reaction is worth the price of admission. Juliana was seeing how Christopher liked it...

There it was. The new section. We might have a chance to get in there later.

We hit one more of our favorites... Winnie the Pooh.

We were going to buy the book that has the story of the ride in it but it was super pricey...

We were going to search for it online- which we have yet to do.



Up Next... the making of a princess

I love when the park is empty. What day is this? I think Carey was there that day too.

It was Tuesday 11/6. I think you are right... I think she told me she was going to be there when I bumped into her in DHS. But it was a year ago.

I'd love to be there sometime to see that transition.

We were there early enough to take a picture of the castle without anyone else in it!

Nice!

Juliana was seeing how Christopher liked it...

He looks thrilled!

We were going to buy the book that has the story of the ride in it but it was super pricey...

You know, I never even knew they had a book from the ride. Kind of makes sense though. I guess I'm just too good at putting on the blinders and walking through the dump shop.

 

[Poolrat]

Awesome MK morning even if it is rainy.

I do like the Bus stops at CSR.

Looks like you knocked out a good chunk of the "old" Fantasyland first thing.

Those steps are always a hoot.

 

[jedijill]

Christopher looks so cute flirting with the Stepsisters! Juliana is such good big sister!

It was weird and neat all at the same time. Typing that was weird.

He looks thrilled!

We watch the Disneyland sing along songs almost daily and he LOVES the small world part. Just sayin'

We were going to look for it on amazon but we never did.

Awesome MK morning even if it is rainy.

Hey Pat! Hope everything is well with you!

I do like the Bus stops at CSR.

I like the CSR busses.... we've never had a problem with them. They were usually empty too.

Looks like you knocked out a good chunk of the "old" Fantasyland first thing.

We were on a mission.

Those steps are always a hoot.

Yes. Yes they are.

Christopher looks so cute flirting with the Stepsisters! Juliana is such good big sister!

Jill in CO

She had fun with them- with some extra time too. There was no one around them.

 

[mommy2mrb]

I recognize that!

The kids were bundled up and ready for fun.

They are just too cute for words.

When the bus finally pulled up, our chance of catching rope drop was gone.

You gave it a good try.

We didn't really care though because we were going to arrive at MK early.

Juliana sat with gramma...

Gotta have some grandma love.

...and Bubba sat with us.

He looks a little scared in this picture.

He was probably thinking the heck with the pictures, let's get this show on the road.

We walked right into MK and it looked a bit different than it did on Saturday with all the fall/Halloween decorations.

Christmas had arrived.

I love both sets of decorations, but I think I favor Christmas just a tad more (but that could be because it is freshest in my mind).


We walked down Main St. heading towards Fantasyland. We had to stop to see some old friends...

Fun

We were there early enough to take a picture of the castle without anyone else in it!

Awesome!

We walked through the castle and bumped into a couple of loud obnoxious girls. Christopher was getting a kick out of them... they loved him. But he didn't want to get too close.

Those are the same two that Mark and I had last year...they were a hoot.

Juliana didn't mind them.

She's more accustomed to them after her numerous trips.

Our first ride was Peter Pan then we crossed the street and walked onto everyone's favorite ride.

Say what you want about Small World, but watching my kids reaction is worth the price of admission. Juliana was seeing how Christopher liked it...

As you know, I am NOT a fan; but it is fun seeing kids eyes light up when they see it.

There it was. The new section. We might have a chance to get in there later.

Hope you did!

We hit one more of our favorites... Winnie the Pooh.

One of my favorites!

We were going to buy the book that has the story of the ride in it but it was super pricey...

I never saw that book; I'll have to look for it in December.

We were going to search for it online- which we have yet to do.



Up Next... the making of a princess

I can't wait to see Princess Juliana all made up.

We have MBs and FP+ for our trip...

I guess I should just write a post about what we are doing, eh?


::edit:: baby just woke up. guess I'll be back later....

Be careful what you write so certain eyes don't see "all" your plans.

 

[wiigirl]

Great update!

 

[OhMari]

I have you back open. We stayed at CSR and had a rental and we were at the parks within 5 minutes. I. Love riding the bus, but I changed my mind now.

 

[that's nice]

I recognize that!

You do? I can't remember the last time you stayed there Miss CSR.

I love both sets of decorations, but I think I favor Christmas just a tad more (but that could be because it is freshest in my mind).

I'm not sure which one I like more... I think I'd have to give a slight edge to the fall decorations.

Those are the same two that Mark and I had last year...they were a hoot.

Oh, they are out of their minds.... I like that.

She's more accustomed to them after her numerous trips.

You are right. The kid has been spoiled.

I never saw that book; I'll have to look for it in December.

I might just buy it the next time I see it....

I can't wait to see Princess Juliana all made up.

Sure you can.... what's another day or 2. I mean you've already waited 10 months.

Be careful what you write so certain eyes don't see "all" your plans.

She rarely reads the DIS... but if I post ALL the plans, she would probably stumble across it.

Great update!

Thanks!

Thank you Mari. I didn't realize this TR was even closed.

We always have a rental.... we visit family while we are there. We find it is easier to bus it to MK though. Then we don't have to deal with the tram and monorail.

 

[mommy2mrb]

guess there must be some surprises for your upcoming trip you aren't ready to share

cool you are getting MB & FP+, still waiting to hear if we do! different CM's are telling different people posting yes we are....no we aren't just want to know people

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

We walked right into MK and it looked a bit different than it did on Saturday with all the fall/Halloween decorations.

Amazing how fast they do that transformation!

We were there early enough to take a picture of the castle without anyone else in it!

Our first ride was Peter Pan then we crossed the street and walked onto everyone's favorite ride.

Why?

Say what you want about Small World, but watching my kids reaction is worth the price of admission. Juliana was seeing how Christopher liked it...

Ok, I'm going to trust Christopher's judgment over yours from now on.

 

[KatMark]

You do? I can't remember the last time you stayed there Miss CSR.

December of last year. Didn't you read Mark's 60th birthday TR and read of all the problems we had there?
