"This Isn't Disneyworld. . .It's Rainworld!!" our trip to WDW May 16-23, 2009

[ladybugmom]

I'll let everyone know when the TR is done. It is going to be a good one. The first night DS(1) was up from 3am-4:30am. Me and DW got up several times. I put him in the car and drove allover Disney Property(mainly World Drive). The castle is very pretty inside and out. We was very fortunate to be able to eat there. I checked with the information desk at the entrance of the MK to see if there was availability and there was at 9pm that night. Someone had cancelled; they said that people booked 180 in advanced and it is rare to have an opening. We was excited to get in and to be able to eat there.

WOW!! How lucky that you were able to eat there!! That's wonderful!!

Still reading! I started my own TR - check it out if you get a chance

Thanks for the link to your TR!! Can't wait to check it out!!

Hi Becky. I haven't been on since July and i just caught up on your TR that last picture of Claire in her Jasmine shirt is tooo cute! I love your pictures from GF! So glad I caught up

How have you been?! Welcome back!! You haven't missed a whole lot--I've been so busy and all!!

YAY!! Thanks for the link!!

Oh my goodness. I have missed your TR updates for some crazy reason?! LOVE all the pics!! Seemed like an amazing day

I especially like the one with the camel spitting on Ally and Brent
So priceless!

GF was amazing! Hope you stay there next

Also, we STILL have not gone to see Toy Story 3D!! For some reason, our town did not have it at the theater, so we will need to drive a while to go see it. Toy Story 3 will be amazing! Love Ally's t shirt from Justice!!

Thanks Katie!! Yes, it WAS an amazing day for sure!! Girl--you NEED to find a town close to you that's playing it!! It was sooo much fun to see both movies in 3D!!!

I have 2 links to share with my DIS friends!! 1 good and 1 bad! I'll start with the bad. Did you hear that you can no longer preorder your Photopass cd for $99?!?! Check out this thread here on the DIS: http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2310538

Here is a link to website that compiles the Disney Parks TV listings weekly. This is a list of upcoming TV shows highlighting our favorite theme parks. This page is updated on Sunday evenings. Plus there is a link to a Yahoo group that you can join that will send you reminder e-mails each week with the listings!! http://www.bartlett-sloan.net/tv/agenda.php3?modeagenda=soon

We've had a busy but fun weekend!! My parents were in town visiting during their Fall Break. Friday we went and all ate lunch with Ally at school (took her McD's!!). Then yesterday we went to a pumpkin patch and then to our town's Harvest Festival!! I hope to post pics soon (I took a lot--shocker, huh?!). Then today was church--Brent and I sang a duet tonight--"Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"! I hope everyone had a nice and restful weekend!!

Oh, I really like the tv listings link -- how cool! Thanks for sharing, Becky!

It does sound like you had a very busy weekend -- but lots of fun! Can't wait to see the pictures!

I didn't realize you sang! How awesome! (I can't carry a tune to save my life! )

You're very welcome! Yes, I've been singing all of my life. I almost majored in music in college--even got a vocal scholarship--but decided to stick with Elementary Education instead! A music degree is somewhat limiting.

Becky! Good morning!! What a GREAT website on TV listings. I have always wondered if there was anything like that available. I scan the travel channel every now and then, but it is always the same ole same ole. Excited to watch the FLN show!

Also, can't wait to see pics from the weekend. Sounds like a great one

I can not believe that about the Photopass CD!!! I did not know about it last year, so I was hoping to use it this year

Take care!

Good morning Katie!! I know--I was sooo excited when I found this link!! Now I just need to upgrade my TV channels! We don't get FLN. I know--I was sooo disappointed when I read about Photopass! We LOVED the PP pics and cd we got from our trip in May!

I have been good. How have you and your girls been? They are so precious my niece is a couple months older than Claire, they are so cute when they're little

 

[beyondblessed]

Hi Becky - I was just doing a little research on what sitcoms have featured Disney (Full House, Roseanne, Family Matters, etc.). We have Full House on DVD but I want to try to get my hands on the others. I can't wait to add the listings from the site you posted to my list.

Also, I RAN (the very next day) to Justice to try to find the shirt you got for Ally - no luck! Our store did not have them and I couldn't find them online either! I'm going to keep trying! Ally looks so cute in it!

And finally, Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone) is my all time favorite song. It is so moving and powerful and contains my favorite line from the classic we all know:

How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed!!!

Do you have the Chris Tomlin CD with the "extras"? He talks about the original verse that was written (and left off the classic version we all know) that he added back. Aww, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE that song! I get goosebumps just thinking about it! I wish I could have been there to hear you and your hubby sing it!!!

 

[leamom2princesses]

Hi Becky! Love the pics from Toy Story day and thanks for the link to the shows. I need to see if we get FLN. We get a bajillion channels but only watch one or two: Disney Channel and Disney XD.

Mary and I have started our May PTR's. Can't wait to plan with you again!

 

[BippityBoo]

Oooohhh Becky, see! They started their May Pre Trip Reports! Your turn

Can't wait to see what you are planning! Always look forward to your good ideas

 

[ThePin Princess]

I wanted to add something.. I love that song Legacy on your blog spot! It's so good!

We have been good but soooo very busy!! Ally is LOVING Kindergarten and I'm the room mom for her class. I also volunteer twice a week in her classroom. It's a lot of fun!

I'm so sorry that they didn't have that Mickey shirt! I got Ally's in Birmingham and haven't even been to our store here in Memphis. I hope you can find it!

I love the song, too! I love what Chris Tomlin did with that classic hymn! I do not have that Chris Tomlin cd--I'll have to check it out.

Thanks Leanne!! No problem!! What is Disney XD? Oooh--you've started!! Off to check them out!! I will start mine as soon as I wrap up this TR!

Oooohhh Becky, see! They started their May Pre Trip Reports! Your turn

Can't wait to see what you are planning! Always look forward to your good ideas

I know!! I MUST finish up this TR before I start another PTR!!

I wanted to add something.. I love that song Legacy on your blog spot! It's so good!

Thank you!! I love it, too and it's my prayer that I can be that legacy for my girls.

Hi Becky!

Just checking in!!!

Hi Kristen!! I'm enjoying your TR!!

Becky,

Great pictures, looks like you all had an awesome time. Seeing the Grand Floridian in person was on my to do list, but didn't get a chance to see it yet. It is so surreal looking at the MK pictures because we was in the exact same spots at times less than two weeks ago. I sat in front of the exact same railing that your DH and DD was sitting on. Thanks for sharing, it definately brought back good memories.

Thank you!! It was actually the first time I shopped in Justice for Ally (I had forgotten that their sizes start at a 6--Ally wears some 6s and 7s now). We were in Birmingham, AL shopping on Monday and I decided to check it out. Glad I did b/c the entire store was 40% off!! I got Ally 2 pairs of jeans, the Mickey shirt, and 2 BAMA shirts!! How do you get coupons in the mail? Is it something you have to sign up for to get on their mailing list? We have a Justice about 10 minutes from our house!

Honestly, I don't know how I got on their list. I do know they always ask the birthday of the girl you are shopping for (we always get a 40% off card good for the whole month of their birthdays), but I really don't know how they know where to send it. I've given my phone number, they must look it up by that. I'm sure you could go on their website and sign up as well.

We've had a busy but fun weekend!! My parents were in town visiting during their Fall Break. Friday we went and all ate lunch with Ally at school (took her McD's!!). Then yesterday we went to a pumpkin patch and then to our town's Harvest Festival!! I hope to post pics soon (I took a lot--shocker, huh?!). Then today was church--Brent and I sang a duet tonight--"Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"! I hope everyone had a nice and restful weekend!!

Don't you just love fall!

How cool is it that you guys get to sing together. My hubby is a great singer, and he plays guitar in the praise band at our church, but I cannot hold a tune in a bucket!

You MUST go see the GF on your next trip!! It is even more amazing in person!!

I DO love fall!! There is so many fun things to do--especially with each of the holidays!! Yes, I can't imagine being married to someone that can't sing since vocal music is such a huge part of my life!! I love being able to harmonize with my hubby!!

Do you sell the bows that you make? I'd be really interested- thanks!

Hi becky,
Thanks for posting the link for disney shows. I'll be sure to watch the little couple. Did you see the episode of jon and kate plus 8 when they went to Disney?
Have a nice weekend.

I also loved Toy Story 3D. It was great. Though it did give me a little headache hehe
