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

[JPFamilyMom]

What a great experience for Ally. So cute. I have two boys so will never get to experience BBB, but they now have a pirates one for boys, so we might do that.

Can't wait to see what happens next

 

[Charleston Princess]

How fun for Ally!!! She is so adorable with her princess make-over!!!

 

[IluvXU]

so darling... and how fun is it to be at MK before the park opens. I am sure your photopass pics are amazing!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Ally came out so beautiful!! Both girls are adorable in their princess dresses. I love the castle pics w/ the empty park. I really like the one of Ally outside the castle after the makeover.

Can't wait to hear who ya'll run into...

 

[mommytothreeboys]

Aww...that sounds like a fantastic experience at BBB for Ally. Every little girl deserves to be treated like a princess! She looks beautiful!

Amazing pics of an empty MK! Woo-Hoo!

So sorry about your photobook experience. What a shame that you got such poor customer service. I'm debating doing a digital book for this trip as well...haven't decided yet! I hope you are happy with your book from Shutterfly.

The pic of Claire "cheesin" for the camera is adorable!

Can't wait to hear more!

I am enjoying your adventure with your princesses. I have to enjoy it through others since I have 3 pirates However, my littlest pirate is taken with the princesses and wants to have breakfast with them when we go in August He says he will be the prince guy that the princesses like

 

[mom2mek]

Awww...she's so pretty! I'm so glad your BBB experience was very magical! We love the BBB! And I soooo love the Princess style (we got the Diva style when we went with the whole family - all 16 of us) and we had 6 kids at the BBB at one time - all the girls picked the DIVA! It's cute and all, but I really thought my girls would pick the princess one with the crown. Nope - fake hair it was!

So when we went back in October with a smaller group, I was able to persuade my girls to go for the princess style!

Glad you were able to keep her hair up like that for the week - I'm sure it made it a lot easier to deal with considering all the weather issues!!

All of your empty park pics are fabulous! I'm so glad it wasn't raining first thing that morning!

(How frustrating about your photobook.... I use the www.mypublisher.com site - it's fabulous! The books are really amazing! Same thing though - no cute Disney borders, but I use the really colorful design style that they have and it's pretty cute!)

I hope you make it to Dumbo!!!

[BellaSoleil]

Just precious! Can't wait to hear about the rest of your morning.

 

[tmkinney]

Great update! Love all the pics in front of the castle, early mornings are the BEST! The girls look so cute.

I read your post about the photobook and I wanted to tell you about a site called picaboo. Have you heard of it? I made a book with them and they do have disney backgrounds to choose from. For your first book, you can get a 50% off code too. I think you can add as many pages as you want, of course, its extra $, but the book originally comes with 20 pages, and they offer coupon codes all the time. Here is the link to the book I made if you are interested:

I got my book within 2 days of ordering it too, they are awesome!

Ally turned out even more beautiful
the photoshoot pictures will be awesome!!

Look! My youngest DD had the same lady almost two years ago in Oct. 2007. We were in the MK BBB the same month it opened at that location. At that time she did DD's nail and make-up.

Hi Becky,
Glad you had a great Anniversary weekend. Don't worry about being busy well wait for your updates. I haven't updated in a while either. Seems like there is still no spare time even though it's summer.

Thank you Nichole!! It was so nice to get away!!

Shutterfly looks like a good option. I may have to look into that.

You should! There seems to be a lot available!

Glad you had fun on your anniversary, that stinks about the photobook, good to know it advance, since I frequently use shutterfly already.
Can't wait to see the update

Thank you Jessica!! We had a great time!! It's nice to get away every once and awhile!

Our 10 year anniversary is next weekend and we are heading down to Nashville also. Joe mentioned maybe trying the Stockyard this year. We'll see. Glad you had a nice weekend. Can't wait for the next update.

Than you Missy!! It WAS a fantastic experience for Ally!! I wish they had had things like this when I was Ally's age! Yes, Claire is a total ham! I'm just glad she likes getting her picture taken now. She used to just sit and look at the camera with her mouth open!

Hi Sara!! Thank you sooo much!! Yes, Ally and I talked a lot about which hairstyle she would choose. Thankfully it was always the princess style!! Yes, the rain held off for awhile that morning--thank goodness!! Yeah--I hate that I have to start over on my Photobook but I think I'll be a lot happier with the outcome!

Just precious! Can't wait to hear about the rest of your morning.

Thank you Soleil! It was a very magical morning for us!!

Thanks for reading!!

Hi Becky!

I am so sorry about the page issue w/ your PhotoPass Book....that is really too bad. I am very happy with mine, but only wnet over the intial 20 by a few so that didn't happen to me.

I'm glad you are still getting your CD and can't wait to see those pic's. I would have been so mad too....so I feel your

I've made digital books on Shutterfly several times and have been very pleased w/ them. maybe you could add just a few Disney stickers to the pages after you get the book...

So to Disney!

Just love your BBB experience and Ally your dolled up Princess, I really hope to do that for my girls next Novemeber for their b-days and happy to hear the do stayed in that long, my Mae has very curly hair and if we do it it would be on her younger sister's b-day and hers is 3 days later, so that would be great if it lasted awhile.

She looks so cute and how sweet to include some pixie dust for Claire too.

Don't you just love getting to MK before everyone else? It makes it so much more magical to start your day that way!

I love all your pictures, very pretty.

Can't wait to hear about who you met and if you rode Dumbo!

Ps remind me did your TA make all those personal invites to the meals and BBB yes?

do you mind if I borrow that idea for my kids? thanks

Bad weather all over the country. Here in NJ, it isn't much fun either. I hope it clears up soon. Its ridiculous.

Thank you--yeah--it was very frustrating!! Do you know if you can upload your own backgrounds or use a picture as a background on Shutterfly?

Oh yes!! You HAVE to do BBB for your girls when you go next November!! It is worth every penny! Yes, getting into MK before the crowds was incredible!!

Oh--and my invitations were made by a DISigner in the Creative DIS section. there are LOTS of DISers who make them!! Check it out!!

Well it ended up raining the entire time we were down there!! But we still had a good time! Where do you live in NJ? I have family in Cherry Hill (dad's side) and my mom grew up in Cranford!

 

[mousescrapper]

Thank you--yeah--it was very frustrating!! Do you know if you can upload your own backgrounds or use a picture as a background on Shutterfly?

no I don't know, but you can certaintly upload any image you have. I know you can have a whole page be a single picture w/ no border which is very sharp.

On the collage section you can have a picture as a background and then smaller pictures on top...so maybe it can work in a photo book too. Never have tried that.

Thanks I will!
