This time our son is coming too! Final update at last!

[MeMom]

I've never seen Fantasmic. The idea of waiting with a 3 year old and a 1 year old does not appeal to me at this point.

As always, Declan is adorable!!

It is an awesome show, although some little kids are scared by the fire and the snake, and some of it may be a little intense. The good guys triumph in the end, though, and the big white boat comes out with a ton of Disney characters waving and walking around on the deck.

Whenever your kids are older and you do see it, you'll want to get there early enough to get near the middle, because on the extreme sides you can't see the water screens well enough to know what they are. The stadium is huge. It holds thousands of people, but it fills up quickly on a regular basis.

This will be a quick update. Still much packing left to be done, have to go see a friend who is moving and I need to iron a few more things so...

One week from today, I wil be flashing back to "Year of a Million Dreams" as I get to have one of my Disney wishes come true- BREAKFAST WITH MARY POPPINS!


The newbies will be taking their girls to Askerhus for a Princess Breakfast.

How early did you go?

I think we got in line a little after nine, because they said they would open at ten for the ten-thirty show. We were near the front, right at the bend in the concrete seating/planter area. When they dropped the rope, people from our side, the opposite side, and the middle flooded in. Baby steps for a long way! If we had returned at ten, as the CM was telling people earlier ("Don't come back until ten. Everyone will get a seat."), we would have been on the far, far side and would not have been able to see the water screens very well.

Thanks for the news. The first time we saw the show we were at the far left end. It was much better last year when we were near the center.

Thanks for the info. MeMom. I think my DS would be scared of the loud noises. Also, my DH would never wait in line that long...well maybe if he had his IPhone and I watched the kids he would.

Some people are waking up in Disney World this morning...


and some people are waking up to the first day of classes with kids.

Dancers seem to be missing for the latter group.

Hope you guys are having a great time!

I wish Brooklynn had told us a few days earlier about her desire for a Bruce, and I would have gotten you guys to mail us one. She just came up with this yesterday! I think we're going to try Disney Merchandising today to see if we can get one up here by party time Saturday.

Hope you get to hook up with Nicole and David for a few minutes sometime this weekend!
