WOW, what a great Birthday.....and I your present. Was this the gift that Tim got you at Main Street Jewelers?

 

[tiggrbaby]

I LOVE the picture of the four of you in front of the castle! What a perfect shot for an enlargement or holiday card! The smiles, the matching shirts, the castle....it just screams magic and joy!

I am so glad that everything went so well for you, and I am grateful that you are taking the time to share your enjoyment with all of us. Thanks!!!

Awwwww Tim! Super job in b'day gift selection.

We also have an 8am ADR for CP and DH is hoping to get some great "empty" shots like yours.

Thanks again for sharing!

I waiting and hoping for you to post last night but I had to got to bed before I could read your TR but it was here this morning. What a great birthday treat having Magic Kingdom all to yourselves. Can't wait for part 2. This is making me want to start a trip report, I just need the time.

Can't wait to hear about your dinner at the Coral Reef! My DH and I will be eating there on our 3 year anniversary when we go with my family in Aug. I can't wait!! Thank you for another great installment!!

Another great installment! Fantastic pics on Main Street and w/the castle. We did the early morning Crystal Palace ADRs last trip, too, and loved how empty the streets were.

I love how Luke always has the "winky" eye in his pics from smiling so big, and lots of "thumbs up"s! I was so excited when I heard he got picked for Gaston. We go once a year, and my son was picked every year for four years! A great memory and lots of pics. (I'd share a few, but don't want to hijack!) I understand why he ducked out last minute. It is a bit overwhelming w/all eyes on you.

I could just feel how proud Lauren felt when she made the height requirement and got to ride BTMRR. You go, girl!

Glad you had the magical moment waking Tink. We never knew about that untl last year, and my son was too old by then...we wanted to let let a younger kid have the experience. Sounds like a magical start to your Bday. Can't wait to hear more!

I love the birthday necklace. This year I ccouldn't find matching shirts for us- seeing you picture is going ot have me making a trip to the Disney store- again.

Luke looked so cute waking up Tinker Bell! I am glad that you all made it there before everyone else.
MY DH is a lot like Tim. He enjoys making friends with all the CM's and the CM's love it when people talk to them. Also, that was a great idea to get the CM at Tinker Bell's Treasures in the picture.

I also LOVE that necklace that Tim got you! He has good taste! I am glad your birthday started out so wonderfully! I am looking forward to hearing how the rest of the day went!

 

[lovemy3girls]

Wow, what a great day so far! We've never gotten to MK early enough for those great pics. Love the matching shirts. I just ordered shirts for the 5 of us from disneystore.com- we've never done the matching shirts before, but I think its so cute. I'm gonna have to do some internet shopping before Sept, maybe I'll find some more. We have a Disney Store outlet about 45 min. away, I'll have to make a couple of trips out there. Where did you get your shirts? Looking forward to hearing about Coral Reef and your bday dinner!

 

[fterie4u]

I love your necklace, that is so cute! Your husband is so good to you! Your family is so cute! Thank you again for a great TR! Keep up the good work!!!

 

[Plantlady]

Crystal Palace in the AM is one of the things I tell my DH we need to do. We're not huge breakfast people.. but it would be well worth it, to get MK all to ourselves in the morning.

 

[momtoBrandon&Jacob]

OMG, I love that necklace that Tim got you! It's just my style . I love reading your TR. We stayed at POFQ a couple months ago and loved it as well. We were in building 5 - room 5129. It was very close to the pool, gift shop, food court, etc. I can't wait to read about Coral Reef. We ate there on our trip too and enjoyed it tremendously .

 

[punkin413]

your waking up tink story gave me goosebumps!!! that's so cool! i knew about it during our trip, but i didn't try because i'd feel silly taking that experience away from a little kid. after reading your TR, i now have to go talk to DH about having a kid just so we'd have the experience of waking up tink at disney world! that's a good enough reason to procreate, right????

 

[remfam5]

Lovin' your report!
Isn't it the BEST when you have so many magical memories!!

We had one of those trips when we went in 2005. Hoping that we get more pixie dust on our return trip in 2008!

Can't wait to hear about your dinner!

 

[ktturner]

I love the birthday necklace. This year I ccouldn't find matching shirts for us- seeing you picture is going ot have me making a trip to the Disney store- again.

Those are cute shirts, but if you have a hard time finding things, don't forget the DISigners section in this forum, there are lots of really neat shirt designs, and they walk you through how to make them! It's easy, and even personalized, for free (plus cost of transfer paper and shirt), but the design is free and really nice!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Lesley, you are such an interesting writer. Keep it up! Seems like you had a great birthday already, can't wait to hear how the rest went.

 

[VanniGirl]

What a great start to your birthday!! Love all the pictures. Looking forward to the rest.

 

[dddisrunner]

Lesley, Great update! So glad you had such a terrific start to your birthday! Love your necklace! So funny you and Tim keep one uping each other as far as great gifts go! LOVE that Luke and Lauren got to wake Tink! Isn't it funny how those small things bring sooo much more magic to the trip! We love talking to CM's too, they are a wealth of information! Can't wait to hear about Coral Reef hope you got a great table near the tanks!

Thanks for posting another update I feel like I'm there with you when I read your trippie! Oh well back to reality and the laundry. I'll be watching for more! Linda
