Tim and Lesley Year of Million Compromises/TONS pics- 8/5 help me pg. 164!!!

Yay, two installments today. I am glad I got to at least day 4 of your TR. We leave on Saturday and I guess I will have to wait till we get back to read the rest. Thanks for the happy disney thoughts before we go.
 
Great TR so far!!! Congrats on the Dream Fast Passes!!!! I'm so jealous and only wish we could be going this year instead of next!!!!! Can't wait for more!!
 
I am loving your trip report. You just seem like the perfect family.

I wanted to ask, because I am also from the Cincinnati area (up in Butler county). Is your friend who is the fighter, Rich, a teacher in Reading? I used to teach there (also went to school there) and I was talking to one of my friends and she said a teacher there is now also a professional fighter. Just thought it would be a funny coincidence if it was the same person.

Anyway, can't wait to hear more about your trip.
 
Yaaay awesome chapter as usual, im hoping for one of those babies!! On my recent trip with a friend, a guy offered us his dream fastpass inside the tree of life because he was leaving, but we were leaving too and he had already used EE and dinosaur :( lol i hope i get another chance!
 

When I read about the "sorry bout your luck text" I thought oh no he didn't, then when he turned his back on you, I was up in arms, how could he go from perfect to jerk in a day? ......But he was tricking you, ok, he's forgiven, it was very thoughtful of him to ask the dream team for 2 extra passes. I guess he tricked us all for a second. (Good one Tim)

I saw the picture of the crowd and about fainted. Sorry about RnR being closed. I hope you eventually got to ride it.
 
Boy I wish Darlene was brave like Lauren, because Darlene won't go on T.O.T. Sounds like Tim either is very lucky or he has a guarding angel look out for him.
 
Great installment. We saw a couple different families at different parks with the Dream Fastpasses on. Our kids got Dream Mickey Ears at the American Pavilion in Epcot, but I was inside ordering lunch. I'm still not sure how it all went down. :confused3

It's a good thing we're heading home to visit family for the next week because I wouldn't be able to stand missing out on more installments this weekend while you're camping. Now I'll hopefully have a couple more days of your trip report to greet me when I return next Saturday. Looks like the weather should be good for you if you're staying in the Cincy area.
 
Great installment - Dream Fastpasses - KEWL!!

I kept thinking - Tim could not be cruel like that :)

Have a great weekend!!
 
Time to sub - read last years and just happened acroos this years. We're neighbors - sort of - maybe I'll see you at Kenwood Mall or something!

Keep up the fun report!
 
OMG How awesome is that Lesley!!!! My dream is to get Dream Fast Passes! I will pray the whole way down in November. Love the pics, all of you look ELATED!!!!
 
OMG!! Those pics of the stormtroopers and Darth Vader are awesome! I showed DH and he was all smiles. Love the "I'm not wearing any pants" comment.

That pic of Tim on the pole is hilarious! :rotfl:

How cool that Tim & Luke won the dream fastpasses!

:thumbsup2
I'm telling you, that doesn't even begin to show how cool Star Wars Weekends is, the characters are literally around EVERY corner, Luke, Leah, Emperor, Darth Vader, C3P0, Ewoks, etc. etc. The "I'm not wearing any pants" had me in hysterics, you just weren't expecting it.
Lesley

Dream Fast Passes!!!! :banana: :banana:

DD5 has not been on TOT and we are trying to decide if she can do it in September. She is scared of the dark...what are your thoughts??:confused3

Awesome report!!! KEEP IT UP!
Well, it depends. We explained very clearly to Lauren what would happen so she wouldn't be scared, we told her it was all pretend/silly. We held her in the prep room and I held her hand the entire ride and whispered in her ear what would happen next. If you think that would help your daughter then go for it, if not, then pass.
Lesley

What a very cool dream!!!!! If we could only be so lucky. I would have killed my husband for doing that to me. You must be a very nice person. :rotfl: I cant believe Lauren got on TOT! She is an awesome kiddo. My little man will only be 35 months (almost 3) so all the cool stuff is a no go until next year probably. But you have given me hope for next year. LOL. Thanks for the great installment!!!
Believe me, I was close to killing him! Meanwhile he was calling his entire family telling them how mad I was and that he couldn't wait to see me to give me the dream FP, cruel cruel cruel!!!

Really enjoying your TR!! Congrats on the Dream Fast Passes, very cool! We loved Lights, Motot, Action too, my son went NUTS for it! You are a fabulous writer, and thank you for sharing all your pics too!! Your children are adorable!!
I know, that is the best show. Glad you are enjoying it.

Actually, Rich used to be a math teacher in Oak Hills, BUT his wife who we are also friends with is an English Teacher for Reading schools, maybe that is the coinsidence.

You turned it down!!!! I would have taken it and stayed!!!! You still had Kali, the Safari, Tough to be a Bug, etc.

That is so funny, yes, he sure did trick us didn't he!

Oh believe me, normally Tim is never this lucky so he had a guardian angel looking out for him this trip.
dream fastpasses... how awesome...
I know, we were thrilled.

Cool that your family won ears. We'll be back online Monday. Heading to Indiana for camping but weather is supposed to be good!

Oh Tim had me guessing too. ;)

Funny, small world. Maybe, we hit Kenwood a lot.

OMG How awesome is that Lesley!!!! My dream is to get Dream Fast Passes! I will pray the whole way down in November. Love the pics, all of you look ELATED!!!!
I pray you get them too!
 
When my husband and I where in Disney in June I saw people walking with the Dream fast passes but had no idea what they where. How awesome is that to get fast passes for all the rides! We only went to Epcot while we where there for our adult only long weekend and only got to do soaring and had to wait on line for two hours because all the fast passes where gone. That was a ride I really wanted to do and had never been able to and it was air conditioned and since we had no kids with us we really didn't mind waiting. That's great that Lauren went on Tower of Terror! I am hoping our next trip with the kids (Nov. 2008) they will want to go on all those rides.

I can't wait to hear more!
 
I am so glad to hear Tim asked for the Dream Fast Passes for you and Lauren. While we were in Disney my DH took my 2 older boys to MGM, we had all been there already, while I took the 2 year old to MK. When they got off of Star Tours, they were awarded Dream Fast Passes. My DH did NOT get one for me. I was happy for them and it didn't really matter that he didn't get me one as I wasn't doing MGM with them at all. Although I said if he HAD gotten me one I would have left MK and went to MGM but oh well. They still make a great souvenier.
 
So, so happy for you all!! :goodvibes

POFQ is so pretty... I think its my favorite moderate resort! Love the funny "street" names.... "Rue da Baga", "Rue da Blues", etc. !!

I'm doing the happy Snoopy dance for you! So cool about the dream fast passes! I guess Tim and I have the same sense of humor. I had a feeling he was kidding when he wouldn't even let you look at his dream fast pass. ;) Of couse, I would have reacted the same way you did too--that's why it's so funny.:lmao:


I love all your pictures! One of these days, I will have some kids so I can take them to Disney. Disney is fun without kids, but I bet it is more magical with kids.


Hope you have fun camping!
 
HOW EXCITING!!

We got DFP at Epcot as dh and the 2 little ones were getting off of Living with the Land (the older 2 and I were getting off of Soarin'). It was very exciting and everyone just kept asking how we got them, etc... I felt like a celebrity! lol.

Anyway, congrats on your DFP! Your vacation just keeps getting better and better by the day! Can't wait to hear about dinner and DTD!

Wanted to add that I'm so jealous that your kiddos will go on T-O-T. my 2 older boys chickened out at the last minute. I know if they rode it they'd love it. I've gotta figure out a way to get them on it next year!
 
Woohoo, congrats on the fast passes!! We didn't win those, but a nice lady gave us her leftover strip of FP's at MK one day. (They were some sort of special ones, I don't know why she got them.) But it was SO nice having those, they really impact the day.

I love your POFQ pictures. We stayed there 3 times before we became DVC members. We still love it and miss staying there!! :goodvibes
