Timandlesley’s how to win a dream in 10 days 11/15 NEW PTR UP!! pg. 94 has link!!!

[ampc3]

Wow another wonderful update! ok let me just start off by saying ... it isn't fair, it isn't fair!!! We didn't see the dream team all week!! So lucky and cool to be awarded all those "dreams" very cool about the royal family!

Luke is such a good brother, love all those pictures together.. So sorry to hear of the unfortunate events with the ME bus, did Tim ever write the letter and did you ever hear back ??

I am so glad we got to meet this trip, and your family is just as lovely in person! to bad we didn't have more time, Tim and my DH would have really hit it off I think. I can't wait to hear all about your DVC planning etc... don't forget to come back and tell that story!

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!
What a wonderful way to end your trip, even with the ME mishap!

Looking forward to reading your 2009 Pre-Trip report? Starting that soon???

 

[jake&samsmom]

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for "bringing us along" on your trip.

I always looked forward to reading updates from you everytime I logged on to the Dis.

I am so sad that we are here, at the end of your trip; I am feeling the same sadness I feel on my trip's last day too!

I am so very happy, on the other hand, that there will be many more TR's from Timandlesley in the future. Hope you start your PTR for next year's 17 day trip soon!

God bless your lovely family!

Thank you for sharing your amazing trip report with us!

You have such a beautiful family and it was so fun to relive the vacation with you.

I'm so sad it's over, but looking forward to the next one!

 

[AussieAngel]

Oh noooo, the end of your fantastic trip report!!

But what a great trip it was! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

What a disaster your Magical Express journey was! I think it convinced me to find another way to the airport. I'm always nervous about making flights anyway, and since we'll be flying from Orlando to LA, then straight back home to Australia, we can't afford to miss our plane!! Wah!!

Anyway, THANKYOU for your fabulous trip report!! Can't wait for the next one!

Hi Lesley & Family
What a wonderful TR!!!!

I must share that we have a Mickey at our house also. He was a suprise Christmas gift in 2005. He is a cockapoo and so sweet and loving...although sometimes he is NUTS!!! We laugh and say he sould be Tigger because he likes to jump. Here is his picture...

Your kids are sooooo cute. Lauren reminds me of my DD at that age, always striking a pose for the camera. Love the way they held hands...so sweet. It looks like you guys had a wonderful vacation.

BTW, Congrats on the DVC... WOW!! 17 days at Disney is a dream come true. Imagine all the planning..oh what fun!

Thanks so much for sharing your family with us.

i've gotten to where i'm refusing to be sad at the end of trips because i know i'll be back.....that's what i keep telling myself anyway!

Here are the kids (Lauren’s doing a cartwheel I think) at the bus stop:

oh how i wish i could do cartwheels at 7:30 in the morning!!!

We got to the park right around 8 o’clock and grabbed a stroller, Tim made this sign for our stroller:

that's great!

i have a bumper sticker on my car that says, "got disney world?" here's a pic of me and my brother where you can see it. got it on ebay for like $3! (just so you know, that's not white spray paint on my car - i marked out the tag number with my editing program!)

Well………… his charm worked because next thing you knew we were selected AS THE ROYAL FAMILY OF THE DAY AT MAGIC KINGDOM!!!!

so cool!!!!!!!!! maybe it's kharma since tim told the little tink fan about waking her up at tink's treasures!

After we were announced they took this picture of us, we were on cloud nine!!!

look at lauren posing!!! you know, i've always thought lauren reminded me of someone and yesterday i realized who. i was flipping channels and i passed the show "7th heaven" and she could be the twin of one of the little girls, ruthie! check it out.......

lauren is cuter, of course!

i just love fantasyland first thing in the morning!!! it seems like you can get so much done there if you hit it first thing. glad you guys got to finally ride snow white. it's a classic and i just love it!

When we exited the picture area we WERE SO THRILLED TO SEE THE DREAM SQUAD THERE

WOW!!!! what a great morning!

I thought it was cool how they had this guy playing the piano outside, gotta love the small touches everywhere that Disney throws in

we saw this guy last year and he was awesome.....really loved his job!

Luke didn’t want to let go, he didn’t want to loose her again, they remained hand in hand towards the boat dock:

so sweet!!!

how crappy about your ME experience! you'd think they would have the drivers fully trained before they let them out on their own. i'm sure that's a complicated job and takes a good bit of training. it's just so awful that you guys had to deal with that on your last day!

 

[disneyfav4ever]

Great TR! It's a shame it had to end on such a sour note.

 

[tmkinney]

So sad your TR is over!!!! But what a great last day!!! If anyone deserves Royal Family, it is definitely you guys! Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us! Already looking forward to next year's TR.

I can't believe the Magical Express situation! How stressful! Glad everything turned out okay though.

What am I going to do at work now with all these great TR's coming to an end?? Do I have to actually work now?!

[sharonW]

WOW...what another AMAZING trip!!
The last day is so miserable but you had some
very good "highs" on that final day, minus those
ME nightmares!YIKES Please keep us
posted on your upcoming diz adventure plans,
there would be a BIG void if you don't stick
around and keep us updated!

 

[Charleston Princess]

What a magical morning at the Magic Kingdom!

I was all teary-eyed reading about and seeing your pics as you left the park -- leaving is always so sad -- even when it is someone else!

Thanks for sharing your trip with us -- it was great!

Hi Lesley and Tim,

I have been following your trip report and I'm soo sad that it is over. I love tuning in to read your next installment. You are an absolutely gorgeous family ( both in looks and nature!LOL)! Luke and Lauren are just little darlings and they are a real credit to you both. Luke really does look after his little sister doesn't he? Which is just soo sweet to see.

What a fabulous end to an amazing trip being picked to be the Royal family for the day! And you really are just lovely people - getting ice cream for those little boys like you did - you would have really made that little family's day i'm sure!

I hope we bump into a family as sweet as you guys while we are on our first trip to WDW in November!

SOrry about your ME ending - but I wouldn't let it spoil the amazing time you quite obviously had together!

I can't wait to read more about your families adventures in WDW when you go next!

Take care

So sad it's over, but you do have another to look forward too. Time should pass quickly with the kids starting school soon and a new puppy to take care of. Thank you for letting all of come a long and enjoy your family. Take care and hope to hear a PTR from you when the time comes.

 

[Lil'DisneyMom]

What a perfect last day you guys had (besides the ME experience). Awesome Dream Ears and Royal Family. I always get so sad when we have to leave. Your heart just sinks. Thanks for the great TR. We will be watching for the next Pre Tr!!

 

[Blessed_wth_Triplets]

WOW! What a WONDERFUL last day!! Disney memories are the best...thanks for sharing yours with us! And now that you have DVC..you HAVE to go every year...he he

** and OMG, OMG!!! Lauren looks EXACTLY like the girl from 7th heaven!!! That is CRAZY!!!

 

[CRSNDSNY]

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I can't believe your ending??!!!

See, God was shining down on your during your day in the MK because he knew what was ahead of you with the ME!!!!!

Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us. It was a blast to read. Can't wait to hear about your DVC adventures!

 

[trixiequilts]

you know, i've always thought lauren reminded me of someone and yesterday i realized who. i was flipping channels and i passed the show "7th heaven" and she could be the twin of one of the little girls, ruthie! check it out.......

THANK YOU PUNKIN! It's been driving me absolutely batty everytime I saw Lauren. I knew she reminded me of someone, but I just couldn't figure out who. Finally my brain can relax!!!

 

[k_reile]

uh...if it was her second day on the job...shouldn't she have had a trainer with her?? That was not smart on Disneys Part or mears or whoever opperates the Magical Express.

 

[4boysrus]

Can't believe it's over. But it was a great one (like always). Thanks for taking us along, and I look forward to many more wonderful Tim & Lesley TR's!

Congrats on winning all the dreams on your last day. What a way to end a trip!!

 

[disneyfav4ever]

Lauren does look a lot like Ruthie. I used to watch that show all the time.
