What a lovely FD! Can't wait to hear how they enjoyed the Segway tour.​

 

[Spartangirl]

What a special Father's Day! Your kids are so sweet....coming up with those ideas on their own? Wow! The Segway Tour was a great gift...can't wait to hear about that experience! My DH and I are going to be going on a Segway Tour on our upcoming trip...

Luke was such a good sport when being chosen to participate in the show!

Love Lauren's self-portrait!

Sounds like you had a great morning at DHS!!!

I woke up before everyone else (around 9:30 if I recall)

Hooray for sleeping in! Good for you guys!

I gave Tim his card which revealed that HE WAS GOING ON A SEGWAY TOUR AROUND WORLD SHOWCASE TOMORROW!!!!! I informed him he would be going on the tour with Bryan.

You are a GREAT wife! What an AWESOME surprise!!!

(don’t Lauren’s braids look cute)

There was this really nice young couple who approached Tim and Luke explaining that they were leaving that day and they didn’t want their arcade card to go to waste so they gave it to Luke, sooooo nice!

You guys had some seriously fine Disney mojo going on this day!

The nice CM explained that to me and helped me apply the vouchers to renew our annual passes, it was close to a 300 dollar savings. We were each given a Volunt”ear” button to wear for the day:

I remember the drama of your volunt'ear' day... I'm so glad it was all worth it!!

Well I was THRILLED when Luke got pulled up to BE in the show!!!

What is it about that kid? He gets picked for lots of stuff. Have you considered taking him to a Disney Channel casting call?! Love the video, too!

(Luke thought it was torture)

I can feel his pain!

 

[Sooze]

As always, I really enjoyed this show. Check out some of the pics from it (wish I had my good camera)

You got some great shots! Just love that show, too. Glad the storm didn't affect it.

Who can resist the marbles??

Not me!

The new ride add on’s were great (not going to spoil it for you but it involves your own image)

Gah! I have to wait another YEAR to find out about it. Sure hope they still have the add ons when I get there!

 

[Sooze]

I went in with low hopes thinking we wouldn’t get anything in because of our late arrival but it was our best Hollywood studios day in a while

So happy that Tim picked a great park and you got to do all of your favorite things that day!

Then when we got up to the room my SWEET kids totally on their own decided they wanted to give Tim “rubs” for Father’s Day.

Oh my goodness.. that is SO sweet! You have such wonderful children!


Awesome update, Lesley!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Aw! How very sweet of the kids! I bet you were a very proud Momma during all that!

What a fantastic Father's Day - lots of fun at DHS, great times with the family and a massage.

I look forward to Tim's review of the Segway Tour! We did that years ago and LOVED it, I hope he did too!

 

[Trentmom]

Yay for sleeping in

Sounds like you still got quite a lot done.

Your kids are so sweet


Can't wait to hear about Tim and Bryan's adventure on the segway..should be interesting

 

[RunningGirl]

Sounds like Tim had a great Father's Day. I can't believe you got so lucky with the crowd levels at DHS! It seems like every time we go there it's Brazilian Tour Group day.

I can't wait to hear about the Segway tour!

 

[DevonsDisneyMom]

What a great update!!! I'm sure Tim was so excited about his father's day gift! how Cool! We are turning in our vouchers for Give a Day Get a Day next month! I hope we get cute little pins to wear!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I can't believe how much you got done for sleeping in! Major mojo happening especially when you waited 45 min for TSM! So cool that you met the Disney history guy in line! We met the very first DVC members on our cruise last month. It's true, if you are nice to people, you never know who you might end up talking to!

 

[cdotla]

Great updates!

Sounds like a fun meal once again at O'Hanas...too bad for that poor service though. But that line about "You want some HOT TOWELS???"....too funny!!!

What a great day at HS! Sounds like a perfect Father's Day!

And finally....HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

 

[thechesters420]

Loved the update!

 

[teedee]

I'm impressed with how much you got done not being there at rope drop! And what sweet kids! That was so nice of them to take care of their dad like that.

I know!! I was wondering that too!

 

[CRSNDSNY]

My kids LOVE playing with the instruments in the AKL gift shop.

 

[Happydog]

Hey that is a great way to spend Father's Day! Sounds like you all enjoyed your DHS morning for sure! And how fun for your young man to be part of the entertainment! Very cool! The different performers are so much fun.

Hi Lesley! I just stumbled on your new trip report and what a nice surprise! As many other faithful readers and DISers have stated...your trip reports are a real treat to read! You have a truly beautiful family and it's so refreshing! I showed my DS (almost 7) the Nick Hotel pictures and he has NOT stopped talking about it! He is a big Spongebob fan and thought everything was so cool! Are you able to request a certain suite (such as Spongebob)? I think we'll add this to the plans one year when we decide to throw in a visit to see Harry Potter and Universal Studios....

I also enjoyed your tribute to Tim - how very sweet! You said everything beautifully. We had our 13 year anniversary this year and I was just telling my DH that we should plan a trip to Italy for our 15 year anniversary. He's always wanted to go there and I used to live there (high school) so I'd love to bring him. We'll see...

Thanks for sharing with us and Happy Anniversary!

First of all, let me say CONGRATULATIONS to you and Tim! In these times, that is quite a feat to be married twelve years, and still in love with each other.
What nice kids you have! They really love their daddy.
