Great update!! That was great that you got to use fastpasses on a different day. I did not think they allowed that. Maybe because of summer crowds??
Dole Whip-Yumm!!!
That was too bad about the girls getting chosen to open Toontown & not the boys
. They have so much for girls as it is. Glad you had 2 rides on Barnstormer.
No, just a little secret about the FPs, depends on the CM. I know, they need more stuff for boys.
Awesome updates!! I actually had to read 3 of them to catch up!! lol
Glad you enjoyed them!
I totally agree with you about the boy thing!!! Poor Luke! But, I'm glad the 2 rides in a row on Barnstormer helped.
I love your story about him and Minnie when he was little! How adorable!!! I'm sure in many ways that moment feels like just yesterday.
And I have to ask, what all does your shirt say? I see "Respect your Mother, Honor your Mother" etc. Where did you get it? I like!
It is a shirt Tim gave me for Mother's Day several years ago, I love that shirt! It says something like "respect your mother, honor your mother, protect your mother,love your mother, call your mother. , LOVE that shirt!
Yay for riding Barnstormer twice!!!
I wish I had a Dole Whip right now!
Me too!
Sounds like a great morning
Bummer on the princesses opening up Toon Town. I am so tired of girls getting everything
But glad he got to ride Barnstormers twice...that was cool at least
Their spin art came out nice at the pool
Forgot. I could totally see the Step mother was a dude ...that is freaky
Glad you enjoyed the update, I know, it was weird!
Hi tim and Lesley, I am way back in this trip report, I just read the part where Luke offered the boy any pin off of his lanyard for the pin that Lauren wanted. That was the sweetest thing ever and coming from such a young boy, he clearly loves his sister and is a true gentleman.
Lauren is a cute little girl and so full of life. I can't wait to have kids and take them to disney world.
Hi, thanks for the Luke compliment, he does love his sister : ) You will have a blast with your future kids in Disney!
AOhhh I can't wait for a Dole Whip.....
Great pictures....you captured every aspect of your day....love it
Dole whips............ yum!
Another GREAT update! our trip is nov 3-9
and we scored FREE dinning, long story but
got some pixie dust!! WOOHOO!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. We are there 11-14th, can't get free dining due to DVC but still a good deal.
Another great day! I think your TR has convinced me that I must try a Dole Whip
Yes, TRY ONE!
All caught up! I loved little miss Kimodo! so Cute! You got some fun character interaction at Epcot. I loved your laid back day to do whatever - we have to build more of those in. I didn't know they would honor FP from a previous day! Too Cool! I hope I can get DH to go along with that - he's a stickler for THE RULES~ I can't believe you are already on your last park day
Glad you enjoyed it. I'm not a rule stickler : )
2 rope drops in one day! good for you! its too bad your son didnt get chosen though... at least he got to ride the barnstormer twice in a row!
Wow its great you got to use fastpasses for all the mountains at once even though they were from the other day!
Love rope drops. : )
Mmmmm! Love Dole Whip Floats!!!!
MMMMMMMMMM indeed!
What a great Magic Kingdom morning. I have never tried to use FP that were from a previous day. I am glad you got to ride all the mountains on your last day. That is great.
I'm happy we were able to as well, made for a great last day!
Less than a month until I'll be sipping on a Dole whip, I just can't wait, I love those things! Yours looked very yummy!
Terri
YUM! Enjoy!
Love the report-- I have been reading it all day! Can't wait to see the fast pass pics!
So glad you are enjoying it, thanks for reading/posting
mmmmmmDole Whip!!!
Have you worked the expired fast passes that way before? Crazy, I have actually thrown them away at the end of the night thinking they would be no good.
Yes, we've done it before : )
Sounds like you had a great MK day! Didn't realize you could use old FPs-will keep that in mind in the future. My husband and I are going on a spur of the moment trip in November. We are staying at SSR for the first time! We will be there the 11-15th. Can't wait! Looking forward to reading about the rest of your trip.
It was a great day. We are there the 11-14th, if you see us say hello : )
Phew! All caught up!
Sounds like an awesome time in NY. If there is a place in this world that has more to do than Disney, it is NY. I never feel I have enough time there!
What a great idea to send the kids to the Kids Club and enjoy a nice meal at Jiko with Diane and Bryan. I agree with you...it is one of the best places on property. (Although California Grill is still my favourite.)
Funny that Goofy wasn't out to ride when you were there....he wasn't out in May when we were there either. Poor Luke...I bet he wld have been picked for sure with that hat!
So sad to hear your trip is coming to an end...can't wait to hear about your last evening meal. And as you say, there are plenty more Disney trips in your future!
Glad you are caught up, yes we had a great trip to NY with them and in Disney. I need to try California Grill. That's the first time we've been to rope drop in Toontown and Goofy wasn't there, oh well.
I was gone for a week and you went crazy with the posts! What a wonderful trip all the way around! It is always just so much fun to see your family enjoy each other and their activities so much. You have a great family vibe. And double fun to have another nice family to share it with. Enjoyed the pictures from the East coast trip too. I just love Luke in that Goofy hat! He is adorable, and of course Lauren always takes wonderful pictures. They really are growing up quickly! I hope Tim won the contest - let us know.
Yes, had to get them done, back to work for me tomorrow. Glad you enjoyed the updates. Tim did win the contest, thanks for your votes EVERYONE! : )
Ah, it's always a little sad when it is your last full day at Disney, but it looks like you crammed a whole lot of fun into that day!
The picture of the kids with Chip and Dale and Stitch turned out really cute!
Poor Luke! I would have been a little disappointed, too, at the Toontown rope drop, but hurray for riding Barnstormer twice!
Lauren strutting and dancing as she walked with Tim cracked me up!!!
Woo hoo for riding all three mountains!!! What does Stacy call it -- The Triple Mountain Whammy!!!
Yes, Lauren is always dancing her way through life : )
i love your mickey mom shirt where did you find that? your report is great
Tim got it for me for Mother's day a few years ago in a
Disney store. My FAVORITE shirt : )
Lesley, I think I am caught up. (I was away for a week- you know how much you miss on the dis in a week!!) Your update on Jiko makes me really want to try it--without kids!
When did you first put Luke and Lauren in a Kid's Club and did it take any convincing that they wouldn't mess anything? I think my kids would totally freak because they would be afraid that they would miss something!
Deb
Glad you are all caught up. We put them in for the first time when Lauren was 4 and Luke was 6, they LOVE it there, they actually beg to go all the time.
Wow, you guys were busy on your last full day! I loved this update. There was so much I wanted to comment on and I've already forgotten. Lauren is a character with that "strutting" photo of her from behind. And love the one of her and Tim holding hands.
Glad that Luke got 2 rides on Barnstormer and says a lot about how you're raising him that he didn't let the rope drop disappointment color his whole day. Go Luke!
All the mountains in one day.
I am a big Pecos Bills fan too but those wheat buns... I'm already having a cheeseburger and fries... no need to try to be healthy.
I just love that you were able to experience Disney with your friends. So special!
Can't wait for return of the "kimodo."
Yeah, not a huge pecos bill fan either, but counterservice is counterservice. Kimodo coming up in the next update : )

You know he was having a blast with that role. Your Splash pic is wonderful too--a great shot of your 2 families having fun together! Do they always take FPs if they're for another day? I'm guessing they don't even really look that closely. I wish we would have thought to try it on our trip last year!
. It's so funny...she still has that same, sweet smile. 
Last update coming tonight.
