Mmmmm... Kona!! That sounds so delicious right now!

The picture of Henry in front of BTMRR is so cute!

I love all the pics of the 40th anniversary merchandise! That Vinylmation needs to come home with me!

 

[Poolrat]

Thanks for the 40th anniversary stuff.

A great MK day - much better than the weather you be getting at home.


I hope your tummy is all full from Kona.

I hope your tummy is all full from Kona.

Your hopes have become reality.

Incredibly full! Like, "I can't sit down anymore" full!

 

[jenseib]

Brook, I have been folllowing you on facebook all day! You hva had a very Magical day! I won't spoil it for all those who haven't read it, but there are two things you did/have happen that I am so jealous about!

 

[KatMark]

Great pics, Brook. Love Pirate Henry.

 

[Kara]

Thank you thank you!!!!
LOVE THE POOL!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

You know I think it is hysterical that Henry didn't want to ride BTMRR more than once -- I am right there with him!

Smart mom bribing Henry with pirate loot to get him to ride!

Yeay for Bo! Henry is adorable standing beside him!!!

 

[MeMom]

Cute. Nice bribe.

And we also watched the Flag Retreat, which was incredibly moving and had me in tears.

Agreed. That is a very moving ceremony.

All 7 dwarfs are there, it's just hard to get them all in one pic

Yep. I had to take two pictures from a left and a right angle to get them all. Otherwise, you have to back way up, and then there are too many people in the way.

Gotta get freshened up for dinner at Kona!

Yummmmmmm!

 

[Curiouser&curiouser!]

The kid is now obsessed with pirates!

"Yo ho, yo ho!"

Too funny!

When my munchkin was born, one of the only songs I knew by heart was A Pirate's Life for Me. So I often sang it to him. He has been obsessed ever since. We had a Pirate themed 1st birthday party and he walks around the house singing "Yo Yo, Yo Yo, *mumble mumble* me-e!" (He's only 17 months, so he doens't have all the right words yet.)

 

[SoonerGirl]

Way to go Henry, conquering BTMRR!!

He's gotta be the cutest little pirate I've ever seen

Ok, so where is the glass blower? I can't believe I've never noticed him!

Yummmm, Kona! I'd insert my drooling smilie here, but I'm too lazy to open photobucket

 

[jenjolt]

YAY for Henry conquering BTMRR!!! I'm so enjoying these live updates!!!!!

I have always wanted to see the Flag ceremony something else to add to the to-do list!!!

 

[Stasieki]

I missed Bo again on our trip. Am I just totally oblivious or do I need to "stop and smell the roses" more on my Disney trips

 

[MeMom]

I have always wanted to see the Flag ceremony something else to add to the to-do list!!!

Yes, you need to make a point to see this. The military people are there, and the honored guests are so somber about the event. The CM's line up very reverently. It is something special to witness in the midst of the chaos of the park activities.

Yay Henry for riding BTMRR...is this a 40 inch requirement too? I just dont think Alexa is going to grow 2 inches in 83 days I think she will miss out on lots until the next trip Once my other kids hit the mark to ride BTMRR, they all loved it!
And Alexa has been saying she wont ride Pirates again either. She sings the song all the time, and I showed her a youtube video of Pirates to get her used to it....and now she watches it everyday and says she wants to ride it.
She also watches Test Track and Soarin, but I just dont think she will make the height requirement....oh well, guess we will have to start planning another trip

 

[petals]

I also saw a St Patrick's Day outfit for Duffy the other day!

Tonight we were in Epcot and Henry saw Duffy. "I colored him!" he shouted - and he wanted to meet him.

The entire trip he's been a bit "meh" about standing in line to meet characters. "Do you want to meet Donald?" "No." "Chip & Dale?" "Maybe later." "Daisy Duck?" "Nope."

But Duffy he wanted!

However, Duffy's line was closed. Hopefully we'll make it back to Epcot one last time and can meet Duffy!

I luv it! Hopefully he gets to meet Duffy before you go home!

 

[PirateKate]

Henry makes a cute pirate! I think the pirate smile really makes the photo.

Cool Snow White and 7 Dwarfs topiary. I can't wait to read all about the F&G Festival in your TR.

 

[vamassey1]

Henry does make the cutest pirate!

Sounds like you're having a blast. I so wish we were there.

Are seeing lots of people from Louisiana? It's Mardi Gras week so I know there are lots of them there, wish we were there.

 

[MEK]

Perfect pictures. I don't know what I like better - pirate henry or henry and Bo!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Are seeing lots of people from Louisiana? It's Mardi Gras week so I know there are lots of them there, wish we were there.

I think we might be the ONLY people NOT from Louisiana. The other day at Turtle Talk the CM was making small talk before the show and said, "Okay, normally I ask where people from from, but how about if you are not from Louisiana you give me a shout out." Joe and I cheered and like 2 other families in the packed room!

 

[brookelizabeth]

The glass blower....I think he's in the store next to the bakery, or very close to that. I remember we were in the bakery and just started to wander down Main Street toward the exit when we ran into that. I had never seen him before either! The shop sold all sorts of glass items, he was making a custom ornament. I might have taken "info pictures" with the SLR...I guess we'll find out in the TR!


Tomorrow is our last full day.



Two weeks is NOT enough time to do everything I wanted to! Not even close. I could easily stay another week...or two!

I can't even explain how thankful I am that we have been able to stay for two entire weeks at Disney World. It's amazing to me. Our trip has been incredible.

Tomorrow we will go to AK to catch a show and let Henry dig in the Boneyard one last time. We plan on eating at Flame Tree. YUM. My stomach is growling just thinking about it!

After AK we don't have any solid plans. We shall see what strikes our fancy. Perhaps DTD since we have only been once during our trip!

And on the 15th, the UnME will be picking us up around 3:00, so before then we'll be in EPCOT BABY!

Today we had a slow, lazy day and resort hopped a bit. We finished out the night with the Memories show and Wishes. It was chilly tonight, but it was all worth it. We had a bench in the hub to sit on and hot chocolate from Casey's to drink. The Memories show is AMAZING. I was in awe! And Wishes, as always, was beautiful. We rounded out the night with a spin on the Teacups and a sailing with our favorite pirates.

I have pics to share, but I'm exhausted - I'll try to get some up tomorrow!

Have a great night everyone!
