i know i have said it before but ill say it again... henry is just the cutest little thing. he deserved a personal photo shoot, for being so cute
Oh thank you!

The little ones in your siggy are MIGHTY cute too!!!
Precious, precious, precious pictures of Henry! You can't get much cuter than those! What an amazing photographer!
Just for the record, my Connor LOVES Maelstrom. It is a very short ride -- definitely never get a Fastpass or wait in line for it -- but it has a certain appeal to my geeky family as it is all dark forest and trolls!
He really was a great photographer, it was fun running into him. I wish I would take better notice of these CM's names and then I could write a little email to Disney telling them of their superb service. Gotta remember that for future trips!
Oooh, good to hear a positive review of Maelstrom! And if it appeals to a certain genre of geeks, it just might appeal to us as well...we are more the techy dorks, but there is always that theatrical love in every true geek.

I put it on the "must do" list for our upcoming trip, I really do want to try it-and a very short line is ALWAYS a hugeeeee bonus with a baby.
Love the photos of Henry, they are super cute. We had a female photopass photographer that was really getting into her job as well. She was in Italy and I even spotted her taking a picture of a younger couple trying to pull the donkey that is attached to a cart, it was really funny. I love those CM's.
You took some great photos as well, very artistic!
Oh that's right! I remember you talking about that CM in your TR. I think I might have to steal that idea with the donkey...I bet Joe wouldn't do it unless he was in a certain mood, but I know he'll at least entertain my goofiness!
Henry's pictures are absolutely adorable, but so are those of all three of you. However, what is puzzling me is that the scenery looks more like Japan than China...
Do you know where your parents lived in Germany? You really should come and visit Germany! It is a really easy country to travel in, very safe and clean. And while people are not as overly friendly as they are in the USA, we really have improved in the last decade with regard to customer service!! If you ever decide to make the trip I will be happy to help!
Oh, you are right.

I remembered the day wrong (see what not taking notes and working on your TR way too late at night does for ya?!

). We exited China, then went onward to Italy and when we were headed to the frienship boats (next entry) we found that photographer. Well, there are a few other things I have missed (like our night of swimming!) in this TR, so I plan to make a "I made a boo-boo (or two)" entry and set everyone straight.

Thanks for pointing that out!
I totally forgot you are from Germany when I was typing that out!! My parents lived in Bad Windsheim (had to Google for the spelling,

). They lived there for two years and my Mom just LOVED it. She cried the day they had to leave. It's fun to look at their old pictures of their young love all over the country.
I would REALLY REALLY REALLY love to come there sometime! It has been a dream since I was in high school. I am determined that one day it will be reality. Might be a long while from now, due to raising a family, BUT, it will happen! And at that time, I will call upon your expertise.
Just out of curiosity - how much are plane tickets on average?
Wonderful pictures of World Showcase! And I love, love, love your photopass pics!
I understand your desire to visit Germany. My dad's dad's parents were from Germany, so my maiden name is German. I was lucky enough to get to spend 2 months there one summer before my freshman year in high school when my dad was stationed in Geilenkirchen (I hope I didn't just butcher the spelling of that!). I had a fabulous time, Germany is such a beautiful country, but I would love to go back now that I'm older and would appreciate the experience more!
Thank you!
That is very cool about living in Germany!! I hope you are able to go back someday. Wouldn't it be so fun to take your family and show them where you used to live? I would love to see my parent's old town and their house.
