The update and photopass pics are great!!
I really loved the one at AK with Simba... Henry looks totally into playing with baby Simba!!

I was amazed (and excited) that Henry, for some reason, found Joe's arm oh-so-interesting at that very moment!
Great updates - your pictures of WL are Beeeeautiful!
I had to laugh about the comments of the size of your head in relation to your dinner! How did that cookie the CM gave Henry measure up?! That thing looks HUGE!!!! That makes me think - when we go in August, our group will have a little girl that will be close to 2 at that point. We sat next to her in church on Sunday and throughout the service she kept saying "COOKIE!" I bet she would flip if we got her one of those from the bakery!!
Your photopass pics are awesome!! So many fun ones and you all look great!
Let's see, the cookie was probably TWICE the size of Henry's head! Approx. the same size as my steak.
I am sure that little girl would go crazy with one of those cookies! And bonus, they are taaaaaaaasty. Ours was peanut butter -yumm! (we eat it later in the TR, it's actually part of my story...
)
I was really happy at the fun ones the photographers kept doing since we had done the Photopass Share-in 2006 we got about a total of 15 pictures, so this was a very nice change.
That is just precious that Henry was tugging at his stroller first thing in the morning. He knew it would be a fun day!
I was cracking up about Henry's castle pics -- he was so not impressed.
Everything from Main Street Bakery looks delicious -- my stomach is growling from looking at the French Toast Loaf. I need a big slice of that right now!
Your photopass pictures turned out soooo good! I love all of them!
I couldn't believe we got more of a reaction from Spaceship Earth than we did from the Castle! Though, SE is a ball shape-something he does recognize (and love), so I guess it makes sense... maybe on his next trip he'll realize Castle=LOTS OF FUN RIDES!
Hopefully Epcot will always mean fun to him too, we love that park!
I was really pleased with the Photopass pictures! I took a LOT of time editing them-cropping, borders, etc. but it was worth it!
I need a big slice of French Toast Loaf this morning too! I have to settle for normal toast though...
Aaaww! What wonderful photopass pics! you got a lot of fun ones!
I was really excited about all the fun pictures the photographers were having us do - it just makes for more interesting pictures than the standard "stand in front of the giant park icon". One I have seen a few times here on the DIS is where people stand with fists on their heads to make them look like Mickey ears-it's really cute!
I adore your photopass pictures! Especially the kissing one in front of RnRC. It's so sweet! Loved the update too. What a huge cookie! Henry sure does look adorable holding it!
Thanks Jay! That photographer in front of RnR was so much fun. I was SO confused on what he was doing with the map picture, but then we caught on and had a good time with it. He was an older man who you can tell just loved his job!
Thank you!
Yep, the mousefest dates for next year are
2009: 4 Night Wonder Cruise December 6-10; December 10-14 Land Events; December 12 MegaMouseMeet
I'll just be doing the land portion next year.
I just told DH about these dates, he responded with "Those are the dates we want to go, right?"
"Close to, it's the Value season"
*happy dance by DH*
I think that we will be planning to go during the land portion of Mousefest as well!!!
You have to sign up for the activites as the time gets closer, right? I have so much research to do! (Oh, darn...
)
I've never been out to the Midwest! I'd love to visit Chicago though. I'm hoping to get up there someday soon! That's so cool that you lived in Brooklyn for a while! What part were you in? I was born and raised here in Brooklyn. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else; after being here my whole life, I'd miss the city too much!
I love the new update! Henry's reactions to the castle were too funny
He has such gorgeous big eyes!
And your Photopass pictures came out great. All the one's of you and your DH are so cute, especially the Rock'N'Roller Coaster one! That must have been a fun photographer. I've actually never seen that Minnie photo-op before, how cool!
I lived between Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill-right by the Brooklyn Promenade and the Fulton Mall-down by Jay Street (if you know that area). My stop was Borough Hall. I can still hear how the 2 train announced Borough Hall everytime-the automated voice would say it with a weird emphasis, the 4 train didn't do it. Not sure why!
Anyway, I digress....what part of Brooklyn do you live in? I have a friend that lives out toward Kings Hwy, so I am semi-familar with that area too. I LOVED Brooklyn, but the area I lived in was waaaaaaaaay too expensive for my budget! I got a great deal on a sublet for 2 months on the UWS, then out to Woodside Queens, which I just loved. Woodside was perfect.
The Midwest is nice-it's slower life, cheaper and very pretty. Lots of farmland! But, thankfully, we have our share of cities as well. While I would LOVE to move back to NYC, reality is we probably will end up in Minneapolis/St Paul. Family is here, so that makes staying in Minnesota very appealing. Thankfully we have friends out in NYC and know all the cheap places to eat, so a vacation can be done on a shoestring budget!
I have only seen the Minnie photo-op a couple times before too-I was really happy to spot a photographer doing it! At first I thought he was doing the one with Stitch on the bench, but when he said it was Minnie, it was even better!
Those are some seriously awesome photopass pics. I love the one where you are making scared faces in front of ToT and Henry looks SO unimpressed!
I LOVE that ToT one too just because of Henry's reaction! It would only be better if he were yawning.
Awesome updates, Brooke! The photopass pics are terrific. We particularly enjoyed those DHS and AK pics.
Happy Holidays!
Alan
Thanks Alan (and crew)! I am really pleased with how the Photopass pictures came out too. I spent a couple hours cropping and adjusting, but the end product makes it well worth the work. I am glad to have a bunch of family pictures from Henry's first trip too.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Merry Christmas Eve to you, Joe, and Henry!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And right back at you, Bubba Mouse and Junior too!
We just opened our family presents - Henry had a BALL doing it. Now he's "napping". Or at least should be.
Tonight we head over to Joe's cousin's house for the "Big Family" Christmas, and then down to my Mom's for my sides. The "Little Family" Christmas (Joe's parents, sisters, etc) was on Saturday. Henry is going to be a pro at unwrapping presents by the end of this weekend.
I might have some pics to share later, and I REALLY want to update and finish out our MK day today. I have oodles to do, so I'm not sure if it will happen, but I'll try!
I hope everyone has a wondeful, safe, warm, and memory filled Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(and if you don't celebreate Christmas, a wonderful holiday!!)
But, I'm glad to hear my TR has helped keep you entertained.
