[AussieAngel]

Hey! I just found your trip report - love it!!

You all did so well to last those long 12 hour days! Very impressive!!

That photo with your whole family and all of the characters is fantastic. Definitely one to frame!

Your girls are just gorgeous, and you have such a lovely, friendly face! What a great family!

Looking forward to the next chapter!

Just getting caught up with being out of town forever. LOVED your Epcot day, you guys saw so many characters. The snow white kiss was precious. My kids wanted to see Dopey so bad but the two times we stopped by he was "getting a snack" so we kept missing him,- oh well.
We ate at the Mexican restaraunt too and didn't care for it, beautiful place but not so good food. The boat ride is a favorite of my kids too. Can't believe you guys lasted such a long day, kudos to you! Can't wait for more.
Also, Luke's room is AWESOME! Nice work.

I just love Soarin', too! It's my favorite ride at Epcot and the music is just so wonderful!!! I'm glad that you were able to ride it twice!

You guys get sooo much done on your park days -- I am just in awe!!!

I second that comment!

What a fun long day. It seems like I don't have that many nighttime pictures either from our trip. I guess when the sun goes down I forget about the camera.

Love the picture of the three of you, er, the 3 1/2 of you. I know it is said a lot, but your girls are just adorable!

Wow that was a long day, you did so much too, I loved all the character photos and the Snow White kiss was so cute. It sounds like little Em is full of questions, so sweet

Pity about Hannahs candy, but how nice she got one!

I cannot believe we were there 12 hours... more like 13 when you count the time before it opens and bus travel time. I think next trip I want to visit the parks more days... but have some short days. But it will be a while.

We did see a lot of characters... they really like them at this age. I know someday they won't be as excited, so we live it up now.

I was really proud of Hannah holding it together in terms of the candy falling... it was my fault... and she got over it quick, which is not always the case.

I just love Soarin', too! It's my favorite ride at Epcot and the music is just so wonderful!!! I'm glad that you were able to ride it twice!

You guys get sooo much done on your park days -- I am just in awe!!!

Soarin is probably 3rd on my favorite ride list, behind Splash Mountain and Rockin Roller Coaster. Since the other two could not be rode... along with Everest, Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, Test Track... I was so happy to ride it a few times! The smells, the music... I so love it... I teared up a bit this time- hormones!

What an awesome day at Epcot! You guys sure got a lot accomplished and had so many special moments for everyone! I feel the same way about Soarin, that music really just puts me at peace.

Way to fgo on finishing the scrapbooks. It's a dream of mine to be able to say that!

EPCOT had some great moments... but the best one is coming up at MK on our last day!
I have to get to the basement soon... my mom is coming home tomorrow and I told her I would be done scrapbooking... but that is not happening! This week though for sure!

great update! you guys did alot that day too! Glad you got to ride Soarin', that is a pretty cool ride, I can't wait for Emma to be able to ride all that stuff next time.. Lucky about the buses, that was the night that was soo bad.

That is a bummer Emma is too short... I hope next time Hannah will go again and Em will be big enough. When I read about your bus nightmare I thought thank God we got out of there when we did!

Thanks for joining in and commenting! The character picture is ready... I finally have a copy for our house, now I just need to find a frame in the basement, hopefully a WDW frame and get it out!

Sorry you kept missing Dopey... it was fun to see him. I cannot for the life of me figure out why the Mexico food is so so... the CS is better than that. With all the great foods around WS-what gives?
Thanks on the room- I cannot believe how quick summer is going and that he will be here!

I second that comment!

Thanks!

I just had no camera moments this trip... mind you we took a ton, but a lot in groups it seems, clusters of same events. Thanks on the girls...

 

[dad2t&e]

OK, I'm in. You have a lovely family and congrats on the new addition!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Another great update! You guys accomplished so much! Another Soarin' lover here although I've never specifically asked for row one... think I may have to do that!

I'm looking forward to the SE updates as well and I have to say based on Hannah & Em's hardy endorsement I am now looking forward to the "Donald boat ride" aka Fiesta Tour.

Congrats on getting the scrapbooks done. The kids are really going to appreciate them when they get older -- unless of course used to reveal embarrassing moments to boyfriends/girlfriends!

EPCOT had some great moments... but the best one is coming up at MK on our last day!

I don't want your TR to end but can't wait to hear what this magical moment was!

 

[lmillercrew]

Congratulations on finishing the scrapbooks. I am so far behind. It seems that I do the vacation books before the normal kids pages for their books, and I'm still working on a Mexican vacation from 2006. Can't wait to hear about your MK day.

 

[myrsfmly]

Loving your report. Your girls are precious! I am amazed at how much you and your little guys were able to accomplish in a day... gives me hope for my crew who tend to lag behind their crazy park-touring mama!

Thank you! We went to big sibling class yesterday at the hospital... hard to realize next time we are there we will be having a baby.

Soarin is great great great in the front row... no shoes. I would recommend waiting and I plan to do it from now on.

Don't get to excited about Donald's boatride... now my girls want to check out the Donald Three Caballero movie from the library

We do indeed receive a dream team wish... and another one from a CM at MK!

I have started a WDW one for just our family.... but I have not even thought about getting it caught up. Someday perhaps!

Loving your report. Your girls are precious! I am amazed at how much you and your little guys were able to accomplish in a day... gives me hope for my crew who tend to lag behind their crazy park-touriong mama!

The only way we got so much done was the days off before and after our park days. We do take a MK break on the last day....I just find that EPCOT WS character wise is best in the afternoon, so I hate to think about missing that by going back to a hotel.

We went to use our annual passes at the Newport Aquarium yesterday... and this picture just reminds me so much of the Living Seas.

Of course I attached a few more...

touching the starfish

touching the starfish like big sister... Em actually tries to pick them up!

We had a fun day seeing the fish. They have this big frog exhibit... not really big, rather they are advertising it like mad. My girls blew through it, since we have passes and is crowded they did not show a lot of interest in waiting for the people to look.

I might get an update... but DH leaves for a trip tomorrow so we will have to see!

 

[Me&3]

The girls both look so cute . They also look like they grew some just since the start of your trip report. And all three of you have a nice summer tan everyone looks very happy and healthy.

 

[Charleston Princess]

What cuties at the aquarium!!! It looks like you had a wonderful day there except for the crowds at the frog exhibit!

Thanks... I think Em has grown, she is now 36 inches. Hannah maybe a 1/2 inch or so. I cannot believe she will be five in a month! We really live it up in the summer since I am a . I pack a lot of things in!

I so want to go to your aquarium....

 

[Charleston Princess]

I so want to go to your aquarium....

It's awesome -- really, really, really neat -- the Beluga whales have such human faces, I could sit and watch them for hours -- not to mention all the other neat sea animals.

It's nice, too, because the World of Coke is right across the lawn, so it makes for a very nice outing to do both of them.

Let me know when you want to come down and we'll meet up!

Of course!!! We could have an official DIS meet!

 

[macheath]

Love your aquarium pictures! The girls look so cute.

They are advertising the Frog Bog like crazy, arent they? I took the kids down and they were less than impressed. Plus, we had an "incident" in the play area there. Now my son says he never wants to go there again....How sad.

Sooo looking forward to more updates. I love seeing all your pictures.

That so stinks about your visit. I agree over advertised this exhibit a bit much... I would rather to go to the zoo anyday over the aquarium.

Love the aquarium pics! I wish we had an aquarium here, I really love going the them.
