Update 9-11 MCS!...Can we keep it a surprise???? Our June trip to WDW w/ pics

[IluvXU]

Again gorgeous photos of your girls, you were brave letting Em have chocolate icecream with a white shirt on

Ooooh a dream, can't wait to read about it

I never thought that ice cream was planned that night... or she would not have had that on. Especially when we could have had her swimsuit on already!

I just found your report today, I can't beleive I read the whole thing. Your girls are so cute I had to read it and see all the pics. It sounds like a great trip! Linda

Thanks for joining in and commenting. We think they are pretty great too!


So I did not get an update done yet... sorry. We have had a busy weekend. I am down to the last 10 pages of scrapbooking until I am caught up(WDW 2007 for Hannah)... so I have worked on that a lot the last three days. I had some volunteering to to do today for school, swimming, and then a girls night out with my mom and sister in law at the mall! Tomorrow we are water park bound after church (that is the third time in 4 days) and then a picnic, but I think I can update between the two or tomorrow night. The pictures are uploaded, but I am too beat now.

Take your time we will be here. . Relax you need to take it easy I can't beleive Luke will be here in 39 days . Where did the time go .

Wednesday, June 11th

This was our final full day, and our second day at MK! We were excited to go back, but honestly we had done almost everything we had wanted on the first day. We hoped to hit the highlights again... and were hoping for great crowds like Saturday.

So again we woke up before 7, showered, ate cereal and were at the bus stop at 7:30ish. We were to MK a little after 8. Once again Hannah and I went to the restroom outside... and then we began the long wait again until the park opened.... sunscreening up and playing with the hula hoops.

We were right behind the rope, right near the stroller rental and the girls relaxed on that small wall...

Em was studying what we needed to do... she loves maps and would recognize some of the rides.

We were handed some of the Mickey Confetti and counted down the park opening... and yes there was an opening show that day, but we did not really move to see it.

Hannah as we waited for the stroller.
The plan was for Doug and Hannah to go and ride Astro Orbiter and the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway and Em and were headed to Dumbo. Yes again, but there is no way that I would tell that sweet soul no, she wanted to ride it so we went with the stroller, headed to the side of the castle near Liberty Square.

We again were right up front at the rope.. and the CM were telling us that Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain were not running quite yet- I felt bad for those who were headed there. Em and I made it towards Dumbo... I thought for sure we would get on the first ride, but we were on the third... mind you Saturday we were farther back and hit the second ride.

Then we visited Ariel again. Again Em wanted to see her... so sure I thought. Plus we had forgotten to have Ariel sign our autograph book on Saturday, so we had her sign our last page!

I just love her sitting pose! (Em's of course)

Then we had not ridden the carousel yet... so we went on that ride!

And gathered a FP for Peter Pan for later!


And then off to find daddy and Hannah. When we walked over by the Indy cars... I saw Doug and Hannah...they were in line so I talked to a CM who helped me get Em to them, because you can take three in a car! Plus somehow Hannah drove

So here are the pics I snapped!

Then we went back to Toontown. I must admit I already could tell this place is crowded! Doug and the girls rode the Barnstormer and then the girls wanted to go to Minnie's house again. While on the barnstormer I checked the lines for the characters... getting long already and we had seen the ones already. As I waited at the exit... the dreamteam was there! A girl on the ride before my gang won a VIP Tour Guide for the next 4 Hours... how cool! No waiting in lines or anything!

Maybe she will be able to sew... I certainly can't!

They both are obsessed with the fridge in Minnie's house...

We then headed up towards the Pooh playground. The girls played there, we were hoping to catch Pooh and Darby out... so I asked a CM and he said they would be coming out around 11. He actually called on the phone at the Winnie the Pooh Ride, so nice!

As I waited I FP Winnie the Pooh and got a bonus FP for Mickey's Philharmagic! I was thrilled... we love that!

So then DH and I asked what the girls wanted to ride, Hannah went on Snow White and Em and I did the carousel again before we met at It's a Small World.


DH took forever to find a spot for the stroller, he had sent us in line, but we ended up having to stop and wait for him to catch up

I was pretty teary eyed this ride... I know that Hannah is so over this ride, she is on to bigger and better things, but Emily just loves it. I will never have another little girl who loves this ride... at that tender sweet age of two again...I just wanted to bottle up her reaction and love and make her promise to always love that ride!

Then we got off.....

AND SAW THE DREAM TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were passing out DREAM FASTPASSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we all got one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say I was speechless... so so so so excited! I could hardly believe it! It was so awesome to get a dream! The lucky ducks though, were Doug and Hannah. They had a lot of FPs to use since I could not ride some of the rides and neither could Emily. Plus MK was much more crowded that day and I was not sure what we would be able to do and DH had run around like mad collecting FPs... no more baby!

I am still kicking myself for not getting a pic with the dream team... I am pretty sure I was just so shocked that we won! It is an awesome feeling... DH was even really excited once he realized just how many FPs we had to use that day ( I think he thought he would ride Space Mountain 4 times)

Here is my gang with their FPs![/[FONT]

Coming up next... camera chaos.... a DIS treat, and enjoying our Dream!

 

[dddisrunner]

YAY for your dream!! Isn't that the best feeling!! The pic. of the girls and your DH at Indy is precious!

 

[Me&3]

Congrats on the Dream Fastpasses . I love the pics. I'm so sad this trip report will end soon We have all really enjoyed your report here at my house. Can't wait to hear more

 

[Eventer98]

I am so happy to hear that your family won a dream!!! DH and I are still waiting for one..maybe next trip!!

 

[punkin413]

As I waited I FP Winnie the Pooh and got a bonus FP for Mickey's Philharmagic! I was thrilled... we love that!

what do you mean you got a bonus FP? i've never heard of that. do tell!

I was pretty teary eyed this ride... I know that Hannah is so over this ride, she is on to bigger and better things, but Emily just loves it. I will never have another little girl who loves this ride... at that tender sweet age of two again...I just wanted to bottle up her reaction and love and make her promise to always love that ride!

this is so sweet!!!!!

Then we got off.....

AND SAW THE DREAM TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were passing out DREAM FASTPASSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we all got one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!! if i could choose which park to get dream fastpasses at it would definitely be MK......there's so much to ride there! that's so great!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

That's awesome that you won a dream, must have made your day!

 

[Charleston Princess]

This was such a wonderful update!

First, adorable pictures of your family -- your girls are really such little cuties!!! Doug looked like he had a blast on the Speedway with both the girls!

Second, I got all teary eyed when I read about how you wished you could bottle up Emily's reaction to IASW -- how true! How very true!!!

Third, YOU WON A DREAM!!! How cool is that???

 

[DisneyJo]

How fantastic you won a dream

I've never heard of the VIP tour guide dream before, that would be a great one!

I agree with Dawn I love the photo of your girls waiting on the wall, so cute

 

[IluvXU]

YAY for your dream!! Isn't that the best feeling!! The pic. of the girls and your DH at Indy is precious!

The dream was thrilling so fitting on our last park day, it certainly kept the end of vacation blues away! Em tolerated the speedway... but Hannah loved driving and DH was glad they both could go.

Congrats on the Dream Fastpasses . I love the pics. I'm so sad this trip report will end soon We have all really enjoyed your report here at my house. Can't wait to hear more

This was the first time ever I was not terribly sad to come home. Having been last August and having such a good trip again... plus being pregnant and ready for summer to start helped. I do hate to think it will be a while till I see the castle again though.

I am so happy to hear that your family won a dream!!! DH and I are still waiting for one..maybe next trip!!

Last Aug we never even saw the dream team... so to see them a few times and then win was awesome! Good luck... your trip is so close now! Can't wait to hear about it!

i love this picture of the girls!

That picture is one of my favorites too. My mom actually took it for a frame she had, she loved it too. Hardly know it is at WDW!



what do you mean you got a bonus FP? i've never heard of that. do tell!

I just entered our tickets and out shot a Winnie the Pooh FP and the Philharmagic. It said bonus FP and had an issue time too. Pretty fun!



this is so sweet!!!!!
Thanks... I liked it too!


AWESOME!!!!!!!!! if i could choose which park to get dream fastpasses at it would definitely be MK......there's so much to ride there! that's so great!

I so agree. I remember seeing someone with one at EPCOT and it had so many less FPs to use. We had 9 rides I believe: Stitch, Space Mountain, Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, Mickey's Philharmagic, Jungle Cruise, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, and Buzz. Then we actually had 36 FPs.... since all four of us got a lanyard, and Em did not even need one to ride... there was some fun figuring out how to use them maximized later!

That's awesome that you won a dream, must have made your day!

It did... it was hot, much more crowded and we were sad we knew we had stuff we wanted to do today!

This was such a wonderful update!

First, adorable pictures of your family -- your girls are really such little cuties!!! Doug looked like he had a blast on the Speedway with both the girls!

Second, I got all teary eyed when I read about how you wished you could bottle up Emily's reaction to IASW -- how true! How very true!!!

Third, YOU WON A DREAM!!! How cool is that???

My girls love daddy time... it was fun to get to go all together. That did not happen much during this trip.

IASW was my memory ride from my first WDW trip. I was in preschool and afraid of the big rides - Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, even the 10,000 Leagues under the sea (mind you my four year old is much braver) and my aunt and I rode IASW probably 10 times during our one day visit. So I have always loved it and so loved watching my girls enjoy it... and I see how Hannah is not so into it like she was at almost 2. While I know there are fun things they will enjoy later... Fantasmic, TOT. RnRC, I hate to think the days of IASW will end. I totally would have loved a third little girl to get to do this ride again with. Plus she had her little heart set on riding Dumbo too, and I know that won't always be the case either.

How fantastic you won a dream

I've never heard of the VIP tour guide dream before, that would be a great one!

I agree with Dawn I love the photo of your girls waiting on the wall, so cute

I thought the VIP tour guide was cool... I would have loved to have that, I am sure you would learn a lot of cool things too.

 

[MegansMom]

So excited that you got the dream FP!!! That is wonderful! What a great way to end the trip for sure! Love the update---can't wait to see how you all figure out how to use all those FPs!!! Staying tuned for sure! Jen

 

[lmillercrew]

Yeah you guys!!! I want to win a dream so bad, but we go next year and they probably won't be doing those extra dreams. Being there, for me, is a dream in itself. Can't wait to read more. Congrats on finishing your scrapbooks. I hope to complete my Mexico album from 2005, then it's on to Hawaii and the shark file.

 

[vassar36]

wow what a great dream !!!

 

[cjhinch]

Awww, you won a dream!! That is so exciting! My boys (dh included) won those on our last trip after riding Space Mountain!

I just love all your pics! Your girls just look so sweet! I want gobble them up in a hug! LOL

 

[winniethepoohsmom]

How great getting dream fastpasses especially on such busy day at MK. Emily is funny in the picture with the passes on as if shes saying please no more pictures. Linda

 

[DreaGirl]

How awesome to get Dream Fastpasses on your last day! How exciting!

I got a little teary reading about your IASW description. There were so many times on our trip that I would look down at my DD's little face and just want to bottle it! They are just so sweet at 2. I wanted so badly to get her little "I so happy Momma" saying on tape, but she would never cooperate!

It was great to end our trip with those around our neck!

Scrapbooking is so close to being done... it is so hard to get caught up.

wow what a great dream !!!

It was indeed!

Thanks for the the compliments.... they are normally pretty sweet!

She did not see a purpose to those pictures...as if she thought she did not need those FPs.

I think that two year olds get a bad reputation. I loved Hannah at two and Em is so great at two. It is really one of my favorite ages!

 

[IluvXU]

So I started on June 19 to get my scrapbooks caught up... and I am offically done! I am up to this summer, completely done with WDW, both trips! I just put the last pages in... and counted. That is when I realized I did 177 pages in a month. That is totally crazy! So I hope to get this report done next... not that I want it over, but I need to get some household things done before Luke arrives! So hopefully an update tonight!

 

[ampc3]

congrats on the scrapbooking that is awesome!

love the updates, super cool about the Dream FP's ... can't wait to hear about your evening...

don't tell my kids you can fit 3 in the race cars! I thought it was only 2....oops..
