*UPDATED 10/11* "Yes, someone stole our stroller"... and other magical moments.

Oh, please ignore the time stamps on my camera. I was still trying to figure out how the thing worked. (Still haven't:rolleyes1) It kept going from military time to regular time. Not very helpful:mad:
 
That hidden mickey in the clouds is AWESOME!:thumbsup2

I love the pic of your DD looking askew at DS... too funny!

I wasn't expecting to love Pooh, being an old-school Mr. Toad fan, but I thought it was really cute!
 
Love the hidden Mickey in the clouds soooooooooooo cool. That was the Winnie the Pooh ride you had pictures. I can verify that. I can also shout AMEN to it being hot as where the Devil lives. I heard the term "Swamp Butt" for the first time. EWWWWWWWW!!! Courtney said it LOL!! I can't wait to hear more.......:thumbsup2 about your trip not "Swamp Butt"
 

Loving your trip report and all the great pics, especially the hidden mickey in the clouds above the castle! Very cool indeed :thumbsup2
 
I'm way heavier (sorry can't let this argument go :rotfl2:) I'll prove it to you over a hurricane ;)

Did Disney ARRANGE the Mickey head???? Seriously that is some crazy luck you got that!

OK you know that I often comment how much i love your pics but that one of the kids looking out the monorail window is such an amazing catch. :thumbsup2

Aubrey looks extremely tall in that illegal flash shot. BAD GIRL!!!
 
I really enjoyed your update! I loved all the photos of your kids.

I think it's crazy you didn't set your alarm and still got up at 8 after driving so much.

Your new puppy is positively adorable! I want to drive up to Baton Rouge just to cuddle that scruffy little ball of fur!
 
Joining in!! Great pictures!! And the video of the puppy- sooo adorable! Can't wait to read more!
 
I'm here...but I'm cooking dinner and will come back later to read. Sorry we didn't get to meet up.

LOVE the cloud too! I wonder if I'm the only one that noticed it?? We love Pooh. The line is half the fun!

Ok, "swamp butt" is officially one of my favorite terms now. And I know exactly what you're talking about:rotfl2:

Thanks so much!!! I resisted taking tons and tons of pics this trip but I still ended up with lots:rolleyes1

I love "back of the head" shots. Something so cute about it:) I had no idea I couldn't take pictures in the que at POTC. What can I say, I'm a rebel;)

You are welcome any time in BR! Rosie would love to meet you too:)


Love your TR!! Your kids are adorable and it looks like a great first day so far!!

Thanks! It was a good first day. thanks for reading !

Joining in, your videos were so cute. So sorry about the stroller.

Uhhh, the stroller. Total bummer but we still managed to have a good time.

Joining in!! Great pictures!! And the video of the puppy- sooo adorable! Can't wait to read more!

Yay! I'll be over to check out yours too. I NEED to update this TR first!!! lol Have a good dinner :)
 
Hi everybody! Hope you all are doing well. I have had yet another crazy couple of days. First, a good friend of mine since kindergarten suddenly passed away. They're saying it was her heart. She was 33. I have been to way too many friend's funerals. I am really trying to focus on the fact that life is so unpredictable. Tomorrow is not a guarantee. Live for today! I've gotten in touch with some old friends. I kept putting off getting together because I'm so busy. I finally just put my foot down and said enough! It's time to start doing and quit talking! So, I have reconnected with another lifelong friend:lovestruc Uh, life is short.

Also, when cleaning up our playroom Sunday night, we discovered a major leak coming from the wall that backs up to the bathroom. I'm talking total rot and black mold. Good stuff:scared1: The insurance adjuster came out today and totally gave me the runaround. I HATE insurance!!! Hopeing it all works out because I have no idea how we're going to take care of it if it's not covered.

So besides that, life has been pretty calm:eek:

I am so sorry that I have not been updating more. I appreciate my readers who stick around. And if you don't, I totally understand:)

Alrighty, now on with the show!!

After riding Pirates, it was time for us to check in at BBB. We got there right on time and was told that they were running about 30 minutes behind. No biggie. They gave us a pager and told us to come back. I really needed to find a visor so we decided to do a little shopping. Unfortunately, there were no visors to be found but we did get this cute little hat for Brendan!

He was so funny. I had made an appointment for him at BBB too but he wanted no part of it. He said that he wanted a hat instead. I just knew that he would never wear it but he ended up wearing it for almost the entire trip! Too freaking cute.

We started to make our way back towards BBB and ran into Lady Tremaine and the step sisters. They are hysterical but one problem, my kids are terrified of them:scared1: The both remembered them from 1900 and wanted no part of pictures with them. So, look who I suckered into doing it...

Day19-22-11104.jpg


Well.... I wasn't going to have stood in line for nothing! Turned out to be one of the cutest pics from the trip:laughing:

After pictures, we headed back to BBB. We stopped for a second to get a shot in front of the fountain...

Day19-22-1192.jpg


We headed inside BBB and waited for them to call us back. Can I tell you how excited Aubrey was about this! We had the BEST experience back in 2010. Her Fairy Godmother was Susan and she was absolutely wonderful. She was talking to Aubrey the whole time about Cinderella and Aubrey was hanging on every word. I will never forget it! I was hoping that we would get her again, but we did not. It was ok though because the lady we got was wonderful too:banana: Sadly, I can't remember her name. Susan was there too so I got to say hi to her and thank her again for the wonderful experience last year.

I took approximately 4,000 pictures here but I'll only share a few with you as to not make your eyes glaze over...

Here we go!

Aubrey is NOT a fan of having her hair brushed so this was her least favorite part. But she sucked it up and didn't cry :)
Day19-22-11132.jpg


This is my favorite pic. She asked me to delete it and I told her I did:rolleyes1 But I knew good and well that it would end up in my TR...

My beautiful princess. Daddy and Brendan were in the lobby waiting. They were NOT allowed to come in and see her. She wanted it to be a surprise. Patient boys:)

Day19-22-1174.jpg


When we were done, Jason and Brendan went outside so that Aubrey could come out and surprise them. She made them cover their eyes. It was so cute. Here is daddy checking out his princess...

One last shot of the finished product. Just beautiful:love:

Day19-22-11172.jpg


Up next... yes, I dragged my child on BTMRR!!
 
I loved Aubrey's Bippety Boppety Boutique pictures. She is so pretty. I wish we could have met y'all.
Brendan's hat is too cute.
I love the picture of Jason with "The Witches" as Grace calls them.
I am so sorry about your friend. That is so sad.
I sure hope you get the mess with your bathroom solved. I can't wait for your next update..........
 
I'm so sorry about your loss!

And I LOVE that you got your pic of a loved one with the villians! That was fab.
 
Just found your TR and am really enjoying!! We were there at the same time. My husband and I went for an anniversary celebration the 20th thru the 26th. :lovestruc Your children are beautiful...can't wait to read more! :goodvibes
 
Your trip report is so much fun to read -- I've been going through Disney World withdrawal since our next trip won't be until Fall 2013 (the first time we'll be taking our son - who will have just turned 4 by then) -- and reading your report makes me feel like I'm at the World too :) I took a peak at some of your past reports and now have some great tips for when we bring our lil' guy down for the first time in 2013! We have already begun the Disney brainwashing - right now he can't get enough of the Disneyland Sing-Along-Song DVD - even though it doesn't feature Disney World, we figured it's close enough ;) Looking forward to reading what happened next!
 
Awww, I love the photos from this last update! I especially like the ones where she is scowling in the chair while getting her hair done and the one of Jason with the evil stepsisters and stepmother.

Brendan looks so easygoing - that photo with him in the hat is adorable too!
