*Updated* My Planning Paid off!!! A Beyond Magical Week! May 15th-22nd!!!

Again me more excited then Nevaeh we arrive at her 1st BBB appt... We checked in about 10 mins early for her 11:55 appt...

She was given her Royal Invitation which had her name on it and the diffrent Hair Styles... CM then asks us which Package we would be getting along if Nevaeh needed a changing room... I actually purchased a Cindy Dress from our local Disney Store so we opted for the Crown Package that was actually Hair, Make Up, and Nails... She then brought us over to the changing room... I had time to take a quick pic of my lil girlie before her Princess Makeover, but she wasn't havin it so we take our seats in the Teenie Tiny Waiting Area...

The Castle is definately a busy place... There was a ton goin on!!! It was some really good people watching, some lil princess were not having it and were losing patientence... Once some of the FGIT noticed how rowdy the Princesses were all getting they then finally came out with some crayons and coloring sheets... Everyone likes to color so within minutes everything was calm besides the gentlemen yelling at a CM, cause he didn't undstand why they were over booked for the day... At that point I looked at my phone and saw that we had already been there 30 mins... Ohh well she was still content so we just waited... Then finally we were called!!!

I let Nevaeh pick our her hair style and she picked the "Princess Something" with the Bun and the small Tiara!!! I was extremely happy... Then Ms Jackie our FGIT begins...

The whole process took less then 20 mins and we were finally ready for her Big Reveal!!!

She was extremely happy!!! Her reaction that I got on video was the best!!! She was given her Sash, and her gift bag of her left over make up... We got a ton it seemed too... 3 Nail Polishes... 2 Big Lip Glosses, the comb that Jackie used (even though we were told to bring our own) and her Make Up Pallete... Not to mention the lil Tiara and Crystal Mickey Clip!!! Soo Sadd We had to go. Gave Jackie a Tip and took a pic quickly!

Next stop was to Castle Couture for her Photo Session... There was no line so we just went in... At that time we were asked for her Receipt from the BBB and she then informed me of the Photo Packages that they had... I just handed her my photo pass card and she began... She definately did take her time, She mad sure Nevaeh was happy... Brought out so many diffrent props for her to use... The only one thing I didn't like was that she was always taking the pictures standing... When shooting children i've always realized that you can get much better shots when your actually down on their level... I didn't mention anything though... She took about 30 pictures!!! Here are some of my Favvs!!!!

All in All our BBB appt was Awesome!!! Jackie was Super-Sweet!!! We really couldn't have had anyone nicer... She was amazing!!!

Now that Nevaeh was offically a Princess the next place to head to was ToonTown to meet the Princesses!!!


Ummmm Maybe Bed 1st!!! LOL... Didn't realize how late it was!!!! Stay Tuned!!!!
 
What a little doll! Loved her pics :love: Isn't it great to have a perfect FGIT?!! I bet your DD had lots of comments throughout the day.
 
What a little doll! Loved her pics :love: Isn't it great to have a perfect FGIT?!! I bet your DD had lots of comments throughout the day.

I really couldn't have asked for anyone better... She was definately sweet on Nevaeh so on our next trip when we make her reservation I'll see if there might be a way for me to request her again!

Just about every CM we passed acknowledged her as a Princess! To be honest with you I think that term went to her head!!! She still seems to think that she is royalty! Im still finding specks of "pixie dust" within her scalp not to mention her doo that stayed in over 2 days!!!
 
Now that she's all dolled up and ready to meet the gals we decided to head back over to Toon Town... Again head directly to the tent to meet some Princesses the wait was about 30 mins so we hop in line... Before you know it we were up next and im all disorganized!!! I can't find my camera, Nevaeh spills our bag of Cheese Itz inside my bag, all while my phone is ringing and Im at the rope to go in...

Took a min... Cleaned off my camera and we were ready! 1st up is

Princess Aurora!!!

sl3ci1.jpg

Huge Fan!!! I had to get in for atleast one!!!
The ladies chat a bit... Nevaeh announces to everyone that she doesn't have an Aurora Dress but she brought $$$ to buy one here... She's 3, I never know whats gonna come out her mouth... LOL... It could have been worse!!! They chit chat a bit more again about her Beautiful Pink Dress and how she needs one... Say our good byes and then...

Beautiful Right?!?!?!

Next up Cinderella...

I think Nevaeh just realized she found her "Happy Place"

More Girl Talk...

Again thank goodness for Photo Pass!!! Another good one...

Last was Belle
104g9kg.jpg

She definately had to the best of them all.. She was so sweet... Not to mention really pretty... Princess Meet and Greet was awesome... It was actually my 1st time there too... Thank Goodness for all my research or I would have never known it was there... Definately a must do for each trip!

I was starting to have a cranky baby so we decided to grab the stroller that has been at the WDWRR Station sense we 1st got there :scared1: We finally meet up with the family! Now... we were traveling with locals and then Kasia looks at us and says "it's about to start pouring we should grab some lunch now..." I look up and see the sun but some dark clouds slowly approaching so it seemed like a good idea and we head to Cosmic Rays... Now this was actually my 1st time there but I knew it was a CS spot that I wanted to try... Sal and Kasia grab Steak and Cheese that they both said were some of the best food they've ever had a Disney! Then we hear the loud crash of thunder, Lightning, and then the massive amouts of people trying to get in... All this going on while I was basicaly picking up our food cause we already had a table... Nevaeh and I had the Chicken and Rib combo... It was soo good!!! That platter basicaly fed our table of 4... It was huge... Soo worth it... My tummy is rumbling just thinking about it!!! We take our time eating and while the kiddies are finishing up dessert it starts to clear up!!! Yayyy...

So now were off to Tomorrow Land... 1st place I wanna go is the Carousel of Progress!!! It's always been my fav... I knew all the lyrics... Sal and Kasia looking at me like im some kind of Disney RockStar!!! :cool1: LOL or so I thought!!! But this was a priority... Had to stop here 1st... From there we do it all... Buzz Lightyears Space Spin, TTA, Astro Orbiter, Laugh Factory, and Stich... Well, everyone but Nevaeh and I did Stich! The we come accross

Buzz Light Year!!!!

As I said before everyone loves a Princess... He was trying to kiss her hand but she was too short... We take one last pic and were on our way...

Now we had grabbed Fast Passes for Space Mountain and was about 30 mins shy of our time so we decided to again go on TTA!!! Fine by me...
2nrcw38.jpg

2s996rr.jpg

Our Next Stop!!!
4pvxxj.jpg


Nevaeh stays with Auntie Kasia and we all head to Space Mountain... Now this is only my second time on and Im felling a lil nervous...We hop in the fast pass line and notice that Stand By was 60 mins... We get all the way up and I look at Aidan, he just had that look... Are you OK??? :sad2: Noo... Do you need to leave?? Yes Mommy... And before I can even offer to take him Mark is gone!!! Now I have to ride all by myself... Im super nervous trying not to look so scared cause the lil girl behind me was wiggin... And if she saw m nervous it wouldn't have been good... Badd enough she had to see my Aidan Chicken out!!! I go and it's over within minutes... Definately one of the scariest coasters that i've been on... Everything is pitch dark... The rough turns are crazy... Unexpected dips, Did I mention everything is dark??? Very intense Coaster... Im kinda happy Aidan didn't do it... He would have been scarred for life!!!

I meet up with the fam and when we saw what time it was I realized that it was time for us to head to Ohana for Dinner... We grab a Mono Rail and where there within minutes...

Another Great Day at MK and were off to our 1st Dinner at Ohana!!!!
 

val i think its so funny that we are both going back a few days apart we just can't stay away lol
 
Im not gonna put my ticker up till it's officall though!! The hubby may be able to go but it would actually be the same week ask you guys!!! So he's lookin into it today... But on Thursday I go to AAA... Im just hoping to find some pin or run into a decent discount... The Gift Card that we had last time was awesome... Would love to get one again!!! But either way with our without the Hubby I am goin to Disney World for the Holiday Season!!! With the kiddies in tow!!!
 
1st I gotta put it out there I was a slacker on this one with the pics! But I will announce this to be our best meal on our vacation...

I researched it soo much before we even went. But it was nice because we knew exactly what to expect. We were extremely happy that we had a chance to eat here!!! Definately a must do on our next trip!!!

So our ADR was at 7:35, we arrive at 7:30 on the dot... I check us in an asked if we could have a seat to view fireworks... The CM says ofcourse but it would be a bit of a wait... Umm OK!!! :worship: Now that was something I've read on the boards about and it seems as if it's the luck of the draw on that one... At that time I asked her if she had a suggestion for me on a lil drink at the bar! She said that they are no longer serving the Lapu Lapu!!! Bummer... That was exactly what I wanted!!! All those pics of the big pinapple drink on the web was making my mouth water and I finally get here and it's no longer available... Too Bad... She recomends that maybe I try the Back Scratcher!!! Ummm OK... So I stroll up to the bar kiddie free (my 1st time the whole trip) and ask for my "BackScratcher" It was pink so I was a fan and inside the glass was a huge 2ft wooden back scratcher!!! I take my 1st sip and I was in heaven!!! It was soo good I was tryin to suck the rest of it out of the wooden scratcher!!! :laughing:

I check on the kiddies and my lil princess has finally woken from her nap... We have already been waiting for about 30 mins so I decided to head back to the bar!!! Not for me though!!! Had to get the kids their own kiddie cocktail... They actually have them too... There were either Fairies or Toy Story... They had some kind of fruit punch and came with a glowing tink or buzz... The cups were reuseable too so for $16 for the 2 of them it wasn't that bad of a deal... So I hop in an open chair to get the kiddies theirs and at that time the bartender was super busy... No Prob... So I wait patiently... He acknowledges me and I wait... 2 mins later this random dude says he's been waiting and he wants his drink... Bartended says to him it'll just be a moment and that he'll take care of him as soon as he finishes and gets mine... OK Im thinking... No less then another 2 mins later this chick is screaming at the bartended practicaly in my hear about how her and her husband has been waiting and have been ignored... He then says sorry for it being to busy but said he would take care of them as soon as me... Im just looking at this chick cause she was about to start buggin and then I look away for a split second and she's yelling towards me saying I wasn't in line... That they were there before me and they wanted their drinks... :scared1: Me im astonished... Cause she was soo rude... Yelling, Screaming and Cussing in front of children... My daughter at that... That was it...

I asked here to watch her mouth... There are children around practicaly everywhere and I don't appreicate your mouth around my daughter..." That caught her by surprise cause she though I would have kept quiet... Umm No... You included me in your drama so now your gonna hear what I have to say... She was like thats not right... "We were hear and I want my effin drink" Yada Yada Yada... Cuss Word, Cuss Word... Ummm No again... Me I take Nevaeh back to Mark cause my words to her are not gonna be to nice... By the time I get there Poly Security is trying to remove her from the bar area with her hubby try to calm her down... She was lucky, but I just stood there watching in awe... When they finally took her away I turn to the bar and there are the kiddie cocktails waiting for me... He gives me a wink and says NO CHARGE!!!! Words to my ears... Yaaa you just got your self a $10 tip cause I had intentions of paying for them Obv...

I hear my name and the hubby is walking over with our CM to seat us... She gives us the run down of the food... Then were seated at our table that was only one tiny table about from the window... We had an amazing view of Cinderella's Castle and the changing colors of it... It was seriously right in front of us. Then within seconds we were brought our bread and salad!!!
2q39188.jpg

We were also given dipping sauces for the meats but they were soo well seasoned we didn't even touch them!!
This is where my slacking begins... We were brought food soo quickly I could barely take pictures and then with the games and live music I just didn't even wanna bother cause we really were enjoying ourselfs... Then came our Apps... We don't really care for pot stickers but we had to try... They were pretty good... With it being my 1st I really can't think of anything to compare it with... Those wings were amazing though!!! Definately a favv... Just as we were finishing they began the entertainment for the kids...
23lxms6.jpg

s3q3pj.jpg

While there they did a Coconut Race, Limbo, and a Parade around the room... They loved every minute of it... Soo much I could barely get them to eat... But when it was time to eat they were very excited... Now we have been to places like Ohana before but it was all new to them...
azgsph.jpg

But, Yes it was that good...

We were brought the noodles and veggies... Again awesome!!! Veggies were amazing though!!! We had to ask for more!!! And then the meats... We had Turkey, Steak, Pork, Shrimp and it was all seriously mouth watering!!! Just as I said before we didn't even touch the sauces!!! We were minutes away from wishes and we had then received our dessert... Slacking again... I have no idea what it was... Something like Banana Foster Something... But it was amazing!!! I don't normally eat that kind of dessert... It was my 1st time ever and it was really unbeleiveable!!! Ohana really was amazing... And being able to catch Wishes from our table was a total plus...
qpmrvb.jpg

2h4dizb.jpg

Ohana is My #1 favv for this trip... We leave with big smiles and full bellies...

MK was having EMH so we decided to skip it and head back to the room... As soon as I put the kiddies PJ's on they are passed out... This really was the longest day in the world... But another amazing one at that!!!

Next up Day 4... We finally make it to Epcot!!! Dinner at Chef Mickeys, and the Wishes Cruise!!!!
 
Another great update! Ohana sounds wonderful and The picture of your daughter fast asleep is too cute! That's awful that a woman would behave like that in a family place like Disney. There is no excuse for that kind of behavior no matter what her problem was but how nice that the bartender gave you your drinks for free! Looking forward to your next installment
 
Thank You Soo Much!!!

Her nastiness did catch me by surprise... I really can't believe how some people act... I mean if she would have never started with her bad language I would have just let the bartender serve her before me... I was in no rush... She must have been having just a really bad day but, there was really no excuse for her actions... Shes lucky I didn't have my camera on me at the time or she would have been all over my TR!!!
 
god i love ohana many nights i've dreamed about that delicous dessert yummmm cant wait to go back there its definatly my fav i cant believe that lady! your in the happiest place on earth and you act like that? around children no less serisouly chill out you can't wait 2 mins for a drink are you that much of a alocholic come on now
 
Day 4 we made it to Epcot! Some people may prefer Magic Kingdom but Epcot is My Happy Place!
34hgwes.jpg

I could seriously just walk around and underneath it for hours just looking at it... Its like when I first get there all I wanna do is get right on to Space Ship Earth...

But the hubby has Soarin on his mind so we decide to head there first. We waited about 10 mins and were on... My hunnie was also able to get a Rider Switch to save for later! After we each then rode once we grabbed fast passes too... Needless to say we all got to go on at least twice... Aidan Double!!! Soarin really is amazing... It's a must do every trip... We always try to head there first as soon as we get there... Waits can be really long too, so best advice is to always get there early!

From there were decided to head to the Living Seas!
o9065w.jpg

here is another place I can get lost in the whole day... I mean it's like an awesome Aquarium!!! Who doesn't like the Aquarium?!?!?!
1st we decided to go on the Nemo Ride!!! It was Walk On!!! :cool1: No Wait!!! Another super cute ride... There was just one scene where Nevaeh got a little spooked but she loved it!!! It was cute looking for Nemo and trying to catch him for his dad!!! We hop off and head to say a quick hello to our friend Bruce!!! *Remember* Fish our Friends, Not Food!!!
2nkt34x.jpg

We poked around in the Tank Areas... Got to see soo many Beautiful fishes and other animals... Sting Rays are always awesome too!!! Had to make a quick stop at the Nemo Tank ofcouse... Now I figured would be a good time to catch Crush... NOT... Apparently we were too early... He's not awake till 10am CM's are telling us... Im thinking "I wish I could sleep in till 10am" LOL... But I was seriously working on about 5-6 hours of sleep each night!!! A line was already forming and it was still an hour away, so we decided to head to Test Track...
6jd44g.jpg

This was actually Aidan's first time this visit so I was very surprised when he asked me to take his picture! Must be a favv!!! I've always enjoyed it! Again with us taking advantage of the Rider Switch he was able to go on again! At that point Nevaeh was getting cranky and it was her vacation too so we were off to find another attraction that she was able to go on! Perfect timing for us to see Figment im thinking! I love this attraction... But I do remember it being much diffrent when I was younger... I look to my left and she was all smiles so I knew we made a right choice...

Next place hubby wanted to head to was the Cool Club... This is the lil spot that you can sample diffrent sodas from aroud the world... It was our first time visit here and everything tasted good but one!!! It almost made my breakfast come up... Aidan was astonished to why our sneakers were all sticking to the floors... That place was covered in soda!!! Sticky Icky all over the place...

For some reason we always skip Mission Space... I've only been on it once... Aidans still a bit to little so we always just say next time and keep walking... Now with us being there super early World Showcase was barely open. As I said before I was trying to visit as many attractions that I have never visited before in the past... So Im thinking why don't we head to Ellen's Adventure... Were informed that it takes about 40 mins so we walk in not knowing what to expect... It was actually really good... Learned a few things and we even got to see Dinosaurs too!!! Aidan said he really enjoyed it so it was worth the visit...

Now we finally get to head to World Showcase!!! But Wait!!! Photo Pass!!! We Gotta Stop!!! Need as many Family Pics as Possible!!!
ossbiv.jpg

More "Magic Shots" with the Kiddies... Don't forget to Ask for them!!!

GO TO THE RIGHT!!! GO TO THE RIGHT!!! Im tellin Mark... We always start with Mexico and I want to try something diffrent!!!

Me practicaly flying through Canada... Heading Directly to YorkShire!!! Yayyy we finally made it!!! It was on the list... Had to try it... Im from New England... We love Fish and Chips!!!
htbs5y.jpg

And yess it was soo good... Soo good that we went back to get another plate!!! Definately awesome use of a QS Credit!!! Can't wait to try it again!

Next Up is France!!! Yaaa You know what I want!!! Yess I'll take what Samantha Brown Had!!! Grand Marnier Orange Slush!!! Sooo yummy... A perfect drink for a summer day!!! I grab an Orange one, Kasia gets the Grey Goose Slush and were off... Mine is gone before were out of the country!! Yess that Good!!! I was tempted to go back for another but passed for now... Vowed to get the Grey Goose one next time... It tasted like Lemonade!!!

Now to Japan!!! Another Check off the list... We must pick a Pearl!!! As I had mentioned before this was my 1st time meeting Kasia and Sal my new BIL and SIL... I thought it would be nice for the girls to Pick a Pearl... I'll explain a lil for anyone who has never done!!! In the Huge Japan store there is an oyster tank, You pick your oyster for $16 and the CM opens it for you... In each oyster there is a pearl but what kind no one knows... Diffrent colors, sizes, shapes too it's all a big surprise you see once opened... I've read among the boards to pick the hairest, ugliest oyster and that was exactly what we did!!! Nevaeh first... Who would have thought Nevaeh picks the most random color pearl... She gets a Silver Pearl at 7.5... Amazing Right!!! Were told that only 5-10% of oysters produce Silver Pearls... Black being the rarest at 5%... Next up was Kasia... She gets a 7.75 Pink Pearl!!! Aww mannn... Were all picking good ones!!! Mee Next!!!:yay: An Ivory Pearl 7MM a Plain Jane Pearl... Umm OK!!! You think my Daughter would trade with me... Ofcouse not!!! Now you may ask what we all do with a single pearl?!?! Ummm Research!!! Found on the boards a link to actual Cinderella Carriage Pearl Cages... Perfect Right!!! I figured she could use it on a Necklace or Charm Bracelet, She was soo surprised! She really loved it :love: Now she had something special to remind her of us and our special first meeting! We grabbed a few Saki Bombs on the way out and we were on our way!

Next to the American Adventure... Another favv of Marks... Me I'll Pass... Once is enough!!! We grab a Shaved Ice and head to the shade to wait while the boys catch the show! It was nice to be able to sit and just people watch... Got to chit chat with the new family! They really are 2 awesome people that are soo made for eachother... They are like an almost mirror image of Mark and Myself... But it's soo nice to finally have some one to know what it's like to live with these Gaumond Men... After about a 30 min heart to heart we decided to head out and leave World Showcase to head to a Meet and Greet in Innoventions...

The Meet and Greet is for Members of the Disney Credit Card... I don't have one but Sal and Kasia did and it was super sweet of them to invite us to join them...
2q3r62s.jpg

It was really neat... Just our family with Minnie and Goofy... We were in there for a while too... I think Nevaeh was a bit Star Stuck too... I think this was one of her first few times seeing Minne! After we left some lil girl, Im not saying any names, NEVAEH, was getting super cranky and that was my note to leave!!! We make a quick escape to our room for a few hours cause she was getting Nasty... She was overly tired and just had enough... I was happy to go back too... Gives me some time to relax a bit before our dinner at Chef Mickeys and our Wishes Cruise!!!

More to Come!!!

Ohh yaa!! I just wanted to annouce to everyone that were goin back!!! Just booked today!!! Dec 11th-18th POFQ Our 1st Holiday in Disney!!! Super Exicted!!! 180 days this Monday!!! Got our ADRs all figured out and looking into the MVMCP heard its pretty awesome!!! Yayyy now I get to do a PTR!!! LOL
 
So after a nap and a nice bath for the baby were ready to head to
vwpx8o.jpg

Now this was our fist time dining there for dinner, but we were super excited!!! I mean we were finally going to see Mickey and the Gang!!! Again me more excited for the kids... Before we even check in I try to get a pic of the kiddies in their Mickey Gear.
2h5lorb.jpg

Nevaeh astonished by the passing "MomoRail" as she called it... I guess she wasn't expecting it to go through the building!

Or ADR was at 6:30 and the Cruise was at 8:30... We were on a time limit so we arrived 30 mins before hand... I see this massive line, all tryin to check in so I figured I would wait while the others explore the Contemporary... We were basically called for our picture and to be seated at the exact time of our ADR... Not to mention we added Sal and Kasia cause they decided to join us last minute... I tried for 2 months prior to our trip and there were no openings.

149sg3l.jpg

Here we are again!!! The whole Gang!!!

After a long day at Epcot we were all soo ready to relax a bit and fill our tummies... The food was pretty blah to me... It wasn't amazing but it wasn't horrible... We prefer breakfast there! Mark and Sal enjoyed the Carved Meats... Me eating off of the kids buffet as usual...

We were not there for the food... Our number 1 reason for being there was Mickey!!! This was gonna be our first time meeting him and what better place then Chef Mickeys! First up was Chef Goofy!!!
2d7d8pk.jpg

Aidan loves Goofy... Always has been his favv...
10rk9dg.jpg

That there is a beyond happy little boy... At that moment I had to grab his cheeks and kiss his lil face cause he was makin me soo happy!
Next was Minnie!!!
xng7yh.jpg

Minnie was the cutest!!! Minnie loved Nevaeh's outfit soo much she almost insisted that we take Nevaeh out of her High Chair so I can take a picture of them together... Duhhh Why didn't I think of that?!?!?!
2m4slsg.jpg

Smile Nevaeh!!! I guess she didn't want to get up!
Then was Donald
2zq5368.jpg

And then finally MICKEY!!! You have no idea how long we've waited!!! Finally the mouse himself!!!
2ez1p4p.jpg

It was awesome finally seeing the kids reaction to meeting him for the 1st time... Ughh... Where is Photo Pass when I need them?!?!?! Mickey spent just enough time with our entire table... Kasia had to also get a pic with Mickey and he glady did... Gave her a big hug and lots of kisses... But just before he left he went back to Nevaeh where she was waiting to give him kisses!
ih4jdd.jpg

Last but not least was Pluto...
40z06.jpg

He was Super Silly!!! Too bad Aidan wasn't around to catch him! We really did enjoy Chef Mickeys... We decided that we will always go back there for Breakfast...

I check the time and it was a tad past 8... Again me beyond excited cause we finally get to head down to the Marina... Finally our Wishes Cruise!!!
 
Aww....your kids look so cute in their Mickey/Minnie outfits! Loved the pics with the characters :thumbsup2 We've never eaten at Chef Mickey's and while I was making ADR's for our upcoming trip, I couldn't decide on breakfast or dinner so didn't make them. Maybe I will trade something for breakfast and try it out. My GS will be 3 by then and should have a fun time with Mickey and the gang!
 
We've always loved Chef Mickeys Breakfasts!!! Soo sadd we won't be visiting there our next trip... But at least we got to have both meals there! Chef Mickeys is definately a must do!!!
 
So I definatly planned it perfect!!! We just finished dinner at Chef Mickeys that was pretty good and now were bout to hop on our own boat to catch Wishes!!!

Were set to sail at 8:30 so we can catch Wishes at 9... Or Captain was Michele... She was attending school though Disney... Earlier in the day she actually worked the Pirate Cruises and at night she got to do Wishes so she said it really is a great job and told us how fourtunate she was to have a job like this within Disney! She was from the south and been driving boats her whole life she told us... Then we begin to pull away!
e7exwl.jpg

As we drove around the 7 Seas Lagoon she told us things about the Resorts that we passed and lil Disney Tid Bits... She was super sweet! The whole time we were together she reminded me of someone... Someone who I've seen numerous time on this very Vacation but It just wouldn't come to me... We finally get to our viewing spot...

Perfect view of the Castle and the WDWRR... We were a few minutes early for the fireworks so she pulled out some snacks and drinks for the kiddies... Mostly soda's and chips... Gave us a few seconds to get settled in me with my camera rolling patiently awaiting Wishes! Then it starts...
2zirmme.jpg

15fp11i.jpg

It was amazing... I mean this is the way to see Wishes... It was actually my Mothers Day Gift from the family!!! An amazing one at that! The music is beautiful... I tear up just thinking about it and thinking about how lucky we all were to be able to see this together!

Next was the Electrical Water Parade!!! Again me slacking with the pictures but I did spend an hour trying to figure out how to upload the actual video of both but no luck tonight...

The water parade was awesome... Another Must See but you do have to do your research to catch this... It passes by the Waterside Resorts and MK at certain times and when your at the perfect spot you can catch it... I was only able to get one good pic cause I had the camcorder in my hand the whole time!
2nm3lv4.jpg

This was actually a pic of the ending... Soo Sadd I misses soo many great pictures... But there is always next time!!!

Then it finally dawned on me who this girl reminds me of... The Disney Chick from the Disney Must See TV Station at the Resorts... You know the one!!! With the quirky, obnoxious girl... That was soo her!!! But much more pleasant... She empties the snacks into my back pack, literally and then we say our good byes!!! Mark was bustin her beans the entire ride and she really got a kick out of our family... She said most other guest are soo serious!!! We take that as a compliment and were off...

At this point were at the Half Way point to my Trip Report... Soo saddd... I feel that this vacation is offically over! But atleast we have our memories!

Untill Next Time!!!
 
Ah yes...Stacy! We love watching her at the Resorts. She is so perky and has so much fun (some seem to find her obnoxious but we like her :thumbsup2)

That Wishes cruise was awesome - what a beautiful way to watch Wishes!
 
I'm loving your report! You planned it really well - you and my husband should compare notes sometime!

Seriously? That woman cursed at you that way? Who does that? Especially around so many children!!! And at WDW!!!! I guess you can't pack class in a suitcase if you don't have it in the first place.

But...no...lapu lapu? Are you serious? I still haven't managed to have one - the first time DH did, my stomach was bothering me (a dole whip made me kinda sick) so I didn't get to enjoy it (but he giggled throughout dinner so I figured it was kinda potent!), and last time I just totally forgot. I'm so bummed!!! I actually just texted DH and told him I was going to start throwing things around my desk in anger. :laughing:
 
Wow can't beleive it's really been 6 week sense my last update!!! Soo much has ben goin on with the end of School, Recitals, and Summer Camp!!!

Not to mention us planning our up comming trip this December!!!! :banana: And we get free Dining!!! But a lot has been goin on which has been keeping me away from the DIS but Im back... Need to finish up this trip report so I can begin my PTR for our Christmas Trip!!! Yayyyy Right!!!!

But I do have a few things to share from what has been keeping me soo Occupied!!!

1st was my lil girls 1st Dance Recital!! Proud Mama Here!!! Can you tell?!?!?! She was in the smallest age division and most of her songs were actually all Disney Songs... So I couldn't have been happier!!!

This one is from "Jungle Room." Its actually from the Imagination Movers!!! Huge Movers fan here... Now if only they could come to New England!!! Check out my lil girlie there all the way to the left.

But now that Im back Im super excited to finish this May Trip Report!!! I think I didn't want to finish it cause it was almost over... So I left off at Day 5 where we are spending the day at HollyWood Studios that became my new "Happy Place"!!!
 
Thank you for a wonderful trip report! Your children are adorable! I love the AK tshirts--so glad someone asked where you found them. I also love to take photos of WDW signs! I hope you're having a great day!
