I think hes going to take after his father and actually like spooky and scary things, and not be like his mother who will turn the channel if even a commercial for a scary movie comes on TV.
It's good to hear from you, but we'll definitely still be around later. Enjoy the family time while you have it!
I've never even thought twice about it... if somebody seems to be hung up on playing with one of the features for longer than we are I just go.

[/QUOTE]Those photos of Foster are adorable! I can't wait to get photos of DS this summer.
The interactive queue for rides is pretty ingenius when it comes to toddlers. But, I had no idea about queue etiquette. I always just assumed I could pass people that were taking a long time. Woops.
I'm sorry that the whole Belle experience didn't go over so well. Taking away the regular Meet and Greet aspect does seem a little odd. I know way too many shy kids who just want to go up, say hello, and take their picture, definitely not risk landing in a skit with strangers. I can't see that lasting very long.
I know you must be thrilled to have him home for this stretch! They should definitely make that line more like an Interstate with rest stops...veer off to play with the games while the people wanting to stay on the "main road" keep walking. 
. Disney is definitely for everyone! Sorry you were not impressed with the show. I am wondering how we will like it when we get to visit. I'm sure the length and quality of the wait time has a lot of influence over the opinion of the show as well!
With all quiet on the Western Front, I resumed taking terrible pictures including this gem.
Maybe he should update his phone so he can get some better pictures!
Happy for your family time - and for good weather!
I am right there with you on that. I want no part of scary stuff! My second graders make fun of me.
So glad to have you back! I'm glad to hear y'all are doing well!
I love that Everett loves Haunted Mansion! So cute! I may brave the interactive queue with Reid on our next trip since he did well with the ride.
As much as I love Belle, I am completely underwhelmed by everything I've read about her new meet & greet. It just seems so awkward for everyone and not very enjoyable.
OMG! Those baby pics are so precious and sweet! Of course, I really love the one with the Mickey ears.
Glad you are getting settled into Norfolk!!
Yeah, I'm with you on the "pass the people that are playing" in the HM queue. People very happily passed DF and I when we were checking out all the details, and I was completely fine with that!
Very sweet of Everett to try to console that little one in the Peter Pan queue!
Sorry to hear that the Belle storytime wasn't what you had hoped it would be. It does sound like a strange format for character interaction. I did LOL at your "budding thespians" line!
Yeah, when I'm not planning a trip, or writing a TR I get sad here
So glad to see you back! I'm glad everything is going well with the boys and your time with DH.
Paxton is a HUGE fan of the Haunted Mansion queue! We are frequently telling people to go around us as he spends an infinite amount of time pushing the books back into the bookcase.
I definitely laughed at Everett trying to reassure that little boy scared of Peter Pan...how adorable!!
I can just about imagine that meltdown over some sticks. Paxton has similar meltdowns over random objects. Leaves, sticks, fuzz off the carpet, you name it. It's like we are snatching away his most prized possession!
Okay that guy in the ETwB pic made me
Looking forward to the next update!
And I'm sad I missed out on seeing the pics of Everett & Foster, but I'm sure they were adorable!
Now that really is a little gem of a picture!
Anyho - so glad you are all settled into your new digs. Hope all is going well.
Yeah - I think you may have flunked parenting 101 by taking away those sticks! You really can't separate a boy from his impromptu sticks and stones.
I think all your pictures are wonderful!
We'll be back down at the World from May 8th-14th, and this time we'll be staying in a Cars family suite at AoA. Since it was so last minute, its hard to get DVC reservations, but I really wanted to try out the new resort, so it all works out. Not to mention that Everett is going to LOVE the Cars theme. Its going to be really fun to have him along too! 
Its time to report on some changes!
As you guys know my DH, Mark, is going to be back on deployment in April, and we just recently found out that my SIL's school (she's a teacher) has decided to cancel April vacation since they have missed so many school days due to Hurricane Sandy and snow days. Since two major players were going to have to the vacation if we kept it in April, we decided to push it back to the end of Sept/beginning of Oct.
We'll be celebrating my Dad's birthday a little late, but we'll be enjoying the Food and Wine Festival, so everyone thinks that is a good trade-off. We're going down Sept 26- and staying through Oct 2nd. Right now we're booked at SSR, since that is our home resort, but we're going to try and switch it at the 7th month mark.
BUT- since that seems ever so far away, we decided to take an interim trip.
The trip will be me, Everett, Foster, my Mom, and also my Dad! My father isn't nearly the Disney fan that my Mom and I are, so he usually just sticks to going on our once a year family trips. But, since he'll be retired by May, and really he doesn't have anything else to do, so he decided to come along.
So, now I need to get cracking on planning TWO new trips!
Perhaps it was a blessing the first trip being cancelled...now you have two to look forward to. I bet you that Everett is going to go crazy when he sees the Cars rooms.
Can't wait to see how Everett likes AoA and the Cars theme - would love to take my GS5 on a trip and stay there
