30 DAYS LEFT UNTIL YOU SEE MICKEY!!!!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

So, Harry Potter is not opening until June! now I wish I would have gotten Ashton and I a one day ticket and a one day ticket to Seaworld. I know Gwendolyn and Dayne is going to be very very disappointed! Oh! well...

 

[leamom2princesses]

Great flashback pic of Dayne and great pics from last years trip Connie. Hooray for 30 days!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about the Harry Potter World but you might get lucky and get to be part of a soft opening. That would be really cool!

I love all the pictures! So cute with Ashton using the chopsticks! I don't even try anymore.

Sorry you're going to miss the Harry Potter opening.....stink! Oh well....you'll just have to go back soon! (Like we NEED a reason!)

Happy 30 Days!

Is there any hope of a soft opening when you're there? June is really cutting it close for "Opening SPRING 2010"

 

[longing2Batdisney]

I really think soft opening will be the middle and end of May...I agree Shannon, their spring opening is the two days before the official start of summer

Wait...what is IOA? (I am sure it is SO obvious--I am just stumped). My kids love Dr. Seuss!

Pretty sure it's Islands of Adventure.

Yes, IOA= Islands of Adventure at Universal Studios Florida; it is the newer park and has Seuss Landing, Marvel Comics area(the big rides), Jurassic Park, and soon Harry Potter section. Universal Studios is more traditional it has Nickelodeon, Jaws, the Mummy, Men in Black, what was Back to the Future now is the Simpsons ride, and Barney, ET and Woody Woodpecker and few other attractions. They are not Disney by no means and will never be...but, they are a step up from six flags right under Disney and the older kids love it just as much because of the thrill rides. Gwendolyn said she loves Disney for the magic and US/IOA for the thrills

That stinks about missing the Harry Potter by just 8 weeks or so! I bet that the park will be SO QUIET though because everyone is holding off for that. Always looking on the bright side of things!!!!

I loved the pictures from the last trip. Ashton is such a cutie!!!!

Ashton is just too cute with the chopsticks. We used them for the first time in May while we were in Disney World. 2 of my kids did better than me as well. Not easy at all!

GOOD JOB ASHTON!!!

 

[BippityBoo]

Thank you so much for posting those pics and letting me know that it is where the new Harry Potter park will be! My sister in law wants to go see the HP park in December, but I did not know if I should bring the kids. Looks like there is lots to do!

 

[leamom2princesses]

Hope you've got a great weekend in the works Connie!

Your lab is too cute! We have a lab too, Jeter. He's about the same size as your dog. How old is he?

Great updates, Ashton looks too cute with the chopsticks

Buddy turned a year around Jan 1 we do not know his exact bday all Dayne told us was around new years 2009

Ashton is so studious when he is trying to conquer something. This was his second time using them (I wasn't there for the first time) that night was the first time I was actually able to eat with them; but, I was eating sushi and rather large wasabi shrimp (so it was kinda easy) don't think I could have eaten the noodles like Ashton was doing

Jeter turned one in September

He must have a talent with chopsticks!

I brought the kids to the Disney store (but the outlet store did not have the Easter event--so, I just spent money instead) today. We also found the Easter Bunny. When we came home we played outside today the following is some of the pictures of our afternoon outside...our weather is beautiful sunny and 72 degrees...

Chloe asked Ashton if he was a crawfish? and wanted to go for a swim?!?
the second shot is his response!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Hope everyone else is having a wonderful weekend!

(Megan- when I came home Danny had a bag of Belle Rivers waiting on the back porch for me! )....

Wow, Connie, I was really behind. I'm so sorry!
Woo hoo!!! Under a month to go now!!! That's so exciting. Pretty soon you'll be dragging out the suitcases. I would pack pants and a sweatshirt for everyone. When it rains it gets pretty chilly. Last May we needed pants and a sweatshirt one night.
Looks like a fun little get a way to Nashville. Cute pictures of the kids! I love how quickly kids make friends. They start talking like they have known each other their whole lives in minutes. Yay for a DIS Meet.
I'm so bummed about Harry Potter. I was really looking forward to The HM ride in IOA. I'll only be missing it by about 2 weeks.
Yay for paying the trip off.
Ashton and Chloe are so cute together. I'm glad he has someone his age to play with.
Happy belated birthday to Gwendolyn!!! I'm no good with chop sticks either.
