I cannot get over the size of that cookie!! Junior may be getting too old to nab a free cookie... but, Wait! We'll have an adorable 23 month old little girl with us on our next trip...


Say, if you're looking for airfare to Orlando, NWA is having a great sale - $150 ROUNDTRIP from Minneapolis! Can you believe it?! The sale is actually through our dates so we booked our flight this morning!

Another happy day in the MK!! I love that Henry can charm cookies out of the CM's! He is a cutie!!
I am interested in reading about your Jungle Cruise ride... did you like it?
Did you take Henry into the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse? I can remember going in that when I was in 4th grade! And that was a looong time ago (the park was only a year old! yikes!)
I like your mirror photo in the bakery, very clever.

So cute that Henry brought you his shoes to indicate that he was ready to go. And, that the little guy was able to flirt his way into another free cookie, go Henry!

How funny... this is the song that we know at home by heart and I was just mentioning this cd in my pretrip report!... my girls would love to see them perform. We listen to one of our WDW CDs and sing it nightly... it is in the kitchen CD player... I am pretty sure that even my six month old would recognize the toon! And yes it stays with you forever...

That is ironic timing!! I also don't think I noticed your PTR, I gotta subscribe!!

That song is SO catchy. I think I would like to have it on CD or my iPod - it is such a good reminder of the trip for me, and is "so Disney World" to me. It just puts me in a good mood!

The whole skit was really cute! I hope you get to see it!

Oh my goodness, that cookie is bigger than his head!! And how cute that he just waves goodbye to the cookie and gets excited about the fruit. Not sure how much longer you're going to get away with that! I am really looking forward to the Main Street Bakery on the next trip!!

Can't wait to hear about yummy cheeseburgers in the next chapter. I have a cheeseburger addiction!

Hope Henry is feeling better and that you guys had a more restful night!

I know it! Those cookies are just massive! And oh so tasty.

I am very thankful of his willingness to wave bye-bye to things like giant cookies. We do this sort of trick almost daily, with various things he wants in the stores, etc. I am dreading the day he realizes really what that all means and has a longer attention span so we can't distract him as easily!

I have a cheeseburger addiction as well. Friday nights Joe and I usually do a "splurge" dinner, cheeseburgers are often my #1 choice!!

Henry is feeling better! Last night he only woke up once, at 4:00 am. It took until around 4:45 am to get him back down, but it was SO much better than 11 pm, 12 am, 2 am and 6 am! He also slept until 7:45 this morning and was his normal happy self. He also ate some dinner last night, it seems his appetite it starting to return!

You are the bestest, Brook! Thank you! Everytime I see the balloons, I smile .

I am so glad that you said you didn't really taste any coffee in the latte because it looked yummy enough for me to order -- now I know better.

How funny that Henry got another cookie!!!

Looking forward to hearing how you liked the Jungle Cruise!!!

Quick question: do you plan which parks you go to before you leave or do you just go wherever your mood strikes?

I'm so glad you like them! They are such a nice trademark of Disney World and MK.

Ya, the latte wasn't anything great. Very blah. I have tried the Mocha Floats from Sleepy Hollow in Adventureland (I believe? I can look that up for sure if you are interested) and those were good!

We did plan what park on what day, but also left it open to be changed if we deemed necessary. This particular day where we ended up at MK was supposed to be a "no plans" day, but since Joe was sick the day before, we shuffled it around. On our "no plans" days, we planned to do whatever park, or whatever event, we felt like doing that day. We planned to not plan!

WOW what a cookie!! Henry really knows how to work his charm at such a young age...you better watch that cutie with the ladies!! LOL!!

Loved the pic you took at the bakery, what a neat shot!! Very creative, Brook!!

Sounds like a great start to your MK day, so glad to hear Joe was feeling better and the weather looks like a perfect touring day to me...ahh, to be there now!!!!

He can really charm it up with the ladies...we were eating at a local diner lately and he took one look at our waitress, smiled and blew her a kiss. She about melted! He'll be dangerous for sure!

Whoa, I can't believe that cookie! We've never seen those, they're HUGE!!!!! Great update, it sounds like you all had a great, relaxing morning!

I don't know if the Bakery actually sells those or not...they seem to come from "out of nowhere". I would imagine they sold them, but maybe they just keep 'em back there for spreading the PD! They really are huge though! And tasty!

That cookie is a monster! Yum. How hilarious that he nabbed another one for you guys. Cute baby = free cookie. LOL!

I know, it was really funny - we love to joke about our child getting us free stuff. We bought a new car this past weekend and on the way down I wondered aloud if we would get a good discount due to his cuteness!

I cannot get over the size of that cookie!! Junior may be getting too old to nab a free cookie... but, Wait! We'll have an adorable 23 month old little girl with us on our next trip...

Junior is SO STINKIN' CUTE I bet he could charm 'em! And with the 23 month old girl, you have a killer combo. I forsee a yummy cookie in your near future!

$150 is incredible!!!!!!! Congratulations on that flight! Wow! I just looked up our dates and it's at $219 w/ tax. Which isn't too shabby either! Right now we don't have the $$ in our account to buy because we just bought a car, but we get paid on Friday, hopefully the price stays or even drops!

The Jungle Cruise update is coming up soon...we'll see what I thought....

We wanted to take Henry into the Swiss Family treehouse, but believe it or not, the line stretched OUT the entrance. No joke! We opted that was not an ideal situation with a 25 pound child....just another thing for December!

 

[brookelizabeth]

So cute that Henry brought you his shoes to indicate that he was ready to go. And, that the little guy was able to flirt his way into another free cookie, go Henry!

It was really cute how he brought us shoes. He did that a few times throughout the trip. Sometimes his, sometimes mine, sometimes Joe's...Joe's shoes are about as long as his lower half, so that was pretty funny seeing him carry around a giant shoe!

I'm hoping Henry can flirt his way into a good deal on a new house should our current home ever sell.

 

[jenjolt]

Another fabulous update!! WTG Henry on cookie #2! That is just way too cute!!! I hope Henry was able to enjoy part of that cookie!!!!!

Jungle Cruise I can't wait to hear your take on it!! Corny puns are just up my alley and I love that ride..not as much as Haunted Mansion...you and I need to have a talk one of these days about how you have never ridden it LOL! (Just kidding LOL)

Yummy cheeseburgers...I didn't get a cheeseburger at all this last trip at least I don't remember...I'm so going to have to remedy that. I cant' wait to hear where you got a fabulous cheeseburger at!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

a giant cookie for Henry! [/COLOR]

Oh my!! That's one big cookie, baby!

What a cute photo!

 

[CJsMom]

Another free bi-gantic cookie - woohoo!! All the food from the bakery looks yummy - must add it to my "to-do" list!

 

[SoonerGirl]

$150 is incredible!!!!!!! Congratulations on that flight! Wow! I just looked up our dates and it's at $219 w/ tax. Which isn't too shabby either! Right now we don't have the $$ in our account to buy because we just bought a car, but we get paid on Friday, hopefully the price stays or even drops!

I'm so jealous of your cheap flights! I just checked this afternoon for our trip and if we fly from here it's $625 per person and if we drive 3 hrs south and leave from Dallas it's $400.

I am glad that Henry is feeling better -- I can't believe that I forgot to type that before.

I will have to remember the Mocha Floats -- you should do a list of the places where the coffee is decent like your PP list.

I am really trying to figure out what parks, what days lately -- I really need to stop stressing until the hours for June are out.

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

What a great update. I cant wait to hear the rest of the day. That cookie is the size of his upper body. OMG. What a score again!!

 

[rustysfr56]

geeezzzzzz....that cookie is bigger than Henry is!!!!!!
i read your last trip report and have to say, i saw this new one and i have caught myself up in 1 day..its an addiction
You keep talking about the main street bakery which i didnt even know about and now when we go in august im going to make a beeline right for it!!
i love reading about your trip..keep it comin!!

 

[lazydoxy66]

Poor Henry! I hope he is recovering. I think I can speak for all of us when I say we will be here whenever you get sidetracked. Family comes first.

I am glad that this MK day started out gorgeous. That cookie is awesome. I hope Henry can get many more. You got your FPs too. Now please tell me that you did get to use them!!

 

[A's Princess]

WTG on the cookie! I don't think I've ever seen one that big before. He's quite a charmer!

Great update BTW!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Oh yes, Henry did get to enjoy part of it! And he looooooooved it!

I love corny jokes too! The next update with corny jokes is actually not about the Jungle Cruise though...we'll just have to wait on that review...or maybe I didn't get to ride it?! Hmmm...we'll see!

I know! I know! I GOTTA ride the HM. I will, I will!

I loooooove cheeseburgers. And on vacation, I love to eat several of them. The review of that is coming up (hopefully today!)

Oh my!! That's one big cookie, baby!

What a cute photo!

I know it! They are HUGE cookies!! He was just thrilled!

Another free bi-gantic cookie - woohoo!! All the food from the bakery looks yummy - must add it to my "to-do" list!

It is so yummy! I can't not eat there now since we've tried it.

I'm so jealous of your cheap flights! I just checked this afternoon for our trip and if we fly from here it's $625 per person and if we drive 3 hrs south and leave from Dallas it's $400.

That is so wrong! I have a good friend from OK (she lives in NYC now) and it's always SO STINKIN' expensive to fly in and out of there! What is the deal?! I hope it goes down some for you!

I am glad that Henry is feeling better -- I can't believe that I forgot to type that before.

I will have to remember the Mocha Floats -- you should do a list of the places where the coffee is decent like your PP list.

Henry IS feeling better! We slept through the night last night!

I should do a coffee list! That's not a bad idea...good for my records too. Some places are definetly better than others too.

I HATE it when the hours aren't out. They didn't release our November ones foreverrrrrrrrrrr either. How in the world can you plan ADRs and all that without the hours!! I hope they come out soon!

What a great update. I cant wait to hear the rest of the day. That cookie is the size of his upper body. OMG. What a score again!!

Thank you! Hopefully another update is coming today. I have to do my self-review for work, blah. But, I think I might be able to squeeze it all in.

That cookie IS huge. When I took the pic of it back in November of just the cookie, it didn't do it justice! You can really tell how gi-normous it is compared to Henry!

geeezzzzzz....that cookie is bigger than Henry is!!!!!!
i read your last trip report and have to say, i saw this new one and i have caught myself up in 1 day..its an addiction
You keep talking about the main street bakery which i didnt even know about and now when we go in august im going to make a beeline right for it!!
i love reading about your trip..keep it comin!!

Welcome!!!!! So glad you are enjoying the TRs! I know what you mean about the TRs being an addiction. I have so many subscriptions I can't ever keep up on them. But I LOVE 'em!

The Main Street Bakery is super yum. It's on the right hand side as you are headed for the Castle, the 2nd to last store. The line will sretch out the door sometimes in the morning, but it goes fast and is worth the wait!

Poor Henry! I hope he is recovering. I think I can speak for all of us when I say we will be here whenever you get sidetracked. Family comes first.

I am glad that this MK day started out gorgeous. That cookie is awesome. I hope Henry can get many more. You got your FPs too. Now please tell me that you did get to use them!!

Henry is feeling better! He slept all night last night (YAY!) and his appetite is returning. We can just really tell he's getting back to his normal self.

We'll see if I get to use the FPs or not....

WTG on the cookie! I don't think I've ever seen one that big before. He's quite a charmer!

Great update BTW!

Thanks! I think the only time I've seen a cookie that big is from a Cookie Store in the mall when I grew up. You could order a giant cookie and have it decorated for birthdays, etc. Like a cake!


It's snowing like CRAZY here in Minnesota today. We are supposed to get 6 inches. Just when it had all melted, here we go again!

Henry is feeling MUCh better. He slept all the way through the night last night. He is happier, eating better and just getting back to his normal self. It's a great relief! Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers!

I hope to get an update done today! If not today, maybe tonight since we'll be shut-ins by then!

 

[SoonerGirl]

That is so wrong! I have a good friend from OK (she lives in NYC now) and it's always SO STINKIN' expensive to fly in and out of there! What is the deal?! I hope it goes down some for you!

I KNOW! I have no idea why we can't get decent rates out of here, it's frustrating. I really don't understand why Dallas is so high, it's a direct flight and I'm pretty sure Dallas to Orlando is closer than Minneapolis to Orlando I paid $260 out of Dallas for me and DS to go last summer and I expected it to be somewhat higher during Christmas, but not that much! Oh well, we still have a looooooong time before we need to book flights, maybe they'll come down. (Let's hope they do, cause if not DH wants to drive )

Glad to hear Henry is feeling better and I'm looking forward to your update!

 

[Donald is #1]

Wow, Henry is going to be known as




"Cookie boy"

I'm glad to hear he's feeling better. Croup is so awful!

 

[gellybean]

Ok I have to confess... that I've spent the better part of the afternoon trying to teach Jack-Jack how to blow kisses so we can get a cookie like that on his next trip!
Pathetic I know!

Love the picture of Henry playing with his ju-ju's. Jack-Jack is just starting to play with little toys. It's so stinking cute when they start that kinda stuff!

Glad you guys had a great day with no mishaps and no one sick... at least so far! Can't wait to read more more more!!!

Dallas to Orlando has got to be MUCH closer than from MSP! I just don't understand it. I really hope they come down and you can avoid driving!

Wow, Henry is going to be known as




"Cookie boy"

I like it!

I'm glad to hear he's feeling better. Croup is so awful!

Thank you! Yes, it really is awful! His was only "mild", I cannot imagine it full-blown. I would have been beside myself.

You are AWESOME! How's he doing? He's sooooooo adorable, him blowing a kiss is a SHOE-IN for a cookie!

I love it when Henry plays with his little animals and makes random noises and trots them around. It's amazing to see their imagination! My favorite is when he makes his stuffed animals "talk".

I am still going to try to get the update on tonight. We recorded last nights episode of Lost (we have church during the time it's on), so we are going to watch that, then it's DIS TIME!
