We're home~ Third Time is the Charm TR! **Pictures link pg 18**

Hi, everyone. We had another great day! We slept in so that Rees could catch back up, and he felt much better. Lunch at H&V with the Playhouse Disney characters was really cute. The kids especially loved dancing with them up front. I'm glad we did it this trip, as I have a feeling they may not want to eat there in the not too distant future. DD, DS, and I rode Rockin' roller coaster. DD loved it, and DS wasn't too sure about it. He had tears after he got off, but then seemed to warm up to it as the afternoon went on. I was really impressed as this was his first trip to even ride ANY roller coaster. We went to the new Playhouse Disney show, and it was adorable. The kids loved it since they are still big fans (especially Rees) of MMCH and My Friends Tigger and Pooh. Rees didn't want to go to Little Mermaid today as we left the poncho (he is very sensitive to touch), so we'll go Wednesday. We saw the new Block Party parade, and the kids had so much fun! DD and DS went with DH to Star Wars, we saw most of the HSM new show, and we all went to Lights Motor Action which they all love, and that's where we saw Anne Marie and her family. She said the cruise was really great, and they got to double dip at the beach because there was some kind of problem with the ship. She missed Palo because of that. We had dinner at the Brown Derby, and it was yummy. I finally got to try the Grapefruit Cake! They gave us a Champagne toast complimentary for our anniversary. We were going to go to Fantasmic tonight, but we have an early ADR for Donald's b'fast at the AK, so we came back. Wednesday we'll go to Little Mermaid, Muppet Movie, Indiana Jones (was closed today for the cheerleader competition), Beauty and the Beast, and Fantsmic. We drove back to the CR (and, Marti, you are so right about the van being easier!). We watched Wishes from the balcony tonight and also went to watch the monorails from the 4th floor viewing area.

As far as crowds, there were a TON of cheerleaders in DHS today for the finals of the competition. Lines for standby did seem long to me (70 minutes for RNR, 60 for ToT), but the Fast Pass lines were very quick. The weather is HOT, HOT, HOT (almost 90 today). We are all pink and had to buy some Aloe Vera tonight.

I checked and Sundries had a 1/2 gallon of milk for $2.89, and chocolate milk for around the same. I'll check better later. And we booked the bouceback in Dec for the GF, but I don't think the dates will work so I'll try to change them later.

Tomorrow we go to AK, b'fast at Donald's, and then dinner at Narcoosee's. Have a good night everyone!
 
D - what dates in December? We're toying with 5-15 or something close.



ETA: And I knew I was right about the van - just glad you think so too!

We want to go Dec 9/10 for 4 or 5 nights, so the same as you! But I booked Nov 30 which isn't going to work. Hey, remember the crazy girl from the Judges tent at the P&P? I saw her yesterday at MK being just as crazy

To bad you can't try to go on Dec 13, which is when my family and I are arriving to WDW because it would be great to meet you in person.

That was a fun time wasn't it? I knew you'd get use out of an AP! ;) Book the bounce back woman and the kids and DH's can meet!
 
Wow Denise.....I just got caught up on the trip reports. You had me in emotional tears. This is soooo deserving of your family. I'm so glad everything is going great.
 
Sounds like you are having a ball. Love the tshirts on the kids. An updates on the Wave or the Sand Bar at the CR that you could tell us about.

Have a great time at AK today!! I am so happy this trip is turning out perfect for you guys!! The CR sounds fabulous and I cannot wait to hear about your dinner as I have reservations there in September!! Enjoy your magical day!!
 
Sounds like everyone is having a great time! Thank-you for checking on the items in the Sundries shop! Price of Milk doesn't sound so bad. Do your kids enjoy the pool area? Do they have life vests? We have a Bay lake view booked. My boys loved the pic of your kids on the "speed racer" from Star Tours.

Denise -- sounds like a wonderful trip so far. Sending lots of PD and prayers that you all continue to have a Magical vacation! :wizard:

BTW -- Davis and B-K look great, as usual, but I wanted to comment that Rees looks very healthy, too. I know you all have worked hard to make that happen. Congrats to Rees and to you and John, and thank the good Lord! :goodvibes

I have enjoyed your post so far and can't wait to read more! We leave on wen.4-30th till May 11th I'll keep my eye out for you and you kids!
I love that you dress them alike. I do the same for my DD's who are 3 yrs apart and my DH laughs at me.
Glad to see your having a great time:goodvibes
 
We have had a good day at AK. We did the safari right at opening and then had b'fast with Donald. The food was really good and the kids were thrilled to finally see Daisy. We rode Everest, and DD and DS loved it. We rode the train to Conservation Station, saw the Nemo musical, and Pocahontas show. At FOTLK, DD was chosen to teach the lion section how to roar and then all 3 got to be in it and do the parade. This is their 3rd consecutive time to be in the show! We are now at the Bone Yard which they love. We will probably go ride EE again and then head back. We have dinner at Narcoosee's at 7pm. Tomorrow we go back to MK for the day. Crowds were moderate today. Be back later!
