Thanks everyone for the well wishes! We are having a great time. Our ADR for 'Ohana was at 8:20am. There was a huge line when we arrived at 8:10. By the time we left at 9:45am, there was no line. HTH!

WAY TO GO REES! YOU TELL HIM THAT WE ARE ALL PROUD OF HIM AND CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT HIS ADVENTURES!!!​

Denise,
I saw in some recent photos of the Contemporary they were doing some construction by the bus station. I was wondering what exactly are they doing and is it going to be finished soon?

Today was great. We got up early for breakfast at 'Ohana. The line to check in was 20 minutes , but we were seated around 10 minutes later. The food was good, and the kids love the parade and Stitch. Stitch took Rees' milk and drank it, and they thought that was hilarious. Then we bought some pins (Rees now wants to trade too) and headed to the MK. The crowds were great today, and it was cooler with overcast this am. Wait times were very nice (20 min for Pooh, 20 min for Splash, 10 for BTMRR, 10 for Buzz).

We rode Aladdin's carpets, Jungle Cruise , POC (which Rees rode and LOVED!), Splash (which drenched DD, DS, and me), HM (Rees didn't ride), Pooh, Teacups, Indy Race Cars, Buzz, and then Laugh Floor. At the Laugh Floor DH was picked at the beginning to dance, and then Rees was selected at the end by Mike W's nephew for the kid who tells what he wants to be (Rees said a pilot). The show is adorable. Then we headed to the Castle to eat at CRT for dinner. the food was good and we all enjoyed the Celebration show. After dinner we went to Toontown and rode the train around the MK, saw Mickey and Minnie's house and Donald's boat. Then Rees out of the blue said he wanted to ride Goofy Barnstormer. Well, he ADORED it and insited on riding again immediately. Then he asked if we could go back to BTMRR because he wanted to ride THAT! I was SHOCKED! Well, we rode it and he loved it and wasn't scared even of the dark tunnel with the bats!!! So we rode it again twice. Then he asked if we could go back to AK to try EE. I am so happy that he was able to conquer some of his fears and sensory issues and ride POC and 2 roller coasters today. What a huge difference. This is the child who we couldn't get to go on Peter Pan 2 years ago. We just had the best time today.

After BTMRR we got a Dole Whip float (hi, Marti! ) and some treats at the Main Street Confectionary. Then we came back to the CR and watched Wishes from the 4th floor balcony. We are now packing up to head to the BC tomorrow to check in. We go back to DHS tomorrow and then Epcot on Friday.

Have a great night and celebrate with me that Rees did so well!

Denise, I got teary-eyed reading this! I know too well what a HUGE milestone this is for Rees and your family! I hope the rest of the trip continues to be as magical. Say Hi! to BCV for me, and enjoy your stay at the Beach Club!

What an amazing day. One I am sure you will remember forever!!!

So looking forward to hearing more (and more about the Beach Club)!

 

[princessesrule4]

So glad you had such a magical day!

There's another family reporting live from the BC on this board - mabye you'll run into each other!

 

[triplefigs]

We are checked into the BC and we picked up our seat tickets to the Disney Channel games concert on Saturday. We have a very nice standard room on the 2nd floor. It is over the courtyard facing the little mermaid statue and has a full balcony. We literally are 20 steps from the stairs in the lobby so it couldn't be more convenient. I also was able to change the bounceback date to Dec 1-14 at the CR Bay Lake view. We are pulling into the HS parking lot now.

Denise -- congrats to Rees! I have those same feelings when Andrew overcomes sensory obstacles. What a difference a couple of years makes for Rees! I'm so proud for him and for you!

I hope the PD continues!

 

[PNO4TE]

YAY!!! for Rees!!

And I hope your stay at the BC is as wonderful as the time you all spent at the Contemporary!

 

[triplefigs]

The DCG parade is at 2:15pm and will have ALL the stars!!! We have our shady spot all saved. The kids are going to flip!

 

[lmartin2711]

Don't let no one get in front of you at the last minute. That irritates me more than anything. I sit there for over an hour and save the "prime spot" and late comers try and stand right in front of me.

Let us know who all is there!! I will check back after the parade.

That sounds wonderfull. Maybe in December on my families arrival day to the Contemporary I might run into you, since you happen to be checking out the next day.
