We're touring Disney like a 3 year old (2TRs in 1!)- UPDATE 5/18 pg. 46

[dawnbu40]

The Halloween picture is so cute! Thanks for sharing

I love this update! You 2 posing in the English garden is adorable! Disney brings out the kid in all of us!

I totally understand your husband's love of the Beach Club. I too love the scent there! (not to mention the pool, the decor, the location)

 

[shan23877]

LOL at the posing!!! My DD does it too. I'll admit that she's watched ANTM, but I won't let her watch Toddlers and Tiaras. Not letting her get any ideas. The Alice meed looked adorable. We missed her last time, I'm sure we won't make that mistake again.

Too funny that you DH didn't warn you that people were walking behind you. Where else is it ok to make a fool of yourself though? It looked to me like you girls were having a great time!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Your little one makes such a cute Rapunzel! Our niece was Rapunzel for Halloween too! (I think she was a popular costume this year )

That's too funny about your husband not warning you about the people behind you. DBF would SO do that to me. Or he would be warning me, and I would completely miss any signal he sent. Either is very likely hahaha.

I would have been all nervous knocking on the doors too if someone actually opened one!

Love your little side trip to the Beach Club! I love the Epcot resort area - it's just so peaceful and wonderful there!

 

[IheartDDuck]

I too am obsessed with Once Upon a Time. I just love the concept of it! It's just so cool to see different takes on the fairy tales.

Joaquin got a Transformer costume this year. Somehow that is not surprising...

I love your DD's princess poses! They're just so priceless.

Thanks, I forgot that I had mentioned that I would post a pic of her in the costume. And I never posted it on FB either, so I figured since I was uploading pics from my camera, might as well tack it on.

Disney has always brought out the kid in me. I may have knocked people (kids) over in my haste to get to a character in the past.

Yes, the Beach Club is a fabulous place to stay. He has been on a hunt for the "smell" at various home stores and candle stores.

I don't think my daughter has seen either of those shows, but she also loves to mimic the dancing and poses from the Fresh Beat Band (on Nick). I was okay with all of the character meets since I feel like we have such a small window in which to enjoy it. Soon enough she'll get "too old" for it all.

Yes, I am not surprised that he didn't warn me. Not at all. But I figured, I will never see these people ever again. So all is fine!

Yes, I think Rapunzel was a very popular costume this year. She has a penchant for picking out the popular costumes, the ones that never go on sale.

Haha, funny. Yes, I was not surprised that he didn't give me a heads up. Oh well.

I was knocking a bit quietly, just in case.

We make multiple side trips to the Epcot resort area on our trips. Even if we don't have a Disney day planned, it's always fun to visit the resorts.

I too am obsessed with Once Upon a Time. I just love the concept of it! It's just so cool to see different takes on the fairy tales.

Joaquin got a Transformer costume this year. Somehow that is not surprising...

I love your DD's princess poses! They're just so priceless.

That show is just so good! I always find myself discussing the show at work and we sit around trying to figure out who is who and what is going on. Like what happened to the prince this last week? I knew he shouldn't have gone off to the woods by himself. I mean, he's a prince- couldn't he send someone to get water?

Did Joaquin dress up as Bumblebee? I was not surprised to see that he picked ttransformers after his extensive discussion on them.

She is out of control with her poses. I love it.

 

[LilAnn]

So I have a bit of a random question - but not too random since it is still related to vacations. We took a trip to Orlando in August and I have been toying with the idea of doing a mini TR of it. I wasn't as meticulous with pics, but still got a fair share of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and some Disney pics. And of course there are character pics with the little gal. Should I tack it on to the end of this TR? Or just start another one? Thoughts? Opinions?​

 

[dawnbu40]

Of course we want to hear about you August stay! I'd love to see your pics of WWOHP and hear what you thought of it!

 

[marDgreen88]

I know, 2 more weeks?! His skin, his mannerisms, and his eyes? Super creepy. Not as bad in the "real world" as Mr. Gold, but in the fairytale world, I would be running in the opposite direction if I saw him.

It was so fun to see the princes scheming together. Can't wait to hear baout Belle's storyline and Sleeping Beauty. But I think that's still a month or two away!

I completely agree! That's just not normal. I have to hand it to the makeup people because they do an excellent job!
I know, I thought that was really cool too. I also like that they gave both 'Prince Charmings' an actual name.
I know! I wonder how they could incorporate the BEAST. That could be cool. It's all so awesome. I just love it.

She is just the cutest Rapunzel!
I love the Beach Club too! Never actually stayed there... but I need to! It's so awesome. I love all the poses! That's hilarious and so cute! Don't worry, I'm sure nobody thought you were one of those psycho moms!
Mmm, I wonder where you had dinner!

 

[Sunset Cliffs]

Her posing is hilarious! She definitely looks like she's been trained. So cute!

My husband would stand there & let me make a fool out of myself too. He'd probably take it one step further and video the whole thing while pretending to be taking pictures. You just need to think of a way to get him back.

I think you should tack on your mini-report to this one. It would probably be easier than starting a whole new report. I definitely want to see your Harry Potter pics!

 

[MEK]

OMG - your daughter has gotten a lot taller. Time for another trip to Disney. I certainly understand you husband's love for the BC. It's such an awesome resort and I loved staying there last May - so convenient.

More cute poses!

So - where's dinner?????

I say if its a small Trip then put it right on the end here. Love more TR!

 

[JessicaFaye508]

Aww what a cute little Rapunzel!
I like your random posing. You guys are too cute! No need to be ashamed - YOU'RE IN DISNEY!
That Alice is so pretty! I like the cape... it's very classy haha
I COMPLETELY understand how your husband has a love for the smell of the beach club. I happen to love the smell as well.
Hahaha what a little princess with all of the posing. TOO CUTE!

 

[LilAnn]

Of course we want to hear about you August stay! I'd love to see your pics of WWOHP and hear what you thought of it!

I totally loved WWoHP! I think I will end up just taking on a mini-TR to this one. So I may need to revise the title a bit.

I completely agree! That's just not normal. I have to hand it to the makeup people because they do an excellent job!

Mmm, I wonder where you had dinner!

Yes, I wonder - do you think the Beast will be there as the Beast? Or as his prince self? I heard that we will learn a lot more about Mr. Gold/Rumplestilskin in that episode too. Creepy, creepy man.

Thanks, I found her to be a funny Rapunzel with her blond streak. But she absolutely loved it. She kept patting her hair.

She has so many poses. And sometimes I don't even know where she comes up with them.

Her posing is hilarious! She definitely looks like she's been trained. So cute!

Haha - are you trying to insinuate that I have trained my little 4 year old daughter to strike all those poses? She's such a character when she is in a good mood.

So, not only would we get only swimmingly and our kids bond instantaneously, our hubbies would also bond over their mischevious ways. And we could all sit around eating rice Krispy treats.

I think I am going to tack on the other mini-TR to this one. I just have to modify the title a bit. Harry Potter was great! I loved it!

Hm, when I think about it, I think she may have only grown about an inch. She just looks so grown up in that pic! You will see just how tall she has gotten in my extended mini-TR coming up.

Nothing beats the convenience of BC. That walk to Epcot is fantastic.

Dinner should be in the next update I think. I have a few more character interactions to get through.

I say if its a small Trip then put it right on the end here. Love more TR!

You know I am taking my cue from you and your multi mini-TR!

Aww what a cute little Rapunzel!

I enjoy many random poses. I end up being such the ham on vacation. And you are right - I'm in Disney! It's okay to act crazy and childish!

Yes, it was a very classy cape (said in a british accent - just like Alice).

You and your smells - haha. The Land, the BC, the Disney water.....I love the BC smell for sure.

She does have her Jessie pose, her Minnie Mouse pose, her princess pose, the list goes on and on.

 

[marDgreen88]

Yeah, it's hard to know. I think it would be pretty awesome if he was in Beast form, but they may just do it like they did for Cinderella and focus on their story after they are already in love and his transformation already happened. Who knows! Haha I'm excited to find out!

The poses are so cute though, seriously. She's very creative!

 

[okw19]

I'm definitely joining in late, but after a very lazy Sunday I am all caught up! I have loved every minute of your TR! My DD is turning 3 in January on our trip so I feel a little more confident taking a toddler having read your two TRs. Can't wait to read more!

 

[RachelNinja]

Haha, you're not biased. Your DD really is the absolute cutest! I love how she's holding Minnie's hand with both of her hands.

I'm glad Jessie is still a fave! I love how much she adores all the characters! Haha, even Lotso's nose is bigger than DD's head! I didn't realize he was really that big!

I love the pictures of your DD trading pins with the Minnie CM! That's so adorable!

I sing "Conjunction Junction" and other songs at school when we go over the grammar lessons (well, the parts I know!), but the longer I teach, the less possibility that the kids actually know what I'm singing!

It's great how she loves the princesses and all the girly things but also loves the green aliens!

Wherever you put those pics of WWOHP, I'm excitedt o see it because I'm in the middle of reading Goblet of Fire! Never read them before, and I haven't finished watching the movies either. Haha, I'm really slow in getting on this Harry Potter bandwagon.

I don't know about the Beast, but I may have heard that Gaston will definitely be featured? or maybe that was just a rumor. I can't remember. That would be fun to see, though.

She loves her poses.

Hi and I am glad that you are enjoying the TRs! That is so much fun that your DD will get to celebrate her birthday in Disney! She will absolutely love all the attention! Our biggest thing with our trips has been not overplanning things. We only have one child, so it's a lot easier for us to do (we definitely noticed this when we travel with extended family with otehr kids) because we don't have the pressure of fitting in every single attraction.

We just went with the flow for most of the trip and paid attention to her cues. Every once in a while we would "convince" her to do things that we knew she would love, but just remember you know her best. For example, as much as I love Haunted Mansion, I know my DD would have been scared witless in that. We catered the trip basically to her - most of the ADRs were based on her fave characters. And the autograph book - best way for us to get her involved with the characters. She was petrified her first trip at 21 months. Sorry for the big side track, but just thought I'd share my thoughts. We just had so much fun taking her at such a young age. So many priceless memories!

Haha, you're not biased. Your DD really is the absolute cutest! I love how she's holding Minnie's hand with both of her hands.

I'm glad Jessie is still a fave! I love how much she adores all the characters! Haha, even Lotso's nose is bigger than DD's head! I didn't realize he was really that big!

Aw, thanks Rachel! She was in love with Minnie this trip. Minnie and Jessie.

Oh my gosh - Lotso was so big! I kinda wanted to go hug him myself just to feel small like that!

She was so into pin trading this trip. I loved it. It was so hard to stop myself from buying more pins so she could trade more.

Yes, she is mosly girly, but she does enjoy all toys! Of course in the Cars 2 movie, her fave car is Holly Shiftwell. Why? Because she is purple.

I think I am going to add the WWoHP pics and mini-TR to the end of this TR. I'm too lazy to start up a whole other one. I may need to modify my title again, though.

Hi LilAnn!
Just found your TR this weekend and have been busy catching up! Sounds like you had a great trip yet again! I've learned so much from your TR, like you could test drive Segways at EP (i missed that one) and that Fergie and Mario were in Kids Incorporated!! OMG!! I used to LOVED that show....I had to go back and google some pics! I'm sooo out of the loop! I didn't know that was Fergie!

I'm also with everyone on Once Upon a Time, we all love that show here! I hope it goes the distance!

If you're into creating photobooks...there is a designer that has a Jessie wordart Freebie right now. I thought of you when I saw it! I'll PM you the web address!

Can't wait to read about WWoHOP!

Hi Hazel! Thanks for joining in!

I find it reassuring that I was not the only one obsessed with Kids Inc and MMC. It was my daily afternoon ritual. I would hurry up with my homework so I could watch the shows. Right? Can you believe that's Fergie?

I am glad I have found more people to discuss Once Upon a Time here, too. Such a good show. I hope it stays this good, it definitely seems to have a good following.

And I got your PM. I do like to create photobooks, as a matter of fact, I still need to make some for the Disney trips. I guess writing the TRs has taken up too much of the spare time. I had some issues with the Jessie art, though. Oh well. Thanks for thinking of me!

WWoHP should be coming up in a few updates. I am nearing the end of this trip and I'll just tack on the mini-TR to teh end of this one.
