Where Pixie-Dusted Birthday Dreams Come True! A July Trip Report! PTR Link! Pg. 116

[If U Had Wings]

I love rollercoasters and I'd be scared for life if I got stuck on one. One of my trips to Disney I talked to a guy who had once been stuck on Space Mountain for an hour. I'm glad that your family didn't get stuck.

Stumbled on your trip report and would like to join the party. Hope that's alright!

I must say though - in the last 4 years I would estimate we've ridden the GMR a dozen times and we have NEVER gotten hijacked by the cowboy.

I love how serious Connor took his tasks.

 

[Poolrat]

So glad Connor got the full " toy soldier" experience. I love how that little extra happens on Pixar Place.

What a wonderful morning in DHS so far.

I worry about getting stuck on a thrill ride at Disney, not that I ride many of them but still. The prospect scares the crap out of me.

I love the pictures of Connor with the solider, I have seen them doing that little boot camp and it's so cute!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

What fun Connor had with the Toy Soldier. I love the little things that Disney does like that! The smile the solider is giving at the end is hilarious.

We too have gotten both the gangster and cowboy both equally.

In all the GMR rides I can remember we've never seen the cowboy, it's always been the gangster for some reason.

Fun experience Connor had with the Toy Soldiers. They seem like a hoot!

What a great continuation of your DHS day!!! WOOT WOOT for the cowboy!!!! I have seen the cowboy only twice, didn't even believe that side existed!!! LOL!!

Love Connor's interaction with the Toy Soldier!! He looked very serious and looked like he had a lot of fun!! Love the photo of him and the soldier!!!

Can't wait for more!!!

 

[MegansMom]

I so love the past two updates!!! Even though the day may have started with a "late" start, it sounds like you were having a great time! I love the part about Charles falling asleep......SO shocked! :O Hee hee hee!

 

[vamassey1]

What fun! I love that Connor got recruited. It's the little things like that, that make Disney so special.

Is Connor ready to enlist now?

 

[Wicket's Mom]

We have encountered the cowboy & the gangster on the GMR. I love that ride, I've seen most of those movies.

A few years ago a friend of mine & her daughter were on Spaceship Earth when it stopped. It would not start again so they had to walk down from the top of the hill in the sphere! No way could I do that!

 

[manntra]

Awwww I love that Connor was picked for boot camp!! If there ever was a boy chosen to play in a role at DHS they found their man!!
What a cute story about the girls and Bo I thought of Chelsea when I slung my arm through his in October and of you when I saw the chairs at AKV
Hope you are enjoying your time off!

too cute too fun! Loved seeing Connor ham it up with the army men! Seems like a fun afternoon for sure, and of course the Great Movie ride story!!! FUN!

 

[xoktenox]

I have been on the GMR numerous times and never have gotten the cowboy!

What a great experience for Connor to get to go through that "training" with the Army Man. Too cute!

 

[MeMom]

Little unexpected and fun moments like that make each trip different and special.

I'd say we get the gangster 4 to 1 over the cowboy.

Is there any pumpkin cake left at your house? I could go for a piece for breakfast this morning before I get started.

 

[Native NYer]

Connor is so cute with the green army guy! What a great memory

Did you have a wonderful time??? Were you able to hit the parks much?

Yes, the convention and the YC were both amazing! I'm thinking a stay at the YC in addition to our DVC stay may happen summer 2012. I'm hesistant to change our 10 nights at BLT for August 2011. BLT can be so hard to get. Plus, we do spend a ton of time at the MK. And with monorail access to Epcot and a rental car, we won't NEED the private entrance as much. But it is nice.

I was able to hit the parks everyday after sessions at the convention. The crowds were not bad Thursday and Friday. But Saturday at the MK was a nightmare. Wall to wall people That experience sort of changed my desire to go Christmas week.

Are you booking your summer 2011 vacation soon? Less than a month to book free dining

 

[carissanboys]

What great interaction with the toy soldier!

Happy Thanksgiving, Jackie!

 

[DWGal210]

How sweet of Chelsea's friends to send her that picture!

I am with you on ToT.... Rode once and never again!!

Connor is precious with the soldiers!! That's fun that he wanted to participate.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

 

[klacey1]

Aww, Connor looks too cute in those Toy Soldier pictures! Must have melted your heart that he wanted to participate!
We also have gotten the gangster and cowboy equally.

 

[If U Had Wings]

I love the pics of Connor going through the drills. He'll remember that forever!
