Where to begin.....August....Hot **pics added " Now The End"

Mouse 511--Thanks for stopping by. Hope I can keep this up.

Backstage Gal--Glad to see friends from M2 over here and reading.

ems mom---- I have to be quick looked what happened in my last installement
Tom's island had to be the day before because from that day
forward she was in a gown and being a princess.

Lil'G----- I am almost scared to ask what you thought I looked like. Older,
younger? I am a big girl always was, that is why there has never
been a pic. on M2. Glad I am doing a good job. Yes my Mom wears
lots of rings and mutiple chains sometimes. Always a cross one it is
probably under the shirt. She is pretty fast for a woman in her 70's I
tell you. She hugs me like nothing every time we leave in which turn
makes me think she thinks this is the last time. When that day
well I don't even what to think about. I remember you shared your
Mom with us too. Maybe we are one of kind. Borg as the ladies at
M2 say all the time. And now Flagging over there is Sheri. If a
person over there doesn't have an edit she flagged them in big red
letters. Funny part was they never noticed I never edited before I
came back because I didn't know how they did that.

Now I have to go and see I can put my thoughts together and get back on track. I tell you brain cells are dying everyday here. That just means I will have to go back and retrace my steps there........but I sure that won't happen so I will do my best with the old brain.
 
NAB - enjoying so far!

Okay lets try this one more time. I have a sizing problem so hopefully this time it won't scare you.

This is our home away from home:

WOW that is sure a big trailer!!

Grandma with Chip and Dale, notice it is in the 90's and she wears a turtle neck...She hates showing her neck

:rotfl2: NAB - Your Mom is a true Canadian!

And I love the Croc's with the charms!!

:ssst: Don't tell Lou!
 
Since I am a little of track I do know this , we went back to the hotel in the afternoon because it rained every afternoon for about an hour. The guys again went to Disney Quest and would meet back up at Epcot for dinner.

This was good because us girls would make our way around the world. Well at least half way. Hannah wanted to see Pooh. Pooh is in the U.K. at Epcot. So off we go. We do indeed find Pooh and Eyeore. No Piglet. Didn't see him the whole trip. Did see Tigger at M.K. Any way we are standing in line and are almost there and she says she doesn't want to anymore. What do mean you don't want too. No I want to do something else. I was tempted to say we are almost there ,we well stay but this was for her not me and if she doesn't want to that is fine. Why forced it. Who would be happy then. So off we go. We go look in the gardens and shop along the way. Time goes fast because it is time for us to be at Chef de France. The guys show up in time to sit and wait. I think we waited 30 minutes. That was okay we were people watching again. It is late and alot of sleeping babies, and crying babies. But there are lots of kids running with those masks. You know the ones. Go to every country and get a shape and stampfrom that country. When you go to every country and have all the stamps the last one gives you a certicate that you finish. We did they in Jan. and trips before that. Takes along time and then we miss alot because they are running to the next one. They never asked to do it this time. Hannah did get the kids spot thing at the Test Track though.

Anyway we get into Chef de France. We get a window seat which is great because the fireworks are about to begining. One problem there is a glare on the windows so all you can see is us. We got our appetizers and are waiting on our entrees so hubby takes the kids outside to watch. Hannah plugs her ears because they are loud. She does this a lot in shows too. The level of sound is hard on her. Fireworks are over just in time because our food has come. Two thumbs up for this place too. The french onion soup to die for. I shared my again with Hannah. I was surprised how much she wanted to try because she is a picky eater. Could live on cheese. I don't think she ate a dessert on this trip, that made Nicholas happy because he could have off our menu.

Supper over and we head out. Hubby thinks we should rush back to the bus but I know they run for hours after the park closes. We just left a full restaurant. It was beautiful walking back going thought the U.K. with no people but a few lights to light the way. It looked like a quinte little village. MouseGear was still even open this being after 10. And sure enough the bus was there waiting to take us back.

Back to swimming and bed. I think were always in that pool at night, never missed a night even if it was only for 30 minutes. Nicholas was taking no chances this time with the call so he said he wanted to sleep with Grandma. He did for the rest of the trip but that was okay with Hannah she liked the trundle. No fighting all is good.

So now you know we went back to Magic Kingdom in the morning , shopped before we went back for the afternoon. But what did Daddy buy his little girl......
 
yes, yes what did Daddy buy his little girl? I bet something really good right!? can't wait to hear!:)
 

NAB~ I have to admit...I've only read the first few installments...then I fast forwarded to the pics...I'm a picture junkie...I like to have the picture in my head when reading...just a few comments...

1. Go MOM! with the crocs!!!!!!! (The whole family actually!)
2. Hannah truly IS a princess!!!!!! What GREAT photo's of her!!!!!!!!!
3. You ARE going to use the family pic from Epicot for your Christmas cards right? (Unless your Jewish, then you wouldn't of course and I'm sorry if I offended!) That pic is GREAT!

That's all...I will continue reading...
 
Yak--Yes that is one honking big trailer. I wanted a smaller on that actually
fits in our driveway but no. We did get to stop on the way and back
and fill that trailer. I am agree with you we need a Target but there
Walmarts are not the same either. Totally different stuff. Nicholas alone
bring back 4 different cereals.

ampc 3-- Glad you are reading and enjoying my report. Support always helps
to keep a writer going.

Shelby--I am picture girl to and won't be offended if you don't read the whole
report and no we are not Jewish. I have a better Epcot one but I
couldn't get it to rotate so I used that one. Grandma bought the
crocs on the way there as did Nicholas. She liked them because her
feet puff in the heat and they fit loose. Plus she likes to have what
is in now. Never did get her in jeans though.
 
Day 5....I can't believe how much we were in Magic Kingdom.

So I wrote most of the day in the last installment so now I will tell you what Hannah got from her daddy. Remember we just wanted Sleeping Beauty shoes. He bought her the whole Belle outfit she is wearing in those pics. Belle dress, crown and other accessories but not the shoes. Same problem. For some reason he is really spoiling the kids this time. We never ever buy this early and it is never this much. After this big purchase we head back to the hotel. Yes again the guys over to Disney Quest. Nicholas told me that I should come with him and use hubby's ticket. I told him it didn't work that way and he probably would have more fun with Dad.

So this is what they said they did there, made a music cd of some sort, played old video games,(that is why he said I should come because my favourite one was there....Mr Do) ,made a rollercoaster that they could ride and I know there was more but can't remember. Just know they were having a blast.

So this day it really poured rain. I know because I didn't want Hannah to wear her new dress but she won. It stopped raining by the time we left to go to MGM. We were meeting the guys over there again because they were going to do the roller coaster and the Tower of Terror. Not Hannah's favourite. She said her stomach didn't like the tower and she is to short for the coaster. So what does the Princess want to do....Go to the play house of course to see the Big Bear and Jo Jo. Then we go see Jo Jo at the her trailer. We head to the back lot but because of the rain and chance of more they closed it down. We go to the Drew Carey show. We were not impressed with that one but like I said it looked like rain we went in. Also went to look at all the Walt Disney history and short movie. The rest of the time we just wandered until dinner at Sci-fi Dine in theater.

We really like this place. Have been there before. Our waiter was great he cushed over the kids. Nicholas was happy because he could have a milkshake. Everyone liked what they had , loved watching the old movie clips. Especially like the old drive in commericals for hot dogs and stuff. Grandma says she remembers them too. Funny you never picture you mother at a drive in movie. I am sure our kids will say the same thing about the things we have done. Well we close the place down again and head of to the usually swim and bed. We really haven't had trouble with the buses getting to and from.

Next up Animal Kingdom.....
 
NAB~ I fully intend to read the WHOLE thing...there just aren't enough hours in the day to read all of the trip reports I've got book marked...BUT I WILL...(Yours moves to the top of the list since it's got pics!)
 
Well I am so new at this picture thing I accidently took them down. I deleted them so I wouldn't post the same ones not even thinking I deleted them from here. All back up except for one that is side ways.

Shelby-- Thanks for bringing me back to the top of the page. Hope you enjoy
it when you read it.

Princess Sheri-- Yes Princesses do always win. They are too cute and sweet
not too.
 
Thought I would throw out a few more pictures and promise not to delete them.

Hannah and her morning friend, Hey JoJo what did we learn today.....

I just noticed he had rain drops on him too. At first glance I was thinking like a mom and saying what does he have on his pants now.........
 
Enjoying reading your reports ~ Thanx for sharing.
 
...every one of your pics are making me :) ....

:tiptoe: ...just a quickie..unfortunately, got to shut down our pool
today...& i better not get caught loafing here..while my sweetie out
working....sooo..don't go, to far ahead so i can catch up later...


[ your daughter makes some of the cutest faces around! & the comment
bout your son's raindrop-pants rang home! { could he look any happier?!]

.. i might be able to sneak on during breaks... :rolleyes1


..kinda like sneaky out for a :smokin: , and just as hazardous, if she
happens to walk in...
 
Minniespal---Thanks for reading my report, glad you are liking it.

Lil"G-- I know how that is.Don't get caught now. I only have a few days to
write about. So I won't get to far ahead. Yes my kids have great
smiles and must be will kept don't you think. They are spoiled this trip.
 
Day 5... Animal Kingdom

So you know the routine by now Mickey call everyone up... Hannah is in her new dress yet again.

It looks really cloudy out so we know rain is coming but that doesn't stop us we are on holidays. We don't get to Animal Kingdom for opening but darn close. Now this isn't one of the kids favourites. They are not animal people. Hannah is scared of grandpa's cat and if there is a dog even a tiny cute dog walking on the street we have to cross to the other side. I am scared one day she is going to get bite because she really shows she is scared. Nicholas he is getting better but he is the same.

Only reason that they even want to go this time is of course Everest . Nicholas loves roller coasters. I used to be like that but now I can take them or leave them . I always have Hannah as an excuse now to sit it out. But I to want to try this one. Nicholas wants to sit with me but he wants the front. No thank you, Hannah and I sit behind hubby and him.Grandma sits with a teen girl that has been on it 5 times she says.

Anyway when we get to Animal Kingdom it is hubby's turn to run for fastpasses. The rest walk back slowly enjoying the sites. When we get back there it is only a 20 min. wait so we hop in line. I don't even think it was 20 mins. It is really cool to look at all the artifacts in the hut. Nicholas was really into this stuff. He was like Wow. So we get up to do the ride. Poor Hannah tried to cover her eyes a few times, it scared her. She said it made her stomach feel funny too, like the tower. I couldn't enjoy the ride because I know she wasn't liking it. Grandma, Nicholas and hubby give it a thumbs up.

So we get off and the wait still isn't long so they hope on it again while Grandma, Hannah and I head to Dino Land. Hannah wants to ride the dinosaurs. We do this twice. The park feels empty to me. Maybe the weather is scaring people away because those clouds are getting darker. Hannah really wants to go on the Primeval Whirl but she is to short yet. Have to be 48 inches and she is 44. So we play one game there. To expensive to play more and if you don't win you get nothing. So we play the one you toss the ball and try to get it in a colour spot. She does and we get a small dino. We go show Grandma but she starts to cry. I ask her what is wrong thinking she wanted something bigger. No that wasn't it, she wanted a different colour. They gave her red and she wanted purple. So we go over and the CM exchanges it for purple. All is right in the world again for a six year old.

Bye this time the guys are back, you see we have lunch ADR at Whispering Canyon and have to run. We only have time to stop at one gift shop on the way out. I would have loved to see Lion King or did the River but it wasn't to be. On our way out we look for people that might have 5 in there group. You can see people ready to run for those fastpasses like we did. We stop a group and give them ours. Hubby said the wait was up to 40 mins. when they left. We were happy to make some ones day.

So we are of to Whispering Canyon. Now we know this restaurant from Jan. We stayed at Wilderness Lodge. The kids loved showing Grandma the lobby and the gift shop and told her she had to rub the nose on the bear.

Now Whispering Canyon is a fun place we went for dinner last time so they do the whole ketchup thing. If you don't know what the ketchup thing is, well it is when someone asks for ketchup and everyone(mostly the kids) bring you all the ketchup.You may end up with 20 bottles of ketchup on your table.Well they don't do that at lunch. The kids were disappointed by that . But it still was fun. The waitress still had fun with the kids. They still did a pony ride around the restaurant. Some people got huge drinks served but we didn't get that even though the kids kept drinking my drink so she would being out a huge one to me. I do know the guys had all you can eat skillet thing and Grandma and I had the pulled pork. Everything was really good. Now as we were sitting there eating the sky broke loose and we had some pretty hard rain and wind. The waitresses in there kept saying it was snowing it was blowing so hard. I would not want to see what a hurricane wind would look like here. We were glad we weren't still at the park when it hit and felt sorry for the one that were. So we sat it out until it slowed and stopped. I would recommend this place. Mind you it does get loud in there and if you don't like to play along it wouldn't be for you. It is all good fun.

So on our way out the kids have to ring the cow bells on the way to the bus stop. They did this every morning and night in Jan. Since the rain stopped we were off to Epcot. We had the rest of the World to see. Time goes so fast, we also did all the favourites again. No 3D though. Epcot was the late park too so that helped us do what we wanted to do. We did Fast Track while the fireworks were going off and when we got off the people heading that way. So hint go when people are watching the fireworks. I forgot to mention that they don't do your picture for you to see on this ride anymore. Hannah was always in the back last time so when Grandma came on with us she was in front and thought great we can see her now and to our surprise the pictures are gone.

Next stop the MouseGears. Funny how we keep going in these and they pretty well have the same things but we go in anyway. Part because we are looking for pins and part the kids want to play. Every store that has a potato head, Hannah has to put one together. So this time I decide she could buy one. Well it is $18.00 for the box. So I try to stick alot in there but I can't get all she wants. Hubby to the rescue. He packs things in the car all the time. Especially at Christmas time when we have to take everything with us. Anyway he starts doing this and there is another couple, they were just married trying to do the same thing. So it turned out to be a contest to see who could get the most in. Hubby won. It was really funny to watch and when we took the box to pay it was ready to pop. But the CM didn't say anything about it not being closed all the way, he said he saw worse so don't be afriad to really stuff the box.

Now of course Hannah is ready to go back and play with it.The guys want to go on Mission Space and Test Track one more time so off they go and off we go to the room. This was the only time we had to wait on a bus. But they kept bring more buses so it was to bad.

Same routine for bed. They come back and take Hannah to the pool even though I had her ready for bed. But we only have one more day so I can't really argue.

Next Up Our last and most Magical Day......
 
Some more pics.

Hannah jumping on the little lights at Epcot: Good thing I have pics. We must have gone back and changed before Epcot......Days are blending together I tell you.
