Who Invited My Mother In Law? A Moderately Deluxe TR All New X 3 & PTR Link 2/3 !!

[amandaw]

I planned a laid back day, but it may not have ended up that way...

Oooohhhh...interesting!

I think he was less than thrilled that she was making him dance in public, and that I was taking pictures. He probably knew they'd end up in the TR!

True! Ed tried to tell me that I can't post pics of him dressed up for MNSSHP. I was like, "Whatever! You know that has to be in the TR!"

Sweet Maddie just gets more darling!! She looks so adorable at breakfast! What a nice morning!! Too bad you had to wait so long for your table though.

CBR is really beautiful. It is one of the few resorts I haven't been to. We really need to take the boys to stay in a pirate room one time! I think they would really enjoy that!!

What a great update! Looking forward to more updates and more Maddie fashion shows!!

Love your CBR photos. It reminds me of how beautiful the resort is. Do you ever sing the Beach Boys song when you think about it? Hopefully, that is not just me.

The draw something app Maddie is playing with was so much fun when it first came out. Then, people kept telling me I was a horrible artist. Now, I make them wait a few months for each move. They are not kidding by the way. I am a horrible artist. Glad you made it on time despite the monorail stall. Those darn monorails. The wait for 1900 Park Fare was long for us but at an hour, Mama Melrose’s was the worst. You really did a great job making Maddie’s skirt. Bacon is a must for me too.

The photos of Maddie with Alice are awesome. They both look like they had a great time with each other.

The characters seem like they were great for that breakfast. I'm not sure any of those great interactions can be any more important than good bacon though.

I have a similar issue. My husband invited his mother to come to our 1st wedding anniversary vacation to Disney. We do not have children however, and it will be us, mil, and my married friend. Why she wants to come as the 5th wheel I do not know. I hope I have the same patience you do!

Thanks for the heads up about the game today. My boss is out of the office for the summer so I'll go turn his TV on and see if I can spot you guys and the pink baseball mitt!

Great update. Your pictures of CBR with the sunrise are beautiful.

We've never done 1900 Park Fare. I have been warned to never do dinner, but I'd really like to do breakfast one of these times. The problem is convincing my DH who does NOT like the GF at all and won't even stop in to shop.

Love the character interaction with Maddie.

 

[PrincessAmongPrinces]

Great updates with awesome pictures! I can't wait to hear how you spent the rest of the day!

 

[marDgreen88]

CBR is beautiful in the morning! (I'm sure it's beautiful all day haha, I've just never seen it in person to verify this. )

Her skirt is perfect! Great job!

WHAT? Real bacon??? I'm shocked! Hooray for 1900 Park Fare!

The interactions with the face characters sound awesome! We were going to go there for our breakfast but my dad's only request was Crystal Palace so we switched it. But darn! One day I'll go, it sounds great!

Hey There! That was me!

This is too funny! I read your PJ (beautiful, by the way) and while I was reading this TR, I said "wouldn't that be funny if it was the same wedding, but I wasn't sure the dates matched up!

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Yay for real bacon!!!!!!!!!! It had to be SOMEWHERE!! Sounds like a great breakfast!

 

[Sommery]

I'm having a great time reading your trip report. I myself have a daughter who will be starting kindergarten in the fall (she'll be 5 next month) so I can really relate to your experiences with Maddie. Thank you so much for sharing. Your pictures are gorgeous - I'm going to have to put a DSLR on my pre-Disney shopping list .

 

[Fantasyland Mom]

Oh, those CBR morning photos have me SOOOO excited to get back there! I am hoping that we have time to enjoy a sunrise. So very beautiful and peaceful!

I'm going to have to try Park Fare, I think. It would most likely mean giving up a beloved CP ADR, but maybe next year the family will be up for more change than they were this year! I've never met the Mad Hatter and really want to. I've only heard good things about interactions with him!

Maddie's skirt looks amazing! I wish I had an ounce of your talent!

 

[RGirl]

What a fun breakfast!!! I am adding this place to my mental list of "maybe next time's." Alice was just awesome! And we have never met the Mad Hatter. How fun.

HOWEVER,

This:

Bacon is of vital importance to me

was my favorite part of the update!

 

[smidgy]

wow!!! love, love the CBR pictures!! It was our first resort ever, with the boys back in 94? (nebo will correct me).

we had POR for early dec. with a bounceback, but when free dining came out, we had to switch to CBR. and now I'm happy we did!!!!

maddie looked so happy to hug all those characters, and she looks like a delightful little girl!!!

 

[hstrickland]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the early morning pics at CBR That time of day is my very favorite at WDW...so peaceful, quiet....no people....GREAT! I didn't realize how big CBR was, or maybe it just looks big from your pictures. Did yall have a long walk to the bus stops?

1900 Park Fare is great, isn't it? We did breakfast, too, and thought the characters were wonderful....especially the Mad Hatter! He's too funny.

 

[Queenofallthings]

Your pictures from your bench took me right back to Florida...my favourite time of day is early morning and I think it's best when spent in Florida

Great job on the skirt...love it! The pictures with all the characters are so great! Love that Alice was playing with Maddie....those are little things she will never forget!

 

[Caretames1]

YAY! I am so happy we have an ADR at 1900 PF! I think it's gonna be great. We haven't seen Mary since Jan 2009, and never the Mad Hatter. And then double that with he Wonderland Tea, Kadence is going have a good time!

Love Maddie's shirt, and skirt! She must be a lot like Kadence, showing off her dance moves. I think it's great that the kids can be so happy they dance.

Nice dance pics there Daddy!


What a wonderful way to start the morning I wish I could just be sitting there right now.

 

[mirage0306]

Phew! I think I'm caught up! I must have been behind about six pages.

Love the wishes pics, love the CBR pics, and that's amazing that you were on the bridge for wishes even for a minute. Wow!!

I really liked 1900 PF breakfast, too. The food was pretty good and the character interaction was one of the better experiences on our trip. The Mad Hatter was hysterical!

I hope the rest of your day is nice and relaxing--can't wait to read more!

 

[CandleontheWater]

Wait- Stop the presses!!!!

There is REAL bacon at 1900 PF? I'm am now officially thrilled I have a breakfast ADR there.

It looks like you guys had a great morning, nice and laid back, but not too laid back. I could never spend a day lazing around the hotel room, that would make my head explode, so I'm glad to see that you have the same idea of "laid back" as I do.

Ok, but I do have a question for you guys about 1900 PF. I usually avoid face characters, because I'm afraid I'll look/sound like an idiot talking to them. I will have Everett for 'cover' but he's not the best conversationalist, if you know what I mean. Do you think it will be weird and awkward with me, my mom and Everett?

I have been following your TR (I'm just not a big poster) and just finished your Always Let Your Preschooler Be Your Guide. I love seeing Maddie's reactions. I hope my little Bug is even half as excited when she finally gets to go.
