Who knew choking each other would earn us fastpasses?

Girl, what crazy times you've been having lately!

So glad Lacey made it safely to TN. Hopefully they will be able to have their engagement pictures made while she is there. That's the drawback to those beautiful outdoor pictures, I guess.

Glad to hear your aunt's surgery went well.

I can't wait for another Disney update!

Hi Lisa! Just checking in! Hope all is well!!!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Hey everybody, sorry I haven't posted in several days. I have an excuse though......LIFE..... it's busy at work (billing time again) and John had a stomach bug. Of course, he gets it on the day he is supposed to see the doctor to get his epilepsy meds refilled. Ain't that just our luck. Luckily, they were able to work him in today and he's there now.

Lacey's trip to Tennessee was extended by three days. Jesse's grandmother passed away and she stayed so that she could attend the funeral. I spoke with Jesse yesterday and he said that they are dealing with their loss as well as can be expected.

The boss just left so I am headed over to Photobucket so I can post another installment. I can't promise how long it will be because I'm expecting two clients to come by and sign their paperwork before we close for the day.

so happy to hear you Aunt's surgery went well! that Lacey made it safely! and I will continue to keep Jesse and family in my prayers, it is so hard at moments like that.

Hope the engagement photos were able to be rescheduled; but, a LA session would not be to bad. You guys have beautiful areas up there.

** We posted at the same time **
sorry to hear about Jesse's grandmother, I will continue to pray for jesse and his family in their time of grieving

For those of you who have read my previous trip reports, you know that I always, always have camera "issues"....lost batteries, camera dies completely, we go to Walmart at 2:00 a.m. searching for a new camera, lost 650 + pictures (that were later recovered), etc. etc. Anyway, I now go to Disney with not one but two cameras. This way I know that I will always have a camera handy. Sounds good, right? It is, but it also means that I have double the pictures because usually I have one camera and one of the kids has the other. Still sounds good, right? It is, but I always forget to organize my pictures better and I am constantly finding "lost" pictures.

This installment will be another "lost" picture installment. These pictures were taken by Hunter on the Magic Kingdom attractions I have already talked about.

Tom Sawyer Island pics:

Hidden Stitch poster we found a couple of years ago in the store beside Country Bears:

Country Bear Jamboree:

The chefs preparing the yummy sauteed mushrooms and onions at Pecos Bill's. I so wish I had some of them right now....my tummy is rumbling:

A few while floating down the river in Pirates of the Caribbean:

Outside Pirates:

**Continued in next post

Peter Pan's Flight:

I took one of Hunter and he took one of me:

***New installment in next post

 

[mickeystoontown]

Okie dokie, "lost" pictures posted.....let's move on. You may recall how crowded Fantasyland was when we got off Peter Pan but, just in case you forgot, here's the picture again:

Holy moley moo-moo-cows! Where do we go to escape all those folks? What attraction moves pretty quickly? How 'bout we go to It's A Small World? Sounds simple but it actually wasn't. We felt like fish trying to swim upstream except we were swimming across stream. Once we made it, we were surprised to see that there really weren't that many people in line. It looked like they had added the extra boats to keep the guests moving.

Pictures, of course:

We had a dinner ADR at Crystal Palace and we still needed to go back to the resort and get Mama. I also wanted to change clothes since I felt all sticky from the heat and humidity. I know that we went into a few of the stores along Main Street but I don't remember buying anything. Hunter thought it would be cool to take a picture of one of the spinning toys:

**One of the clients just called and said she'd be here in 5 minutes. Guess now is a good time to stop.

 

[Caretames1]

WOW, That is crowded! Oh and by the way, thanks a bunch for showing the Pecos Bill fixins. I'm now staving for a nice juicy burger with lots O' toppings on it

 

[mommytothreeboys]

This is one of my very favorite "chillaxin" spots! Cute picture of the two of you!

Love the IASW pics...makes me want to sing along!

 

[407-W-DISNEY]

Hi Lisa,
Just catching up on your TR.....my condolences on the loss of Jesse's Grandmother. I am sure they are going thru a difficult time.
Hope your Aunt is doing better

Loved Lacy's cake! So unique! It will be a beautiful wedding.
glad to hear her tire fiasco worked out. How scary to get a flat on the Highway.
Pecos Bill's is yummy! I have to confess, I always make myself a "condiment" salad

 

[ronnmel]

Still following along. Have been quite busy during my March break, and now am completely exhausted by the going back to work at the same time we "spring forward".

Sorry to Jesse for the lost of his grandmother, and glad Lacey's car trouble weren't too bad and that she got to Tennessee safely.

 

[MEK]

I, for one, thoroughly enjoy the "lost pictures" updates! They are great.

Ugghhhhhh....those crowds! At least IASW wasn't crowded. Excellent Peter pan pictures.

Yum for Crystal Palace - one of my favorites!

 

[racefanof88]

Along with lost pictures; here is a long lost friend.............lol............ You know why I have been MIA . Anyway, I love the picture of you and John at TSI, ya'll have a way of making even the most crowded, stressed out places seem like a great place to relax and enjoy each others company . I can't believe it has been almost a year since this trip. I so wish we were going to be there when ya'll go back. You know you could always stop in here on your way there or on your way home .

 

[longing2Batdisney]

great update! Lisa
WOW! what a bunch of people you guys had to make it through

 

[laashley]

Lisa, your world must be spinning pretty fast. I certainly hope that it slows down! So glad that Lacey made it safely to Tennessee, cell phones were a good invention.

As for the updates, yay! Looking at the MK crowds it must have made you happy having those fp's for Peter Pan!

 

[aprilisis]

I never noticed that hidden Stitch poster before! I like Hunter's photo of the squirrel & the photos in IASW. I haven't been on that ride in the last few trips. I'm going to have to go on it in May! I can't believe the crowds in Fantasyland! How is your planning going for your May trip??

 

[deedeew80]

Sorry to hear about Jesse's Grandmother. I will continue to keep the family in my thoughts and prayers. Glad everything else is going well.

Don't ya just love IASW? I know, most people get annoyed by it, but I love it!!! It sure was croweded there that day! Can't wait to read more! Take care!

 

[KatMark]

Love the "lost" pictures and the IASW pictures. I cannot believe those crowds. The only time we saw a crowd like that was when we went on the 4th of July in 2000 (never do that again!).

 

[PirateKate]

Tom Sawyer Island is such a great place to relax on a crowded day. Great lost pictures! Hunter is quite the photographer.

That's actually a really good idea, to take two cameras with you. It seems like I'm always losing my camera or having the battery die.

 

[jusero]

Quick tip for the dead batteries issue. Buy three sets of rechargeables. That way you can take a fresh set each morning in the camera, one set as a back up and leave the third set in the room charging. Then switch them out each morning by putting the backup set in the camera, the fresh set as your backup and the used set in the charger. Ta-da! No more missed photos from dead batteries. I have found that Energizers last a long time in my camera and flash, and my camera and flash use a LOT of battery power. Hope this helps!
