Who knew choking each other would earn us fastpasses?

[aprilisis]

That would be great if your sister goes with you!! You know...I'll be there in May, but only until the 23rd! Someday our trips will overlap!

 

[Caretames1]

That would be wonderful if she could go with you guys and have some fun. I'm sure it would lighten her heart a bit.

 

[goofy's_gurl]

I got behind again. When I say behind I mean I was in the dark ages!!!! I always love your TR's!!!!! You guys always crack me up. I hate when the buses are below zero too!

 

[natebenma]

What exciting news that your sister may be joining you! I know Mama was up in the air about the trip, is she in??? What a great family trip that would be. I can't imagine the antics the three of you would get into together!

I'm really enjoying reading about your tour of World Showcase, you are exploring all of the countries that we have not been to since the kids started coming with us to EPCOT. Haven't been to Italy or Japan (the boys would probably love the gift shop though) or Morocco. I would love to buy spices as souveniers since I often cook pretty exotic food. I love the movie in France, but I haven't seen it in over 15 years.

And the one thing we did with the boys was O Canada! They really liked it. The revamp with Martin Short is a riot. I think you would all like it.

You know you can actually call the phone booths, right?

Phone numbers for booths in United Kingdom (not sure which is which though)

Right Booth 407-827-9861
Left Booth 407-827-9862
Center Booth 407-827-9863

Canada is reportedly 407-827-9884.

I may have to steal your photo of the bread basket at Le Cellier. I don't have one that looks that great. I so would have ordered the coffee rubbed steak. I saw it when I was reviewing the menu, but they didn't have it when we visited. Sorry about your disappointing steak

I hope to come back and post replies in a little bit. Today, I have to get out monthly statements before I leave at Noon.

I do have an update on my "big news" but it's not so great. My sister found out, this morning, that she won't be able to earn enough time to go to Disney with us. She is helping with Lacey's wedding and wants to save her "earned" time to go to Georgia with us. We'll be gone to Georgia for 4 days and, since the library (where she works) is open on the weekends, that would mean she needs 4 days off. There's no way she can take 9 days to go to Disney and 4 days to go to Georgia. Oh well, maybe she can go with us another year.

Now, I'm worried that Mama will back out of the trip all together too. She has been going back and forth trying to decide for about 3 months now. I figure she'll make up her mind within a week.

Okay, I need to get off here and do some actual work. I may try to get back on this afternoon. I have some sewing to do. If any of you are in the market for dresses and tops for your little girls to go to Disney, let me know 'cause that's what I am working on right now. And, I have the Disney themed backsacks too.

 

[MissLiz]

Oh, that stinks, Lisa!

Hopefully Mama will still go. I think she needs to be there on Lacey's last "little girl" trip. (That's what I think of it since it will be her last trip before she becomes a married woman.)

Oooh, oooh, oooh, I may be interested in some dresses for my girls!!!! Possibly shirts, too! Are you willing to do both a 9-year-old and a 2-year-old size?

I've decided to try to take some sewing classes in order to use my brand new sewing machine that I got in August for my birthday that is still in the box, but I don't think I'll be ready to start making clothes anytime soon. I guess that's what my DH's family gets for buying me a sewing machine before I know how to sew at all.

 

[KatMark]

Lisa, I'm sorry your sister can't go; but I am sure she thinks that being at Lacey's wedding is much more important. There's always next year. I hope momma still decides to come...I know how much you love having her with you on your trips.

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Lisa, I'm sorry your sister is unable to join you guys this go round. Maybe next year!! that would be fun to plan. Lacey's wedding is once in a lifetime and you guys will be at Disney next year (I'm sure) so I don't blame her for the choice.

Sorry your sister can't go. But she can perhaps go next year then.

I do NOT need anything for Claire...yet I'm always looking. LOL! Do you have any listed yet? If not, post some pictures here too. We love to see your stuff.

about your sister not being able to go to Disney with you. But obviously having her be there for Lacey's big day is the priority.

Do you already have the backsacks listed on ebay? I don't know if you saw the post in my TR "A former pack mule lightens up", but it is all about how one of those cloth cinchsacks totally changed the way I pack for a day at the parks. It has revolutionized how we travel now, breezing right through bag check.

Anyhoo- I don't go onto ebay a lot, but I tried serching your user name and I searched backsacks, backpacks and cinch sacks and did not see yours. Can you post a link, or a picture or PM me? I am totally interested in one, maybe a classic Disney design. Not a character and definitely not princesses for my bunch!

Thanks! Dee

 

[brookelizabeth]

Sorry to hear about the unpleasant news for the upcoming trip! I hope it all works out for the best.

Wonderful update at Epcot though! We have only done LeCellier once and while we liked it, it wasn't our absolute favorite. I had the same coffee rubbed steak that John had and Joe had your dish. What a shame that it wasn't cooked properly TWICE. Other than that though, sounds like a successful meal!!! It makes me want to try it again, perhaps for lunch this time.

The picture of John pretending to lift up Mama made me laugh out loud. So funny! Her facial expression is priceless!

 

[onescgirl]

I'm sorry your sister will not be able to go. Hopefully mama will still go.

All of your reaction pictures to the melted chocolate just cracked me up!

Those breadsticks look sooooooo gooooood!

The dancing pics are cute too!

I don't know why they have to keep those buses so cold! I freeze to death on them!!!!

 

[ronnmel]

Awww. I'm sorry that your sister can't join you in Disney thsi year. Hope she can make it another year soon!

 

[Amy&Dan]

Hi Lisa, just catching up with your TR again! I am so sorry your sister cannot get enough time off, she surely could have used that trip. Maybe next year? I hope your mom doesn't back out!

Love all the pics, you all just illustrate what a family trip to Disney is all about! I need to scroll back, I can't remember when Lacey is getting married, hope all the wedding plans are coming together, what an exciting time for you all!

 

[Kathy Jetson]

Hi! I loved the Epcot update. I'm sorry your sister won't be able to make it. Put me in with the can she make it next year? crowd. Any word on Mama going or not yet?

 

[johnsonmatt3]

I'll take your sisters place and be your mothers son for the week!!!! But really, sorry she won't be able to make it. But hopefully mama will, She would be hilarious in your next TR.

 

[Jacqui F]

I love your trip report so much I am using my first post to tell you! I have loved looking at your pics - your Mum is adorable.

 

[jusero]

Sorry to hear sis can't go. But, it is very nice that she will be able to help out and attend the wedding festivities. Disney will always be there. A wedding is a one-in-a-lifetime. How are plans going?

 

[BelleTinkMom]

Sorry your sister won't be able to make it to Disney, hopefully your mom will still go. If not, you'll will just have to plan a trip altogether next year.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Sorry your sister won't be able to make it to Disney, hopefully your mom will still go. If not, you'll will just have to plan a trip altogether next year.

I was disappointed that she couldn't make it either. She did say that she would keep it in mind to go next year.

Sorry to hear sis can't go. But, it is very nice that she will be able to help out and attend the wedding festivities. Disney will always be there. A wedding is a one-in-a-lifetime. How are plans going?

The wedding plans are moving forward full throttle. We bought flowers this weekend....enough to decorate the entire reception hall. Guess how much the total was.........................................$61.91! We went to a wholesale business and lucked up BIG TIME! We have to get a few spriggy things to add to the flowers but nothing that will cost major bucks.

We also have to get Lacey's bouquet and the bouquets for the bridesmaids.

The invitations have been picked out already and, since my niece works for a printing company, those will be printed free! We do have to pay for the invitations (ordering them blank from another company) and envelopes.

Lacey also found a picture of the cake she wants. She initially started out saying she wanted cupcakes but fell in love with a very simple three tiered cake. The only problem is finding a bakery in Georgia to make it.

So far, everything has been going forward really smoothly and I hope it stays that way.

I love your trip report so much I am using my first post to tell you! I have loved looking at your pics - your Mum is adorable.

Welcome! I feel honored that you chose my report as your first post. I hope that you'll continue to post your thoughts as I continue on.

I'll take your sisters place and be your mothers son for the week!!!! But really, sorry she won't be able to make it. But hopefully mama will, She would be hilarious in your next TR.

I hate that she's not going because, as you said, she would have been hilarious!

Hi! I loved the Epcot update. I'm sorry your sister won't be able to make it. Put me in with the can she make it next year? crowd. Any word on Mama going or not yet?

Mama still hasn't decided. I am seriously thinking she's going to back out. She's looking at another trip that our church group is going on that cost less money and would be less strenuous. Who knows with her though.

Hi Lisa, just catching up with your TR again! I am so sorry your sister cannot get enough time off, she surely could have used that trip. Maybe next year? I hope your mom doesn't back out!

Glad to see you all caught up again. I'm always behind on my subscribed threads.

I'm hoping that my sister joins us next year. She would have been such a hoot to travel with.

Lacey is getting married in August and the wedding plans are going pretty smoothly so far.

Awww. I'm sorry that your sister can't join you in Disney thsi year. Hope she can make it another year soon!

I know! I really wanted her to go but I understand the reason why she wants to save up her time off.

I'm sorry your sister will not be able to go. Hopefully mama will still go.

All of your reaction pictures to the melted chocolate just cracked me up!

I don't know why they have to keep those buses so cold! I freeze to death on them!!!!

Mama is still on the fence as to whether or not she is going to go with us. We hope that she does but I am thinking she's going to cancel.

I hated the freezing buses! I think it felt even colder inside the Epcot bus because we were all damp from the rain and it made it worse.

Sorry to hear about the unpleasant news for the upcoming trip! I hope it all works out for the best.

Wonderful update at Epcot though! We have only done LeCellier once and while we liked it, it wasn't our absolute favorite. I had the same coffee rubbed steak that John had and Joe had your dish.

I realloy wish I had gotten the coffee rubbed steak instead of the one I ordered. It was so much better.

Wasn't the picture of Mama and John the funniest thing ever!
