Why do we have to stand in all these lines?...a TR by DM w/lots of PIX...Completed!

[SingingMom]

Snow White--I like the one in the old picture better--given that our girls are both 14--it may be the same one in my older pics. A little more natural expression.


I heard somewhere that height is a main factor in character auditions with Alice and Peter Pan needing shorter folks.

wouldn't that be funny if it was the same Snow White ! lol

OOOOO.... I can be Alice!!! 4'9" should be short enough, don't ya think?!


DM: I LOVE the birthday t-shirt photos! What a clever idea!!!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

The birthday t-shirt pictures are such a neat idea. Very cute!

I read that idea in a magazine waaaaaay back in 1999, right before Evan was born. Evan & Alec have Goofy tee shirts, but then are different colors.

The birthday t-shirt pictures are such a neat idea. Very cute!

Thanks. I love looking back and comparing the pictures!

Awesome. A big pat on the back goes to you! I wrote down the page # of your first update. I'm just on the DIS trying to catch up on things I don't need to reply to really. Real updates I have to write down the page #'s so I can come back later and really enjoy the reading instead of rushing through it. I'm looking forward to yours!

That is a cute idea with the shirt. Now I just have to have kids.

Cute idea for the t-shirt growing chart

 

[cherbear]

What a great update! I'm just sorry I didn't get to read it til now. I'll admit I chuckled at Brookie's pic with Cindy. She did look like she had a lot of fun waving her wand around and closing her eyes to make a wish.

And I love the T-shirt idea!

 

[Flossbolna]

Another great update! Brooke's impression with the characters is very funny for someone who did not got to all the effort to get her there... But as someone else said, I admire you fornot saying it was all ruined but instead value the experience for what she really liked there! And she looks lovely in her dress with the wand!!

Oh and I love the T-Shirt idea! It's a great way to document how much the kids have grown up

 

[KatGarcia]

AWWWWWWWWW What a cutie!!!!!!! The shirt is really cute too!

It's hard keeping up with all the subbed TR/PTRs now for me. So, I don't mind people not reading right away. I try to write down page #'s of updates so I can go back later and get caught up! Yours is really hard because you are definitely a jibber-jabberer! I loved with Brookie closed her eyes in that video. I thought it was so precious.

Thank you! I definitely did not think that time in CRT was not ruined. I was a bit taken aback by how she reacted to the Princesses, but she was simply so fun when they weren't around. I enjoyed being with her so much. Can you tell that I always wanted a little girl???

AWWWWWWWWW What a cutie!!!!!!! The shirt is really cute too!

Thanks. I wonder how the kids will be when they get to be teenagers and I'm making them pose in the same tee shirts?

 

[Disneyolic]

Good morning, afternoon, evening....whenever you are all reading this!

I am going to try to get out my next update later today. I have so many subbed TR/PTRs to catch up on so I was struggling with what to do. I decided to work on my own TR so I could get the update out and catch up tomorrow on all the others. So, for all of you that I have not responded on your threads, please be patient with me and I'll get over there...

 

[cherbear]

sorry I'm such a jibber-jabberer LOL

 

[cherbear]

Well I am glad that there will be an update today. I don't mind if you're not caught up on my thread...I'd rather the update!

 

[Miz Diz]

I loved Mother - daughter day. And the video. Baby Girl watched with me and keeps saying, "I want see that again."

Tuesday, June 26...Magic Kingdom
Leaving the Magic Kingdom


Hopes:
1. More PhotoPass pictures taken...
2. Rob, Evan & Alec have a great boys day...
3. Brooke & I have a great girls day...
4. My feet feel better with the blisters...
5. A meeting with the Dream Team

Wants:
1. A good lunch at Cinderella’s Royal Table...
2. Have a good short rest at the resort in the afternoon
3. A good dinner at Raglan Road in DownTown Disney with the whole family.

We finished our meals and all the ceremonies and Brookie was ready to leave. So, we got up and I got disoriented for a couple minutes. I almost walked into the kitchen because I didn’t know where the stairs were to go back downstairs. I could have sworn they were to the right but I was wrong. We were politely pointed in the direction of the stairs and made our way down but first stopping at the restroom for a much needed relief.

I asked Brookie if she wanted to stay in her Cinderella gown and she said she did so we got our stroller and started to head back toward the park exit. I called Rob’s cell phone and left him a message telling him we were on our way back. But as we came around the side of Cinderella’s Castle we heard music and singing. We looked over and saw the “Dream Along with Mickey” show.

Brookie wanted to stay and watch it but the crowds were thick right in front of the stage so we stayed on the side and watched it from there. Brookie was very content watching it there. I took a couple of pictures of her watching the show...

And here is me trying to get fancy by getting that Year of a Million Dreams thingie in the background...

I looked up and noticed a black cloud coming over and sure enough it began to rain but it really was not a heavy rain. They were decent size drops but it ended in about 2 minutes. No biggie. After the show we really made our way back to drop off the stroller and the bus stop. I did ask Brookie about getting our picture taken by PhotoPass to which she made faces at me. So, I decided to bag the idea. There were plenty more opportunities for pictures the rest of the week...

The entire way many many people were saying goodbye to my Princess and I was all smiles. Brookie was certainly used to it by now and I think she enjoyed it. One of the CMs at the turnstiles asked if the Princess would be returning for the parade. I think he was trying to be a bit funny by implying that Brookie would be missing her float in the parade. I just politely chuckled and said no.

Brookie did another good job walking back to the bus stop. We boarded the bus and then began our short journey back to Port Orleans Riverside. However, in that short distance Brookie fell fast asleep. I didn’t mind at first. I figured she would wake up at our bus stop. Nope. She was fast fast asleep. I had to pick her up along with my heavy bag and carry her off the bus. Did that wake her up? Not even slightly. She was totally dead weight. I had to carry her all the way back to our room. Now, walking up the spiral staircase at CRT had nothing on this one. This was a feat in itself. It was hot and humid. I was carrying a 30-pound sleeping Princess with a hot gown on along with a heavy bag full of stuff. And did I mention that my feet were hurting?

I made it back to the room and thankfully I had our KTTW card in the plastic holder around my neck. But I couldn’t put down Brooke and I was struggling. Thankfully, a male CM had just come around the corner. I don’t have a clue what he was. He was not a mousekeeper but I was just glad there was someone there. He saw me immediately and rushed over to help open my door. He held it open while I put Brookie down on the bed. I thanked him and he left. And, wouldn’t you know, that is when Brookie woke up!

Rob and the boys had already returned and left a note for me on the table telling me that they had gone to Riverside Mill for lunch. And there laid his cell phone so I couldn’t even call him to tell him we were back. And my message that I left earlier for him was not retrieved. I changed Brookie and we waited for them to come back...


Next installment...June 26...DownTown Disney...Ferry to DownTown Disney

I love the pictures of Brooke watching the show in her dress.
