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

[cherbear]

OMG that was Brooke in the picture of the week a couple weeks ago! I would never have known!

That was SO nice of that CM to help you get into your room. Where did he come from? Just a bit of Disney magic I suppose

That sounds just like MY DH! Leaving his cell phone behind. My DH does that all the time...or has his phone and just doesn't answer. I am constantly asking him, "what is the point of having a cell phone if you NEVER answer it?" And he doesn't check his voicemail either. So all of my messages (when I do rarely leave one) start like this: "Honey you're probably not going to listen to this, but..." In fact I can't remember the last time I actually left a message. I have given up.

Those pics of Brooke are really spiffy! Its a shame you couldn't get some PP pics with her in the dress but I'm sure you have tons of pics of her in it!

I know what you mean about subbing to a ton of TRs! I realized I have a ton myself and have started my own new one and trying to keep up with them all is interesting, esp. when i'm not trying to spend ALL day on the DIS. LOL!

BTW I really love the map idea for the report!

 

[dismom9761]

Another great one. They have the best employees at WDW.

 

[Flossbolna]

Loved the update! The picture of Brooke with the YOMD thingie is great, it looks like she has some really fancy hair ornament

And what is it about people not carrying their mobile phones when you want to reach them for a valid reason...

 

[Flossbolna]

Oh and I am starting to wonder whether you ever managed to get some photopass pictures taken...

 

[castawaymam]

great update DM.
We watched the show in the same spot as you and Brookie.

 

[tinkgurl]

DM- you got some serious skill and muscles carrying Brookie and everything after she fell asleep! Macho-Macho-Woman!

 

[scottny]

sounds like your new name should be Xena. This is why I have no children, i would have woken her up.
Another great installment.

 

[cmp1111]

She looks so cute watching the show!
Wouldn't you know she'd wake up as soon as you got her to bed?

I'm more of a "Rob" when it comes to the cell, I have to admit. I had it with me every moment at Disney, really I did , but at home I tend to leave it in the car, or I can't hear it ring because it's buried so deep in my purse.

 

[Nicole786]

Great chapter! I really feel for you with all that stuff to carry in the FL heat!

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

Hi DM! Great update...Brookie looked really into the show! I cannot belive you carried her all that way only for her to wake up the minute you got in the door! It would have been back to sleep for my boys -LOL

 

[Tanya90210]

aww man!! I hate when they do that!! and it never fails that they wake up as soon as you get to put em down lol....


Great Chapter!!! Sounds like you guys had some great girl time

 

[Princess_Michelle]

I keep seeing people getting the chocolate buckle at CRT....on the menu it only lists the blueberry......hmmmmm......was it on your menu??? We are going there in about 6 weeks!! Love your trip report, btw.

 

[Disneyolic]

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

Aw thanks. They were "picture perfect" moments...

OMG that was Brooke in the picture of the week a couple weeks ago! I would never have known!

I have given up.

Yes! That was here. It wasn't until I did that picture that I realized that I hadn't posted it here yet. I don't know who that CM was. He looked like a higher up of sorts, by the way he was dressed. But yes, he was there at a perfect time for us. Rob drives me nuts with his cell phone. He went to his parents' home the other day to pick up a life preserver for Brooke. His mother called me asking if Rob was home yet and then informed me that Rob left the life preserver there. And, no cell phone. What a dip. I did lay into him then!

Those pics of Brooke are really spiffy! Its a shame you couldn't get some PP pics with her in the dress but I'm sure you have tons of pics of her in it!

I know what you mean about subbing to a ton of TRs! I realized I have a ton myself and have started my own new one and trying to keep up with them all is interesting, esp. when i'm not trying to spend ALL day on the DIS. LOL!

I really did not mind not getting a PhotoPass that day. I think I did fine in my own picture taking. I see you started a PTR. I am having a difficult time keeping up so I'm not subbing to any more PTRs now. But when you go on your trip and start a TR, let me know and I'll be joining right away!

Another great one. They have the best employees at WDW.

Thank you. It was great timing for that CM to be there because, as crowded as July is, we never really saw anyone around our building!

Loved the update! The picture of Brooke with the YOMD thingie is great, it looks like she has some really fancy hair ornament

And what is it about people not carrying their mobile phones when you want to reach them for a valid reason...

Thank you. The "fancy hair ornament" was really just a Cinderella hair clip that I found at Claire's Boutique (which is basically a shop that has tons of costume jewelry and items more intended for the younger ones, although I have been known to buy toe rings there).

Oh and I am starting to wonder whether you ever managed to get some photopass pictures taken...

Hmmmm....are you wondering that? Guess you'll have to see!

great update DM.
We watched the show in the same spot as you and Brookie.

Thanks. It was a nice little spot to watch.

 

[Disneyolic]

DM- you got some serious skill and muscles carrying Brookie and everything after she fell asleep! Macho-Macho-Woman!

Oh boy! There were a couple times when I thought I wouldn't make it. It was extremely difficult but a mother's strength really overcomes!

sounds like your new name should be Xena. This is why I have no children, i would have woken her up.
Another great installment.

Xena: Princess Warrior! Shhhh! That's a Universal thing! And is that really why you have no kids? You're too cute.

She looks so cute watching the show!
Wouldn't you know she'd wake up as soon as you got her to bed?

I'm more of a "Rob" when it comes to the cell, I have to admit. I had it with me every moment at Disney, really I did , but at home I tend to leave it in the car, or I can't hear it ring because it's buried so deep in my purse.

Yup! My kids wake up when we don't want them to. Oh well! I didn't mind her sleeping (except for me carrying her) as I thought that would satisfy her on our trip to DTD.

Great chapter! I really feel for you with all that stuff to carry in the FL heat!

Thanks! It was tough but I'm loving the sympathy everyone is giving me!

Hi DM! Great update...Brookie looked really into the show! I cannot belive you carried her all that way only for her to wake up the minute you got in the door! It would have been back to sleep for my boys -LOL

Hey! No. She woke up as soon as I settled her in bed. Same difference almost. Oh well!

aww man!! I hate when they do that!! and it never fails that they wake up as soon as you get to put em down lol....

Great Chapter!!! Sounds like you guys had some great girl time

Yup. We've had many a time that my kids have done that to us. We try so hard to carry them in from the car, whilst they are sleeping in our arms, only to wake once we place them down! We had a great time the two of us, thanks.

I keep seeing people getting the chocolate buckle at CRT....on the menu it only lists the blueberry......hmmmmm......was it on your menu??? We are going there in about 6 weeks!! Love your trip report, btw.

I don't really remember 100% about the chocolate buckle but I am pretty sure that it was on the menu that way. I would have preferred the blueberry as the chocolate was almost overkill, and I do like chocolate.

 

[TEminnie]

Did you like the "dream along" show?? I loved it--next time I want to be in front if possible. Are they keeping it around for a while?

 

[WDW Fan]

Very cute pic of Brookie in her cinderella gown! Can't wait for more.

 

[jcc0621]

Great update DM. I completely sympathize with the dead weight reference and Stitch always wakes up as soon as we stop the car

 

[Hillary12.8.07]

I'm joining in a little late, but I'm loving it so far! I sat and read the whooole thing last night!
You have a beautiful family, and Brookie is just precious! Her little princess gown is just too cute!
I can't wait to read more!

 

[DisneyJo]

Great updates DM, I used your snazzy links on page 1 so missed the chit chat I'm so jetlagged that I can't for the life of me remember what I wanted to say but I know I enjoyed them sorry I'll multi quote your next installment, promise
