Thanks Betsy!

Oh yes isn't it wonderful?? I don't have it on my iPad yet since most of the time Alex has it and I can't get my hands on it for longer than 2 min so I only have it on my phone but it's still great!

I'm in! I followed along on your last PTR/TR, and I think this trip is going to be awesome! There is no way you could possibly have bad luck two trips in a row!

I love the purchases you made, especially the toy story sneakers, I may have to go see if they are on sale at my local target!

I also like the Toy Story bag better too!

 

[Imagineer5]

I'm here!!! Sorry it took so long to get over here!! This trip is going to be AWESOME!! Just take some extra vitamins or something and try to relax- it'll be great!!

Wonderful shirts you found, and love the shoes too!! That's so awesome about the Stitcheroos shirt, I can't wait to see pics of it!!

And again I'm so sorry we're going to miss each other, it would have been so fun to meet up!

Anyway following along - looking forward to hearing all about your plans!

What a cutie!

I like both bags, but I would pick the Toy Story one. I'm more partial to those movies than I am to Cars.

Hey there! Glad you came over and joined in! (what the crap? They moved the smilies around again!) That's what I'm thinking and hoping!

Thank you. Yes definitely check. When I went on Monday it looked like they had just put them over in the clearance area. Hope you can find some!

Thanks for helping me decide

Hey there! No problem. Just glad you came over. I sure hope you are right. Definitely good advice and I will be doing that. Alex already takes a liquid vitamin so I need to follow his lead

Thank you. I'll see if I can snag a pic of it off her web site and post. She still hasn't officially announced the winners.

What a cutie!

Thanks!

Yeah I am too. I do like Cars to an extent but Toy Story I'm more fond of. I guess I'm just over Cars because they are everywhere!

Here are some pictures from our 4th. I hope everyone had a good day yesterday

Gettin' Outta Here! Hah! He loved them though.

yayyyy!!!

The family

He loves his doggy

So sleepy. It was past his bed time

After that Alex had a bath and went to bed. It was a pretty good evening really and Alex absolutely LOVED the fireworks. I can't wait for him to see the big ones at WDW. He's going to geek out!

 

[Leger13]

I ordered the Toy Story duffle bag and it's shipped!! I can't wait to get my hands on it! I'm excited that it has a handle and wheels on it so *hopefully* Alex can drag it in on his own (I'm probably living in a dream world). Thanks a bunch for helping me decide which one to get! I know Alex won't care now but hopefully once he gets a bit older he will like it

Ok lets start talking trip! I'll use this post to list general plans and then I will do a break down day by day in future posts. This is a relatively short trip so shouldn't be too hard to plan

December 15: Pack up and head out early in the morning (4am) so we can get to WDW early and enjoy the rest of the day at DTD. We did that on our trip in February and it worked out very well.

December 16: We plan on spending most of the day with my BFF and her DH.
Here we are from our December '09 trip enjoying the kitchen sink goodness

And then we plan on going to MVMCP around 4pm that night. Can't wait!! I want to try and do one of the dance parties (Alex loves to dance so I think he would really enjoy it, ride rides and find some cool characters for photo ops and autographs.

December 17th: This is the day that my baby will be turning 2!! I can't believe it. I have a 7:45am ADR for 'Ohanas breakfast and then We will be spending the day at MK riding whatever rides we didn't get to ride the night before and celebrating Alex's birthday. I can't wait! The goal is to make rope drop. We'll see if that actually happens. I want it to seem like the whole park is celebrating my baby's birthday for him!

December 18th: EPCOT!! This was the only park we had a great time in in February so I'm really looking forward to going back. We have a 12:10pm ADR at Teppan Edo (DH's request). Anyone take a toddler here?

December 19th: AK! We decided against DHS since we think Alex will enjoy AK more and this trip is all about him and his birthday so it's what will make him the most happy I think. I can't wait for him to see all the animals. It's Morning EMH's so hopefully we can make that. We don't have any ADR's this day so we may wind up eating off property. I'm thinking maybe Pizza Uno? I hear it's good.

At the beginning of our trip we are going to see how much adding park hopping to our 3 day passes will be and if it's within our budget then we will add it on and hit DHS on the 19th as well but it all depends on how much it will cost.

So there's our short trip in a nut shell. I almost feel like it's going to be too short hah!

Everything sounds great! I agree, I think your decision to go to DTD upon arrival in Feb was a great one Of course I may be biased because I finally got to meet you!!!

Can't wait to hear all about MVMCP! I've only gone to MNSSHP and just love that one! Have always wanted to try MVMCP and see it snow on Main Street! Do you know who they have at the dance party??? Stitch is at Halloween and I REALLY hope he is there so you can get down with your favorite guy!

I bet Alex will love AK!!!!

It looks like you have a fun filled trip planned! Oh, and that breakfast at Ohana is so fun too!!!

Yes that WAS great! Just wish we could have spent more time together.

I've been to both and honestly, MNSSHP is better but MVMCP is still great. We've never done any of the dance parties so I'm looking forward to dancing with some characters. I have no clue who is at the one for the Christmas party. How do I even find out? I'd love to dance with stitch!

That's what I'm hoping. I think he will like all the animals and interactive things there.

I'm really looking forward to the Ohanas breakfast. We've only eaten there for dinner so I'm looking forward to seeing Lilo and Stitch and the other characters there for breakfast. I think Alex will really like that and it will be a great way to start off his birthday celebration Plus then we can just leave our car there and take the monorail over to MK after breakfast. Easy peasy!

Love the Toy Story bag and the shoes. We tried to get those at our local Target for our trip to DL and they didn't have them in toddler size 6. They had every size but that.

Glad to see your family had a great 4th. We watched the fireworks, which DS loves as well.

Your day by day plans sound great. I can't wait for DS to go to AK this trip as we never made it over there last time.

By the way, how was the kitchen sink? I've always wanted to do it but can't seem to talk DH into it.

Awesome!!! I am sure he may attempt to pull it

Your plans look great

I really hope you are able to add on park hoppers to your tickets

Osborn lights are amazing and Alex would love them.

Ohanas Breakfast is great!!

 

[khertz]

Looks like great plans! We sure do spoil our boys, getting to spend their 2nd birthdays in MK...how are we ever going to out-do that one in years to come?!

Bummer that they didn't have a toddler size 6 when you looked That's the size I got for Alex. He really didn't need any more shoes (kid is a shoe nut!) but I couldn't resist!

Thank you! Glad your DS loved the fireworks too!

We finally went and spent some time there on our trip in 2010 and really enjoyed it. I can't wait to take Alex!

The Kitchen sink....I can't really say it was "good". It's just a jumble of everything and it's hilarious to eat! I've never laughed so hard in my life eating dessert. It's so much fun trying to conquer it! After a while it becomes a melted mess and it's really disgusting so it's hard to finish. I do wish they would have let us keep the sink when we were done.

Awesome!!! I am sure he may attempt to pull it

Your plans look great

Ohanas Breakfast is great!!

haha yeah we'll see how long that lasts. He does like to help carry in the groceries though so he may like rolling it himself.

Thank you. I need to call and inquire about adding park hopper before we get down there.

Yeah I agree but if we don't see them this year we will certainly see them next year.

I can't wait to experience the breakfast!

Looks like great plans! We sure do spoil our boys, getting to spend their 2nd birthdays in MK...how are we ever going to out-do that one in years to come?!

Thank you! I agree. Haha well, we plan on taking Alex on a trip (Disney) or to a major sporting event every year for his bday (his choice) so I have a feeling we will wind up at Disney for his bday quite a bit throughout the years which is totally fine with me. I will go with him as long as he thinks it's fun and cool and I'm hoping that it's always. I don't want him to out grow Disney ever!

I hope this trip goes MUCH better!! Such a fun age! My daughter was 11 weeks her first trip! The second trip with kids, she was 2 weeks shy of age 3 and my son was 18 months! You'll have a great trip!

Thank you I certainly hope so. 18 months is SUCH a fun age! I can only imagine how he will be in 6 more months. I can't wait!

Ok so I have this black vinyl Mickey from our last trip for Alex that we've been having characters sign (thanks again for the idea Khertz!). I will be bringing it on this trip since we didn't get some major characters to sign it that I wanted (Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, etc etc)

Pictured here:

But I'm considering making (yes I may be crazy) a cute autograph book for this trip. Each page themed for each character etc etc with a place for an autograph and enough room for the pic of Alex with the character. With that being said, do I have any scrapbookers here? If so, any tips on where to get Disney scrapbooking supplies on the cheap? I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on this thing and I want to try and do a page a week until I get it completed. Any and all tips are appreciated and welcomed. Thanks!
