Brooklynn takes Bella to meet Cinderella! Page 242 Downtown Disney

I burst out laughing when I saw Trent and Jarvis doing the Backlot scene! That's awesome!!! They were very convincing in their roles! :lmao:

I also love the pic of Jarvis with the Power Rangers!!! :rotfl:

Jill, I will pray that you are given the strength to get through the next two days!!! :hug:
 
Love the acting pictures! I bet that show was a hoot!

We actually went to Penny's at 4:00 am to pick up this years free snowglobe. I wish they would quit giving them out, so I wouldn't have to get up so early! My family thinks I'm nuts, but I keep telling them I have to go because they're dated and once you start you have to get every year :confused3 makes perfect sense to me ;) Then we drove over to the outlet mall in St. Augustine and got some good buys at the Disney Character Outlet. Boy am I tired!
 
My only Black Friday buys were a long sleeve Grumpy shirt and a Mickey hoodie sweatshirt. Total $ 25.00 on Disney.com I could not resist. After seeing the sweatshirt prices in Oct. when that cold snap came through :scared1: I thought I better get some cool weather items for the end of year!
 


I asked the guys to get on this, and they kindly obliged.

be sure to take my advice: never sit behind a hardheaded 4-year-old on that thing because they will raise up unexpectedly and bonk you in the head HARD!! :rotfl:


this picture is awesome. SUCH convincing actors!!!


so awesome that jarvis waited to meet the red ranger!

One of our little cousins, Parker, is sooo into Buzz!
Only when he says it, it sounds more like Booze. :laughing:

so cute! my nephew (on my mom's side - the ones i don't see very often) noah LOVES woody. last year i told him that i had met woody and i said, "and do you know what he did? he kissed my hand!!!" his little eyes got so big. then i said, "and i have a picture of it." and he paused, thought about it and then said, "well, aunt dawn, you're just gonna have to bring that with you to show me next time, aren't ya?" he's only 4 so that coming out of his mouth was so cute!

yep, anybody that wants to see erica's and lauren's text pics from disney this week, come on over to my TR...i will be posting them! i'm also gonna post any that heather and kristen send me on their individual TRs. :thumbsup2


Still listening to a sweet 4 year old whisper b/c she is obviously to EXCITED to go to sleep!!! :rotfl: We've been 'laying down' for about an hour and 1/2 now :rolleyes:. Oh well, she'll give up the ghost soon, and be out like a light!

so cute!!! but i have to admit....i'm 33 years old and i'd be doing the same thing. :laughing:

hope you guys have a MAGICAL :wizard: time!!!
 
With only nine pages left, and us not even at Wilderness Lodge yet, there's a good chance the end of this report may be the beginning of the next one! Since the December trip is shorter, that should work out okay.

I was thinking of this for a trip title:
Ringing in 2010! When will we be back again?

What do you think?
I haven't talked to Jill about it, though, so we'll see.


So, not knowing that I would have plenty of time for taking pictures of this place in October,

disney09202.jpg


I went over there to get pictures of the fountain for my water feature collage.

I love this lobby, especially when the sun is shining though the glass.

Great updates! We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter once and liked it! I love the boat ride.

I showed my DD24 (DD25 next week) the pictures of Trent and she says "I've got to meet this guy", that was after she stopped cracking up! He's almost as big a ham as she is!
 


I LOVE POFQ! Thank you for the pics MeMom! And for helping me see all that I have to be thankful for. I often times forget that I have so much and focus on what I don't have. Thank you for putting it into perspective for me, once again.
 
The expressions on Trent and Jarvis's face were priceless!
Does Jarvis have any of these pictures?
I think a collage would be a great gift for him!

Poor Jill! I hope she can keep the girls out of trouble....
It sounds like no fun for anyone!

Awwww, the pictures of the French Quarter bring back some very fond memories. We had such a nice time there in 2007!
:lovestruc

Tonight as I looked at your post I kept thinking of your knee and the grinding pain you were in.
I'm glad that's behind you now!
 
:rotfl2: Love the pics of Trent and Jarvis from the Backlot Tour! The pic of them talking to the CM before..Jarvis' face is like, "We're going to do WHAT?!" :lmao:

:laughing: Looks like Jarvis also had a good time on the playground!

The street performers are always a hoot! B/F loves the plumbers the most!

I do like that title for a TR!

MeMom, thank you for your wonderful Thanksgiving thoughts, even it I'm a day (I guess two) late in reading them. It was well said and reminded me of many things for which I often forget to be thankful.

We're eating my birthday dinner at O'hanas. :goodvibes It is becoming a nice, albeit unintentional, tradition, as it was where we ate on my birthday the last time we were at WDW (4 years ago). I didn't really care where we ate, so long as we were at Disney. :rolleyes1

I suspect you'll be up soon, probably as I am getting ready to finally head for bed. A water pipe burst in our front yard tonight; my husband and I just got done doing some midnight gardening to pull up many of the plants that I've been working hard to get INTO the ground this past year. :sad2: The very nice man from the water department tells me they will try to be kind to the red bud tree that is less than a foot away from the break, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm just thankful that it was a break on the City's side, not mine and figure it if digging up some plants at midnight is the worst I have to deal with this weekend, I have it pretty darn good.

Happy Saturday everyone!
Rachel
 
Aw..Erica..that is such good news! Congrats!

Hopefully she'll take pictures of what all she buys him in WDW this week so we can see! :)



hey Memom,
Hope you had a great thanksgiving . I just got back from Disney yesterday. I took exactly 1,648 pictures, Ling to my new TR is in my sig. Hope to have you follow along.

I will be there!



Did you make waffles today ? I have been craving waffles since I found out Eggo has a shortage until about Jan since the plant in Atlanta flooded with all the rain.:laughing:
But Mickey waffles - OOOOHHHH You can always fit a Mickey waffle in an overstuffed post thanksgiving day tummy.

I didn't make waffles. I ate another helping of the chicken pot pie, because it was just SO good! I think I will have that Mickey waffle this morning, though.



oh yeah and i went to the disney store but the line was crazy long...i'm buying the t shirt i want online now!! did not want to wait in that line!:scared1:

what do i find....the rocking mickey (like a rocking horse only mickey mouse) it was only $15. I had found it last year after xmas last year and i thought that it would be good for caleb this xmas but decided not to buy it at that time. well i went back about a month later and it was gone and i had not seen it since! well...i am very thankful for my forgetfull SIL this year because without her I would have never found it!! Caleb was done but I had to get this for him!! mommy like it better than him but he is the only one who can fit on it!! :lmao:

Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving!

Sounds like a successful day! :thumbsup2
I'd like to go to the Disney Store, but that mall will be packed all weekend. I'll get over there after school one day and see what they have, although I need nothing!



Oh, you are right. I should have taken a picture of my deals. What was I thinking?? Problem is that I just finished wrapping it all! Sorry!!!

Well, if you hear someone crinkling wrapping paper in the middle of the night, it might be me in there unwrapping the ends to take a peek! ;)



does anyone know if you can still get disney dollars?? the lady at the disney store told me I can only get them online anymore that they only sell gift cards at the stores but i cannot find them online anymore and they took them away from the rewards on sunshine rewards? I really hope they still have them as i think my 3 yr old nephew will understand using the money than a gift card...he will think the gift card you could use all the time and not understanding there has to be money on the gift card to use it!

I'm afraid Disney dollars might be on their way out. That's sad, because they're so special for little kids.



Jill, thats awesome you got all your stuff!!

We left this morning around 4 and got to Target and changed our mind about going in! :rotfl2: The line wrapped around the back of the building. Then we just went to the mall (I get most of my stuff at the Disney store) and it wasn't bad at all!!! We didn't have to wait in any kind of line. Then we went to Walmart and it was crazy!!!!

I'm glad you got home safely.
I'm sure Hollie will be having a good Christmas. :santa:



:rotfl2: I love the pictures of Trent and Jarvis doing their acting debut!! That part is always one of my favorites!

Trent was glad to be able to do it. He's always up for something crazy!



:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2: The look on Jarvis's face is priceless. It is almost like " We are going to do WHAT???"

Looks like a great time was had.

I know! I started to write that exact sentiment.
That look is perfect! :laughing:



Poor Jarvis! :rotfl2: Loved all the pics from the Backlot Tour. I haven't done that since 1998, and it's a lot different now.

Time to go again! :banana:
Maybe you'll have a family participant, too?




THANKS everyone for the sweet well wishes!!! :goodvibes

I will have to control myself I'm sure, but I am fairly good at that so we will see!! Also already made a BIG purchase today....see below :rolleyes:

Plan on sending you guys pics and text, Dawn has said she would put our pictures up on her TR, so you can follow there :thumbsup2


Doubt I'll be able to check in here through the week b/c we won't pay to get the internet at Disney. Hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend and a wonderful week :goodvibes

You are probably not far from getting on the road again. Be carefu;, have fun, and take lots of pictures!
 
Good to know that Trent can scrub down a wall. :rotfl: Haha.

Your pictures have me SO excited about this next week!!

He can, but I don't know how much practice he gets. :laughing:



I love Trent's expressions! They are hilarious.

Marc & I are watching Home Alone right now talking about how it's one of our childhood favorites and now looking at that Bug from Honey I Shrunk the Kids, I want to watch that now too.

Oooh, the villain shop! I've been planning on getting a Disney Tee in January to celebrate all my weight loss and I totally forgot about that option! I'm excited now! I can get my Ursula on!

Isn't it fun to go back in time and watch those good old shows?

I hope you find a great Ursula shirt. :thumbsup2



thanks for the info jill. my mom wants to get them so i will let her know her options, but she will probably just wait til we get there because most likely she will not be able to make up her mind about how much she wants to give the boys.

speaking of little kids saying things that do not sound like the word at all. For about a week i have been hearing out of caleb the bad word that starts with an "s" but apparently he is saying sis which is what he is calling my niece. makes me feel a little better but still a little embarrassed. DH is trying to get him to say bo-bo to which is another nickname for her.

p.s do they handy manny and the tools in the plush form in the parks. they have them online at disney.com but they were not part of the $10 plus black friday sale. they were soo cute but if we can get them there then the boys can pick out which one they want!

They have some Handy Manny stuff, but I don't know exactly what. I think it will be fun for them to pick out their own things in WDW. It's always extra special when you get something in the parks, I think.



Great update! The pictures of the boys volunteering are too funny. We skipped BLT this trip but we did do LMA.

They enjoyed it. I wish I had a video. They did a great job!



I burst out laughing when I saw Trent and Jarvis doing the Backlot scene! That's awesome!!! They were very convincing in their roles!

I also love the pic of Jarvis with the Power Rangers!!!

Jill, I will pray that you are given the strength to get through the next two days!!! :hug:

They gave the audience a good performance. Someone somewhere has good video of it - just not me! :upsidedow



Love the acting pictures! I bet that show was a hoot!

Boy am I tired!

Jill and I went out for the snowglobes a time or two, even though I hate snowglobes. :laughing:



My only Black Friday buys were a long sleeve Grumpy shirt and a Mickey hoodie sweatshirt. Total $ 25.00 on Disney.com I could not resist. After seeing the sweatshirt prices in Oct. when that cold snap came through I thought I better get some cool weather items for the end of year!

Long-sleeved Disney shirts are great. :thumbsup2 I've been checking out some 'make-your-own' ones on Disney Shopping, but so far, I'm just looking.



Great updates! Looks like Trent and Jarvis make fine actors!

They did very well. ::yes::



be sure to take my advice: never sit behind a hardheaded 4-year-old on that thing because they will raise up unexpectedly and bonk you in the head HARD!!

this picture is awesome. SUCH convincing actors!!!

so awesome that jarvis waited to meet the red ranger!

Ouched by Luke, right?

We'll be looking for lots of fun updates by all the girls. You're going to be party central this week!



Great updates! We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter once and liked it! I love the boat ride.

I showed my DD24 (DD25 next week) the pictures of Trent and she says "I've got to meet this guy", that was after she stopped cracking up! He's almost as big a ham as she is!

We enjoyed our POFQ stay in October. It is a pretty place.

I hope she does get to meet Trent. She may be sorry, but at least she'll know for herself! :laughing:



Ah, Port Orleans French Quarter!!! How I love thee!!! :lovestruc

I imagine our first stay there was not our last. :)



I LOVE POFQ! Thank you for the pics MeMom! And for helping me see all that I have to be thankful for. I often times forget that I have so much and focus on what I don't have. Thank you for putting it into perspective for me, once again.

I think we are all guilty of not being appreciative enough of just normal days, so it's nice to have times that remind us of all the trouble-free times we do have.



The expressions on Trent and Jarvis's face were priceless!
Does Jarvis have any of these pictures?
I think a collage would be a great gift for him!

Poor Jill! I hope she can keep the girls out of trouble....

:lovestruc

Tonight as I looked at your post I kept thinking of your knee and the grinding pain you were in.
I'm glad that's behind you now!

Yeah, I gave Jarvis a bunch of pictures so that he could show his family. I know he would love to take some of them down there sometime.

The pain with the walking was not fun, but I don't remember it hurting so badly when I look at those particular pictures, so I guess it was bearable that day. When I look at the Hollywood Studios walk from earlier in the trip, I can feel the pain! I think that might have been the worst of the whole trip.



:rotfl2: Love the pics of Trent and Jarvis from the Backlot Tour! The pic of them talking to the CM before..Jarvis' face is like, "We're going to do WHAT?!" :lmao:

Looks like Jarvis also had a good time on the playground!

The street performers are always a hoot! B/F loves the plumbers the most!

I do like that title for a TR!

I am so glad I was able to capture that expression!

Those two big guys were just having a fun time that day. :)




Good times!

I've been up for a while, but I'm just getting to your post. I have to wrap it up, because I want to get to the grocery store early.

Sorry to hear about the busted pipes. We've had that happen twice in the 23 years we've lived here.



Love the pictures of POFQ! Such a beautiful resort!

Isn't it? I also want to try out the other mods in the future.
 
You are probably not far from getting on the road again. Be carefu;, have fun, and take lots of pictures!

Yep.....I'm packing up the computer and we are headed out the door!!! :yay::woohoo::yay: I thought we were going to get going earlier being that Rylee woke up at 4:30 :scared1:, I guess she finally fell back asleep and I did too.....we all conked out until 7 :thumbsup2

Hopefully we will be in the world by no later than 3pm which is what we were hoping for, and might even make it there a little earlier :woohoo:.

I'm hoping to maybe see the Wilderness Lodge tonight and then head to DTD for awhile!!

Have a great week guys!!
 
disney09152.jpg


My friends and I were chosen for this show several years ago. I can't imagine how hot they were in those rubber suits in July.
We will be heading out tomorrow for our Christmas trip.
We are staying at Pop Monday and then moving over to Old Key West for the rest of the week.
 
Ouched by Luke, right?

yep. he raised up suddenly and his hard little head hit me right on my brow bone. then when i was moaning about it he turned around and looked at me like, "what....is something wrong?"

I thought we were going to get going earlier being that Rylee woke up at 4:30 :scared1:, I guess she finally fell back asleep and I did too.....we all conked out until 7 :thumbsup2

4:30? holy moly! well, glad you guys went back to sleep. it's so cute that she's so excited. tell WL i will see it next year! although you probably won't see this until you get back (if you see it at all)! :laughing:
