I Don't Know, I Don't Speak Wind!!

[MeMom]

Leaving Magic Kingdom.

I tried to get some window display pictures.





Buttons for people wanting to celebrate.











I will get these turned right side up.

Looks like we took an Art of Animation bus.

Inside the gift shop.

For some DIS friends.



I don't think Laura gets to DIS any more. Too busy with three kids and real life! We miss her.







Can you tell I moved the alphabetical order around a little bit to send a message to my DIS friends?



I put them back in order before I left. I think.





I think these were about a hundred dollars.



Shadow of the sketches on the floor.









I wanted to get a few pictures of the then unopened Lion King section.

This one killed me!







When we went back in October, everything was up and running!











Here's what I put on my celebration button.



I was really just happy to be there.

$100 for the shower curtain?? Wow. I am afraid to ask how much the glass blown items are. I guess I will stick with my traditional magnet and ornament.

Love all the shopping pictures and the sights around Art of Animation. So cute seeing Bella peaking in.

I was thinking the exact same thing!! What beautiful choices!

I love seeing the pics of AoA. That's where we are staying in April.

Love the glass blown art work pictures. I can't wait to go back to WDW and this time I am going to spend more time looking in the stores. You take wonderful pictures of the merchandise and I keep asking myself how I missed some of those things in April. Oh wait, I know me and 3 kids at WDW by myself. DH does not like Disney so I take the kids by myself. I love it though because I get to spend time with just them. He is a stay at home dad so he gets to spend lots of time with them and I work long hours to provide for my family. Our time together is magical and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Plus we don't have to listen to DH complain he is hot, tired, and it is too crowded.

I love the window displays on Main Street, but for some reason Cinderella looks kinda creepy to me.

Haven't been around in awhile! Super busy with my new job. Just caught up about Trent's engagement. Congrats! Can't wait to see pictures from the wedding!

Bella looks so stinkin' cute looking though the gate.

I see my name! I do DIS drive bys... rarely logged in though. I need my picture fixes from you!

Yes busy.... and asking for some prayers from DISTOWN for my sister in law. She is almost 25 weeks pregnant with twins and is hospitalized. Not sure if she will get out of out the hospital. They have an almost two year old, so it is hard to be in this unknown and with Christmas and his birthday in the next two weeks it is just sad. The Drs seem positive, but we are all worried sick about what lies ahead for the two babies.

Praying for her, the babies and her little boy. What a tough time for them!

One could spend MUCH money at WDW....

It was fun getting the sneak peek, and it was great experiencing the whole open resort in October.

Some of the glass things give a more subtle Disney option for those who don't like the more classic touristy stuff. A little pricey, though, for some of it.

Isn't it nice to be able to look past winter and know that Disney in the springtime is waiting for us? Our kids had a blast at the zero entry Nemo pool.

Sounds like you have the perfect set-up. He gets some alone time, and you get some kid time.

I agree that it is no fun to be around people who are grouchy because of the heat or crowds or whatever. Sometimes we have to 'encourage' John to go back to the room so everyone else can enjoy the Disney fun. I will say, he has gotten better. He used to refuse to leave, so everyone was miserable, but now he will (sometimes) give in and either sleep later and meet up with us, or he will go on back to the room to rest. That makes for a better situation for everyone.

I will have to go back and look. I know what you mean, though, because whenever I am looking at things for the girls, I always check out the faces, and if they are funky looking, I will not buy them.

They are hoping to have something simple. I would be all for them walking out on the beach and getting married. Then they could have more money for more practical things, Hopefully, she will decide within a couple of weeks what she wants. I know she doesn't want to go fancy, so I am happy about that.

Surprise! I didn't know you ever got on any more! I thought about sending you a message to come see your name, but I didn't want to 'beg'.

We will definitely keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. I know it is rough on them now, but we have to keep our eyes on the prize and get those two sweet babies here safe and sound. Just keep thinking it will all be a distant and fading memory when they get here! If the doctors are positive, I would absolutely ride along on that wave. They wouldn't be positive if they thought there was something to worry about. Take a deep breath and know that it will all be well. Is there anything we can do to make things better for her or the two year old? I would be glad to send a 'fun' package in the mail. It couldn't be from WDW, but it could be Disney things - coloring book, Cars car, or whatever. And when I go in March, I can send a postcard. Just let me know!

Awwww!!!! I kind of hope you didn't put them back, that's so cute for someone else to discover!!

Wow...$100 for a shower curtain is definitely a bit much!!!

[wigdoutdismom]

I think Bella could have squeezed through that opening in the gate. Wouldn't that have made for an interesting story?

I would love to have some of that Disney glass for my mantle. Flying it home would make me nervous and Marc isn't really interested in paying the price. So I guess I'll just be wanting it for a long time.

I like your idea for a beach wedding.
Wouldn't Vero be nice?

I love the message in the keychains; that's too cute!
