It may be sooner than later since I chose not to go strictly chronological.
Awesome!I did the same, and considered going with this one, ^^^, but my choice is
"Baby, Please Don't Go"
- from the hit album "Honkin' with Bobo"
Just came back from dropping off my son for his Model UN conference. Guess what song came on the radio (Sirius XM, Classic Vinyl)- "Same Old Song & Dance"
No lie!
Things are going great right now!So good to see you back again! Hope things are going well for your family.
If you are going to miss a FP, then a show is a good one since there is always another one coming along soon.
At least it wasn't while I was riding!Oh, no on the Protien Spill on Star Tours!
Yikes!So sorry to hear about your daughter's accident. I have had a couple of doozies with my boys- actually- same boy
1) We were on a cruise and Ben was in the kids club. We were called to pick him up due to a "Code Brown" Yes, that is what they called it!
2) We were at a state park about 45 minutes from where we live. I did not have Ben in swim diaper and he had an accident in his swimsuit. I took him to the bathhouse, but realized I didn't have any wipes with me. I went to get some paper towels from the dispenser, but they were out. Ben was a mess! What's a mother to do? I cleaned him up with my hands and tp. As I was going to wash my hands, which were literally full of $$$$, I hear "Hi Dee!" A friend of mine from my mother's club (I was President of the club) back home. As a (better) prepared mom of 4, she had wipes!
They'd better look good for all they cost us!Your daughter is stylin' in her new duds for her meet with Sofia and Doc. So cute!
It was a bit more intense than I'd imagined it would be.That is just not right with your meet with Darth! Poor DD!
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!I am so sorry to hear that you missed RnR again. On our trip last week, we had FP for TSM and planned to ride RnR afterwards, but we were told at rope drop that the ride was down. We didn't ride it that day.
We were so close to leaving...At least you got to go on Toy Story. Phew! I was so afraid you were going to have to leave the line. Or drop another $80 on new clothes!
Excellent use of emojis.
It was a nice end to the evening. Mexico and Italy are easily my 2 favorite pavilions. And coincidentally, they've got some of my favorite food offerings in WS... hmm...Sounds like you had time well-spent in Mexico. Cute pictures with Donald.
Thanks. Easily the best picture I've ever taken or probably ever will.Gorgeous photos of the Spaceship Earth golf ball as you were leaving!

Well clearly this just means you should never go back to Disney World ever again because bad things happen when you do.Uuuuuugh!!! Not a fun way to come home. Our "little mishap" was just as infuriating.
I can't even keep up chronologically!It may be sooner than later since I chose not to go strictly chronological.

I'm gonna say 3.

We met up with DW inside Big Top Souvenirs and bought one of the overpriced child size Disney Parks rain ponchos.
I might never say this again, but getting in line for IASW was the smartest thing we could have possibly lucked into doing.
I can’t resist the urge to get chicken parm just so I can use the Peyton Manning line.
It was overcast and rainy out. Not exactly ideal theme park conditions, but when you’re on day 3 of a 3 day trip you suck it up and go anyway.
We didn’t make rope drop but we didn’t miss it by too much.
And as dark as it looks in these pictures, it was indeed 8:30 am, not pm.
Naturally just as Dumbo took flight, the rain started to pick up again.

And if you don’t believe me, just look at Ariel. Sorry, pkondz.

In fact, it was so intense that as we were getting in our boat to go on the ride, we were getting wet from rain being blown inside the building.

And no, DW doesn’t find that at all annoying.
I requested fries for DD. I know, we’re bad parents. They aren’t healthy. But sometimes that’s all she’ll eat.
Captain_Oblivious – 20 points for pretty much exhausting the entire catalog of Aerosmith titles and creatively working them into his answers. -1 for using a song that wasn’t from Aerosmith. Ain’t that a b---- for all of you who only went 1 song deep?

And a baby picture for your enjoyment. He's doing great right now! Still a lot of things to watch and a lot of appointments to go to, but things are as good as they could be.
Holy crap… she just got a haircut and looks nothing like the girl in these pictures…
Despite the rain and the feeling of being pelted by BB’s we still enjoyed our ride. DD was excited and wanted to go again
We went back to Big Top Souvenirs to find DW and decided to go meet some characters. Naturally, we met Goofy, Donald, Minnie and Daisy. I mean we were already right there and you can’t get too wet walking 50 feet.
I might never say this again, but getting in line for IASW was the smartest thing we could have possibly lucked into doing.
It wasn’t much of a line, again, maybe 5 minutes tops. The skies were still clearing and it looked like maybe the rain was finally done for the day. But just after we entered the queue, the skies darkened again and it absolutely started pouring like nothing we’d seen all morning. The rain picked up and the wind was blowing hard. In fact, it was so intense that as we were getting in our boat to go on the ride, we were getting wet from rain being blown inside the building.

But would the rain ever let up????

It's hard to turn down a visit with Mickey, especially if his line is short.The rain was just relentless for a few minutes and even with ponchos we didn’t want to venture too far so we decided to just go a few feet and make a quick visit to Mickey. There was no line at all.
It's even harder to turn down a visit with a princess who has no line at all!As we walked through the gift shop and started to exit we saw Snow White finding shelter from the rain and she was all by herself. It would have been rude not to stop and chat for a few minutes.
I appreciate that place for the fact that you can tick off 4 characters fairly quickly (usually). But I have to admit I'm always disappointed they are in the circus get ups. I guess I'm a bit of a costume purist.We went back to Big Top Souvenirs to find DW and decided to go meet some characters. Naturally, we met Goofy, Donald, Minnie and Daisy. I mean we were already right there and you can’t get too wet walking 50 feet.
Hey, where was that outfit in the movie?? Such a shame.And if you don’t believe me, just look at Ariel. Sorry, pkondz.
Wow, that's a bold statement coming from a DIS Dad! (pssst, wanno know a secret? I kind of like IASW. It's become a "first ride" tradition for my family. Yes, the song can get stuck in your head, but it's so Disney, it's just something we always do to say "we're back")I might never say this again, but getting in line for IASW was the smartest thing we could have possibly lucked into doing.
We've always done this, but I read that they have "bouncers" now that only allow people to sit who actually have food. I kind of understand it, but not sure I like it.DW grabbed a table for us and I went up to wait in line and order our food.
DW and DDs seem to like Pinnochio's and they keep wanting to go back. I'm not really a fan, although the new chicken parm sandwich might be worth a try.All in all our experience in Pinocchio’s Village Haus wasn’t horrible, but between the service and being a little less than impressed with the variety of options I don’t think we’ll be in a hurry to go back anytime soon unless we find ourselves getting out of IASW in the middle of a monsoon again.

All’s good thenWe didn’t make rope drop but we didn’t miss it by too much.
Going for this kind of effect…We’d kind of go between trying to make one fit her and then me just carrying her inside of mine… don’t worry, we stretched the neck hole out, I wasn’t trying to suffocate her.
Best get used to that…Holy crap… she just got a haircut and looks nothing like the girl in these pictures…
The Gunslinger
Naturally…Naturally just as Dumbo took flight, the rain started to pick up again.
Would have been a good time to ride Kali River.It wasn’t a downpour by any stretch, but it was enough to get me pretty wet by the end of the ride.
Figures…I was still drying out from our ride on Dumbo earlier and there was just something about waiting in that line in Ariel’s Grotto. It’s dark, shaded and the wind was coming through the tunnels just right… it was cold!
And if you don’t believe me, just look at Ariel. Sorry, pkondz.
Certainly not a sentence that is often heard said out loud.I might never say this again, but getting in line for IASW was the smartest thing we could have possibly lucked into doing.
Bet the CMs have never heard that one.I know that wasn’t available because I’d have definitely ordered it. I can’t resist the urge to get chicken parm just so I can use the Peyton Manning line.
So far as you know…And no, DW doesn’t find that at all annoying.
They used to have a meatball sub there…I went with a pepperoni flatbread, because it isn’t a salad.
Just so long as your are keeping up with your bacon rations…I mean do I really look like somebody who eats a lot of salads?
Passed up the yogurt, I see…I was kind of glad that DD only wanted one of her nuggets because I ended up eating the rest of them.
Darn! All of a sudden today I can't see anyone's pictures! Don't know what changed but it's frustrating!And a baby picture for your enjoyment. He's doing great right now! Still a lot of things to watch and a lot of appointments to go to, but things are as good as they could be.
Well if it makes you feel better, I can't see them either. I swear they were here 2 days ago. Not sure if it's a problem on my end, photobucket or the Disboards?Darn! All of a sudden today I can't see anyone's pictures! Don't know what changed but it's frustrating!
Actually it does make me feel better! Maybe tomorrow someone will notice and hit the switch! Oh and it's not just yours. I can't see @pkondz or @Steppesister either!Well if it makes you feel better, I can't see them either. I swear they were here 2 days ago.
