I love your throwback pics! I hope the boys are ready to head back to school. We are starting week 3 here.
I guess service was slow!It was 1:30 when we were seated and we weren't finished until 3:40.
He would have had to talk me out of it, too!I wanted to take pictures through some windows but Steve rightly talked me out of that........
Yum! At least this can make anyone happy for a while, right?
Awwww What a cutie!!!
Takes after her Grandma!
This is so cute!
That's true I do think it was the best way for us to end it given everything, and being at WL certainly didn't hurtI think your night sounds great! It sounds like it was just a regular vacation night but since you're just enjoying your time at Disney, it's even better!
LOL again, taking after her Grams!Aww what a smart little cutie!!
I've been meaning to message you! So we'll have a couple days overlap, hopefully we can run in to each other. The 13th we're doing Epcot/HS and then on the 14th MK/EpcotThat baby!!!
The 8th-15th. Just young son and I! We are staying at YC. It’s kind of a redo for me because a chef made me sick and it was handled really badly. Disney doesn’t like it when their chefs make you have an allergic reaction and they try to make it up to you.......
But at least your DD was able to work some FP Magic Yeah, nobody has mentioned returning over spring break again.......Ah...almost wrapped up the report and it is bringing back those memories...of NO Fastpasses!
Definitely! If I ever figure out some type of schedule lol! Technically I do have a bit of one, but all I can remember off hand is AK on the 17th and MK to start on the 18th, and AK later in the day on Thanksgiving. I better look soon since I need to figure FP's before we leave in.........8 daysStill sorry we couldn't meet up but there is always THANKSGIVING right?
I think that could work to the advantage of many families!My kids are also scarred from 50s PT. If I even mention Aunt Carol, they start scarfing down their dinner.
Yes apparently POR is the only other place that has them; wasn't it PERFECT????I finally got to try one of these bad boys on our July trip. It was at POR and not WL but still delish.
Well if you want my opinion.....do it!I'm considering WL for our August next year. At the very least, we're going to do the new character dining with Snow and the Dwarves. And I really want to check out Geyser Point.
Adorable and already multi-tasking!
It's unfortunate because we loved our food, but the duration kind of killed it.We have eaten at GFC once for lunch and never again. Our lunch was about two hours long. It was very annoying.
No that's actually the Magic Bar from Roaring Fork! You can also get it at POR I've heard. Our one CL trip was at WL and we loved it as I'm sure you will, too.Is this cookie from the OFC lounge? We will be staying CL at the WL on our upcoming trip. We are really looking forward to it.
Hayden is GORGEOUS!
Yeah I don't think I look quite as cute doing that anymore lolAt least she is cute while doing it!
#magicbartotherescue ALWAYS!But treats can do some damage control, right?!
Thank you! T minus approx. 9 hours now. Ricky's all set; Chris is a bit nervous since he's going to a new school. Luckily he has friends in almost all his classes but he's concerned about getting lost lol.I love your throwback pics! I hope the boys are ready to head back to school. We are starting week 3 here.
Really it was Not what I had planned, and not what I'd normally plan for a last night, but not the worst it could have been and nobody complained which made it worth it!Sorry for last afternoon didn't work out. HEA from the dock sounds like a nice way to end the day though.
Trying to convince my Stepson and DIL to bring her next summer lol!Hayden is adorable, it will be so fun when she can join you on a Disney adventure!!
Stinks too because we loved our meal, which you might hear about one day if I ever update my dining reportI guess service was slow!
And if you have 4 per trip they can make someone happy for QUITE awhileYum! At least this can make anyone happy for a while, right?

Yes, we had to move our trip up by one week and now we overlap. We will be arriving on Wed, Sept 12th and leaving on Sunday, Sept 16th. We'll have to try to run into you. We are going to Epcot four times since we want to get the passholder cutting board. So maybe we will see you there.Our one CL trip was at WL and we loved it as I'm sure you will, too.
Speaking of, did I see that our dates overlap next week? Sept. 13-17?

OMG how could I forget about that???? So absolutely no excuse this time lolbut I think we both already know we will be having Thanksgiving Dinner at the EXACT same place at nearly the same time. We should have no excuse not to say hello at least there!
I'll message you before you leave and hopefully we'll be in the same place at the same timeYes, we had to move our trip up by one week and now we overlap.

It does look very small but I like free stuff.Have you seen that cutting board? I was planning on trying to squeeze in 4 visits myself...until I saw the size of the cutting board. It looked pretty small.
Those shirts are a lot like the ones my family had for MNSSHP, almost the same design. We noticed a few shirts around like it that night. I was happy with ours.First I'll start with the Halloween shirts I ordered from Etsy for Steve and I:
Cute! Sorry that they don't fit right.First I'll start with the Halloween shirts I ordered from Etsy for Steve and I:
I was just talking about this with Andy! I like the shirts on TeePublic better for adults. But the for kids it's like the cheap shirts from AC Moore. And Gwen HATES those! So, I have to buy from Etsy for the girls, mostly.Holy crap I re-sized these to 25%! I don't know what the problem with my pictures is.....
I do know I'm probably done ordering from Etsy because I can never get sizes right and it's not like I don't know mine or Steve's size. In the past I order what we normally wear and they've been WAY too small, so I order one size up and they're usually still a bit snug, more snug than we like. So THIS time I ordered TWO sizes up, thinking even if they were a little big I could shrink them.
I LOVE these shirts. They're so soft and I think the designs are adorable. Unfortunately they were huge!!! I've so far tried shrinking them twice and while it's helped, we kind of still look like we're swimming in them. Steve said he doesn't care but I don't really like the way mine looks so not sure if I'll wear it. I just wanted something Halloween-y for the party.
Very cute! I was eyeing the orange bird one that just came out. And I really want the new vera bradely print! Which IF they still have it when we go, I might get the cross body one. I like the cross body better than the back packs. The back packs make my back all sweaty!
So, is that one of those life size dolls? I hate those things!At this point we moved to the 2nd level and came across some of those really OLD coin operated rides they used to have in the malls. I don't even think they work but they haven't taken them out. Well strapped into one of them was our friend, Princess Anna:
Looking TOTALLY creepy and a tad disheveled if I do say so, as if someone else had been in the vehicle with her and made a hasty exit.......
Was the purpose to show kids today that we used to have to ride in mechanical forms of transportation for fun in the mall because we couldn't play video games on our phones while our moms shopped? I just can't figure out why she's in there
I might have to go to Hot Topic! Those are super cute shorts... Maybe I can order them on line. I hate the mall by us. It is ALWAYS packed. ALWAYS. Like Black Friday packed..
I fell in love with these Peter Pan shorts!!! I took a close up of the pattern but I can't fit it in this post. These are so soft and comfy, I was looking for more shorts in this style but they had none. I have exactly ZERO tops to wear with these so tomorrow I go shopping some more
Cute! I may need to get that one too!
Tanks were buy 1 get 2 free. I only saw one other one I liked but they didn't have my size so I bought 2 Ariel ones for my DIL.
And love this too!
So our last night was kind of a bust. It made me sad on the one hand because usually our whole last day is awesome. We'd had a great morning and (spoiler alert) a really good lunch, but the remainder of the day was sort of a let down
I'm getting sad just remembering the end of our last night! Oh but wait, I did this before going up to our room:
Our granddaughter Hayden, already 2 months
2 months AND, know how to hold her head up while giving the finger:
Takes after her Grandma!
On Tuesday the 4 of us went to a mall about 40 minutes away, in Danbury CT.
First I'll start with the Halloween shirts I ordered from Etsy for Steve and I:
Since I knew it'd most likely be in the 90's for the party, I also ordered a tank top from Etsy but a different seller:
I'm so disappointed and I'm sure it's not the sellers, it's my stupid body,
Bottom line I have no idea if I'll be wearing either of these next week, sadly. That's why I went full-speed into the Disney store Tuesday! First I got this:

Well I got that baby home and tried it on, and looked like a 47 year old pregnant Rapunzel only bad. Like not a pretty Rapunzel getting on in years with an "oops" pregnancy, but just an old lady wearing a dress that didn't fit right because she's pregnant and pregnancy has made her look horrible.
