Loving your photo's..That chocolate sunday icecream thingy looks really good! Thats on my list to have now.

Tell your DD that I think she looks like a proper princess in her Cinderella dress..very pretty little girl.

What a beautiful Cinderella! Your food pictures are making me very hungry (am on a diet before we go at the end of the month).

I'm hoping those clouds have disappeared by the time we get there, have had enough of the rain here.

The I-Hop breakfast looks good - somewhere we have been planning on visiting and never got round to

The Plaza also looks good - we went there a couple of years ago on spec and enjoyed it. I could eat that sundae right now!

Love the pictures of DD

OMG I'd missed this thread completely - wow wow wow! I'm in awe that you've booked and are now there, in such a short space of time. Woo hoooo!!!

Everything looks great, hope you have the most wonderful time!

Wednesday we had a slower start. Went to wamart for a browse and to stock up on things we bring home - Advil painkillers, sweets, goldfish crackers. Also filled up with petrol.

Then over to clearwater. We stopped enroute at Hardee's for a burger at dh's request. He likes Hardee's and there aren't any in the main tourist area.

We spent the afternoon at clearwater aquarium - home of winter the dolphin. As you will have seen from my photos my dd was born without her left arm below her elbow. She has a prosthetic arm she sometimes wears.

A few months ago she watched the dolphin's tale film which is based on the true story of winter the dolphin who lost her tail and has a prosthetic tail. As soon as she watched the film she wanted to see winter.

We had a good afternoon, all the staff were very friendly- lots of them are volunteers and we saw winter.

We ate at village inn - first time we had been in the evening. Food was tasty and it was free pie Wednesday.

Today Thursday we have had a full day 9 til 7 at Epcot. Enjoyed all the garden festival extras, pixie hollow was lovely.

Did all the rides dd wanted in the morning then walked all the way around world showcase. Dd coloured a Duffy bear and got her passport stamped in every country.

Had a few snacks as we went around including an American dream slushie.

Had a swim then tea at TGI Fridays on 192 as I had a Bogof coupon from the email club. food was ok but would have been pricey without the coupon.

Friday is our last day - shopping and bibbidi bobbidi boutique.

was so hoping you would post a picture of you DD in her Cinderella dress after you mentioned she went out in it as I have 3 boys and just love seeing all the little girls dressed up,Im going to have a little girl in this lifetime one way or another She looked perfect loved the glow bands,My boys are addicted to them we stock up from the £1 shop and then the boys give them whilst waiting for fireworks and at the bus stop when the kids are gettingtired and grumpy it always seems to help .

The food pics are making my soo desperate for september to get here! I like many others are on a diet but i cant exercise due to the head problem so walking and yummy food restriction is all for me! Boys have never been to a IHOP i try to explain it to them as we have pancakes most sunday mornings due to the fact my dads American so i try and do something American style every wk So Im making them for Dh and the boys and i dont get to eat them

I'm just loving your trippie! Most of all I love the photos of your DD, she always looks so happy and she has the most beautiful smile! So glad that she got to see Winter!

 

[loobzuk]

your food pictures are not helping my diet

More lovely pictures, didn't know about Winter the dolphin so might be something to put on our list for a future visit.

Well a first for this holiday I'm first up. Sitting on the balcony watching the birds on the lake waiting for dh and dd to wake up so we can go for a last swim.

Yes we took the light up bracelets with us - kept dd assumed waiting for the parade, she gave one to the lady next to us in a wheelchair who hadn't seen them before.

Cold, windy and miserable again here today, wish I was there.

 

[TheFram4]

I'm with you tinkerpea - boys only here as well and I'm loving the cute pics and outfits.
I'm also cutting back till August and it seems every time I look at a TR it is food, food, food (or maybe that is all I see!! )

I think seeing the food makes me determined in my diet and looking forward to what I will be enjoying soon (sitting here sipping hot water with lemon juice )

Thanks for all the pics Dixonsontour

 

[dixonsontour]

It has been really hot here all week 30 plus degrees. Didn't see any rain yesterday.

Pics I've been posting are from my I phone so mainly food ones. Main pics are on the other camera. Will hopefully do a trip report when we are back.

Just getting ready to go out after our swim for some shopping then dtd and bibbidi bibbidi boutique.
