Last Trip? It was until we met Food & Wine -- Recap 2/12

Gorgeous photos of the empty Main Street!

I loved all of the cute character photos. CP is one I still haven't made it too but I need to someday!

 

[jedijill]

You are an updating machine!

I'm so glad you got to have breakfast with the kids. They are adorable. Poor Gabrielle getting scare! Christopher is rockin' those sunglasses.

Hmmm, you know it's strange but I think I'm finally getting used to the colour change on the MK sign from pink to blue. For a while there I hated it, lol.

Oh I so love early morning pre-opening MK even though I've only done it once. I love your PP photos and REALLY love both of your shirts.

HAHHAHA, Love the Mark ear picture too. I don't think there's a hat he can't pull off.

One of my favourite things (at least for entertainment's sake) is seeing photos with multiple photographers and seeing which direction people choose to look. I refer to them simply as "Disney Photos".

I don't know why, but I have a feeling Juliana won this bet.

Oh my what wonderful group photos. Clearly the sun was bright that day! Kn wing all too well that week, that's a welcome sight.

An empty Main St. is such a great thing to experience!

You guys looked like you all had such a fun breakfast together. I can't wait to read who won the bet!

I love the picture with all of you guys waving - so cute.

 

[SarahDisney]

I love that morning hotel picture.

Empty Main Street is so beautiful ... I love your pictures!

I love all the pictures from Crystal Palace ... they're adorable!

I'm looking forward to seeing who won the bet!

Great update, Miss Update Queen!

Took me a while to catch up on just your latest updates.
Front row parking at MK is awesome.
I didn't know they took you by bus to the MK for an early ressie. We needed to take the resort monorail - what a pain as it took forever. Bus sounds great.

The empty main street looks awesome and I just love all the photos with the characters and on Main Street.
Looks like a great breakfast with some awesome friends.

 

[Gracefulskinny]

How wonderful! Now you have me very excited for our breakfast there!!

Love the Photopass picture with the Happy Anniversary Background. Did you notice that behind your shoulder in that shot is a Bride and Groom kissing? I thought it added an extra touch to the photo.

 

[petals]

catching up.
the food at the rose and crown looks good.

Glad you got to meet Tim finally. I loled at the picture of him on TOT

That Olaf hat is just wrong.

I love the Frozen photopass pics as well

Cookie is super cute

Lovin your frozen t-shirts as well. I need more Frozen clothes

Your CP breakfast looks like fun even is poor Gabby wasn't a big Pooh bear fan.

The group picture with you all cheering made me lol. Gabby wasn't feeling the love for Magic Kingdom. She's to cute though

 

[mickeystoontown]

I love all of the fun Fall colors and decorations at the Magic Kingdom. So very pretty! How great that you were able to have breakfast with Tim and his family. Those kiddos of his are adorable!

 

[natebenma]

The Tower of Terror videos are hysterical! I love that they include the story and I cracked up watching you fiddling with your camera right before the drop and then the oh-so-familiar picture with the camera in front of your face. I get yelled at for that all the time...

The next one with Tim swaying and smiling in the back of the ride is great too.

The picture with Mark wearing the Olaf hat and holding the reindeer is the best ever!

Although you definitely do that Marie hat justice. I hope you purchased that to help keep your ears warm in the winter.

All of the Frozen Photopass pictures are adorable.

Leaving the Studios

I really like this picture!

 

[natebenma]

Your room at BW looks really cute. I smiled when I saw that you have a view of an elephant. I know Mark loves Dumbo, and not sure if his love extends to all elephants in general, but what a fun thing to look at.

And even better, that very accommodating tree blocked out the view of the scary clown.

I have only been to Earl of Sandwich once, back in 2008, and I really want to try it again. In fact, there is one at DTD in Disneyland and it was on my must do list for our trip because I figured it would be a reasonably priced meal, but we never made it there.

 

[MEK]

How many different ears did you have at that breakfast? I think you had one for every character!

What a fun breakfast and you all got SO many great PP pictures. Serious score on that. What great memories! Love them all! CP is such an awesome breakfast, made even better with a large group.

I have to agree that nothing is better than pictures of an empty main street! Sometimes getting up early is so worth it!

I have a feeling I know who lost the puffed french toast bet!

 

[DMGeurts]

My futile attempt at trying to catch up on your TR... I know I could go back much further... So sorry to be so far behind.

Loved your room and your view at BWV... I do think the clown is a little creepy - but not so bad that it would keep me from staying there - I think it looks like a fun resort and one I hope to stay at some day. I also love that you and Mark can comfortably stay in a studio room - I wish we could - It would make trying out some of the DVC resorts so much easier on us.

Your night at DTD looked so fun!

And I knew you were going to CP for breakfast! It's our favorite - it looks like you had a great time!

What a great Dismeet you all had - I loved all of the pictures - you all are so adorable!

Prayers continue for your mom and your entire family - you've been on my mind a lot lately.

D~

 

[natebenma]

Thanks for the updates on your brother and mom- continuing to send along positive energy to all of you.




I haven't been to a preopening at MK- it is so on my bucket list. I love your photos and all of the photopass pictures.

Speaking of...

Love the Photopass picture with the Happy Anniversary Background. Did you notice that behind your shoulder in that shot is a Bride and Groom kissing? I thought it added an extra touch to the photo.

I was wondering if anyone was going to comment on the couple photobombing your Anniversary pictures.

How rude of them to get in your special picture


Really great pictures of Tim and his family, and the ones of the whole gang, on Main Street. The character pictures at Crystal Palace are priceless. Love that you had Tigger and Eeyore ears to wear.

While eating breakfast, Juliana and I were busy making a bet. She didn't want to try the Puffed French Toast. I told her if she did, that I would do any ride with her. You'll have to read the next update to see who won that bet.

Have fun riding Space Mountain!




And I am officially all caught up.



So I know what that means... You are about to slam us with more updates.

 

[vettegirl]

Beautiful pictures of MS. Don't you just love the calm before the storm being there so early! CP is so cute, we are going to try it when Alexander is a little older and the characters are too precious.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Hi Kathy! I'm caught up again, so you'll probably do 3 more updates.

DHS is not my favorite park, either. I think because it feels like everywhere you go you run into walls. I'm sure we just haven't explored enough. That being said, on our last trip, it turned out to be one of our best days. I think we did less planning and it worked out that we were able to just go with the flow and we had some really fun family moments.

We split up when we can on RNRC and TOT. I don't like the freefall and Jim doesn't like to be strapped into the car seat. I will ride with him if no one else is there, but I happily stay out of TOT with the kiddos if need be.

Awesome DISmeets! So fun that you finally got to meet Tim and fam. Such cute kids.

You will have to share what you got at the Christmas shop when you decorate! I need to keep Jim out of there so I can really shop - he's pretty good at putting the brakes on. Love the pic of Mark with the ship's wheel!

Nice start to your MK day - and you got to be with Tim's crew again! Too bad Gabbie didn't enjoy the characters. Maybe next time. I'm wondering what ride Juliana will want you to ride - I think I can guess if Daddy puts her up to something

Continuing to pray for you and yours

 

[GrammyJudy]

Love the Magic Kingdom before opening and thy food looks so good. I'm hungry right now anyway but that looks yummy and I love the fall decorations.

 

[Wood Nymph]

Breakfast at Crystal Palace always looks like so much fun. The Winnie the Pooh characters are so cuddly.

I love the view from your BWV studio. The elephant is really cute and one of the animals that you didn't have outside your AKL room. But the studio itself seems a little plain, especially after the gorgeous room you had at AKL.

 

[MissMaryQC]

What a fun morning! There really is nothing like feeling although the MK is your own, personal playground and for me a nearly empty Main Street does just that!

CP looked super yummy, and super cute. LOVE Mark's princess ears!

More character? Can't wait to see what sort!

 

[RGirl]

Hi Kathy!

Super-cute PP+ pics inside and outside DHS!

What a great DIS meet! So special! And how cool that you were able to coordinate your FP+ to ride together. Very fun!

The Frozen cupcakes look so cute. :

And another fun DIS meet!

Great pics from the Great Movie Ride. Somehow, we have never done this. I always forget it’s there!

Love Mark’s RnR ride photo!

We would never pass up a mere 10-minute wait for ToT either.

Oh, wow! This is the first time I’ve seen one of the ToT ride videos. I LOVE it! How fun!!!

Oh boy, an all-Frozen store. I wonder how long Willow and Maddie will be in that place….. Great PP opportunities though - very cool!

Loved seeing the pics from the Sing-along - what fun!

Awesome pool view at BWV!

Great early-morning MK pictures - I want to be there right now. *sigh*

What a fun DIS breakfast at CP! I love it!
