Glad you had an amazing getaway and the race was so fun! Hope you share that trip with us
The kids look SO cute with their pirate makeovers!
Your room at BLT looks awesome.
The pirates and pals outfits are adorable. And such great pics with Hook & Smee! Those snacks, omg you certainly get some fun goodies!
What a fantasic view of the fireworks, great pics. And meeting Peter Pan at the end is icing on the cake! That looks like such a fun experience
We had such an amazing trip that I'd love to share it with all of you. I've been tossing around the idea of starting a second TR but the idea of having two going at once is a bit overwhelming .....but at the same time, if I wait until I'm finished with this one before I start that one, I feel like it may be too far out from the trip. Ahhh! So not sure yet what I'm going to do, haha.
Funnily enough, I imagine most people probably thought you just came from there.
WOW, everyone looks fantastic!! Curious Rachel. How long roughly does it take beginning to end?
WOW!!!! I love the look of the pool all lit up, especially the Mickey head.
It's so surprising to see a room like that in Disney. Given the generally puny sizes of most of the guest rooms in Disney hotels. Very very cool.
YAY, I did the Pirate's Cruise back in February and loved it!!! But you certainly got an extra special treat with Merry ChristWishes and all the perimeter fireworks. That must have been incredible.
The Pirates League makeovers were quite quick. I want to say that we were in and out of there in about 30 minutes.
I was definitely impressed (and thankful!) by the sizes of both of the 1-bedroom villas that we stayed in during this trip.
I'd like to say that I planned it that way but it was pure luck that we got to see "Merry ChristWishes" on our Pirate's cruise, whoo hoo! .... and getting to see those perimeter fireworks from the lagoon was amazing!
That's a packed day for any adult...so amazed your kids held up so well.
I can honestly say that my kids really held up really, REALLY WELL that day and for the whole trip. It was pretty amazing actually! It must have been the Disney magic
because they are definitely not that way at home... believe me, there's plenty of whining and fighting and pouting and tantrums.... and thankfully we had none of that on the trip.
Your kids are way too cute!!! I love all of those different coordinating outfits...where did you get all of the cute outfits..
Also where did you get those autograph books done? My son is going to Disney in October with my parents i'd LOVE to get him one for his trip!!
There's a whole Disney-"Customs" community that I found and have become a part of through Facebook. There are some amazingly talented designers (who are Disney addicts like us!) that make some incredible outfits. And I was lucky enough to be able to borrow a couple outfits from some of my Disney-customs-loving friends too.
I made our autograph book with some help from DISboards. There's a whole autograph book thread under the Creative DISigns section that has a ton of great info. I used some of the 8x8 images and printed the book through Shutterfly. So easy and it turned out really cute.
I just sat here completely & totally engrossed in your pictures! Your children are absolutely adorable & those CLOTHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE their outfit changes!
Aww, that is so sweet. Thank you, thank you for such kind words!
Love the pictures with Peter pan in their outfits. So darn cute.
Our meet with Peter was a ton of fun! It was fun to see his reaction to the Captain Hook & Tick Toc Croc on Donovan's shirt and Jorie's dress.
What a busy but AWESOME day!!! Holiday Wishes from the lagoon
!
Your pictures are adorable. I need to do the Pirate's Cruise one day!
Yes! You should definitely try the Pirate's Fireworks cruise. I'm pretty sure that the adults had just as much (if not more!) fun than the kids on the boat. Our captain, Patch was a riot!
