OK let me wait and see if the last two updates stick. They currently look fine to me.
I actually thought about that and not just with the now talking Mickey meet but also how he and others talk during Celebrate the Magic - how do kids react to Characters sometimes talking and sometimes not - interesting that Aria definitely noticedAria still talks about “talking Mickey” and is always quick to point out when a character can’t talk.
They look fine on my phone! Yay!
Will be back to comment more later, when I can type.
Btw, I'm pretty sure that we were down in Town Square and you were in or near your parade viewing area when I thought of castle pic. Because I know I would've had to go all the way back down Main Street to do it.
The last two posts look good to me - so I guess whatever you did ... keep doing it!
Looks like some fun meets with Tink and then Mickey (other than the wait for Mickey). We never really paid much mind to the other fairies as Olivia was never into those shows/movies, but is getting a bit more into them now so I think for future trips she would be more interested - in any event, more charters is good (just hope they post out front who is meeting - always hate when you don't know which character is there until you get to the front of the line)

Ouch. I guess I didn't realize that had happened just right before we met up.I folded up the stroller to fit into the trunk – with the camera still hanging from the handle! UGH!
Yes, indeed!I had texted Dugette and I think she was still on the bus from her resort?
I felt so bad showing up with a hot, tired kid who hadn't had a nap after traveling all day and then immediately dumping her on you while I rode a coaster. Darn FP+! Glad that she was amused by your photos and games. And it appears her shoes were fun too. Cute pictures! It's funny to see pics of your kid in another TR!She helped wheel Izzy’s stroller over to the shop across the way and then hopped on the ride. Aria was asleep at this point, and Izzy was not too happy about her mommy leaving
So cool that she'll get to ride Mine Train! I'm excited for Barnstormer - I tried to measure Izzy tonight and I think she will probably be okay with shoes, but is still cutting it pretty close (hard to measure a wiggly toddler, though). She has been saying, "I want to ride Goofy's roller coaster!" lately.SO much fun and I’m so excited to experience it with Aria in May.
I actually remember this, as she was so resistant to napping. We walked a bit to try to get her down, but she was still up. She ended up falling asleep while we waited in line at Gaston's - I guess the counter was just TOO boring for her. Thank goodness she went to sleep finally and we got a nice break!I think Dugette got Izzy to sleep (or maybe I did during the 2nd round of 7DMT rides? I don’t remember) but by the time both of us had ridden twice both of the girls were asleep and neither of us had plans for a bit. So we headed to Gaston’s!
Yay, Aria! I hadn't even thought about Tom Sawyer Island for May, but now I'm thinking how much fun Izzy would have there... I need more MK time!This turned out to be a blast – Aria was so excited to enter the caves and run around – and when we got to the barrel bridge instead of being afraid she wanted to try it herself! She was so proud after going across!
Glad you figured something out. I normally post by typing the update in Word, copying my Photobucket links into the Word doc as I go, then copying and pasting it all into the DIS. And it's still been working fine...at home. I did one update from work on my PTR and it was a MESS, even though I was doing the same thing as always. Text that is all links and crazy formatting, etc. So, I think the version of Word that you're using may matter? Or the equipment? I have a MacBook Pro at home (using now) and it's been just like the old days, for the most part. Anyway, hope the new DIS doesn't give you too many problems - we like TR updates!UGH! I don't know what is going on. This is what happened to my last post from a couple days ago? It was fine when I posted, I triple checked! Now it's screwed up again.
Ooooh, that would be great!Side note: I just heard that they may be bringing back some of the Fairy friends to the meet! That’d be so great.
We had that same experience later that night. Slow Mickey FP+. The great meet was worth it, though.Unfortunately the Fastpass was in NO WAY FAST and 15 minutes later were still in line.
Interesting. Izzy hasn't said anything about it, but maybe she will this trip. I kinda wondered how that goes over with "older" kids.Aria still talks about “talking Mickey” and is always quick to point out when a character can’t talk.

Excited that you found your RE and really hoping for the best for you guys! It does feel like it's been a really long time since you first mentioned trying for a second - hope you're nearing the end of the tunnel. It can sure be a long road.but I finally tracked down the RE that helped us get pregnant with Aria, and we have an appointment for today
Where are her priorities?!I'm glad Lynda left the planning to me, because she hasn't even responded to my email with the list of fastpasses, asking her to switch anything for her and Aron that they really want to do (or don't want to do).
Well, that is super awesome!ALSO from our last trip, we have a Fastpass for seven dwarfs we can use this day!! (Doesn't expire)
Do it!! Not sure if you saw my post yet about the Outdoor Kitchens...there are so many good-looking items! Of course, I'm not sure how much you can partake in, based on your RE appointment...Tonight I have the kids club reservation at the Beach Club for Aria and was going to go to EPCOT (activate my AP, buy a TiW card, and then go on in). We'll see - up in the air on this one. Also I had the new Trattoria al Forno booked for this evening, but I may switch that. This evening came about after reading about all the fun F&W booths and their food AND drink options - and also seeing how much fun Aria had at the kids club on the cruise.
Good request! So sweet of Aria to take you out on Mother's Day! She should totally charge it to her Magic Band!This was my mother's day dinner request hehe.
We could possibly have some overlap this day. It will be the first day of SWW and I suspect that a lot of the SWW days will have Dug in shows at DHS in the afternoon and me and Izzy wandering over to World Showcase to nap and/or fill the time. To be determined, but there's a chance we might both be in Epcot at the same time.May 15 - Lynda's birthday! She was VERY excited to dine at Cinderella's Royal Table, and I wanted Aria to do the BBB for the first time, so we are heading to the park at 8AM for a BBB apt, and then we have lunch at CRT. Hopefully Aria will be comfortable in her Cinderella tutu dress I have at some point (either before or after her nap) we'll head over to EPCOT for the evening and Lynda requested Tutto Italia for her birthday dinner soo we'll be spending our evening at the World Showcase!
Yay!!! Can't wait!Tonight we have an evening at Downtown Disney planned with dinner at T-REX with Dugette and family too!

This whole post is actually a good reminder to me that I need to figure out some sort of FP+ plan for our trip. We can get them this weekend, but still won't know SWW details, so I'm going to have to guess at things like, I don't know, which park we'll be in.

Totally relate to/understand these feelings! I always thought I'd have 2-3 kids, but Dug and I both are surprised how happy with are with one. If we have another someday, great, but if not - we've already won.I don't really mind having a large difference in ages (hey, at least we won't have 2 kids in college at the same time! LOL) and we are just having SO much fun with Aria, that it is really nothing like what I went through when trying for her - because I already feel complete.
That would be super fun! Our schedule is super-duper subject to change still, but I was working on FP+ plans today (can reserve this weekend) and I have Izzy and I in Epcot from about 1:30-4:30 this afternoon, I believe. Again, could definitely change, but that's what it is for now. Hoping we can meet up for a bit in Epcot!Ahh that'd be awesome! Esp since we'll be doing WS as well. Maybe we can get the girls on "donalds boat ride" together!

I'm still here and I love your updates! You must share... What is your MK parking secret? And ouch about the camera... I've done that too and broken the kit lens that came with the camera.
I'm not loving this new dis layout but it's because I mostly check it on my phone and the iPhone app doesn't work anymore making it a little harder for me to go on the boards. Your posts seem to be good now though!
Love the MSEP! Aria seems to be in such awe! Love it!!!
I had something else I wanted to ask but I can't remember right now. I'll have to look back to refresh my memory.
Oh yes! I remember now... So you can get FP's on Aria's band even though she didn't pay for a ticket?! I wish I had known that all these trips with my 2 little ones! How do you do that? Maybe I can do it with my daughter's band this next trip.
love this phot - such a cute face!
I mean, that is clearly a happy kid!
Love this photo too - really love the new Dumbo set up at night with the colored lights on the water, etc.!
Sharing glow sticks and the like and just seeing kids make friends is one of the little hidden treasures at Disney I thinkI thought that was really nice of them and we ended up sharing our light up toys with the little girl who was about Aria’s age. They ended up having a lot of fun playing together while waiting for the parade to start.
Wow - that just sucks - and the bus ride to there is so long. I love the actual hotel but it all feels remote - only downside I see to the AK LodgeI literally drove around the parking lot at Kidani for 25 minutes or more looking for a spot.
