Blog neglect

I know I have not written all week. I have no time or energy for witty creative banter. My Disney scrapbook is sucking my brain dry. I am nearly done right now. I am functioning on about 3 hours of sleep hoping that Jim does not snore all night and Hopey doesn’t have to pee (or want to eat) 14 times.

A blog far more interesting than mine!

My Dad started his own blog – God help us all. If any of you are interesting in hearing about what Bob is thinking about here is the link

Can I go back now?

Just kidding – but I am making notes for our next visit. Mary informed me in the car last night she would get her hair done at the Bippity Boppity Boutique next time. Of course that is before I fed her dinner to Hopey which resulted in a 30 minute fit. She had been up from the table for at least 30 minutes and when I asked her if she was done she ignored me so I gave it to Hope. All was well until she saw that plate was gone and Hopey had it. Wow I really felt bad and she was really mad ! We made up before it was time to go to bed.

On the plane

Chef Mickey

Our last night! We didn't go to any of the parks. Except for a few short breaks it rained all day. Oh well there is still plenty to see on the next visit which is scheduled for Mary's 4th birthday at the moment. We have a 9:30 flight this a.m. and I am exhausted!

Breakfast at the Grand Floridian

We had breakfast with Mary Poppins, Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter and Tigger and Pooh! Right now we are sitting in the hotel room. It is pouring down rain and Mary & Courtney are taking a nap. We have dinner reservations at Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary (the hotel that Grandma & Grandpa took Theresa, Maria and I to in 1976 or 1977) tonight. During breakfast we discussed our next trip will likely be for Mary's 4th birthday. I think she will love all the birthday attention and hopefully be a little easier to deal with. All in all she is being pretty good for a two year old.

 

Princess dinner

The food was better with breakfast but Mary did much better tonight with the Princess's. Rain moved in and sound like it will stay with us the rest of the vacation. Tomorrow is breakfast at The Grand Floridian and dinner with Chef Mickey!

Quick trip to Hollywood Studios

We got out for Ice Cream and Beauty and the Beast before nap. She fell asleep in the car before we got out of the park. We have dinner with the Princesses tonight so I will be taking the big camera. I have used the little camera today and yesterday and while I like less to lug around I am missing some good shots because it is too slow!

At the pool

Mary was so worn out yesterday we didn't try to make it to the parks early after a little cereal Courtney Mary & I headed to the hotel pool while Jim watched Meet the Press (yeah I know we are on vacation!) I took nearly 200 pictures there here are just a few.

Magic Kingdom

Well the plan was to wake up late have lunch at 11:30 with Pooh and friends, dinner at Cinderella's castle and stay until the park closed. In retrospect not such a great plan. Mary was up before 8:00 we got out of the hotel a little late but still managed to make it for lunch. Mary loved seeing all the characters! It was HOT we rode the train around the park, got pictures with Mickey & the Princess's, she rode the barnstormer roller coaster, drove the cars, went on the Merry go round but the never ending wait for the Peter Pan adventure (at least 45 minutes did her in) I really didn't think we would make it for dinner at that point but we got her ready in the baby center (smelled a little poopy but a good place for kids) then the pacie princess headed to the castle. We got awesome pictures with Cinderella Mary (will have to post later the Disney photographer got that one) even gave her the pacie. Then dinner where yes she took off her shoes and socks. She loves seeing the Mice. Then we decided to leave before the parade and fireworks she was asleep in the car within minutes and out for the night!
