We will be there. We check in on the 19th. Probably checking out in the 3rd, but we aren't leaving town. 

We were just there and recieved the cutter spray upon check in. We were there a week and outside quite a bit at all hours and it rained quite a bit. I never even saw a mosquito. We didn't use the bug spray at all and never got bit.

Awesome! How are YOU doing??

Just really tired still Otherwise good. I still get herceptin infusions every 3 weeks for the rest of the year. I'm recovering physically (I have hair!). Emotionally, I don't think I'll ever recover. Thanks for asking, Carol. 

We'll be there!

I looked at availability last week for just this coming Saturday night and there was full and partial available for that one night. They must be gone now. I wanted to add a day at the beginning of our stay and was just curious if it was completely booked. Jason ended up adding the one night to our reservation, which is for a premium site. 

Great family pictures!!  How are the crowds at the Fort and Parks?

Crowds at the Fort have been quiet during the weeks and most weekends were busy. This weekend was really quiet though. Except for the great golf cart incident. I'll have to tell you all about that one later unless someone already has.

I'm sorry to hear about Bill's grandpa.  Prayers for your family!  

 

Regarding the trip report....the Ohana bread pudding pictures made my mouth water. 

 

Also, your kids are beautiful.  

Thanks, Dave. I was just reading your Christmas TR earlier. I read through 18 pages and didn't find out why you hate Disney! Then I went to your FB page and couldn't find anything there either! I'm dying to know! Your story with Jasmine and Anna had me laughing so hard though. So funny! You have a beautiful family as well!

I'm so sorry I haven't kept up with this. On the 13th, we had a death in the family, Bill's grandpa. This resulted in him having to fly back home for a few days. In all the craziness, I completely got off track with my TR.

Flowers are covered up in some places. Below freezing here tonight. We are supposed to go to Epcot tomorrow but I don't know if I want to brave the cold temps. What has happened to me?

Lots of sirens and firetrucks this morning all going to the horse barn up front. They were evacuating the horses and stopped the busses for a few minutes. Looked to be a problem.in the HVAC.<br /><br /><br /><br />

We noticed them in the cabins as well. They are a little noisy early in the morning, but all in all we haven't noticed any problems with them.

I'm getting behind here amd my memory is not so good, so I'll just post a few pics for now. <br />We met Lady Llewellyn after we met Anna and Elsa. She was great. She called us the Von Trapps. Lol<br />

We were just there on Sunday and yes, they had chicken and the pork is gone. We had fabulous service and the food was still great.

Cute!! Are you still splitting meals at the various eateries? Which places have you found to serve large amounts?

Honestly, we have noticed that the portions have shrunk some and it's been harder to share. The younger kids have been sharing an adult meal often since it is cheaper than 2 kids meals. But, this is really costing us too much money eating in the parks. We have only been getting ice waters to drink (free and you can get as many as you need). That shaves off a small chunk. It still is costing us around 70-80 per counter service meal. I'm thinking we won't be getting tickets for awhile after these expire. The tickets are so expensive and then combine that with the price of food... It would not be fun to me to pack for for all 10 of us and take it in. We'll just enjoy The Fort and other things.

Love the photos of the girls with Anna and Elsa!

Thanks!

I have been following along and enjoying your report.  The last picture of your younger daughter holding Anna's hand is precious.  

Thanks!

So glad they got to meet Anna and Elsa! (and Aaron!)

Thanks, they loved it.

All caught up. Great report Christina!

Thanks! How's the weather back at home. Wait. Actually I don't want to know yet.

I left off on Thursday, which was a big day for us. On our trip last fall, we got annual passes, but didn't get them until a week before we left, so we didn't get fp+ for several things we wanted to do. One of those things was for the girls to meet Anna and Elsa. Before this trip, I got on right at out 60 days out and was able to book Anna and Elsa partway into our trip. So, this was the big day. We got to the park shortly after 9, the sky was looking very dark and we didn't have to be anywhere right away so we ducked into the shops on main street before the rain hit. We got to talking to a CM in the confectionery and at one point one of the girls started crying. The kind CM tried very hard to talk her out of her crying to no avail. She then gave us two free bags of cotton candy which stopped the crying right away.

POTC update:

The only effect working prior to the hill was the mermaids. No fog, no davy jones, no audio.

 

I haven't seen Davy Jones working since our fall 2013 trip - and hit or miss on the fog and the mermaids.

 

I think it's time for that rumored refurb...

Everything was working when we went on it on Sunday. The fog has Blackbeard in it.
