I'm so far behind! I'm trying to catch up today...
- The Christmas Party looks like so much fun! That's on my bucket list...
- That's too funny that Jimmy freaked out over Dumbo! He looks happy after conquering it though!
- Too cute about him singing on Small World! I actually haven't been on the one at WDW - we went on the one at Disneyland on our first trip, and that was enough for us!
- The Pooh characters with their scarves on is so cute!
- Yay for Pixie Dust and a free BB8 cup!
The girls in the family ahead of us started out sort of precocious, but as the meet went on they were really demanding of Mary’s attention and the littlest one kept stomping her foot and talking back at her Mom. My Mom and I kept exchanging glances like, just take your kid and move along, but the kids were clearly running the show here.
Ugh. This happened on our last trip to Disneyland when we went to meet Olaf. The kid started out cute, he wanted Olaf to play ring-around-the-rosie - but after 5 minutes of it, it was annoying! Then the Photopass photographer was trying to get the little boy to stand beside Olaf so he could take a picture, but the little boy just kept running circles around Olaf, and then throwing his blanket at Olaf, and then trying to tear apart the backdrop he was standing in front of. The mom was just smiling away the entire time - like come on lady!
- I love the pictures with the Country Bears! What a great meet and greet! That's funny that Jimmy had to actually catch them first though!
- I love all the meet and greets with the Princes and Princesses!
- The fake snow that tastes like soap is still better than real snow!
this Dad came walking by and handed us 6 paper Fastpasses that said they could be used for any ride besides Peter Pan and 7DMT. They didn’t expire til 12/31 and he said, “Here, hope you can use these. We didn’t have a chance.”
This is awesome! I love Disney magic that comes from other families!
The food all looked and smelled AMAZING, but again with my nerves I just couldn’t eat much….honestly, I found this feeling hilarious looking back on it because the day of my actual wedding I was so easygoing and calm—this was totally foreign to me, but I think it was really the sheer excitement of all the planning coming to fruition, we really were about to celebrate our vow renewal HERE in Walt Disney World. I never would have imagined we would be so fortunate!
I have a feeling this will be me on our wedding day! Actually, it'll probably be the entire week we're there with our families...
as Krista and Aly walked up. It was like clockwork—they walked up to us and in walked the Disney Florist CM with my pink and white Mickey balloons (eep!!) and a box with my bouquet, the flowers I had ordered for Rob, Jimmy and my Dad, and a corsage for my Mom.
Your flowers looked amazing! And I showed my fiance the pictures with your balloons, and showed him your post in my planning report with the cost, and he's all for getting balloons now too! So yay!
I recognized Krista from her Instagram account, which I had started following because she has the most contagious smile and posts these amazing magical Disney moments all the time!! I was like, “Hey! I know you!”
Now I need to try and find her on Instagram!
Jimmy looked up at me and said, “Dance, Mommy?” He and I had our own little private twirl around
Aww!
And just like that, we were off…my little Jimmy was walking me down the aisle to remarry his Daddy, with “When You Wish Upon a Star” playing. We walked about halfway down the path, where my Dad met us and passed Jimmy the ring pillow. He walked the rest of the way down to meet Rev. Tim and Rob, then my Dad walked me down the aisle for the 2nd time.
I love this! What a great way to incorporate your son!
Jimmy was standing in my line of sight just to Rob’s side bouncing around with the pillow and all I could think during this whole ceremony is “I’m going to kill him if he drops those rings!” I had the rings tied onto the ribbon on the pillow, but Rev. Tim had said that would be cumbersome during the ceremony, so he untied the bow, and just put the one side of the ribbon through the middle of the rings and put a straight pin in the end of the ribbon. As I watched Jimmy flopping around AND AT ONE POINT DROPPING THE PILLOW ON THE GROUND all I could think is
this vow renewal is going to end with two new rings in the lake and a very cranky lady in white.
Haha, I love the faces Jimmy makes! He seems to have so much personality!
Rev. Tim called Jimmy over and asked us to hold his hands making a circle. He said the vows we had said in 2006 were a promise to love one another and today we had renewed that promise of love. Then he asked Jimmy to promise he would do all he can to make sure ours is the best family ever, we made promises to love and take care of each other always and we sealed it with a group hug. Jimmy got his ring and was SO excited!
This is adorable! I love it!
I love your banner! And once again the faces Jimmy makes! Hahaha
Ok, I need to plan on taking pictures at the Grand now. That shot with the castle in the background is perfect!
Ok - I'm caught up to the bottom of page 3 now. I'll hopefully catch up on the rest by the weekend!
