This post was a ways back, but we just did Magic Kingdom last weekend and I was 35 weeks pregnant. Just drink a lot of water, take lots of breaks and no rides (well, I did go on Small World LOL).

We are planning a "big" family trip in Feb 08 - staying at POR for a week and doing all 4 parks so DH said we can get AP. yay!

If anyone is around a tv today, it is all day Disney on the Travel chaneel till midnight.

They are good kinds to have! People think the Disney thing is all me, little do they know.

BTW, the behind the scenes show on at 9:00 had almost all new footage, it was very good. It reshows tonight at midnight, and again through out the week.

FLminivan, I looked at your blog, but the pictures didn't show up for me for some reason. I will try again later.

We're going to Disneyland on Thursday. We don't usually go during the busy seasons--next week is spring break but we homeschool so totally forgot!--but I can't wait! They have a whole new princess fantasy faire where the kids get to make crowns or shields and meet three princesses. They can also do their hair or nails and my mom is buying dd a Sleeping Beauty dress. I am nearly as excited as my little girl!
I LOVE Disneyland. One year we had an annual passport and it was wonderful!(Both sets of parents live in Southern California.)

Have a great time, that sounds wonderful!

DH picked the location of our vacation at Disneyland. I wanted to go to Hawaii.

I saw parts of the Disney on Travel. Made me want to go back to Disneyland, even though I went 2 weeks ago.

Spring break was on when we were there. We went in the am, then went and napped and then closed the parks down. Lines went away about 9:30/10 pm ish. Using fast passes helped the lines a lot.

Thanks! It's been a rough year and a half for us and it'll be so nice to just have a day at Disney. It'll be great to see dd so happy!
Plus my mom is going so my dh and I will be able to go on some rides together. (DD doesn't like anything even slightly scary. Usually we do the parent swap.)

Hugs, so glad you have DL to make it a little bit better for a day at least. Winter is always hard for me, going to WDW for a week makes up for it (at least for a while.) 2007 is a red letter year for us, 3 trips! The last one (in May) will be a cruise. Our 1st time. I am getting pretty excited!

That sounds a lot like the bibbity boopity bo at down town Disney in WDW. My problem is the girls hair ends up the same, slicked back and pulled in a bun. Making things sounds better, is this a paid event?

[flminivanmama]

we took our first cruise in november - RCCL (gasp!) DH and I still prefer Disney World, natch, but the kids had such a great time and really want to go on another. you'll love it.

It also assured that I was drinking enough because I didn't feel bad when I filled it yet again.

What are these things and where can I get one, or three!?

[mama2mygirl]

The crown making and storytelling are free. The hair/nails(they say something about putting flowers in their hair--I'll let you know!) cost money. The cupcake decorating cost money. Going in is free. Meeting the three princesses is free. The dancing is free.
I think this is a response to the princess lunch at Ariel's Grotto. In the crowded season, it used to be the only way to see the princesses without waiting in huge lines. That was my opinion. One mom I know says that the princess lunch was fun but that she and her dd met plenty of princesses in the part just fine. She didn't mind the lines and wouldn't do the lunch again.
Anyhow, it really wasn't fair to have to pay to see the princesses. (Which is what I felt it was becomming. ) I didn't mind--I love the lunch and my dd had her birthday there and they did an amazing job. But it is really expensive and I can see not wanting to do it. We are not doing it this time.
Anyhow, my dd and I are both totally excited.

Question about the DVC????

From what I read you have to purchase a minimum amount of points and then you can use them to stay - but is the minimum purcahse like $14000??? I read something like that but it seems high... I dont know.

Its been a while since I have seen these in the stores, but I am on the lookout too!!

[PatchChild]

I think I got mine at Target, but it was a while ago. I'm not sure who might be carrying them now. There are quite a few on Ebay though. Try Brita Water Bottle.

[wendygrace]

The Britta Water Bottles are discontinued. I believe there's now one called water2go or something that's similiar.

Looks like we are getting close to having ds' MAW trip scheduled out. We're looking at going June 24th and returning June 30th. I am soooo excited! We are on the waitlist for part of our trip for GKTW but if GKTW doesn't open up, we'll be staying on a Disney resort for a couple days and staying at GKTW the rest of the trip.

Bonny, thank you so much for the info. I just realized that I must have read your response and never thanked you. So sorry. Not sure how that happened.
