Thanks:hilarious:, I'll take that!

We made it to the Rose and Crown shortly after 12:30 and checked in. Maddie and I took these pictures of each other while James took Xander for another bathroom break. There are my new shades! Maddie belongs to a children's theater group and has signed up for their tour of London next summer...

Thank you, it gets "easier" to get used to as time passes but at the same time I miss him and mom more because so much time has gone by. Lucky for us Xander has such an open expressive face, we can usually tell when he's plotting something. His teachers know to look for the signs too! On SSE...

While we were waiting in line for Frozen, I started to hook my sunglasses onto my purse when one of the stems snapped:arghh:. Those were my favorite sunglasses! Maddie was thrilled when she found out. "hah! I'm not the only one who breaks sunglasses!" No sympathy to be found there:cautious...

Happy Birthday to Toni and Sterg. Your kids are so beautiful/handsome!

Thank you Max, that's really sweet of you!

After the Farm Ride we set out for the World Showcase with the Frozen ride in mind. I got a return time with Xander's DAS for 40 minutes later which was perfect for a bathroom break and a visit to the Kringla Bakeri! It was just after 10am and we were pretty hungry since we'd just had a snack...

I am so glad we managed to do that last vacation. Dad had been throwing the idea around for a few years and we finally pinned him down and said "If your serious about going we should pick a date and do it so we don't regret putting it off later." My mom had been wanting to do a family trip to...

How have you never seen Star Wars:jawdrop:? Glad you had a great pool day at the Beach Club. We had a good time on our pool day there playing volleyball over the "string" with the kids too!

OK, moving on from the tear inducing visit to The Seas where I just barely managed to keep it together. Disney is truly the happiest place on earth but apparently is capable of bringing out the entire range of emotions! We loaded Xander into the stroller and discussed where we would go next...

We checked out the other tanks of sea life and then it was time to go upstairs to see the biggest tank. If you are reading this and have also read my pre trip report, you know that I lost both of my parents within five years of each other. My dad most recently about a year ago. The big family...

After getting the family photos in front of SSE, our next move was to go to the guest relations building to get Xander set up with DAS (Disability Access Service) for the rest of the trip. This is something you can't do at Disney until you've entered one of the parks on your first day. It was...

At the character meals they always ask the kids ages when you check in even though I'm sure it's already in the system. I feel like I'm being tested and might get kicked out if I lie (I guess I'm paranoid that way:p). I think Xander could still pass for a large 9 year old, they always looked...

I have been following your report the last couple of days but hadn't chimed in yet. I can't believe you were at the August 29 Halloween party! That was the last night of my family vacation and we went to the MNSSHP that night too! We were also waiting in line to get in at 4pm. Now I'll be...

The first thing we did was stop and get a family photo. The first one is the best shot with our phone, although there are random people by my head. Didn't they get the memo that the park was supposed to stay empty just for us:rolleyes:? I like this one because Xander is looking at the camera...

Thursday August 24, First Disney Parks Day!! Xander's vacation schedule book came to the rescue for us this morning. As soon as we were on Disney property, Xander's single focus was to get to Magic Kingdom and his favorite ride Small World. To be fair, our tradition on any Disney trip up to...

After dinner we went back to the room for a little while. Xander was pleased when we surprised him with Thing 1! Maddie hung out with her hungarian horntail and Buckbeak, who she'd brought along from home. It was a little too early to call it a night so we decided to go back down and...

Glad you started your report, can't wait to find out more!

I think Maddie was still laughing about Donald when Pluto came over. I got in on the Pluto cuddling Last up was Minnie Mouse. Then some desert:hungry:. Last was the bill:eek:. That one hurt a bit, this is our first Disney trip since Xander passed the threshold and is officially considered an...

Mickey was next, Xander paid much closer attention to him. Mickey insisted on taking Maddie's arm like a proper gentleman Xander felt Donald deserved a smooch. The interaction with Donald was a riot! He was great with Xander and Maddie couldn't stop laughing!
