Stop and look around

by momanda on March 15, 2011

I wrote before about what I wanted to do on our 10th anniversary trip to WDW.  I wanted to slow down and really look at the park.  Soak up the details.  Well, here are some pictures of what I found on Day 1 of our trip.

Welcome home! Port Orleans French Quarter

The first thing I did was really look at the entrance to our resort while waiting to get our bags off of the Magical Express bus.  I said before that we went to New Orleans for our honeymoon and I wanted to see just how much detail Disney put into the resort.  I have to say it took me right back there! (you know, except for the drunk people)  I’ll have more pictures of the resort from later in our trip in another post.  Now it’s off to the parks! [click to continue…]

Magical Moments Monday!

"Mine! Mine! Mine"

This week’s Magical Moments features my son outside The Living Seas with Nemo and Friends.  He was so captivated by the seagulls.  He probably would’ve stood there all afternoon if we’d let him!  This picture was from our trip in May 2008.

Magical Moments Monday!

March 7, 2011

  This week’s Magical Moments Monday is from December 2009.  We had just arrived at the Magic Kingdom on the first day of our trip during the Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It! Parade.  This is my son’s face when he saw Mickey Mouse on the float.  What a great moment!

Magical Moments Monday!

February 28, 2011

This is one of the magical things I saw on our last trip to the World.  There are so many things that you miss by rushing around the parks!  I’d never seen this before and can’t wait to show the kids next time we take them.

Magical Moments Monday!

February 21, 2011

I love barber shop harmony.  The reason I love barber shop is because my grandfather sang baritone in a barber shop quartet for many, many years. So for this week’s  installment of Magical Moments Monday I wanted to share one of my own magical moments.  In September 2010 I got to ride the horse-drawn car [...]

Magical Moments Monday!

October 25, 2010

This magical moment is from December 2009 when my daughter saw Princess Tiana for the first time in the parade at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.  She was so happy because Tiana waved to her.  I cried after taking this picture.

Disney music Block Party

September 21, 2010

I have to confess… I don’t have an iPod. There, I said it. Rumor has it there’s an iPod Shuffle floating around the house that’s supposed to be mine but I don’t like that you can’t see what’s on there so I don’t mind that it’s M-I-A.  I’ll just stick with my CDs for now, [...]

10 Magical Years

September 20, 2010

If you’ve been here before you’ve probably seen the counter to the right. This is not my first Disney trip but I felt a counter was needed for this one. This is our first trip without our children (or other relatives). Our first trip ALONE! After I get over the twinge of guilt of going [...]
