Thanks for the updates!! GG was a lot of fun, but definitely not easy w/ an under 2 yo not in a high chair for you. Thanks for already agreeing to a regular table to Maya can be in a high chair lol! Not sure how I would handle Maya in my lap trying to eat all my yummy stuff and trying to cut up aria's plate too. But, looking back at the food at GG, Maya would have loved the sweet potato fries and broccoli! I'll have to remember that for the next trip, depending on our breakfast here it might have to be visited twice - LOVE Chip & Dale too, I think they are the best characters for M&G's.
No problem with sitting at a table with a high chair for Maya - whatever makes the meal most pleasant for everyone!
Chip and Dale are great, for sure!
Glad the food post sounded yummy hahaha, I guess I was hungry at work!!
Made me hungry at work too.
I mentioned asking for sriracha when we go to Ohana, knowing that Kona has it I am hoping that Ohana will give it too (vs the standard hot sauce). I used to carry around little packets of Frank's red hot sauce (which I also like) but the packets went bad and I never bought more of them. boo! I need to keep my eye out at places if they put out yummy packets of hot sauce though because they were really nice to have! Breakfast potatoes PLUS good hot sauce = heaven for me!! (I think I'll go look online to see what I can find lol)
Well, if I come across any of those packets, you can have them. I'm not much one for heavy spice. Some is okay, but burning my mouth out, not so much. (But for a Minnesotan, that actually means I have a "high" spice tolerance, since the joke here is that ketchup is too spicy for most people.
)
Yes, sorry, I meant at DHS when we get there around lunchtime. The menu at the BDL doesn't look amazing (although I would be happy to swing by and hand you the TiW card if they'll take it) and I don't think either girl will be up for a sit-down meal anyway, but just something quick to grab. I looked at WDWinfo website yesterday and noted some things in each park that looked good (at CS places) - didn't find much at DHS, but Rosie's has a fried green tomato sandwich with jalapeno ranch supposedly, so I might veer that way upon entering. Either that, or a Mickey pretzel and popcorn lol!
You know, I'm not sure if they take TiW at the lounge. They have the restaurant on the list, but not the lounge specifically. We don't plan to order too much anyway, so it's fine either way. Given we have both breakfast and dinner at H&V this day, we don't need a heavy lunch.
oops, adding: I never really used the placemat things for aria so haven't even tried them for maya - but I do have a small stack to bring. thanks!
Okay, sounds good. I remember them being handy with Izzy when she was starting to eat at the table, but tended to knock plates to the ground, etc. At least it was a large clean surface for her to smear food around.
Thank you for catching up!! Dugette, you should check out her report! <3
Will do! (Though I am way behind on most that I follow, but I'll at least subscribe for now).
Those pictures of the girls with Minnie are So. Stinking. Cute. I actually like Aria's grump face And I love Izzy's face when she's looking at Minnie's matching dress-- AND her face in the SSE pic. So joyful!
Thanks! I love the cute little toddler faces they both are making throughout this trip.
I LOVE SSE. I have searched high and low for a recording of Dame Judy narrating.... It's just so soothing
We've been listening to the Four Parks, One World soundtrack in the car lately and Spaceship Earth just came on tonight.
Hey! Gracie has that same "Minnie" dress and I was going to use it for our trip but Jackie gave me a hand me down minnie dress from CeCe and it's too adorable not to use! So, no target dress. Although I do love how perfectly it matches minnie in your pictures!!
Yes, use Jackie's dress, I'm sure it's amazing, knowing her.
Bring the other one as a backup in case of a spill or something.
I was surprised how well it matched Minnie's dress, considering it wasn't actually a Disney product.
Oh also, we should coordinate our Jedi training plans soon... only 12 days left for us!!! Yay!!!
I think we are aiming for the 11:40am Jedi Training on 12/8.
Cute pics from the meet. Those faces Aria was giving Minnie before getting tickled are hilarious!
Oh, that reminds me, I was going to mention I love Aria's "being tickled" faces too. Cute!
Izzy is reminding me a lot of how Delilah was on this trip. She was very excited about the characters until she got close to them and realized how big they are! Then she got a little nervous and needed someone to hold her to get close enough for a photo.
Yep, that's exactly how Izzy was this trip. Interestingly, it was the only trip she was like this. Even two months later, she was 180 degrees different and couldn't get enough character hugs.
Funny how quickly things change.
They were both just rolling down into the area to bang into whatever they hit. 
), we headed over to Dinosaur. We intended to switch off using Rider Swap, since the girls were too small (not anymore!) Well, as we approached the attraction with the girls in their strollers, the CM saw us coming and pulled out TWO Rider Swaps and handed one to each of us.

(but did make up for that on the next trip). We attempted some more of our letter pictures on the way out, with questionable results:
And Izzy fears the wrath of Elsa. 
We have randomly gotten it before, but just by chance. However, we recently got credit cards that included a perk of paying our fee to get either TSA Pre-Check or Global Entry. Since it was being paid for, we went with the pricier Global Entry ($100/each, in case you're wondering - and good for 5 years of Pre-Check and expedited Customs for international travel). We got our pre-approvals, so we then had to schedule our interviews. And the only center in our area was booked until APRIL! 
(Also, my PSA on these programs for those of you with young ones, since I didn't know until too late: Young kids can go through TSA Pre-Check with a parent who has it. Young kids CANNOT go through Global Entry for Customs unless they have their own Global Entry approval. So, if we go out of country, we either have to forfeit the Global Entry, have one parent go through and wait for the other + Izzy, or get Izzy her own. 
I am so excited for Izzy to finally ride this! 
It will probably look similar to this 
). Then I will change into my Minnie Pocket shirt at Pop:
