Well, we're back. We had a great time overall. Very exhausted and sometimes cranky but mostly very, very good. Here are some memories:
High Points
-How great the kids were on the plane.
-Seeing Paige's eyes light up at the whole experience.
-Eating in the Castle and seeing the Princesses.
-Watching Cinderella's Royal Coronation.
-Having a $100 dinners that we didn't have to pay for because of the meal plan! What a deal that is!
-Paige getting chosen by Crush in the Living Seas for a chat.
-Getting to see Dad and Sue, getting lost on the way to dinner!
-Joshy taking his shoes off a million times a day in each park and not knowing it until we ran over them with the stroller. This sounds like a bad thing but really became pretty comical!
-The parades and firework shows.
-Being able to do things for Paige that I wouldn't have gotten as a child like the hair wrap, face painting and character meals.
Low Points
-Joshy throwing his bottle in the garbage while Paige and Chris were in Stitch's great escape. He just said "baba" so I gave it to him and next thing I knew it was in the garbage!
-Paige whining about her feet hurting and asking Chris for a piggyback.
-Joshy not eating for the first few days because he's so stubborn and would rather not eat than be fed.
-Joshy crying for at least an hour one night waking everyone up with no explanation as to why.
-Some kid kicking Joshy in the face at Pooh's Thoughtful Spot.
-Paige's fear of all things scary, making her freak out in line for Peter Pan (what if Captain Hook jumps out at me!). She refused to see Voyage of the Little Mermaid (what if there is a big Ursula) at MGM and the Beauty & the Beast Show. As Chris says, we never have to worry about this one bungy jumping!
-Huge, poorly behaved children jumping over Joshy, pushing him and knocking him down in the Toon Town Park.
-Taking insanely overcrowded bus back to the resort and having to stand because no one would let a pregnant woman sit down.
-Listening to Paige complain about things we weren't buying her when she had more stuff than the rest of us combined!
I am a mom to three children: Paige (9 1/2), Joshua (4 1/2) and Ally (3). I live in the house where I grew up only this time as the parent. I juggle work and parenting, keeping up the house and trying to be a good friend and family member. Sounds easier than it is!

Sounds like overall...you had a good time....(how could you not..its Disney !!)
Yeah...the big kids knocking my kid over would really piss me off...Hello parents, watch your kids...Is it really that difficult...???
So when are you starting to plan the next trip ??
Ha ha! Not going until the newborn is about 4. So I guess in 2010. Very much looking forward to doing it again without diapers, without bottles and possibly without a stoller. Sounds so freeing!
