Baby B's Room: Phase One
Mom came over this week to start on the Baby B's room. She's not even born yet and she has the cutest clothes ever! We simply started on the closet for now, taking off tags and putting them in the temporary dresser. The crib from Grandma and Grandpa B will be ordered soon, along with the dresser from Grandma and Grandpa R. Aunt Judy sent the cutest Minnie Mouse bank for our little Princess. She will definitely be a Disney lover. I think the baby shower next month, put on by Auntie Ellen, will be an overwhelming success:)

Disneyworld 2008
The Lord and Lady are back recounting their adventures! Our most recent adventure was a trip to one of our favorite places, Disneyworld. (Had to squeeze in one last trip before Princess B makes her appearance!)
We left St. Louis Sunday and arrived around 6pm to Port Orleans-Riverside. We were fortunate that the Magic Kingdom had Extra Magic Hours that evening; meaning that it was open until midnight. We were able to:
Ride the People Mover in Tomorrowland
Dinner at Tomorrowland Noodle Bar
Front row seating for the fireworks show, Wishes
The Buzz Lightyear ride (shooting aliens and the evil Emperor Zurg)
Mickey's Philharmagic
The Haunted Mansion (updated and a favorite!)
Pirates of the Caribbean
Monday we treated ourselves to lunch at the next door resort, Port Orleans-French Quarter, where I discovered beignets, just like down south. Yummy!
We spent the day at Animal Kingdom. I mostly shopped while Rob was able to:
Ride the Safari Ride
See a 4D show called It's Tough To Be a Bug
Dinosaur
I got to see a musical with Pochantas and then we both met up for the musical Finding Nemo.
Dinner? OOOO. We had reservations for the California Grill. This is a la-de-da restaurant high atop the Contemporary Resort. From there we watched the fireworks again, Wishes, and then sat down for a lovely meal:)
Tuesday, we were back at it again, this time at Epcot.
Journey into Imagination with Figment (Annie's favorite ride)
Visited England in the World Showcase for Fish and Chips
Visited France for a movie
Back to England for a Beatles concert
The Seas with Nemo
Test Track (Rob's favorite ride, while Annie went shopping)
Dinner was lovely back at the resort, for a restful night.
Wednesday, busy again, back at Magic Kingdom. We were able to watch the live show, Dreams Come True, in front of Cinderella's Castle to start our day. Then, lots of rides!
Peter Pan's Flight
It's a Small World
The Haunted Mansion (told you it was a favorite)
Hall of Presidents
The Adventures of Pooh
Indianapolis Speedway (Rob)
Space Mountain (Rob)
The Laugh Show
The People Mover
Lunch was at Tony's Town Square Restaurant. Disney really treats you right. All we had to say was that Rob had food sensitivities and a personal chef was brought out immediately. That evening was fun at Downtown Disney.
Thursday was our last full day at Disney. We spent the morning on all transportation: a boat to Downtown Disney, a bus to the Grand Floridian, and a monorail to Epcot. At Epcot, we had another fun filled day:
Spaceship Earth
Soarin (Rob)
Lunch in the Land
Journey into Imagination
Mexico, a fun boat ride
Norway, the Maelstrom (another favorite!)
And then the rain rain rain came down down down. So we visited the American Adventure before sloshing back to the room. That night we relaxed, packed our bags and Rob brought in take-away from the resort.
Our last day is always sad, so instead of rushing around to another park, we squeezed in a relaxing boat ride back to Downtown Disney (more shopping) and back to St. Louis. An amazing trip for both Lord and Lady before the Princess's arrival. Next time, she'll get to enjoy it all with us!
Fondly,
The Lord and Lady of the Manor
