Great trip report Tubbsy (sorry I didn't post in here more regularly, although I checked here daily I forgot to post giving my views :P )

Glad to hear you had a great time, and as davewasbaloo said the story about stitch is what makes Disney great, true magic.

Thank you :D I felt a bit embarrassed at Rob being chosen twice but as Nicholaas was struggling with shy ones I guess it was a good and LOUD option :D
I must say thank-you to you guys for all the advice and tips because it all certainly helped to make our holiday more magical :D

Hi Sam, wow read your trip report and I am SO glad everything worked out for you and your family!!
The room decorations - WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!! I bet steph and rob loved it! did they have any clue??
Steph's cake looked yummy too mmmmm nom nom :D
I wouldn't be embrassed about Rob being chosen twice - it's things like that which make the holiday!!! Especially good as he loves Stitch too :D
The food at Walts and the view of the parade - wicked!!!
I totally agree with what you said about the smoking. Smoke really gets to me and I had a couple smoking in the queue for Peter Pan infront of me. I ended up coughing so much it made my eyes water and made it look like I was crying!! luckily the man behind me pointed to me and said something in French to them and they stopped.

thanks for sharing such lush piccies!!

Hi and thanks for a wonderful report - I just read through the last 3 updates and had loads of comments during the reading, but now most of them have gone away in my forgetting mind :lol:

Well, great photos - both Rob and Steph look like they are enjoying everything a lot.

I'm happy to read that Rob had some amazing experiences with Stitch - especially with the sad discovery in Playhouse, but say to him that there is nothing to be ashamed of. I'm 20 and I love visiting "childish" places around Disneyland, so no reason to be ashamed by visiting Playhouse Disney :mrgreen:

I am also happy to hear about your parade experiences - I always cheer up when I see how people with various disabilities are treated by the CMs, so I am glad to hear about an actual experience with this :)

I have to agree with you regarding the smoking - it was crazy when I was there in July too, people were smoking the queues (BTM, SM, PotC, etc.) and during the parade. At times I felt like taking their stupid cigarette and crush it...  ;)

GREAT report!

Thanks :D  I am glad I am not the only one who felt the smoking was ridiculous. I understand people have the right to smoke but it was so bad at times. Mark said mbe we should find a smell they dont like and squirt it at them and see how they like it! :P
I cant believe how well the CMs treated Rob. I sent an email to DLP-dont know if I'll get a response, but I hope I do-thanking them and commenting on all the CMs but especially Bram in the disability section, Nicholas at Stitch Live and the girls who helpeed when Rob got stung, I'll let you know if I get a response.

Thank you for taking the time to write to them Sam. I think it is really important we let Disney know when we are really happy and why, and when we are unhappy and why.
since 2001 (many before that)

i love main st

i also get very cross with the smokers its just so so rube the park is mostly full of kids and if they are walking they some times get so close to it.  i make sure i moan very loudly not like they care tho!

Thanks for a wonderful trip report.And I^m so glad you all had a wonderful time.I think Rob looks like a happy little guy, even with the hand picked by that wasp.
The birthday surprises looked just great, wish I could have that :D
Stitch is an all time favorite for us too,last year we went in there about 5 times, and we all were picked at least once, Lara is still talking about it(she sat in front, my husband was the space prisoner and I was Stitchs friend for ever). That made our day¨!

I'm still sorting through all our photos, and keep getting a big smile on my face :D-Hope it keeps us going for a while with Mark being away for such a long time but we will be going back :D

JackieAnn-Bless your little one-it wont be long before shes back in the magic :)

 Stitch is a fantastic show-it'll certainly be top on our list for next time, whether we get picked or not :D

Havent had a reply to the email yet, but I will let you know if I do x

Tubbsy, your report really was inspired. Such a great read, and made me want to join your family!!! All the details that went into it to make it extra special were delightful. You must still be on a high.

Great report tubbsy,thanks for sharing!

To me your room sounds amazing, I am curious: corner rooms often have to have a bit different layout than the "regular" rooms, besides from the great view was there anything special about it that you did notice (i.e. was it a bit larger, had two windows instead of one etc.)? Do you have more pics of the room by any chance? :)

I dont think the room was any bigger-but the view was amazing! :D

Balcony doors

side windows

My dodgy photo of me trying to get both sets!

The view pout of the side windows
Still havent heard from Disney. Sham really but hopefully I 'll hear something next week
