Good Morning Blue!!

 

[Beana9802]

I have no idea where his parents were. I'm glad he got it back too. It's just a cheap little keychain thing but he didn't need to steal it. Guess he wasn't betting on DS crying so loud.

punk!

Great update Blue loved the pix of the Flowers !! Soarin is my favorite ride , I tolerate TT!!

Thanks Rosie! I love Soarin' too! TT is F-U-N!!

I'm all caught up, got behind for a week or so.

The carriage ride photos were lovely, what a nice relaxing activity for the family. POR looks like a lovely resort.

Toe Jam lady = NASTY! You have to wonder about some people.

I think that your matching Poly outfits were cute and shame on that CM for making fun under the guise of it being part of the role. Ridiculing guests is definitely not okay!

Glad that the little boy returned the keychain, it was wrong of him to take it but at least he gave it back and felt guilty about taking it.

Yay, glad you're back!
Carriage ride was a great thing to do for family or even just couples.
Toe lady=nasty...yes!
Thanks about the outfits. Yes, I think she is confused about where that line is with the corny jokes vs. insulting people.
Glad he gave it back too.

I loved all your pictures. You really have some nice ones. You are a good photographer.

I can't believe that little boy took the keychain. We mom's just know when a kid is lying. Good job on making him feel guilty enough to put it back.

When we were in Voyage of the Little Mermaid courtney lost one of her favorite pins. It was the first one she ever got. I noticed a little girl in the row behind us showing her mom a pin and I asked her if she just found it on the floor and she said yes. I told her that Courtney just lost it and she gladly gave it back. I think Courtney would have cried too is she didn't get it back.

Oh by the way we had fun at Blue Bayou. They even have a ride part called Dixi Landing. They basically have some kiddie rides like the street fair and a few big rides. I rode a roller coaster that kind of reminded me of Barnstormer and it was fun until the end when it jerked me to the side and I now have a huge bruise on my side. The water park was fun but I hated climbing all of those stairs. The slide was fun but I am too old and out of shape to climb, slide and climb right back up They have a nice wave pool and a lazy river too.

Thank you about the pictures!
Yay, glad you guys had a good time at Blue Bayou! Sounds like a blast, I can't wait to try it out.
I was glad the little boy gave it back and glad to see him have remorse. Not sure where his parents were but someone obviously taught him between right and wrong otherwise he wouldn't have cared at all.

Gorgeous pictures!! Looking forward to Coral Reef!

Thanks! Coral Reef comiing soon...

How horrible about the stealing! Glad you got it back though!!

Me too!

My first thought was, were are his parents? did you at least see them?

Nope. Never did see them.

I'm glad the little boy gave the keychain back.........shows he at least felt some remorse.

It's so fun when your kids ride something new and enjoy it!

Me too.....exactly!
It really is so much fun to experience this stuff with him! He was brave a few times this trip.

Good Morning Blue!!

Morning Rosie

punk!

Just glad he felt bad enough for DS that he gave it back.

 

[englishrose47]

Blue I said Good morning twice oops double post But at least I beat you know who!!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

[stagemomx3]

[Blueyed Girl]

Oh I see.

I will always have my TR here too.

Great update! Gorgeous pictures! I LOVE flower and garden festival! What a stinky little snot nosed brat that boy was!!!!!!!! Hello...............where the heck were his parents Good for you though for staring him down!! Little turd!

 

[Shmu]

Great way for me to spend my morning...catching up on your report.
I Love the Poly. So pretty and peaceful.
Great outfits. I like them.
Boo for the CM who was a jerk.
Too weird coteau_chick had the same one.
Picture of Flat Jordan on BUZZ Lightyear made me laugh out loud.
Beautiful pics of EPCOT and the flowers.
LOVE Turtle video. Saw it in 2006.
Want my kids to see it this year. Even though they are teens they will love seeing the little kids interact.

 

[Sooze]

There was one little boy sitting directly in front of him who kept turning around and looking at him. I asked him if he had seen it since DS kept pointing at him and saying he thought he took it. Plus, he was the only one around us not helping to find it. He just shook his head and turned back around. After another 3-4 minutes.....he turned back around and put it back on the floor in front of DS. When he turned back around to peek and see if I saw him, I was staring right at him. I just simply asked him "did you have it the entire time?" He shook his head no and turned back around. I kept staring at him and he looked back to see if I still was, so I continued "because you know that would be really mean if you did have it the whole time, right??" He hung his head and then knodded and turned around. Little turd!!!

what a little liar! I'm so glad you said something to him.. you weren't mean or nasty.. you said just the right thing! Good for you!

So, everything was better now and the show started. Here is some video I took of the show. DS wasn't feeling brave enough to raise his hand and ask Crush a question, but he still had a wonderful time!

Great video! I would be so embarassed if my DS was so unresponsive to Crush... but I guess that happens when you put little ones on the spot!

After Crush, we headed out but still had a few minutes until our fast pass. We decided to ride Journey into Imagination with Figment. I still think this ride is cute.

I think this is a cute ride too! We love the big air puff at the end!

He kept insisting that he was ready to ride TT. Ok.....3 FASTPASSES!!

Yay for getting older and more brave!

We were seated on the 2nd row in the middle just like in Feb. I really like sitting here. Sure you see dangling feet above you, but when you are on the top row you see the top of the screen and it just doesn't seem as "real" or "magical" to me.

Okay, so you KNOW my favoritest seat is top row, center... and I've never noticed the top of the screen. Now I'm going to have to look at that next time.... You might've just ruined my favorite spot!!!

Next up.......the Flower & Garden Festival pavillion, an ADR at Coral Reef, and we get started on our trip around World Showcase!

I'll be waiting....

Thank you
He was a few years older than DS so he definitely know's better.

Yay!!
Poly was wonderful!
Thanks about the outfits
CM was a "beeeep". Ha!
That IS weird, but just shows that it wasn't our imagination about her being rude!
FJ loved riding BUZZ!
The flowers & topiaries at EPCOT were great. They had so many neat little setups everywhere. I'd love to go again.
Crush was great! I'm glad we finally got to see it. Only took us 2 years.

what a little liar! I'm so glad you said something to him.. you weren't mean or nasty.. you said just the right thing! Good for you!

I'll be waiting....

Thank you. I tried to handle it the best I could while sitting in the middle of a bunch of other kids who were ALL staring at us. The others were sweet, though and tried to help him find it.

Ha! Everyone in the room was straining for that kid to come out with an answer for each question. It was funny.

That air puff scares me every time! It's worse on the back row.

I can't believe how brave he was this time. He surprised us a FEW times!

Sorry about that! I like to look around when I'm riding. When we were on the front/top row we were on the left, so maybe in the middle you wouldn't be able to see it due to that overhang thing.

 

[Blueyed Girl]

When I left off we were leaving Test Track. We headed over toward Ellen's Energy Adventure. DS really loves dinosaurs and I though this would be a much tamer experience than actually riding dinosaur itself. When we left our home, he wanted to ride this. When we got to the line, he did not! I guess it was a brave day for speed and not for dinosaur's . I snapped this picture and we left.

We then walked over to the Flower & Garden Festival pavillion. It was a nice air conditioned break from the heat outside! Here are pictures from our walk through......

Baby pineapples...

After this we headed back to POR so that DS could have his nap. We returned in time for our ADR's at Coral Reef....
For drinks, DH had a beer and I got an Octopus Juice. I have been waiting for another one of these since February. IT WAS GOOD!!!

Yes, I shared with FJ....

Here's the menu a little blurry. I ordered the Grilled Mahi Mahi with Tropical Essence, and DH ordered the Seafood Linguini. Both were very tasty.

Pics of the scenery. As you can see, we did NOT get as good of a table as last time which is sort of understandable since last time was an anniversary dinner and we got the diver, etc....but the place was EMPTY!

Next up....Flat Jordan takes on WORLD SHOWCASE!!

 

[Nicole786]

Great Coral Reef pics!! You sat better than where I sat which was third row allll the way in the right corner.....oh well, i still love Coral Reef and plan to be back there in 2 months!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Now you've made me want to go to the Flower and Garden Festival! Those flowers are gorgeous!!!

That Octopus Juice looks quite tasty. What's in it?

 

[jcc0621]

Loved the pictures of the FLower & Garden Festival, was that the WOnders of Life pavilion (R.I.P). Good move with the nap taking for DS. We always do this and find that our days are much more pleasant!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I'm really enjoying all your pictures of the Flower and Garden festival.

Too bad they didn't sit you next to the tank but it looks like you still had a nice view.

 

[coteau_chick]

I loved the baby pineapples. They are so cute. Too bad about the ride, sometimes kids just get scared and change their mind. Brennan used to do that all the time and now he doesn't.

 

[winkers]

I wonder why they didn't seat you closer since it was so empty?

You didn't miss anything not going on Ellen's universe of energy....it's ok, but mostly usefull for a 30 minute nap!
