That is one looooong monorail ride!
It's like a new ride!
You should have yelled and screamed at her and told her she ruined the vacation that you spent a lot of money on.
At least that seems to be the response I typically see.
Crap! You're right! That's what all the really good parents seem to do at WDW.
That was quick. You must've been one of the first in line?
Pretty close. We were probably 10th in line. Rapunzel didn't have much to say to the kids that morning.
It's odd isn't it that on the one hand, I'm glad my DDs have outgrown any desire to do Princess M&Gs... and on the other hand, I'm sad that my DDs have outgrown any desire to do Princess M&Gs.
I think I'll feel the same way. While I'd love to get more rides in, I do love watching Maddie meet the characters she loves so much. It'll be sad when she just wants to ride Space Mt. over and over.
Buzz is in the other direction...
I knew we should have stopped for a map!
Very nice shot of the two of you.
Thanks Ponz!
<sigh> I don't blame the 10yr old for this one... at and around that age, they start to question things and are pretty conflicted with trying to make sense of what they hear from different sources and what they see. She may have thought she was 'helping' Maddie, or perhaps assumed that Maddie was as 'knowledgeable' as she was. It's up to the parents though to tell them not to ruin it for the other kids who still believe.
That's a good point. I suppose I could find myself on the other side of that some day. I do really blame the parent-he not only should have prepped her, he also should have jumped in. To the kids credit, she was very sweet and didn't say another word about it once she heard me tell Maddie that they were real.
I remember when my youngest came home upset because someone at school had told her that Santa Claus was really her parents. "That's crazy!" I replied. "How could I possibly deliver all those presents to all the kids in the World???"
She accepted that.
Excellent! My mom said something similar. She added that she wasn't handy enough to make all the toys either.
Right there is why I love Disney.
AMAZING.
Well... yeah. When I want popcorn, I want it
now. I completely understand.
I feel his pain, I truly do.
I knew you'd understand!
It's a child's prerogative to change her mind when it comes to snack food. Especially where pretzels and popcorn are involved. When she's older and wiser, she will of course learn that the correct answer for this dilemma is "both".
She has a lot to learn.
You had DUCK FOR DINNER?!?!?!?
Love that shot.
That there is one happy kidlet!
Thank you! She sure is.
Words I dreaded hearing. Ponzis and teacups do not go well together.
Must.
Stop.

Her dad feels the same way. He refuses to ride "throw up rides". I take one for the team.
You just never know what will an impression.
She now ADORES the White Rabbit. He made her so happy.
Who says you have to go on rides to have fun at MK? There's plenty to see and do... the rides are a perk.
Thanks for the chapter(s) Shanapop
