Awww well I'm sorry to hear he brought you down as soon as you got there but omg your day at MK looks amazing!!!!! I'm so jealous. I think we only got to do 3 rides when we were there all dang day! So glad things are going well so far into the trip. Sounds like Aria is a perfect Disney baby and just behaved so well on this trip!
I really love the picture of the two of you walking towards the castle. That's definitely a framer!
HAHAHA so I guess I shouldn't have been too upset with our pace then!
It wasn't THAT bad, but I just felt like we were doing a lot of running around, especially during the 40 minutes or so of naptime she took. And during that time I rode Space mountain, waited for Andrew to ride, ran across the park to get rider swap, and then she woke up and went to the BCC to feed her, so it was about an hour I really didn't get to do anything except walk around.
Aria really WAS great. I am nervous for when she gets older after reading about these 2 year olds' trips!!
Isn't that cute! Of course, Aria's not actually walking yet, but standing up
So I'm trying to get caught up on TRs while Paxton is napping and Dustin is out getting his birthday cake for tomorrow night when I read your updates and realize, Hey I guessed Aria's first ride!!!
The pics look great, it looks like you were having a great time. I totally get it about realizing how much you are NOT getting done with a little one. I have felt that way before now that we are taking DS, yet we always manage to do everything or most everything we set out to do. Where on previous trips, we would do our favorites multiple times over the trip, we have learned now that even if we only get to do it once, that's a success!!
I'm glad Aria was such a good traveler for you. We are learning so far this week that a trip with a 1 year old is VASTLY different from a trip with a 2 year old!!!!
Aw thanks for stopping by while on vacation! I need to get caught up too! Hopefully today! But I need to get some actual work done first. I hope the birthday cake is DELICIOUS! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAXTON!! Hope it's an amazing day and taco night is fun!
Yep, that is so true! We eventually do get done the things we wanted to do, but just about once a piece (such as Jungle Cruise). It's crazy - we were there for 10 nights, and that is seriously not enough time! Ugh!
Your foreshadowing is freaking me out!
I hope you're still having an amazing time!
Oh Kristy....now I'm nervous for December
HAHA me too
Yay our birthdays! LOL Sorry I missed you at CP. I kept an eye out for you but obviously you weren't on our side of the restaurant!
I think I was in line for SM while you were going through it on TTA! So funny. We waited for about 15-20 minutes for it to come back up. I felt bad for the people stuck in the carts!
Looking forward to reading more
LOL! That is so funny! I looked out for you around the park too. So sad knowing we were there and never met up! Boo!
He is MOSTLY great, but he is getting upset over the most ridiculous things!! We have had a lot of dropping to the ground in protest but luckily no screaming meltdowns yet. This afternoon nap is a MUST this time!!!
Hhaaha oh boy, what I have to look forward to!
oh gosh....Alex is really good at the throw yourself on the ground melt downs or relaxing his arms so much when we pick him up that it's almost impossible to pick him up. He normally only does that when we are at home though. Hopefully it will stay that way. Bummer on that afternoon nap. At least he isn't sick! IDK what a normal trip with a kid is like yet so as long as A isn't sick I think that will be much easier than what we had last time. I can handle melt downs LOL
LOL! It is so funny being about a year behind you girls. I really really hope Alex (and you two too!) are totally sickness free!! You need to be super careful the couple weeks before your trip! LOL!
When I go down in December, I will try and knock out all the rides I want to do, so we will be going nice and slow for the boys on our December trip. Your breast feeding schedule turned out great, I mean I wish Jordan will feed only four times, we are down to six to eight BF's a day. I am worried about the humidity for September but no cranky baby yet, she looks so precious and busy taking everything in.....
What was funny was that I didn't even really care about riding the big rides, I was more excited about going on as much as I could with Aria, but her needing to nap and such pretty soon after we got into the parks made that a little difficult. And it didn't help that all Andrew wanted to do WAS ride the bigger rides, which was pretty annoying. I bet you'll knock one of those nursing times off. There is SO much for them to look at and enjoy that being hungry rarely crossed her mind. Also, we added in lunch for her (about 3 oz of veggies or veg/fruit mix and puffs) which helped, AND increased her breakfast from 1 oz fruit to 3, and dinner from 2 oz to 3-4 plus puffs. She has been able to stick to that schedule happily since returning home, and I love that she has finally dropped that 3rd nap in the late afternoon, since when we pick her up from daycare she is awake the rest of the afternoon/evening until bedtime whereas before we had to put her down for a nap immediately.
What a wonderful first morning! I know that you were disappointed about the change in EMH, but you still managed to get some GREAT shots on a nearly empty main street and that is awesome!
I love the photos of Aria with the characters, babies and characters are so sweet!
Pirates! What an excellent first ride choice! That was Everett's first ride as well, maybe we'll do the same for (still-nameless) new baby.
I totally understand what you mean about not feeling productive when touring with a little one. I think that has taken the most getting use to. I swear I could take a three week vacation with DS, and still not get as much done as I used to do on a solo weekend!
Awesome that you were able to get some pool time in, looks like everyone had fun!
HI! I can't wait to read more from your TR! Yeah that first CM was annoying but luckily I tried my luck with the 2nd one and he let us in. I was so happy to get some great shots! This was probably our "worst" character interaction, because from here they just get better and better!
OOH I didn't realize that about Everett's first ride. I know I lurked on your earlier TR's but forgot that! How awesome! What did he think?
Yep, ditto on the 3 week vacation! I mean, we did a lot of different things, like the character meets, but rarely fit in shopping or many of the rides and such.
Pool time was wonderful! So happy we snuck that time in there! It was very refreshing. The pool itself wasn't amazing (I like the BC pool and AK pool much better) but it was still nice and water temp was MUCH better than our condos...
