I DON'T Walk. A kids rule May 2015 TR *Completed 2/13*

[NJlauren]

Honestly why are some people so rude! I just don't get it?!?! I'm glad it didn't ruin the experience and the meet and greet was still top notch!

I'm looking forward to hearing about H&V, but am sad the Disney junior show was such a bust, not the first time I have heard that but I guess I've just been hoping to hear something positive about it in one of the TRs!

 

[rteetz]

That is so weird what that woman said. I understood your joke and my mom used to say that as well. Looks like the meet and greet was still very good. I never had that chance to meet baymax before he left.

 

[Gracefulskinny]

I jokingly said they could have one and the wife went on this huge tangent about how their kids were grown and she was SO happy to be childless, and how laughable that she would ever deal with kids again. I mean geez lady tell me how you really feel.

Odd.

Those friends that kept coming up to them in line? Yeah, now they joined them. I didn’t think it would be a big deal but I was wrong. That group of 5 people turned into three separate meet and greet groups.

How Rude!

But I’ll be darned if I just waited an hour for no one to enjoy it so I played along with Hiro.

You go girl!

as soon as Connor sees Baymax he pops out from behind Joe and Hiro says oh! There another one!”

Baymax was really more lackluster just standing there like a blob.

Yeah I kinda got that vibe when I was looking into whether we wanted to do the meet or not. Glad to hear I was right.

I really wanted this I am kicking myself for not pulling the trigger and buying it.

Oh gosh I was the same way!!

Why do they make the two things that are geared toward their youngest guests so freaking unpleasant for the adults.

I'm just relieved that Little Miss doesn't seem to be a big fan of either of these things.

 

[hokieinpa]

Love the meet with Hiro and Baymax! I'm so sad that we missed them! Hiro sounds like he was so much fun. Baymax is cute but it must be hard to be super interactive and be so squishy!

I'm sorry about the all around rude family in front of you - that makes waiting even more unpleasant...especially when you are solo with 3 boys!

With our treats in hand we got in line for Disney Jr. Live on Stage. I have to say Live on Stage because if I talk about this show and say Disney Junior Connor always says, I think you mean Disney Junior Live on Stage. This kid I swear.

This cracked me up because we have those same kind of conversations. Nate's favorite expression is "Actually, Mommy..." since it seems like he is always correcting me.

The boys loved that show too. It's very cute and perfect for kids. But would it have killed them to make the ground a little softer?

I'm sorry Connor didn't enjoy TOT but I'm happy it was a good ride for you! Nate and Colin will be tall enough for our trip in November so we're going to give it a shot!

I'm glad everyone got some much needed rest that afternoon!

 

[sara1215]

You are a super mom taking those kids to Disney! I love reading trip reports of families with little kids. Gives me a good idea of what I can actually expect when we go with our kids.

 

[afwdwfan]

I jokingly said they could have one and the wife went on this huge tangent about how their kids were grown and she was SO happy to be childless, and how laughable that she would ever deal with kids again.

Um... wow. Ever heard of a sense of humor, lady?

They had us waiting outside of the actual queue and by 10 they let us in the queue. I told Connor he had to come with us because I won’t be able to see him from in there. Apparently, he left his sticker book on the table and he threw a fit wanting to get it back. Now Connor never throws a fit about things and if he cries you know he is just tired. I was starting to get really stressed out. Nicholas wouldn’t nap and now Connor was crying and I was by myself. Thankfully, Joe showed up shortly after. I wanted to take pictures with the props in the queue but Connor was still mad, luckily James was up for it.

Oh no... brutal. Beats waiting 2+ hours, but sorry the boys weren't exactly cooperative.

Yeah, now they joined them. I didn’t think it would be a big deal but I was wrong. That group of 5 people turned into three separate meet and greet groups. So, I had waited there was my three young kids for an hour and 1 adult and two preteens not only couldn’t do the wait but then felt it was necessary to have there own private meet.

Really? I hate this. I could see joining and meeting as one group... not too big of a deal. But joining them in line and then splitting everyone up for different meets... that's just rude and disrespectful.

This meet was by far one of my favorites of all time and I am so glad we waited for it.

I'm glad it was worth it all!

He was also telling Joe about the new movie Disney channel presents The Descendants.

That kid pays attention to everything on Disney channel!

Why do they make the two things that are geared toward their youngest guests so freaking unpleasant for the adults.

Because we're going to do them anyway and still rave about it...

Honestly, as much as I hate this show, I would go a million times because it makes them so happy and after all isn’t that why I plan these trips in the first place. Okay, its like 1% for my enjoyment too.

This statement... so true and accurate in so many ways.

I was thinking that it had been so long since I had ridden and maybe it wouldn’t live up to what I remembered but nope it was amazing! The sequence we had was so good and it just kept going and going. Connor said it was scary and he did not want to do it again.

I'm glad you got to enjoy ToT and RnRC to make up for the wait to see Baymax and sitting through the Disney Jr show. Too bad Connor didn't care much for ToT.

 

[cindianne320]

Joining in! I'm interested to see how you did it with 3! We are braving it with our 3 and no extra helpers in March, and you have already given me some things to think about! (Our baby will be brand new 1 at the time- our oldest 6.5 and our DD 3.5)

 

[Dugette]

Wow, what was up with that lady/couple/group in line for Baymax?! Geez.

Glad that you had a good meet with Hiro and Baymax, though. Looks like fun. We never even attempted that one, hearing about the crazy lines and all.

I kind-of enjoyed the Disney Junior (Live on Stage) show, as I actually was all too familiar with the characters and stuff. But for the life of me, I can't understand why they didn't end it with the Hot Dog Dance?!

 

[ashw100]

That is so weird what that woman said. I understood your joke and my mom used to say that as well. Looks like the meet and greet was still very good. I never had that chance to meet baymax before he left.

Yeah, it was weird to say the least. It was a fun meet, I'm really glad we did it.

Odd.

Yeah, I just held my tongue and trie to ignore them after that.

How Rude!

I know right? Sometimes I really wish I was more outspoken because if I was I would have said something to the CMs.

Oh gosh I was the same way!!

At least the new shopping app will minimize this feeling.

I'm just relieved that Little Miss doesn't seem to be a big fan of either of these things.

You're lucky because these things are on our must do's for the foreseeable future.

Love the meet with Hiro and Baymax! I'm so sad that we missed them! Hiro sounds like he was so much fun. Baymax is cute but it must be hard to be super interactive and be so squishy!

You're right it probably was hard for the CM playing Baymax but he was so darn cute. I wish I would have given him a hug.

I'm sorry about the all around rude family in front of you - that makes waiting even more unpleasant...especially when you are solo with 3 boys!

Yeah, if the wait wasn;t bad enough then these rude people made it longer

This cracked me up because we have those same kind of conversations. Nate's favorite expression is "Actually, Mommy..." since it seems like he is always correcting me.

Nate's your oldest right? I think being the oldest this comes with the territory, I was the same way. Its cute but sometimes frustrating.

The boys loved that show too. It's very cute and perfect for kids. But would it have killed them to make the ground a little softer?

I know, my butt was hurting before the show even started.

I'm sorry Connor didn't enjoy TOT but I'm happy it was a good ride for you! Nate and Colin will be tall enough for our trip in November so we're going to give it a shot!

Connor love on our first trip but this time I guess it was too scary

You are a super mom taking those kids to Disney! I love reading trip reports of families with little kids. Gives me a good idea of what I can actually expect when we go with our kids.

Thanks, it was such a difficult trip but ultimately I wouldn't have changed anything because of the memories we made and that is really all you can expect when going with little kids

Joining in! I'm interested to see how you did it with 3! We are braving it with our 3 and no extra helpers in March, and you have already given me some things to think about! (Our baby will be brand new 1 at the time- our oldest 6.5 and our DD 3.5)

I hope that there are something in my report that will help. Going with no helpers is hard but I also liked it just being us as a family.

Wow, what was up with that lady/couple/group in line for Baymax?! Geez.

I think the emoji says it all

Glad that you had a good meet with Hiro and Baymax, though. Looks like fun. We never even attempted that one, hearing about the crazy lines and all.

It wasn't too bad all things considered and definitely worth it for us.

I kind-of enjoyed the Disney Junior (Live on Stage) show, as I actually was all too familiar with the characters and stuff. But for the life of me, I can't understand why they didn't end it with the Hot Dog Dance?!

That's a great idea, I do love the hot dog dance

 

[hokieinpa]

Nate's your oldest right? I think being the oldest this comes with the territory, I was the same way. Its cute but sometimes frustrating.

Yes, Nate is the oldest so it must be something with being the biggest kid on the totem pole! He is such a know it all and even more so now that he's starting Kindergarten!

 

[ashw100]

Yes, Nate is the oldest so it must be something with being the biggest kid on the totem pole! He is such a know it all and even more so now that he's starting Kindergarten!

Ah yes, Connor said the other day, about something that he didn't do that anymore, because he was a Kindergartner

 

[ashw100]

Hi, I hope you will all indulge me in a little chatter for a moment. Connor had his first day of school last week . It has taken me a little bit to get used to the new quiet in my house, if you can call a three year old and a one year running around quiet . Here is a picture from his first day.

​

I have also tried to post this last part of the day three times now but photobucket is being SOOOO Slow so I have given up. Thanks to Connor bringing home his first cold of the year, I can't sleep and can finally get this up.

May 11 Part 3
Where is that Mickey bag???

After our much needed nap, we went back to DHS for the Frozen sing a long. I think we might have had a FP for this but we didn’t need it.

James insisted on laying on the floor before the show





​

I wasn’t sure I would enjoy this show and I definitely didn’t think Joe would, he has never seen Frozen, but it was really funny. The royal historians make the whole thing.

​

They had a lot of Star Wars references in there which was getting us pumped for SWW and the boys loved singing along to the songs. Definitely glad we stopped by to do this one. The plans for the rest of the evening were pretty fluid. I wanted to eat dinner at the food booths in Epcot and see Illuminations so my goal was to be there by 6:30. We had time and a riderswap from RNR so Joe decided to ride again. On the way, we had a few pit stops. First, the very important Singing in the Rain umbrella. My grandparent' fist date was to see this movie and it hold a very dear place in my heart. My grandpa is no longer with us but I get a picture here to show my grandma .

​

We also passed the carriage from the live action Cinderella. The line was super long to hold the slipper and pose with the carriage so I just got this.

​

We stopped at the little Star Wars store across from Studio Catering Co. and the boys were memorized by the array of shooters there. Given our plans for Friday, we let each pick one out, Connor got Boba Fett and James got a stormtropper one. James also made his very first pressed penny.

​

After we made our purchase, Joe proceeds to tell them they can’t have them until we get back to the hotel. Needless to say I thought that was mean so they got their shooters.



With the sun going down this wait for RNR was much more pleasant than the one earlier and the boys were having fun with their new toys.

​

Connor started talking to this boy maybe around 15. He started talking to me and he was such a sweet kid. He apologized to me for not being able to speak English very well and I was shocked. He spoke very well and I made sure to tell me. I asked him where he was from and you’ll never guess it...Brazil. They get a bad rap but he reminded me that I can’t judge a group of people based on a few bad eggs. I don’t remember exactly but we had been waiting a long time at this point and the line outside of RNR looked like this.

​

Joe texted and said the ride was shut down And they were being escorted out. He was excited because he got to go backstage.

​

They gave him an anytime FP good for anything except TSMM. With that, we headed out of the park but not before we got some PP pictures.

​

We made our way out of the park for another picture. James was having none of that and I helped him cover his face this time

​

The plan was to take the boat over to Epcot so we got in the very long line. As we were waiting I realized we did not have the Mickey bag again. I won’t get into the boring details but this time it actually was my fault. Not wanting to walk all the way to the van and come back we decided to scrap our evening plans. Two full days in and I could see the boys were getting worn out and this is when we really began to see that the boys would be ruling this trip .

​

We still needed dinner so we decided to head to Downtown Disney to eat. Our plan had been to not drive but it seemed silly to drive back to CBR just to hop on a bus. We must have gotten really lucky because driving and finding parking was much easier than anticipated. We had to park in the casting building parking lot, I believe and then walk over to the Marketplace. Our first stop was Wolfgang Puck Express. I love this place and if you are using the dining plan it is an excellent use of a credit. The line was out the door but seemed to move quickly. Joe got the chicken salad sandwich, I got a margherita pizza, and I think the boys shared a cheese pizza. We sat down is a huge corner booth in the main dining room. The wait for the food seemed to stretch on and Nicholas was getting antsy, once again I had to whip out the Mickey Mouse and he was happy.

​

The boys were having a blast with Joe, they were retelling the story of Anna and Elsa just like the royal historians. We had a really great server who kept our drinks filled until dinner came.

​

Dinner was delicious as usual and the best part was getting my dessert. My favorite dessert is crème brulee and how often can you get that at a counter service restaurant.

​

After pit stops in the restroom Connor and I went into the Christmas store to look for our Christmas ornament. I found one that was for CBR in the shape of a Mickey head and decided to get out of there because I thought I could hear Nicholas screaming outside (spoiler it was). As soon as I picked him up though he was fine. This whole mommy needs to hold me thing was getting old. We walked over to Once Upon a Toy so the boys could do their build-a-droid. I also noticed that the new Big Hero 6 tsum tsum were being stocked so, I snapped those up as well. The boys had so much fun building their droids and it was a fairly good price but they are tiny. We also picked up a Jedi Mickey plush and some hologram building thing for Joe. Having thoroughly blown our souvenir budget (not really) we headed to what is probably my favorite store, the World of Disney. I was on the hunt for a mug that I could use and fondly remember our trip. I picked up one that has Mickey on it that says morning are rough and Mickey looks VERY tired. I love it but Connor said it scares him. James noticed the goofy head hat and I let him try it on knowing he would rip it off right away.

​

He actually loved it and insisted that he must have it, now this kid doesn’t wear hats so I figured if it helps protect him from the sun and he loves it why not. Connor of course needed a hat and ended up with a adult grumpy one. I first tried to give him a Jack Skellington one since he is obsessed with Nightmare Before Christmas. It was big and Connor refused but when he saw the Grumpy one WHICH WAS THE SAME SIZE, he thought it was fine. You will understand me yelling about nonsense fits over too big hats when we get to our next MK day .

After our shopping spree I was feeling like a coffee so I went to the new walk up Starbucks. I have never seen this type of layout and I thought it was pretty cool.

​

There was a dj playing and everyone was having a good time. When I came back James was dancing up a storm to the music. He is usually pretty shy so I was surprised to find him letting loose. Even though we were having fun, I knew we had to get everyone to bed if we wanted to have a good day the next day. As per our new usual, I put Nicholas down to walk back to the car and he screamed the whole way. We went straight to bed and everyone was out by 10 that night.

Next Post​

 

[NJlauren]

I hope Connor had a great first week! Even if he did bring home a cold !

Over all the day sounds pretty good, sometimes plans change never ideal but hey that's what kids are for right? What no that's not here purpose in life? I have this parenting thing all wrong! Haha

I like that you bought souvenirs on day 2, I feel like every time I read about people waiting till the end (and this happens to my family a few times too). You spend the last day searching for the item you skipped on day 2 because you didn't know if it was what you should get, or you didn't want to spend the money yet etc.

 

[afwdwfan]

James insisted on laying on the floor before the show

Um... well, whatever makes him happy, I guess.

I wasn’t sure I would enjoy this show and I definitely didn’t think Joe would, he has never seen Frozen, but it was really funny. The royal historians make the whole thing.

I agree. It really isn't a bad show. The Historians definitely make or break it though.

First, the very important Singing in the Rain umbrella. My grandparent' fist date was to see this movie and it hold a very dear place in my heart. My grandpa is no longer with us but I get a picture here to show my grandma .

Cool story! I'm glad you were able to get a picture for her there.

After we made our purchase, Joe proceeds to tell them they can’t have them until we get back to the hotel. Needless to say I thought that was mean so they got their shooters.



With the sun going down this wait for RNR was much more pleasant than the one earlier and the boys were having fun with their new toys.

Ok, I see Joe's point. But then again, you're waiting with the boys while he rides, so anything to make them content.

Connor started talking to this boy maybe around 15. He started talking to me and he was such a sweet kid. He apologized to me for not being able to speak English very well and I was shocked. He spoke very well and I made sure to tell me. I asked him where he was from and you’ll never guess it...Brazil. They get a bad rap but he reminded me that I can’t judge a group of people based on a few bad eggs.

Good point. Although there weren't 20 15 year old Brazilian boys talking to you either. I think teenagers of any nationality are a pain in the rear when you have them moving in herds.

I won’t get into the boring details but this time it actually was my fault. Not wanting to walk all the way to the van and come back we decided to scrap our evening plans. Two full days in and I could see the boys were getting worn out and this is when we really began to see that the boys would be ruling this trip .

Uh oh. Sorry the evening plans didn't work out. But like you said, WPE is a good value and good food. Not a bad alternative.

He actually loved it and insisted that he must have it, now this kid doesn’t wear hats so I figured if it helps protect him from the sun and he loves it why not. Connor of course needed a hat and ended up with a adult grumpy one. I first tried to give him a Jack Skellington one since he is obsessed with Nightmare Before Christmas. It was big and Connor refused but when he saw the Grumpy one WHICH WAS THE SAME SIZE, he thought it was fine. You will understand me yelling about nonsense fits over too big hats when we get to our next MK day .

This doesn't sound good...

But I do like that Goofy hat!

As per our new usual, I put Nicholas down to walk back to the car and he screamed the whole way. We went straight to bed and everyone was out by 10 that night.

Oh no. At least you got to bed at a decent time. Sorry Nicholas is definitely being mama's boy on this trip.

 

[rteetz]

We started school yesterday.

Looks like another great day. I like to buy my souvenirs and stuff throughout my trip because I never know if I'll see it again especially if I'm not going to that park again. It is nice that they created the shop Disney parks app just in case you forget something on your trip.

 

[Gracefulskinny]

Wonderful update!

 

[Dugette]

Connor had his first day of school last week .

Wow, big boy! Hope it is going well so far!

My grandparent' fist date was to see this movie and it hold a very dear place in my heart. My grandpa is no longer with us but I get a picture here to show my grandma .

That's really sweet!

Joe texted and said the ride was shut down And they were being escorted out. He was excited because he got to go backstage.

What a bummer. But nice they gave him that FP for anything.

Not wanting to walk all the way to the van and come back we decided to scrap our evening plans. Two full days in and I could see the boys were getting worn out and this is when we really began to see that the boys would be ruling this trip .

Ugh, I'm sorry you had to cancel your plans for the evening. Glad you still had a good time at Downtown Disney, though.

This whole mommy needs to hold me thing was getting old.

I've been there, that's so difficult.

You will understand me yelling about nonsense fits over too big hats when we get to our next MK day .

Uh oh!

 

[hokieinpa]

I'm glad you enjoyed the Frozen Sing Along! We had a FP+ for it in October but missed our window. I've heard it's a really fun show!

Love the new Star Wars blasters the boys got - those would be a huge hit in this house too!

I'm sorry you had to change up your evening plans, but we've totally been there. It's hard when everyone has reached a point of exhaustion. It sounds like a relaxing evening and yummy dinner at DTD. And lots of fun souvenirs!

 

[ashw100]

I hope Connor had a great first week! Even if he did bring home a cold !

Thanks, he is loving it so far.

Over all the day sounds pretty good, sometimes plans change never ideal but hey that's what kids are for right? What no that's not here purpose in life? I have this parenting thing all wrong! Haha

Being type A changing plans on the fly has been hard for me but it is especially difficult when you plan something one way for 6+ months and then need to change Oh well this is the life of a parent

I like that you bought souvenirs on day 2, I feel like every time I read about people waiting till the end (and this happens to my family a few times too). You spend the last day searching for the item you skipped on day 2 because you didn't know if it was what you should get, or you didn't want to spend the money yet etc.

Yeah, we just buy when we see it. If they go through their money then their done. It allows them to enjoy them while they are there.

Um... well, whatever makes him happy, I guess.

I agree. It really isn't a bad show. The Historians definitely make or break it though.

Yes, I agree, otherwise its pretty much just the songs which I have already so I don't need to hear them there. The historians were worth it.

Cool story! I'm glad you were able to get a picture for her there.

Thanks

Ok, I see Joe's point. But then again, you're waiting with the boys while he rides, so anything to make them content.

Yeah, he was going to go off and ride which turned out to be a loooong wait and leave me with crying kids.

This doesn't sound good...

It's not

But I do like that Goofy hat!

He's too stinking cute in it

Oh no. At least you got to bed at a decent time. Sorry Nicholas is definitely being mama's boy on this trip.

Ha, turned out to be a permanent thing, the boy doesn't leave my side all day now and throws a fit if I walk out of the room without him

Looks like another great day. I like to buy my souvenirs and stuff throughout my trip because I never know if I'll see it again especially if I'm not going to that park again. It is nice that they created the shop Disney parks app just in case you forget something on your trip.

Totally agree. I don't want to not be able to get something but the app is dangerous. I spend way too much time window shopping on there

Wonderful update!

Thanks

Wow, big boy! Hope it is going well so far!

Thanks, so far so good

That's really sweet!

Thanks

What a bummer. But nice they gave him that FP for anything.

Yeah, I don't even remember if we got to use it

Ugh, I'm sorry you had to cancel your plans for the evening. Glad you still had a good time at Downtown Disney, though.

We probably had more fun than we would have dragging the kids around the World showcase so I think it all worked out.

I've been there, that's so difficult.

It is and so tiring

Uh oh!

Part of me looks back on the incident and laughs and then the other part of me is still pretty peeved about it.

I'm glad you enjoyed the Frozen Sing Along! We had a FP+ for it in October but missed our window. I've heard it's a really fun show!

You'll have to try and see it when you go back it was good.

Love the new Star Wars blasters the boys got - those would be a huge hit in this house too!

OMG be warned it gets old fast. There favorite game is "Star Wars" and it is a lot of blasters and light saber swinging

I'm sorry you had to change up your evening plans, but we've totally been there. It's hard when everyone has reached a point of exhaustion. It sounds like a relaxing evening and yummy dinner at DTD. And lots of fun souvenirs!

Definitely, if there is anything I learned from this trip, it was that they needed more down time than I anticipated.

 

[ashw100]

You may have noticed I have two new countdowns in my signature . Joe and I have been contemplating going back for SWW again. We fell in love with the event when we went as did the boys. We have officially decided that we are going. We don't have specifics yet because I am waiting for the seventh month mark to try and do DVC this time. If anybody has any tips about this I would appreciate it. We will be going back the same week as this trip so it will be another Mother's Day at Disney World . We are also trying to convince my parents to come along for part of the time to make things easier too. Once things get more firm I will start a PTR . The second countdown is for an adult's only anniversary trip. This is all but final we just need to wait until it gets closer to firm up babysitting plans. This means I get to be an AP holder next year too. I am on and I figured I could share my excitement with you. Now back to the TR.

Day 4-May 12, Part 1
Don't Float Away
This night I had a terrible time sleeping. I guess I was so used to getting so little sleep by this point. I woke up at 12:30, 2:30, and finally got up for good at 3:00. I updated my trip journal and relaxed until 5. I got myself ready and drove over to OPR (my feet were too sore to walk this time) and it was still closed. Next, I went to custom house to pay down my balance on the room with the gift cards we had and then I drove back to the room. By this point everyone was waking up so we got ready to go. We had the cereal and granola bars I had packed for breakfast. The boys modeled their Epcot shirts I had made with the help of the DISign board.

​

Modeling his Goofy hat and he is holding his droid he made

​

We headed out, grabbed our coffee at OPR, and drove to Epcot. We were so early we got the third parking spot in the first row. One nice thing about driving is that at DHS and Epcot there are bag checks off to the side and really only accessible if you have parked in the lot. These bag checks never have anyone at them and are a breeze to get through. The bag checkers were two older gentlemen one from IL and one from MI. We had a chat with them since we have lived in both places and then were on our way. This was my first experience with EMH and we were scanned before we were allowed to get in line. While we waited the boys got their sunscreen on and ate the rest of their cereal. A managerial looking CM told us that they were going to let us in and we would be held inside the park. They let us in at 7:40 and we were held right before Spaceship Earth. We got our first look at the topiaries and our PP of the day.

​

While we waited I took my obligatory Spaceship Earth pictures.

​

Right at 8 we had an official rope drop and we walked to Test Track. Joe and Connor rode and got a riderswap for later. Nicholas was pretty cranky after being in the stroller for almost an hour by this point so I took them to the Chevy showroom area. We were the only people there with about 4 CMs. It was actually pretty nice because I could let James wander and knew he would be all right. One of the CM immediately approached me and asked me all kinds of questions about my car and if it would be all right to send me a brochure. I did not want a brochure but I felt bad saying no so I gave her my details and she gave me two of the Tomorrowland movie pins. I was pretty excited about the pins and I still haven’t received my brochure. James had a ton of fun playing in the cars.

​

I was starting to get antsy at about 15 minutes in. The last time I rode TT was in 2001 and I had no idea it would take this long for people to ride. At 8:17 the first riders of the day were finally coming off and Joe and Connor were close behind.

​

I felt like this was a huge chunk of time to waste on one ride during EMH. The next ride we went to was Spaceship Earth.

​

Nicholas was starting to get hungry and I felt like this was a good place to feed him. As soon as our ride vehicle had passed the picture point I nursed him. Now, I am not a person that willingly chooses to nurse in public. This whole ride I felt super uncomfortable because I know the CM have cameras on the ride and, as silly as it is, I felt like the animatronics were staring. The best part was that Nicholas fell asleep and he really needed the nap.

James' head got cut off ​

When we got of SE we realized that our stroller was on the opposite side of SE, not wanting to walk all the way over there Joe took James to get the stroller and we decided to meet up in The Land pavilion.

This is where we split up​

This was a terrible idea and I have no idea what I was thinking. I had to carry Nicholas from the fountain area back around Innovations West, we stopped at the bathrooms because Connor had to go potty, and then through the land to Living with the Land, all the while trying to not wake him up and doing it in 90+ degree heat. By the time we reached the ride my back was screaming in pain. It felt so good to sit in that boat let me tell you. I was afraid the boys would not enjoy this ride but they really did. Connor loved pointing all the produce he recognized and James loved the fish.

After LwtL, we spotted a PP on the way to Finding Nemo.

He didn't plan the pose at all but I think its cute it worked out that it looks like he is floating away.

We were able to walk right on Nemo.
