I love when parents take special time for each child!Connor and I were headed to MK for our mother/son night.
Lady T is always an awesome M+G!!! So glad it was an excellent mother's day.

No it was really nice, I loved the ambiance with the music.I was a little bit the same way. I totally expected to walk in there and feel snubbed but you really don't feel anything but peaceful relaxation.
Oh you have to look her up, she is GF legend.Who?
Yeah, that is pretty much the consensus maybe my expectations were already so low that it was easy to impress.Impressive he fell pretty flat when we saw him.
Thanks, it really was a perfect dinner.Sounds like a great choice for Mother's Day Dinner! Glad you had such good character interactions in addition to enjoying the food.
It was the bestI'm excited to hear about your mother/son MK time!
I'm sure you'll love it, I have great things about the breakfast.Looks like a great dinner! We have never eaten anywhere at the GF but will be doing 1900 park fare breakfast in January.
Thanks it was so great! The two characters meals was an accident because we added this morning and I couldn't find another good dinner on short notice for mother's day but it was really fun to do.Looks like you had a great Mother's Day! Your boys were so cute and two character meals in one day so lucky!
Yay, another TTA lover!I also love The transit authority, this is a fav ride of mine. I also love laugh floor we tried it a few years ago and really enjoyed it!
It was SOOO hot.We had such perfect weather the weeke before you, and your trip seems much warmer!!
Yeah, that's always nice when it happens.Wow! Nice surprise!
Oh it was great, one of those things that lived up to the hype.She seems like a lot of fun! I'm glad she was true to form for you guys.
Oh, that's a great point never thought about it.It would really be hard to play that role, in all honesty. The prince doesn't have a lot of film material to work with as far as how to act and play the role. I'm glad he did a good job for you guys.
I think you guys would have a great time. With how your ds reacts to princesses they would be all over him and it would be great memories.Awesome! I've always heard great things about this dinner. It has never really been near the top of our list to try, but I do want to get there eventually. We really might have to check it out soon.
Its so rare to get that one-on-one time but then to have it on MK on Mother's Day was truly magical.I love when parents take special time for each child!
Lady T is always an awesome M+G!!! So glad it was an excellent mother's day.
As we were getting ready to leave the station Connor tells me I need to put the camera away because I might drop it. He was so sincere and serious it was cute but I felt like the child.
Good for him for at least trying it!The final consensus? He liked it a little but it was a lot scary. I was really proud of him for going on it and that was all I could ask for.
Those commercials were dead useful leading up to the trip I tell ya! Now they just make her ask about going back!See for anybody unfamiliar with Disney Junior, they don’t have commercials for toys but they do have these little promos with little kids experiencing Disney vacations
They do? Never heard that before.I was nervous about this ride because I know everyone shrinks as the day goes on
And he tells me that I HAVE to put the camera away. I asked him why because we still had a little bit of a wait and his response was that he knew I shouldn’t have brought the camera because I would drop it.
A boy with good taste!I was really surprised to find out that Connor fell in love with this ride during the trip and kept asking to ride it.
poor thing!At some point Connor actually started to fall asleep standing up.
Yay for a great Mother's day!It was the perfect way to end what had been the perfect Mother’s Day.
Thanks, it was the best .Looks like you had a fantastic day! You rode all of my favorites. That's so cool that he went on HM even though it was scary. It really seems like you had a fantastic Mother's Day.
It was so aweome.I just love this update! What a special way to wrap up your Mother's Day - spending one-on-one time in the Magic Kingdom with your firstborn.
It's funny you say that because he was complaining while I was taking the picture because it was too hardYou also got a ton of stuff done! Great use of Rider Swaps (and FP). I'm glad that he was so brave and went on everything, including facing his HM fear. I can see why you'd be nervous on Space...that picture really shows how tiny he is in there and how hard it is to hold onto him. I love that he is a big fan of the Peoplemover and even got into the feet shot.
Yeah, that part is annoying but it is probably the last time we will do this with the price increase.Glad you enjoyed the dessert party. I think we had a similar table/view when we went several years ago. Same as you, we still had to stand once others did.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind the bus with just adults or maybe one kid but no way this this many.Taking the bus can sometimes be a pain. And sometimes not bad. No consistency, so you can't count on anything. I can see how a car would be much easier with multiple kids.
Thanks, I was so happy to get to do this with my olesWhat a great way to end the day! Sounds so fun to be able to have one on one time!!
Looking forward to the next update.
Yeah, I felt bad because I knew he wouldn't like it but he was also so excited to try it since he loves the ghost host and grim grinning ghosts.Good for him for at least trying it!
Yeah, I find them super annoying I woul much rather them pester me about some $30 dollar toy than a few thousand dollar trip.Those commercials were dead useful leading up to the trip I tell ya! Now they just make her ask about going back!
Yeah, I don't know the science behind it but if you are just barely tall enough to make the ride it could definitely cause you to miss the height requirement by the end of the night.They do? Never heard that before.
You know, my boys haven't reached the point where things are too girly for them yet and I think the step sisters actually give more attention to the boys at this meal.Your dinner at 1900 PF sounds like so much fun! I would love to try it one time but with 3 boys I wasn't sure how they would take it. But it seems like you had lots of fun and the characters played along well with the boys!
Just don't tell him what he said after. I was a little surprised by them not measuring actually but I also knew that he was tall enough otherwise I would not let him ride.I love, love, love that you had a special mother-son date! That time is so special. And you got so much done! My oldest is really afraid of anything "spooky" so I may have to show him the pictures of Connor on HM. It may make him braver! And how crazy that they didn't measure him for Space?
Thanks, it was as perfect as a night can be.It sounds like a perfect night!
Getting there early enough to be first in line at the turnstile seems to help with that stress.I’d like to think that even though I am very high strung, type A person, that I cant actually let loose and have fun during our Disney trips but, putting it lightly I get cranky at rope drop because it always feels so stressful. And even with all that we still walked right on TSMM as usual and I stressed for nothing.
Woohoo! That's a fun milestone to finally get to ride your first big ride with him!First we headed to Splash Mountain, this was my first big ride with Connor and it was cute to see how excited he was.
I'm glad you managed to catch it on camera. But that was so nice of him to be concerned about it!As we were getting ready to leave the station Connor tells me I need to put the camera away because I might drop it. He was so sincere and serious it was cute but I felt like the child. Thank goodness I did not listen to him because his reactions during the ride were adorable and now I have the footage forever.
That's great! I give him credit for going through with it and experiencing it.The final consensus? He liked it a little but it was a lot scary. I was really proud of him for going on it and that was all I could ask for.
I love those commercials.... See for anybody unfamiliar with Disney Junior, they don’t have commercials for toys but they do have these little promos with little kids experiencing Disney vacations and when the Mine Train opened that was all I heard about.
The things we do as parents.We also had a rs for the speedway. I wasn’t thrilled about this one but I know Connor loves it.
Great view!view from our table
I've seen that more than once on the buses. FiL caught a kid about to fall down during our last trip.At some point Connor actually started to fall asleep standing up.
That is awesome! I'm glad that you had such a great night. You guys really got through a lot during your time together and I'm glad you had a chance to get some one on one time with him.This night was all I had hoped it would be. I rarely get to spend one-on-one time with Connor because he is the oldest and the most independent, he demands much less of my time, So, it was so nice to get to talk to him and just hang out. It was the perfect way to end what had been the perfect Mother’s Day.
Those platters are amazing. I've done that more than once!Believe it or not but we split the bounty platter between the four of us and were all satisfied from it, that thing is BIG. Plus, were not big breakfast eaters normally
Uh oh...Then we had a Mickey bag/cooler which stayed in the stroller and had diapers, drinks, sunscreen and that was the one I forgot. Well Joe forgot.
I always seem to find that line.It is so frustrating when you get to the park early and then they finally open and you are stuck on the outside while streams of people are rushing to TSMM.
It really is a challenge to enjoy that ride with a child on your lap! I'm glad that it was an overall success though!I do not remember much about this ride except Nicholas hated it. I was trying to shoot and he would start to fuss and cry and then we would whip around and he would get happy. It was a rollercoaster of emotion for that one and super difficult to shoot with a baby on my lap. All-in-all we had a blast though and this became James’ favorite ride.
Thanks, I had fun walking around and capturing that early morning feeling at the resort. We are the same breakfast only on vacation.Great pictures of the resort! I don't usually eat breakfast except for when I'm on vacation. Great pictures with woody and buzz as well.
We got there an hour early every morning, I don't think we could have gotten ourselves there any earlier .Getting there early enough to be first in line at the turnstile seems to help with that stress.
Yay for fun mornings at DHS!
Yeah, the bag was just a small bump in the road.Sounds like pretty good start to the day... Except for the bag issue but that was resolved quickly so that's good!
Yeah it was. I always get to hear him talk about it after but actually seeing him on it was so entertaining.Woohoo! That's a fun milestone to finally get to ride your first big ride with him!
He is my little worrier.I'm glad you managed to catch it on camera. But that was so nice of him to be concerned about it!
Yeah, and I asked him about it the other day and he says it was not scary and he wants to go on it againThat's great! I give him credit for going through with it and experiencing it.
I like them, what I don't like it the incessant can we go to WDW, DCL, Aulani?I love those commercials...
Yeah, next time I am making Joe take them.The things we do as parents.
Eesh that's scaryI've seen that more than once on the buses. FiL caught a kid about to fall down during our last trip.
Thanks, I am quite proud of everything we got to.That is awesome! I'm glad that you had such a great night. You guys really got through a lot during your time together and I'm glad you had a chance to get some one on one time with him.
Definitely doing that again.Those platters are amazing. I've done that more than once!
And you pinned the blame on Joe...
Yeah, thankfully I got to do it twice without the baby.It really is a challenge to enjoy that ride with a child on your lap! I'm glad that it was an overall success though!
It was a good exhausting.Sounds exhausting except for the period you and your eldest snuck off to MK
This is where I stayed with my family on our only WDW trip as a kid in 2001. It is pretty much the same but the new decor is nice and some rooms do sleep 5, ours did not.Love the early morning pictures of CBR! We stayed there on my first trip to Disney over 20 years ago. I would love to stay there someday, especially since I think they now sleep 5? Right?
Yes, I knew my people here on the Dis wouldn't Judges because most are just like meThat's super frustrating when you're line is the only one standing still at the turnstiles. I'm very Type A (I think most of us who plan and write these TRs are, which is why we enjoy it lol!) and I would have been fuming!
Yeah, all that fuming for nothing. I love this queue and meet and greet.I'm glad that TSMM was still a walk on! And cute pictures in the queue to meet Buzz and Woody!
Glad that everything worked out okay that morning, despite the couple of frustrating moments. It is definitely harder to play TSM when holding a little one. Cute meet with Woody and Buzz!
