I like all the character interactions Claire had. I saw the videos and started laughing at how she waited for Tiger to pass so she can jump in that line. She is the only little girl in PINK lol

I enjoyed looking at all the pictures of Claire. She is a pretty little girl. We like the Crystal Palace a lot, but we have only done breakfast there.

Love the one of Claire smooching Eeyore! So cute!

I love the Crystal Palace. I think the food there is good too. At least it was for us last week. Did you like the food? I also love that they do a little march behind the characters. The videos are cute that you posted.

I really liked the food, but Skip said he thought the selection was weird. But that didn't stop him from eating a ton. LOL!

After we ate we decided to see once again if Jasmine was out. We passed by Rafiki on our way. I told Claire we would come back to him if he was still out later. Jasmine was out, but her line was cut off again. We asked and were told that she would be back out at 5:45 for the last time that day. It was about 5:10, so we ran back to Rafiki. We were the last ones to see him before he took a little break.

We ran back to Jasmines line and were second! YAY. We had to wait a few minutes before she came out and the line was filling fast.
When She did come out, everyone stood and got into the line more officially. Now I was always second. Never was “out of line” and we had our stroller. This kid behind us, (probably late teens) tried to jump in front of me. ***? I was here first buddy. Well normally I try to be careful with my stroller when I’m walking, but if you try to cut me off or do something stupid, you will FEEL my wrath, and he did! Don’t mess with stroller moms. Don’t be so stupid. LOL! I did say excuse me though.

I told the photopass lady that I had preordered the CD and she was a wench. She kept asking me where? And I said I “pre ordered” it. And then she said here or online? I told her online and she seemed mad about that, AND she didn’t take a lot of pictures either. And her pictures weren’t all that great….neither were mine though. LOL! And then I go to hand her my photopass card to scan and she pulls out a new on and scans it. UGH! I am on the last day of the trip, have used the same card all week, and most likely not going to get any more photos and she gives me a new card.
Well here are my pictures.

And the photopass ones.

I love this Character Meal!! My DH and I have done this the past three years we've gone. Tigger is my favorite, so it's my guarantee to see him. We don't always get the chance to get in line and see the characters around the parks. I'm glad that he played with Claire!

Aww what a great update.

While we were in line for Jasmine, Skip decided he was going to head back to the room again. So we 2 hot chicks were on our own again. LOL!

I decided we should use the fast pass for Peter Pan then.

Claire was worried it would be scary, but she totally enjoyed it.

We were getting tired and decided that we would check the Fairy line again and then head out.

The wait was an hour still, so no go for us. I doubled checked with Claire to be sure she didn’t want to stay and watch Spectro or the fireworks, and she was sure she was ready to go back to the room.

We slowly made our way to the front of the park. I took these on the way.

As we are walking up, I decide I want to look in shops. They were packed, of course.

I still had that “other” sweatshirt on my mind…..the one I DIDN’T buy because it didn’t have the year on it, but I liked so much…..well I bought it. I just really liked it so much, and I knew I would wear it a lot too. ( I am actually wearing it right this minute. LOL)

Finally off to the bus stop.
The bus was packed. I had Claire sitting next to me as close as she could, the stroller between my legs and my bag on my lap. As we starting pulling into Pops driveway, I swear it felt like my butt was getting wet? Sure enough when we stood up, it was wet and the bottom of my bag was wet and there was a small puddle under my seat. NO!!!!! I didn’t pee my pants! My stupid lemonade had a slow leak UGH!

We went back to the room and got Claire ready for a swim. Skip took her out to the pool while I finished up the packing. I cleaned out the bag and took it to the laundry room to dry. I needed to use it on the plane the next day, so I couldn’t have a wet bag.

Don't you just hate saying good bye to Magic Kingdom. I think it is always sad leaving it that last day!

I hate leaving. I was getting tired by that day, but knew that leaving was the last look for quite awhile. I hope we go next March, but if I can talk DH into the Disney cruise this comng up year, it will most likely be even longer till I see it again.

 

[jenseib]

I'm gonna throw in some Mothers day pictures too.

My kids and I

Added to the mix...my mom, sisters and neice

And some random of Claire playing that day.

Thanks.

Yes I would've not been happy if I had to have the wet butt at the parks. LOL!

That is a cute sweatshirt!! Those are also cute mother's day pictures. Your children are beautiful, and you are one hot mama!!

When we were at MK my 7 year old son saw Captain Hook and was dying to see him. There were only 3 people in line so I told him to run up and stand in line while I parked the stroller and got my other kids out. While he was standing in line some tour group that didn't speak English came and cut right in front of him. I said,"Excuse me, my son was waiting in line." They looked at me with blank looks to which my husband says, " they don't understand you". My son just said it was ok he would wait. Well, at first there were about 6 or 7 people in this group that cut in front of my son. As soon as the group gets up to the front of the line, out no where comes 6 or 7 more families to join them. So now we were about 14 families away from seeing Hook. I said something to the character handler about how we had now been waiting 30 minutes and people kept joining the group in front of us and it wasn't fair that they could just walk right up, join their group, see the characters and not have to wait. The character handler then turns around and says loudly," Anybody who is not a part of this group needs to go back to the end of the line. Only people with the group can walk up." I was so mad because she was ok with all these people seeing somebody they know and walking right up to the front of the line. It ended up taking us almost an hour to see Captain Hook. I wouldn't have waited if my son wasn't so adamant about it. Not to mention that it was also 97 degree's out and my 2 yr old and 3 yr old were going crazy. I ended up walking off with them and letting my husband wait with the older two boys. I don't know that I will ever get over that. It makes me furious just thinking about it.

Thank goodness your TR cheers me up.

 

[jenseib]

Thats so rude. You should've just cut in front of them.

 

[jenseib]

OOPS! I forgot we did have a last photopass taken before we left the park too.

After the swim I decided to go to DTD and use up our CS and snack credits. I planned on going to Earl of Sandwich and getting some sandwiches to put on ice overnight and then eat them on the plane tomorrow morning. And then to Goofy’s to use up the snack credits. And I also wanted to buy something for my niece, so I figured we would stop in at World of Disney.
Claire wanted to come along with me. I wanted to do a quick trip there and back and then get settled down, maybe take a shower and get rested. NOT!
I swear there is no way to get there quick from Pop using the buses. You can get anywhere pretty fast on the buses, EXCEPT Down Town Disney.
I think we got in line for the bus at 8:30 and it we waited at LEAST a half hour for a dang bus to even come. We id talk to a couple of gals in line with us and they had been in line even longer, and said a bus had just left when they were walking out to the bus stop.

We finally got there and ordered our sandwiches. Claire ate her chips right away. I got brownies for DH and I.
Skip’s plan was to go get a hot fudge sundae at the Pop food court while we were gone and then he was to beep me and tell me how many snack credits we had left. He beeped me while in EOS and told us we still had 3 left.
Good deal!

We made our way towards WOD store. The bag with the food was getting heavy fast. I wish I had brought my canvas bag along…but it was still in the dryer drying.

We stopped off for a picture.

Then on to World of Disney

we did our shopping and picked up a Jasmine figurine doll with the rubber dresses for my niece and then a Mulan one for Claire. I asked for a big bag so I could put the sandwich bag in there too. I had drinks in that bag and it was killing my arm. Well the big bag was really heavy too. LOL!

We stopped on the way out for these pictures.

Great way to use up those credits! I can imagine how heavy that bag was getting!

Very cute pics of Claire! and loved the Mothers Day ones too.
