A Disboutiquer's "just another trip report" --THE END! updated 8/28

[jham]

I am going to have to go read ScottNYs TR to see what happened!

Isn't fun to get to go in before everyone else!
Jayden looks so pretty!
Your hubby is REALLY strong!
I love Lily's outfit!

Sorry about the grumpy waiter!!! And the meh food!!! I liked it when we ate there, but that was for dinner. The people working at these places should be nice!!!

You saw Ariel!!!!

Poor Lukie!!! hiding under tables!! I hope he didn't find any gum!

Mulan's makeup is a bit harsh!

I'm loving Lily's poses with princesses!!!

I see a Jeanne!!! I can NOT believe you actually took a photo of a photo!!! Really!

We saw the movie in Canada this year too. The day we went without my family! I doubt Mom would have went for that idea!!!

WOE Your FIL lives on an island!!!??!!! COOLNESS!

What?? WHAT?? That's it???? There was a HORRIBLE lack of Luke in this installment Jeanne!!!

Thanks! Yes, my FIL lives on an island--a biggish one though, Vancouver Island. But his house backs onto the rainforest which backs onto the beach so it is pretty cool! Luke thinks there is a HORRIBLE lack of Luke in this installment also, but I had to remind him it was his own fault. Then he told me "well, I like that princess (Aurora) and that one (Belle)

ETA: Hey Lookie! You are the first AND last post on page 20! (okay, so maybe you're my only reader )

I think you should a few Luke pictures, even if they aren't from your trip!!! You tell him his Aunt Teresa wants to see some pictures!

A rainforest too!!!??!! Wow!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Great Installment...can't believe you got to see the "human" Ariel. Yes, the makeup was scary on Mulan but I think that's because she doesn't actually appear to be ASIAN???

Love your DD's peasant top btw

 

[MegaWoman]

I'm slowly reading your trippie backwards! We went to see "O! Canada!" (in "CircleVision" no less) on our last trip, and before we went in the CM asked if there were any Canadians in the group, and before/during/after the movie I felt like a movie star! Everyone was asking about places to visit in Canada, and I told them that one of the places that I really want to see is: wait for it - Vancouver Island! I've been to Vancouver a couple of times, but never had time to make it across. Now I'm jealous that your FIL lives there.

OK - back to reading the trippie!

[scottny]

that was my favorite installment of your tr so far.

Great update and pics.

Akershus was well I cannot say on here.

It was really great to have met you. I felt bad because I did not think I was in the best moods since I had to change shirts.

I regret not taking a pic of us.

Looks like you had fun the rest of the morning.

 

[Native NYer]

Love your update!

Between your tr and Scott's, I'm definitely NEVER eating at that princess meal in Norway.

And Mulan's make up is scary.

 

[mommyof2princesses]

DD just said...Look, Cinderella got to meet Belle! She loved all your princess pics! She is excited because we are doing the same breakfast in Sept/Oct. She wants to meet them all.

Spaceship earth looked neat. It really needed an update! And the games after looked fun!

Can't wait till another update!

 

[CampbellScot]

What an AWESOME installment!! Our trip is coming up soon and we are dining at Boma and Akershus for the first time! It was neat to see how y'all liked it!!

as always, your babies are so darling!! It was good to see pictures of their pretty mama too!! Spaceship Earth looks FUN! It was classic the last time...but a bit dull. Yay for refurbs!!

 

[rushing]

your family is beautiful.

 

[VBsHustla]

We just came across your TR and love it! Very impressive clothes, especially your baby's Nemo outfit! And your kids are so cute!

 

[jham]

I'm still here! And determined to finishi this thing off before my next trip

Yes, the "human" Ariel was cool. We also met her at Disneyland and it was one of my most memorable experiences. She was SOOOOOO sweet with Lily. I'm glad somebody agrees that Mulan's makeup was scary.

The island is beautiful! We love visiting there.

Yes, you were horribly grumpy just kidding. Why didn't we get any pics? It was such a quick meet. "Hi, I'm jham, remember me from your ptr? Let's take pics"

Love your update!

Between your tr and Scott's, I'm definitely NEVER eating at that princess meal in Norway.

And Mulan's make up is scary.

I'm in no rush to eat there again. It is similar to Ariel's grotto at Disneyland so next time I'll go there instead...although they had a HORRIBLE nasty Aurora there.

How cute. She will love meeting all the princesses!

Thanks Miss Cammie, for all I know you are eating at Boma or Akershus RIGHT NOW!

your family is beautiful.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Okay, off to photobucket to work on pictures for an update.

We had spent the first half of the day at Epcot and were ready to head on over to DHS to catch a few things we’d missed the first time. Of course first off we needed some lunch! The kids really wanted to go to Pizza Planet. The food was pretty good and everyone was happy. They especially loved their Mickey Head rice crispy treats.

After lunch we went to the Indiana Jones stunt show. DH of course had to run somewhere and pick up some fast-passes while I took the kids and got seats. We were there early and got great front-row seats. DH finally joined us. The show starts and she starts calling for volunteers out of the audience. She called for a dad—the kids started hollering and pointing to their dad. Yes, he got picked. Now in some circles, DH is known as “Hammy” and I don’t think it’s just because of his name…he is one of those people that likes to have fun and doesn’t care if he embarrasses himself doing it. I love that about him. The show was fun. The kids thought it was hilarious.

Here he is “trying out”

The lovely yellow “robe”

I don’t know why I don’t have any pictures, but somewhere along the way we stopped under “The Hat” to do a little pin trading. My kids love pin trading and this was one of the funnest trading experiences we’ve had. Luke did a mystery pin trade with a CM. He was so silly about it, he kept trying to peek behind her back to see what it was.

We rode on ToT and RnR again and saw the Little Mermaid show. I wanted to get a picture of DD10 in the same spot we took pictures the last time we were here—in 2001.

Okay, couldn't find the exact photo--pre digital ya know, but this one is close. She is sitting on the wall (she is on the right) with two of Sugarbees kids.

This is a typical example of trying to get 3 kids to pose for a picture:

Then it was time to head off to our dinner reservations…

Next up: The dinner from H E Double hockey sticks.

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

So fun that your DH was in the stunt show...and that you were there to record it. DH and I were picked the boat thing at the backlot tour so we had no one to take pics. I wish I had some...I'm sure that there were hilarious!!! Such fun memories!

 

[jham]

Were were we headed next? I was really looking forward to this ADR. My family is pretty good at playing along and being silly (you may have noticed) and I thought a good time would be had by all at WCC.

First of all I loved WL. It was beautiful, and since we live in the Rocky Mountains, it felt kinda homey.

This being said, I don’t think we’d stay here just because when we go to Florida, we want Florida, not home. We got here about 30 minutes early and I wanted to go explore the hotel lobby a little bit. DH had other ideas. He went and checked us in to WCC and they seated us right away. They led us through the restaurant, and by through I mean ALL THE WAY through and around a corner to a round table sitting off all on it’s lonely. There were, I believe, 3 other tables within view of ours and maybe 2 of those tables could actually see into the dining room. Our only view was of the hotel lobby and 3 walls.

Our view:

We sat down and the kids were given coloring pages. No crayons. Little Lily LOVES to color. She sat there looking at that coloring page and no crayons and started to cry and cry. Being around the corner and all, rarely was any sort of server to be found. Finally we get a hold of someone and tell them we need crayons. Hours (felt like) passed, still no crayons. Finally a little girl at another table comes over and places her cup of crayons on our table. Wow, I felt bad. Were we making that much of a scene? Then along comes another child from over in the “real” dining area with a cup of crayons, then another child comes from somewhere else. AHA! Look at the fun and silly game they are playing with us. Don’t give the 2 year old any crayons, and when she is sobbing over it, make other kids come give her theirs so the mom feels guilty! How cute! How fun! GOOD TIMES! We were rolling on the floor over that little prank.

Oh look! We got crayons! Are we having fun yet?

Eventually our food arrives. It took forever and our waitress was SUCH a GRUMP! When she threw napkins on our table, the kids just thought it was because she was mean, not being funny. That was the extent of the hijinks by the way.

Luke did like his blue milkshake though:

Meanwhile I was getting madder and madder! Finally I had to take a kid on a potty run and while traveling through the “real” dining area I saw that fun was being had and stick ponies were being ridden—who knew? Not us cave people in the corner. So I dragged the kids out there and hoped for a little fun.

Now it was finally time for dessert. Our service was so slow it was bedtime by now. I ordered some sort of apple pie thingy. A couple of bites in I find a sticker in my pie. Now I could figure out that it was the little sticker thingy the grocery store puts on an apple, so it could’ve been worse, but THERE WAS A STICKER IN MY PIE. (Now why didn’t I take a picture of that?) Another 30 minutes later and the horrid waitress finally brought me a new dessert. By now of course I was out in the lobby trying to keep the kids happy while DH was waiting endlessly for the check.

I doubt I will ever go back there again.

ETA: I forgot to add the cute towel art we came home to that night!

Up Next: Our last day! And Chef Mickeys

 

[Stephres]

Your breakfast was meh? LOL! Jacob was over my shoulder while reading and asked who the kids were and I pointed them out and said, that's Luke, who Tessa wants to marry. And he said, really? I think he was a little jealous!

I didn't really think our lunch at WL was that great either. It's tough when not everyone is in character and why would they torture little Lily with no crayons like that? That's not nice!

My favorite picture is the one trying to get three to pose together. Does Lily have a fistful for Luke's hair?

 

[jessica52877]

We have never had exceptional service or food at WCC either! Jayden looks so cute little!

 

[MamaOfTwoPrincesses]

Just had to comment on Lily's adorable Cinderella custom. She is just the cutest thing I have ever seen!

 

[teresajoy]

I just love Lily in that Cinderella outfit!!!

You should have told those people at WC
"No one puts Baby in a corner!"



Sorry you had such a bad time there. I can't believe they would put anyone where they could't see or participate like that!

And, a STICKER in your PIE???!!???!!! GEESH!

Your breakfast was meh? LOL! Jacob was over my shoulder while reading and asked who the kids were and I pointed them out and said, that's Luke, who Tessa wants to marry. And he said, really? I think he was a little jealous!

Hey now!!!! WAIT A MINUTE!!!!! I do believe Arminda has some weddin' ideas for Jacob already!

 

[HeatherSue]

I missed your last installment! I'm so ashamed!!

I love the pic of DH holding up the epcot ball!! It's a good thing he caught it before it squashed someone!

Lily is absolutely adorable in her Cinderella outfit! I love Seth and Luke's matching outfits. I also really like Jayden's shirt. I don't remember that one! Very cute!

Oh my gosh, the picture of you on Spaceship earth is giving me a giggle fit!

Luke with Tinkertoys and wet hair! How adorable is he?! I love his "MOM tattoo" shirt. Where did you get that?

Hammy's a star!!! How cool that he got picked out of the audience! My dad is always getting picked for stuff like that, too!

The classic bad "3 kids" shot is so reminiscent of the majority of my bad "2 kid" shots!

Gee, that crayon joke was just hilarous.

A STICKER in your pie?

At least they didn't call you "soggy buns".

You should have told those people at WC
"No one puts Baby in a corner!"


Hey now!!!! WAIT A MINUTE!!!!! I do believe Arminda has some weddin' ideas for Jacob already!

Love the baby in the corner joke!

Yes, Arminda told me at the park the other day "That boy looks like Jacob, only Jacob is a lot cuter."

 

[Stephres]

Hey now!!!! WAIT A MINUTE!!!!! I do believe Arminda has some weddin' ideas for Jacob already!

Yes, Arminda told me at the park the other day "That boy looks like Jacob, only Jacob is a lot cuter."

Jacob has a soft spot in his heart for Tessa too, sorry to tell you Teresa. And there is the girl whom in he had in class every year since kindergarten, and another girl in his class last year...

I am quite certain he will be in a tizzy at the Feb meet with all the beautiful disboutiquer girls there!

Awwww, Heather, that's so sweet. Jacob was trying to convince Megan to watch the Hannah Montana movie because Arminda asked if Megan watched it yet. He was telling her, but Megan, Arminda really thinks you should watch it!
