[Trentmom]

[Trentmom]

Another great update

Cute pics of Bird and Paw Paw playing Rock papers Scissors

Love your night time shots

Shame about no poster.....

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

Awwwww... look at Huey!

Great update Orangie! Can't wait to hear how you gave somebody whatfor and got your kids a poster! At least I hope that is what happened!

I had no idea about the green sharpies. You would think black sharpies would do the same thing.

That wasn't the ONLY beer you had, was it??

Looks like that guy bored the heck outta your poor kids.

Great pictures. Looks like y'all had a wonderful day at Epcot.

 

[SqueakyMouse]

Can't wait for more!

Great updates and pictures! Did you find that a lot of the CM's at the kidkot stops didn't seem all that happy to be there? We had this experience last trip. They weren't "rude", just "blah". They didn't talk, and didn't care that we were there.

I love when you can get "normal" folks doing something they wouldn't do back at home....good get....

This made me laugh out loud because I can picture you getting out of there as quickly as possible with the kids both swinging their arms back and forth.....

Isn't it great? I kept saying Come on...you know you want to try it on...We're in Disney World!

I swear they turned into monkeys.

I wonder if kids today even know what a phone booth is.....

Yeah I know. It's very weird. Kids will definitely make you feel ancient. Guess what?!?! When Mom and Dad were kids, there were no cell phones and no REMOTE CONTROL !!!

From our September trip! Just ignore me and look at my DD cutie!!

Oh my goodness ! Ya'll are so cute. I wish I had gotten my pic in the sombrero!

Oh, please tell Sugar I really loved her picture in the Viking hat! I thought she looked great!

I didn't know about the green sharpies...since you were in Morrocco, I was guessing that it was a religious thing...and all I could think of was how as kids we'd avoid eating the green M&Ms!!

We always ate at the fish and chips shop before for a quick snack. However, when we went in Sept, I was disappointed by the amount of food for our counter-service credit. I think it was only 2 (maybe 3?) small pieces of fish and some fries and a small (like 1.5 x 1") cookie/biscuit for dessert.

I loved all the pictures of your kids at the KidCot stations...I'm sure that's in our future!

I thought it was the red ones you were supposed to avoid

Our fish was HUGE. So huge and fresh out the grease that it was too hot to eat.

Here ya go Ob..since ya never seen this one before

Huey is adorable !

Awwwww... look at Huey!

Great update Orangie! Can't wait to hear how you gave somebody whatfor and got your kids a poster! At least I hope that is what happened!

You know me

Weird about the green sharpies huh?

Actually I forgot somewhere around America I had one of those Grey Goose lemonade slushy drinks. Yum!!

Can't wait for more!

And thanks for reading!

You know I really did. A lot of them seemed kinda blah. That is the perfect word for it. The girls in Morocco were nice. Also China and Japan. The rest were just not into it. Oh well.

Today is Mardi Gras! We all donned our Mardi Gras shirts (minus Paw Paw) and headed over to the Grand Floridian for breakfast. This hotel is just beautiful. My pictures do not do it any justice, but here they are just the same.

We got there a little early so we got a buzzer and walked around a bit.

Bird relaxing.

Can you tell Teddy is aggravated and doesn’t want to take pictures?

Love the “Gone with the Wind” staircase…

We head over here…

And I couldn’t keep the monkeys still long enough to get a decent picture.

Luckily, the buzzer goes off before I have to kill someone and we are off to breakfast. Before we even get to hit the buffet, we get to meet this guy! This is Sugar’s favorite.

So…big fancy hotel…really nice buffet…what did you have? I’m so glad you asked.

Mmmm. Mickey waffles, Lobster Eggs Benedict, hash browns, fresh pineapple . Yummy. I filled this plate many times but this is the only picture I got. Was too busy eating my friend.

What did Bird eat?

See the eggs on her plate. I put them there. She didn’t touch them. Bird ate a pound of bacon, a pound of sausage, and a pound of ham. All she would eat was meat

And what did Teddy Bear eat?

That’s right … Fruit Loops. 3 bowls of Fruit Loops. It’s all my fault. I never buy them at home. So naturally when he sees them that is all he wants. Sigh.

Hide your eyes Marshay !

Tigger came back around, and can you see what Teddy is eating?

That’s right Chocolate ice cream! With M&M’s on top! Fruit Loops and Chocolate ice cream for breakfast. We must be in Disney World.

Then Mary Poppins came over and had to lecture Teddy Bear on the proper way to sit in his chair. Look at the adoration on his face.

 

[Trentmom]

Happy Easter!!


Great Update Ob!!

Grand Floridian is gorgeous. I love the pic of Bird in the chair...Is that a little purse she has on her arm? Too cute

That Teddy Bear.,...such a doll he is.

Love the shots of the kids in Goofy Hats

Breakfast looks yummy. I love those Mickey Waffles

Fruit Loops and Choc Ice Cream...Sound perfect to me


Can't wait to read what is next

 

[Leger13]

Great update!! You have me wanting to do the Character Breakfast at the Grand Floridian now!! Those Waffles look SOOO good! Yum!! Great pictures. I especially love the ones of Teddy and Bird in The Goofy hat

 

[jordanyosh]

Your kids look like they had a great time....

I especially like the picture with Pooh and your DD...

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Oh my gosh, the look on your DS's little face w/Mary Poppins is just priceless! I love it! Looks like you guys had a great breakfast. Even if it was full of froot loops, ice cream & meats.

Thank you. That is her camera. I still haven't downloaded her pictures yet.

I the Mickey Waffles. Why do they taste so good?

Happy easter!

Thanks, I just wish I could get those little monkeys to hold still!

Your kids look like they had a great time....

I especially like the picture with Pooh and your DD...

Yes she got the biggest hug from Pooh !

Oh my gosh, the look on your DS's little face w/Mary Poppins is just priceless! I love it! Looks like you guys had a great breakfast. Even if it was full of froot loops, ice cream & meats.

Don't you just love that pic?!? We had just watched Mary Popping before we left and he was just in awe! He kept asking where Bert was

 

[OrangeBlossom15]

Our last characters of the meal were none other than Alice and the Mad Hatter. I don’t think
Teddy Bear had a clue.

With breakfast over, we decided to walk off some of that delicious food. I tried to get a good picture
in front of this store front, but the camera angle was bad and my kids are goof balls.

The Grand Floridian is absolutely breathtaking. I would love to stay there one day. It was very quiet
and there was hardly anyone around. I guess everyone was at the parks that day.

Maybe we’ll eat here one day…

Teddy Bear was our tour guide…

Here is Teddy telling Dad all about our fantastic breakfast:

Sugar taking time to smell the flowers…

 

[Trentmom]

Yah, another update!!

Love the pics of your kids hamming it up


All of your shots of Grand Floridian are beautiful!!

Love that resort!!!!


Love tour guide Teddy Bear

Thanks, they are a couple of hams when I pull out the camera.

Isn't the Grand Floridian great? And we had it all to ourselves that morning!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Those were great updates! Sorry it took me so long to get to them. Been so busy with work and having to go away so much. I'll try not to do it again.

I'm glad you didn't have to kill your little goofballs. What's wrong with fruitloops and chocolate ice cream for breakfast? Its better than my kid's choice of a popsicle. A pound of bacon, a pound of sausage, and a pound of ham?? You're so funny!

That's so cute the way Teddy Bear was looking at Mary Poppins. When we met her, she scolded Shane for putting too much sugar in his coffee (yes, I let my kids drink coffee, too). She said, "that's more than just a spoonful."

Great pictures of the Grand Floridian. I agree - it is a beautiful place and I would LOVE to stay there someday.

[scottny]

just found your report and read it. looks like your all having so much fun.

Your pics are great.

[Leger13]

Great update OB! I'm SO jealous of your picture of the kids and Alice & Mad Hatter. I can never seem to find them

Glad the breakfast was a blast. And the GF is Beautiful!! I loved walking around it too!! It's just gorgeous.
