A newbie, a nana, two princess, and......the Planner! (Updated 1/4--DTD & head home)

Aww dinner looked pretty good at CRT. I love the mice...they are so adorable! When we went there for dinner the one looked at my promise ring and thought it was my engagement ring (was on the same finger) and she kissed my hand. Matt was worried she was going to give away the engagement b/c they came around before dessert and thats when he did it. We did breakfast at the castle this past trip, which is mostly the princesses. We met Alice, belle, snow white, aurora and of course cinderella was downstairs in the lobby for pictures. I've heard that the food isn't that great at the castle either, but I still love to eat there just because its the castle and its pretty cool. Your desserts look so yummy! Did you do the dinning plan? I can't wait to hear about animal kingdom. I love animal kingdom, but its always like 10-15 degrees hotter there it seems and also we always pick like the hottest day to go it seems like. Loved the pics can't wait to see and hear more! :thumbsup2
 
OMG look at that eyeball dessert. I wonder what it was...a cake maybe? My DS would have loved that. :goodvibes Those chicken nuggest look yum! I'd probably order that with a side of buttered tortellini. I wonder if they'd let me? I am not much for breakfast in the castle but the dinner menus don't appeal to me either. Dessert looks good though. :thumbsup2

I love the pics in front of the fountain. That's a pretty spot.

We were on the Deluxe Dining Plan and we will be again in January. We did have some credits left over, but to me it's worth it to be able to eat where ever we want and not have to think about what we can "afford" to order. It will probably also work better in January because it will just be me and DH and we have a more set plan of action........we know what we really want to see and do.

I had actually tried to get us breakfast reservations for the castle, but they were completely full on the days that would work for us. The food was ok, and I wasn't real thrilled with the appetizer choices, but the desserts were definitely good.

We got off to a rough start at Animal Kingdom, but it turned out to be an ok day.

OMG look at that eyeball dessert. I wonder what it was...a cake maybe? My DS would have loved that. :goodvibes Those chicken nuggest look yum! I'd probably order that with a side of buttered tortellini. I wonder if they'd let me? I am not much for breakfast in the castle but the dinner menus don't appeal to me either.

I love the pics in front of the fountain. That's a pretty spot.

I think there was some sort of cake in the eyeball dessert. Anna didn't really eat much of her chicken nuggets, but Addy ate some along with her pasta and seemed to enjoy them. Of course, she enjoys most everything :laughing: .

I agree that the pics in front of the fountain were nice. Addy is so silly though. The minute I've got her she gets all comfortable and the thumb goes automatically in the mouth and her hand usually goes in my hair. Then, as you can probably tell, the minute she goes to dad she's trying to run off and play.
 
Ok, we're having a pretty easy day here, so I'm going to try to get an update done now and maybe another one later.

On this day, we didn't get up quite as early because our ADR for Tusker House wasn't until 10:10. We still gave ourselves over an hour of travel time, and we thought that would be enough. Here are a few pics of me and Addy before we left the hotel room........don't mind my crazy hair.........it wasn't completely dry yet.

Well, once we were all dressed, we headed for the bus stop.........there were a ton of people there, and it turns out they were all waiting to go to Animal Kingdom :scared1: . A bus finally got there, but it got completely full before we could even get close. Another bus came, but it was almost completely full before it even got to our stop. We didn't get on it either :confused3 . The driver called on the radio and told them to send another bus, but it was probably a good 20 minutes before it go there. We did get on that one, but by the time we got to Animal Kingdom, it was almost 10:30.........since we didn't know where Tusker House was, I figured there was no point of even trying to check in late. I was really frustrated, and the park was really busy, so we even talked about going to a different park, but we had Yak & Yeti reservations for that afternoon, and Adam was really excited about eating there, so we decided to stay.

I took a few pictures of the Tree of Life when we walked in, and Anna looked at me and said, "Mommy, why are you taking pictures of that tree?" :laughing: Once we got closer and she could see all the animals in it, she understood.

I also took a picture of this, just because I thought it was pretty. I love the theming at Animal Kingdom!
DisneyWorld181.jpg


Once we got oriented, we all decided that we were starving! However, Adam and I knew that we needed to ride Kali and Everest before my mom left because we weren't sure if Anna would ride them with us. We headed to Kali, and Anna decided she would ride with us, so mom and Addy waited while we went on. There was basically no wait. We rode with a nice family, so that was good too. However, as expected, we got soaked! It wasn't very warm yet that morning, so it was a bit chilly when we got off. We all enjoyed the ride though.

Once we got off, we knew we needed to go somewhere that we could get some food. We ended up at the first place that we came to.........which I'm pretty sure was Restaurantosaurus. DH had a double cheeseburger and fries, I had a cheeseburger and fries, my mom had a hot dog and fries, and Anna got the chicken nuggets again. We got applesauce and grapes for her and fed the applesauce and a couple chicken nuggets to Addy. Anna also shared some fries and the chocolate cake that we all got for dessert. The food was ok, but mom really liked the topping bar they had for the hot dog (it had sauerkraut and stuff on it). Once we all got some food in us, we all felt a little better.

Adam ran over to Everest and got us Fastpasses so we could ride before my mom left............I don't think Anna was tall enough to ride this, but I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have anyway. Then, he met us at Dinosaur. The standby line was short, so we decided to give the baby swap a try. This is the one and only time we did this during our trip, but it worked really well. Adam and I rode first (Anna didn't want to), and when we got off, Adam rode with my mom (because Anna was insisting that I had to stay with her).

By the time we got off, Adam and I basically had to sprint across the park before our fastpases expired! Mom and the girls ended up waiting for us in the same restaurant that we had eaten lunch in, mostly because there was good air conditioning and it was getting pretty warm. Adam and I got there with about 5 minutes to spare (thank goodness Adam has a good sense of direction), and we LOVED it! I have to say, even though I knew that it went backwards, that part was a little disconcerting. Dh didn't know that it did that, and he was pretty surprised! We did buy the picture for this one, but, once again, I haven't scanned it yet.

By the time we got done riding and made it back to my mom, Addy was getting a little cranky, so she decided to go back to the hotel. We had an early supper scheduled (4:30), so she just decided that she and Addy would just eat at the hotel and see us when we got back. We all walked up to the front with them.

Once we got them safely to the bus, Anna decided she wanted to see some characters, so we headed for Camp Mickey Minnie. We did take a few pictures first though.

On the way there, we saw these at the DVC booth and had to stop. Anna loves taking pictures with these things :).

DisneyWorld190.jpg


DisneyWorld191.jpg


I couldn't quite get her lifted high enough for this one :rotfl: .

Continued in next post :) I've got a restless little one here, so I'll be back to finish up in a little bit.
 

Ok, I got the little one down for her nap, so lets see if I can get this day finished up :) .

Adam thought that these were really cute and insisted that we needed to take pictures.
DisneyWorld198.jpg

DisneyWorld200.jpg


DisneyWorld201.jpg


The first character we saw, and waited for (Anna's not much for lines) was Pocohontas.
DisneyWorld197.jpg


Chip and Dale were just coming back from a break.
DisneyWorld203.jpg


DisneyWorld204.jpg


Then we saw the bears from Brother Bear.......honestly, I've never seen this whole movie, but Anna and I did watch most of it on the Disney channel one day, so she did know who they were.
DisneyWorld205.jpg


DisneyWorld207.jpg


DisneyWorld209.jpg


We also saw Goofy, but all the pictures are on the Photopass CD. We got some cute ones, so I'll post them when it gets here.

We grabbed Fastpasses for the Safari, and then did some wandering around.
DisneyWorld210.jpg


DisneyWorld212.jpg


DisneyWorld214.jpg


Anna decided that she wanted an ice cream, so this time we chose the Mickey Ice Cream bar.
DisneyWorld216.jpg


DisneyWorld218.jpg


Right next to the ice cream cart was one of the kid's stations. You had to reach into the log and guess what you were touching. Anna thought it was pretty fun.

We did a little more walking......

We bought a few new pins......

And Anna decided that she wanted to get her face painted. They did an awesome job......much better than a few days later at Hollywood Studios when she had it done again.
DisneyWorld233.jpg


DisneyWorld235.jpg


DisneyWorld236.jpg


Then Anna decided that I needed to have it done too. I figured, Why not? She tried to convince Adam to do it too, but they didn't have any on the sign that he liked.
DisneyWorld237.jpg


DisneyWorld238.jpg


DisneyWorld240.jpg

We decided to walk a few of the trails because it still wasn't quite time for our fastpasses.

Safari in the next post.
 
By the time we got done walking the trails, it was time to use our fastpasses, and we knew that we'd better head that way or we wouldn't make it our ADRs in time.

We have TONS of pictures from the Safari...........DH and I kept passing the camera back and forth because we were sitting on opposite sides.

Yak and Yeti in next post.
 
By the time we got off the Safari, it was time to head for our ADR at Yak & Yeti. We had heard lots of great things about this restaurant, so we were really looking forward to it. I had to take a couple more picturs of the Tree on the way there.
DisneyWorld327.jpg


DisneyWorld328.jpg


I have to say, this restaurant has AWESOME themeing. It is very nicely decorated. We were seating immediately, and we could see the parade that was just starting outside one of the windows.
DisneyWorld329.jpg


DisneyWorld330.jpg


DisneyWorld337.jpg


This is a copy of the drink menu........DH had a beer, and I think I had the Bonsai Blast (the waitress recommended it) which was pretty good. I was wishing that I had gotten something frozen though.
DisneyWorld331.jpg


DisneyWorld333.jpg


DisneyWorld334.jpg


At this point, I was starting to not feel so great. I had been having some real problems with acid reflux/ulcer before we left, but it had been better, so I wasn't really expecting any problems. We went ahead and ordered. I had the fried green beans for an appetizer and DH had the egg rolls. Both were VERY good.
DisneyWorld335.jpg


DisneyWorld336.jpg


For dinner, Adam had the steak and shrimp (at my recommendation from the DISboards :) ), and I had the sweet and sour chicken. Anna had the kids chicken nuggets again.......she's really not a very adventurous eater.
DisneyWorld340.jpg


DisneyWorld338.jpg


DisneyWorld339.jpg


For dessert, I had the fried wontons (thanks OneTreeHillAddict :) ) and DH had the Mango pie. He had really wanted the brownie sundae, but it has nuts in it and he is extremely allergic. Anna had a kids sundae again. She really didn't eat much here and we ended up taking it back to the resort with us.
DisneyWorld341.jpg


DisneyWorld342.jpg


DH declared this the best meal of the trip..........even at the end of the week when we'd eated everywhere else. It really was VERY good. It was the one place that he's asked to go back to in January. Since my stomach was a little upset, I didn't really get to eat as much as I wanted to anyway, so I'm more than happy to go back.
 
By the time we were done eating, I was feeling pretty awful. However, earlier in the day we had promised Anna that we would go back to Dinorama so that she could play a few of the carnival games (DH and I had wanted to ride Primeval Whirl, but it was closed). I took a few pictures on the way over (of course).
DisneyWorld343.jpg


DisneyWorld345.jpg


DisneyWorld346.jpg


We told her that she could play 4 games, but if that she didn't win anything that was still all she got to do because the games were a little pricey. She didn't win in the first two, but she finally won on the third try, so she was happy with that.
DisneyWorld350.jpg


I also took a few pictures while we were there.
DisneyWorld349.jpg


DisneyWorld351.jpg


DisneyWorld352.jpg


DisneyWorld353.jpg


DisneyWorld355.jpg


DisneyWorld356.jpg


Once we were done here, it was definitely time to go. We headed for the buses and luckily didn't have to wait very long. By the time we got back to the hotel, my stomach was killing me. This is the only time during the trip that it go this bad. I ended up spending the rest of the evening laying in bed with a heating pad on my stomach. It was almost like Addy could tell I wasn't feeling very well because she was very cuddly, which she hardly ever is.

Mom, DH, and Anna walked over to the main building to get a snack and fill our mugs. Also, mom had gotten Anna a charm bracelet and she wanted Anna to pick out a charm.

We did get a few cute pictures of Addy before bedtime.
DisneyWorld358.jpg


DisneyWorld359.jpg


She likes to run away with our shoes..........we have MANY unmatched pairs at any given time :laughing: .
DisneyWorld360.jpg


We all tried to go to bed fairly early because we had an early ADR at Ohana the next morning.
 
On Thursday, we had an ealry breakfast scheduled for 8:00 at Ohana. We had been really looking forward to this because DH's favorite character is Stitch. Luckily I was feeling better by this morning.

We took a bus, which it took us a little while to catch, to the Magic Kingdom and then hopped on the monorail to the Polynesian. We got checked in, took our picture (we really didn't care for this one), and got seated very quickly.

First they brought out the bread
DisneyWorld362.jpg


and the fruit
DisneyWorld361.jpg
.
This is probably some of the best fruit we had while we were at Disney. They brought out the platter shortly thereafter. It had sausage, bacon, eggs.....the usual breakfast stuff and they brought Mickey waffles around. The waffles were fresh and wonderful. I have to honestly say that this is one of the best breakfasts we had. DH and I also liked that it was family style rather than the buffets that most are.

We got some good pictures...once again trying to keep Addy away from the characters.

After breakfast, we checked out the resort a little and then headed for the dock because DH really wanted to take the boat back to the Magic Kingdom.
DisneyWorld373.jpg

DisneyWorld376.jpg


DisneyWorld377.jpg


DisneyWorld379.jpg


After breakfast, we decidd to head to the hotel for a little down time since I hadn't been feeling well. Mom, Addy, and I took a nap in mom's room. We tried to convince Anna to take one too since we had the MNSSHP that night, but she wasn't interested. She ended up playing under the covers and falling asleep anyway :rotfl: . When Addy woke up from her nap, I took her over to Adam and slept a little longer. By the time I woke up again, it was time to get ready to go to the Magic Kingdom for Anna & Adam's Bibbiddi Bobbiddi Boutique ADRs.
 
Wow! I go to work all day and don't check the dis and I come back and you've wrote tons of updates. Thats awesome! :thumbsup2 Looks like you had a great time at AK. You had pretty good luck on the safari too...what time of day did you go on that? We didn't see nearly as many animals and you guys did. That baby elephant is so freakin' cute! Sorry your stomach wasn't feeling the best...I have issues with mine to although I stopped going to the dr before they could diagnose me b/c I was sick of being a science experiment. They did lots of tests and I went to about three different docs and nobody knew what was wrong so I just live with it now. Maybe someday when I get the courage I'll go back and have them figure it out. Most of the time its under control but every now and again it gets so bad I could cry. I think its ulcers b/c I stress about stuff that I really shouldn't stress about, but whatever. I love all the pictures! The bread and fruit at ohana look delicious! I would like to try eating there sometime if we aren't doing it this next trip(dh emailed his boss today asking for time off...no email back yet, but keep your fingers crossed:)) I haven't ate at yak and yetti either, but it sounded pretty good. The pictures of addy before bed are adorable I just want to squeeze her little cheeks....so cute! Can't wait to hear more! :goodvibes
 
Love the scuba pictures! Awww, look at your's and Anna's face paint. So cute. I might let mine do this. Is it expensive? Wow! You guys saw a ton of animals on Safari! Look at all those gators. Geez. And the baby elephant with it's mommy. So cute! I love the babies. That's a beautiful picture you took of the Tree Of Life. We loved the Yak n Yeti! How cool to have a seat where you can see the parade going on! I never even thought about that. Ya know what's funny? Our DH's had the same exact food. (Same app & entree) So how did you like the fried wontons???? OMG I would do crazy things to get me one of those right now. I hope you can order that to go. Those pics of Everest....the park looks empty!? I don't think I've ever seen it like that. I wonder how much longer Primeval Whirl will be closed? I wonder if it has anything to do with that CM getting killed on it? I've never ridden it but DS and DH did last Summer and they said it shakes you to death...that it's really jerky. Of course Dinosaur is too. I plan to bypass Dinosaur this time. Addy's bedtime pictures are so cute! The shoe thing is too cute! Your food pics are awesome by the way!

Yep, I was busy yesterday. The little one was being pretty cooperative, so I figured I better get it done while I could. It was mid afternoon, probably around 3 or 3:30 when we went on the safari. The baby elephant was my favorite part :).

I've had stomach problems for a long time too. Some doctors call it an ulcer, some call it IBS. Whatever I guess.........I just started some new medicine for it, so I guess we'll see how that goes.

I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed for you. I can't wait until you know for sure whether or not you get to go!

We really like both Ohana and Yak & Yeti. We're going back to both of them in January.

Addy definitely has chubby little cheeks. Both of the girls are such sweethearts, and I can't help but love showing them off. Most of them time they're pretty good kids too. Addy has quite the temper though. If you make her mad, you're going to hear about it...........well, you and anyone within a one mile radius :lmao: .

I hadn't heard about the CM getting killed on Primeval Whirl. I just thought that it was close for refurbishment. If it is jerkier than Dinosaur, that is pretty bad! The baby elephant was my favorite part of the Safari.........it was just so cute to see him tagging along after his mommy :lovestruc .

We loved Yak & Yeti, and the wontons were AWESOME!!! DH was just going to order the shrimp, but I talked him into the steak and shrimp, and he was really glad that I did. He pretty much cleaned his plate. I'm glad you think the food pictures are good. We didn't get pictures at every meal, but I intend to when we go in January. I figure it will be easier when it's just us. With the girls, I was too busy trying to get things cut up so they could start eating.

Yeah, I don't know what it is with Addy and shoes. She does it at home too, and then we spend like an hour searching for the match because she's pretty good at hiding them.
 
They both seem very sweet! I love sweet little kids...its normal to have chubby cheeks when they are little...I think its some kind of rule or something so that everyone can say they want to squeeze them. Hehe. Also I know about tempers...I got mine from my dad. Don't worry...I started to get it under control around age 22 and I'm 24 now. :rotfl2: It still can flare, but for the most part I can diffuse a situation before it gets to the point where I am super mad. Not to mention half the time it isn't worth being mad. Life is to short. My dad had cancer about three yrs ago...he is in remission, but I def rethink going to bed mad and grudges and being mad about stupid stuff. Sometimes its just not worth it. For instance dh's brother in law was very rude to dh's mom when she went to visit them and their little ones in mississippi. Long story short he slammed the door in her face and told her to get out of his house. I just feel like if he was a bigger man they could have talked about their differences and moved on and now there there is tension in the family...its just not cool. Dh's mom does a lot for them (for anyone she is very kind) she...along with her husband have flown them in to town on more than one occasion. Christmas, my wedding, thanksgiving. Let them stay at their house (all of this for free and didn't even ask for anything in return) and even payed for the hotel when they came for my wedding and she buys those three grandbabies so many clothes and not just a wal mart special she buys ralph lauren, gymboree (she gets incredible deals on these so she isn't just throwing the money down but still.) I just think that he isn't really in the position to be treating them like poo when they have done so much for him and dh's sister. I guess thats an example of someone who didn't grow out of their temper, but then again he hasn't grown up either:rotfl2: Have a great day I'm off to get ready for work!

I definitely think that both of my babies are sweethearts, but I'm a little biased :lovestruc . Addy definitely gets her temper from her daddy.........she looks just like him, and she acts just like him :laughing: . He's 28, and I'm not sure he has his temper completely under control.

I definitely agree with holding grudges. It's not worth it in the long run. Everyone makes mistakes, and the best thing you can do is work through mistakes. Sometimes taking the time to work through them can actually make the relationship stronger.

We had kind of a rough day today.......I took Anna back to the doctor's office, and they think that her eardrum ruptured :guilty: . The infection isn't getting better, and now she's having a lot of drainage from it, and she's still having a lot of pain. They're making a referral to a specialist, but I have no idea how long it will take to get her into see him. I just wish that I could do something to help her.
 
I want to start this by saying that I had gotten a little nervous after reading several reports saying that the BBB in the castle was not the place to go. I had really wanted this to be special for Anna, and she is very sensitive, so I knew she would notice if something wasn't quite right. I have to say, and I'm VERY glad that I can say this, it turned out to be wrong in our case. Our FGIT was wonderful, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We got into the castle to check in, and they told us that they were running about 30 minutes behind. The place was packed, and they kind of encouraged us to go walk around a little and come back. We decided to go find some popcorn, and it ended up taking us almost the entire 30 minutes to find a place that we could get some.

Almost immediately when we got back, Anna was called to pick out her costume and accessories and go change. Before we could even finish getting her completely dressed, they were already calling her name to be made over.

The FGIT was named Laura and, as it turned out, happened to be from Kansas like us. We thought that was pretty cool. She was wonderful and ended up doing DH's Cool Dude when Anna was done. We have tons of pictures from this, and even more on the photopass cd.

I would definitely recommend requesting Laura at the Castle BBB. However, she's no longer there. She told us that she was going back home two weeks from the day we were there :( We couldn't have asked or a better experience, and Anna absolutely loves it. She can't wait to go back the next time we're at Disney. She was a little disappointed that she had to get the Tinkerbelle outfit, but we've promised her that the next time she can pick whatever dress and whatever hairdo she wants. Definitely a magical experience for us :wizard: .
 
When Anna was finished, Laura did Adam's cool dude. She even let Anna help, which was really cute. As you can tell by the look on his face, he was less than thrilled, but he knew Anna was excited about it, so he did it and didn't say anything.

I guess this is what comes from having two little girls, but he'll get used to it sooner or later :) . He loves his little girls, and he'd do anything for them. I think this only proves that. Laura let Anna help put the Mickey confetti in Adam's hair, so he ended up with a TON of it.

The Mickey head in the back ended up getting smeared before we could get a picture of it, but I did get this picture of the top of his head before he shook too much of it off.

The Bibbiddi Bobbiddi Boutique was agreat experience all the way around, and we will definitely be doing it again! After both Adam and Anna were finished, we headed to Town Hall to do the photo session. Luckily, we were eating at Tony's which is in the same building so we were able to keep track of time and things. I snapped a couple of pictures on the walk over.

The photo session went really well, and the photographer was great about letting me get the pictures with my camera too. There are lots more on the photopass cd, but they pretty much look just like mine.
