The cast
Me – MagicalMom – 33yo – Disney Lover, Commando girl
DH – MagicalDad – 34yo – Likes Disney, just wants to relax
DD – The Teen – 13yo – Loves Disney, I taught her well
DS – The Youth – 9yo – Loves Mickey Mouse – thinks Chef Mickey’s is the greatest place ever!
DS – The Pre-schooler –4yo – Can’t wait to get to Disney to see Mickey, Spongebob & Crash Bandicoot! (think I combined too many Disney & Universal trips?)

It seems like the rain was never going to let up. We headed back to our room to rest. We honestly tried to rest. The Youth called the Teen a name. At least that’s what she said. I didn’t hear it. So, you have to understand, since I didn’t hear she wasn’t just mad that he called her a name, but also because I allowed him to by not correcting him as soon as I heard it. The Teen then called the Youth various names. The Youth responded with more names. What fun!

We turned on the TV. I wanted to watch my favorite Disney show. You know the one where that girl tells you about all the wonderful things you can do. “We watched this last night!” they complained. I tossed the remote to the Teen. The Youth hated every show she picked.

MagicalDad, well, he can sleep through anything. He didn’t even notice a sound.

I gave up. Let’s shop!!!! The boat to DTD wasn’t operating, so we took the bus.

“I want sour Goofy candy!” they all exclaimed as soon as we arrived. Hmmm, they all want it. Hmmmmmmm. Now I know it’s wrong. I know I shouldn’t use things like this to hold over their heads. “We’ll see………………………If you’re good!”

Our First stop was McDonalds. The kids love the big DTD McDonalds. We tried to get in, but couldn’t make our way past the crowd of kid in yellow shirts from Brazil. They blocked the entrance. Eventually we squeezed through. I think next I will make us all matching shirts & I will carry a flag. This way we can truly push our way through the parks commando style. All they have to do is follow my flag & run behind me!

MagicalDad went to order & I went to look for a table. There were plenty of empty tables, but all of them were covered in left over trash. It looked like the kids from Brazil had just got up out of their seats & never even attempted to throw a thing out! I promise that when we come as the troop from Delaware we will throw out our own trash!

After dinner we headed to the World Of Disney. Oh how I love this place! I know I had been here just a few days before, but I had to scour every inch of the store again. Looking for just the right items to purchase. I came across an adorable stuffed Mickey. I knew the Pre-Schooler would love him, I surely did. But, the Pre-Schooler had already spent his allotted funds. So had the other kids. I approached MagicalDad with an idea. How about it we give each kid another 25.00. This way they can shop themselves & leave me alone to look at picture frames……….err………I mean they can shop for more wonderful souvenirs to remember their wonderful magical vacation. Agreed.

The Teen was ecstatic! She ran off to shop. She couldn’t find a single thing for 25.00 that she wanted. Everything she wanted cost much more. You have to understand, if I would have offered her 500.00 then the items she would have wanted would have totaled to 525.00. I gave her a few extra bucks to get an “I love Carbs” pooh shirt because well, I too love carbs.

The Youth looked everywhere. There was nothing he wanted. Off we went with MagicalDad to the Toy Store.

The Youth finally food some wookie blaster that he had to have.

I was ready to go. By this point I was exhausted. Oh yes, the candy. They must have their candy. Fine, get your candy.

It this sugary, sour, powdery stuff that you pour into tubes. They were so excited to pick their flavors & pour their tubes. They quickly ran from flavor to flavor pushing & shoving each other to get just the right mixture of flavor. Yep, just what they needed, sugar.

Oh yeah, I bought a nice, large photo frame & a lithogaph. I had been a very good girl today. MagicalDad bought a new hat.

It really wasn’t such a bad evening. Really. Everyone got what they wanted & sometimes, every now & then, the kids posed together for pictures. Smiles & all.

We headed back to our room exhausted & wet from the never ending rain.

Up next, back to Epcot.
 
Why is it kids work on opposites? You need em awake and they sleep, you need em to sleep, they play :rotfl: I feel your pain. Sounds like a good day,

:rotfl: Kids are born knowing all of those tricks. :)
 
I love this trip report! :rotfl2: You sound like me except my kids are younger! I love how you are so "lucky" to be at the airport several hours early with a bunch of kids!! You are so nice to help your husband "relax" so much on this trip. I'm dying laughing! Come on, what happened next?!? :laughing:
 
I'm trying to finish, I truly am, but the Teen is on the cmputer all night so that makes it harder. Luckily she sleeps in until noon so I can get some things done. :)
 
I have not read too many trip reports, but caught either #4 or #5, and I was hooked. I have read them all, and just wanted to say thank you for your time and effort, they have made me laugh out loud (literally). Glad you had a great trip! :goodvibes
 
Off to neverland I always enjoy your trip reports. :goodvibes

JennaTX, I'm glad you enjoyed the report. Your children areadorable. :)
 
Magicalmom,

I just finished all the installments and just have to say, You should have gone down that slide!!!! Who cares what those grumpy women thought? You'd never see them again, probably.............

Anyway, I think you should make that a top priority on your next trip to WDW. If I'm there at the same time, we'll go together!
