Great TR so far. I've been reading it since I got to work this morning...now since i've caught up I should probably get to work .

The cookie baking sounds like fun! That is funny about the egg. haha! Can't wait to hear about MGM...and see more pictures!

 

[NMAmy]

so when I got down to where they were and didn't see them right away I freaked out and started crying and told Bryan that we probably don't deserve to be parents He quickly told me that he knew where they were and had been watching them the whole time and that they were as lucky to have us as parents as we were blessed to have them as children!

Oh, honey, we all have those bad parent moments. Cait was the opposite way when she was young--she was terrified of getting lost and always had a piece of my clothing in her grasp. My bad mommy moment comes from me saying, "For heaven's sake, could you BACK OFF just a smidge? I promise not to lose you!" Every time I would turn around, I'd be knocking her down.

I'm hoping you had a blast at MGM and I can't wait to read about it!

[dismom9761]

Several people have mentioned how cool it was for the boys to get their hair done.I just thought I would tell thet you can also get this done in MK at the Barbershop.My DS9 and DD8 got it done there and it also cost $10 .

dddisrunner,do you know how often they do the Jr. Chef?

 

[Bondfan531]

Whew! Finally caught up with your TR! That picture of your boys holding hands is priceless!!! Blow that one up and frame it for sure!!!

I've also experienced the "Where's my child" thing before, in the Riverwalk in New Orleans in April 2005. Scared the poop out of me!!!!

Can't wait to read more!!

Thanks for reassuring me that I am not the only one who has had moments like these! Too funny about telling Cait to back off! Now you're upset when she wants to go off on her own! You just can't win!

Great TR! Am looking forward to your adventures at MGM!

Day 6 MGM

We get our usual wake up call at 7:00am! Eric jumps up and is raring to go MGM is his favorite because he is a complete Star Wars NUT! So we are up, dressed, fed and out the door by 7:50. We get to the MGM bus stop with one other family. The bus comes immediately and we get on! About 12 other people join us and then we are on our way! we arrive at MGM about 8:25 and are the 1st ones lined up at the turnstile! We have NEVER been 1st in line before. This is when I knew today would be a great day! A CM comes over to us and asks the boys if this is our 1st visit? We say no so then she gives them each a pin that says "Grand Gatherings" the boys were excited. Then she tells them that they are going to be her line testers so at 8:40 she lets them go through the turnstiles and then Bryan and I! we were so excited and I could hear grumblings of the people behind us saying "Hey let us in too!" Sorry! So Bryan took our passes and made his way right up to the rope so he could run to get FP's for Rock -n- Roller Coaster. Here is a pic. he took while waiting so cool with no people in front of him........

while Bryan is doing this the boys and I go and get the stroller. Yet another slow moving CM! Come on people get your act together!
We eventually get our stroller and make our way towards the rope and see that the little show that opens the park has started.....

Once the park opens, the boys and I head to Tower of Terror and park the stroller and wait for Bryan. 10 seconds later he shows up He says he was the 1st one to the FP machines. We hurry into the line and go right in. Eric LOVED this ride in August and was sooo excited to ride again. We got put in the front row and off we went! Let me tell you being in the front makes a HUGE difference in the experience of the ride. We got dropped between 6-8 times and poor little Eric lost his mind! Our ride photo is hilarious. Eric is looking up at me with a look of horror on his face!
Next up was the Great Movie Ride it was awesome because we didn't have to wait nor watch the preshow movie!

The boys loved this ride. We sat right in the front row next to the driver and when we got to the scene with Mugsy, he jumped in the vehicle right next to us and kept teasing the boys like...if they didn't behave they were gonna get it! It was so funny! When we came out of the Great Movie Ride we FP'ed The Little Mermaid Show. I had yet to see this and it was a "must do" for me. The boys were a little reluctant but they really didn't have a choice!

We then made our way over to Star Tours. I don't ride this, the simulator rides make me sick! So while Bryan and the boys went on I called to find out if the Stormtroopers would be out today and just as the CM came back on the line I see them walking out HOLY CRAP, Eric is going to lose it! Oh no where are they hurry up,hurry up! After what seemed like an eternity they finally come out of the ride and I am standing at the edge of the gift shop yelling and waving my arms like a lunatic for them to hurry up! They make it outside just in the nick of time!

Then we head over to Muppetvision 3-D. Eric is not a huge fan of this show and of course holds nothing back as he yells " I am sick of wearing these glasses" I finally tell him this is the last time he has to wear them on this trip and that seems to please him! After we leave Muppets, Bryan runs back to FP Tower of Terror (we're hoping Eric will go on again ) and we head to Toy Story Pizza Planet for lunch and get this picture on the way...

Eric did not want to get in this picture because he just wanted to eat but we made him Now you get to see his little attitude face!

Coming up next lunch and the rest of the day

 

[NMAmy]

Now that is a GREAT picture! Makes me wish it was like that all the time.

Hey, I see you found Caitlin's boyfriend! I love that my 16 yo was terrified of this guy and yet little bitty Eric looks like he's in 7th heaven!

Eric did not want to get in this picture because he just wanted to eat but we made him Now you get to see his little attitude face!

Oh, my gosh, you are the meanest mommy EVER. Making him stop to get a picture with Woody instead of eating. I love his attitude face.

Great installment, my friend! I'm impressed you got everyone on ToT. I can't get Caitlin to ride that one anymore.

WELCOME BONDFAN! I'm telling you I can't imagine a worse feeling than thinking you lost your child! I fully intend on framing that picture! Thanks for joining us!

Your trip sounds like it was wonderful! Can't wait to hear the rest! Your boys are too precious!!

Thanks so much!

 

[dddisrunner]

Oh Amy I totally forgot about Cait and the stormtrooper! That is so funny! You'll have to show her that picture!

Day 6 continued.........

So we head of to Toy Story Pizza Planet for lunch. The boys had requested it and were really looking forward to it!........

I thought the food was actually pretty good and you get ALOT of it with the Dining Plan. Here is Eric enjoying his pizza!

After lunch we were sooo full! We walked outside and Bryan took this picture of the muppet fountain.

Miss Piggy is a woman after my own heart!

Then we went to go find the Monsters!

It was so funny because Sully kept knocking Matthew's hat off and Matthew was laughing so hard!

We left these guys and made our way to the backlot tour. It was empty! there were only about 15 other people on the tram with us! Here are a few pictures from Catastrophe Canyon!

Afterwards the Eric had fun posing with all the Star Wars memorabilia!

Then we went back to use our FP's for The Little Mermaid. I LOVED this show. I thought it was adorable! Even the boys said they liked it! Right after Bryan ran and FP'ed Star Tours then we went over to use our Rock -n-Roller Coaster FP's! Matthew had bailed on us for Expedition Everest so we were expecting him to do the same here. Much to our surprise he went on with Bryan first and loved it! I was so proud of him for conquering his fear that I actually had tears in my eyes! Then he and I went on and as we're waiting in line I got so nervous and grabbed Matthew's hand and he said "Mom, it's no big deal" Wow have the tables turned or what! I survived and remebered how much I LOVE this ride! We took this pic. on our way out!

Next up Tower of Terror again! We convinced Eric to go on We get all the way to the Elevator and Eric tells the bellhop " DO NOT PUT US IN THE FRONT" we all went hysterical We only got dropped 3 or 4 times and we were seated in the back so this "trip" was much more acceptable to Eric!

The boys headed back over to use there Star Tours FP's and I ran to get drinks for the next showing of Lights,Motors,Action! We got the boys soda and I got Bryan and I some frozen drinks! I went to meet them at the entrance of the show and I hear the CM say to the people running in "Hurry Please we need to put up these ropes and then no one else will be allowed in! I'm thinking GREAT WHERE IS MY FAMILY? I'm standing hear with these drinks dripping all over me COME ON! Finally they meet up with me and we are literally the LAST people let in!



I have to go pick up Matthew from school, I will post more later...............

 

[DisneyJo]

Great MGM day, your boys are brave doing RnR

 

[fizz13]

Eric's grumpy face is exactly the same as my DS5 face Its funny but not funny when you're there living it. Well done to Matthew for overcoming his fear A great day,
