Welcome to Wednesday August 27th. Today we are off to Blizzard Beach. Now it’s been several years since I have ventured there, I seem to be a Typhoon Lagoon type of gal. I had been wanting to go back as our own Disney Mom DisneyJo keeps saying how great it is. I let Kelly pick the water park, though, and she too wanted BB.

So on a blazing hot August morning we ventured over to BB. I saw the masses already lined up at 9:30 for a 10 am opening. We went over to where a few people were waiting for the ticket window to open.


And we waited.



Waited some more.


And a little bit more.


Someone then realized the window behind the mass waiting to go in was the opened window.



The window where there was no line.



Because we were all waiting at the window that wasn’t opened.



And no cast members thought to say anything.



So our small little mass went over to the open window and bought our tickets to join the big mass which was now being let into the park. Where we had to wait at another rope drop as one big mass.

At rope drop we headed over the bridge and found a nice shady spot over the hedge from the ski lift, nice easy spot to find our way back because I’m blonde and may or may not have been known to not find my way back to my spot in the water parks. Maybe this has happened before, maybe not. Just sayin’

After we plopped our stuff we headed for the slides, after some confusion we found our way and hit the all the slides, EXCEPT for summit plummet, no way, no how. I did not have my gyno or ortho standing by, they didn’t fit in my suitcase.

We had done everything and it wasn’t even lunch time. Kelly was eager for the wave pool and so was I.

Um, now here is where I got confused. There is no wave pool at BB.


NO.


THERE ISN’T.

What is there, is an oversized tub where too many people float around on too many inner tubes where they proceed to hit those who do not have inner tubes in the head. There are no waves! Just a bobbing type action.

The protective aunt in me took over and knew I had to get Kelly an inner tube, no matter the cost, I was willing to risk bodily harm to myself. What ever it took to protect my goddaughter from those darn inner tubes, even if it meant I would now be subject to getting hit in the head by Kelly’s inner tube. I would take one for the team.

After some bobbing around amongst the inner tubes we decided to have lunch. Ok I don’t really remember what we had, typical CS. I do remember the chocolate chip cookies for dessert and Pluto.


Yeah, Pluto was hanging around the picnic tables.

Now, can you imagine how hot it is in those costumes, bad enough in the regular parks but to be in the WP where everyone is almost nekkid and wet you are in one of those costumes boiling and watching everyone bobbing around in the giant tub.


That must be, shoot I was late to work today and am screwed because I have to hang out at the WP and melt.


Anywho, after lunch we headed back for another ride on a slide and now the lines were bad and it was hot standing there waiting. We called it the day and headed out of there back to BC.

We did have a good time and some laughs, but I will stick with TL from now on.


We showered and changed and had dinner at B&C again. Well I had dinner, Kelly had ice cream. Yeah, yeah, I know, bad aunt, but it was vacation. If you can’t have ice cream for dinner on vacation then when can ya.

Tonight we were to meet up with Tracy at AK EMH. When we got there we headed for EE, this is officially Kelly’s favorite ride.

As we were walking towards Dinoland Tracy texted me that Waldo was sick and had to go to the Dr. I was sorry that I wouldn’t see her one last time and worried about everyone’s favorite Waldo. Kelly then wanted to know why his name was Waldo. I explained about how he wanders and got tagged with the nickname Where’s Waldo. She thought that was hysterical.


It was H-O-T tonight and we all know how AK is in the heat. We called it quits about 7 I think and headed back to BC. Kelly decided she was hungry (remember only ice cream for dinner) so we went through the McD’s drive through on the way back and got McFlurries and Kelly got a small fry too. Yeah yeah I know, but remember it’s vacation and I am not a parent.

When we got back I decided how nice a whirl pool bath would be (and yes it was properly sanitized by me first). I went to add some bath gel and I um, sorta dropped the bottle in and then sort of couldn’t find it. I was covered in bubbles, as was the floor, the walls etc.


It was too funny , I called Kelly in, who doubled over laughing and grabbed the cell and called her mother and then Murph to tell them what I did.

I think this is her fondest memory of the trip.

After cleaning the bubbles up it was nearly time for bed.

Next up: Kelly’s surprise

 

[Goofyluver]

So, lemme get this straight.

1. You feed children ice cream for dinner.

2. You refuse to go for your annual Disney colonic on Summit Plummet.

3. You drown your niece in bubbles.

And you call yourself a good aunt.




























Can you adopt me as your child???

 

[englishrose47]

The bubbles were too funny !! I can see why Kelly laughed !!! I'm not a big waterpark person myself but in August Oh Yeah!! Does the other park have a Wave pool??

 

[DisneyJo]

I had been wanting to go back as our own Disney Mom DisneyJo keeps saying how great it is.

Well it is, for us anyway

Because we were all waiting at the window that wasn’t opened.

How annoying!

I was willing to risk bodily harm to myself. What ever it took to protect my goddaughter from those darn inner tubes, even if it meant I would now be subject to getting hit in the head by Kelly’s inner tube. I would take one for the team.

What a good Auntie

We did have a good time and some laughs, but I will stick with TL from now on.

What!!!!!!! But BB is the best

I was covered in bubbles, as was the floor, the walls etc.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I pretty much agree with you on BB, it is okay but I would rather be at Typhoon Lagoon.

at the bubble incident.

I let Andrew have the Kitchen Sink for dinner one night

Somehow I think this will be the talk of many family dinners to come

I'll stick with my backyard.

Well, if you both are doing it, I'm going to do it for Reid too, when he gets older and is allowed to go to Disney.

 

[lazydoxy66]

Give me a 'lazy river' at a water park and I'm happy.

So you treated Kelly to a Bibbidy Bubbely Boutique. Sounds like fun to me!

 

[kaysmommie]

Enjoyed your BB update. Too bad about the inner tubes they can be annoying but better not to have Kelly run over by them. I love BB but haven't been since 2003 and it was closed in October for refurb. TL is prettier though. Ice Cream for dinner well it's vacation.

 

[jcc0621]

Well, if you both are doing it, I'm going to do it for Reid too, when he gets older and is allowed to go to Disney.

It's allowed as an aunt

Dude, I think we've all been there!

We had done everything and it wasn’t even lunch time. Kelly was eager for the wave pool and so was I.

"Wave pool"???????

Um, now here is where I got confused. There is no wave pool at BB.

That is correct.

We did have a good time and some laughs, but I will stick with TL from now on.

I feel exactly the same! TL's our place.

When we got back I decided how nice a whirl pool bath would be (and yes it was properly sanitized by me first). I went to add some bath gel and I um, sorta dropped the bottle in and then sort of couldn’t find it. I was covered in bubbles, as was the floor, the walls etc.

 

[KatGarcia]

I am all caught up! The visual of you covered in bubbles while Kelly points and laughs while dialing the phoen is cracking me up!!!!

 

[boysmom5150]

NOTES TAKEN:
TL is better than BB
ice cream ok for dinner of vacation
french fries followed by more ice cream is ok for after dinner snack on vacation
bubble baths rule


ok got it
SOunds like a great day MO

BTW my kids would LOVE your rules

I imagine you'd have exceeded your weight limit for your luggage had you brought them along. Maybe next time if you go by car?

Yeah, Pluto was hanging around the picnic tables.

Now, can you imagine how hot it is in those costumes, bad enough in the regular parks but to be in the WP where everyone is almost nekkid and wet you are in one of those costumes boiling and watching everyone bobbing around in the giant tub.

Are dogs even allowed at the waterparks?

Atta girl!

Kelly decided she was hungry (remember only ice cream for dinner) so we went through the McD’s drive through on the way back and got McFlurries and Kelly got a small fry too. Yeah yeah I know, but remember it’s vacation and I am not a parent.

Why did she need fries?





Sounds like a great end to a great day. Isn't it funny how the unexpected things that happen turn into the fondest memories?

 

[askelton]

Why did she need fries?

Because McDonald's fries are quite possibly one of the best things ever. Now if they only were good for you somehow.

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

If the fries are dipped into the ice cream Now that's yummy. Oh, and I figure good for the soul has got to count for something, right?
