An Unforgettable Finish- Oct 2011 TR **Happily Ever After (Completed 5/3)

[jc040404]

So I do not like Duffy. I reeeeeallly dislike Duffy.. But these pics are the best! You can't help but smile to see how much the boys are loving him! Too cute!!

Hope this dinner idea works out for you!!

 

[marDgreen88]

Oh my gosh, I thought the Minnie/Goofy pics were precious but the Duffy ones are just adorable! I think Duffy is just so cute. I mean he's just a big teddy bear, of course kids love him! I mean, even I love him.

 

[teachermommy78]

I am all caught up, finally!!!! The boys keep getting cuter and cuter. And I am so pleased to see that you are successfully eating at table service restaurants! Woohoo!!!!

 

[PirateKate]

OMG, I love the Duffy meet and greet! They just look so happy. I mean, who wouldn't want to meet a big, fluffy bear? Tearing them away must have been difficult. Action shots were the way to go. So much cuter than posed.

I loved the Duffy meet and greet, too! Carter and Landon were really excited and you could tell they were very impressed with Duffy. He must have seemed like the best teddy bear ever. It was really hard tearing them away. I thought the action shots were cute. It captures the moment better than posed anyway.

The pictures of the boys with Duffy are some of the cutest pictures EVER!!! That's just so sweet!

Can't wait to hear if dinner in the stroller went well or not. I could see that going either way....

I love the one where Landon's looking up at the camera. They were both so happy with Duffy.

I could see it going either way, too. We probably were crazy to try it and should have eaten at the Electric Umbrella.

Your boys are turning into character hounds! Such cute pictures with Duffy.

Glad you got to sample some more food and wine treats! (or at least I think that you did )

They sure are! I can't believe they like the characters that much, but it's a lot of fun.

Well, you never know what will happen when traveling with two little guys...

You know I always thought Duffy was a pretty silly idea, but the more I see of him...I realize he is a pretty cool bear!!

I know, I always thought the idea of Duffy was silly, too, but he's really been growing on me lately. I suppose it helps that Carter and Landon love him so much.

It is very obvious that they made Duffy just to sell lots of Duffy the Disney Bears. I didn't like him at first, but he's won me over, just because my boys love him so much. He's not so bad, really. The bedtime story with Duffy that comes on resort TV at night is kind of cute.

It kind of sounds like a bad idea looking back on it. We probably should have made different plans, but I just didn't want to leave yet.

Oh my gosh, I thought the Minnie/Goofy pics were precious but the Duffy ones are just adorable! I think Duffy is just so cute. I mean he's just a big teddy bear, of course kids love him! I mean, even I love him.

Thanks! Carter and Landon were more excited over Duffy than any other character they had met. Duffy is pretty cute, too. I'm sure Carter and Landon thought he was the best teddy bear they'd ever seen.

I am all caught up, finally!!!! The boys keep getting cuter and cuter. And I am so pleased to see that you are successfully eating at table service restaurants! Woohoo!!!!

I'm so glad the boys are able to handle more table service restaurants now. I think when they were little babies, we were smart to skip it, but it's so much fun going to a table service restaurant now and then.

[amandaw]

Those little boys of yours are such naturals with the characters. They just love them! I know I keep saying it, but they're just adorable!

I'll have to tell Ed about the sausage pretzel thing at the Germany kiosk. Sounds like something he'd enjoy. Hopefully, they'll have it again this year.

I can't believe the Chewy Caramel Bar was a letdown! At least you didn't let it get you down!

 

[marDgreen88]

I don't think Landon would have had a very fun time swimming in that water! Hahaha.

Oh my gosh, Mexican Donald. I have to meet Mexican Donald. Once again, such cute pictures!

Noooo! Not the chewy caramel bar! That's just so sad.

 

[shan23877]

I'll bet that Landon was right. Donald probably did want to meet him more than those other people. Great pictures again, and I love that your boys shake hands before they leave.

Sorry the boys didn't share more of the cheese plate. I imagine that you'll be getting smaller and smaller portions as they grow.

So sorry that your chewy caramel bar was a disappointment. I'd still like to try on our next trip. You talked them up so much, I've gotta see what it's all about!

 

[afwdwfan]

I'm glad that the stroller wheel was under warranty and your problem was easily resolved. It makes me feel a little bit better about having a City mini now.

The boys really seemed to love Duffy. Those are some great pictures, even if they didn't want to pose for the camera. We had no pictures with or of Duffy from our trip. DW hates him and refuses to even acknowledge his existance.

I have to think that your chewy caramel bar just wasn't a good one. I tried one and I was quite impressed by it. Maybe since they were out last time, they started mass producing too many and you got a day old one?

 

[Queenofallthings]

Those pictures are adorable and better than any posed shot you could have gotten! Love them!

Thanks! I never get tired of hearing my boys are adorable. If I had known how much they'd like the characters, I would have taken them sooner.

I had fairly low expectations for the sausage in a pretzel roll, but it was actually pretty good. I hope they have it next year, too.

I couldn't believe it either! The Chewy Caramel Bar is never supposed to disappoint. It would only have gotten me down if they had been out of them.

I don't think Landon would have had a very fun time swimming in that water! Hahaha.

Oh my gosh, Mexican Donald. I have to meet Mexican Donald. Once again, such cute pictures!

Noooo! Not the chewy caramel bar! That's just so sad.

I don't know, Landon might have enjoyed the taste of Pirate water...

Mexican Donald is the coolest! I love finding the characters dressed up. Thanks!

I know! A bad chewy caramel bar is so unexpected, too.

I'll bet that Landon was right. Donald probably did want to meet him more than those other people. Great pictures again, and I love that your boys shake hands before they leave.

In a way, I suppose Landon was right. Certainly no one else in line was as excited to meet Donald as Landon was. I love that they shake hands, too. I think they've learned that after they shake hands, their turn is about over.

That's true...maybe when they're teenagers we'll get the deluxe dining plan for them and they can eat as much as they can.

I'd definitely still give one a try on your next trip. Perhaps not all chewy caramel bars are created equal.

I'm glad that the stroller wheel was under warranty and your problem was easily resolved. It makes me feel a little bit better about having a City mini now.

I'm really glad the problem with the wheel was resolved too. Actually just the straw fix was a big relief. It was so frustrating driving around with a messed up wheel. I still think City Mini's are great strollers.s

They do really love Duffy. I've given in to Duffy mania. Someday, I might even buy stuffed Duffy's for the boys. As long as Carter and Landon are enjoying themselves, I don't really care if they pose or not, but it seems to be a big deal to the characters.

That's probably likely. When a chewy caramel bar is good, it's very very good. I'm glad you liked it!

Those pictures are adorable and better than any posed shot you could have gotten! Love them!

Thanks! I kind of like the action shots. They capture the mood a little better than posed, I think.

 

[jc040404]

Tooo funny about the chewie bar looking odd to you.. and then flipping it over. It stinks that it wasn't as good as you remembered.

Love the Donald pics! It is a little annoying that they're always trying to set up that perfect pose when these happy shots are really so much better sometimes. Their posed pic is pretty cute though!

[amandaw]

That's great that dinner while strolling worked!

Sounds like y'all got to try some great F&W selections!

I can't believe that the boys froze in terror at meeting Aurora. I couldn't help it, but it made me giggle. But, only because I could see Reid doing the same thing with a princess.

 

[Shannon84]

Aurora scares me too

I love the way Carter is leaning against Donald, he does look like he could just stop and rest there

I am sad to say I didnt care for the chewy caramel bar I think next time I am just getting a big old piece of caramel by itself

 

[marDgreen88]

Mmm, the food looks good! I'm not sure what escargot is... but it looks like a roll, so in that way, it looks good! Hahah.

Oh my goodness... no princesses for them yet, huh? I love that Aurora said to come back in a few years. That's too funny.

 

[amazingact21]

Aw, the poor boys, apparently princesses are not their forte.

All the W&D food sounds delicious. With that kind of variety and oppurtunities for dishes you don't get very often, I don't see how you didn't spend your whole vacation at Epcot!

I knew it didn't look like I remembered, but I just could think why...and then I turned it over. It was too bad it didn't live up to the hype.

Thanks! I do wish they'd just concentrate on interacting with my boys instead of trying for the perfect picture. I suppose they're probably trained to pose like that with everyone. The posed picture is cute, but I like the others, too.

I was really glad that it worked out! We didn't want to leave Epcot early.

We really did. I loved our F&W day.

I'm not sure if it's that they aren't very familiar with Aurora or if her being a face character freaked them out. It was kind of funny, although I did feel a little bad for them, too. I bet our boys would get along well.

Aurora scares me too

I know, she's pretty frightening!

He had to be so tired that day. I don't know why he'd be willing to sleep on Donald and not in his very comfy stroller.

I'm sorry to hear you didn't like the chewy caramel bar, but on the positive side, there will be more for me. I bet the caramel there is pretty good.

Mmm, the food looks good! I'm not sure what escargot is... but it looks like a roll, so in that way, it looks good! Hahah.

Oh my goodness... no princesses for them yet, huh? I love that Aurora said to come back in a few years. That's too funny.

Escargots are snails. Yummy! They're usually in a garlicky, buttery sauce and are actually quite delicious, if you don't mind the fact that it's a snail.

Nope, no princesses for them. Aurora was really nice about it and she seemed slightly disappointed. Anybody'd want a Carter and Landon hug.

Aw, the poor boys, apparently princesses are not their forte.

All the W&D food sounds delicious. With that kind of variety and oppurtunities for dishes you don't get very often, I don't see how you didn't spend your whole vacation at Epcot!

Apparently not. It was worth a shot, I guess. I wonder if they'd like Rapunzel. They both love Tangled.

If it had just been Jeremy and me, we easily could have spent the whole time at Epcot, but the boys would have mutinied for sure.

 

[KTgE]

Glad the stroller was easily fixed and still under warranty! We'll see how the rental does for the week we are there.

Dinner to go in the stroller...I can see this in our future! Their character interactions are priceless. I'm so glad you've gotten so many wonderful pictures of them. I have several like that from when I was four and I love them to this day!
