I didn't even see I did that... one was in 06 my bad... I'd better fix that eh...

It's not too bad... you'll be there while I am there... Our first trip was within the window as this one... it'll only be bad memorial weekend because of locals being out an extra day other than that it'll be pretty m anabable... You will it and it's sooo worth it for the free dining!

I am so sorry about your cat. Mine also just died at the end of April, so I know how sad it is.

Tanya, sorry about your cat. I know pets are an extension of our families, any loss is heartbreaking.

Shop…. Play & Dine… ​

So when we last left of we’d tucked in for the evening…. Had a very restful night and slept in till 8:30 this day… Mini and Ry woke when I did so we got ready and I took them to walk around a little and let the guys sleep a little longer. We headed out and went over to the main building for some shopping… We hadn’t done too much of that so I decided it was time…

I know I got Mini a pair of Cinderella Slippers and I recall getting Ry a WDW T-shirt but other than that I have a hard time recalling what I purchased… I know we reached the amounts where u can get a free this and that with purchase of that price plus a few bucks so we got a bit extra and we also finally hit the 500 spending limit so we then went to Concierge desk to have amount “paid” so we had fresh dough in the account…

After all our shopping fun we made our way back to the room… woke dem boys up an d then packed on up to get over to MGM … we had a late breakfast ADR at Hollywood and Vine today!!! We were excited as we’d never been there and the kids love Playhouse Disney.

We did the customary… park your car… bag check… ticket … yadda yadda… and strolled up to Hollywood and Vine… I checked in while DH and Forest got the kiddos out of their strollers… We were called in almost immediately and taken to our seats…

Food there was pretty awesome… I don’t recall anything being bad but I don’t keep good dining notes so sorry for that… All I can say is it was yummy… I would have written something down if it was gross or bad service or something and I didn’t so … there ya have it..

We were visited by June,

Leo,

Goliath

and JoJo

…. It appeared Jojo had a crush on Forest as she would kiss his head and such… and he’d blush… it was hilarious..

Ry had a think with Leo’s glasses and wanted to touch his eyes… Leo would let him and we would giggle… good times were had by all!!

Here mini is dancing during the part where they get up and dance… Once she got up however… she didn’t want to sit anymore… oh well…

Ry enjoyed it too

Before we left I took a pic of Mini in front of some this background..

With breakfast done we decided to relax by the lake for a moment and decide what we wanted to do....but mostly for a smoke break... Thank goodness we quit that habit..


I love this shot of Ry I took while we waited...

Break over we decided to check out the stores a little… make a few purchases and then head on out… We’d already done all we wanted to ride and such at MGM so we didn’t hit any rides..

We then made our customary “off-site” (yeah… I said it… and I’m not taking it back either) stop at a souvie shop we’d found our first trip to Disney to pick up gifts for some of the “extra” folks … coworkers mostly… simple stuff… but we sometimes find cool shirts and other things while we are there…
Shop…. Play & Dine…
After spending about 100 bucks in there we got out and made our way to Publix so we could restock on milk, juice and water… and a few other necessities, along with some meds for DH as he was coming down with a scratchy throat and not feeling so hot (I recall him not feeling better for a good week after we got home)

After we got back to the hotel we decided to rest as we had big plans for the evening… I should say… DH rested… The Raiders were playing Miami so I was watching my boys… I don’t recall if they beat Miami or not but I couldn’t believe which one of us was sleeping and which one was watching sports lol…

UP NEXT…. Can I trick him??? Do you think he’ll fall for it??

Great update Tanya!! We ate at H & V inspite of the negative reviews last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had breakfast too. So maybe it's lunch that isn't so good???

I think you may be right... it's really hard to make breakfast bad I think...

 

[stagemomx3]

I don't know about that Tanya. IHOP manages to make breakfast bad all the time.

You have a point there...

Sounds like a great morning! It sounds so nice to have your own car to be able to stop at the grocery store whenever you want!

All the kids are so cute with the characters.

YEah that's an advantage of having your car with you...

Even my 12yo loves the characters... and isn't afraid to show it too

You are going to Greece in 28 days you lucky dog!!! I would love to go there one of these years
