[Shmu]

Adorable pictures.
I am not too familiar with these characters.
My kids are older.
Sorry about DH not feeling well.

Can I trick him??? Do you think he’ll fall for it??​

Once the game was almost over I woke the family and they all got ready and we made out way out so that we were to Epcot by 4pm… DH wasn’t paying attention for the Diamond parking so we had to park a ways out in the regular parking… we could see it was going to be crowded since it was the first weekend for the Food and Wine festival…

We made our way thru the usual fare and headed on in… we were a hungry bunch!! And snack credits to burn baby!

First things first…

Club cool… just to wet our whistle… and to play a trick on the boy… hehehehe

I suggested Forest try the Beverly and he said… ok…

As he’s first drinking it….

And then…
His response…

We tried a few more of the “good” ones and then made our way out… time for some Food and Wine fun…

DH wasn’t feeling well so he decided he’d eat once and then it was drink only… silly guy!

Firstly we made our way over to the walkway between future world and World showcase where they had some setups for quite a few places… right now I don’t recall what they were but I do know we stopped for these funny pics

And my favorite

With that fun done we made our way towards Canada… Our first stop was Greece…

We got the Pita salad… which was pretty good…. And DH tried their white wine… which he liked..

Next up… Canada… Since they had the cheese soup… I got 3… 2 for me to share w/ mini and Ry and 1 for Forest

After our yummy food was gone we went and saw Koda and Kenai from Brother Bear… We love them and have always had great interactions with them….

They really loved the Autograph book I made and did a pose to match the picture

Then a must for everyone going thru Canada

We then stopped and relaxed for a few to see everyone’s favorite…

Off Kilter

Ok folks…. Moving on…

We walked thru England as their booth was too long of a line and we didn’t wanna wait… we aren’t good waiting type’s lol…. too bad they don’t have fastpasses heheheh

After we got to France we first had to do a search… hoping that Belle and the Beast would be there… but we weren’t so lucky … oh well… but we did stop for this shot.. .in the area where they are sometimes

With that done we decided we were hungry for some Funnel cake so we made our way to the American Pavilion … picked us up a Funnel cake at the typical spot … no Snack credits there … or Credit cards… good thing I knew that and brought cash huh

With Funnel cake in hand we walked back to the Japan Pavilion to enjoy and listen to the drummers… I was on a mission… Time to get my 3 pearls set into a setting … sorry… no pics… I will try and add one later …

While we waited the 30 minutes for it to be done we checked out the shop … the wee ones decided they wanted monchichi’s … so the good mommy picked some up for them and an extra for my BFF who was house sitting for us… With the shopping done we went over to the Pearl counter and they were done … YIPEE!!!!

We then made our way outside where DH was waiting for us .. He’s not a big shopping fan.. Are most men??? LoL

We then stopped at the Italy pavilion for what else… Pizza hehe… and some tomato thing… The pizza was great… Tomato thing… Yuck!! Not for us thanks lol

We skipped Morocco’s stand as we are picky eaters and nothing there sounded good… but we did wanna see this guy

He liked the autograph page I made for him too

We then checked out area that had some Oklahoma stuff… a Teepee and some stuff that had info on Route 66 and other stuff…

After that we moved on… more food please!!

We stopped at the Poland stand and got DH a beer from his Mudda country… yes… my DH is part polish and very proud of it…

The kids and I got Kabobs and something else next from South Africa I wanna say it’s called bobtie?... both were pretty good …

We then went on over to the China pavilion… we wanted some Pot stickers and some of the yummy Ginger Ice cream… mmmm sooo good…

We sat down and rested there for quite a while… DH grabbed a Chinese beer which he really liked too

Now on to my “mudda country” Mexico…. I love love love my native food so we got 2 of each of the food items… I believe one was a quesadilla and the other I can’t recall what it was… all I know for sure… It was FANtastic baby!!!

DH had a bite or 2 but was quickly off to get his favorite. … Kat knows what I’m talking about don’t ya Kat … The Fiesta Margarita…

We then found a spot for Illuminations… Not the greatest spot but a good enough spot for me to Videotape the show… Because we have always forgotten the Camcorder and it’s DH’s favorite…

As always… we loved it!! When it was over we quickly made our way thru the paths near the Child care center which are always less crowded and then went to Mouse gears for some more Shopping … we loves us some Mouse gears I tell you… but lost each other at least twice and had to call each other to locate where we were … that was quite funny if ya ask me … DH didn’t find it quite as amusing

Once our shopping was done and we’d racked up quite a bill and paid it we made our way to the Van and back to the hotel… and to bed… for most of us… per usual…

UP NEXT…. Mom dares to take all the kids to MK alone…. Brave much??

 

[DisneyJo]

Woooohooooo first

Hilarious

we went and saw Koda and Kenai from Brother Bear… We love them and have always had great interactions with them….

I've read that they're getting rid of that meet

Very cute

picked us up a Funnel cake at the typical spot … no Snack credits there … or Credit cards… good thing I knew that and brought cash huh

I can never understand why a funnel cake is a SC at MK but not Epcot I love them BTW!

the wee ones decided they wanted monchichi’s … so the good mommy picked some up for them and an extra for my BFF who was house sitting for us…

You good Mummy you

Your autograph book sounds like it was a hit

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

I think we ate all the same stuff you did when we went to the Food and Wine Festival in October! Oh, wait, we ate everything.

Food and shopping...my two favorite things!

DITTO

But because of that Now I have a whole slew of OLD Childrens TV SHOW themes in my head.. because I decided to Check ( you guessed it) You Tube.

Here are a few... Bugaloo's, Kids from C.A.P.E.R. ( Man.. that stuff was cheesy) Liddsville, Big John Little John, HR Puffinstuff, Land of the Lost,Banana Splits. No wonder my mom worried about me.

Is there NOTHING that you can NOT find on You Tube ??

Mom dares to take all the kids to MK alone…. Brave much??

​

So as nothing unusual or shocking I woke up first… at 6:30am this day …. We had ADR this am as it was “planned” to eat at Biergarten this night…

DH still wasn’t feeling well so I told him I’d get the kids all ready myself and take them out to MK alone… eek…. So he could rest until we “had” to be checked out…

Ry woke up while I was doing some packing so I had Forest (DS not DH) and him hop in the shower so we could kill 2 birds with one stone… works out well… he’s very helpful with Ry as he was very glad the day Ry was born and he had a little brother. I packed more while they were in the shower and when I heard the water turn off I prepped Mini’s outfit for the day… the Jasmine one … We get ready and DH wakes to walk us to the Busses… when we see the horrendous lines we decide that I’ll just drive the kids there… Sadly… neither of us had our keys with us… So DH went back to get his for me…

He goes back and can’t find them anywhere…. He searches and searches and nada… so he calls me and I tell him where mine are … in the safe… so he gets those and brings em to me… turns out no sleeping for him… must… find … keys…

He went to the front desk after we’d left and they had them turned in there… whew… he apparently dropped them when he was sitting by the pool the night before and a good Samaritan turned them in… I won’t keep you in suspense waiting for that info

So the kids and I made our way to MK, parked in the diamond parking per usual… walked to TTC and hopped aboard the boat…

On the way over it began to rain… a horrible torrential Disney World rain… we ran our hearts out to get into MK… arrived and went straight to the MK bakery to The kids waited at a table while I got us some food. After we filled up we checked out the store with all the Crystal… then moved on to see the Castle Stage show with Mickey… but sadly … the rain started again so it was postponed…

We didn’t wan to wait so we made our way over to Snow White’s ride

and then over to Peter Pan

After both those rides we saw Lady Tremaine and the Stepsisters so we got in line… sadly… the rain came and we only got to “see” them… No autographs or anything… oh well..

Here is a picture of them at least

Afterwards I saw it was time to head back to the hotel so we can pack up and pick up DH and all of the Luggage… Te took the Monorail to the TTC and then I got back to the hotel with 5 minutes to spare till checkout time …. Eek… Forest and Ry waited in the car while Mini and I went back to the room to meet DH … We loaded the luggage cart… Double checked the room for stuff…. Then notated the fridge for the next person in the swap…. We got the cart to the van… piled all the stuff in and DH returned the Cart… we decided to go to MK instead of going to Epcot… which made the food part a task… we cancelled Biergarten as DH wasn’t in the mood to walk all the way to Germany at Epcot… where to eat… not sure yet…

We went on into the Confectionary with 17 or so snack credits and got 11 diff things so we had 6 credits left… .then we went over to Cosmic Rays and used 5 total credits for food… most of the desserts (brownies) we threw in the bag from the confectionary for later… we still had 3 or 4 CS credits at this point too … lol

We then made our way to Buzz … rode that… had a blast…

Then to TTA… rode that… got some great shots

We then had to be sure to check out Laugh floor... which would be our final "ride" "show" for this years trip...

Here are some shots I took while we waited

Sadly after that we decided it was time to go…. We went over to the emporium and got some last minute items ... while we were going thru the princess shop mini got a really special magical moment...

Here she is Dressing a doll of Cinderella and then doing a bippity boppity boo.... there was a certificate and a wand inside there for her... she just loved it...

Then we left Magic Kingdom for the last time and took the Monorail over to the the Grand Floridian in hopes we could get a spot at 1900 PF… at first I was told they had a spot an hour from then… but in the time I went to ask DH and come back they said… sorry… no walk ups… boooo hisss… not cool… So we went back to the Monorail and I called Disney Dining to see if any other Monorail hotel had a seat… nope…

We were going to leave without using our last TS but I somehow managed to convince DH to go to Planet Hollywood at Downtown Disney for our last meal… we liked it the times before that we’d gone so why not…

He agreed and we went on in… The service was very fast… the food was sooo yummy…. And we were out of there in no time… and full to our hearts content… I don’t care what anyone says… we LOVE LOVE LOVE it there…

Some food shots Can't remember whose or what... I know 1 is a pizza which Mini and Ry shared ... and the burger I think was DH but Forest also got the same thing...

I then asked DH to stop at World of Disney as I had 1 or 2 things I wanted to get before we left for the year… I got those final purchases… picked him up a shirt and then ran to a place near WOD that sold popcorn and used our last Snack credits for Popcorn…. Loaded our baggie full… the kids loved it… especially since they’d be watching movies the whole night hehe… at least till they fell asleep…

The drive home was uneventful… we got home much earlier than anticipated as while DH slept and expected me to sleep half the time I just drove and drove so we got home very fast hehe…


UP NEXT…. Final Thoughts…

Awww, the last day.

Minnie is adorable in her Jasmine oufit, the TTA picture of her is great, she must have seen something really great to look so excited.

We like Planet Hollywood too Tanya. The food is good (not gourmet but who needs gourmet! ) and the atmosphere is fun.

I am guessing she's spotted a character down below.... just a guess however...

We are PH fans too
