I forgot something kinda funny from the first night. After we got back to our room and everthing settled, Hunter asked if he could set up the wake up call for his room, which he was sharing with Evan & MIL. I said sure and went to help him. When MIL found out what we were doing she said "oh, I'd rather you didn't do that. I don't like being startled awake by phones ringing or alarms".
I nearly bit my tongue off in an effort to refrain from saying "really??? I love it!!!"
Seriously no-one likes it, but how else are you going to wake up on time? Instead of trying to explain this I just let him set it up in the other room.
At 6:30 I was joyfully awoke to the phone ringing.
I was still feeling a bit of a cold coming on but the promise of a bright sunny day in disneyworld got me out of bed.
When it was time to get MIL up I had to fight the little devil on my shoulder telling me to scare the crap out of her. I know, I'm evil.
I managed to have all 6 of us ready to go before she was ready. Again this is a theme through out the trip. To us it's no surprise because that's just how she rolls............s-l-o-w-l-y.
To pass the waiting time I decided to get a picture of the kids all ready to go.
Of course there had to be a goofy one.....
When MIL was finally ready to go, I looked at her and she had not 1 but 2 bags with her.
I pack for 6 in one medium size backpack.
She had a large back pack and a strange banana shaped purse stuffed full of neccesities. We managed to talk her into only bringing the banana.
On the walk to the bus stop we passed our trip mascot Phil....he was still there.
the boys at the bus stop
Before the trip MIL had been a little disappointed to hear that we weren't going to 50's Primetime cafe. She had heard alot about it from the kids and wanted to try it. So, after hearing that I managed to get lunch reservation as a surprise.
To pass the time at the bus stop we decided to tell her that we would be eating there for lunch. When D.Jay told her, she litterally jumped up and down for joy.
I couldn't believe how excited she was about it.
We missed the park opening by a few minutes.....thanks to all the waiting, and I was a little worried about getting fp's for ToyStory Mania. We had heard so much about it and couldn't wait to try it.
So as we started our brisk walk to get there D.Jay explained to MIL that she would see lots of things she'd want to check out but we'd come back to them later.
We got there and there was only a 15 minute wait. D.Jay grabbed fp's for later and we all got in line. I loved the themeing here. There was so much to look at...........
How excited are you to be in DisneyWorld??
Let me see your tonsils.....
monkey see, monkey do...
While we were standing in line I had a celebrity look a like moment......there was this guy who looked EXACTLY like Leonard from The big bang theory. I tried to get a picture of him but he kept moving. Anyway, it gave me a good laugh because I love that show.
We all loved this ride. It is 100x's better than Buzz's space spin........I know that's not the name but I can't think of it right now.
up next......MIL gets a boyfriend.
Too fun. We have the Build-A-Bear/Dino planned as well. The kids will love it, even Gabby I suspect. 
thanks for joining in on your own TR! 
It's hard to believe my kids are getting too big for stuffed animals...
I am laughing out loud at this! That's really funny about the alarm clock! I love all the pictures you have of your kids. Who got the high score on TSM?
