Day Three...

Stitch woke us up at 6am (now who would have told him to do that?? ) We had a quick breakfast a POP and then off to MGM. You have to understand something... my family is the type that when you say "be ready by 8" we can't manage to be ready any sooner then 8:30 so I never thought that when I planned these early mornings that everyone would be ready on schedule....
OK... so that being said... we arrived at MGM at 8:15am. Well.... it didn't open until 9:00 (guess who everyone was mad at).
Oh well... all was good, Dexter found some friends to play with near the opening gates. I'm sure he didn't realise the fun hadn't started yet.
Once the finally let us in we were only able to go half way up the street until they stopped everyone again for the official opening. It was cute, but at this point we had been there for 45mins and were ready to do something.
After the little opening show everyone seemed to run in the same direction... toward Tower of Terror & RocknRoll Roller coaster. I volunteered to watch the babies while Mike, Steph & Shawn whet on the ride.
This was interesting!!! Fortunately Emmie was in her stroller so the only munchkin I had to chase was my own. AND WAIT.. I forgot to tell you!!! He was dressed up as Mr. Incredible (I personally think it was a Dash costume... but I was told that Dash does not have muscles)

So this costume got Lil' Dexter all sorts of attention which in turn made him act CRAZY!!!
Just the other day Dexter was on our deck and saw the neighbors out side, so he started running back and forth like a caged lion running into the walls and pretending to fall down!!!

Ok... I'm back again.
So while they were having fun on the ride I took the little ones and got Mike & Steph FP for TOT. (Shawn doesn't ride anything with drops). After they got off the ride there was a little time to wait for their FP time, so we walked through the shops. And waiting for us in the candy shop was some MAGIC!!! Well, for the babies mostly. A cast member came over and give Dexter & Emmie chocolate covered marshmallows!!

This is the nice cast member that gave our babies SUGAR

I'm not sure if you know this, but marshmallows are made out of SUGAR!! And after that Dexter got way more crazy!!! It was time to head back to TOT for Mike & Steph so me & Shawn watched the babies... and OMG!! Dexter was a wild man!!! If anyone so a little Dash (or mr. incredible) running up and down the street, he was mine. It's not like he was running anyone off the road or anything, he was just having fun being a crazy kid running off a sugar high at 10 in the morning!

Well Shawn was getting really irritated at Dexter's crazy behavior and decided that as soon as we got that costume off him, he would start acting better. So once Mike & Steph found us we headed over to meet the Incredibles. They are in the animation building at the end of the tour.

His mask was too cute but he wouldn't keep it on.

More to come...

Those pictures are adorable!!! I love Dexter in his Dash/Mr. Incredible outfit with the Mr. and Mrs., they are just precious.

I'm glad your back with more. I was getting worried. Hope you got moved ok.

Now keep it coming.... ...I'm loving this.

Day 3 part two:

Dexter became a little less incredible and took off his costume. I think he was a little relieved that he no longer had all the responsibilities that a super hero has. Now he was just my little boy again.
A little boy who LOVES Lighting McQueen!!! So we checked the time and headed over to where the Cars come out. We tried to get him all pumped up to see Lightning, so we bought him a die-cast car.

If you have ever seen the movie Cars then you know that in the first big race Lighting McQueen has to jump over a bunch of the other cars who had crashed. While he jumps he sticks out his tongue Michael Jordan style. That is what Dexter is doing in this picture.
Finally the Cars came driving down the street. Dexter seemed a little overwhelmed.

I was expecting a better reaction. Something that said, "MOMMY, I love you and you made my dreams come true." but all I got was...

"mommy, why is daddy holding me in front of this rusty car?"
That's what I thought anyway... But when the cars were driving away Shawn & Dexter followed them. And Shawn said that when the cars finally were out of sight, Dexter turned to him and said, "OH WOW!!!!"
Emmie fell asleep so we all decided to split up for awhile and meet in front of Lights Motor Action in a few hours. Shawn, Dexter and I went to play at the Honey I shrunk the kids play area.
We started on the baby slides, and slowly graduated to the big slides. I never thought he would go down the film strip... but once he did it he didn't want to stop!!! (no pictures = no camera)
We ate lunch at the counter services behind the play area. It wasn't all that good, but it did fill our bellies.
Next, off to Lights Motor Action. (last year this was the first place that Dexter ever clapped on his own) Dexter just watched the whole show with very little emotion... just followed the cars very closely but didn't smile or frown. We weren't real sure if he was enjoying it.... But then after the last explosion and when everyone started to get up and leave - his enthusiasm came out!!! He doesn't speak very good English yet (more of a Dexter-ease) but you could tell he was telling you about the show and what he saw. It was VERY clear that he liked it.
We all headed over to the Great Movie Ride and on the way Dexter got inked.

Don't pay attention to the sign that says "drys immediately" cause they do not!! The first tattoo he got rubbed off... we went back and they gave him a fresh one for free. This time we made sure that he didn't touch it until it was really dry (about 30 minutes later).

The Great Movie Ride is one of my favorites. But I was very disappointed this time because we got the girliest Man Mobster in the world!!! Come on now, were all the cast members on vacation??? I could have done a WAY better job then that guy, but just assumed that getting that job must be difficult.... (guess not)

Everyone was getting crabby so we headed back to POP. Shawn & Steph decided they need naps, so me and my brother took the kids to the pool.

Emmie had fun at first, but got cold and tired really fast.

Dexter loved it, and didn't want to leave!

After we dragged Dexter away from the pool we all got dressed and went over to the Market Place. Nothing real exciting happened that night. We just walked around, and ate dinner at Earl of Sandwich (I would have eaten there every day if I could have).

Time to go to sleep and rest up.
Tomorrow Girls Princess Breakfast @ Epcot.

Hang in there girl. I hate to say that there may be more bad days but know that you can get through them and that you have friends and family that care about you. Including the ones here on the DIS.

I am really enjoying your family and your story.

 

[Ciciwoowoo]

My son loves to get "inked" at the MGM too! He's always picking out the villains, though. I think last year it was Chernabog.

So glad to hear more of your trip!

I am so sorry I found this tonight after you posted on mine. I loved the beginning of your story and your pictures from the past. I got excited for your pregnancy and cried when I read about the miscarriage, i am so sorry for your loss. Your son is absolutely adorable and I loved the picture of him in front of the castle. Looks like you had a good trip and I am really enjoying reading about it and all the great pics.

What a wonderful trip report- thank you for continuing it. It sounds cliche but, that little baby is an angel you'll always have with you. My prayers for you and your beautiful family.

Hugs to you. Thank you for sharing your TR. I'm really enjoying it. Looking forward to hear more. We're going in a few weeks with DD8 and DD1. Can't wait!!! Your TR is getting me even more excited!

 

[rthutchens]

I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I experienced it one about 1.5 years ago. I still can't get DH to try again. He wants to wait until after our October Disney trip, but I want to get started NOW. I love reading your TR and you have an adorable son.

They are adorable aren't they???
I'm a mom, so I will always be partial to my little man... but it's fun to hear other people agree!!! Just wait until you see how they dressed up as Snow White & Dopey!!

Thanks for the hugs.
I chose not to tell anyone about my pregnancy or miscarriage so only Disers and my close family know what happened. So it's nice to get virtual hugs from everyone.

Your going to have a blast with your daughters!!! How exciting!!

Sorry about your loss. The more I read on the Internet, the more common bad stuff like this seems. Good luck in October!!! That would be a GREAT story to get pregnant in Disney World!!!

Shawn said they he's ready when ever I am, but I think I want to wait until the end of the summer or fall... Maybe we'll have the same due date?

Where does this "inking" take place at MGM? My son would love that Lightning McQueen inking that Dexter got. What is the cost?

It is $7 and last about a week. They really are cool, it looked like a sticker. Dexter got his on Commissary Lane in MGM. That's the little back way from the Muppets to The Great Movie Ride.
But they also do it in Downtown Disney, and some of the hotels by the pool.
