Alright this might be the cutest thing ever.and when he saw SE come into view, he says, “Wow, I can’t believe I’m in Ecpot”.
Lol, thankfully were on the other side, which wasn't a very long hallway at all.
It was the perfect start to the trip. Thanks for reading!
That better be me many, many years from now. My oldest is definitely going to be a Disney parks guys for life, so hopefully he'll let me tag along.
Yep definitely of good surprise.
It was, I loved the no carpets. It feels much cleaner in there.
We had that day 1 excitement going for us.
Right? It's the epitome of chaos.
Yeah, there is nothing better than getting to your hotel after a a stressful travel experience.
It's nice when you start to feel they appreciate something you love so much.
. We decided to just push on and hope we could at least make it within the 15 minute grace period. We got to take the Toy Story monorail over to the TTC.
. The hostess didn’t even blink an eye, and checked us in. Unfortunately, the lack of food and early rising time, meant I had three grumpy boys on my hand. I didn’t know how long the wait would be, so I did something in most cases that would be unthinkable before a big family style meal, I bought the boys a snack and drink to share. At that point I was in survival mode and I just needed them not to completely meltdown. It did the trick, it kept them quiet and happy until our table was ready, just 5 minutes later. I had four different texts from Ohana from various trips and proclaimed, “We come here too much”
How lovely are those family photos??? Framers for sure!
Ace pineapple is delish! And an Ohana meal on the first day was always our tradition with our three too.
Love the cute matching jammies! Why do they have to grow up so fast?
Well worth the extra time for some pictures. I mean, it isn't like they've never had other people show up late. It happens.It was at this point, I knew we would never make our ADR. My bad, too distracted by rides and PP
Well, first of all, of course the table is ready 5 minutes after you got the boys a snack, but that was probably a good call. I guess if you go there that often, you should be considered "regulars," right? I mean don't the servers know you by name and have your drink orders on the table when you sit down???I had four different texts from Ohana from various trips and proclaimed, “We come here too much”
Fun.
I always wonder about this meal because of the food and if my kids would enjoy it, i don't know why i never assumed there would be kid food available... maybe i should add this to our list in May, we are staying at the Poly and all!
LOVE IT!Since this would probably be our last year with a stroller and our only Christmas trip, I went all out on the stroller.
This thing was super easy to find at night, so it worked out perfectly. And like that our first day came to a close.
Oh boy! Sometimes I try to warn people but they just don't get it!I chatted with a woman across from me. She was from Grand Rapids, so we had a nice time chatting. I used to live about an hour north of Grand Rapids. She was going down for a wedding, but was super excited about Galaxy’s Edge. I tried to prepare her for the RotR madness, but I don’t think I got through to her. She thought she could just walk up day of and buy her ticket and do the Star Wars things.
Ugh, that sucks, but...
Sounds like it worked out great in the end!
Honestly, sounds like a great start to the trip! A way to decompress and relax before hitting the parks!
thanks, it’s so hard to get all three boys looking and smiling at the same time, so it’s a miracle when it happens.How lovely are those family photos??? Framers for sure!
It was impossible to get! Completely booked at 180 days, and it took laths of looking. I think I finally got it 2 weeks out or so.
thanks, I never fully got that phrase until I had kids of my own and it’s so true. I always tell them to stop growing!
Thanks, I saw these at Target for $5 and I could pass them up.
thanks, it made nighttime stroller hunting SO easy.
Thanks. I didn’t make the sign, I got is from wdw prep school.
True, and thankfully I think the boys were too tiredto notice or care.
I mean I plan these perfectly coordinating outfits, they must be documented
Thanks, it was well worth the stress.
Thankfull I know their limits, especially ds5, and I knew this would placate them enough.
I know, but one of my biggest pet peeves in being late or having other people be late, which is HUGE foreshadowing for later in the trip
OMG I wish, wouldn’t that be awesome. I’m always wondering why they even bother to ask you if you’ve dined there before and when you say yes they proceed to tell you how ding there works. Why ask then?!Well, first of all, of course the table is ready 5 minutes after you got the boys a snack, but that was probably a good call. I guess if you go there that often, you should be considered "regulars," right? I mean don't the servers know you by name and have your drink orders on the table when you sit down???
That was literally exactly what happened, but it was only about 15 lights at the end of the strand so it still worked.You have to if you’re staying at the Poly! Thye have ALL the kid food, they don’t always remember to offer it, but we just ask now when they bring out the salad. It’s perfect for our family.
The travel agent in me dies a little every time I hear things like this.
For sure, I was so happy with it.
We needed it too.
Thanks for reading along!
Thanks, we loved the lights. I’m glad we pushed them just far enough, but not too far.Now THAT's a stroller lol!
Looks like the boys were troopers right up until bedtime so a good first day overall
