The pirate cruise seems to be getting really popular here on the Dis. It is showing up in all the TR's.

That is really nice that the CM stepped up and made Javen feel really special when he saw that he was upset.

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

So where was I??? Oh yeah the kids are finally off on there cruise! YAY Now Dane and I have some free time
We decided that because we had our van we would go ahead and drive over to DTD...I was hoping to eat at Earl of sandwich so when we arrived at DTD's parking I was tottally LOST--wasnt sure what end EOS was at so The SMART guy that Dane is...he pulled out our maps and found that we were at the wrong end ...so off we went to find the correct parking lot. While driving we spot this in the middle of the road

So we get parked and I say to Dane that "I sure hope Javen is doing okay", He assures me that he will be fine. We head in and spot EOS right off--wooo hooo!! The food was wonderful!! here is a pic of the inside of EOS

Here is Danes sandwich

and Here is mine--sure wish i could remember what they were

oh and our desserts........
chocolate chip cookie and pudding YUMMM!!

I give this counter service a ...It was very good!!

After wards we still had some time left before time to go back and pick up the kids so we decided to head over to goofys candy Company....I had never been here before--IT WAS HEAVEN!!

I love this stautue!!!!

Here is Dane outside the candy co.

And here is what I had made for the kids--

It was a rice crispy mickey mouse head covered in sprinkles and drizzled with chocolate!! I had the CM make 3 of these ...one for each child and used snack credits for them

We checked out and headed over to the closest pin station and we couldnt resist these pics

CONTINUED................................

 

[jordanyosh]

Great pics....I have yet to make it to the Goofy's. I fear that I would gain ten lbs just walking in the door or all my teeth would fall out by the time I walked out..........

 

[kindakrazy2]

You guys got alone time! i am so insanely jealous!

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

So after we left the pin shop we sat down on the pooh bench and a nice lady asked if we would like for her to take our pic---------WELL SURE!!!

Then we took MORE fun shots with the statues

Now Buzz is gettin a little frisky here......Watch out for this guy!!

Another nice man offered to take our pic together

How sweet of these people to offer there time!! PIXIE DUST EVERYWHERE!!

At this point we were getting close on time --so we decided to run threw some shops real quick and I couldnt resist this beautiful model of the castle--HAD to take a pic!!

Isnt that soooo rad!!!!! I love it!!!

Well Thats all the Dane and Farrah Time we have so we head back over to POR to get the kiddos!!
They had a wonderful time and JAVEN was totally fine the WHOLE TIME--YAY!!! I was so glad to hear that!!

We drove back to POP for a small break and to check out all the BOOTY they got while treasure hunting

I give them there Mickey heads from Goofys and there are all super stoked!!!!

So we get back in the van-drive to MK and have to park WAY far away and catch the Trolly--or whatever its called to the Monorail--who knew it was this hard!!!!!!
Here we are in the tram thingie

We finally make it to MK and youll never guess what we forgot!!!!!!!!!!!
MADDISONS CARD TO GET IN!!!!!! I Told Dane and the boys to go ahead in and I would catch up with them later...mind you we only have one cell phone and I needed it to get ahold of My sister and mom to get Maddis card so I knew this could get messy!!! I called My sis and she says there getting on the bus to MK right now........I swear maddi and I waited 30 minutes or more before they arrived. Here is Maddi and me just chillin on the bench outside MK --JUST WAITING

So They finally arrive, we get threw The gates

snapped another pic of them 3....

.... So, sis, mom and niece are hungry so I tell them go ahead and grab something to eat at cosmic rays and I would meet them in front of hall of presidents for the DREAMS parade...I will TRY to locate Dane and the boys---DIDNT HAPPEN! I sat at the darn HOP for like a hour...then Sis, mom and niece showed up and we grabbed a handicap spot for the parade! There were prolly a total of 30 people that tryed to d=sit in the handicaped section that were NOT handicapped--CMS were allover it though and kicked them out. Still NO sign of Dane and the boys.....well about 2 minutes before the parade starts I spot them and run across the ropes to travk them down--FINALLY were all together again!!

The parade was awsome and I loved to see the look on Maddis face when she spotted Cinderella....such a awsome float!!

Heres a couple other of my favorite parade pics

Well Thats it for tonite!! I will Close the day with my next installment!! Will we make it to our ADR or will we loose the family again???????? Stay tuned!!!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Wow, you're fast!! I just checked on you like an hour ago and you hadn't updated and now ya got 2 for me!!!!

Love the pics. That bird in the middle of the road is a riot!

I am guessing you made it to your ADRs, but you were late and had to wait longer.

Am I close?

 

[jordanyosh]

Another thing....you TAKE great pics....!!!!! I like the picture w/ you and Buzz. Classic

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Glad the kiddos had a great time on the cruise.

Those Mickey heads you had made look super yummy, no surprise thats the kiddos were delighted with them.

That would have been frustrating not being able to find Dane and the boys but at least you were all back together in time for the parade.

 

[dismom9761]

The kids look adorable in their outfits for the pirate cruise. Glad tey ALL had fun. All the pics are great!

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

Great episode Farrah!

Love the outfits girl!

I love POR - it used to be our "home" hotel there. Now we go cheep! Thanks for the photos and the trip down memory lane!

Thanks Sarah!! The outfits were fun to make! I too go Cheap now a days!! We did do Coranado Springs in 2003 but I would have rather have been at POR(it was booked)

The pirate cruise seems to be getting really popular here on the Dis. It is showing up in all the TR's.

That is really nice that the CM stepped up and made Javen feel really special when he saw that he was upset.

Yeah I learned of the pirate cruise on the DIS and Im pretty sure its so popular because of POTC movies Atleast thats why we decided to go for it.
The second CM was Great- she really made Javen feel Like a "helper". I think He just felt left out cause he was the last kid to get his life jacket and Maddi and Heath left him behind---she was wonderful though!!

Great pics....I have yet to make it to the Goofy's. I fear that I would gain ten lbs just walking in the door or all my teeth would fall out by the time I walked out..........

Oh so true!! It is such a neat place though...They have carmel apples, fudge, cookies, pastries,,,,the list goes on and on! It was amazing! You should atleast go once!

You guys got alone time! i am so insanely jealous!

dont get too jealous, it was onlt for like a hour and a half-- couldnt do a whole lot.

Wow, you're fast!! I just checked on you like an hour ago and you hadn't updated and now ya got 2 for me!!!!

Love the pics. That bird in the middle of the road is a riot!

I am guessing you made it to your ADRs, but you were late and had to wait longer.

Am I close?

Well it was suppose to be one installment that finished the day but I didnt realize how busy that day was and I had to break it up inti two posts due to the photo limit. I am getting ready to TRY to finsh out that days Post.
The bird was FUNNY--he just stood there-didnt even care that I was tryin to get threw!
Good guessing on the Adrs but youll have to wait ti find out

Another thing....you TAKE great pics....!!!!! I like the picture w/ you and Buzz. Classic

My camera is just a cheap kodak easy share but I think it does well...eacept for at night...I couldnt get very many GOOD night time shots--maybe its a setting I messed up pr sumthin.
That BUZZ pic was hilarious! I just had to go with it!!

Glad the kiddos had a great time on the cruise.

Those Mickey heads you had made look super yummy, no surprise thats the kiddos were delighted with them.

That would have been frustrating not being able to find Dane and the boys but at least you were all back together in time for the parade.

Oh VERY frustrating!! Not a good afternoon at all!! I was soo mad because I had told him earlier that I would be at HOP....I meant within the next 3o min or so, and he thought I meant at parade time --that was like a 2 hour diffrence
I give the mickey heads a thunbs up! Not that I ate a whole one or nuthin

The kids look adorable in their outfits for the pirate cruise. Glad tey ALL had fun. All the pics are great!

Thanks Amy! They pirate cruise was a big hit!!

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

Okay so I left off at the parade right? Well I forgot to mention that while Dane and the boys were off havin fun, they got to go into Monsters in laugh floor...so dane tells me after teh parade that Javen was selected to talk during the show!! How exciting!! I just wish I could have been there

Okay so.....After the parade we headed out of MK and went to catch the monorail to the Poly for our 4:30 ADR at Ohana (POLY). As soon as we walked up to the monorail the nice lady asked how many were riding in our party and I said "4"...Mom, and sis had yet again took off So the CM asked if we would like to be co-pilots in the front of the monorail--well heck yes!!!!! So we all hoped in the front and were on our way.....

Could you tell I was excited to be in the front?? I only took like 12 pics on that short ride

We arrived and exited at the POLY and WOW how cool is this resort!! mY goodness--I was blown away! I have never been to any resorts other than values and CSR (oh and POR for the cruise), so this was just BEAUTIFUL!!
I checked in at the hostess desk and explained that we had a few party members that were not there yet --she had us just sit in the waiting area.....
So 15 minutes later here comes my mom and sis! ALWAYS HOLDIN US UP I SWEAR!! So to answer the cliff hanger question...yes we were late to our ADR BUT they got us right in!!
This had to be one of my favorite meals!! I would Highly reccommend this resturant to anyone that is thinking of going--I know another one of those mixed review places but WE LOVED IT!!
Here we are seated in the corner..outlooking the beautiful view!! Windows on both sides of us--It was PERFECT!!

The Fashionably late family

Here is some food porn for you--I really did try to get good pics but If I got up from the table my sister would get into the food before I could get back and take a pic-- She is always Hungry I now know where I get it!!

Yeah did you notice the half eatin dessert that is suppose to be for everyone (family style meal)....That is after my sister got her hands on it while I was up doing the limbo with the kids

I think Im exceeding the max number of pics so im gonna continue on another post----dont go anywhere!!

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

Heres them having some fun....

Here is Dane satisfied with his meal

Heres a pic looking out our corner window

After this wonderful meal we looked around in there gift shop and Dane bought Him something --youll see what it is in the next few installments....
Then we got back on the monorail and headed back to MK....
heres a few shots I took on the way

It is my dream to stay at the grand floridian someday!! Its sooo freekin purdy!!!

Once we get to MK AGAIN (told you this was a long day)..I snapped a few more pics

Okay so we headed to philharmagic--one of my favs!!

The kids absolutly loved it-- they were reaching for stuff and crackin up at donald--it was cute! Then we went tosmall world, and poohs honey pots--you know thee classics!!

Then we headed to HERE

Gotta love the halloween decor!!

Imade the boys stop and pose for a pic ANOTHER ONE!! This is only day 2 for goodness sakes!! Told ya I love pics!!

Again exceeding pic amounts so check next post!!!

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

So after I made them pose we headed to mickeys house-- It was getting very late so I was hoping that he would still be there
Heres the boys in the living room

and Unfortunitly he was already in bed so NO MICKEY TODAY
We went and rode barnstormer, then headed to cosmic rays to grab a snack and see if we could see teh fire works from there--NOPE...We had terriable views for wishes so we jsut decided to leave ---It hadbeen a VERY LONG DAY!! OH WAIT IM FORGETTING ABOUT MY CELL PHONE CALL from my sister---she asked where we were and I told her at cosmics...she proceeds to tell me that MOM ran over a curb on her scoooted and Wrecked--WHY AM I LAUGHING AS I TYPE THAT ...because its flippin hilarious!! She was knocked out for a second and my sis said all the paramedics came and made sure she was okay: SHE WAS FINE- I wouldnt laugh if she wasnt! Also later I find out that when This happened my sister went and picked up the scooter rather than OUR MOM!!! Whats wrong with my family LOL

Okay so anyway crowds were high due to the wishes fireworks going on so I told sis we werre gonna head out for the night...here is a pic of the castle from cosmic rays WARNING-IT SUCKS!!

and dont ask what Javen was doing here cause Im not sure but we are outside at a table at cosmics

So we make it up to the monorail because remember we had to drive since the kids had there pirate cruise..................
and yet again we get to ride IN FRONT~ WOOT WOOT!

So we FINALLY make it to the trolly then to the van and it was a matter of seconds before this happened

as much as I hate to admit this-- I GOT LOST ON THE WAY BACK TO POP....we went WAY out of our way and got on some major highway and I was CURSING (not like me)- I was tired...ya thats why So 20 minutes later we make our way back on Disney property and Finally get the kids upstairs-- Heath wakes up but javens gets Pjs on and is DOWN FOR THE NIGHT

--Heath wants to swim so WHAT THE HECK!! Ilet him for a few

then we decide to get changed and walk around the HIPPY DIPPY POOL

Okay so that is it folks!! That was our 2nd day!! WHHEWWW I died when My head hit the pillow on this night!! I was sooooooooo tired!

So will we get up on time tommrrow after having such a LOOONNGG day today???? Youll find out in my next installment!!!
