Dane,Farrah SEPT TR Could we have had more funNO WAY!~UPDATE were goin again :) pg 45

[heath-and-javens-mom]

Okay so FINALLY we head out of the coral reef- pretty much in a bad mood because it took FOREVER!!!!! We headed over to Nemo and friends --what a cute ride--The wait was short and I rode with Javen-- this was one of his favorites!

NO FLAMES ON THOSE PICS--There wasnt hardley anyone on that ride so I snapped a couple shots BIG WHOOP!!!!!

Heres a few of the kids playin after the ride

Then we head to SOARIN to use our fast passes that we received from Coral reef

This line was LOONG for using FPs but like I said the park was crowded coming in--they must have all been going to coral reef and soarin
I lOVE love ,love this ride--my favorite by far!!!! Javen and Heath both Loved it as well- Javen kept wanting to ride it over and over!!!


After this is was tome to get a spot for Illuminations (another show we have NEVER seen) so we headed to Maracco to watch it...here we are waiting for it to start

Javens starting to get tired

So is dane LOL

The show finally starts, I dont have many good pics of this cause its so far away and my camera doesnt do well with nighttime pics....but here are a couple anyway -I tryed

Dane and Javen did get up to see the show!! Still tired but willing to try to catch the show!! LOL

after this we stopped in a couple stores and shopped....dropped anothr 100.00 in one store and then headed to the busses-THE PACKED, LONG LINED bus stops! AHHHHH! Frustrating evening for me-sorry!
We finally got back to POP about 111:30 and went right to bed!!!



Stay tuned Tommrrow is AK day-- will we get up in time for rope drop or are we to exhausted by now????????

Hey Farrah! Great update. I have the same photos from Nemo so no flames here! To bad the service was so poor at Coral Reef. Our food was really good. The service was just ok.

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

It's SUCH a bummer that your personalized menus were lost. It was nice that they gave you the fast pass, but that definitely doesn't make up for it.

I feel your frustration!

 

[jordanyosh]

Good morning Farrah!! I should be working, but I'm not. 8:02am PST here in sunny Southern Calif.

You're pics..great as always. Faves today...The first one w/ Dane and the boys in front of Pop. It reminded me of being there in June...Did you like Pop?

Sorry about Coral Reef. At least the food was good. I've heard a couple of comments that the restaurant is very noisy. The aquarium glass probably doesn't absorb any noise, so it just come bouncing back into the restaurant. Plus, it probably gets ALOT of families w/ kids for the obvious reasons. That's why we have an ADR there in Feb.

 

[pierresgirl]

Too bad they took forever in CR and that s*cks that they lost the menu! I had the crab legs as well and they were yummy! Soarin' was in my top 2 rides!

 

[Disneyolic]

I personally don't think Coral Reef is good enough to return, unless the kids insisted. Way too many other places to eat that are better. I think it's great that you got to go on Soarin' with that FP ... but too bad that it was because they screwed up the menu thing. Sorry.

I love the picture of Javen falling asleep on Dane ... totally too cute.

Okay so FINALLY we head out of the coral reef- pretty much in a bad mood because it took FOREVER!!!!!

I know that feeling! We had a similar experience at the Turf Club. We were there a good total of 3 hours from the time we got our pager to the time we left!

We headed over to Nemo and friends --what a cute ride--

I loved this ride! Especially riding the current with Crush!

This pic is adorable!

 

[dismom9761]

Okay so you know my mom has been staying here for like 3 days now right.....well, today she decides to go in my bathroom and start PULLING DOWN my wallpaper R U KIDDING!!!!!!!!!! I was sooo freakkin mad!! So Dane and I are both POed! So she says she will go buy the stuff to fix it- Yeah right...you cant just fix one wall and leave the rest a different color (paper)!

I have no idea what I would have said..

Great update,Farrah. Love all the pics. We had pretty bad service at Coral Reef but the food was good.Like DM said,don't know if I will return..

So what did you buy?? You can't spend $100 without telling...

 

[Disneyolic]

So what did you buy?? You can't spend $100 without telling...

Buying me something of course!

 

[Tanya90210]

OMG! the pics of Dane and Javen are soooooooo cute!!!! I love snuggle shots!!! Priceless!

That sucks about the CR mess up!! Dang it!

I took pics in the ride too.... nobody near us anyways so we didn't worry

 

[DisneyMom5]

I just read the whole thing in one sitting!

Keep up the good work!

 

[DisneyMom5]

Ooops! I was on the phone when I posted and forgot all the things I wanted to say.

Our schedules were remarkably similar. We were MK on the 18th, and watched the parade from across the street from Liberty Tree Tavern. You were just around the corner.

We were standing near the flagpole for Wishes that night, so you would have passed right by us when you exited.

And, of course, if this is not giving anything away, we were at AK together, because I think that's where we met!

Seems like there was something else...but now I can't remember. Hmmm....
Better go skim again! LOL

Good NO flames YAY!! Yeah the resturant was just ok-It was neat to see once.

I feel your frustration!

LOL- I was frustarated at that point!

I love how you tell me your fav pics each update -VERY COOL
Coral reef we will prolly not do again in the future but I would suggest everyone to try it atleast once I Liked POP alot.....We were at the end and yet the walk to classic hall was a breeze, Unlike sports. And its soooo colorful and cheerful-hard to stay in a bad mood around that place.

Too bad they took forever in CR and that s*cks that they lost the menu! I had the crab legs as well and they were yummy! Soarin' was in my top 2 rides!

Soarin is awsome!!

Oh my--I dont rememeber what we bought....Its sooooo easy to spend 75 here and 100 there when your at disney! I know we went threw about 900.00 while we were there on toys and clothes and crap It was fun though!!!

Buying me something of course!

Oh thats right--we bought DM some stuff

OMG! the pics of Dane and Javen are soooooooo cute!!!! I love snuggle shots!!! Priceless!

That sucks about the CR mess up!! Dang it!

Thanks Tanya!! Snuggle shots R the best!!

I just read the whole thing in one sitting!

Keep up the good work!

WOOO HOOOO! you rock--dont know how you have time to read all that with all those children Im glad your on board tho!

[kindakrazy2]

OH wow! That photo of Javen almost asleep is so precious! That beautiful little face......

Sorry you had crappy service at Coral Reef. That really sucks because that should have been such a special meal. Grrrr....

Aww thanks! I love it when the kids are soooo tired its hard for them to hold there eyes open LOL--There too cute!!

Yeah BOOOO on our bad service- I sure was hpoing it was gonna be a good one, for Dane anyway. Ohwell

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Those are some great pictures! I love the sleeping one, too.

Too bad you didn't enjoy the Coral Reef. At least you liked the food. It seemed like they just got so swamped with all the people in the restaurants that they didn't care if they gave good service.

 

[timandlesley]

So sorry Coral Reef was a bust, glad you at least enjoyed the food. We had a wonderful server and maybe because it was my b-day and tim had called ahead for the special menus (which you had no luck with) and the divers we got the tank side table and great service. Makes me re think it for future no-b-day trips though. The buses after Illuminations are THE WORST! Can't wait to see what's next, enjoying all your great pictures!

[Dylan_&_Blake's_mom]

Great TR. Can't wait to hear more, especially since we will be going to AK for the first time when we go in 3 weeks. Can't wait to see the pics. I'm a complete photo nut as well. We will be driving from Illinois. Will go 11 hours on first day, stop outside of Atlanta, Ga for the night and then drive the remaining 7 hours the next day...so I know how ya feel.This time we will be traveling with a 6 month old breastfed only son as well as the older two so it will be interesting. Did your boys really like the pirate cruise. What kind of stuff did they do? I was considering it for my boys (9 & 6) since they are obsessed with POTC and all things pirate but I am a MAJOR worrywart. How many cm's did they have with how many children? Is it really safe, I mean you don't have to worry about them on the boat with them and you don't have to worry about someone taking them(your children) I am freaking about the not being with them and leaving them with total strangers while we are in a different state even. My husband keeps saying it will be ok but I don't know if I could do it. I would be swimming alongside the boat trying to keep my eye on them...lol, yes, I know that I am crazy. So sorry to ramble on but when I saw that your boys went on it I couldn't resist hounding you with questions about it. Thank you so much for listening to my rantings.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Just finished catching up after being gone for the past few days.

Love the picture where Captain Hook has his hook up against Dane's neck.

Too funny that your mom thought that it was actually Johnny Depp dressed up as Captain Jack

 

[LeeLee2U]

Those pics of Dane and Javen are priceless!!!!!!!!
Sorry about CR. We had a similar experience at a different place. Great food Lousy service!! Oh well if you got to have one or the other, I'll take the great food!!
