Day 4 Tuesday More crying and wanting to leave. Will this ever stop!
Today we got up at 6:30 and were at the bus stop by 7. A huge accomplishment with so many people. We watched as two Magic kingdom buses came and at the second one we asked where our bus was, it had been a half an hour and we had 8 am PSs with Donald. He called on his radio and told us a few minutes. 10 minutes later, the bus shows up and we get on. We headed straight to AK and ran to the gate, it 8 am and they still werent letting anyone in for PSs. Needless to say, we were a little late but the food was good and the interaction was great. We missed Pluto completely cuz Mickey was at our table still so Pluto didnt stop. He never came back around either. Garren didnt eat much so we took a banana with us for later. I saw that a lot of people were doing the same. The girls cried cuz they couldnt get autographs and take pictures of the characters at the same time. I did take pictures but they wanted some on their own camera. We got out of there in a little over an hour. Later in the day Katie will realize she left her lanyard and pins at the table and Alyson will have left her autograph book.
We walked very fast to Kilimanjaro Safaris and it was only a 20-minute wait posted. It actually went faster than that. I got some great shots but Elizabeth and Alyson kept crying cuz they couldnt focus and shoot fast enough and kept missing the animals. Elizabeth was crying hard cuz I told her she couldnt lean over the back of her chair or she would be in my shots and that got her really upset. She was already sitting on the edge seat so there was no one in front of her but she never had her camera ready in time for the animals. She kept closing the lens.
We left that ride with Elizabeth in tears. We hit Kali River rapids and each went on at least two times. Wait time was posted at 10 minutes but it only took about 5. It was raining on and off and was a really dreary looking day. It wasnt all that warm but perfect for us New Englanders. Id rather not have the sun beating down on us. We went to Dinoland and were deciding what ride to do first. About that time, DHs relatives called us that they were at the park too. I accidentally still had MILs ticket from yesterday so DH met her at the gate. They asked where they should go first and he told them Kilimanjaro. DH met us back in Dinoland and he went on the rides with the kids, I had already done so while he was gone. There really was no wait. We hit Resterauntasaurus and they actually had both the lanyard and book. The girls were elated. DHs relatives did Kilimanjaro and his Aunt loved it. (She is a picture taker and also loves anything Minnie Mouse. Yesterday at MGM she bought a Minnie Mouse hat and left it on her son.) Soon enough MIL called and said she didnt want to hang with her brother anymore since they were so slow and met up with us at Pizzafari. The restaurant was pretty inside. The food was not bad but a little pricey. We all had pizza except Garren who I got Quesadillas. Well, he ate the pizza so the rest of us split his food. WE went on to finish everything we wanted to do well before closing. We even hit Camp Minnie & Mickey and got photos and autographs with everyone in under ½ and hour. We didnt see any shows but it was still good. Elizabeth had been crying all day and stated several times that she just wanted to go back home to her mothers. DH was very upset with her and told her she may not come next time if this behavior continues. She was being rude and lashing out at everyone and we just couldnt take it anymore. Even MIL got upset with her bad attitude and refused to stand up for her. I was very happy with that since she usually lets Elizabeth do whatever she wants. That really made Elizabeth mad. Alysons shoe broke and I ended up buying her a $14 pair of flip-flops. I hate when you have no choices!
We hopped on a bus back to the hotel and the girls were mad they werent swimming. DH and I had planned a night out for our Anniversary (it was actually on Wednesday) and left Katie in our room with the boys. Kim took the girls to the Boardwalk for some fun. DH and I went to Epcot with his Uncle and Aunt but never actually made it into the park. I had forgotten our tickets in the room, so DH was mad at me again. We convinced his Uncle to go without us and went back to the hotel. It was supposed to be an EMH night (or so I had written down from the Disney website) but the park closed at 9 and it was already 8 so we werent gonna try and go back. We ran into the girls on the Boardwalk and I was upset and crying cuz DH was so mad. Its not like I did it on purpose. I left him there and went upstairs to fins Katie in MILs room with the boys. I cannot remember who the girls were with downstairs either. I took the boys back to the room and we went to bed. DH came up later and went to bed too. We did not speak at all. It ended as a very bad day.
