Day 5 – Tuesday, May 3rd

Headed to MGM this day. Weather was nice and sunny… we hit Indiana Jones, Star Tours, lunch at Pizza Planet using the dining plan, and then a preview showing of Lights Motors Yawn. Oops! I mean Lights Motors Action. (Hee hee) :blush: Definitely not my favorite attraction. The kids were bored, there was too much talking, and I was glad when it was over. Sorry Disney, love ya, but this one needs some work. :teeth:

The highlight of the day was definitely the meet and greet with the Incredibles!!!!

The boys seriously almost BURST from excitement. :banana: They were in heaven. :cloud9: I must have taken like 25 pictures of them and videotaped. ;) It’s so neat to see your kids see their Heroes up close and in person. No wonder we keep going back over and over again. :goodvibes
After that we headed back to the Poly to rest before dinner. That night was Cape May and my first encounter with a DISer!!!!! :wave: “StitchInside” was there having dinner with her family and we got to talk quite a bit. (And actually kept running into each other over the next few days) I guess DISers just know where to be, right??? It was really great getting to talk with them… super great, friendly, nice people! ;)

That night we were going to do the late night hours at Epcot but we got rained out and headed back to the Poly. Luckily we drove our rental car to dinner that night because it was POURING hard and lightning. Really bad weather that night … and not the type of rain where you can just put your poncho on and go… this was a real storm. That night, back in the room, the kids watched the bedtime stories and I finally got a chance to post a quick update on the DIS. So the night wasn’t a total loss.
 
I've loved reading your trip reports. Your boys are absolutely adorable. I love the Incredibles picture! I'm glad you had a great trip! :flower:

I was thinking of trying CMC for dinner. How was it? Do you happen to remember the add-on charge for the crablegs?
 
Nope, sorry, we didn't have the crablegs and actually I didn't even know they offered them! ;)
 

Erika :wave: ,
Lovin' your reports, but, FYI, Stitch Inside pirate: is a he. You spoke to my DW :bride: , PigletFan05.
 
Uh oh!!! :blush: Sorry about that! When your wife came up to me at Cape May she said stitchinside so I thought that was her! :teeth: Now I know who's who! ;) It was very nice meeting you both!! :wave:
 
Your reports are great! They are really making me want to take my kids back.Only 9 months.. :wave2:
 
Erika,
Sounds like a wonderful trip so far. You are really making me want to stay at the Poly on my next trip. I look forward to reading the rest of your report :)
 
Thank you for sharing your family vacation and photos as well! Your children are adorable-- :earboy2:

Where is day 6-10?? Can't wait to read more... .
Thanks again for sharing!!!!
 
I am still working on Day 6. :) It is very hard to edit down because I have so many pictures from the press event. I might even have to make two posts, I don't know. But it is coming!! :)
