Me too!! My daughter would be so embarrassed!!

I think Andrew would probably join in if I started doing it! Lucky for the both of us, I'd be way too embarrassed to try it!

 

[jc040404]

After hearing all about the tour experience, we split up yet again. This time, Andrew and I were together to make use of one of those FPs the CM had given us earlier. John took Blake for another ride on LWTL.

We had a fun ride and could have taken another with the other FP, but decided to end our Epcot day for now. I found someone to gift the FP and we walked out of the Land.. And into the rain! It had rained pretty hard during our lunch, and seemed to be back again. The stroller was drenched, but it should be used to this. Blake simply walked along beside for now. He was going to be one tired boy later!

It was getting somewhat late, but we weren’t ready to say goodbye to WDW completely. Near the monorail, a plan to move on to MK was formed with a slight twist. Blake and John would hurry to relocate the car, but Andrew and I would race to the TTC by monorail! We love our races!

He's looking soo much older!

That monorail easily beat the car to the TTC, of course. Blakers fell asleep on his journey, so he didn’t seem to mind much. We all took the ferry across and searched for some fun. Before much else, we needed to break for dinner!

Taking a path around the castle to Fantasyland, Andrew and I let John take sleeping Blakers on to CHH without us. We wanted to grab a set of FPs for Pooh’s ride, hoping they might come due during our meal. At the machines, Andrew decided to let me have the fun of getting FPs this time. I played along, but not as he expected.

“I can’t do it!” I pretended to pout so he could take the opportunity to “teach” me.

All at once, two guests and a CM rushed to my side! Awesome that so many wanted to help me learn how to use FP, right? I bet I looked like such a brat when I crossed my arms and whined about it not working! I quickly explained that I was just playing around for Andrew’s benefit. Too funny.

We had dinner upstairs at CHH, with a bit of Blaker drama mixed in. The little guy was a grump for a bit after waking and didn’t care to eat anything. If he didn’t eat, we weren’t going to be able to stick around very long! It took some convincing, but he finally gave in and gobbled up his dinner. Finished, he was glued to mommy again. I began to wonder if we should head out of the parks anyway. This didn’t look good and I thought he was just done with Disney for a bit.

John and Andrew split from us to grab some waters when they’d finished eating. We were all going to meet downstairs. As I slowly walked down with Blake, I heard that silly bell ringing. Someone at CHH was celebrating a birthday and the CMs were about to sing. This is always so crazy, but Andrew enjoys counting how many times we listen to it during our meals. Haha.. I think the most ever stands at six during a lunch once! I must’ve forgotten why we were at Disney this visit, because I never expected to see that my Andy-Roo was the one they were singing to!

Not only was Andrew receiving big birthday recognition, but it was also inspired by his most favorite CHH CM, Stacey! As soon as she noticed Andrew was here, and it was his birthday, she took him to the counter for everyone to sing!

If you followed along on the last TR, you might remember an extra special CM (CP, I believe?) from Chicago that the boys absolutely loved. She was amazing and would remember them each and every time we’d visit. The boys loved the extra attention, and the cookies she brought to them. We hadn't seen her since the beginning of the AP year, when she was headed back home. It was awesome to see that she was back at Disney, so we all gathered for a chat to catch up. It had been so long! She said she’d been asking about “her” family, and everyone told her “they all come back!” It made me laugh. I think we do all eventually go back at some point, right? Disney is soo addictive. Andrew thought her being back to work at WDW was an extra special treat for his birthday trip!

We parted and took on Fantasyland for a while. Blake’s mood had instantly improved at the sight of Stacey, but he didn’t let up on the “Mommy’s boy” thing. He was glued to my hip the entire time! While carrying my baby through the line at Snow White’s ride, I couldn’t help but play on one of Rabbit’s lines..

“Why me? Why mee??” I teased him.

Blake thought this was hysterical and burst into giggle fits. It was so much fun! We kept it up for the rest of the evening! I start it anytime he’s being extra clingy at home now. No matter his mood, it can instantly light those blue eyes.

The night was the usual, with nothing especially different than any other visit. While this was originally intended to be our last visit of the AP year, I knew we'd never manage to let that last month go without a proper "last" trip. We bounced from favorite attraction to the next, having a great time. John did somehow manage to talk me into doing a ten minute standby at Buzz when we had FPs that were ready! It turned out to be much longer, but we did have another quick FP ride just after. He gets away with that one for now. We decided to pack it up and leave closer to closing.

Wow! Not bad at all!! I don't remember this particular ride at all, but the proof is in the pictures!

Ha-ha!

Must be John's score.. He got so much better at this ride as the year went on, too!!

The ferry won after seeing the sea of guests in the monorail lines. It the same fun as the last time, minus children pushing strollers. People were wild, but we all made it on alive. Before we made it very far prior to boarding, I was distracted by something near those turnstiles. Was it counting the guests that went through? I wanted to inquire, but never remembered to. I snapped a pic anyway!

Show Load: 735, Remaining(I think?): -135

What does it meeeeaannn?? Too bad it's blurry so it makes no sense at all!

Big day, but fun day!

There are only two days left!!

 

[AprilRenee]

There are only two days left!!

Nooooooo!!!!!

But I'm glad you got to see your CHH friend before your year ended I bet she loved that!

 

[CAStevens218]

The fact that your trip report is almost done is simply not acceptable! You will need to get you APs renewed just to entertain me please!

I took you up on your recommendations of CHH and we ate lunch there this past trip! It was yummy!!!!!

 

[jc040404]

My pictures are safe!! I've been working on my computer tonight and I've recovered them all! I'm not sure if the machine is going to work again, but at least the important stuff is safe!! I'm learning so much about computers today, too. haha.. I'll be adding some pics to the previous posts in the next few days.

Nooooooo!!!!!

But I'm glad you got to see your CHH friend before your year ended I bet she loved that!

I can't believe I'm almost done with this!

It was nice to see her again before the year was up. I think John had asked about her before, so we knew she was back anyway. This was the first time we'd all been at CHH at the same time though. It was fun to catch up.

Just noticed the number on your ticker... FIVE days to go!!! I'm excited (and jealous!) that you're going so soon. How are you feeling?? I hope you're doing another TR!

The fact that your trip report is almost done is simply not acceptable! You will need to get you APs renewed just to entertain me please!

I nearly had John convinced a few days ago with some talk about the Easter Bunny! We're stuck with the mall rabbit if we don't do Disney.

Glad you liked CHH!

 

[PirateKate]

Sounds like a great birthday trip! It's so cool that all your guys have the same birthday.

I'm glad you recovered all your pictures!

It was a nice visit! We think the shared birthday thing is pretty nifty, too.

Getting the pics back was incredible. I really worried they were gone. My computer is as old as Andrew, so I guessed its time had just finally come. Amazingly, I'm working it right now!

 

[jc040404]

Pictures added to June 13th & 14th if anyone's interested in looking back. I took a lot more than I thought I had.


Updates coming soon.. With only two days left to write about, I'm starting to feel the Disney blues in a big way and reeeeally miss the place. So long as I had this, I don't think it really felt *over* yet. Looks like I'm almost there now. Sadness.

 

[Dugette]

I'm glad my DIS-slowness paid off, since you had pictures up by the time I read the last few updates!

Glad that you guys enjoyed staying at POR so much (except for Blakers' fall), it's such a pretty resort.

Very cool that the boys got a birthday phone call (and Fast Passes). We had an anniversary one once and, even though I knew what it was about from other TRs, it was still really cool.

I loved hearing Andrew's take on the Behind the Seeds tour. I've always heard that's a great tour, but I've never seen much detail on what it's like. I'm glad Andrew had such a great time!

How neat that your favorite CM was back at CHH that time!

Great Buzz scores for both of you! Did John learn the "cheats" too?

I can't believe your TR is almost over!

I asked John about the cheats, but he's claiming not to know them. I know Andrew told him one, so I'm not so sure. He still hasn't beaten me, so I don't mind either way!

This TR is taking forever to complete. Maybe it's not such a bad thing to finally finish it!

 

[jc040404]

"The time has come.."

Too early for the boys to be up, but too excited to sleep in the car, I said those awful words. Their meaning was never very exciting. Time to pick up your toys. Time to go home from the park. Time for bed. I mentioned this more in the first TR, during Andrew’s Alice days. The words were met with silence this time, instead of the usual arguments for just a few more minutes of fun. We all wanted “just five more minutes” but it was time for this chapter of Disney to close. Neither boy spoke much on that drive.

Nearing our Disney destination, a forgotten item popped into my mind so a quick stop was needed. During our last DHS visit, Blake and I had managed to lose a Fozzie pressed penny. Yes, we dropped two during that stay. There’s a reason John is usually in charge of the change! He paused at a CVS for me to get a few. We’ve had bad luck when it comes to getting pennies in the parks, so it would be best to take care of ahead of time. I only asked the CVS cashier for five, making sure to purchase a few things, and got a huge smile with them. This must be common. She knew exactly why I wanted this.

Back on the road, we all agreed on the plans for letting this year go. We’d follow much the same schedule as the last visit, with a DHS start and MK to finish it up. Getting to DHS early was important because we needed to take care of Blake’s first real Disney ticket! Thank goodness our CVS stop had been quick.

“If you can’t find me, I can live at Disney!”

After dealing with the ticket business, we joined the waiting line of guests. I was a little sad to see John leave Blake in the stroller. This was a big moment for the little guy after all. Turning three had turned him into a big kid who required a real WDW ticket. Shouldn’t he be the first to use it? Looking back, I’m not certain Andrew got out for his first ticket, so it was okay. Blake didn’t know any different anyway.

Through the turnstiles, we split up, of course. This time, I took Andrew’s hand and headed towards a rope nearer to Star Tours. Blake and John would collect the TSM FPs. It worked perfectly. Andrew and I soon stood at the rope to wait for opening.

We people watched and somehow got pushed back a bit in the crowd. When the woman ahead of us realized, she was quick to offer Andrew the rope again. She didn’t want him to miss seeing the parade! He giggled and said we were okay. He’d seen this parade before. Andrew is either the most awesome child in the world or so sooo bad. I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing. It would be quite a long while before that parade got here! Maybe we should’ve explained, but his playing along made it all too funny.

After spotting some characters waving to everyone, the parade was over. Rope pulled away, most around us rushed to the right, obviously on to TSM. Others broke off to sign up for Jedi training. There wasn’t much of the crowd left when we finally got to Star Tours and we were able to walk right on.

Andrew and I were given end seats in row two this time. He settled in and I secured his seat belt. We couldn’t wait to see where our journey might take us this time, though I silently hoped for another Darth Vader moment. Sadly, it just wasn’t meant to be. What did happen, however, was so much better! As our ride was stopped to locate that rebel spy, I watched the screen to see Andy-Roo’s picture appear! I was so excited and quickly turned to him. He was staring at the image, a look of fear on his little face. Even though he knew the routine, I think he was just a little bit worried about being the one they were looking for!

The ride got even better, with another pod race. Andrew loves that. We ended in Naboo, which wasn’t all that interesting to either of us. I can’t recall who gave us more instructions before, but I remember wishing it was Princess Leia instead and not paying attention. Andrew loves when she’s part of the ride and it would’ve been so perfect. I hear the words, “Help me, mommy. You’re my only hope.” waaayyy too much because of her!

Leaving our ride, Andrew was now thrilled at having been the spy and couldn’t wait to tell his father. He declared it the "best Star Tours ride EVER" and couldn't stop smiling. Unfortunately, that TSM FP line must’ve been quite a mess. They weren’t back just yet. We wasted time browsing the store and then snapped a quick picture outside.

While taking the pic, I couldn’t help but notice the five minute wait for Star Tours.

“It’s only five minutes...”

Not a word more needed to be spoken. I looked at Andrew. He looked up at me. We both smiled and raced to the line.

He wasn’t the spy this time, but the ride was identical to the last in every other way. Disappointing! For so many possibilities here, we sure seem to get the same stuff all the time! We found John and Blake waiting after this one.

 

[CAStevens218]

Sounds like a fun start to the day! It must have been so cool to see Andrew's picture up on the screen! And, of course, when a ride only has a 5 minute wait when you get off, its almost mandatory to go right back on!!!!

It was pretty nifty. I never expected either of us would ever get picked for this one, but I think he was the only little kid in our group. Maybe that was a factor in being chosen? They seemed to pick little boys the times we've been on it. Whatever it was, I'm super glad that it happened for him!

 

[jc040404]

Together again, it was time to move on to the Animation Courtyard. Andrew and John would do their drawing class while Blake and I played. We entertained ourselves with the usual games inside before joining the line for the next Disney Junior show. Blake had asked to wear his pirate map shirt just to see Jake this day!

We love Sharky & Bones!

That show is so much more fun just with my little Blakers. He gets into things a lot more when big brother isn’t around. He must worry about Andrew’s opinion of him? He loves Disney Junior and we always have a lot of fun.

I guessed John and Andrew would probably be waiting outside for us at this point, but got a big surprise when we stood up. They had just managed to sneak into the show before the doors closed and watched the entire thing from the back. How perfect! I felt a little bad that Andrew was missing this. Even though he claims it's a "baby" show, he still really loves seeing it. It was great that things worked out for him to watch with us.

Outside, John was excited to show off his Goofy artwork.

Not that bad!

Andrew claimed this one was just a little too difficult and has asked that I don’t share his.

Our TSM FP time was up, so we made the short walk to Pixar Place. Blake got first ride again, of course. “It’s only fair,” came from Andrew’s lips first this time.

This TSM ride was a big one for Blakers. It was his very first ride with his very own FP. He usually carried mine anyway, but it was so much more exciting to be a big kid and have his own. He held both and proudly presented them to the CM. My baby was growing up again. At the 3d glasses, he needed a bit of boost to reach, but grabbed both sets on his own, too.

My big kid and I were directed to the right again, and hurried up the stairs to skip that long wait.

When Andy-Roo’s turn came, I didn’t think we’d have quite the same luck. A larger group with a GAC entered the FP line before us and was directed to the regular line of waiting guests. If the past was any predictor of the future, I guessed we’d probably be joining them. We didn’t have quite the same luck if following a group. Thankfully, it was with us still and the same CM waved me to the right side of the stairs.

Our ride would have some odd issues all the same. When our turn to board came, the gate never opened, but some CMs opened the car. It was having trouble and went ahead without us. When we did finally start our ride, everything seemed rushed and different. We even lost an entire scene near the end! How weird..

I took a score pic, despite not having a clue what’s a good score and missing that last bit of ride

A whole family again, the Great Movie Ride was suggested, but the wait would be much too long. It was backed up outside a door to the right that we’d never entered before. That was definitely “skippable” for the moment, so the boys checked out the sidewalk instead.

Our lunch time was coming up soon enough, so we opted to see if we could get in early. We were off to Sci-Fi, of course! It was toasty outside, but oddly not quite as bad as the last visit in June. Even so, a break in the AC sounded great. Checking in, the CM informed me that we might be in for a wait. That wait was only about five minutes before were called back!

The boys were in awe of that speed limit sign this time. Why hadn't we paid attention to it before?? We could’ve been speeding all this time! I don’t know why, but sticking to the speed limit is pretty important to both of them.. Andy-Roo was quick to remind the CM that walked us to our car not to go more than 5mph!

Not leaving Blakers out, the CM asked him how he was doing.

“I’ve been here before!” he proudly announced.

We all decided that meant he was doing great!

Switching things up, I took a seat in the second row with Andrew. I’m usually a front seat with Blake kind of rider/diner. It didn’t last long before John and I were switching. Our poor server was so confused by the change and thought he’d gone to the wrong table.

Lunch was great. Not much to say there, especially since I’ve written about eating here a couple of times already. We always get the same stuff, but I don’t take pictures.

Finished up with lunch, I couldn’t resist grabbing a set of Star Tours FPs. We got a big surprise to see Blake was now tall enough to ride, too!

“I’m forty inches now!”

Poor baby. He’s still not quite forty inches! Star Tours is Blake’s Splash “Water” Mountain. He can’t wait to ride this one! Unfortunately, it looks like he's really going to be a little guy. We're all crossing our fingers that he makes it by his birthday!

I *will* finish this soon.

 

[CAStevens218]

John drew a great Goofy!!! I'm impressed!

I have no idea what a good score is in Toy Story Mania either, but yours looks pretty good to me!

Blake is too cute....he'll be very excited when the day finally comes that he reaches 40 inches!

I sometimes think John might like that class even more than Andrew does! He does a pretty nice job on some of them.

I'm reeeally hoping he makes it to 40 inches by June. He was right around 38 earlier this month. I don't know if it's possible for him to grow a little more than two inches in five months, but we're not giving up. It might just push us into APs for birthday presents if he makes it.

 

[jc040404]

Moving back across the park, Blake requested to see his favorite girl’s show. We were definitely going to see this one. Our mission for the visit was to hit all of our most favorites that I knew we’d be missing in no time. Blake’s love for Ariel had only grown so we had to take advantage of the time we had with it!

We joined the Disney Channel Rocks mess for a short bit. Andrew loves any excuse to dance and act a little silly.

Voyage of the Little Mermaid wasn’t due for a short while, but everyone was filing into the building. We joined the mess of sweaty, smelly guests to wait. It was so noisy in there! And sooo stinky! You could definitely tell it was summer! Blake entertained himself by playing pirate with a DVC sticker.

^my favorites in the show. They're just too cute!

“Not so scary” Ursula!

John really wanted to see the Great Movie Ride just one more time before our AP adventures were up, so we were off in that direction next. It isn’t that often that he makes a specific ride or activity request, so we were doing this no matter the wait!

*random hat picture* Sorry to the people who hate it, I love the hat.

Lucky for us, that building had completely cleared out.

Blake was excited!

Even luckier for us.. We finally got the cowboy(girl) scene!

How perfect for our last time on the ride! We’d all wanted to get this one, but none ever bothered to ask for it. We were thrilled to finally see what it was all about. It turned out to be extremely corny, but a lot of fun.

"..and your little dog, too!"

Even with the excitement of a new ride experience, Andrew was starting to get crabby. He needed a break, so we needed to go get checked in and out of the sun for a while. As much as I didn't want it to end, our time at DHS was over for this year. It stinks being an adult sometimes! We made a last minute stop to replace that Fozzy penny and gift our Star Tours FPs to another guest.

The sky seemed to agreed with our breaktime plans. It wasn’t pretty out there!

“Don’t pull the rope!”

As we neared Hollywood & Vine, Andrew spotted an “incredible” leaf on the ground. He grabbed it up and played with this silly thing the entire way to the car!

TTFN, DHS!

Doesn't he just look like trouble?

Leaving by the bag check table, Andrew held his leaf up to ask the CM if he liked it. The man just stared back and didn’t move. It was kinda funny. Andy-Roo cracked up and skipped away.

Next Up!! Someone will be with you.. Eventually!

 

[jc040404]

Back in the car, Blake became very concerned. He somewhat understood what this visit meant. Once it was over, we wouldn’t be going to Disney all the time. Soon, brother would be going to a place called “school” while he stayed home with mommy. It was a little more change than he wanted, and none of it sounded terribly fun! Buckled into his carseat, the little guy seemed to panic a bit.

“Are we going to a ‘zort?”

I loved the sudden “zort” (resort) and asked him to clarify.. The ‘zort?

“Can we pleeeease go to the ‘zort??” he seemed afraid that we were headed home already!

“What ‘zort? Didn’t you have fun?” I played with him.

“You know..The ‘zort. Pop Century!”

I assured him that the fun wasn’t over just yet. Poor little guy. I didn’t expect he’d be so upset over our AP adventures ending. Just wait until the next day!

Parked at Pop, we all walked in and joined the Online Check-In line. Sometimes I use it. Sometimes, I don’t. I’ve never really noticed much of a difference. On this visit, I definitely did! Only one family was ahead of us, with quite a few in the regular line. I thought I’d made such a smart decision. We’d be out of here well before that line even moved!

Or so I thought.. Only one CM was helping the online guest line, while everyone else took care of the other line. In no time at all, we were the only group waiting..

That stunk. We would’ve been in and out faster if I skipped the online check-in. While I never notice much of a difference, this was the longest check-in time yet. How odd is that?

Getting our fun folder and keys, we moved on to find our room. Settling in, the boys raced to see Stacey one more time

You know we always prefer the 80's/90's side of the resort, so I made a “Rubik's Cube View” request this visit. Oddly, I can’t remember what room we did end up with, but I don’t think it was in view of the cubes. It looks like we were in the 80's anyway.

Andrew needed a break from the park, but I didn’t plan to do naps at all during this visit. I knew he needed to get away from the crowds for a little bit, but I didn’t think we’d be at Pop for very long. Just getting away should be enough to recharge his mood. Our AP year was over and I wanted to fill every minute we had with park time.

John didn’t quite agree with this idea and it caused a bit of a headache for us for a while. We stayed in the room to watch Stacey, but I felt extremely restless. I was actually pretty thankful that the boys weren’t about to cooperate with a sleeping sort of break. John wasn’t pleased, but we were wasting valuable park time!

Back to the car!!

We decided on EPCOT, and spent some time catching all of our short-wait favorites. I think we just missed LWTL, but did enjoy finding Nemo, and a visit with Figment. The boys took advantage of that fun building and some playtime.

Sadly, Soarin wasn’t going to work. No FPs & too long of a wait!

After a while, tummies started to grumble and we were in search of food. This journey took us into WS, all the way around to Liberty Inn. Their kids’ wraps would be easy and not too heavy for the boys. We’re so adventurous, right?

Tummies full, we walked back outside to see that IllumiNations was about to begin! I’ve mentioned before that this isn’t my favorite thing in the world, and we didn’t really plan to watch it this time either. Instead of picking a spot to enjoy the show, we made a walking project of it. It was pretty neat to catch a view from different spots around WS. Now and then, we’d pause and join a group to see a little more, but were soon on our way again. It was quite a bit of fun to enjoy WS at night. Everything off the water’s edge was deserted!

Nearing Norway, the show was about over and the crowd was beginning to thicken. Walking was much more difficult and I worried we’d lose little Andrew. I held him close, but twice an ECV tried to cut between us! I was more than a little annoyed by the act, but our hands stayed glued together. There wasn't even half a foot of space between the two of us. Andrew noticed my frustration, of course, and looked up to me as we walked.

“Don’t worry, mom. It was just an old man traveling too fast!”

I don’t know why those words caught me the way they did, but I couldn’t help but laugh over it all. Trying to get out of WS after IllumiNations was an experience I don’t soon want to repeat!

We moved on in the mob, not sure where exactly we were headed. I knew EPCOT had PM EMH this day, so we tried to communicate a plan over the crowd noise. I thought it might be a good time to check Andrew’s height at Mission Space. He was so close on our last visit. Perhaps a month had done it?

Unfortunately, John didn’t hear my instructions very well, and we simply walked on. I didn’t even realize his path for a bit. The CMs directing everyone to the front were awesome. Almost all were dancing and using Mickey gloves. They were having a great time, despite the chaos!

At Spaceship Earth, I finally caught my husband’s arm and reminded him of PM EMH. He’d been on his way to the exit! I stopped him just in time to jump into the mess for this one anyway. Andrew and I stuck around, and let John deal with stroller duty. (When don’t we? )

This ride must be a headache for CMs when EMH is starting. While we waited for John and Blake to return, I saw so many try to join that line that shouldn’t. One group really tried to scam the poor CM and put up a big fight over it. There was yelling and lots of angry pointing. They weren’t staying on-site, but they did pay soooo much money. Yeah, you know the type! The CM was awesome and didn’t back down though!

After our ride, we stuck around inside to send our future home. I’d never taken the time to do that before this night. It was neat to watch all the faces fly off to different parts of the world. It seemed like most were being sent to Florida. It made me wonder. Are so many guests from the state, or do many simply choose where they’re at? It was nifty either way.

At the very same time, I was beginning to worry about the stroller. John said a CM directed him and another stroller person to a spot that wasn’t the same as usual. It concerned me to think of all the tired, whining children being carried by. How easy to place one in the unattended stroller and walk on! We’d only dealt with minor stroller theft (items left on it) in our Disney adventures. I didn’t want it to end in my Aria rolling away without us! That stroller has been too good to us and deserved better. Maybe I was being a little paranoid, but we rushed out to where he was told to park.

And it wasn’t there!!

Nooo!!

I thought my fear had come true for a moment, until a happy CM pointed us in another direction. There was my tired stroller, waiting for an even more tired Blaker to hop on. We decided to skip that Mission Space measurement and take our sleepy selves back to Pop for the night!

There's only one more Disney day left!!

 

[IheartDDuck]

I feel like I fell so far behind being out of town!

I got all caught up. How awesome is it that all of your boys share the same birthday. That's just so cool.

I can't believe that you're coming up on your last Disney day.
