Promise to have them up sometime wed, as I only have to work Mon and Tues this week. Inlaws are going to the beach for motherinlaws b-day and Brotherinlaw will be at a care home.

Inlaws couldn't get bil in at care home so I will be over at their house wed to fri night late taking care of him. have access to a computer there but don't have pictures loaded on to photobucket yet. working on it now so I can do some tonight and some of it durning the week over there at inlaws house.
 
This morning was a little slow going but we all got up and showered and to the Transportion Station to catch the monorail to MK for the early morning hours and of course there is a line to get on the monorail and I wasn't sure if everyone waiting was going to fit on it. Kevin wanted to ride the ferry, I said no we rode it to and fro last time we were here in 02, let's do the monorail. So the monorail arrives and we get in and all four of us are standing. It starts going and we are going through the Contemporary and Cheif Mickey breakfast is going on and we can see the characters interacting with those eating and there wasn't all that many people there. We get to the Kingdom at 8:13 and I take this

We go thru the gates and head down Main Street towards Tommowland but first I get pictures of the castle,

I ask Kevin if we could get a Potopass one done his reply not right now, let's ride some rides real quick. So on to Tomorrowland
Disney07327.jpg

so Kevin and Ryan can ride this
IMG_0015.jpg

Haley and I sit outside for them and watch the line for Space Mt get longer and longer. It takes my guys 20 mins to get in and out. We decide to head over to
IMG_0017.jpg

This was a no wait and so very cute. But I wasn't expecting to get wet on this, and from Haley, Mom there they go again doing those stinky smells again. The part where Stitch brups, I thought it smelt just like a chilli dog and it made me hungry. When we are done we head on to Liberty Square to get to Splash Mt and Thunder Mt to ride them but first we get our picture done in front(well all little to the side) of the castle but I forgot to ask the photographer to take one with my camera so you will just have to wait to see them after I get CD. Here a pic on our way over to the other mts.
IMG_0020.jpg
the replica of the real Liberty Bell.
We look over the lines to both of the Mts and decide to ride Splash first and get FastPasses for Thunder. So Kevin and kids get in line for Splash and I go and get the FP for Thunder. Get back in line and take this
IMG_0025.jpg

We have about a 20 min wait. Go through the inside of the little building and out the backside and around and finianlly we are there, we get the first two rows and Kevin and Ryan in the front, cus Haley and I don't want the front seats. Oh, yes Haley hates, absotootly hates log rides. Hates them with a passion, but we told her that she had to come on this one with us. She enjoys it till.....................................
 
Till thishappens

Note she is the one with her face all scrunched up, not liking the 50' drop at all, can't see me behind Kevin and Ryan's hands up in the air in front of us.
But she is happy that we(she & I) didn't get wet from the drop. After the ride take these pics of Slash MT.

Then off the Pirates of the Caribbean ,

back of Kevin's head and hat.
we get in line a 20 min wait. Meet and talk to a nice family from Ohio. As we are shuffle through the line inside of they pass us some how and by the time we are near the boarding area one of older of the three boys in the nice family says, Hey, we were behind this family when we came in how did we pass them? Then has us go in front of them to make it right. We didn't care if they had passed us or not. It was crowded inside and we wound up in the same boat with them sitting behind us. Again wasn't expecting to get a bit wet on this ride either. Loved the Last Cpt. Jack scene. Just love the skeleton pirate in the crow's nest outside of the building.

After our brush with the pirates we go and use the FP for Thunder Mt.
While we are in line for this one I'm trying to put my sunglasses into the bag I have and the CM asks me for my FP and I look up at him, and he takes it right out of my mouth , sorry folks but my hands were full and Kevin was giving the kids their FP so that they could give them to the CM. The CM didn't care, just laughed at me. I thanked him and walked on. We had fronts seats again, the guys let us in front and they sat behind us on this one. Haley loved this ride, even though she keep asking if there was a big drop.
Had to reassure her that there wasn't one, that it just went fast and turn quickly and that it had rolling hills. I waved to the Train as it we went by. Haley goes THey can't see you, mom. Me-I don't care they were waving first.
That's the way we do it here in NC, everyone waves as they are driving in there cars in the country, Mts, at the beachs and in the some in the big cities. After we get off I take this of the Mt.
IMG_0029.jpg

Then we head to the Jungle Cruise to get FP for it, then get a bite of lunch.
Get the FP and decide to eat at El Pirata Y el Perico also know as the Pirate and the Parrot. But first we see Hook and Smee. Ryan wants to get his picture taken with them so the two of us get in line. And the CM with them says that the characters are leaving but will be back in two mins. Look at Ryan , Ok. But he catches up with his Dad and sister in the restuarant while I wait in line to save of place. They (hook and smee) come back and so does Ryan. He tells me that he doesn't want to any more and I look at him like, "boy don't even try me" There was a group of kids with three adults in front of us, and that had put him off but after seeing that only half of the kids wanted to get their pics taken with Hook and Smee. Rayn changed his mind.
Here is the pic of Ryan with the pirates.
IMG_0037.jpg

Then we meet up with Kevin and Haley. Kevin goes the restuarant doesn't open till 12 and it is only 7 after 11. So we head over to
IMG_0038.jpg

We all order something different to eat and get two kinds of different desserts, two of each. The kids and Kevin eat everything that they ordered and me, I wasn't all that hungry and ate about half of the bbq sandwich and fries that i had gotten. And the peanutbutter brownie thing that was one of the desserts, Ryan eat both of the yogurts and Haley the other Brownie thing only she eat all of it and what was left of mine. As we are headed back to The Jungle Cruise we see this
IMG_0042.jpg

it is the Pirate Tutorial. Ryan can we watch. kevin can you find a spot and we did. On some rocks under the PotC flag/crow's nest.
Here is a good shot of Cpt Jack(looks just like Johnny D)
IMG_0044.jpg

And him Running off.
IMG_0045.jpg

Apparently we caught the last 10 mins of the show.
So off we go to
IMG_0032.jpg

Were we stand in line in the FP line for 10 mins. Here are some pic from standing in line as we wait.
IMG_0048.jpg

IMG_0050.jpg
if you pull up on the handle after a mintue it would start jumping.
IMG_0051.jpg
Haley and I love cats. But I'm not so sure I want one of these.
This is the boat that we caught.
IMG_0053.jpg

The drivers name slips my mine, but she was good with throwing around the puns. Here are some pics from this ride.
IMG_0067.jpg
pretty sure that I saw this on a different ride back in 02, in a different kingdom.
IMG_0071.jpg

We had a Birthday Boy on our cruise. So the driver said that she had a song for him and began to sing it. Here it goes. "This is your Birthday song, it isn't very long. Hey!" The little guy wasn't to impressed. So she told him(and Us) some jokes. One--Why is Christopher Robin so unpopular?- Because he plays with Pooh all day. Another--Why is Cinderella so bad at soccer?--Because she is always running FROM the ball. There was two more but can't remember them. We disembark from our cruise and head towards Toontown. As we are going to Toontown we spy to characters cutting up in front of Tea Cups.
Ryan looks at me, Can we? Yes , let's. So he and I get in line and a CM goes sorry everyone but the characters need a break but will return in two mins. Didn't I hear this earlier.
Stay tune to see if we Opt to stay or go.
 
We had the WORST boat captain on the Jungle Cruise this year! :sad2: I was so disappointed, because we had my sister and her crew with us that day, and let's face it - it is a corny ride to begin with, so you need to get a good captain to make it EXTREMELY corny... ;)

This captain was from France and had such a thick accent that you couldn't understand any of her punny jokes.. My sister and I TRIED to react to the "jokes", but the rest of the boat sat there in total silence. Bob just looked at me and said, "you wasted a FP on this?" oh well... :confused3
 
Maggie, Rags, Jackie, CK, Brittany, Mandy, Renee (hope I didn't forget anyone!)... I have really been enjoying the pics and stories. Maggie... that is too cute of Haley-bug on Splash!
 
We started the day with Chef Mickey's at 11:00. The food was good... but that was it! We were seated in the far corner of the room, with only a dozen or so tables. The characters hardly came into this section. We would watch them visit the other tables 3 or 4 times, dance and act silly... but when they came to our corner they were hurried and borderline rude. Mickey paused for a picture, but then left without signing their books. He acted very put out that we called him back. Goofy signed their books, but then threw (literally) the pen onto the table. Pluto and Donald were friendly but rushed. Minnie did come by several times, visited and interacted with the kids. All in all, I was very disappointed, and will never be returning here.

Pics of kids and characters...

Avery and Tucker did enjoy spinning their napkins around. They were both just a little out of control!

DSC01281.jpg


After leaving Chef Mickey, we caught the monorail to the transportation center, then on to Epcot. The kids really wanted to pilot the monorail, so we waited a couple of trains until we found an available train. It was SO worth the wait to see their faces as we drove through Epcot! We hopped off, and the kids went with Wynn to get in line for Nemo, while I went for FP to Soarin'. They were gone. So I head to Test Track. They are gone. So I go to Mission Space. They are available, so I get 1, then the machine prints out "invalid ticket" for the other 3. HUH?? I ask the attendant, and he gives me 3 passes, and tells me to go to guest services to get my tickets straightened out. I head over to Nemo, and the 45 min line is really moving fast. I squeeze my way through looking for them... and get all the way to the front of the line without finding them... so I go out the chain without riding. The CM tries to get me to ride anyway, but I told her I wouldn't feel right hopping in front of everyone, and then riding without my kids. I stand by the exit, and they finally come out... I must have JUST missed them! We go through the aquarium, then decide to go to the resort and enjoy the pool. On the way out, I stop by guest services to ask about the tickets. Apparently they are erased. He offered me temporary passes, but since we were going back to the hotel, I tell him not to worry about it, and I will just go get new cards. Then I asked if I could get fast passes for Soarin' since they wouldn't work in the machines :rolleyes1 ... and he gives me 8! SCORE!! :cheer2: We go swim a few hours, eat at Pepper Market (YUMMO!), then head back to Epcot for EMH. We use our FP for Mission Space, parent swap for Test Track, then head over to ride Soarin' twice, and the land ride. We go back through Nemo... all of us... then hit Turtle Talk. By this time the park is closing, so we head out. Avery is asleep between the gate and the bus... so I had to carry her.

DSC01288.jpg


Tucker didn't make it past the bus ride, either! Wynn put him in the stroller to take back to the room, and I carried Avery. I never knew 35 pounds was so HEAVY when its dead weight!

And so ends an eventful day. It was fun, despite the rocky start. Sorry about the lack of pics... we stayed so busy that I forgot to snap much of anything... guess that is a good reason to plan another trip! :idea:
 
Kari: Sorry to hear the interaction at Chef Mickey's wasn't the best. :sad1: I hope the kids enjoyed it - they did look happy in the photos. :)

That is SO GREAT about EIGHT fast passes! :banana: We had trouble with the FP at Big Thunder Mountain and ToT, but the CM just handed me them instead. Wonder what was up with that?

Yes, 35 pounds is a lot to lug around when it is TOTALLY ASLEEP! lol:rotfl:

Renée
 
character interaction was horrible when we did CM's for dinner. We were there for over an hour and never saw all of the characters.
