Disney Vacay with the Love Bugs (New 6/23 update ~ Chef Mickeys)

[jenbear123]

Yikes I'm so behind! Thanks for the lovely review of Sci-fi. I'll be trying it for the first time in July. The portion sizes look massive. I wonder if they'll let me order from the kid's menu. I love those Mickey plates

Good work on keeping the secrets of sci fi a surprise! yeah good try with the 'flying saucer' table mr waiter! aka boring circular table versus cool drive in movie theatre car!

I loved our meal in sci fi! is definitely very atmospheric! glad Lexi and Levi really loved it!

I'm wondering if Lexi is going to like RRR???

You will love it when you go. Those portions are HUGE. I would hope you could order off the kids menu. If we had not been on the dining plan, that's what I would have done, because I can not eat that much! I only ate 1/2 of my pasta.

I felt bad for anyone agreeing to the 'flying saucer' table that did not know what the restaurant looked like inside!
Next chapter you'll find out what Lexi thinks of RRR! I almost have it posted...finally.

Yay! We're on Spring Break this week!!!!

In last post, I said we were on our way to RNRC, but I forgot that we went to TOT again before that. I talked Lexi into trying ToT again. I told her that the 2nd time would not be as scary as the 1st. We pose for another scared pic.

Oh, & we get a cool balloon shot on the way to ToT too!

We were getting ready to go inside the elevator when Lexi chickened out & was NOT budging. I had to tell the CM that we were not riding & she called over another CM to take us down the elevator. She told Lexi that there was nothing to the ride, it only went up & down (& this was not in a friendly voice, but an irritated one). Not-nice CM. I told the CM she already rode it, knew what it was like & didn’t like it.

We went down & waited with another man who was also waiting for his family to get off ToT. He told Lexi that he did not blame her for chickening out & that he did not like the ride either. Nice man.

When Brad & Levi departed the ToT elevator, we head to RNRC.

I am totally terrified of roller coasters, but I act brave for the kids. And, I was totally unprepared for the RNRC. It took off sooooo freaking fast!!!!!
Then, I swear when the lights flashed I saw a loop ahead of me! Does it have loops? It really freaked me out .
I was scared & I was upset that Lexi might be scared. It was over quick & I was really prepared for Lexi to be crying. Well, she loved it!!! I was shocked!
The take-off did make her hit her head back & she said she had a headache. And, of course, Levi loved it & he was excited that he had now been on all the WDW big rides.

We decided to leave DHS & go to AK EMH.

Lexi was still complaining about her head hurting. We decided to split up. Brad & Lexi went back to our room to get Tylenol, and Levi & I went to Ticket & Transportation Lost & Found to look for my camera case.
At Lost & Found, they pulled out a bin just for camera cases from the dates that I lost mine. There were about 11 camera cases in the bin, but none were mine. I couldn’t believe they had just a bin just for camera cases organized by dates & I wonder how many different bins they have in Lost & Found? One for cameras, umbrellas, stuffed animals, coats, keys, the list could go on & on….

When we walked out of Lost & Found, a AK bus pulled up. We arrived at AK and Brad & Lexi have not made it yet. Levi wants to ride on EE. On the way, I have to stop at every PP photographer I see. I’m determined to get my $ worth.

The photographer here was so great & she took a TON of pictures. Levi is very irritated now because we can see EE & he wants to go ride & not take pictures. He keeps whispering to me, “Let’s Go!”. I love the pictures she took!

Levi & I ride 1x on EE. Brad & Lexi meet us after that at KRR.

While we were in line for KRR, it became EMH at the park. This time, Brad wanted a rain poncho & didn’t care how sissified he looked wearing it. We all stayed dry. But, we did miss seeing Bikini girl this time.

We planned on riding again, but when we went back around the stand-by line had jumped to 50 minutes. We walked back to EE & the wait there was for an hour too. We walked to Dinosaur & the same thing. We were tired & not in the mood for long waits, so we decided to leave AK.

After we came home from WDW, I found out on the Dis from others that were in AK that day, if we had just stuck around a little longer the waits went to nothing. Oh well.

Con't next post...

Brad & Levi want to see the ESPN Club.

From AK we hopped onto the longest bus ride of my life with the most stops to the Boardwalk. We checked out the ESPN gift shop, but decided not to eat there. Before we left, Lexi & I had to use the ladies room & this is what we saw.

Yes, I'm in the stall taking pictures

Too Cool!!! You can tell a man designed these restrooms!



We took the boat ride to Epcot.

On DisneyDreamingDebby TR, her girls had an American Dream Float from Epcot that looked so pretty & good. I knew Lexi & Levi would love it & this was a perfect time to get one.

Levi takes a couple of pictures while Brad is in line for the American Dream Floats.

The floats!

And, it does taste as good as it looks. Thanks Debby!

We rode Maelstrom one more time & I used one of my snack credits for a Almond Pretzel that I had been reading about on TR’s. I took a bite & saved the rest for breakfast the next morning. Thank you to everyone that posted about the Almond Pretzel! It was soooooo yummy!

Lexi & Levi want a picture of them holding up the Epcot ball. I tried.

Lexi is a little bit better in listening to directions, so hers turned out better

We need one more Epcot ball picture! Good bye Epcot, this is our last time here

We went back to our resort, CBR & ordered dinner from OPR. Guess what we ordered? I havn't a clue. I don’t remember & I only have one picture on my camera.

It’s been a long day walking around 3 parks today & we went to our room & crashed.

nice update! Looks like you had a crazy busy day but a fun one!!!

Will you ever find the camera bag??!!!!!

I could use one of those drinks right now

 

[skier_pete]

Yikes! What a day! That seems like too fast a pace for me. We've never done three parks in one day...not sure I want to spend that much time on buses!

Great pictures...you have such cute kids. Lexi looks like much more of a poser/ham for the camera than Levi.

What are in those floats? It looks like a combo of slushie and ice cream...we might need to try one of those!

Yeah, us guys get TVs in the bathroom sometimes, though I've never seen them for the stalls - usually over urinals, which of course the ladies rooms don't have. We NEVER get couches though.

 

[Dancegrl624]

Great pictures! I think this was our arrival day because we went to AK for EMH. It was very busy when we first arrived, but the crowds really thinned out after 6pm or so. I know we did FOTLK around 6 and after the show, the crowds were pretty much gone. Right before the end of EMH (8pm), the wait for EE was only 5 minutes, but I don't even think it took that long!

You guys had a very long day. I don't think we've ever done 3 parks in one day....wow!

Impressive.

Nice update. I laughed at that one picture of Levi doing a yoga pose in front of EE.

I'm glad the kids like RnRC. You reminded me of the first time I took my oldest daughter on it -- I had been on it a few years before and forgot about the loop. I told her that it was no big deal, and then while in line I remembered. Oops. She still liked it.

 

[klacey1]

I can't believe you guys managed to do three parks in one day! The picture of Lexi holding up Spaceship Earth did turn out fantastic! We're pre-ordering PhotoPass for the first time in August, and I know we'll be doing what you guys did-- stopping a every photographer!!

 

[UGAFan0829]

Hi, Amy!! Woohoo for the awesome updates!
The Green Army Man interaction was absolutely hilarious! I probably would have screamed just like you! Too funny!
I'm glad that y'all like Sci-Fi. Mike and I tried it back in '09 and weren't really impressed, but I think a lot of it had to do with our CM. Maybe we'll try it again one day!
Yeaa for you for riding RockNRoller Coaster! It does take off kinda fast!
I've never heard of those American Dream drinks. What are they made of? They definitely looked cool--we may have to try those next time.
I'm so loving this report, especially right now when I want to go back to the World so badly. Reading this helps ease the pain a little!

 

[JPFamilyMom]

WOW!!!! cannot believe you did three parks in one day and went to the ESPN Club, glad my DH is at work, that is his dream for a bathroom. I don't get it and won't allow it

Love all your PP pictures, that is how I was especially since I forgot to pre-order it, love all the posing, your kids are too cute.

Can't wait to see what you did the next day

 

[Jazzabelle508]

Sounds like a fun time Sorry to hear that lexi hit her head, glad she ended up being ok. I loved the look on levi's face during those Photopass pictures, He clearly just wants to get out of there. i think it's a guy thing because my oldest brother is the same way. Those American Dream floats looked great now I kind of want to try one.

 

[mermaid764]

wow what a long day you guys had, but how awesome that you were able to see three different parks on the same day, and got some awesome photopass pics besides!

Those american dream slushies look really good, I can see why your kids liked them so much.

Can't wait for more

 

[annmarieda]

3 parks in one day! ? ! Wow!! I am impressed.

I have never been on RRC, so I appreciate your review. I think I can now safely say... I can skip it. I can just imagine I would probably end up with a headache too. I hope that Lexi's head felt better not long after you were off the ride.

The snacks in Epcot are so yummy. I love the american dream and the sweet pretzel. Both are my favorites... YUM

Great updates!!!

 

[pinkpixie0920]

Oh my goodness! First of all what is an American Dream Float and second where can I get one?? That looks so good! You had a busy day, three parks! RNRC is one of my favorites but everytime it is about to take off I start getting nervous mainly because of the take off. I feel like I can never time it with my breathing and it feels for about 5 seconds like I will never breath again. I'm so glad you had such a fun day! Sorry about the rude castmember at TOT.

 

[basketkat]

Wow 3 parks in one day...I would of crashed too! Ha!

Hmmm...almond pretzel? That sounds really yummy!

 

[TanzUnited99]

Yay for Spring break!!

Love the photopass shots on the way to ToT. How not nice of that CM to say that to Lexi but yay for that man being nice to her about it - am sure she needed to hear something along them lines and not what the CM was telling her.

I'm another one that is not looking forward to RnR Coaster.

Again love the PP shots of you and Levi at AK! Wow at covering three parks in one day - was it easily manageable?

Lol at the ESPN bathrooms - they do look cool! Am going to have to remember to try the American Dream Float and Almond Pretzel
