"Don't cry over spilled milk" Sept 2009-1st family trip w/ a 4 and 2 year old

[tinkgurl]

Oh wow, that t.v. in the waiting area is new! How nice!

Chef Mickey's is a favorite for us!

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

Awe, sorry you had such a rotten day at Epcot. At least Chef Mickey's was good. You can always try to go back to Epcot next go around. You are not a bad mommy because you lost your cool for a moment! We have all been there and done that. I think Disney must intensify all the emotions plus you had been going pretty nonstop all week, it was HOT and so off a normal routine.

Looking forward to the next round

yes I know we definitely needed a break. It was unbearable hot too which doesnt help when your tired either. At least this was the lowest point of the vacation and it didnt last long. It could of been worse; everyday could have been like this

Oh wow, that t.v. in the waiting area is new! How nice!

Yes the TV was great and kept the kids more than occupied since we havent watched much tv all week. Chef Mickeys was one of our favorites too. It will defintely be on our list for next trip. Have you done dinner there before? We were thinking of trying that next time.

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

I had left off with us all resting our heads for a long mid day nap. I awoke first so I decided to take a nice relaxing shower since I didnt feel rushed with having the kids running all around. Next Mike got ready. We got ryan and nick up so they could get a bath. Ryan was happy and gearing to go but nick on the other hand was not. He was crying and miserable. I couldnt put him down. I got ryan into the tub but nick refused. He screamed bloody murder everytime I tried putting him in. Now if you can remember; nick is our easy going happy as can be child. This was so unlike him. I figured it had to do with the fact that he hadnt pooped since sat. morning and now its wednesday afternoon. He usually goes 1-2 times daily. So it was a struggle getting him ready. I gave up on the bath which I thought was gross but was at a loss of what to do. We managed to get to the bus stop at 440pm. We had reservations at Cape May Buffett at 530pm. We planned on taking the bus to Epcot and walking to Beach Club. Luckily the bus arrived quickly. We got off at Epcot..went through the gates and power walked to the international gateway. Let me tell you. We were so hot and sweaty by the time we finally arrived at the Beach Club. I had no idea how long the walk really was. It would not have been bad if we werent rushing but we were drenched in sweat and totally stressed from the day we were having. None the less we arrived at BC and checked in at 532pm. Not bad considering what we just went through.

While waiting the kids sat and watched tv. This is such an awesome resort. It has such a relaxed and peaceful feeling to it. Just what we needed!

We were seated fairly quickly. The boys were starting to get a little rowdy so I quickly went up and got salad and a cup of new england clam chowder. I grab the boys the typical kids stuff. Mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, pizza, and rolls. I got back to our table and then mike took his turn. I quickly ate because I could just see the look in nick's eyes that it was only a matter of time until another meltdown begins.

He was just looking crazy.

As I am scarffing down the delicious chowder. The hostess seats a family next to us and is apologizing to them. She said she is sorry that they were seated near such a loud family and hoped this table would work out better. The lady said thank you and that she normally doesnt complain but since this is such a nice dinner they preffered not to sit next to a table of screaming children.

I was like OMG and there sitting them next to us.....not only that but our booth seating was actually connected so we were literally right next to them. I began to have heart palpitations just picturing my kids going crazy.

Anyway, Mike went up a few times and enjoyed everything he ate. I took the kids to the bathroom and let them run in the hall a little. I came back and Mike and Ryan went up and got me a bucket of clams.

These were the best clams I ever ate. They came with garlic herb butter. yummy! The neatest part is the bucket they came in.
Mike and the kids had some desserts, I think brownies and oreo truffles which mike said were to die for. Just as they were finishing Nick announced that he had to poop. Oh thank the lord. Mike took him outside while ryan and I went up so I could get some more food.

I got a chicken, ribs, prime rib, mac and cheese, and a brownie. I finished everything on my plate it was so delicious. I was stuffed. Ryan was content coloring on the table. They use a thick white paper as the table covering and the kids are given crayons to draw on. Great Idea!

I would have to say by far this is the best food we ate. There is so much variety and everything tasted so good. The only not so good part were the lines for the buffett. We had to wait in lines about 20 people long. Not the easiest thing to do with young children. Our waitress also had no personality. I actually dont know if she said much of anything the whole time we were there. She did bring drink refills quickly so I cant complain.

Overall Rating: Atmosphere-5
Service-3 (could have been more friendly)
Food- 5+

I met up with mike and he said nick hid behind a bush and pooped. Yipee never thought I would be so excited to change one of those diapers. I took him inside to the restroom and got him all cleaned up. He seemed like a new kid after that.

We walked around the beach club for a little admiring the scenery. Here are some pics we took.

We loaded the boys in the stroller and this time took a leisurely walk back to epcot.

I dont know if it was dinner or nick pooping or what but for some reason our trip had changed. Mike and I just felt so relaxed. We took a moment to breathe and we didnt feel so stressed over where we had to be and what we had to get done. It was like something came over us that said just slow down and enjoy the ride.

We got to the doors of the International Gateway....took another potty break and headed into Epcot to start round 2.

Poor Nick!! I bet he DID feel like a new man. And going behind the bush -- too funny! Amazing how your kid's digestive schedule can hold so much power.

Adorable photos, btw. Glad the Epcot day improved.

 

[AmyBWV99]

Great report!

We have 4 & 2 year old boys and can totally relate. I've had the 'I can't believe I just said that to my child' moments. The heat, the stress I mommy-meltdowns can happen.

We've had to slow down on our pre-kid touring and take a day here and there in our trips to allow the kids 3 hour naps to catch up on sleep. It's usally every 3rd day or so.

He was in that stage of hiding to go poop, I knew he was ready to start potty training but held off to after vacation. Now hes totally potty trained and still needs his privacy. He makes me leave the bathroom if he has to poop. It hysterical.

Thanks it makes me feel better to know I am not the only one. Yes we realized quickly that after day 3 that was about our limit. It did get better from this day on. Thanks for reading.

As we crossed the gates of the International Gateway we saw a small shop selling light up toys. We let both of the boys pick there own. Ryan got some kind of light up stick that makes different designs. Nick got one with two big mickey ears that light up and spin around.

We began to walk through the countries. We unfortunately did not have a large amount of time to spend so I know we missed alot and that is the only part of the trip I regret. I didnt realize how much fun the kids would have here.

First place we stopped was good ole america. The kids found the first kidcot station and made their masks.

Next stop was Italy where I taught the boys to say Caio and Gratzi. The gentleman at that kidcot was very nice and appreciated the boys speaking his language. They got a tie on piece which was a mask and a stamp.

We checked out Germany. Could not find the kidcot station. Mike was going to get a beer but after seeing the prices he decided against it.

We stopped at a small Kiosk and saw a bunch of little mickeys all dressed in different country attire. Nick got an italian mickey and ryan got a UK mickey. They have slept with these every night since.

While I was paying I heard someone yell my name. OMG another family that brings their children to the doctor I work for. I couldnt believe it. They also have a 4 and 2 year old. They were saying how the kids were miserable and not sleeping and they think they made a mistake by coming with them being so young. I think they were in the middle of their meltdown moment because when I talked to them after returning they seemed to still manage to have a good time. After talking with them for a little we moved along.

We stopped in China. This was the neatest kidcot. The lady asked what year they were born and told them what the chinese year meant. Ryan was born in 2004 and he was the year of the monkey. He got a monkey stamp and she wrote his name on the back of the mask in chinese. Nick was born in 2007 and he was the year of the pig. She said that is very lucky. I guess thats why he is such a good child. He got a pig stamp and his name written in chinese as well.

after we walked around the store for a little. Ryan found this guy and yelled for us to take a picture. At first he was holding its **** but we made him move his hand.

Ryan had found this cane and was pretending to be his great-pop pop. He cant walk well so he uses a cane and walks really slow and shaky. It gave us a chuckle as he yelled "look at me Im pop pop george".

We stopped and looked around mexico. Ryan wanted to buy a sombrero but he understood that its to big to bring on the plane.

We also saw these cute puppets along the way.

We made sure to stop and ask someone to take our picture too.

We really enjoyed just taking it all in and enjoying what the countries have to offer. It is so beautiful there at night. I definitely will plan more time during the day in the countries next time around.

We took a potty break and while waiting for mike; nick and ryan did some kind of song and dance that had everyone around laughing at them. They started to get really silly. Better than grumpy and whiny.

We got a soft pretzel. (Finally for nick) and some slushies. We got a spot along the fence and waited for Illuminations to start.

What an amazing show. It almost brought a tear to my eye. It had turned out to be such a great evening. I am glad Mike convinced me to stick with the plan. I told him after dinner we should just go back to the resort.

I wish I could say Illuminations was a perfect ending to the night but, then you have to walk out of the park and get on the bus.

This was not so perfect. We had gotten ryan a box of popcorn while we were walking out of Epcot. Nick was starting to throw a fit and kicked ryan's popcorn out of his hand. Ryan was now crying hysterically. We just kept walking. Before you know it now nick is crying. We realized ryan grabbed nicks hand and pulled it through the center of the stroller. Oh my. We got them to stop fighting and walked as quickly as possible to the bus stop.

We waited about 20 minutes and got on a very packed bus back to our resort. Everyone was asleep by about 1045pm.

Yep, we do dinner there every trip! We usually try to make it for our first night because it's such a fun way to start the trip. The food is pretty good, but we always look forward to the dessert station! YUM!

 

[Charlefours]

Hmm...I had not even been considering Cape May buffet. It seems like you have like this the best thus far.

I am glad the evening got better for you and you were able to have some fun in Epcot!

 

[jana616]

OK, that was a great update! I'm sorry your morning didn't go better, but I love that you gave the good, bad, and ugly. It helps me to know that we weren't alone in our meltdown moments! I love the picture of Ryan at the Beach Club after dinner-he looks so handsome! I also had to laugh at how he grabbed the statue in an inappropriate place-all of our pics from character meals, Griffin has his hand "right there"-poor Leo from LE, he really got molested!!

I forgot that Nick wasn't potty trained yet, so when you said he went behind a bush to poop...let's just say my jaw hit the floor!! LOL, I did figure it out quickly! Isn't it funny how something like pooping can make or break the vacation?!!

Can't wait to read more! I am hoping to get wild and finish my last two days later this week. My MIL is taking the kids overnight on Thursday, so I want to bust it out then. Griffin has his 5th birthday party on Saturday, and I have to make 14 Jedi vests and light sabers, but I want to get the TR done too!

 

[Gabes_mommy]

Oh no, I am so sorry you had a rough time at The Seas too. Don't feel bad about your "bad mommy" moment. Even though WDW is a magical place it still seems to bring out those type of moments.

Only a mommy can understand the importance of poop. I am so glad to hear that Nick pooped! Gabe used to get so constipated that DH and I would literally cheer when he finally went.

Oh my, I would have died if a couple who had just gotten moved after complaining about noisy kids got seated right next to us during a meltdown moment . What irony.

Thanks for the heads up about Black Friday at Kohls - I will definitely check it out.

ETA - you look so cute in your Epcot pictures - that top and skirt (is that a skirt or bermudas?) look really good on you.

Haha I didnt realize, I should of specified in his diaper. Wow I guess that would have given you a good laugh. I that point I wouldnt of cared if he did just poop behind the bush. It is amazing how not pooping makes a kid act.

I know I am trying to get this finished up with too before I forget all the details. It does bring back such good feelings though as I write this. It makes me really miss disney and making me anxious to go back.

That sounds like an awesome party griffen is having. We had ryans at a sports academy place on sat. It was alot of trampolines and foam pits and all that fun stuff. The kids had a blast. The best part is I didnt have to do to much to put it all together. Last year we had a pirate party and my dad actually made a pirate ship out of wood for the kids to play inside. We spent so much money on decorations and goody bags, pinatas etc. This year I was like lets take the easy way out. If you are on facebook and you remember my last name from when you mailed the kids postcards send me a friend request. I will soon have all my pics posted on their. If your interested?

Hope to read your up dates soon. Ive been dying to hear the rest.

your welcome for the black friday tip. I had off today for ryans 5th bday. I let him stay home with me and nick went to daycare. We had time to kill before the movie we were seeing so we walked around kohl's for like 1hr. I was scoping out what I am hoping to find on sale.

Thanks for the compliment. It actually was a jean skirt. I thought he outfit made me look really heavy so thank you for saying it looked nice. I insisted that since we were eating at a nice resort we all had to dress nice. Otherwise the whole week was mostly mesh shorts and t shirts. With the hot weather I was so glad I planned it that way. I dont know how you stand living in FL. That heat and humidity is a killer.

OK, I hopefully just sent you a friend request on facebook. It wasn't the exact city I was thinking it was, so if you don't get it, let me know! I'd love to keep in touch on there-I miss "talking" with you so much from the PTRs!

I hope Griffin's party goes well. We have been to 7 parties in the past two months, and all of them have been at a party place of some kind-Bouncertown, Incredible Pizza Company, bowling, etc. It seemed so expensive when I priced it out, esp. for as many kids as we were inviting, and paying for parents too. But now I feel a lot of pressure to make his party cool too. We're doing a Jedi Training Academy. I cut out the vests tonight-I just made no-sew v-neck vests out of brown felt, and then bought some shiny ribbon to tie around their waists and keep them together. We're making light sabers out of foam pipe insulation. They get to wear that for the party and take it home, and then we're having some "training missions" (ie games and an obstacle course). Their final mission is to defeat Darth Vader (pinata). It seems really cool in my head, but I don't know if they'll think so! I have realized though that all the time and money spent on this will come close to the cost of a party place! Plus it's supposed to rain here that day, so we have to do all of this in our house. I definitely think you have the right idea doing it somewhere else!!! Then you actually get to enjoy it too! A pirate party sounds so cool, and I can't believe your dad built them a ship! That's awesome, do they still have it?

 

[Gabes_mommy]

I dont know how you stand living in FL. That heat and humidity is a killer.

It can be miserable for sure! Orlando is actually way more hot and humid than where I live near the coast. I don't think I could handle living in Central FL. All I can say is thanks goodness for central A/C.

Yes we do still have the boat. We had put it outside for a little in the summer but now its taken apart and stored in our shed. Your party ideas sound great. I am sure the kids will love it. I didnt get your friend request so it must have been the wrong person. I will PM you my info. I would love to keep in touch too.

 

[mommyof2Pirates]

Its been a month or so since Ive been on here and I am surprised to see that there are no updates on any of the reports I was following. But I am determined to finish this report. This trip was too good to stop in the middle. I dont know if anyone is still reading but either way I will finish.

Ok with that being said lets move on to Day 5.

If you remember we decided to cancel our reservation at the Tusker House due to the long wait on tuesday. So in place of that TS credit we were lucky enough to get a reservation for breakfast at Ohana's. Our reservation was at 7:45am.

We got up bright and early at 6am. We showered and got everyone together and were at the bus stop by 650am. The bus was just sitting there waiting for us. We stepped right on and were on our way. We had the entire bus to ourselves. The day seemed to be going smooth so far. Much better than the previous day.

We arrived at MK around 715 and walked up the ramp to the monorail. We waited 15 minutes before a cast member made an announcement that the monorails currently were closed. They said to wait at bus stop #11 and a bus will take us to the polynesian. So we treked back down the ramp and got to bus stop 11 which had no sign labeling where that bus takes you. The line soon became crowded with people fully annoyed at the situation. Buses kept driving by us and no one was stopping. Finally around 745am a bus finally stopped and asked why everyone was waiting there. He was surprised at the situation but loaded us up and took us over to the poly. We got to ohana's at 8am. I was hoping there would not be a huge wait since we were late to our ressie. Apparently a bunch of other families had the same trouble too. No problems. We were given our buzzer and we waited patiently.

Ryan was already complaining of being tired. I was crossing my fingers that today would be better than our epcot ordeal.

Here he is lounging while we waited.

We only waited about 10 minutes. We were seated by a very nice cousin who asked me what Ohana meant and can you believe I didnt know the answer. How embarrasing. I guess since Ohana was not on my initial list of ressies that I didnt pay much attention to the information about the resturaunt. I never watched the whole lilo and stich movie either. oops.
Anyway at least I learned something new.

This by far was my favorite breakfast of the trip. I was surprised how much I liked the bread they serve. I dont like coconut and I am not a huge fan of raisins but the bread was to died for. The passion punch or whatever they called it was also so delicious. I also liked how they served it family style vs. buffett. The food was excellent. The kids ate alot which tells ya it must of been good.

Here is ryan just about cleaning his plate.

Pluto and Mickey came around pretty quickly. Actually they even came to our table twice.

Then the parade started. Ryan was very excited to participate. He got a maraca and paraded around. We were proud of him. This was a moment that made me a little teary. He looked like he was just having such a great time and it made me so happy just to be able to bring my kids to the greatest place on earth. Nick stayed on my lap. Although he was getting less fearful of the characters he was in no way ready to leave the comfort of his table.

At the end of the parade Lilo gave Nick her maraca and that made him happy. We waited about another 15 minutes and neither Lilo or Stitch were close to getting to our table so we decided to leave without seeing them. We were anxious to get to Magic Kingdom.

We took the ferry which the kids enjoyed.

We arrived at MK by 915am. We walked to Fantasyland and saw Peter Pan was only a 20 min wait. We just about got in line when Ryan started crying because he was scared. I thought here we go again. I took him to the side and tried to calm him down. He wasnt hysterical so I thought it would be best to just force him to go on. He didnt give me a fight but was crying on/off throughout the wait. I know people were looking at us thinking I was being ridiculous but I didnt care. I know whats best for my kid and with Ryan if you let him be scared he would be afraid of everything. Once he realizes its ok he wants to do things a million times. So we get on Peter Pan and he did good until we passed over london. He was afraid of seeing the crocodile and also thought the real captain hook would be there. Once he saw it was all fake he calmed down and enjoyed it. Nick loved the whole ride and thought it was really cool.

We did the Tea Cups next since it was only a 5 min. wait.

This ride was so much fun. The kids spun it so fast and we laughed and giggled like crazy. Mike skipped this since he gets motion sickness pretty easily.

We then walked right onto winnie the pooh. It was fun and one of nicks favorites of the day. Ryan's fears were starting to settle down too.

We got some drinks since it was starting to get really hot. We took this picture which really is perfect for these two.

Next the kids wanted to ride Tomorrowland Speedway. Believe it or not this was my first ride on it as well. This was by far the kids favorite ride in MK. They loved that they could drive. I rode with Nick who gave me whiplash. Ryan rode with mike and got a drivers license at the end. He still is telling people about it. He is very proud that he has a drivers license.

We then walked over to tomorrowland.

The water globe was a huge hit. We stopped many times throughout the next two days to touch it.

The kids wanted to ride AstroOrbiter. It was a 25 min wait. We did it because its what the kids wanted to do. We also got one of those cards to carry with us to see how long the wait actually was.

By this point the kids were looking tired and ryan even laid on the railing for a little.

This ride defintely spins you around good. Mike and I were a little dizzy after this one.

We got a picture with this cool robot.

It was time to head out of the park and over to Wildreness Lodge for our 1215 lunch reservation at Whispering Canyon Cafe.

This was the kids being silly while we waited for the Ferry Boat.

So far the morning had gone pretty well. We were still unsure if we should take a break after lunch and go back to the resort for awhile or just go right back to Mk for the night. We decided to see how the kids did at lunch and then make a decision depending on their moods.

UP NEXT: LUNCH AT WCC.....COULD ANYTHING BE BETTER THAN OUR BREAKFAST!

I'm still reading, I promise!!! Things have just been so busy with the holidays, I haven't even been on these boards since November! Your morning sounds great so far-we loved Ohana breakfast too. I seriously dream about the eggs, and I normally hate scrambled eggs. The Speedway was one of my boys' favorite rides too; Cooper LOVED that he got to drive. Please keep going, and I promise I'll keep reading!!! Hope your Christmas was great!

 

[Charlefours]

Hello,

I missed the notice that said you had updated. I filtered out a few subscriptions into a "favorites" folder and did not check it for a few days. I know I have been hit or miss for the last month and half too finishing up school for the semester, getting over been sick and the holiday rush.

Great update! I am glad it seems like Ryan is getting over being scared of rides. Parents know their children best, so who cares what others think!

Looking forward to the next update.

Happy Holidays!! I hope they have been wonderfully magical!

I am trying hard to finish this report. Maybe over the weekend I will squeeze in an update. Are you still going to complete yours? Are christmas was wonderful, How was yours? Hope you have a happy new year!

Thanks for still reading. I am trying to complete the report dont worry I wont give up. Its funny how before your trip you put everything on the back burner to be on here but now I have to reprioritize.

I bet your excited because on Saturday you can say "we go to disney this year"! I remember last new years eve after the ball dropped I yelled that to the boys. My husband just looked at me like I was nuts. Thats when he realized he was in for a long ride of disney excitement.

Hope your holidays were great as well. Happy New Year!
