Ok...I am subscribing. I just spent the past two days reading this TR and I LOVE IT!

Me, my son, my sister, her two sons, and our other sister and her two sons are going to WDW in June. We have done this 4 years ago, plus two of us with our 3 boys in tow took a short trip this past September.

We never take our husbands because not being disney freaks they do not understand the need to have plans made of where you will go at what time to avoid lines. They are all the happy go lucky type fellows at amusement parks. Ok for Six Flags with Season Passes....not ok when you are a 8 day trip to WDW and must see EVERYTHING!

I can't wait to see how it all ends!

AWWWWW sounds like something my daughter would say.

I noticed you are planning your first trip to WDW. Hope you have a wonderful time!

I'm leaving tomorrow for the World! I'll be looking forward to some updates when I get back. (No pressure, really, I mean it, seriously, but I really want an update)

I know this is late, but how about one hour after your request? Comin' right up......

 

[estherhead]

Sorry about the days but I got off somewhere. This is really Day 8 of our trip. For the previous days that are numerically off, I apologize. Math really isn't my thing since you can see I can't even count to 8!

So, I had felt really great the day before and had taken some painkiller at 3:00 p.m. before everyone got home and then hadn’t taken anymore. I guess Wishes and Space Mt. had been painkillers enough got me. So when I awoke at 6:00 a.m. the following morning, there was no painkiller at all in my body and I was seriously in my pain bubble. I got up and took 2 Ibuprofen and 4 Tylenol.

At 7:00 a.m. Donald was awake and started talking to me. I didn’t respond. He, naturally, noticed this.

I softly whispered, “I need some Vicodin.”
“That bad, eh?”
“I think I should go to a doctor. Something is wrong with me.”
“Can’t you wait till we get home?”
“That’s four days away before I can see my own doctor.”

Silence.

Now Donald was not being mean. It’s just in my situation it would be nice to see my own doctor and as mentioned before, until I mentioned the Vicodin he really had no idea how bad off I was. I was hiding the pain well. So for him it was a totally surprise.

Unfortunately for me, I was at WDW. The last thing I wanted was to go to the clinic. Cause what I really wanted to do was go to World Showcase and have a yummy lunch at Rose and Crown and a Grand Marnier slushie at France. And I already felt gypped by missing Epcot the day before. So with Donald’s tiny discouraging words, I opted to skip the clinic. I got up and took another 2 Ibuprofen and 4 Tylenol. At 8:00 a.m. I took more. By the time we left for Epcot at 10:00 a.m. I was tolerable.

Everyone else was awake early too and the pool was 100 degrees. So even though it was only 50 degrees outside, everyone went swimming. Well, not me. And not Boo whose face was swollen from sinus issues. I thought it was just too dangerous to our ears to get into water. So we looked at all the photos we had taken so far and I put on the Photopass cards so we could check all those out. It was a really nice, relaxing morning.

We didn’t really have a plan for the first hours in park. We were going to eat lunch in England all together as we had an ADR and then do World Showcase. But the first 2 hours weren’t planned. I had assumed we would spend some time together but after we had parked (we parked really close for it being 10:30) and walked in we were already no longer together.

I had to go to the bathroom. Why didn’t I go at home? Don’t know. But we made a pit stop. Now here I must take a detour as Suzy and I had been talking about these signs all week:

Why, Brawny, why? Suzy just found these ridiculous. I thought perhaps they were for foreigners who weren't aware of the crazy Americans on Disboards who freak out by people walking out of bathrooms with unwashed hands (and babies in swim diapers and pool hopping and reusing last year's refillable mug.) Suzy had two issues with this theory, one, would the foreigners read English? And if they did, did we Americans really need to be sooooo bossy? Can't we just let them enjoy their vacation? Without a little lesson on killing trees with millions of paper towels?

So I ask again, why, Brawny, why?

After pondering this for my eighth straight morning, I wanted to ride the updated Spaceship Earth. Donald decided to sit it out with Boo. I’m not sure why, he just didn’t want to ride. It was a 5 minute wait and then we were enjoying Judy Dench. Donald misses Walter Cronkite and I miss the TV video phone call at the end. But other than that, it is better.

When we got off Donald tells us that Boo is really doing poorly so we decide to really keep our eye on her and maybe she and I would be going to the clinic later. He also showed us the pin lanyard he bought for her for 2010. Now that is thinking ahead! Too funny.

Here they are looking at all our autographs:

And here is a close up of a disgusting Boo:

See how swollen her face was. Fortunately (or unfortunately) by the end of the day so much snot had poured out of her face it wasn't swollen any more. We've all been saying "Awwwwww...." with McQueen. Now join me is saying, "Ewwwww!!!!!" with Boo.

After this I took this photo:

Now, we are big recyclers here in our house. Ariel had a month long lesson at school which really touched her and we have curbside pick up. Plus, we just like it. I think at this point we would certainly drive it to a recycling center rather than throw it in the landfill. Before we left for Disney, Donald and I had a huge discussion about how hypocritical Disney is about preaching environmental issues and then not having recycling containers anywhere. So I thought these were fabulous. Finally, they are doing what they were preaching.

We later found out that Disney hasn't needed recycling bins as they sort through their trash, separating it all out after the fact and the recycling bins are just for the whiners like me who thought they were hypocritical. Oops. Sorry, Disney. Guess I shouldn't have called you hypocritical. Just wanted to save the earth and stuff.

I called Suzy and asked them if they wanted to get together and ride something (that might need baby swap or something) and Suzy said we were better off without them as Milo and Buzz were fighting. The problem was Epcot is both “boys” favorite. Except Buzz likes to mess around in Future World and Milo in World Showcase. And it was getting near the end of our trip and Milo hadn’t stepped foot in W.S. with his whole family whereas Buzz had been to DQ and FW lots. But Buzz has Asperger’s and his obsession is video games. The fact that his daddy hadn't gotten a turn to pick family time didn’t much matter to Buzz. You can see the conflict. So Suzy wisely kept us safe from the battle.

After that we headed over to World Showcase but first stopped to get a Photopass of us pointing at the Soarin’ ride. It’s pretty cool. We have one of us pointing at that, and a second of us pointing at… a random bird? A cloud formation?

Do you see Boo trying to find what we are all looking at?

And then we were in Canada. So beautiful.

I took some photos and then got in line. I thought that O Canada wasn’t showing yet. But then Donald pointed out we were waiting in line to meet Santa Claus. Oops. That was a bit of a waste of time, waiting in a line for a phantom Santa (he was out there when we came out of O Canada.

So we walked up and had a tiny wait for the next showing and then went right in. There were very few people in here so Boo could run around which was nice. It’s a very nice movie with Martin Short. If only Canada weren’t so gigantic I would love to see more in person. Tim bought a hockey shirt that he loves and wears often. And I took some photos of shirts I thought were funny.

And then we were in Great Britain. Now I was on a mission. Early on in our planning I heard about a lucky few who had tested a new Kim Possible mission. Supposedly it would be up & running by Thanksgiving of 2008. But that proved untrue. It was still in testing and in no way official. You were lucky if you could find it.

So I told my family to be on the look out for Kim Possible “Kimunicators” and we would ask the people who had them where they had gotten them. So we get to Great Britain and these guys were performing. They picked this older guy to be the king and kept telling him to repeat these pretty basic sentences. But he couldn’t do it. And then he would say the funniest things, including swear words (not super bad ones.) It was amusing me greatly.

The family was checking out the stores and seeing if Winnie the Pooh was around to meet and great.

They come over all excited and say they’d been hearing Kim Possible music from phones! So being the designated question asker, I went up to a couple CMs standing together who looked like they were up to something. And they said there was testing for sure of Kim Possible in UK. And we should go up to Guest Relations and ask and they would point us in the right direction.

Donald was VERY anxious to play as he loves Kim Possible. So he and Ariel ran to VERY FRONT of Epcot. Only to discover that Guest Relations was absolutely clueless. Less than clueless. Let that be a lesson to you. Disers know stuff. Random CMs know nothing.

Be right back...

 

[estherhead]

Sorry, pic count.

Anyway, by this time I felt we could check into the Rose and Crown. So I checked in and lied a little bit because they asked if I had my whole party and I said yes. Of course I had no idea where ANY of my people were. I waited a little bit on a bench by the lake. And everyone was trickling in and by the time our table was ready, everyone was there. We were seated outside in our own little area. With us, this is always a good idea.

Our waiter was a little insolent at first, but he ended up OK. He was quick. That’s good in our book. Donald ordered a beer flight and Milo ordered a scotch flight. They REALLY enjoyed their little flight and we have some cute video of them discussing it.

Is he trading his empty glasses for scotch?

The adults all ordered fish and chips except me. When I was 10 or under (what year did Epcot open? That year) we had eaten here and I had gotten the Shepherd’s pie kids meal. I know this is super goofy, but even though it wasn’t what looked best on the menu to me something sentimental told me that I HAD to order that again. Lo & behold, I actually remembered the taste. I liked it as a kid and I liked it as an adult. But I remembered that it had some spice in it that wasn’t familiar to me. Still did. So for all the whiners about Disney changing menus & recipes all the time, this hadn’t changed since opening!

Ariel's meal:

Anyway we were enjoying our time except for Boo. Boo was sick and was being clingy and bratty beyond belief. And I was covered in snot and ick.

Wow, we look like crap:

Hey, Perla, I can tell you are feeling poorly. Why don't you skip the make-up and wear a GIANT sweatshirt so you can look 20 lbs heavier and 20 years older too? Cause that will seriously make you feel better.

So after his flight, Donald volunteered to take Boo out. Also, Buzz really hated his food. His parents had had pretty much enough of him, again I wasn’t involved in this I’m just reporting what I saw, I was immersed in Boo-land while this was going on. But they decided to give in on this one thing and went and got him McDonald’s much to their embarrassment.

While Donald was putting Boo to sleep he saw another Kimmunicator. He went up to the guy and asked where he got it. The guy pointed him to the bridge right there at UK and he asked if he could have two, one for us & one for the boys. He came in with such excitement you wouldn’t believe it. A sleeping baby AND 2 Kimmunicators. My hero.

After the general excitement and Donald telling us they were testing France too and Milo telling Buzz they would only be doing the UK one (after all, a cell phone was almost as good as a video game) I had to pee again. I asked if any of the kids did too and had some takers.

McQueen was one taker and he was gone a long time. I ended up sitting on a little bench waiting, kind of in these people’s area. He was gone forever. Not as long as Buzz at Blizzard Beach, but still. He finally came out, pants crooked and half done and I laughed and said, “How’d it go in there?” “I don’t know!” he said with those super expressive eyes which made the people laugh out loud. He’s so cute. Then he clapped. I know, this is weird, but he was just so excited to be at WDW in general, he clapped. The people thought this was hilarious also. Of course the potties are in the bar area so they may have been a bit liquored up.

 

[Iott Family]

Loving you TR. We leave in 16 days. You are getting me super excited with all your great adventures!

 

[BenA81]

ewwwww

but seriously, getting sick at WDW is the pits. yay for recycling!

 

[ProudMommyof2]

You have such a great way of explaining the family dynamics!

I hope you and Boo get better soon!

 

[houseful of boys]

A little background to my stressful morning that Perla alluded to - Buzz has Asperger's Syndrome. His two favorite obsessions are video games and schedules. He knew our itinerary included a second trip to DisneyQuest tommorrow. Milo and I decided that we were not going back to DisneyQuest after we had gone earlier that week. We wanted to go to MK tommorrow because Milo had missed that second day with the kids. Talking Buzz into this was another matter. He loves MK but DisneyQuest was on the schedule and there are games at DisneyQuest. I made him a compromise. We would allow him to explore Innoventions at Future World today since we hadn't got to yet and then would come to DisneyQuest again some other trip. So he would get some electronic time and we could go to MK the following day. Mission accomplished, or so I thought.

Milo also like schedules and things to go as planned. Today was the day he was waiting for. World Showcase with his boys! He loves World Showcase, it is the one of the reasons he allows me to keep taking him to Disney. So World Showcase opens at 11:00am. We must be at World Showcase at 11:00am!

I had been running, running, being at rope drop for so many consecutive days that I took the early morning off. The kids had a swim and I took it easy that morning.

We were in the Epcot parking lot by 10:20am. Milo started having a meltdown because if I had promised Buzz Innoventions than we should have come earlier. We HAD to be at Future World by 11:00am. I kept telling him we had plenty of time today. We were not doing anything else all day except be here until we were done. And we HAD to take Buzz to Innoventions.

So Milo took the baby in one stoller and Charming, McQueen, Buzz, and I didn't see him until we got to inside the Epcot gate. He was so annoyed he wouldn't walk in with us. I told Buzz he had to pick East or West. He picked the one closer to Test Track whichever that one is and we explored the Storm simulater and the Innoventions house. Everyone enjoyed these. Charming got to play the drums in the house which he loved.

We were at Future World by 11:20am. Milo had a hard time getting over his mini adult tantrum. So he still wasn't really talking to us much. But I just decided that I was going to ride it out. We had all day for him to get over it, and we would have a good time. We stopped at Canada and watched the movie. Buzz of course was bored.

I took this to remind me of the two who were at odds that day.

Then it was time for the Rose and Crown which always puts Milo in a good mood. He says it's his favorite ride. So we chilled out a little here. We had great seats for our group. We were outside in a corner and I never felt like we were disturbing other guests with our large group. Buzz ordered Mac and Cheese which he didn't like. And it was day 8. Because of his Asperger's he's extremely picky. He said, " Nothing has been the way it's supposed to taste this week." So I walked down to the Refreshment Port and ordered 10 nuggets and a large Fry. I was embarrased to walk in with my McDonalds tray but you know what? Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. He finally ate, (and the other kids had some too) and everyone was getting happier.

When Donald walked in with the Kimmunicator, my heart secretly sank. I had wanted to do this with the kids for months. But Milo for monts had kept asking me why we would want to ruin World Showcase with this? And after our rocky morning, I was afraid of the temper flaring up again. But Buzz was literally jumping up and down with excitement. (and I mean literally ). So I told him we would do the UK and not the France one. Fortunately, when we left the Pub to start our mission, the comedians were performing on the street, so Milo and Charming and Jack Jack watched this while Buzz, McQueen and I caught some criminals.

Here we are on the lookout for bad guys. McQueen took this very seriously.

We had a lot of fun with this. The kids absolutely loved it. Milo and the other boys joined us for the end so got to see what it was about and then we were finally off to show Milo's world to the boys.



To be continued......

 

[estherhead]

Loving you TR. We leave in 16 days. You are getting me super excited with all your great adventures!

Soooo jealous! Are you digging out & at -5 degrees too? Orlando may be cold right now, but I guarantee it's not -5!!!!!!!!!

ewwwww

but seriously, getting sick at WDW is the pits. yay for recycling!

Ah, a fellow recycler. Sorry for the graphic snot, but at least you only had to see it, I lived it!

You have such a great way of explaining the family dynamics!

I hope you and Boo get better soon!

Thanks! We do eventually get better.... lol. To tell you the really tale end of the story (you'll have to wait for the rest of the WDW part) Donald came down with the dreaded disease after we got home and was sick for almost all of December. He finally went to the doctor, I know, I know, we're bad about the doctor thing, and had a huge sinus infection. And then to top it all off he had an allergic reaction to his medicine and ended up getting some kind of horrible rash.

A little background to my stressful morning that Perla alluded to - Buzz has Asperger's Syndrome. His two favorite obsessions are video games and schedules. He knew our itinerary included a second trip to DisneyQuest tommorrow. Milo and I decided that we were not going back to DisneyQuest after we had gone earlier that week.

I think this begs the question, is it worst to be at WDW sick or is it worse to have arguing people in your party? Hmmm, that is the ultimate question. And yet it has a really simple answer. Who cares? You're at WDW!

 

[estherhead]

You guys want more? I've made ya'll wait a few days so I'll give you a mini chapter.

From there, we started KP. We let Suzy, Buzz, & McQueen start first so we weren’t basically doing it together. They all took this photo

while Milo & I were paying our bills. Or should I say “paying” in my case. We spent the rest of our rewards card here and I think we had $.36 or something left. Donald harassed me about that money the rest of the day wanting me to use it on something. I refused, it was too cheap for even a coupon clipper like myself! He thought it was hilarious. I’ll drive across town to use an expiring $.35 coupon but heaven help me if I have to use $.36 rewards card to buy my School Bread.

Anyway, it was our turn to play KP. My throat was starting to kill me again and the painkiller was simply not cutting it. So it was about halfway through KP that I decided to completely stop talking. I hadn’t been talking too much anyway. But from this point on, it just stopped all together. Donald didn't really enjoy that very much since we were wandering around seeing cool stuff together as a family. But we all don't get what we want, eh? I can't win. I talk too much when I'm talking and he misses it when I don't.

But KP was so much fun, and watching the girls just buy wholeheartedly into the whole, silly story that I was able to push away the pain. It wasn’t too shabby having a sleeping baby either. I just followed silently behind pushing a stroller.

Here they are starting their covert operation:

Ariel says, "Hey" to Mary Poppins:

Alice looking for the Cheshire Cat:

One of the views from a clue:

One of the clues:

At the end we turned our phone in and filled out a survey. I just said LOVE LOVE LOVE all over the survey.

The thing that is really nice about this is it is in harmony with the country and makes you explore parts of the countries you wouldn’t normally. I didn’t even know there was a tea shop in UK and now I’ve been in it and brought the tea home & drank a cup last night. So there ya go. We were in every lovely corner of this country and truly enjoyed all the corners.

It took maybe 45 minutes.

Then the fam decided to do the France one too. But I just wasn’t feeling well enough to wander around France too. So I got myself a wonderful Grand Marnier Slushie and parked my tushe on a bench and watched all the people.

I was very much in the bubble and remember nothing about this except the wonderful positive feelings I have of the time period. It was so peaceful and lovely. Nice music, the whistle of the waiter balancing on chairs sounding around me. If only it had been the real France…

I saw the family pass by me several times in excitement and at the end of the whole thing they ran into Aurora who had no line and no people anywhere near here. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

I also had a lot of people stop me and ask me where I got my drink while I was sitting there. I guess I was making it look pretty delicious. I was more than happy to point to the kiosk. I didn’t SAY anything, I just pointed. And they merrily went and grabbed a drink just like mine.

I was a actually a little worried and really started pondering waiting the 3 days for a clinic if I waited till home. So I took more pills. I think I must have washed them down with my alcohol. No way I was quitting my fabulous day. I was having way too much fun.

At this point I had held out long enough. I needed a chocolate croissant. It is a ritual with me to get a chocolate croissant in France. Both the real France and the fake France. But as I walked up to the little shop I realized I couldn’t get a pastry as Boo was still asleep and she was in the giant stroller which wouldn’t fit in the pastry shop. I have to tell you, my pastry desires were so strong I pondered leaving the stroller with the sleeping baby unattended. I know, this is terrible and don’t worry, I paid later for even having the thought.

But, I didn’t. Instead I swiped a table which people were vacating. When the fam was done a few minutes later, I hopped in line. Now this is where I made a horrible error. The croissant looked weird. There was only one left (or at least out) and it looked yucky. Oh no, what should I do???? I looked at all the pastries and finally settled on the chocolate éclair. Idiot me hadn’t asked Suzy about her trip to W.S.

So here is my take on the chocolate éclair. It’s yucky. So there. And by this point the line was long or I would have gotten back in. Charming had gotten in line with me (we met up with them here by accident) and chose all kinds of yummy things. I tasted them and they were all better than my stupid choice, which Donald ate. You know what? It still disappoints me even two months later. Shoot. I shoulda just stood in the line again.

See the yummy thing in the left. It was 10 times yummier than the nasty eclair in the right. Just FYI. Charming! Why didn't you tell your good ole aunt she was making a huge mistake?

You what else? I’m an excellent cook and provider of food for my family here at home, but I’m a crappy quick service food picker outer at WDW. I should hang out more on the Disboards and learn more….

As I sat here I also pondered my throat. But the slushie had really improved it and all I could think was how happy I was that my feet hadn’t hurt the entire week. I mean, that is really saying something. Sorry, Suzy. I wasn’t thinking of you, I swear. I was just really pleased with my shoe choices and my conditioning. Had I not gotten ill (thanks Jack-Jack!) I would have done so great this whole trip.

Ariel and I then checked out the shops in France looking for Marie gear. Nothing interesting, though. But from that moment on she & I were on a kitty quest. And unsuccessful kitty quest, but at least it gave us something to look for.

The girls also were pin trading, without trading anything. But they stopped to check-out what people had. Next time I think I’m going to buy a lot more before we go, like of the grab bags, so they can trade more. They did really good at the beginning of the week, but they had the pins they wanted by this day. And WS is prime-pin-trading. So it was a bummer.

But you know what, I didn’t care. Cause I’d had a big drink and a bunch of pain-killer and some chocolate, yucky, yes, but still chocolate and I was a bit loopy. The stores are so much more fun in this state.

And there was entertainment everywhere. We just hit it all so perfectly that we almost saw at least a bit of all the entertainment. Not Off Kilter, but my kids don’t really like them because they are just too loud and I had just seen their whole show in September so I was willing to skip it.

But you will have to wait until next chapter for that. There are just too many stories to be told.

Ah, a fellow recycler. Sorry for the graphic snot, but at least you only had to see it, I lived it!

oh i had my fair share. on our first day of our last trip when we were in the living room of our rental house my DD2 decided to start throwing up all over the carpet. i just started saying "no no no no!!" she was better after a few hours but it sure took the wind out of my sails.

 

[Disneyfan71]

I've subscribed to this thread as well. Looks like you had an awesome time This is so making me look forward to our trip in June.

Ewwwww!!!! I hate puke even more than snot. That is why Donald is our designated puke picker upper. Ah the jobs dads have to do. I'm sure when he was a kid and people said, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" He calmly replied, "A puke picker-upper." Why isn't there a vomiting smilie?

Will June really be your first time in 14 years? Well, then you have come to the right place if you don't like to wait in lines. Get there early and forget about the morning "chillin'" plan. You can chill in the afternoon. Sometimes.

We did have a great time. A great time.

 

[Disneyfan71]

Yes I haven't been since 1995. I don't mind waiting in lines..after all we're going to be there 9 days And in all likelihood spend the majority of our time at MK and Epcot. Of course we'll go to DHS (MGM I call it) and AK. The last time I went to DHS was 1995 and wasn't impressed. I know they've added a bunch since then, and I will give it a second chance.

Wow, that's quite a compliment. Thanks!

 

[houseful of boys]

The rest of our day went as planned. We took the boys on a tour of the World.

After leaving the UK, we were off to France. Jack Jack made friends with a gargoyle while we were waiting for the film.

After the movie Charming was sent in to get a pastry. One pastry. And he came back with this.

(Perla, the top left is a Napoleon)

But it did not go to waste.

Even Jack Jack enjoyed his treat.

At least everyone was finally getting along.

So we just did the countries in order.
McQueen imagined he was Indiana Jones in a Morroccan market. And everyone got to pick out 1 souveneir a piece. McQueen got a Morroccan drum. Charming got a mini eiffel tower. And Buzz got some Pokemon cards.

While we were walking we had to wait for this to pass into the lagoon.

The guys passed the time waiting this way.

Charming finally got the chinese food he had been waiting for. He loved his orange chicken.

I'm not sure how that plate ended up in front of me.

In China, the boys finally agreed to get their picture with Tink. It actual turned out quite cute.

Then we finished up with Norway and Mexico.

We decided not to stay for Illuminations. So we headed back to the house. For the life of me I don't remember what we ate that night. We must have foraged from the fridge. I'm sure Perla won't be able to help me remember because she was pretty out of it by this point as you probably deduced. I'm not sure she even knows how she got home that night.(Ibuprofin, tylenol and grand marnier anyone? )
