1. That scares me
2. We have this one too. I too have that song in my head now. In fact just like Sawyer my DS9 when he was around 2 we played this tape (yup it was a tape) every second of our day as well. There was also a beach one he loved as well.
3. I can't believe those CM's. How rude! I do like the pictures of the girls when they weren't smiling better though. And not to know who was who. Rude I tell you rude. You tell all of the girls (Sawyer included too) that they looked just gorgeous.
1. I know!!
It involved washing babies butts, cleaning feet, etc...
2. Ours is a tape, too! This way he could put it in himself, instead of me having to put the DVD in all the time! I bought him the beach one for Christmas and he loves that one, too. I find it much more irritating! Could those kids BE any more obnoxious at the beach, with their manic dancing and singing?
3. I think the rudest part is that he told them he didn't know who they were, and with a really rude tone in his voice!
I read your update yesterday and I have to say that I am still mad
about how the kids were treated today. Unbelieveable! BBB was bad enough but the photographer and his assistant were just so mean and rude. I am so sorry that they had to go through that - I hope it didn't put a damper on their day and the trip. I hope you or Teresa gave or give someone an earful over this.
It didn't ruin our trip at all! This was a bad experience and we wouldn't let it ruin our whole trip! The rest of the day was MUCH better!
Ok, first you made me laugh then you made me mad/sad. I was laughing at that Sing-along tape that we have too and my DD2 makes me watch almost every day. Thanks to you, I have "I'm walking right down the middle of Main St. USA" stuck in my head now!! I always laugh at the birdie with the dunce cap in the intro who says "but I don't know all the words". Then, I got so mad at the photographer who was so mean to your kids and sad for your daughter who looks like she's about to cry in the photos. How frustrating!! and after the bad experience at BBB. Please tell me things get better!!!
Glad to oblige with the "head music".
I believe the dunce cap guy says "But, I don't know how that song goes." But, I could be wrong.
I really disappointed and upset with Tessa's pictures! I hope that all the girls did not turn out this way and that the guy loosened up. That is rediculous! Those need to be emailed to disney in that order with that description! That whole experience has not been pleasant it seems let alone magical!
I KNOW! I wonder if I could do a scathing expotv review on it!
What a beautiful photo!
Yes, I LOVE that picture!
1. looked SO SAD. No one should look like that at the Happiest Place on Earth. That's terrible.
2. As for the song, we always sing that while walking down Main St. USA, too. It's such a fun song!
3. I'm already eagerly waiting for the next installment.
1. REALLY!
2. We should have met at MK so we could link arms and walk down Main Street USA together!
3.
1. I am horribly offended that anyone would treat my nieces that way!!
2. AND
WHOdoesn't know who Giselle is????? It was very apparent. I hate that you had such a bad experience w/ all of this.
3. NOW I know when I'm planning something special I may have to threaten the WDW staff first.
I am all about being the squeeky wheel, but it's WDW...they pretty much make "the rules". So theres that.
4. I hope the girls recover quickly in the next installment.
...t.
5. ps. I skip all the parades, I am such a downer...I just can think of better things to do than stand in the sun for 20 minutes. OH, with the exception of the Boo to You parade which I may travel along the parade route on my way somewhere else to get a glimpse of Jack Sparrow.
1. Thank you for being offended, Aunt T!
2. That guy, I guess!
3. Yes, threaten first, that should do the trick! I can just see you now. "You better make this MAGICAL, or I'll put the smackdown on yah!"
4. They do! It was Teresa and I that were upset the most by it.
5. We skipped most of the parades, except for the exceptionally stupid one at MGM that I wish I would have skipped.
1. girl you have got some restraint. I'd have unleashed the Donald Duck on that un Disney photographer. I probably would have said very unDisney words too. I'm awful that way.
2. Poor Tessa...she pert near broke my heart. She looked sad and slightly confused. What a JERK.
3. Apparently everyone who is supposed to be kind and full of the disney spirit drank from the same coffee pot that somebody wee'd in.
makes me mad just thinking about it.
4. oh and girl...I've got to tell you...NO NO on the drinking fountains...I've seen some nastiness in those fountains myself and icky poo not fit for humans!
YAY on the ducks!!!
5. I love it that Sawyer was sucking on a jewel!
fun chapter!!!
6.
1. I honestly was just trying not to upset Teresa. If she hadn't paid for it, I'm sure I would have been a bit more forward.
2. I know, it's the confused part that really gets me. That guy acted like she was so stupid that she didn't immediately understand every pose he told her to do.
3.
4. Why didn't you tell me that BEFORE I left!?
5. I know, that kid is crazy! I'm glad he didn't choke on it before I got it out of his mouth.
6.
to you, my friend.
1. I love that picture of Sawyer and Arminda too!!! What sweet hearts!!! Sawyer and his karate moves were pretty awesome.
2.Thanks for posting the picture of me stuffing my face with a granola bar!!! I will have to make sure to include some equally flattering pictures of you in a future installment!
3. Steph, no Lydia wasn't going to slug someone, that is her "I'm very nervous and don't know what to do" look. See how she is trying to hold Tessa's hand for comfort? Poor babies.
My update is coming soonish...........
1. That's right, he's got the rad moves, the super super bad moves, brad moves, HEY! (that's from Backyardigans in case you aren't up to date on your preschool television)
2. You're welcome! I already commented on your TR that you posted a picture of me bending over from the side that shows all 12 or so of my stomach rolls. So, I'd say the favor has been repaid
3. So sad
Wow Heather...what a JERK is right. Those poor girls!!! It really irked me when you said he made fun of some of the girls outfits too. That must have crushed them....how sad and mean.
Tessa looks heartbroken in those pictures!!! Poor little sweetie!
Sawyer, on the other hand looked like he was having fun there!! He is so cute!!! He makes a great Prince Charming. That picture of Arminda kissing him is so precious....so adorable!!!!
(Oh and I have never heard of this video you speak off, with the Main Street song....I might have to check that out). lol
I think we were more upset over the outfit comments than the girls. They all knew they looked beautiful!
You've never heard of
Disneyland Fun!? They still sell it, so you MUST go and buy it!! It's a bunch of kids from the late 80's running around Disneyland with the characters, riding rides, and singing. I actually really like it!
DEFINETLY make sure Disney sees those pics Mom!!! That makes me wanna open a can of...... well. .....You know.
Take away the bands of restraint and send that letter and pics, set your feelings free! We'll all help out with additional commentaries for you to include with what you write if you'd like us to. We'll take care of that guy!
Nobody does that to a DISboutique kids and gets away with it! RIGHT GIRLS AND GUYS!?!?!?! We'll make him RUE THE DAY he ever messed with Tessa and the Sistas!
LOVIN' the TR so far- even if there are some STUPID HEADS that have to be included in it.
I love you Karen, with your "RUE THE DAY" comment!
Between you and your sisters trip reports I am just thouroughly amused now
. I'm even more anxious to go, it's going to be a long 6months!!
Glad to be of service!! I'm hoping I get to go back in February. I'm working on talking my mom into going with me!
Heather, poor Tessa! I can't believe how rude everyone was on that day!
I know what you mean about saying "smile big!" We NEVER get natural smiles like that. I have to get the photographer to make Leighanna laugh to get the best smile. Otherwise it ends up like poor Tessa's!
I am hoping the rest of the trip is more magical!
What kid does look good when they're trying to smile as big as possible?!
Glad you made it over to my TR!
It looked like she was trying to protect Tessa to me. Oh, that makes me so mad all over again. Little girls should be happy in the magic kingdom!Especially these little girls, who are so wonderful.
I did forget that Sawyer's pictures are great; love that boy's karate moves! And him with Arminda always makes me smile, what a sweetheart!
I know, isn't that sad?
I wish you would have gotten to see Sawyer in true form, instead of the several day napless little terror you got to see.
Oh no 
it went from bad to worse! 
Are the girls scarred for life??? I hope the rest of the trip "drowned" out this part and they won't remember it too much. I think I would truely report what you reported here to WDW. The comments were seriously uncalled for.
Well, despite photographer-crabby-pants, Sawyer and the girls look handsome/beautiful and I hope you go on some rides soon and have a generally good time!!!
They recovered rather nicely and we had a great rest of the day!
Awww, I felt so bad looking at your daughter's sad face in those pictures. You guys were just catching all the crabby CM's that day weren't you. You would think that Disney would match personalities with jobs, but oh well.
Yes, we did seem to get the worst of them. I think most CMs just really don't like dealing with big groups. We got a lot of flack all over the parks when we were all together.
Poor Tessa! You can just see the progression of her sadness through the photos. But yes, she is beautiful sad. Sawyer's pictures made me laugh. That boy has got some moves!
I didn't realize it until I was looking at the photos how sad she must have been. I feel guilty that I didn't just yank her out of there. That stupid head photographer and his stupid head assistant!
thanks for the trip report!
Did you let Disney know how awful their photographer was? He is dealing with little kids here and groups of people who come together he should be used to it!
Wait until he sees my crew coming in in November and I can assure you I wouldn't hold back. I am so upset for you and your dd! My jersey attitude is all in a dander!
The pictures were great!
You print out our pictures, find the guy with the gray hair and you give him a piece of your Jersey mind in November!
Poor girls. They look pretty, though.
Thank you! The sad thing is, they looked pretty before Teresa spent all that money and we spent all that time!
Oh Heather! I had no idea you such an awful photographer. You NEED to write a letter/email WDW. Even if you don't have his name tell them the date and time and they will figure out who it was.
Tessa looks so sad.
The Family Fun parade would have been better if Morgan had been in it LOL-She LOVES that parade.
Yes, Morgan makes everything more fun! Tessa finally sent her letter out yesterday!
Thanks for the update!! We too have the Disneyland Fun movie that gets watched and rewatched, to a point now where it doesn't load properly and we have to pick the songs from the main selection...lol DH has told me that he wants to skip down Main St. too!!! I am glad to hear that you guys got to do it!! I am sooooo sorry to hear about your photographer and co's behavior!! That is just terrible!! I hope it didn't ruin too much more of everyone's day!!
It sounds like your DH is slightly different from mine! I don't believe I've ever seen Henry skip!
It makes me so mad to see Tessa look so sad! That is truly horrible. When we did BBB they didn't have the photoshoot option and now I am glad. How could they treat our Tessa like that?
Poor Lydia looks like she is about to slug someone. I guess their shoot didn't go well either?
Nope, Lydia is just sad and confused.
Wow, what an awful photographer. I am sorry your photo session went so badly. I hope that you and Teresa are writing letters to Disney. The look on poor Tessa's face says it all. Poor sweet girl.
We haven't written letters, but now I'm thinking we should!
Be NICE...remember you LOVE each other!!!
