Four Brits hit the world the TR! ***Finished***

[praisehisname]

What's the UK bad word?

Isn't it the front side? I think that's what we learned on Jo's PTR.

I had just read your trippie a few days before, and suddenly started laughing uncontrollably. I managed to explain to DH why I was laughing, but the people around me probably thought I was very insensitive toward the person with the allergy!

OMG Denise that's hilarious

I got my Epcot Homeschooling book. In fact, I'm going to get read some of it now! i'll check back to see what you got today.

Ooo is it good?

What did you get in the mail?? Enquiring (nosey) minds want to know!!!

As CE said my PP and also a set of YOAMD ears and a lanyard

There's a rumour flying around that Jo received her Photopass CD in the post today...

SOME of us think that means that she has her hands on still more great pictures and therefore should update!

I expect one when I wake up tomorrow, Jo!

Sorry CE was playing golf

Waiting not so patiently

Well you won't have to wait much longer

Third - who is TheDISneyFamily - am I supposed to know her from a former screen name. I feel so out of the loop.

Started quoting you Mary but I was going to say Thanks over and over TheDisneyFamily is Michelle MLill a great TR writer!

Ahem Jo! You have been spotted consorting on other threads and it is high-time you got your fanny back to your own!

(fanny--Southern noun meaning your bee-hind, not the UK bad word)

Not today I haven't this is the first moment I've had to DIS

What's the UK bad word?

Not sure


So I played golf today, well if you can call it that!!!! As soon as I'd finished I get told Jess is ill so dash the 30 mins to pick her up, dash back just in time to pick up Ellie, a quick trip home where I grab some bread and jelly as my very nutrious lunch before I take E to ballet, whilst chatting to another mum in the carpark we hear a crash from the Rectory next door and see a ladder and a man fall off (luckily only a 1 storey building) we run round and find a man in a big heap, ask him if he's OK to which he replied I don't think so Luckily his wife was in and she called the ambulance, he landed on his hip!!!! Turns out he's the new vicar who's only been there 3 days and he'd spotted a loose tile so decided, silly man, to fix it with no help! Not sure what his injuries are but it could have been so much worse So that's been my day Oh and I've managed a little update too...........

 

[DisneyJo]

We took a nap, yes we actually took a nap, the girls even changed into their pyjamas We had about an hour and a half sleep and were back on the bus at 3.45pm not bad timing as I wanted to get to MK for about 4pm Now the girls still had absolutely no idea about the party and as we arrived at the MK the driver announced that the park would close at 7pm due to the P&PP, I said this to the girls and their little faces dropped I then went on to say well it’s lucky I’ve got tickets then I got 2 huge hugs and they were so excited!


We walked up towards the turnstiles and as we had tickets we went to the RHS where a red carpet was laid, we were handed our booty bags and picked up maps. We headed straight for POTC as I’d heard this gets really busy later and we were on in under 10 mins, wow this is so much better after the refit, I love the opening waterfall bit and it just all looks much more realistic, Jack Sparrow especially looks really lifelike We couldn’t believe when we got off that it was nearly time for our 5pm ADR at CP. Jess had chosen this, as her absolute favourite character is Eeyore and luckily Ellie’s fave is Piglet! We managed to watch the end of the castle stage show whilst waiting about 10 mins for our buzzer to go off. The food was nice and I really liked the pulled pork, the first time I’ve ever tasted it, it was so good I even went back for more.

The characters here were great and Pooh had a serious crush on the girl at the table next to us, she was probably early 20’s, he kept coming back to see her, cuddling her, sitting next to her, and eventually pretended to propose to her She was sitting with another girl of a similar age and they sure got lots of attention from those randy characters

Then came the parade where all the characters invite kids up to parade around the restaurant waving flags, the girls both joined in.

Continued in next post here

 

[DisneyJo]

After our meal it still isn’t quite party time so we head off to Buzz, yep we love that ride maybe it’s the competitiveness in us And it broke down, but look at the cool photos we got

We then headed onto the TTA or whatever it’s called now and we got to see them doing the finishing touches to all the party and treasure spots! We then went and watched these guys, bit of a blurry photo but it shows how quick they were moving

We watched them for a while and it was really hilarious when they picked members of the audience to show their dancing OMG some of the dancing Sure am glad I wasn’t chosen!!!! We then hit some of the treasure spots, some gave you candy (btw those little silver kiss things sorry ) and the others bead necklaces each spot had a different colour, I think we got black, silver, gold, red, bronze and blue. We found every spot The girls met this character and I want you to tell me who she is??????

Ellie also joined in the dance party, maybe I did a little too she managed to get close enough to Flounder to get a photo too!

We also came across this, not sure if it’s there normally!

During the evening we rode PC x2, Buzz x2, Monsters inc x2, Carousel, SW, Tea cups and BTMR. We then grabbed ourselves a slushie drink and found a nice spot right in the middle of the hub where lots of people had sat down to watch the fireworks, it was great until 3 young people, about 18, came and stood in front of us literally just as the fireworks started, now if everyone was standing this wouldn’t have been an issue but we were all sitting on the floor including children in buggies and wheelchairs, everyone had a great view until they came So I asked her nicely if she’d move and she did but her BF said loudly stand there, block their view Why?????? I couldn’t stand up as then I’d block all the people behind so I watched with a partial view but OMG they are great fireworks, you are absolutely surrounded by them, awesome Our photos didn’t come out too great but here’s one.

We then headed off to get a parade spot and again this is great, this and the fireworks are worth the ticket price! If you want to see some really great parade photos see LL and Janet’s TR’s, I’ll just show you the one we had to take of one of Ellie’s favourites Tinkerbelle!

We did a few more rides before heading home at 11.50pm, so glad we had that nap and lasted this long

[DisneyJo]

Thanks everyone for BOOing me, I can remember last year when I'd only just joined seeing people say they'd been BOOed and thinking it was bad and people had been nasty

 

[Disneyolic]

Good for you that you took a nap. If it keeps you going...

I love seeing Crystal Palace photos. Pooh characters are great. I hope my kids like them forever.

The picture of David and Ellie is so precious! Daddy's littler girl....

And I think it was absolutely rotten of those people who stood in front of you, especially the BF. What a jerk. I would have "accidentally" rammed into him or tripped him as he was walking away after the fireworks..... But I'm being nice.

So, would you say that P&PP was worth the cost?

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Now the girls still had absolutely no idea about the party and as we arrived at the MK the driver announced that the park would close at 7pm due to the P&PP, I said this to the girls and their little faces dropped I then went on to say well it’s lucky I’ve got tickets then I got 2 huge hugs and they were so excited!

Awww!!! Lucky girls!

I love the CP photo's very cute! And at randy characters in CP!

ETA: I so would have gone all ghetto on those kids during the fireworks show. Of course, I think if Andy or Rick asked them to move, they would have.

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Great update, Jo. And after one crazy day. I hope Jess is feeling better.

I'm glad you were able to keep the P&PP a secret. I know you were trying to hold that one in. We went in February, and I agree, the fireworks and the parade alone are worth the cost of the ticket.

And a nap? I can't get mine to nap, even when they need it. I'm jealous. I'm staying with you next time

 

[Miz Diz]

Love the photos. I'm just wondering how David felt about the girls wearing the TFW lanyards. Was this forced upon them or were they willing participants?

 

[cmp1111]

Sorry CE was playing golf

I wouldn't have accepted this as an excuse except that you posted!

So I played golf today, well if you can call it that!!!!

OK, now all of THAT would have made a good excuse! Hope Jess feels better soon.

I said this to the girls and their little faces dropped I then went on to say well it’s lucky I’ve got tickets then I got 2 huge hugs and they were so excited!

Hooray!!!

She was sitting with another girl of a similar age and they sure got lots of attention from those randy characters

Well, they ARE animals...

And it broke down, but look at the cool photos we got

Those are great!

I have NO idea!

JERK.

Up next AK!

What a nice day for you all!
Looking forward to AK...

 

[PrincessV]

I know it's been said, but I'll add my voice: your girls are just adorable! Love all the pics from CP

People are so weird about parades/fireworks. It seems like common decency takes a hike for 20% of the population on any given night. Sorry you guys had to deal with it.

 

[jcc0621]

Great update Jo. Glad you liked P & P Party. So worth the $, wasn't it Here's hoping they have it again next August

to rude fireworks watchers.

Thanks for the shout out

 

[winkers]

I have no idea who that one character is...........

I would have been tempted to throw spit wads at the jerk who stood infront of you. Not sayin I would, but I'd be mentally throwing things!

 

[Disneyolic]

I don't think that is a character. I think that is how they dress in that shop....

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

What a great surprise for the girls, the P&PP!

The pictures from the Crystal Palace are great!

I really love the pictures you took while Buzz was broken down, what a neat idea.

I can not believe those jerks who just stood in front of you and blocked your view. I don't know what is wrong with people that makes them so RUDE! Glad you enjoyed the fireworks despite those nasty people.

I have read so many reports of the party and I really want to go now! Maybe someday!

 

[boysmom5150]

We took a nap, yes we actually took a nap

Im sure you guys needed it with the big time change is it hard on the girls?

I got 2 huge hugs and they were so excited!

gotta love that, how precious.

5pm ADR at CP. Jess had chosen this, as her absolute favourite character is Eeyore and luckily Ellie’s fave is Piglet!

we love CP my kids like the "pooh gang" especially my little one. Its a must do for us several times for bkfst

The characters here were great and Pooh had a serious crush on the girl at the table next to us, she was probably early 20’s, he kept coming back to see her, cuddling her, sitting next to her, and eventually pretended to propose to her

pooh bear was getting frisky eh?!!

(btw those little silver kiss things sorry )

do you mean hershey kisses?

The girls met this character and I want you to tell me who she is??????

I have NO idea, do you??

During the evening we rode PC x2, Buzz x2, Monsters inc x2, Carousel, SW, Tea cups and BTMR.

sounds like a good night

it was great until 3 young people, about 18, came and stood in front of us

I really hate people who dont know how to behave, They should know better I would have accidentally run into them with my stroller

OMG they are great fireworks, you are absolutely surrounded by them, awesome
We then headed off to get a parade spot and again this is great, this and the fireworks are worth the ticket price!

sounds like so much fun I must try to get there for a PPP.

We did a few more rides before heading home at 11.50pm

Whew that was a long day
looking forward to AK, wonder if Tracy stalked you successfully.

 

[english rose 47]

Loving the report. Sorry about the fireworks, some people are just so rude. I love it when a CM comes along and makes them move!!

 

[Disneydad99]

Hey Jo....

I enjoyed the Update...You Have a very Cute Family!!!

I think DM is correct...That is what they where at BBB!!!

& don't you just Love Buzz!!!

Sorry I have not been on Much but I have been out of town!!!

see ya Later!!

 

[DisneyJo]

And I think it was absolutely rotten of those people who stood in front of you, especially the BF. What a jerk. I would have "accidentally" rammed into him or tripped him as he was walking away after the fireworks.....But I'm being nice.

It was rotten wasn't it DM and I could see you ramming them

So, would you say that P&PP was worth the cost?

Yes, would I do it again? Not sure but glad I've been. Also sounds strange but you really didn't need to be into pirates or princesses to enjoy it!

And at randy characters in CP!

They were that

ETA: I so would have gone all ghetto on those kids during the fireworks show. Of course, I think if Andy or Rick asked them to move, they would have.

I needed your help there T didn't I

Great update, Jo. And after one crazy day. I hope Jess is feeling better.

A bit thanks K

And a nap? I can't get mine to nap, even when they need it. I'm jealous. I'm staying with you next time

Ahhhh but we did have jetlag in our favour

Love the photos. I'm just wondering how David felt about the girls wearing the TFW lanyards. Was this forced upon them or were they willing participants?

He didn't actually say anything about them surprisingly, and they chose to wear them they wanted to be spotted

Well, they ARE animals...

I know it's been said, but I'll add my voice: your girls are just adorable! Love all the pics from CP

Thanks V!

Thanks for the shout out

That's OK Janet, anytime

I have no idea who that one character is...........

Does no-one know????

I don't think that is a character. I think that is how they dress in that shop....

She is DM, I know just wanted to see if any of you did Apparently she is the fashion designer to the Princesses in the stories Now name her

I really love the pictures you took while Buzz was broken down, what a neat idea.

We sat there for a while before I thought to do it

Im sure you guys needed it with the big time change is it hard on the girls?

do you mean hershey kisses?

Yep sorry but they tasted of sick

I have NO idea, do you??

I do, and it's a pretty bad guessing game so far

 

[DisneyJo]

Loving the report. Sorry about the fireworks, some people are just so rude. I love it when a CM comes along and makes them move!!

Thanks Rosie

I enjoyed the Update...You Have a very Cute Family!!!

Thanks DD

I think DM is correct...That is what they where at BBB!!!

Nope she's definately a character had a handler and everything and she told me who she was
