Hags, Meltdowns, no makeup..OH MY!!!! 9/20 NEW PTR LINK POSTED

[jenseib]

WOW!!!! Your MIL never ceases to amaze me and not in a good way. I think I might be tempted to NOT travel with her anymore. She does stuff like this every trip. She acts younger than Hollie.

 

[CreightonsMomma]

Oh my! What a brat! I guess now you know what it would be like taking a teenager with you to Disney World. Seriously, she acted like my sister did when she was a teenager. Ugh. Thankfully, Hollie paid no mind to her. Glad you were able to keep your cool. Not sure I would have been able to.

The pics from CP were great! You are all so photogenic. I'm jealous!

 

[Megablocks]

Oh, gosh, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. Good for you calling her out, though!

Even though it was a bad start to the morning your pictures came out SO cute!

 

[leslie826]

I just found your TR! I don't know how you look in your usual make-up but you did an excellent job with your replacement make-up...you look beautiful in every picture! In the beginning of your report I thought how lucky you were to have someone to watch your baby while you do stuff with your older DD....then I got caught up. yikes!

 

[ArielSRL]

Great update! Again, your MIL reminds me so much of mine...so not fun!

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

Oh my, your MIL is my mom made over. We have done two vacations with her, the last being a trip to Disney in the Fall 2009. That was it. We did it as a treat for her 60th birthday and it will never happen again! I refuse to put myself through it let along my husband. It was horrible! I really feel for you.

Glad Hollie had a great time at CP. I have it booked for our Thanksgiving trip for breakfast just to get a little early time in at MK!

 

[mikkiwikki]

The show was over, and we loved it as always! I know that sometimes different places get bad reviews, but we have never had a bad time at the luau. We have always loved it! Disney is all about entertainment and this does entertain. Of course, it isn't the show they have always had there, but its still good!

I love the pics of the firedancers!!! Hooray ! you made my day!

 

[hlrababy]

Hmm...yes, I would venture a guess that there was a teensy bit of tension around!



That is too cute!!! Your girls both sound like awesome kids

Well, I'm sure that's not exactly the way you had wanted to start your morning, but hopefully things take a better turn!

LOL The face gave it away!!! lol

Aw, thank you so much! I am a little biased, but I do think they are pretty awesome!

Things did turn around for the most part! Just wait till you hear what happened next!! lol

Oh no on the MIL situation It looks as though you all had fun anyways and made the most of your breakfast at Crystal Palace. I love the photos with the characters and can't wait to eat here on our trip. I love Hollie's yellow Mickey top as well

Btw enjoy Florida with your BFFs - am sorry to hear the September trip is no longer taking place but on still being able to go in October!!

Aw, thank you so much! We did, we just kind of tuned it out! lol
I always find the cutest Disney shirts for her!

It was so nice just relaxing on the beach! Ahhhhhh

I am so excited about our October trip!

WOWZA!!!!!

Talk about drama!!!! I seriously don't know how I would of handled that situation! Your face says it all though...I am pretty sure that is how I look at my in-laws too!

I hope the rest of the day isn't like the morning....

I am telling ya!!! lol

It is hard but its been a learning experience through the years. Kind of like we are used to it!

Well, the afternoon got pretty interesting!! lol

She seriously wanted her picture taken with characters?? And that was more important than enjoying her grandkids?? OMG!!!

I do have to say, I have a MIL that totally favors my younger DS too. She just has never 'taken' to older DS. It's so sad and I know it makes my Dh sad. We all notice it. And ya know what? Older DS is so into her and always is so polite to her and wants to do things with her. It kills me the way she ignores all that! I can relate to you!

Oh yes!!!! It was almost like it was just another excuse to be mad about something!

It is so sad!! Its to the point now where Hollie doesn't even want to go to her house. She will tell us, "I am not going over to that womans house! No way no how!!" So, I told DH that we need to tell her no when she calls just expecting to get Hannah. If she can't do for both, then its gonna be neither one!

OH MY GOSH!!! What a yoch face! I work with a 51 year old lady who acts just like you MIL. A big baby and a martyr! REALLY??? Grow up! I feel so bad for Hollie! Hopefully, right now anyway, she doesn't realize that her gma isn't so nice to her. Thanks for posting the pics of CP and friends. I was able to show my DD what it looks like inside, for our trip NEXT WEEK!!!

LOL!!! I feel the same way. Grow up!!!

She can tell there is a difference the way she is always wanting Hannah and how she goes right to her when she comes over. But Hollie doesn't really want anything to do with her right now and its easy to see why. She favors my parents anyways. She was the firstborn grandchild on my side to my parents so she was spoiled rotten by them! lol Plus she loves going to the lake with my parents, she loves it when my dad takes her fishing, etc. So she is really close with them.

Oh good!!!! I am sure you guys have left so I hope you have an awesome time!!!

Wow!! That's just a shame

I agree!

You handleled that well! Chad backed you right up! Perfect!
I hope to hear she came down after that.

What I really wanted to do was throw my half eaten mickey waffle at her face!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

But....I didn't!

How old is this woman? Hasn't she grown up enough already in life to realize people cannot read her mind? If she wanted her pictures taken with the characters, shouldn't she just have asked? Or perhaps, she could have said "good morning" if it was so important to her to have a conversation? Like you are even able to focus on another person when you have two fighting for your attention 24/7 already! I'm sure your last concern was how an adult, who should be able to take care of themselves, was doing! And someone did try to start a conversation with her--her GRANDDAUGHTER! Oh my, oh my. Okay, I need to stop...! LOL

I'm so sorry you had your morning partially ruined by her! How incredibly unfair to you and Chad--and the girls!

Methinks she won't be coming on vacation with you again?

Despite the awful morning, the pictures are adorable!

lol She is about to turn 60! I agree, if you want it you ask. She is the one who always has to be put on a pedestal, be spoken too first, etc. Nope, not gonna fall for it!! My attention is gonna go to my 2 sweet babies first. Anything else you gotta wait! lol I love your post!!!!!!

Aw, thank you! I was glad I was able to get the pictures! lol

Jill is dreading the trip they are going to be taking with her in-laws, too. Family tension in Disney World isn't cool.





Exciting!!!

Bless Jill's heart!!!!! I feel for her, I really do! Like I have said before, I am sure we could share some stories but we would be sitting all day talking about it and could still keep going!

Wowza! What a way to start the day. Maybe she just needed her coffee I'm sorry she is so hurtful, and happy that Chad stood up to her. I hope you could enjoy your day.

I am telling you!
LOL needed her coffee....and her broom!

It was very hard to keep my cool!

Aw, thank you so much! That is too sweet!

LOL....I thought the same thing earlier in my trip!

Great update! Again, your MIL reminds me so much of mine...so not fun!

Exactly! Not fun at all!!

Oh no!!! That is how we are now. We are like, its just not worth it!

Oh cool!!! I just love getting in the MK early! Its so neat and fun!

I love the pics of the firedancers!!! Hooray ! you made my day!

Aw, thanks!! I am glad I could make your day!!

 

[hlrababy]

I still have the rest of our Magic Kingdom day left for my updates and then I also want to post some of our photopass pictures!!

Oh, and I will be starting my PTR for my girls trip sometime next week!

 

[Cat0727]

Ugh, your MIL is all about "me, me, me." Good for you for standing up to her and for Chad for backing you up!

I love how Hollie called her "that woman" So funny!

 

[hlrababy]

LOL Yes she is! If it isn't about her, then its no good! lol

Oh my goodness, well thats not even the start of that! One time Hollie called her the Wicked Witch of the West! Oy vey!!

 

[hlrababy]

I promise I have not forgotten my update. It has been a crazy weekend along with a crazy Monday! We are doing interviews in our office and on those days I am non-stop!

I have been thinking about all my DISfriends who were in the path of Hurricane Irene! I hope you all are safe!

 

[lmillercrew]

We made it back from our trip and had a great time with my DD. I was hoping for more fun for her and her bff, but she is like your MIL. Everything had to be about her and if it wasn't she would stop talking to my DD. If she was hot, tired, mad at her mom, or "hurt" because DD bought the same t-shirt that she liked, she would just not talk to DD.
Anyway, looking forward to the rest of your MK day!

Oh no!! Your poor DD!!! Bless her heart!! I really hate that for her! Well, I hope your DD had a great time anyways.

After Hollie met the Fairy Godmother, we made our way towards the entrance to Toon Town. We had planned on meeting the Fairies early since we knew there would be a wait later on. We got in line and about 5 minutes of waiting there, we were on our way to Toon Town! We got in line for the Fairies and waited our turn

My sweet big girl

We finally made it in and we were shrunk down to fairy size! First up was sweet Rosetta

Now by this time, Hannah had konked out!!! She was out for the count at the moment so there would be no fairy pictures for her. But, Rosetta noticed her asleep in MIL’s arms. So she looked at me and said, “Oooh, I wonder what Fairy was born when she had her first laugh!” Then she looked at Hollie and asked her if “Hannah was a garden fairy or a light fairy”. Hollie looked at her and said, “Uh, she is a baby fairy” lol

Now just wait till you see the photopass pictures of these. They are so sweet!!!

Up next was Vidia and Hollie was very excited to see her! She said she was gonna tell her she needed to be a little bit nicer to Tinkerbell and friends but Hollie did not tell her that…this time! Lol

The Vidia had to take a look at Hannah as well!

It was at this point Vidia asked Hollie if her baby sister didn’t like pictures to which Hollie replied, “Oh no she loves them! Uh, do you want to take a picture with her?”
So Hollie wanted to hold Hannah in the picture with her and Vidia. I stood to the side in case I needed to grab her! It was not one of the brightest ideas ever!

Up next was Tink!!

In this picture Hollie was explaining to Tink that she wanted some pixie dust to go please! Lol

 

[hlrababy]

Hollie had the brilliant idea to hold Hannah again! But you could tell Tink was very, very nervous about Hollie holding a little baby! I again, stood to the side! The PP pics are hilarious! I can’t wait to share those!

Tink made a remark about my jacket, so she and Hollie decided I needed to be in a picture as well

Somebody finally woke up! Check out the fairy kiss on her little forehead! Lol

After getting back to our right sizes, we decided to visit Minnie and Mickey’s house for the last time since this was the last day Toon Town was gonna be open

Bye bye Mickey’s Toontown

 

[hlrababy]

Hollie wanted a tea party so what better way to have one than to go to the TEACUPS!!!

My sweet baby girl!

After we got off the ride, I noticed Alice and the White Rabbit were taking pictures. Of course when it was our turn, it was also time for Alice to go and check the red roses!

After that, it was the moment Hollie had been waiting for. Okay, and I have been waiting for!

Hollie’s first ride on SPACE MOUNTAIN!!!!!! YAY!!!!

Here is my sweet girl waiting in line

I thought I had taken a picture of her on the ride, but it might have been on my cell phone. But, anyways. She LOVED IT!!! I have never laughed so hard in my life! She laughed and whooped and hollered the entire ride! It is definitely one of her favorites now!
After we got off we saw some little sneaky guy waiting around!

After that we decided to ride one of our favorites! The Tomorrowland Transit Authority!!! Also known as “People mover!” lol

After that we decided to head on over to Adventure Land! Stay tuned for a wild jungle adventure along with a missing outfit incident!

 

[basketkat]

The interactions with the fairies were adorable!!! I bet the Photopass pics are great!!!

The tea cups, People Mover, and Space Mountain are some of my favorites!!! Okay...who am I kidding??? It's ALL my favorite!!!!

It looks like you're all having a lot of fun!

 

[Poolrat]

Looks like everyone "recovered" from breakfast.

Glad you all had a fun time with the fairies and about Space Mountain.
