Poor Pierre wearing a long sleeved shirt Florida in September!

I haven't been on Soarin' yet and I can't wait to go on it!

Yeah, I felt kinda bad but he should have thought to bring a T in his carry on. Like his wife did for herself and 2 kids Soarin' was unbelievable!

Loving the report! Too funny about Bob snoozing with Crush!

Thanks Sarah! It was funny!

Poor Piere! That blows that he had to wear that long sleeved shirt! Hope he gets changed soon

I finally have a day off to catch up too. Better Pierre than me Bella could not stand the seagulls! They were "annoying" her!

yay! your home! love the trippie so far!

Good start, can't wait to hear more. I was cracking up at Bella and tieing herself to the rope and Bob sleeping already! At least things seem to be going smoothly so far, except for no luggage yet!

It was hysterical when she tied her shorts! Bob fell asleep plenty more times!

[pierresgirl]

So we were wandering through WS on our way to Restaurant Marrakesh in Morocco, sipping the frozen lemon drink and taking it all in. WS is just fabulous! As we turned the corner into Morocco Bob sucked in his breath (as I expected would happen) and wanted to take about 895 pictures. The tiling is gorgeous, the buildings are spot on and you feel like you ARE in Morocco. Of course the kids found the fountain straight away and Bella was desperate to get the money out of there. She was laying on her stomach, 2 seconds away from jumping in for a quick swim (and treasure hunt). We got some people to take a picture of all of us together and then went to check out the store.

The kids each got a mask and started to color them in while I went to see if our table was ready. Just before I walked into RM I saw the Genie with only a couple of kids so I put my name down (they were already ready for us) and grabbed the kids to see him before we ate. We didn't get any autographs this trip, been there, done that, they collect dust and are left laying around getting on my nerves.

So Bob has this need to talk to anyone who will listen and half of what he says is embarrasing because you know people don't give a hoot but let him go on. Of course he has to chat up all of the girls and tell them my name (like they care) and let them know it's a Persian name and blah, blah, blah. and he says the couple of Moroccan words he knows... Anyways, they seat us all the way to the left against the wall which kind of p*sses me off but I don't pull a Leyla like I usually do , I just kept quiet. We are in Disney after all. We peruse the menu and decide to get 3 apps and 3 entrees and just share them all. I know I had the Jasmina salad which was WONDERFUL and the other 2 apps were just okay. For the entrees we got chicken kabobs, beef kabobs, seafood bastilla and lamb. Both kabobs were pretty dry unfortunatly but the seafoos bastilla was gorgeous and the lamb meat FELL of the bone. Yum!! Bob apparantely needed a bib!

Annnndddddd, for our entrees (10 insulin units needed by Pierre, that's ALOT)

I took a pic of Cooper playing with his mask under the guise of getting a snapshot of the guy behind him. He looked EXACTLY like Simon Cowell! I even got up to go to the bathroom so I could get a closer look but he didn't have a British accent. He seriously could have been his twin!

The belly dancer did her little shimmy and if we had been CA-LOSER we really could have checked it out! Bella stood at the railing and shook her thang a little which made us all laugh because if you knew her... She's ALL set with that kind of stuff! Our waiter gave us a to-go box of pastries that were crazy good and we headed off outside to use our Soarin' FP's. We noticed that it rained while we were inside, guess we got lucky and missed it! We got to Soarin', dumped off the stroller and went inside. Flew through the line with our FP and while we were waiting I noticed a Dream Team member talking to some people so I started sweatin'. Pick me, pick me, pick me. No luck, didn't even look our way. Jerk. Needless to say Pierre and Cooper LOVED the ride and it was just as good for me! We went outside and saw we missed more rain.

I had wanted to stay for Illuminations but decided I didn't want to deal with the bus crowd so we hit the road.

As soon as we got 1 foot under the bus awning the sky opened up and POURED buckets of rain, we just made it! We only had to wait a few mins for the bus and we were on our way back to CBR.

Day 2 Magic Kingdom coming soon!

 

[jordanyosh]

You got lucky w/ the rain.....

Does that luck hold out for the whole trip? I guess we'll have to wait and see

Where did you get that drink? I will have to try it. and get a pic of it.

Hockey season started. The Ducks and Kings played in London and split the series.....

 

[pierresgirl]

Magic Kingdom day!

I woke up nice and early, actually I woke up several times during the night because my legs were unbelievably itchy, and made a pot of coffee. I checked out my legs and they looked pretty rough, covered in bumps I couldn't help but scratch. The kids woke up about 6:30 and Bella declared she needed to go for a swim. I said I'd take her (pickin' my battles) because I knew darn well I'd have to hear her moaning and groaning about going to the pool ALL day. We decided on 10 mins tops and she was good with that. She and I hit the pool at TS, marveling over the sunrise on the beach. In for the dip and after 5 mins I saw what I thought was a drifting leaf in the water near her leg but it was moving kinda fast. I told her to go to the edge and the thing FOLLOWED her! I pointed it out and she couldn't get her buns outta there fast enough. It swam right to the edge where we were so we moved and it STILL followed us!!! Two more times!!! She was all set with the pool. I told her to jump in on the other end (just so it would seem like I was encouraging the pool ) knwing full well she wouldn't. Look at this sucker!

We had a snack in the room and went over to the bus stop to get the bus to the Magic Kingdom and got here by 8:30, later than what I wanted but still good. We walked onto Main Street and I caught a picture of Bob seeing Cinderella's castle for the first time, I wish I could see his face better in the pic though. His jaw just dropped! I must tell you that last month I read a really good book about an Iranian woman and her life growing up in Iran, Austria and USA and how each time she thought of America she imagined Mickey Mouse would be at the airport to greet her. I'm sure that my Dad felt some of that too!

It was a LOEMH day so we headed straight for Fantasyland. Now if you like any of the rides over there you MUST take advantage of these hours! Amazing and frees you up for the good stuff later. I decided that Mickey's Philharmagic would set the tone for the day and did it ever! Pierre was quiet just before we went in which is a sure sign of low sugar (for him, if you knew him...) so I tossed him a granola bar. Cooper slid his glasses down his nose a few times but loved it! We hit up Winnie the Pooh next and Pierre was given a time pass.

I think it was less than a 5 minutes wait. Next up was Peter Pan which I had never done before but thought it was cute. Cooper thought some parts were scary and wanted off but again declared it as AWESOME! when we were done. They didn't want to do much else in Fantasyland and it was time for the rest of the park to be opened so we headed over to Splash Mountain. On the way over the money finally managed to burn through their pockets and into the hands of a girl selling Mickey ears. Bob got a new hat too, good thing, the old one stank!

We got to Splash and I grabbed FP's for BTMRR. Splash was walk-on baybees! Cooper wasn't sure at first but I told him we would go on the *cough*cough* easy side, you know? The one with no drop... We got on our log and drifted off, me and Coop were in front of Bella and Pierre and Bob held up the rear.

I can be honest and say I didn't really care for it, it's kind of old but the kids loved it. Bella, of course, stood up in her seat towards the end stating it was great and wanted to get back on immediatley. Cooper was yelling that it was SWEET! Pierre and Bob really liked it too. We got off and wandered a little looking for coffee and I heard Woody's Cowboy getting started so I tried to rush Cooper over. MELTDOWN number 1, my peeps! Not having any of that bizniz! He do NOT like Woody (news to me) and tossed his body around a couple of times pretty much ruining it for us. Guess the old character thing isn't gonna fly this time. Here comes Grandpa acting like the hero he thinks he is... Anyways, I ignore him and we headed back to BTMRR.


S'up P-dog with the Mickey ears?!

A few ride shots

I thought this ride was great! I was nervous but my friend said it was her 4 year olds favorite ride so I can't wimp out! Cooper sat between me and Bob and that thing took off like a rocket! Bella, of course, was screaming "that was off the HOOK!" when we got off. Poor Bob needed some help, guy did NOT feel good.

I really wanted to go in the Haunted Mansion since it just reopened so we left Cooper (much to his dismay, he didn't want me to go on a scary ride) and Bob at the Country Bear Jamboree. Bella decided at the last second to go on it but was regretting it when she was in line. Too late kiddo! We had about a 15 minute wait here till we hopped our Doombuggy. I did it last year but can't really recall what was changed. I think Bella only took about 4 breaths the whole ride. We went to collect the rest of our gang and Cooper was miserably sitting in the stroller. Bob said he didn't want to see the CBJ, oh well, not my problem! It was getting close to our lunch ressies at Crystal Palace so we headed over. Cooper drooled over the McDonalds fry stand. Shocker. On our way I got FP's for the Jungle Cruise which I've always thought was pretty cute, corny, yes, but still cute!

Up next, lunch at CP and will Cooper EVER talk to another character again?

You'll have to stay tuned to see about the rain! He got it in France at a stand on teh left hand side. Delish! One of my clients yesteday mentioned hockey so I acted like I knew all about it when I got home last night

These pictures are awesome as is Bella saying " off the hizzie".......

Nice cliffhanger.......

 

[snowwhite325]

I just started reading your trip report but I love it so far!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Wow you are flying through your updates. I hope your little guy turned around and started to like the characters, and dont you just love the crowds during september there.

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Bob looks SO happy in all the photos of him!

 

[pierresgirl]

On our way to CP Cooper and Bella spot this cooling location! What kid doesn't like some water?!

I checked into CP and we got our first photo of the baby with his eyes open so the kids ooh and ahh over that and we take some castle pics to send to them. Here's one

It didn't take too long for us to be called in and we were led to the right, tucked in the corner, near the door. Bella was bouncing off the walls after seeing the characters so she needed a talking to. I'll be honest and tell you that they don't have the best table manners, she can't sit her butt down, one leg has to be standing and Cooper feels the need to get up about 15 times per meal. I've done a little Nanny 911 action which works when I'm consistant but my little talk seemed to do the trick. The guys grabbed their food since Mr.You Know Who didn't want to see Pooh and the waitress told Bella the charcters come around once per hour so hold tight.

We got in line quickly since it looked like we had some time and got our food. There is quite the selection here and you got some probs if there ain't nuthin' you like! I can't recall exactly what I got but liked it. the rest of Winnie's gang made the rounds and Cooper loves him some T- i- double g-e-r so he decided they would be worthy of him. I did get Bella a hat to autograph but she ruined it before we even left CP with that stupid Misty Mate (which didn't really make an appearance after day 3, the kids got on my LAST nerve with them!) BTW- I only have 1 nerve.

I also had some icecream with LOTS of rainbow sprinkles. Their sprinkles were SO good! I love this pic of me and Cooper! Bob took it and it took him forever to press the button! He thinks himself a master photographer because when he was in the Iranian Navy he was a ships photographer (has tons of pics of the Shah which are pretty neat to look at)

After we stuffed ourselves silly (6 units for you counters!) we hit the Jungle Cruise, walking right on in again, yeah we had FP's but it was still super quick! They all got a kick out of the jumping tarantula in the wooden box. We got on Dustin's boat and headed off into the Jungle. He was a great guide, really got into it.

Just a few more shots

I thought this one came out pretty cool, where the water falls

We all enjoyed the ride and were going to head out of the park but as we walked up the stairs I saw the line for Aladdin's. Or Al or Din... Well there wasn't really a line so I hopped on with the kids and got on the next flight. It's hard to see us but we are at the top and my arm is up.

Bella wanted to look in the shop which may come as a surpise and begged to buy a stupid bags of plastic jewels for %#$%#$ $6.95 #$%#$%# so I finally let her, hey it's her money so whatevs. I saw Jasmin and Aladdin and pointed her out to Bob who practically jumped the ropes to get his picture with her. OMG I was really dying with laughter. The lady told him Jas was leaving but he totally ignored her so she had to stop him. I still got a pic just for him, isn't she purdy? Poor guy.

This time we were REALLY going to leave but when we got to Main Street I asked Cooper if he wanted to do Buzz and both kids did so that's where we went. Walk on again my fair readers! Peeps is still acting like Pirate Mickey, that must be Elizabeth Swan with him!

Arrrggghhh, Prisoners!

It was Bob, Pierre and C-man against the girls. Alright we didn't keep score but it was a fun ride, none the less! I really wanted my Dad to see the parade and it was 2:30 so Pierre took the kids back to the hotel and I stayed with Bob. We went on Monsters. Inc. since it's right next door and also in the AC. Jeez, in every pic of me I look like a sweaty greaseball. I got me some of that stuff Courtney (andRyan fame) but it didn't work for me! Anyways, I was the first person they put up on that big screen, didn't see what it said under my name but it's a cute show.

Hidden Mickey!

 

[pierresgirl]

and thanks for reading! I'm going fast and furious!

Wow you are flying through your updates. I hope your little guy turned around and started to like the characters, and dont you just love the crowds during september there.

I'm trying, I don't want to forget stuff! I've been in Oct. before and it was very similar but I was unedumacted and "one of them"

Bob looks SO happy in all the photos of him!

He really did and didn't want to leave!

These pictures are awesome as is Bella saying " off the hizzie".......

Nice cliffhanger.......

It's even funnier when Cooper says stuff like that. His 2 favs are "sweeeeet" and " niiiice"
