I hope everyone had a great holiday season and a Happy New Year! Been crazy around here, and i don't see it slowing down any time soon! However we do have Disney in just over 4 weeks so there is that!
Water Park Time!
The next day was a semi sleep in day, we had breakfast at 850 at Trattoria al Forno, this was really for me as I love Flynn Ryder.
Of course everyday I was waking everyone up to make it in time for all of our early morning plans and today both girls up before 7! Like what? Today should have been the one sleep in day.
I was able to move up the breakfast to 8:05 so we got ready and head out.. Of course as we are leaving Dillon announces she needs her Ariel ears... so I send everyone on there way and I rush back in and as I’m coming back out I see a boat pulling up, we never take the boats, so I can’t remember the order they go in, and what stop would be next, could i be so lucky to take it across the way to the boardwalk??? As I am reading the sign and walking I legit fall into a planter... that was fun don’t mind me, just wiping off some dust here, not causing a scene at all. After all of that the boat was going to Epcot next or something, i forget,
remember we never take the boat, and i walked.
They are cute ears... but maybe not worth all that!
While they waited for me to arrive Rob snapped some pics for his parents as they got these outfits for the girls, and they did look cute, he made sure to get the wine cabinet in the back ground...
Maren was a bit fussy during this meal, but i was really excited to be here, even if i felt like i didn't really get to enjoy it as much as i would have liked.
We met Flynn Ryder who was pretty funny, Rob made a comment to Dillon to take a picture and she goes mommy wants a picture, and Flynn goes oh now I see while we are really here, you know it! But i think Maren was a fan, too! Holding Hands!! Watch out Rapunzel! Dillon also pointed out my amazing Flynn Magic Band (have i mentioned i love the upgraded Magic Bands?) .
Then we met Rapunzel, and Prince Eric (who Maren wont even get out of her chair for!) and Ariel, who Dillon did show her ears too, so my prior mishap was excused. Ariel did seem to like the little Sebastian on the back, which i do have to say is a very cute detail!
Total Side note here, we are starting to question the characters and i am really going to miss these hugging pics! I hope they don't stop!
I forget what we had, and Dillon is just not a big breakfast person... I did have a bloody Mary which was good, and my food was fine, no food pics.... i mean what did you expect?
After breakfast we headed back to the hotel and got ready to head Blizzard Beach! Full Slow Pass mode here!
I don't think i have ever done a Disney water park, so i was excited to check it out, we picked Blizzard beach because they have a toddler area. We got there and Maren feel asleep as soon as we put her in the stroller.
Dillon had brought 3 pairs of shoes, Merrell, sneakers and jellies, but her jellies turned out to be to small, so we tossed them and got her some flip flops here. We also got a pair for Maren that she will never use, she hated them and now they are two small i am sure. But Dillon loves hers and wears them all the time.
We found a covered area in the back of the toddler area and i stayed behind and relaxed while rob and Dillon went on some slides and rides, and Maren napped. It was really nice and would have only been better if i had a drink, but it was pretty quiet and nice to really feel like i was relaxing in Disney!
They came back a bit later 1130 maybe? Dillon was very excited to tell me about the slides and how much fun it all was. By now Maren was getting up so they went to grab some lunch, we ate and relaxed before Maren did some of the baby slides in the toddler area, Dillon and Rob headed back to the big slides. They ended up just hanging out in the wave pool for about 2 hours!
The toddler/little kids area was great, Maren enjoyed it and so did Dillon when she hung out for a bit. I didn't get to check out any of the other areas this trip, but over all we enjoyed our visit. In May i think we are going to hit up Typhoon Lagoon, I don't want to but Dillon and Rob seem to enjoy it so i will make the sacrifice, maybe! I did find the pool clean overall, and a ton of lifeguards so it wasn't to bad on that front.
Around 220 we headed out of the park, on the way out we did a Mickey tie dye to apparently add to our growing collection? I should round them up and take a picture... maybe in a future update!
Then we met Goofy in his beach wear, no wait which is always nice! We then caught our Minnie van back to the hotel.
Of course we had to take some pictures on our way out! Pretty sure we took some of the same ones when we arrived as well!
We headed back to the hotel to shower and change. A storm was coming in but we had a place to be. We took a short break in the room and got ready to head out for the night.
Up next this was a poor outfit choice!
