Hey Mom, Check out my new Spider-Man move! (Last day & Final Thoughts - 1/10)

[Brave teacher]

Glad you enjoyed Test Track but bummer Cooper couldn't ride. All the more reason to go back!

You know we'll be back. Cooper has to ride TT. It'll be fun next time though. We're going with my parents, sister, and her daughter. My parents last trip was pre-Epcot, and my sis and godchild have never been. Cooper will be above 40" at that point. Rebekah (godchild) is close to 48", so there will be very little that we don't go on.

 

[Brave teacher]

Oh my goodness! I just about died when I heard Darth Vader coming out of the GPS device!! That is awesome!

I'm glad you were able to get all of your room requests!

I hope Cooper was able to make the height requirement for other rides! Thankfully Lauren was okay for everything we tok her on.

Can't wait to hear what you did next!

Glad you enjoyed Vader. He's still rocking my GPS right now.

I was so happy the CM was able to find soomething for me. Gave us a great start.

YAY for Lauren!

 

[Brave teacher]

Aww! I'm so sorry Cooper was unable to ride. They measured Ashton twice at the entrance and again right before we loaded into the car. The first time he was measured the CM said no and I told her try again he is tall enough. So, another CM came over and told Ashton to stand tall and laughed and giggled with him and sure enough he just made it past the bar.

Oh! well something for him to look forward to for the Mardi Gras return...

They tried a couple of times when Bryan brought him and then with me as well. He just did not want to cooperate at all.

 

[Brave teacher]

Poor Cooper, that stinks a lot. We had some up and down moments with the measuring thing as well. Test Track is fun-what a great way to start out your trip!

Lordy...I'll be looking to see what ups and downs you had as well. It was a great start!

TS3 Friday 6 pm showing...

 

[Bridora]

Hooray for keeping on time so far!

Poor Cooper.

Hi Megan

Great start to your Trip! Glad to hear everything is going well with room and more.

Poor Coop! I hope he is tall enough later in the trip! TT is such a fun ride.

 

[Coach81]

THE SUPER-SUMMER-MEGA vacation DVD is now ready for viewing!!! It is a 3 part, epic..... some of my best work I must say.. let me know when we can get together to watch it!!!

Also.. you owe us $35.00 for scamming us with the "Disney ATM Card Deal"...

Turns out.. the rewards are only $1.00 for every $200.00 spent.. as opposed to the rate of $1.00 for every $100.00 spent on our Visa Credit Card.. and NO you can't pay off one with the other.. the bank won't allow it.. so I figure you owe us the annual fee of $35.00 that you have to pay for it...

Just send the check in the mail....

Love,
Coach

Poor Cooper.

I know! Makes me happy!

Hi Megan

Great start to your Trip! Glad to hear everything is going well with room and more.

Poor Coop! I hope he is tall enough later in the trip! TT is such a fun ride.

Thanks! I was happy to have everything start smoothly.

I know! I hated that he missed out on TT with us. We'll discuss attempt #2 later.

We'll watch it soon enough I'm sure. Bryan hasn't sat down to do our s yet. We'll get there eventually.

I owe you nothing. I m entioned the $1 for every $200 when I mentioned it to you last weekend. I mentioned it by saying you may want to see if it can be used to pay off the Disney Visa.

 

[Brave teacher]

So, I have been super busy this week. I've wanted to log on here and check to see what's up, but I get pulled away everytime.

So...continuing on with the last update.

Cooper was upset because he couldn't ride TT with us. What did he and Bryan do while we rode?

First, he brought Cooper to one place that immediately calms any kid - Mousegears. After searching for a while, Cooper picked something out for himself - a water-mister fan. REALLY?!?!?! Out of everything in that store, he picks out the fan?!?!? Oh well, it's what he wanted. Bryan was smart and picked up another fan for Sammy.

After Mousegears, he brought Cooper out to wait for us to get off of TT. He ran around the trees and played in the misters by TT.

After getting off TT, it took a while for all of us to get back with each other. Madeline, Sammy, and I were in one car. Stacey, Sonny, and the 3 girls were in another car. Once we were all together, STacey and the girls wanted to go on Mission:Space. We opted out since Cooper had to miss out on the first attraction. We wanted to do something he could do as well. Our plan? Spaceship Earth...he loves it!.

On our way there, Sam wanted to walk through Mousegears as well, so we did a walk through to the the exit near the fountains. Before we got to SSE, the boys asked if we could go to Turtle Talk instead. Bryan and I agreed. Madeline had never seen it before, so we changed our plan. SSE will have to wait till later.

We walk over to the Seas with Nemo and Friends and see a MASSIVE line for the clammobiles.!

The wait time was somewhere around 30-40 minutes! For the clams?!?!?! The ride is not worth the wait (for us), so we entered through the gift shop. When we got to TT with Crush, the attendant told us the next show would be starting in a couple of minutes. COOL!!!! We walked in and found a seat on one of the rows while Sam and Cooper went to sit on the floor. That did not last long for Cooper. Since he couldn't see us, he thought we left him. He enjoyed it from my lap instead. Loved the show asa always!

Afterwards, we had the need for some bathroom breaks, and Madeline wanted to see the manatee feedings. We went upstairs to the restroom. We all waited for each other by the dolphin tanks before we let the boys go through the other exhibits.

Next time? We'll finish the Seas tour.

 

[cbg1027]

Cooper seems like a smart kid - picking out a mister fan! He's wise beyond his years.

I love watching the manatees get fed!

 

[RachelNinja]

Oh MAN! I saved your trip report link in my favorites list, but I never came back to it! So stinky me for being behind but it's also rather exciting because I have a lot to read in one sitting!

Ouch, the jaw story made me cringe! I guess there's always that silver lining though!

Haha, what an AWESOME addition to have Darth Vader's voice! Weird would absolutely LOVE that! I think I'd be a little creeped out by it if he had it on and I were just waking up from a nap. At the beginning, I'd be so thrown off by it!

We have the same rule in the car. Everyone MUST go to the bathroom even if you don't THINK or FEEL like you have to go! But I too have a fairly small bladder, and since I drink a lot of water for my medication, I'm always worried about stopping and slowing everyone down!

Boo to the 2 hour Red Lobster dinner! Those are the most frustrating experiences. I wouldn't want to have such a long dinner even if we weren't on a road trip. I'd be anxious the entire time and frustrated too! And to not even enjoy the dinner made it even worse. Thankfully you were less than 24 hours away from Disney!

I don't think it's bad that you wanted the hash brown casserole for yourself. My mom, for the most part, gives everything to us kids. I appreciated it but felt bad at the same time. It always got me thinking if I would do that. And yes, there are some things I'll be willing to share. I give up some things to Matt, and he's my brother, so I'm sure I'd be even more willing with my own kid. But then I sometimes have things that I just do NOT want to share. Haha, I'd have to order another plate or another drink for my kids! We deserve to have the best of things once in a while too! Haha, wait, that's funny ... I said "we" as if I were already a mom. Whoops!

Love the Epcot updates! I should really get moving on mine!

 

[MaryAz]

Poor Cooper. I hope he makes it on some other "big kid" rides. Yay for Turtle Talk!

 

[YukiPhnx]

I love those mister fans! We bought 2 for $14 on our trip and they fit very well in my bag. Now we bring them everywhere with us in the summer.

 

[Coach81]

We'll watch it soon enough I'm sure. Bryan hasn't sat down to do our s yet. We'll get there eventually.

I owe you nothing. I m entioned the $1 for every $200 when I mentioned it to you last weekend. I mentioned it by saying you may want to see if it can be used to pay off the Disney Visa.

You know I'm just kidding!!!!!


But seriously, it is better to just use your regular Visa..that is what we plan to continue to do...


Love the update.. we haven't done Crush in a good while.. and we missed SE this trip as well, Alisa says that we were "rushed" more than normal due to trying to entertain our family.. I know what her plan is.. to try and get me to break and let you girls have an all-girls trip... NOT GONNA HAPPEN... No way I'm missing a trip to Disney... no way!!!

See ya tonight!!!

 

[Believeinfairytales]

You have made it to Disney! I get excited when I see the signs going into the world, even when they are in someone else's TR! I just love it.

So glad you got your room requests filled. Isn't that wonderful??? And you guys made good time getting into Epcot. So sorry Cooper could not ride TT. He seemed happy enough in the pictures, afterward, so that made me feel a little better for him. So glad you enjoyed Crush. He's always great, isn't he???

Looking forward to more of your adventures.

 

[Peter Pan Fan 22]

That's so cute that Cooper chose a mister of all things! But I know my nephew really enjoyed the one we had and it kept him busy for a long time.

30-40 mins for Nemo and friends is pretty crazy. Isn't it a continuously moving ride? I wonder why it takes that long.

 

[MHTeacher]

Awww, poor Cooper---That stinks about him not getting to ride TT. Of course, the miste-fan seemed to really help his spirits!
