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

[Brave teacher]

Those leap frog fountains are fun! When my DS was smaller that surprise spray did happen to him. I held him up as some water jumped from one fountain to the next so he could watch the water go over him, only I help him up too high and it hit him right on his little forehead! He didn't think it was as funny as I did, but it made for a great memory!

The boys love them so muc. They really have a lot of fun when we visit them. They just didn't want to get wet just yet. I think I would have peed my pants laughing if he would have had the surprise spray occur. It is an awesome meory to have.

After we explored Innoventions for a while, Bryan decided he wanted to use the FPs for Test Track. Madeline looked at me and told me to go. She would take the boys to sit on one of the benches in the walkway between Innoventions and Mousegears. They had a man bouncing the giant balloon balls bouncing the balls around with some kids, and the boys wanted to hop in. Bryan and I left them and made our way over to TT. Believe it or not, this was the first time we had ever ridden it together. We always swapped out with the kids.

After riding on TT, the boys wanted to ride Spaceship Earth. We headed over there to find a line...about 15 minutes. As we stood in line, Madeline decided to go on fanny pack watch. She believes they are completely offensive and was on a mission to see how many she could count. Both boys rode with Bryan. They love riding this.

By this time, it was getting close to our ADR time at COral Reef, so we headed over to the Seas to check in for dinner.

We weren't sitting for long when...

Sonny and Stacey were slightly late for our time, so we had a longer than normal wait time for our table. After a while, we were making our way over to our table.

We really liked Coral Reef. It was a pleasant surprise. So....time for some food porn.

Sam and Cooper had the kids pizza.

Bryan and Madeline had the NY strip. They really liked it. They both said they would get it again.

I LOVED my entree. I had the special - swordfish with mushroom and baby scallop risotto. I could have licked the plate. It was delicious!

For dessert, Bryan had the cheesecake. He loved this as well.

Madeline and I bth had the Bailey's mousse. Great, but rich...

As we left Coral Reef, the boys wanted to take some pictures with the Nemo picture spot.

At this time, we had a discussion about our evening plans. I was supposed to be heading to France at this time to a dismeet before Illuminations. We all looked at each other and knew that the only thing we wanted to do was go back to Kidani. We had been up since 5 AM, and we still had to unload our vehicles to bring our luggage up to the rooms. We decided to skip fireworks for the night, so that we could be well-rested for our day at SWW the following day. I wish I would have had a cell number for someone to let them know I couldn't make it. I felt so bad about it. It didn't help that Randy gave me such grief about missing it when I saw him the next day.

We did take a family picture on our way out though. I need to get out the PP CD to show you since I forgot to download one from that evening. However, I will give you one of Cooper and Maegan on our way out.

Awwww, Cooper must have been wiped out! At least he got a little nap in there before dinner. Speaking of which, dinner looks yummy-especially that steak! We've never eaten there before. Glad to hear a good review of it.

 

[MaryAz]

Great update. We missed you at the meet but understand. Glad I ran into you at AKV!

 

[Coach81]

LOL... sorry for giving you a hard time.. but I just had to.... I had to stick up for my fellow Dis'ers!!!!

Coral Reef was awesome.. we really liked it as well.. no doubt we'll be heading back there soon enough.

So what are the latest Disney plans for the Trahan's? Still planning for next Summer with a family trip?

I got inservices today and tomorrow for my wonderful options kids.. good news is.. I'm getting paid $15.00 per hour to attend! More money for March!!!

He was so tired. He slept through all of dinner. We had his food boxed, and he ate it as soon as we got into our room at Kidani.

Dinner was wonderful. Coral Reef gets such mixed reviews here on the Dis that I was kind of not expecting much of it. It was really delicious. We would definitely return.

 

[Brave teacher]

Thanks Mary! I knew yall would understand, but it just sucks that I wasn't able to show. I was so happy to be able to meet you and Leanne at the resort though.

I know. I expected it from you anyway.

Current plans...trying to move our ressie from AKV to VWL at 7 months. My sister called yesterday to discuss her options. We discussed some dining options during lunch yesterday. Not much yet...

Have fun...I'm heading to school today and tomorrow for a couple of hours to finish a few things to get ready, then we have our lovely meeting Thursday and Friday. Then, kids on Monday...let the insanity begin!

 

[Peter Pan Fan 22]

Glad to hear you liked Coral Reef! The food looks yummy!

Cooper knows how to do it right. You sleep at the restaurants so you don't miss any rides or fun park time.

 

[RachelNinja]

Oh yay! What a great experience to be able to ride it together for the first time! The first ride when I was there with Weird wasn't as fun because we did the single rider line since it was so crowded. We got FP to use later, and oh man, what a difference it made to be able to ride with him! It was so much fun!

 

[Believeinfairytales]

I loved your picture from TT! Too cute!

Dinner looks so delish. I could totally go for one of those steaks right about now. Isn't it so nice when the kids get impromptu naps? Makes for a much more pleasant day!

 

[Queila]

Hi! I am here too.

Finally caught up to your report. I haven't been to the boards much since we came back from our vacation but decided it was time.

I love the pictures you posted so far. That seemed to have been a great day at Epcot. Can't wait to read more.

It was very yummy! I was glad we picked this one for Epcot.

Let's just say this wouldn't be the last time Cooper sleeps at dinner.

It was great! We couldn't believe this ended up being our first TT together after all these years. I'm glad you got to ride with Weird. It is much different when you are the stranger in the car.

Thanks! Bryan asked for directions as to where to find the camera. He thinks it is so strange that we know where the cameras are located.

It was delish. We would definitely go to Coral Reef again. The nap was nice. It made for an easy dinner, but it was a tad bit too long, too late.

Hey! Glad you could make it over here. I have so much more to add! I do the same thing every once in a while. SOmetimes, you just need a break from the Dis.

 

[Brave teacher]

So, today was my official first day back to work. I am so tired now. I am not used to waking up at 5:30 anymore. I'll be back to normal in no time though.

Tonight was the class meeting for Cooper. He's so excited about going to "Sam's school" this year. I can't believe how big my baby is now. He is turning 4 at the end of the month. It seems like yesterday I was going to the hospital to have him.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Ummmmm, I could go for one of those NY strip steaks from the Coral Reef right now and it's only 9:53 in the morning!

Don't feel too bad about missing the Dis Meet. I almost skipped out on the one we had planned in May.
