Hey Mom, Do I get to be the line leader again? A PTR (My TR has started! - 6/1)

[MaryAz]

Ooooh! WHat did yall do tonight?

Bryan and I liked being in the Grandstand section. It was close to the Carriage House and main pool. Also, it is the first bus stop on the route. The bus order is Grandstand, Carousel, Paddocks, Congress Park, SPrings. I know Randy and Alisa have stayed in the Springs area every time and really liked it there since you are right at the Carriage House & pool.

Early ADRs - take the bus...We never had a problem getting there on time.

We went to dinner, Barnes and Noble and Target. I had read that the Grandstand bus stop does not open until 11am??

Not unless they changed the bus situation in the last year. We were at that bus stop as early as 7:30 some mornings. There were always buses there.

Hi! I'm just joining in. I see you will be there when we will and in the same resort! We're staying in a standard view studio from May 17-28. We will also be in Epcot on the 22nd, and will be at Le Cellier at the same time-my ADR is 12:55. The video of Sam and Cooper looking for the room is so cute!

They were so excited to see Imagination Movers! When my younger brother gets up early on the weekends, that's normally what's on, so I've seen it quite a bit. It is a rather cute show.

The Grandstand bus to and from the Treehouses's doesn't open til 11am.

 

[Coach81]

Have fun on your date night-we have one tonight too!!

Any advice from you or Randy as to where to request at Saratoga Springs? And how do you get from there to early morning ADR's??

We the springs section!!! Close to everything! And the views are fantastic!!!

So, we had a great night with friends. SUshi was awesome like always.

Hot Tub Time Machine was absolutely HILARIOUS!!!!!! The soundtrack was awesome - 80's awesomeness! If youa re over 30, you will get every single joke. At one point, ALisa was laughing so hard she dropped her Hot Tamales. Gosh...I may have to go watch it again!

Yeah.. my wife lost her tamales on the show.. it was very, very funny.. and brought back some great memories!

Thanks for hopping on to read! Lots of us heading out to the world that week! We might see you around KV. We actually cancelled our Le Cellier for the 22nd. We are doing dinner at COral Reef instead. We had to cancel when my SIL and her family decided to join us.

They love the Movers. They are from New Orleans, so I remember them coming to the Civic Center down here for shows when Sam was younger.

I was getting ready to come post that one because I realized that was probably what she was talking about. I thought about this while grocery shopping.

 

[Brave teacher]

Need to do an update to my TR portion tonight. I am in the process of baking a pie for Maegan to bring to a soccer banquet tomorrow night.

 

[MaryAz]

Thanks for the bus info all!

 

[cbg1027]

LOL. Thanks for the tip! It has been difficult to teach Cooper what stand up straight means. He automatically goes on his toes. It's still a work in progress.

That is so funny and cute!

 

[Brave teacher]

No problem!

 

[Brave teacher]

I know! I laugh every time he does it.

So, I'm living on the edge tonight. No school this week, and I am posting a TR update on the DIS after 10PM.

When I last left us, we took the train from Toontown to the Frontierland station to meet up with the Boquets for a ride on Splash. We got there just a minute or two before they did. We still had a good 15 minutes before our FP return time, so we split up. Bryan, Randy, Chase, Zach, Bubba, and Sam all went for a ride on BTMRR since it was back up and running. If I am remembering correctly, the posted wait was less than 30 minutes. Alisa and I decided to bring Cooper over to ride Pirates. There was barely a wait, so we were on and off in a jiffy. We walked back over to Splash and sat next to the fence to watch the logs come down. Bryan and the other guys met up with us pretty quickly and then left again to ride Splash. It was Sam's first ride. He finally mustered up the courage to go down. I think it had something to do with Zach being with him.

As we waited, Cooper crawled onto my lap and took a nap. Sam ended up loving Splash. Well, we switched laps, and off ALisa and I were to ride SPlash without any of the guys. We are seriously outnumbered here, so we take any chance we can get. When we got back, Cooper was awake and hungry. LUNCHTIME!!!

We ended up eating with this guy.

I love me some COsmic Ray's.

After eating, the boys wanted to do a few more things before we headed back to the room. We went across the way to ride the Speedway - one of the boys' favorites.

I love getting whiplash from my 3yo driving!

Afterwards, we took in one last ride. We promised Sam a ride on Goofy, so back to Toontown we went.

We took the boys to look around one of the gift shops. Bryan has this policy that he must get the boys a souvenir from each park we got to each trip. It's never anything big, but the boys know they are going to get something before we leave.

BY this time, we were all pretty hot, and the boys were complaining about wanting to swim. We decided to head back to Kidani. We spent the rest of the afternoon swimming. It was so nice. This is why I love DVC. Were we upset that we didn't get to do somethings that we normally like to do? Nope. We'll be back there again soon. It wasn't even until we were on our way back home that we realized we never got to Philharmagic - one of the boys' favorite shows.

After swimming, we got ourselves all cleaned up and headed over to ESPN Club for dinner. Bryan loves some Macho Nachos, and I'm willing to bet that Randy's nmouth just started watering.

We got back to the room, and I think the boys were just slightly tired.

They were out by 9:00.

Next, the most magical DIsney day we have ever had!!!

 

[Brave teacher]

Just wanted to add...Check out that thumb Alicia. I don't know how I am going to get him to stop that. That is every time he goes to sleep. I feel your pain!

 

[wdwgirl03]

I love Cosmic Ray's. I remember when we did the Family Magic Tour several years ago one of the things we had to do was go in there and shout out to Sonny Eclipse. haha!

 

[Coach81]

Here are a few pictures to support her previous story.. taken with my waterproof camera:

Sorry for the blurred picture.. but I did the best I could:

If you look close you can see one of my pattened "thumbs up" pose to the camera

It was a great day, a lot of fun!!!

 

[cinderella crazy]

I have a trick that might help out some. Being a vertically challenged person I too have had issues with getting on rides. My mom always told me to stand up straight but I discovered that taking in a deep breath and holding it can actually give you a little height. It makes sure that you don't slouch at all! It might work to get that little bit of extra height. I still do it now! I can hit a full 4 ft, 11.75 inches by using my method

Lol! I'm laughing because as I read this I found myself taking a deep breath in and holding it. Maybe it made me 5' 9" 1/2 instead of 5' 9". I'll have to remember to get Lauren to do that when she's being measured. Thanks!

So, we had a great night with friends. SUshi was awesome like always.

Hot Tub Time Machine was absolutely HILARIOUS!!!!!! The soundtrack was awesome - 80's awesomeness! If youa re over 30, you will get every single joke. At one point, ALisa was laughing so hard she dropped her Hot Tamales. Gosh...I may have to go watch it again!

LOL! I can totally relate to Alisa dropping he food. I'm the person at the movies that people look at because of my laugh. Let's just say I don't laugh quietly.

Just wanted to add...Check out that thumb Alicia. I don't know how I am going to get him to stop that. That is every time he goes to sleep. I feel your pain!

Glad to know someone understands my dilemma! Lauren's usually either sucking her thumb or snoring. It's going to be so much fun sleeping with her in WDW!

Oh yum! Cosmic Rays! Now I'm wanting a hamburger, and carrot cake, and diet coke, and fries, and...Oh my. Can we go now?

Sounds like fun! I must eat at Cosmic Ray's when we are in the MK.

I am far from a quiet laugher. Gosh I am so loud, but I have never dropped my candy.

Well, Cooper used to snore. He doesn't anymore. He stopped after the surgery. He actually sleeps with his mouth closed now. Well, after the thumb drops out of his mouth.

I know. I love getting myself a cheeseburger over there, and I think about it everytime I think of Cosmic Ray's. So YUMMY! We'll be there very soon. We're almost to the point of being able to say we are going NEXT MONTH!
