I'm in my MIDDLE YEARS?

I'm trying to figure out if that was meant as an insult or not.

I know...we all resemble that remark! The middle years...past puberty, pre-menopause (at least for me )

Cute photos, the wand looks quite smart I didn't think they'd be as big as that!

I am not about to get points on my own trip report....I'm leaving the "big wand" comment alone...

So after our fantastic breakfast we headed downstairs, loaded my son into the stroller and prepared for the Dumbo Dash. The CM holding us in the castle was a bit of a crumudgen. She wouldn't let us out....second near riot of the day. Finally, the crowd just kind of took over and pushed their way out. We ran over to Dumbo and went into the line.

Now, I try to teach my kids to follow rule. I believe in being mannerly and respectful, but I almost punched a lady in the Dumbo line. We went in and (of course) there's no line. So we snake our way in and this lady and her daughter duck under the ropes and jump up to the front. My kids go to climb under the ropes and I said (plenty loud for her to hear me) "No, we follow the rules like we are supposed to, we are not rude".

Well, at least God was watching, because when we got to the front, the CM somehow managed to "forget" to give her a ticket for the next loading of the ride...she had to wait for the next ride anyway... I will admit to saying to her "gotta love Karma huh". I know...not nice.

You go Girl!!! I would have done the same thing.

Yes, Karma will always get you in the end.....

So after the Dumbo Debacle we headed over for one last ride on Peter Pan. Then we went over to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. DD and I got in line…less than five minutes 'til we were seated in the front car. We got off and DH took her to do the ride again…that time it took about 15 minutes. After BTMR, we all went over and rode Pirates again (LOVE that ride!). Then we caught the Pirate Tutorial again…wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! We ran into Briarmom at the tutorial…her son was picked as the main audience volunteers…he was beaming!

I had both Captain Jack and the mate flirting with me…. I even got a "chin chuck" from Jack. DD joined in the final pledge with the other kids…I'll post a picture at the end of this update.

After the tutorial, we all went over and got Dole Whips. DS was starting to get cranky, so I took him to the baby station to buy a pacifier…hey; I'm not above a good baby plug to have a good day! DD watched the show while we were getting the plug. After the show, we all went back to Tomorrowland and grabbed fast passes for Buzz Lightyear. We went on the TTA again and then saw the Comedy Laugh Factory…it was cute. We caught a last ride on Buzz and then went for lunch at Cosmic Ray's. This was our commando day, so after lunch we went to catch the monorail over to Magic Kingdom.

To be continued…..


At the pirate tutorial...

DS with a duck...

DS liked his lunch...

I wish my kids would have let me plug them when they were little. They would never take one. I think it's because you are supposed to wait so long to introduce one when you're breastfeeding. By that point they think you are the pacifier and want to nurse all the time.

I'm wondering if my kids will even want to watch the pirate tutorial. Maybe after a spin on POTC?

My son still wears his pirate hat every day...he loved it....DD loved Jack (a girl after my own heart)

 

[DisneyJo]

Your DD looks so sweet in her pirate ears and does your DS like apple sauce?

 

[shellynn24]

I love reading TR's! I rarely post, I just lurk, but I loved yours, your kids are darling.

 

[pooksma]

Karma-Look what it did for Danny and Oswald!

Great pics. I'd fancy me a pirate too if I didn't fall into the "post-puberty/pre-menopausal catgory" and I'm not even a middle years kinda gal!

 

[Parla]

I can't tell you how many times DD has done something particularly rude or mean and then turned around and fell down or run into something. Every time I will either say, "That's called Karma sweetie." or I will sing, "Instant Karma's gonna get you!"

Hey Lara!!

sorry I have been neglecting your TR but I just catched up and I LOVE it!!

our Jack looked totally different than yours when we went to DL.. my cousin (aka Jack LOVER along with me) swore he was hotter than the real jack but man it was close.. and we had this HOTTY HOT HOT pirate singing in a band type thing and he was flirting with me after they sang.. man what I would have given to take him home.. good thing I took lots of pics! I would post them here but I dont wanna hiJACK your TR.. oh man am I a riot?!?!

i wish there was a pirate tutorial at DL.. we have this princess fantisy (I know how to spell that but it isnt coming to me! ) Faire which I imagine is like the Pirate thing with princesses.. we didnt go tho.. we were going to just so I could meet Belle but I got to meet her before we were going to go to we decided not to!

I was going to get the pirate Minnie hat that your DD got but I decided on the pink princess ears with the tiara instead... cousin that I mentioned above got the guys version of the pirate ears hat and thats what Jack signed for her... she was in heaven!! my other cousin got the same hat your DS is wearing!!

ok I will stop taking over now!!


oh one last thing.. I LOVE how your DD is hugging the characters in all the pics!! its sooo cute!!

[WDW Poly Princess]

Just now getting caught up!

First off, I love the surprise video! Your daughter reminds me exactly of me!

Can't wait to hear about the rest of the trip!

 

[LaraK]

So on the monorail...DS fell asleep and DD rode upfront...


(Don't want you all to think I'm a slacker for not adding to my trip report )

I just found this TR today and it reminds me of the trip we took in Oct 2005. Our girls were 20 mo. and 4 1/2 then and we didn't tell them where we were going either. Our oldest was already reading and was still totally clueless. At first she thought we were going out to breakfast. Then, we got to the airport and she still thought we were flying somewhere to go out for breakfast! We landed in Orlando, saw all the Disney stuff all over the place and she still didn't get it. We rented a car and stopped for lunch on the way and she didn't realize where we were until we drove under the arches. By that point, the baby had fallen asleep in the car and didn't really care where we were, but I have a great picture of the oldest when she realized where we were going. It's priceless.
