Good morning all! I have something to admit. I am the heaviest I have ever weighed in my life. Even when I was pregnant. I think I am using the Dis to avoid the gym as well. I have a gym membership, and I do not use it. I have ZERO motivation! You would think the pics from Disney that i look like baby beluga in would be enough..or the fact that I have fatty liver at age 28..or the fact that there is a history of heart disease in my family, or maybe just that I should be healthy to be around long enough to see grand kids!! But no... here I sit. Laziness?? I suppose so. But I actually like the gym..so why have I avoided it like the plague for the past 4 months?? ok, rant over.. but it had to be said.
I last left you off tired as heck, and couldn't remember exactly what happened! I soon realized that the reason I couldn't recall was because I wrote nada down, and had no pics! Upon further investigation aka looking at cell phone pics, I was able to remember that Kayla and I headed to the AWESOME CSR pool, while Jack and John took a quick snooze!
I'll spare you the phone pics of the pool, as I have MUCH better pics of it later on in the trip!!
When we were done swimming we ran back to the room to get ready to head back to the MK! Tonight we were meeting up with Kelly and her crew and having dinner at my beloved CRT! We had ressies at 5:30. By 4:45 we were on the road!!
When we got to MK we rushed to CRt and checked in. Kelly's momma was now with her too! We all got there and we were instantly able to take a pic, but Kelly's mom had to change Weston's diaper and put him in a costume. CRT seemed annoyed at this. Sorry.... take the next person in line for their pic first!!
Finally we were able to go up.. what a fiasco LOL. Since we were such a large group, we were able to get 2 pics. Well I wanted my pic to have the whole group of us in it. Took a while, but we got that shot! Then I wanted Kelly's fam to have their own shot... For some reason the photographer was annoyed at this! Which of course annoyed me! plus Kelly's mom and I were trying to get shots too! I mean for christ's sake, it was Lily's first time meeting a princess! first time for them eating in a castle! I wanted my pics!! and pics I got! You can tell that everyone was having a melt down in most of the pics LOL
Jack was soooo happy to see his "good night" in shining armore!
Trying to get those awesome shots!
We were called up for dinner right after this picture..fastest I have ever been called in that place!
Princess Lily walking up to our royal banquet:
We were seated in the main room at a very large table (score for being seated together!). Our servers name was Todd. Todd was not what you would expect at what should be a joyous fun filled expensive dinner. He was kind of rudeish and short with us..again seemed annoyed. Uhm.. we have kids dude, and we ARE in Disney World in the hot hot sun... As many of you know, this is my favorite meal! It is our first night in the MK traditional meal! Aside from Todd being not great, they got rid of the pretzel bread with honey mustard butter. No joke, I was ready to walk out now. I waited all year long for this tasty treat! I booked CRT 2x on this trip for that bread. Todd said it has been gone for over a year now... I quickly corrected him and said that is not possible since I was here one year ago today and there was PLENTY of that yummy goodness. He said ok, well whatever so a little after you left. UHM!!OH NO YOU DIDN"T! I was seriously pisssed and heart broken. But got over. Ok Jenn, you are in the MK with one of your most favorite friends and experiencing this with their kids for the first time..chillll. Ok, I am better now!
Todd brought us our drinks, and some plain ol' boring bread
and pretty soon the show started!
The show definitely put me back into my happy place! Watching baby Weston clapping and Kelly's mom sitting next to him singing along made my heart so so sooo happy! Kelly's mom is a Disney addict as well! Not super freak like us Disers, but much more than a normal Disney liker.. if that makes sense. Anyways, point is, this trip was a trip of dreams for her. Seeing her daughter with her kids in Disney was amazing for her. I could feel it in my own bones, and knew exactly how she felt! Brings tears to my eyes just typing it!
ok..sorry for the mush! and don't get mad, but i did not get pics of our dinners!! I did however write down what we all had lol!
Kids had salad , soup, fruit, chicken nugs,and butter pasta. For dessert raspberry sorbet and a sundae. They all seemed to like it, but were very excited to be with eac hother..so you know how that goes!
Kelly's mom had the spring rolls for an app and she said they were incredible! she had the veg pasta for her dinner. said it was very good, but salty. Also had raspberry sorbet for dessert, which she loved!
Kelly had the BLT salad as an app, and pork chop for dinner. She enjoyed both. Rspberry sorbet for dessrt, liked it.
Jeff had the crab corn chowder and lmab chops. Loved his food! Au gratin potatos were EXTREMELY salty though! Cream cheese buckle for dessert. Enjoyed that.
John had the crab corn chowder, and prime rib. I had a taste of his soup, it was delish, but not presented half as nice as last year! John alos enjoyed the prime rib, but that was a lso a bit salty.
I had the Blt salad which was incredible as last year. prime rib with a side of au gratin taters.. again, they were salty to the point of being inedible! I am sincerely hoping chef had a slip of the wrist that night! There is no way they tasted that and said mmm.. this is good! I had the creme brulee for dessert. It was decent.
Towards the end of dinner Todd warmed up to us and redeemed himself! Not enough to make me wanna go back a second time though! more on that later! Tradition has us at CRT for our first dinner, so I will give it one more shot next year.. they better fix it up! The food there is 2005 was the best I have ever had in my life..so it is depressing to see what it is turning into!
After dinner it was time to get our ride on!! I was sooo excited to go on rides with Kelly! I was even more excited to have our kids together going on the best rides ever! We decided to head to Tomorrowland!
Some pics along the way:
The first ride we went on was Buzz! I LOVE this ride! not as much as TSMM but I do love it! Although my thumbs usually kill after this ride LOL. This was also a walk on!!
After that we were all pumped and super excited! You could feel the disney love alll over! we were ecstatic as parents to be able to afford our kids this opportunity and ecstatic as friend to be with each other!
After this, we decided to do another first for my family!! The people mover.. I know..I said first.. I know.
look at this car full of coool dudes...
*Continued in next post....

I told Mom I'd take a video with my phone and send it to her!
