My mind a little foggy...read half update before dinner about 2 hrs ago and now finally reading rest......

Love Minnie' House. I wish Mickey was an interactive as his was.

1900 Park Fare looks like a blast. We are doing that for dinner this trip and so excited

That cruise looked like a blast. How neat you got to see water parade

I know I am missing a ton, but all in all, sounds like an awesome day

Since I have off tonight and I am falling behind on my TR, I figured I would do another update! Woot! Sadly, the vacation is coming close to the end though

Sleeping in feels great! OF COURSE, my body was filled with excitement and I didn't sleep as great as I had hoped! Today we were having a later breakfast at Chef Mickey's! 9:35 to be exact! John was thrilled to not have to wake up until 8:30!

We got there right on time and were given a buzzer. We also got our group photo taken instantly! It looked a lot nicer this year than it did last year! Last year it was still under construction! Jack for some reason was in a mood ;/ Which is never fun! Prolly cause he was starving!

Then we were seated, and all was right in the world!

This is one of our fav breakfasts! see

Yay, I gave you some food porn! I think I will take more food pics next year.. at least to sample for you guys!

As usual, the characters here were great! It's always a fun breakfast! Also, apparently while I was gone, jack said to everyone, I'll be righttttt back..and then hopped out of his high chair and ran after a character! Sophia thought this was the funniest thing ever

After breakfast we all decided that we would go to DTD! But once we got there John insisted that he go to Epcot, so he could look for a fez, for Jack's halloween costume. He was on a misssssion! SO, I told him ok, you take Jack and have a boys day, and I'll stay with Kayla and have a girls day!

I have NO pics of DTD, since John had the camera..although I have no Epcot pics either..so I may have to rely on Sophia's pics if she took any! Basically all we did was damage lol. Lots of fun shopping! and then lunch at Earls..yeah I know we had breakfast like 3 or 4 hours ago, but it's Earls! Again, it was the best meal ever! I LOVEEE that place!


After that I wanted to get back to the resort, cause Kayla just wanted to swim! She is obsessed with swimming now! But since Sophia was driiving us back to the resort, we had another stop! She had a crap load of stuff to send back home via UPS! Kayla and I waited in the car while she took care of that! It took foreverrrrr lol. Apparently the person working wasn't quite bright. After that we were on our way back to CSR! John had already gotten back over an hour ago, and was swimming with Jack! I am glad that they got to enjoy some father/son alone time

Hey guys, we're hereeee!!

Lil' man was stoked to see me!

We all absolutely adored this pool! and can not wait to get back there! The slide was awesomeeeee!

then I decided I would do the typical CSR pool photo shoot!

*Continued in next post....

 

[inkedupmomma]

I tried to get as many cool pics as I could there, but John was paranoid that I would drop the DSLR on accident..to be honest, I was too! I would have never heard the end of that! and I would have had a hugeeee sad!

John took some pics too while he ate the sandwich I brought him from Earls

These kids absolutely LOVEDDDD swimming this year! which made me super happy! I loveee swimming as well! Jack has always liked it, but it wasn't until recently that Kayla totally fell in love with it!

After swimming for a bit, it was time to go back to our room and get ready for MNSSHP! I forgot to mention earlier, we canceled our 2nd CRT ressie, due to the poor service and quality of food earlier in the week! So tonight we were going to try Counter Service...yep, I said it, counter service..me.. I was trying it out for the 1st time since 2005 (earls totally does NOT count!)

I'm going to break here for 10 mins to down some english muffin pizzas for dinner, but then I'll be back on!

*Up next- MNSSHP and my first CS since 2005!

I adored it!
I know I am missing a ton, but all in all, sounds like an awesome day

hey, I'm just happy to have readers LOL!

 

[inkedupmomma]

Ok, since I have so many MNSSHP pics, i will wait to start my next update when I have the kids in bed safe and sound and not bugging me

 

[inkedupmomma]

Sneak peek! Kayla and Jack as Jasmine and Aladdin on their Magic Carpet that daddy made

 

[KatMark]

Awesome updates...as always. Love the pics at the Mayan Temple at the Dig Site pool--great poses--your kids are so photogentic. And love the Magic Carpet!

 

[tinkgurl]

Aw Chef Mickey's! OMG, we sat at the same table as you on our 2007 trip!

That seriously looks like a fun time swimming.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Hey girlie.........awesome updates!

We were SO HAPPY that you guys were with us for the photo shoot AND the cruise. Honestly, I don't think that I would have done it if you guys weren't going to come with us. I sorta wanted to share the magic, ya know?

I've decided that Disney is soooooo much more fun with friends and family. Joe and I get to go a lot on our own but honestly, I so love going with friends and family. It's such a different experience.

If you could have seen Joe's face when Jack said "I'll be right back." OMG, it was HI-larious. In fact, it is the "line of the trip." We have one each year. Last year's gem...."what's that noise? OMG, some day I will tell you that story!

And holy crap, I look like a frickin polar bear .... I have gained so much dang weight! AND, that one picture of me in the boat with Joe........OMG, you posted that! I look drunk or something!

Anywoo....loved the updates and so sorry about the wait when we were at UPS....stupid people took FOREVER! Although, I did send more than 100 pounds of crap home!

I will update my TR tomorrow I hope so that I can catch up to you...Ahhhh, our trips are almost over!

 

[Trentmom]

Love Chef Mickeys.

Looks like kids had a blast there


CSR pool looks awesome. I so want to go there

Love the poses by the pool


That magic carpet is awesome

 

[praisehisname]

The Wishes cruise looks really nice; that's awesome that you guys got to do that! Breakfast at Chef Mickey's is the best! We've had breakfast and dinner there, and breakfast is definitely better. Although, I am partial to breakfast in general...

The pool at CSR looks amazing! I love waterslides and that one looks so fun!

Wow, what a great job on the costumes/carpet for Kayla and Jack!

well thank you again! but I agree, things were so much more fun in a group setting! especially since you didn't have annoying loud mouthed kids of your own

I've decided that Disney is soooooo much more fun with friends and family. Joe and I get to go a lot on our own but honestly, I so love going with friends and family. It's such a different experience.
haha.. i wrote my response before i read this, so yes i totally agree! I look forward to seeing how Matt and my kids interact next year!

If you could have seen Joe's face when Jack said "I'll be right back." OMG, it was HI-larious. In fact, it is the "line of the trip." We have one each year. Last year's gem...."what's that noise? OMG, some day I will tell you that story!
i am looking forward to it! and Jack is good for those kind of lines! his new one is, wakey wakey eggs and bakey! or wakey wakey sleeping beauty lmfao!

And holy crap, I look like a frickin polar bear .... I have gained so much dang weight! AND, that one picture of me in the boat with Joe........OMG, you posted that! I look drunk or something!
HEY, you posted the same pic on your TR, so I thought I could too! It's the only one I have which is weird.. i thought I took a few! and lmfao at polar bear, who says that!

Anywoo....loved the updates and so sorry about the wait when we were at UPS....stupid people took FOREVER! Although, I did send more than 100 pounds of crap home!

[AlohaPolynesian]

Ahh sorry I'm behind. That bug in Minnie's house grossed me out!! I can't do bugs AT ALL! You also got a really cute prince at 1900 PF!!!! I might have to go there now LOL! When I ate there we had a cute one too but so many people post pictures and the prince is just NOT cute.

Wishes cruise looks awesome. You got some amazing pictures of the fireworks and that is awesome that they piped in the music.

I can't wait to hear about the Halloween party...the carpet looks AMAZING! GO JOHN!!

He will be stoked to hear he got the Disboard member approval!

 

[HilJoy14]

Wow - bunches of great pictures of ALL of you with the characters at breakfast! Your kids are just so cute! Is that cheesy potato dish on one of the plates the same thing they serve at Akershus? I love that stuff, but I didn't know they served it elsewhere.

The pyramid looks so big in those shots with your kids! Are people allowed to climb higher? Or are the logs (vines?) across supposed to discourage that?

 

[swankybeth]

Awesome updates! I loved all of the photo shoot pics, they came out great. Loved reading about the surprise Wishes cruise. That cake was gorgeous, I adore the silver Mickeys on it.

they serve some form of cheesey potato thing at most breakfast buffets! I also LOVE it!

only up to where the loggy/viney things are. I would imagine it would be really slippery and stuff..not law suit friendly LOL
