We transferred from a resort to AK to AKV before and had the same thing happen...the skies opened up. We were the only dry people. The people running out of the park were soaked. (I guess it was the same time of day...those afternoon showers are pretty dependable!)
I love MM's choice for her bday lunch!! Beaches and Cream has such an awesome atmosphere!
Poor Jeff--he's such a keeper!![]()
Those onion rings look delicious! I can't wait to order those in a few weeks!
I hope it was one of those fast August storms that moved on quickly! I don't want to hear that rain spoiled her birthday!
That is so wonderful! I bet you couldn't believe your eyes when you saw them! I'm so happy for you....now look at us with matching luggage, now we just have to co-ordinate a trip!Queen...I had to come on and share my excitement. You will never believe it!
While I was at Walmart today I found the Belle suitcase!!!
and the Tinkerbell carry on!!!
and the Mickey carry on for Lexi too.
I couldn't believe my luck, we were just talking about this yesterday.
I have never been to B&C...those sundaes look like yummy goodness.
Hmmm...maybe I should check it out.
Oh yes, those famous rain showers in August. Glad you found a dry place.
...I wish I was there to see Jeff jump at the thunder...

Oops! Double post. DIS is acting funny tonight.
Have sweet Disney Dreams!
I'm glad you had a great day catching up with family and lol I hate when other people have fresh tans from holidays as well!
I loved the theming of Beaches and Cream and OMGthe Kitchen Sink!!! Though I have to agree about dreaming of the No Way Jose as well!! Wow at the rain!

MM was a lucky girl to have such an amazing birthday, what better place to celebrate it at than Beaches and Cream...I'm dying to go here sometime, especially after seeing your pictures of it.
Too funny about Jeff and the thunder, what a funny a memory for you guys to have from this day
Looking forward to more![]()
So - I'm confused - did Jeff keep filling up a bowl with the kitchen sink. Holy crap there was a lot of ice cream on those tables. Unbelievable! That kitchen sink looks crazy. I've heard the No Way Jose is pretty darn good. I've really got to over to Beaches and Cream. I've used it as a parking excuse several times. Now I need to really eat there.
I can't believe the rain. OMG! That is one serious deluge.
Woah, that is truly the skies parting and the heavens dumping! That's some heavy rain.
Love Beaches and Cream. I was going to say that you guys had the seats we did in July, but then again the restaurant is completely tiny, so I guess it's not completely out of the question.
Jasmine is not alone in being afraid of the GMR. When I was younger, the Alien part just used to scare the bejesus out of me.![]()
I will never forget our first trip when Jasmine had just turned 6 and when this guy got into our vehicle she just about lost her mind! She didn't get the idea of actors and fake bullets...nope....screamed the rest of the ride!
As you can see again from this pic there was hardly anyone in TSM....
From TSM we headed to the Backlot Tour which was a great idea on a very hot August day! We love the Earful Tower! Doesn't Jeff look tired!
The Plane the plane....sorry, couldn't resist!
Then the thing MM had waited all summer for .....THE KITCHEN SINK! Her, SW, Geodoc and Jeff would share this. It contains peanuts stuff so I couldn't have any...they said they would get it without but I know how much they all love peanut sauce so I wasn't going to take that away from them.
Peg and Jasmine ordered their favorite to share the No Way Jose...apparently they dream of this dessert
I ordered the Milky Way sundae....boy was it yummy, didn't look like I even put a dent in it but what I had I sure enjoyed!
As we were leaving to catch the bus we wandered through the lobby and this was outside of Cape May....Jasmine thought it beautiful.

While we were waiting for the bus there was the biggest clap of thunder I have ever heard....guess who screamed like a girl and jumped on Jasmine! I'm telling you, we had laughed at Jeff on this trip, but that moment took the cake, the girls still talked about it for months after we were home! People at our bus stop and others also joined in the laughter!
That is a TORRENTIAL rain. It's so crazy when it rains like that! You THINK you'd just keep going - but you'd drown if you tried!
Looks like your daughter and her BF are really serious about each other - and he seems like he's a good sport! Funny that he screamed like a little girl when the thunder crashed!
Funny how that child isn't scarred for life considering all the "bad" things her mother made her do that first trip....thank goodness her aunt and uncle were there to make everything all better, cause Lord knows, her mother was all about "try it, you'll like it"
You should frame that picture. It's gotta be so rare that if you talk about it people won't believe you without proof.
That's an excellent idea!
Actually, I thought he looked like he was pouting.
"How come I gotta do what everyone else wants to do?"
Well...you know...it could have been that too....fear maybe....can't remember what lie I conjured up as we boarded this ride!
Welcome to... FANtasy Island!
I loved that show.....
Oh, boy. Ooohh, boy. I foresee multiple trips to Beaches n Cream in my future. Can you live on nothing but ice cream and sugar for a week?
Theres only one way to find out!!!!!
I believe you can and I also believe if there is one person who can prove it...it's you
Nice catch Jasmine! So did you take it home with you?
Like a lost puppy...."can I keep him....plllleeeaaassseee"
Nah. Im sure the big strong man was using his body to protect Jasmine and it was his warrior yell that you heard.
Yeah. Thats what it is.
Yup.
Ok....sure we can go with that! He was in touch with his warrior side everytime we were in the gift shop at AKL so I'm sure that must have been what it was!
Thanks for the chapter!![]()
Mmmm that Milky Way sundae looks delicious! But augh, that rain! I'd never let it ruin a vacation, but what an annoyance!!
Hi everyone!
I wanted to come on here today and let you all know that I have a little confession to makeRemember how I said "we were buying new furniture so there would be no trip in 2012'...I kinda told a little white lie! Yes, I bought new furniture, but the whole time I knew we would be going. You see, with Jasmine starting University in the fall I wanted to surprise her with one last mother/daughter trip...well I sorta let the cat out of the bag by accident so attached please see the link to our brand new PTR!!!! It explains everything!!
It was to be a SURPRISE...but I blew it a May 2012 PTR
Well that does it!! I need to plan another trip back to the world to go to Beaches and Cream!!!And... I want what Jasmine had!!!! Looks so good!!
Love the photos of that colorful icecream shop!!!
