Juan says "BAAAA!" - 12/24 - Our last few Disney hours. COMPLETE

Continued from previous post

Pooh was a fun ride, as always.

Henry got a bit scared during the darker scenes and the really crazy vibrant one,

This even kinda freaks me out...

A typical TR pic...!

Overall he liked the ride and pointed out each and every Tigger.

Into the dump shop - very exciting for a little one....who wanted everything.

He, of course, found the Cars items.

And the candy!

Isn't this cute?

Part of the cash register desk. I believe it was MeMom who fairly recently posted a picture of this, commenting about how DISers are probably the only people alive who would notice this, and take a picture.

Then we passed over to Barnstormer.

This was the test. Would he ride it? Would he be tall enough?

I showed it to him, he nodded.

We went in.

A CM was blowing bubbles...maybe that is what Henry was nodding at...

We measured him...We were go for launch!

So, into the line we went-which there really wasn't one-we instantly boarded into a ride vehicle. As soon as Joe and Henry sat down the No's started.

The ride began...

I turned around to take pictures and all I could hear was "no, no, no, no" over and over again for the entire ride.

He kept wanting to bury himself down, so Joe had to kinda hold him the entire ride!

His little hand holding on for dear life!

No tears, a few wails, and a million and one "no"'s, (which honestly made me giggle a bit between the ride whipping me around, trying to snap pictures and Henry saying No as fast as he possibly could...!) but before we knew it, we were done!

As soon as we got off I asked Henry if he wanted more.

"No, no, no."



I was proud of him-his first coaster!!!

We'll see if it'll be a repeat or a no-go in December...

We figured we'd do something we know he'd love, and was much more tame next--the Walt Disney World Railroad. Oh yes, the choo-choo's that Henry has been watching on YouTube for months. It was finally time to ride Mickey Mouse's train!

We boarded at the Toontown station and the plan was to ride to Frontierland, almost a full loop. It was a wonderful ride, very relaxing for all of us...especially Henry.

"Choo-choo!"

Scoping out BLT

Main Street Station

Henry decided he was getting sleepy.

We arrived at Frontierland, grabbed FPs for BTMRR and were going to hit up the Jungle Cruise - but I quickly realized, Henry was fast asleep in his stroller.

Change of plans-skip JC for now and head back to CSR, it was nap time!

A few pictures on the way out. I love MK in it's fall decorations! Soooo pretty.

See ya real soon!

MEMOM, SCROLL QUICK - (trapped) MICKEY HEAD BALLOON PICTURE COMING UP!!

Must get balloons pic!

1st bus stop, gotta love that!

Up next: Our first ever mid-afternoon break

I love Henry's shirt, it's adorable.

I need your help!

Please go to this thread:

And let me know if you can think of any good captions for the Christmas card I am trying to make!

Awww - I think Barnstormer wore Henry out!!! Although he was really brave it seems. And even though that ride is for kids, it's a crazy coaster - we love it. I don't know if I would have even attempted it until I was much older than Henry

 

[Flossbolna]

Wow, what a wonderful update! It seems like you accomplished a lot during that morning at MK! So many rides for Henry and a dut-dut!! Even if it was a fake one!

So sorry that he did not enjoy the Barnstormer, but I can imagine that it is a bit scary for a two year old. I think it is cute how Henry seems to get into the rides much more now, do you think he will remember this trip in December when you are going to be back? Did he recognize things again during this past trip??

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Great update BE! Sorry Henry's first coaster did not turn out so well. BUT it could have been worse! (I think I traumatized poor Tahli at Six Flags on her first coaster!) It won't be too teriibly long until he's dragging you on Rock N Rollercoaster for the 9th time in a roll! My how they grow up quickly. I know how it is when the stop doing your favorite babyspeak. Write em all down, record them if you can and enjoy every moment. Can't wait to hear about your afternoon break!

 

[Connie96]

Love the update, Brook! Sounds like yall had a great MK day!

I love that you've included Henry-speak in your posts. We speak 2-yr-old at our house too. Erin says "horse" just fine, but what cracks me up is the word "dinosaur", otherwise pronounced "dyna-horse". I have to try really hard not to adopt that particular Erin-ism for myself.

Erin is already a ride FANATIC. We went to the local fair a couple weeks ago and she wanted to ride ALL of the carnival rides! "I ride diss one! I ride diss one!" And, she's crazy tall (38 inches at 2yr5mo), so she could ride lots of stuff. And, if they'd let her ride alone, she wanted to ride alone. She and I rode one teeny rollercoaster and she was just grinning and squealing the whole time. We've started thinking about taking her to "Holiday in the Park" at Six Flags in a couple months. I really want to take her on Barnstomer, but I don't know if we'll get there before they shut it down next year for the Fantasyland expansion. I hope that Henry is able to ride it in December and really ENJOY it before it disappears.

Looking forward to more!

Awww, poor Henry on Barnstormer - he looks so traumatized! I can just hear his little no, no, no's! I'm so glad he enjoyed everything else though, and you never know what he's going to like until you try it, right? Sounds like you had a great morning!

 

[PopArtGal]

Awe, that pic of you two on the train, with you looking at Henry so tenderly is great.

 

[tiggrbaby]

Such a cute update! Henry was such a brave lad!

 

[jordanyosh]

great MK pix! I love the one of the balloons and for some reason the one of you looking at BLT. I'm imagining what you were thinking as you were looking at it....

Great memories made with Henry on all those rides.

 

[moparop]

What a darling morning! Our first trip on Barnstormer went much like that too. It sounds like other than that, Henry had a great time, which I am sure made you and Joe have one as well.

 

[MeMom]

So many great pictures!

Henry held up a little better than Brooklynn did on Barnstormer. She finally decided this time she would try it again, but we never got to it, since she decided it during MNSSHP, and we had other things to do. Maybe in December.

Thanks for the balloon warning.

I bet Henry would love for Santa to bring him one of those Tomorrowland Speedway cars. They are a bit loud, but don't you know little boys are in heaven when they are driving them!

I completely agree with you on the fall decorations on Main Street - they add something special to the experience.

 

[jenseib]

Love the updates. Poor Henry on Barnstormer. But he may like it next trip. I swear claire changes her likes each trip.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I just love your mega updates! H is just so darn cute even while saying "nonononononono" on the coaster. Way to go on that, H -- you're braver than I am!

Hurrah for your first afternoon break!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I have NEVER noticed Gus Gus and Jaq on the sign for Cinderella's Carousel! And I call myself a DISer! Pfffft!

A wonderful update. Henry is as adorable as ever, especially while picturing those little no no no's on Barnstormer.

 

[jenjolt]

Another great update Brook!! Henry is too cute for words!! So glad he enjoyed his first ride on Dumbo and of course the carousel!!!! Loved the picture of him and the Sword in the Stone...too cute!!!!! Hopefully in time he will learn to love the Barnstormer!!!!

Love his hat!!! And his sleepy face!!

Can't wait for more!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Hmmm...if Henry were a little bit older you could tell him I feel his pain about the Barnstormer...I think that little Coaster packs a bit of a punch...
(I'm just older so instead of saying no, no...I scream...) In a year or two he'll love it and as I'm typing this I realize that it's going bye bye...

Really sweet photos-Glad Henry got into Dumbo, that Carousel is so pretty...I'm with you on the Pooh ride-so sweet but parts of it are a little...- Hefflehumps and Wuzzles well-scary when you're little...Love that shop that you get dumped out after Pooh......really cute stuff...

But he looks really content on the train......

I have four words for you-I see in your future...

Thomas the Tank Engine....

 

[princess&her4princes]

Whoa Brook, what an update!!!!!! Loved it and all the pics, but my fav was the one of you and Henry on the train ride looking at BLT, it just looked soo peaceful and calming after Henry's big trip on Barnstormer!! What a trooper that little man is!!! Too cute!

You spoiled us today...can't wait for more!!!!!
