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

I just got caught up. The pool shots were too cute, Henry looked like he was having so much fun with his daddy. It was great that you had such low wait times at MK. I loved the concentration on your face in the Buzz Lightyear picture. Thanks for sharing the "Henry behind Bars" pictures, he he such a big boy. The "BAAAA" story is too funny. It was great that Henry got in on it.
 
Actually the carousel picture is from the zoo. I wish we were at Kalahri though. LOL! It's been a few years since we've been there.
 
Fries no longer come with combo meals?? :faint: This is a travesty! Hurrah to that CM for getting you fries anyway. Sorry about the corn dog nuggets. You cracked me up with your speech trying to shake it off, "it's just food." :laughing:

As always, you got some really terrific pictures. I love the idea of taking a picture of H in the same spot every visit. Those pictures behind bars really tell the story!

I can't believe you were picked in laugh floor! Too funny. That is actually one of my fears. I don't think I would like it so much...

Great to know part of the story behind the TR title! :thumbsup2
 
LOL, love the story from the Laugh Floor! That's hilarious you got picked. Sounds like you had a good time at the show. :thumbsup2
 

Brook, yes we're going our MK days on the MVMCP nights. I'm excited that this combo worked so well for you guys! I love little to no wait times. :)

I LOVE that they picked you for Monster's Inc Laugh Floor. I bet you were a hoot! And how lovely that Henry was given grapes. Little twinges of magic like that just make me beam. :)

We leave in 18 days! In 19 days, I promise to have corn dog nuggets in your honor. Promise!
 
What other animal sounds are you good at?

Lordy, this is embarrassing...LOL! Dogs (small, normal sized, and large), horse, monkey, cat, cow.

Ridiculous story...once years ago in high school I was in my car with a friend who was laughing at me because of all the animal sounds I can do, and he wanted to hear them. So I started barking like a big dog, real deep and loud - a car next to us at a red light had a big dog in it that just went NUTS! :lmao: Oops!

Ya, it's my one of my stupid human tricks. Lovely, huh?

I get so serious and competitive with those games that keep score at WDW! On our Disneymoon picture I actually am concentrating so hard and working the laser gun, I have my tongue out.

I should post that as a tribute to Jordan. ;)

Actually the carousel picture is from the zoo. I wish we were at Kalahri though. LOL! It's been a few years since we've been there.

Ah! It reminds me of the one at the Kalahari with the animals! Does your zoo have a trick or treat thing for the kids? Ours does and I've heard its awesome! Too bad the zoo is 1.5 hours way from us.

Fries no longer come with combo meals?? :faint: This is a travesty! Hurrah to that CM for getting you fries anyway. Sorry about the corn dog nuggets. You cracked me up with your speech trying to shake it off, "it's just food." :laughing:

I was shocked at the no fries thing! Maybe it is just select meals/select locations? I'm not entirely sure. But the Anchors Aweigh did NOT unless you asked and were charged for them. :sad2: (not like they aren't already making money hand over fist when you charge $7+ for tuna fish!!! But, I digress....)

I was seriously BUMMED about missing my nuggets! I had a thought that I *might* be able to squeak them in before our Wishes Dessert party though....but, as I started out my TR - it didn't happen, no corn dog nuggets! December!

I feel so bad for the people who get picked that don't like it. One little girl covered her face, but slowly peeked between her fingers - it was adorable!

LOL, love the story from the Laugh Floor! That's hilarious you got picked. Sounds like you had a good time at the show. :thumbsup2

We really did! I didn't mind getting picked, it was kinda fun being put on the spot like that!

I hope that combo works well for you too! It was just awesome all day long!

:yay: for corn dog nuggets!!! I feel honored that you will think of me as you munch on them! 18 days, that has to feel so great!!!!!!! :dance3::dance3::dance3: (we entered the 30's today, 39 to go!)
 
I just realized I forgot to post some pictures that go with the last update--all the Monsters Inc pics!! :eek: Like I wouldn't take pictures for an ENTIRE attraction....HA!

So, here they are!

My Space Rangers. I find this picture hilarious. Joe is all serious and Henry just wants to push the button. :laughing:

For LL! Monsters Inc light fixture.

This was built right into the theming of the queue area, but it counted the people as we went through, we were #21 and #22! ;)

643657889_cRfWa-M.jpg

Waiting for the show to start

 
When I last left off, we had just seen Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor where the spotlight landed on me, but Henry truly stole it and had the crowd laughing with his goat impression. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! :goodvibes

Just before we had left on our trip, Joe and I had watched Swiss Family Robinson, which made us really want to explore the tree house, so we started in that direction.

On the way we spotted a Photopass photographer, we weren't doing Photopass this trip, but I wanted at least one family shot! I'm glad we stopped, I really like this pic!

As we entered into Adventureland,

643655570_ek6dw-M.jpg


I can't recall who said it first, but the words "I could use a snack" came from somewhere. And well, lo and behold, what beloved snack shack is in Adventureland?

Aloha Isle of course!

643655620_8MbUi-M.jpg


One Dole Whip float please!

This time I got it with vanilla/pineapple swirl ice cream. Divine!!!
643655489_UzBw3-M.jpg


It started to melt before the CM even set it on the counter. So I snapped a pic right then and there! :laughing:

Joe decided for a "small" Citrus Swirl

643655509_C2D5Q-M.jpg


Small! Riiiiiiiiiight! :rotfl: :goodvibes
He loved this!

Henry enjoyed them both. Naturally.

643656683_bKeHr-M.jpg

This picture cracks me up!

After our refreshing treats we started into the Tree House for some exploring

Having the movie fresh in our minds, we really enjoyed the detail of this!

We had a GREAT time in the Tree House! If we had never seen the movie, we wouldn't have understood - but after having seen the movie, it's a really neat walk through attraction.

Toward the bottom we let Henry zip around by himself....which he LOVED.

643655856_3ggiD-M.jpg


643655842_iM5rj-M.jpg


Back and forth, back and forth - a dozen times. He was shrieking in delight!

We had to literally pick him up and carry him out, which he did not like at all. :rotfl: He could have stayed in that Tree House all day long, it was definitely his favorite attraction of the trip!

On the way out...

Up next: If you are wearing white, don’t make the sound of a marble.
 
Great update, looks like Henry had a whale of a time in the Tree House, great pics :)

Your preview for your next installment sounds interesting :)
 
Hi Brook!

I was SO behind!! So glad to catch up during naptime!!!:yay: Great updates! Bummer about the corn dogs...and I know you aren't going to believe this...BUT I have never had these!!! So I don't know how much you missed out but so glad you have the upcoming trip so you can have them!!!! And woohoo for free grapes and fries, you guys always have that extra magic! Last trip was the cookie for H!! :wizard: Love all the pics you got that day.....love the old and new pics of H in front of zurg behind bars......awww!!!! Can't wait to see the next one!!! And I'm with you, very serious when it comes to Buzz....and what a GREAT score, you go girl!!!:thumbsup2 Love the treehouse pics...haven't been there since I was a kid....seemed like SO much work to take the boys/stroller/bags the last couple of trips....is it manageable?? The BAAAAAAAA story was great, loved it!! I was wondering where that came from!!! Too funny and cute!:cutie:

Looking forward to hearing more!!! And hoping I can stay up to date now!!;)
 
Our boys used to love the Tree house when they were little. DH and I haven't done it in years. Both of us being 50+, we just have NO DESIRE to climb up that tree anymore. Now, if it had an escalator, that would be a different story. :rotfl:

Love the pic of Henry after he obviously had a taste of mom and dad's dole whips.
 
Aww!! I love the pics of Henry in the Treehouse!! Too cute! I've seen the movie but a long, long, long time ago. I think I'll have to think about seeing it again!!

Your title for the next installment is intriguing!!!!
 
Then the Buddy Boil came on to read someone's mind. The spotlight was going around the theater and it stopped...

ON ME!

Whoa! :eek:

Okay!

He asked me to think of a number between 1 and 500 (or something along those lines-I was a bit shocked still that I was picked), and the CM shoved a mic in my face to tell everyone the number...(what is the point of that?)

So I whispered it.

"Five" (which is the number I always pick for these games!)

The Monster whispers back, "Thank you" :rotfl:

Which cracked everyone up. Including Henry, very loudly-into the microphone...which just made everyone laugh even more!

Then he made me put my hands on my head like antenna and bleat like a goat.

I remember thinking, "Did he just say like a goat? Dude, you don't know what you are in for." :rolleyes1

I'm not a very talented person. I can't sing worth a darn. I can't play any instrument. I can't even clap on beat.

But, I can make several, very life-like animal noises. :blush: :laughing:

A goat is my specialty. :rolleyes:

I clear my throat and do my best goat into the microphone, the crowd erupts. Henry claps and shrieks and then lets out a VERY loud "BAAAAAAAAA!" STRAIGHT into the microphone. :rotfl2:

The Monster pops his eyes open, and guesses some crazy number -and I tell him "Nope, sorry!" and the show is ended as he's yanked off stage.

Joe poked me and laughed - Henry continued to bleat like a sheep, very, very loudly for the rest of the show (which was only a couple more minutes). Everyone was laughing, so it wasn't very noticeable...but it continued, every minute or so, he'd let out, on top of his lungs, a big 'ol "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Hence, part of the trip report title. (the other part you are gonna have to wait for...)

This "BAAAAAAA!"'ing did not end. For the entire trip. And all the way home. We had a bleating child for about a week after the trip. And even about a week ago, he let one rip randomly. This is the only thing we can associate it back to.

Kids are crazy, aren't they?! I LOVE IT!! :goodvibes

Up next: Henry's favorite attraction of the trip!
:lmao: :rotfl: :worship: :rotfl2:

This had me rolling!

Loved the photos in both the recent updates. AWESOME job on the closeups and details!

Can't wait to hear how the "Juan" portion of the TR title came into being.
 
Love the Laugh Floor experience! :rotfl:
 
Hi Brook! I love all your updates! I, too, was rolling over your animal "skills"! :rotfl2: Especially when you said, Goat - does he know who he's talking to?! :rotfl:

Sorry again about your beloved Corn Dog! Oh well, there's always next time, right? I tried my first Anchors Aweigh sandwich on our last trip as well as a Dole Whip! They were both indeed heavenly! :lovestruc

Heather
 
The only reason I can think there are only two beds in the Treehouse is that one of the boys goes off the island at the end....:confused3

I am always terrified that I'm going to get picked in Monsters Inc and I totally don't want too. :rotfl2:

I'm loving all the light fixtures! :goodvibes
 
Oooh, Dole Whips!!! My fav! (Need a drool smilie here!)
