Leaving the Disney-Hater at Home: A Dorky Disboutiquing Diser Sista Trip Report 6/4

[HeatherSue]

Loved it! Oh Luke and Tessa are so cute! Loved the video too!

If I would have known you didn't like looking at the aquarium, I wouldn't have insisted we spend 45 minutes in there! I like it because it is cool and usually quiet.

Why don't I think to take pictures of the spaceship earth cartoon? Cute!

The aquarium isn't boring when I'm there with you!

OH the boxing moves and fish pictures. I just love that fish one.

I got Dallas a quesadilla kids meal somewhere and it was rock hard. No one could even bit into it. What is up with the disney food!

We waited through the entire waiting area for the land ride. Oh wait, nevermind wrong trip. That was December!

What the aquarium part boring? I love that part of Nemo! I mean it isn't like I am dying to do it but I love just hanging and doing things like that (of course without millions of people near me). Now the Nemo part I do think is boring.

I love Tessa holding her nose!

I get the UMama tribute!

Your mom is the greatest! So calm about everything. Glad her card was there.

GROSS about the gum! I can't stand things like that! YUCK! BTW, I just cut up a banana for Dallas. ICK!

I kept looking at the picture of Leighanna going I KNOW I saw her in that dress! Now I know why! We met them not long after at the flagpole! Dallas also took right to Leighanna and they played like they had known each other for years.

We never can go back for naps. Dallas does just what Sawyer did and thus ruins the nap part! He won't dare go back to sleep after waking up after a quickie nap.

Uh oh, I don't like Sawyer's flushed cheeks!

Yay! Jeanne arrived! The big meet at McD's is about to happen. Aww, look at those kids.

I love that Luke kissed Tessa and that she told you! Can't wait for the next installment!

Yes, I hope she keeps telling me everything in the future!!

Ohh yeah very cool update!!! Your kids are so cute!!!

Your Mom does have a great attitude!!! If I lost my credit card I would have been freaking out.

I can't believe that guy on Soarin'!!! Good thing that Tessa didn't seem to notice!!!

Ewwww, gross chewed up gum on the seat. I hate that!!!

How cool that Tom spotted you guys. The girls look so cute!

Okay I think Tessa and Luke are so cute. I can't wait to see your pictures from their 1st date!!! LOL

They really do just love each other! Luke called Tessa on her birthday and sent her a bracelet. Tessa called him last night to thank him and they talked for a little while!

Love the history of Luke and Tessa! But didn't it start even earlier when Tessa was falling in love with every long-haired little boy on the disboutiquer thread? I can't believe how little Luke seems in the fish picture.

We've never seen Circle of Life, it may stay that way...Lily was finally big enough to ride Soarin' this year! It's Puddy/Kronk. I'm sure Tessa WAS the cutest thing that guy had ever seen. sorry about the filth-spewer! I hate that! There should be rules against that at Disney so filth-spewers can get kicked out!

I can't believe kids were running amok right IN the nemo sculpture garden thingy! It's so hard to convince your kids it's against the rules when everyone else is doing it!

I love your tribute to UtahMama! You need to facebook her the link so she'll get her butt over here and see it!

I'm glad you found your mom's credit card! I love how "concerned" she looked.

How could you walk around Disneyworld in those heels???

Leighanna and Tessa look so cute together in those pictures! Oops, Lily just saw Leighanna's puppet and remembered that my kids were the only kids that did NOT get puppets at the dismeet and now she is crying for a puppet. But she does like Leighanna's "beautiful crown".

I know, how could I not know there was a McDonald's at DTD?

I have a little video of the McDonald's meet, but I think it was lame because I didn't put it in my TR, but I'll send it to you.

I'll have to comment again after I show Luke, right now 1 kid on my lap is enough. That is totally Luke's happy goofy smile in the video.

You are too kind Heather!

Goodness my little Jayden can open her mouth wide!

That's cute to see both sides of the same hug! Your pictures sure turned out better than mine!

To everyone that has not met Heather in person, she is just as sweet, cute, and fun as you might expect! We would totally have fun living near each other. In fact, wouldn't it be fun just to go to lunch without kids?

Awww....you done made me blush!

Ohh those pictures are so cute!! I loved the video...though I must tell you that Taylor thought it was too short. Hahahaha....she was like "huh" what's next. Hahahaha.

That is so cool that you guys all got to meet!!!!

I know it was too short! I was trying to video the whole thing, but my darn camera kept goofing up!

Aceys_honey: I told Jeanne what Tessa was going to wear, but I was surprised when Luke matched her!!

 

[Hedy]

Those will be some seriously cute grandkids you'll have in about 20 years.

 

[maroo]

Oh my gosh!! Awesome!

I wish I had taken notes...Now I get to go back and read it again...

But Luke and Tessa...

Cursing man on Soarin...wow...that sure beats my flash photography man. And to ruin a ride that is so hard to get on. I wish a CM had fixed that problem!

You borrowing pics from the internet are completely cracking me up!! How did you find the pictures of the food.

So...do you really think Crush would call you out if you left? Now that would be funny!

Cool shark pics!!! Poor thing...that shark looks like it scared him!

You hanging around the pole and having no idea why...THAT is funny!

Your mom sounds so neat!!


Those ladies...and their shoes...GOSH...It isn't even Halloween?!

They met...at McDonalds...Hug, Hug, Hug... Priceless.



GREAT update!!!!! Love your TR's!!!!!

I can't wait to see how it turns out in 10 years with Tessa and Luke.

 

[teresajoy]

I'm pretty sure we saw that Circle of Life show once.., just once.... That sign brings back memories from our last trip!!

The baggie of food made me laugh!!!!

I get excited everytime I see Putty or Puddy come on that screen!!!

That is AWFUL about the guy swearing by you!!! How DARE these people do that! I would have been FURIOUS!

You should have told a CM, they should have let you have another ride with no wait for having to endure that!

Yep, our Mommy is pretty great!

That dessert looks really good! Too bad you didn't have it!

Oh that is so cool to read about what you were doing when you called me!!! I was missing you too!!!

I can't believe you took a picture of the bathroom!

Two grumpy CMs, but still doing pretty good!! What?? No flash on the Nemo ride?? woops..

Poor Heather!!! I'm sorry you were having potty issues!

Oh Heather it is SOOOO SOOOOO SOOOOOOO BORING!!!! I dread that place!!!

The picture of Sawyer with the shark reminds me of the picture of Sawyer with Prince Charming!!!!

I was thinking UTI. I take it it went away though?

I'm suprised a CM didn't tell those kids to get off of there!

Where is Mom's credit card!!! I can't believe none of you got a yummy ice cream sandwich! They are shaped like Mickey too! MMM, yummm...

Awww, Dumbo does look so cute!! I just love Dumbo!!!

I was just about to say that Lydia threw up the first time we gave her the Beverly. I was laughing so hard it was really hard to clean her up!!! Brian just kept saying how mean I was!!!

You UtahMamma tribute cracks me up!!! I bet Mom thought you were nuts!!!

I like your cute hangin round a pole pictures!


I was wondering why Mom looked so mad at you!! I see, she is "concerned"!!

Yeah!!! I'm glad you found Mom's card!

WHAT are those ladies wering at Epcot??? They look like they are ready for a night on the town!!! I think the nylons are worse than the heals as far as comfort goes!!!

Oh man, Corey would like to know why I'm laughing so hard!!! I'm reading your comments after the pictures of those ladies!!! Mistake Epcot for Rodeo Drive!!! LOL!


EWWWWW!!!! Playing with GUM!! EWWWW!!!!!

Show Sawyer that picture so he knows he has blue eyes!!! It's Tessa that has the red eyes!!!

Now WHY would you tell the CM if it was your gum!

Don't you love it when you meet someone as your getting after your kids!!!

Tessa and Leighanna look adorable!!!!!

Awww, sleepy Sawyer!!! I'm glad Mom had a hold of him so he didn't fall off the seat! What a good Grandma!

Were you too excited to sleep!!!!??!!!

I like Tessa and Sawyer's 0 picture!!

The thought of Sawyer trying to run up the inside of that 0 is making me laugh!!!

MORE cheerleaders!!!!??

I'm all excited and teary eyed seeing the picture of Jeanne and Co. walking into McDonald's!!!!! I'm so excited!!!

Aww, how sweet you put it to our song!!!

Are you saying that Sawyer threw up in the tray???? Poor kid.

Aww, so cute Luke and Tessa holding hands!

Luke has red eyes just like Sawyer does!!!

Laughing because Mike had to run to the virgin store!!!!

That was one of the first things Tessa told me when I talked to her on the phone the next day, about Luke kissing her!!! So sweet.

It sounds like you and Jeanne were having such a wonderful time together!!! I just wish I could have been there too!!!

 

[maroo]

Teresa...

I have never seen so many exclamation points in one place.

Of course...I only notice because I end up having to take mine OFF!!!!!

See...

 

[jham]

They really do just love each other! Luke called Tessa on her birthday and sent her a bracelet. Tessa called him last night to thank him and they talked for a little while!

Aceys_honey: I told Jeanne what Tessa was going to wear, but I was surprised when Luke matched her!!

You should've seen Luke when she called. He was playing webkinz--some game where he had to use the arrow keys to move around. I put the phone in his ear and when he heard her voice his fingers froze and hovered above the arrow keys unmoving for the whole conversation. I picked up just as the answering machine came on so I have the first part recorded. It was pretty cute.

Luke wanted to wear his Wall E shirt Heather made for him but it was lost in the laundry (don't worry, it has resurfaced) so I remembered what Tessa was wearing and whipped up a matchy shirt a day or two before we left.

Oh my gosh!! Awesome!


I can't wait to see how it turns out in 10 years with Tessa and Luke.

I hope in 10 years it is unchanged! And very long distant. Try 20!

Laughing because Mike had to run to the virgin store!!!!

It sounds like you and Jeanne were having such a wonderful time together!!! I just wish I could have been there too!!!

We missed you!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

So glad that i've always skipped that Circle of Life thing

WHAT was up with the dude on Soarin'? Or people in general at Disney forgetting that it's a FAMILY park. And frankly buddy...you weren't "almost kicking" anything!

Love all the pics of Tessa and Luke but the videos made it totally worth while

I think I forgot to say Hi to you and Jeanne too for awhile.

Woo Hoo...you are 1 short sleep away from meeting ME

 

[jenb1023]

The long-awaited Tessa and Luke meet - !

They and all of the kids are so cute in the pictures! I wonder what they will think of all of this in a few years.

It is great that Tessa tells you everything. Jordan (my dd) tells me everything too - I hope she feels that way forever. We have a talk every night snuggled in her bed with the lights out before she goes to sleep.

Poor Sawyer! Instead of drinking around the world the poor little guy seems to get sick around the world.

You guys needed Miss Cammie - she would have given that guy on Soarin a talking to. Though I am sure you would have to if you had caught up to him.

Your mom is so sweet and relaxed. My mom is awesome with her grandkids but is definitely not mellow. You guys are very lucky!

Great update! Looking forward to the next one!

 

[VBsHustla]

Great update, but I must say, I am absolutely appalled by your hatred of my favorite attraction!

That pic of your mom and Sawyer with the shark is hilarious! Also, I loved the pic of that bathroom. I recognized it instantly! My companions visit each and every bathroom they see, so I've probably had to wait outside that particular bathroom several hundred times.

-Laura (The Circle of Life: An Environmental Fable's #1 fan)

 

[VBsHustla]

I, for one, am appalled that my sister alleges that she's been to that bathroom several hundred times! (In reality, it's probably been several thousand.) I do feel your pain, though. The Land and the Seas are really far apart and there is no good restroom solution between the two!

But really, it sounds like you had a very lovely day in Epcot and got in all my favorite Future World attractions, including Figment, Nemo, Spaceship Earth, and Living with the Land.

-Jen

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Shame on you leaving you camera! But love the pumpkin picture you stole!

Prunes! Too funny!

See…never read anywhere that the movie was bad…we just decided we didn’t want to go. Good for us I guess?

Puddy…

What was up with that guy…do people really forget where they are that easy?

Thanks for the food pic…I’m really hungry now!

Really…if you are going to keep going to the potty…we may figure out you are related to the rest of my family!

Yes I love the old Imagination ride and song…I was not happy they changed it!!!

Yes, Tessa, Dumbo is very cute!

Okay…what were those women wearing? At Disney? Why? That is strange!

Okay sorry, but that is too funny! You meeting Tom at that very moment!!!

Nothing like a new friend to help put a kid in a good mood.

I love your mom!! I would love to have some rest time alone!

Ahhhh…young love!

 

[scottny]

great update and pics.

cute video of them hugging and meeting.

I would have just grabbed a spot somewhere outside to eat.

Can't wait for more.

 

[HeatherSue]

Those will be some seriously cute grandkids you'll have in about 20 years.

I must agree!

You borrowing pics from the internet are completely cracking me up!! How did you find the pictures of the food.

So...do you really think Crush would call you out if you left? Now that would be funny!

Your mom sounds so neat!!

I just searched for Sunshine Seasons pictures, and THERE was my sandwich!

Yes, I really think Crush would have called me out. He called out me, Teresa, and Mom last time for not raising our "fins".

She is!

I can't believe you took a picture of the bathroom!

I was thinking UTI. I take it it went away though?

Show Sawyer that picture so he knows he has blue eyes!!! It's Tessa that has the red eyes!!!

Are you saying that Sawyer threw up in the tray???? Poor kid.

Laughing because Mike had to run to the virgin store!!!!

I took a picture FROM the bathroom (from the inside of the stall, to be exact).

It went away, thankfully! I made sure I drank a lot of water that day, though.

He is still convinced that his eyes are red. The kid won't believe me!

Yes, Sawyer puked in the tray. He felt fine, though!

I guess Mike left his at home.

You should've seen Luke when she called. He was playing webkinz--some game where he had to use the arrow keys to move around. I put the phone in his ear and when he heard her voice his fingers froze and hovered above the arrow keys unmoving for the whole conversation. I picked up just as the answering machine came on so I have the first part recorded. It was pretty cute.

I hope in 10 years it is unchanged! And very long distant. Try 20!

We missed you!

That is so sweet about the phone call!! She had me re-enact the opening of the gift he sent her so we could get pictures.

I'm with you on the 10 year thing! Definitely wait at least 20!

So glad that i've always skipped that Circle of Life thing

WHAT was up with the dude on Soarin'? Or people in general at Disney forgetting that it's a FAMILY park. And frankly buddy...you weren't "almost kicking" anything!

I actually thought of Miss Cammie when that guy was swearing up a storm. She's why I had the courage to try and catch up with him.

I snuggle in bed with Tessa and have talks at night, too! It's one of my favorite parts of the whole day!

I'm glad you can sympathize with my bathroom dilemma! I thought there would be one right outside somewhere. Alas, there was not.

Shame on you leaving you camera! But love the pumpkin picture you stole!

Prunes! Too funny!

I love your mom!! I would love to have some rest time alone!

Ahhhh…young love!

Serioulsy, why did they change the Imagination ride? They sure didn't make it any better!

Right before I met Tom was one of very few times that I got irritated with Tessa on this trip. He had to come upon us at that exact moment. I'm still afraid that he thinks I'm an awful mother.

I just thought of something- what if those women would have sat in the gum?! Those looked like pretty expensive outfits!

I love my mom, too!! She is just the greatest!

great update and pics.

cute video of them hugging and meeting.

I would have just grabbed a spot somewhere outside to eat.

Can't wait for more.

Sure, now you tell us! We didn't think to go outside!

 

[Girldreamer02]

Love the toy story outfits!!! To cute! We like to eat at sunshine seasons too....although we didn't have the bathroom issues. Maybe you were the chosen one lol. The video of luke and tessa hugging is to stinkin' cute! Love it! Can't wait to hear more!

 

[DisneyMom5]

So, having re-read the section about leaving the Land...why didn't you go BACK into the Land to use the bathroom???

I think I've seen every bathroom in WDW. Some good, some bad. LOL

I think I've seen every bathroom in WDW. Some good, some bad. LOL

Because by the time I realized how dire my situation was, we were already outside and I thought it would be faster to walk to the nearest restroom than go back inside, navigate the crowds, and get down the stairs to the bathrooms. I was mistaken!

Silly girl.
Always remember, at WDW, a bathroom in the hand
is worth not peeing in the bushes!

 

[twob4him]

Now it shows up....anyways...see post below....I retyped it...

 

[twob4him]

Right before I met Tom was one of very few times that I got irritated with Tessa on this trip. He had to come upon us at that exact moment. I'm still afraid that he thinks I'm an awful mother.

OK I just posted this and it disappeared...but what I wanted to say was that you shouldn't confuse discipline with meaness! "Helping" your DD pull herself together is a good thing! All the rest of the disney goers appreciate it! Nothing like an undisciplined-whiny-control-seeking-tantruming child to put you off of your disney groove...and see, she was all better with Leighanna! So that is a GOOD THING....you are a wonderful mother...we all think and know so!!!


OK with that said,,,, you get the award for the hugest update ever with lots of wonderful pictures and all! Seriously...you and Teresa are the best tr writers!!! I love the whole thing! I laughed and cried and was just enjoying the whole thing! Luke and Tessa are just adorable! Glad you and Jeanne finally met! Can I say again how wonderful your mom is!!!!! So glad she got her credit card back...I would have freaked myself! I love the outfits too!!! Looking forward to more!

 

[NotSoEvilStepmother]

Hope you had a good Easter, Heather.







Oh, and bump.
