Let's celebrate this "babymoon" GRAND style!! COMPLETED

~May 27, 2013 – The scenic route to the monorail~

We woke up around our usual time, 7:45 a.m. DH and Uncle had to be at the TTC by 9. They were headed over to do the Richard Petty Driving Experience!! (Which is why DH needed tennis shoes!) Of course, Little Guy was upset he wasn’t going with them, but we didn’t tell him what they were doing. Mom, Dad, and I took him over to Contempo Café for breakfast. I was starting to get sad because our last day was creeping up.

After breakfast, we headed down to the boat dock. Little Guy had been begging to ride on the boat to the MK, so we thought that was the perfect time to do it. We had to stop and take a tradition picture:



We were pretending to be Mickey:



You can’t tell, but we were laughing the whole time we were posing. I’m surprised Mom got such a good picture!

There’s our room! The very last one at the top with 4 balconies. The top one to the left of the big window was Uncle and Little Guy’s, below it was DH and I’s, top right was Mom and Dad’s, and bottom right was off the kitchen.





And here, we’re headed back to the main tower:



So funny story…I messed up being the DIS’er that I am. There is no longer a boat from the Contemporary to the MK! We were very sad! So, we promised Little Guy that we were going to ride on a boat the next day when we went to WL. So back to the main tower we headed. Really, we were taking the scenic route to the monorail! Ha!



I don’t know if you can tell, but there’s something sitting on the floor by our big window. That is Little Guy’s Lego head thing that holds all his legos. It was bright and we could see it perfect!

While we were talking, we got a text from DH. They were already finished and back at the TTC! I told him we were walking to the monorail, and he said they were about to get on the Monster’s University monorail, so they would ride it to the Contemporary and meet us. Perfect timing! So, we headed up to the monorail platform and waited for them. A monorail came before them, so we had to tell everyone to go by us. They looked at us weird, but whatever.







If you look closely, you can see them working outside the window. They were working on that patio area and the California Grill while we were there.

There’s DH and Uncle leaving the GF!



You get a good view of the MK bus stop construction in that picture!

Now, they’re leaving the MK and heading to us!



They’re here!!





DH said they were up towards the front, so when the doors opened, he stepped out so we could find them. We were so excited to finally be on the Monster’s monorail!

Little Guy really wanted to ride the train, so DH, Uncle, and I took him on that while Mom and Dad headed to PP to get us FP’s for 11:05-12:05. We ended up having such a good time on the train that we rode it from Main Street Station all the way around back to Main Street, and then rode it one more stop and got off at Frontierland!



Woody and Jessie were meeting people by Splash:







As we made it back to Frontierland, Mom texted to meet them at the Jungle Cruise, which was just a 20 minute wait.



Little Guy kept asking all about the ride the whole time we were in line. He thought this guy was funny…Mom and I did not!



I don’t think I’d be eating here:



We were on:



**Continued in next post**
 
**Continued from previous**













And by the time we got off the JC, it was time to use our Peter Pan FP’s! This is the only way I’ll ever ride PP again. That line just gets long and hot!



While it may be a classic, I think PP could use a re-vamp.

Another attraction that Little Guy hadn’t done yet was PhilharMagic, so we headed there next.



That whole FP area is a cluster!



He loved the show and laughed at the end when Donald was stuck. The rest of the day, he would reenact that part and say “Uh oh” like Donald.

The wait for lunch at BOG was way too long, so we decided to ride the People Mover and head back to BLT for lunch.





It was a pretty day, but the weather was starting to get really hot! The summer crowds were also starting to build up. We had lucked out the first few days of our trip!

As we headed down Main Street, I stopped to look at the new Bakery sign:



I know there’s a lot of mixed reviews and emotions about the new Bakery. While I am excited about Starbucks being there, I think I’ll miss the old Bakery once I see inside for the first time. I’ve seen pictures on here, but I want to see it for myself.

Once back at BLT, we ate lunch at Contempo Café. The CM cleaning tables was still working from when we were there at breakfast, and he stopped and talked to us. He joked how we just couldn’t get enough of him that we had to come back. He was a nice kid!

Since it was such a hot day, we decided to relax and let the guys swim. They headed to the room while Mom and I headed to the gift shop. I was on a mission to buy something I had my eye on the whole trip! Find out next update what it was!

~Up next: Who knew pizza was this exciting?!~
 
Girl, you don't look pregnant at all in that picture with LG posing in front of Mickey. Lucky!

AH! I love the MU monorail!!! Too bad that can't be transported to DS birthday party coming up since he's having a Monsters Inc party. I know, two different movies, but I don't care!

Haven't been on the JC at MK yet. Another one on our ever-growing list of must do's. In fact, I don't think we've even done the train at MK either :blush::blush:
 
LOVE the pic of you and LG in Mickey's ears - always a classic picture indeed!

I'm with you, I love PP but won't wait in standby for it!

HAHAHA on LG quoting Donald all day! :rotfl:
 

It looks like a great morning at the MK. I'm glad you got to ride the Monsters monorail and get Little Guy on some new to him attractions. I've got to ask though, how did the guys like the Richard Petty Experience? Did they do one of the ride along packages or did they do one of them where you actually drive the car?
 
I am so sorry that I haven’t been on! I have been very busy but I finally have the chance to come on.

The pictures you took were very cute! I ma so excited for you!

Love the MU monorail
 
What a great update! You look so cute in your pictures! Glad to see you in a few at Disney! It's tough being the photographer sometimes because then you aren't in as many pictures! Sorry the line at BOG was so long. I always love how excited Little Guy is, no matter what he's doing!

Haha, must've been the way my dress was laying. You should see me now!

Aw that would be perfect for the party!

You haven't done the JC or the train?! Better be riding those next month!

Sis and I started that traditional picture years ago. I hope they keep that Mickey there forever so we can continue taking pictures there!

Oh gosh, I didn't even say anything about that! They loved it, especially DH. They did the ride along, but some day I want to surprise DH with the one where he gets to drive.

Great update! :)

Thanks!

I am so sorry that I haven’t been on! I have been very busy but I finally have the chance to come on.

Glad you had a chance to catch up!

I know and then I never got my mom's pictures from the trip! I'm going to make sure we alternate being the photographer when we take our little one so we can both be in pictures with him.
 
The wedding and maternity pics were great.
Fun times at DHS. Glad you made it back in time for Fantasmic and the pics looked good.
I agree about Peter Pan.
Can’t wait to see what you buy.
 
Great update. Taking the train around MK is such a fun thing to do. One day I am going to stay at the Contemporary. How nice it must be to be so close to MK!
 
Hi everyone! I'm so sorry I haven't done an update lately. I was in the hospital overnight with contractions on the 16th and thought for sure he was coming! Ended up getting sent home. The contractions have not been as intense, but are still there. Since the baby is transverse, I am having a c section this Thursday, the 3rd! I promise to be back with a picture once we get home and get settled into a routine. I'll also continue with the TR, so don't think I abandoned it!
 
Wow! Thursday!?!? How exciting! I know all will go well :) please share a picture once you all get settled in :) We can't wait to "meet" him!!!
 
Baby will be here SO soon! I'm so excited for you and your sweet family! :goodvibes Wishing you a wonderful labor & delivery and speedy recovery! You're going to do GREAT!
 
Good luck with everything! Will be keeping you guys in my thoughts for a speedy and smooth delivery!

Can't wait for an update! Your little prince is almost here!
 
How exciting! I hope all goes well and you and DH enjoy the birth of your little boy :flower3:
