"Look at those Chompers!!" A January 2010 AKL DxDP TR...FINAL Update: 6/12 Day 8!

[Lovemy3babes]

Great update! The group photo of all of you is really nice.

 

[praisehisname]

Great updates and pictures!

How exciting that you get to go back for Christmas!!! I can't wait til you start your PTR!

 

[gellybean]

We will be trying Boma but for Breakfast...looking forward to checking out AKL! Oh! and picking up some Zebra Domes!
That's too funny about the 'talkative lady' just jumping in your DHs seat!
Jack Jacks cupcake pics!!
Can't wait to read more!

Boma breakast is YUMMY!! *drool* Want to go back NOW! You'll love exploring AKL and picking up Zebra Domes = wonderful plan!!

That lady was a little nuts and drunk to boot. She just made herself at home! Left her poor mother sitting at their table by herself.

More Jack Jack food pics to come!!

I would have been like you - feeling bad that MIL was in the room with the kids while the rest of you were enjoying a drink in the lounge, glad you were able to find a solution that worked for everyone!

I love the pic of Dash's excited face - I think he truely was that time! And Jack-Jack's cupcake pictures are great, so stinkin' cute!

How odd that that woman decided it was ok to just take a seat at your table, I mean I'm all for being friendly, but that's just over the top.

Looking forward to your Epcot day!

Glad I found a solution too! Why I didn't think of it sooner, I don't know.

That lady joining us was ODD!!

Epcot day pics are uploading as I type. Will get it done before I leave town for Mother's Day!

Mmmm, yummy Boma! I remember really liking the olive hummus too! I also remember liking the little chocolate mousse cups more than zebra domes...yum!

Crazy that the lady sat down at your table with you! Maybe she thought she was at a Biergarten-seating-style restaurant?

Although it was short, looks like you had a good time with the SIL & BIL.

It's funny to read about a day where we were at WDW too...I keep thinking of what we were doing at the time. Like when you said you heard thunder, I'm thinking, "That's probably when we showed up at MK w/o umbrellas!"

Looking forward to hearing about your day in Epcot. We were at MK that next day and found it to be pretty crowded during the daytime.

Great update!

I think I liked the little mousse cups too. Were they kinda mocha flavored?? The zebra domes off the buffet were a bit soggy to me. More so than Mara's were even.

I don't think the crazy lady thought anything much less that she was somewhere with group seating.

It was good time with SIL and BIL. Just wish we had more time when we do get together twice a year.

It is crazy to read about days when we were both there!!

Working on Epcot Day soon!

Great update! The group photo of all of you is really nice.

Awww thanks! One of these days we'll get a group shot that's not around a dinner table.

Great updates and pictures!

How exciting that you get to go back for Christmas!!! I can't wait til you start your PTR!

I can't wait to start my PTR either. Love planning!! Gotta get this puppy finished!!




I am uploading, and resizing pics now for the next update. Will try to get it out before Friday!! Leaving for my mom's on Friday. She is heading to Disney next Tuesday with a friend of hers. She is buying an AP and I already switched her code for this upcoming trip to the AP discount. Saved them an additional 150 bucks, nearly paid for her AP and now we'll have it for an AP discount in December. And if she doesn't buy an AP this trip, her room will bounce back to rack rate. MUAHAHAHA! So I guaranteed that she'll have to buy the AP, making sure we'll get to go in December. I'm so sneeky!

Isn't the ADR window back to 6 months?? It'll be here before I know it. Mom and Sis aren't big sit down restaurant peeps but I'm hoping to plan one or two table service meals!

Already renewed my TGM! Will be excited when his planning calendars extend to December!!

Thanks for reading and hanging in there everyone!!!

I last left you all as we turned into bed after saying goodbye to my SIL and BIL.

We woke up around 9:30 with a wake up call and let the boys sleep while we got ready.

The boys were OUT

Dash woke up and didn't even remember that we had forgotten the tooth again. I guess when we're in Disney the tooth(Tink??) fairy just doesn't sit as high on the priority list as she does normally.

The boys, MIL, and Mr. I all ate raisin bread in the room to get them going. MIL had brought it from home. I didn't eat anything. Knew I had a lot of things I wanted to eat during the day. I was saving room.

We headed down to the lobby to buy MIL's one day pass and that's when we realized Deluxe credits don't differ between kids meals and adult meals. Wish I'd known that going in. All those counter server meals (all two of them?? ) would have been adult meals. We headed to the bus around 10:30 ish.

Waiting for the bus

When we arrived at Epcot, the crowds were definitely heavier than they'd been all week.

Epcot

I decided with the addtion of the people and it being our 6th day and with MIL to keep up with I'd get Dash a stroller. He still fits. Kinda. It made it easier to keep up with him and was one less thing for me to worry about.

As we made our way into the park I took the following pic to show the difference in the crowd level.

Queue for Spaceship Earth on Sunday

For reference purposes:

Queue from Thursday, same time. Big difference!

The wait for Soarin was already 50 mins and the return FP time was 5:30 and that was according to the kiosk in the middle of Innoventions which is normally a little behind time. So we didn't even bother with Soarin. BUT I noticed that Test Track was open!! It wasn't supposed to reopen til Monday (the next day). So we wandered over to get some Fast Passes. On the way through Innoventions, I saw a few janitors moving some trash cans around. Since I knew what this was, I asked Mr. I and MIL to sit on the bench with me and wait a minute. They looked at me like I was crazy. But soon enough we were treated to a show. We really enjoyed it!! Jack-Jack and Dash were both mesmerized.

Jamminators!

We stopped off for a bathroom break and I left everyone by the family restroom while I went to get our Fast Passes. Our return time was for 2pm. Perfect! Our lunch ressie was for 12:30 so we'd have time to eat and walk around WS before coming back to ride.

We headed to WS via the short cut across behind Mouse Gears and then via the Canada side. I think I checked us in at 12:00 straight up and people were doing walk ins so we got in no problem.

Snapped a pic of MIL, Mr. I and Jack-Jack playing in the water while I checked us in.

Our server was a bit new and not too familiar with all the ins and outs of the Dining Plan. We all ordered aps, entree and dessert but MIL wasn't on the dining plan. And yes we told our server at the beginning of the meal. Well, the server took a credit off for her meal anyway. I didn't figure this out til later that night though. I'm still not 100% what happened cus both MIL and Mr. I signed their checks and MIL had paid with a credit card.

I had the french onion soup (yum!) then mac n cheese (ok) and the creme brulee (yum). Dash finished my soup

French Onion thief!

and helped me eat some mac n cheese. I know we ordered Dash something off the child's menu but I can't remember what. Jack-Jack shared off of everyone's plate. We had several refills of the bread. MIL and Mr. I had the salmon for their entree and both raved over it. MIL got the soup as well but Mr. I was adventerous and tried the escargot. He liked it ok but said he probably wouldn't order it again. I had it when I was 9 and said no way to trying it again. I kept waiting for Remy to come to the table, the main reason I'd booked this lunch, but he never showed. I never saw the cart. By the time we got our dessert and they sang happy birthday to the boys,

I think Jack-Jack had had enough of the singing bit. I love his facial expression in this pic.

Dash on the other hand couldn't get enough


it was 1:30. We had been there an hour and half. I wanted to catch the Voices of Liberty at 1:45 so I took Dash and left Jack-Jack with MIL and Mr. I to pay out. (maybe why the check got messed up?? )

Dash and I made it to the Voices of Liberty in time.

WONDERFUL! I swear I remember them singing more songs than that though. Oh well. Mr. I and MIL joined up in time (barely, it took forever to check out at Chefs, nearly a 2 hr meal in total) to catch the 2pm American Adventure showing and I hung out with Jack-Jack. It was only fair since Mr. I had done the same for me on our Epcot day 2. Dash went with Mr. I and MIL to watch it again. Made me a little happy that he chose to watch it again instead of hanging out with me and Jack-Jack.


I decided to push Jack-Jack around to see if he'd dose a little. We went back to Japan to look through the deparment store again. I caught the middle of the candy lady show.

My view of the candy lady

Continued in next post...

 

[gellybean]

Contined from previous post!



I got my photog on a bit and took a bunch of pictures.

Pokemon window display

Candy Lady view after looking around the store

Jack-Jack fell asleep before the show was over, poor little guy. I'm gonna miss this napping in the stroller as he gets older!

I headed down to Italy to take some more pictures and people watch.

I finally headed back to America around 2:30pm


While I was waiting for them by the fountain in the courtyard, a mom was sitting next to a girl (about 5) and was just tapping her foot and shaking and the little girl was obviously upset. Tears streaming. When the show let out, a man and boy (10ish) walked up to the mom and daughter. The mom went off. Said the girl was 'ruining' HER trip (the mom's) and that she couldn't believe she had to bring her out of a show again and that the little girl was a total brat and ungrateful for the trip they were giving her. I just couldn't believe how it all went down. The dad was just looking at the mom during her tirade. The mom stalked off and left the little girl with her dad and brother. Her older brother bent down and hugged her. The whole while the girl is snubbing she'd been crying so hard.

It was like watching a train wreck. I just couldn't look away. I felt sorry for the kid. I'm sure she wasn't perfect in there but really? It seemed a bit more about mom and less about the daughter. IMO!

Soon enough Mr. I, MIL and Dash were joining us and we walked back toward Canada to Future World because I figured we'd take the Mexico side back to Italy that evening. We stopped to take some picures in Morocco, a traditional spot for pictures of me as a child and now for my kids.

Patiently waiting for me to take pictures.

As we got to France, we show this guy

putting on a show. Dash was very impressed. I've kept my eye on my dining room chairs ever since we got home.

At this point, we realized that if we were gonna get pastries from France (one of MIL's favorite parts of Epcot) ever, now would be the best time. OMG! Just thinking about all the food we ate that day I'm feeling icky.

We split a tray full of pastries. I think we had one eclair, one napoleon and a chocolate mousse we thought the boys would eat.

I snapped some pictures while in line. Mr. I, MIL and the boys grabbed a spot in the dump shop.

We use this jam at home. Giada uses it and we saw it on her show, so we had to try it. It is really good though.

One of the founding chefs of Chefs de France. Mr. I knows all about him so I took this pic for him.

*drool*

After we were done, we made our way back to Future World to redemn our fast passes. Or at least try too.

Up next:

Would we get to ride Test Track? Would we ride any other rides? Would we make it to our dinner reservation in time? Would we have any room left for dinner? Would my MIL finally drive me officially crazy?!


Stay tuned!!!

 

[DisneyLifer87]

great update! Epcot is all about eating, so don't be ashamed.. you're not alone on the quest to eat the world!!

 

[Dugette]

Wow to the line at Spaceship Earth! We never saw a line like that during either of our recent trips!

Most of your experiences this day are like a summary of all the things we haven't yet experienced (but would like to): the janitors, lunch in France, Voices of Liberty, candy lady, pastries in France...YUM!

Funny you mention Giada...I saw her in person yesterday...she did a cooking demo where I work.

Anyway, great update. I hope you get to ride Test Track! And more!

 

[SoonerGirl]

I was determined to have a pastery from France last week when I was there, but I was just never hungry enough - one of these trips I'm just going to go without the dining plan so that I have room to eat all of the yummy snacks they have around the World!

That is such a sad story about that little girl, even having no idea what she did to make the mother angry, there is no cause to be that nasty to a small child

 

[faerieprincess]

Well, i'm finally here.

First of all, this:

I guess when you say "go ahead" in women's language the men hear "leave me for dead" in their native tongue.

really made me laugh. You have such a way with words sometimes. i think a lot of things should be translated into men's native tongue! You could write a book!

These pictures....

would seem to indicate that there was no "AGAIN" about the cupcakes as far as Jack-Jack was concerned, despite how he may have felt about the singing!

i thought the whole incident with the sociable lady in Boma was funny when you first told it, but when i read this...

That lady was a little nuts and drunk to boot. She just made herself at home! Left her poor mother sitting at their table by herself.

the funniness just rocketed up.

And finally... you. are going back to Disney. at CHRISTMAS. AND YOU DIDN'T *TELL* ME?!?!?!?!?!?! How can i be incredibly excited for you and crazy jealous iffin i don't even know you're going?!?!

lulu anyway.

 

[gellybean]

I last left off heading out of World Showcase with the intention of redemning our FPs at Test Track. We cut back across the same short cut we took the first time. As we were walking along, my MIL told me that I should change Jack-Jack's diaper before we got on the ride. I was kinda miffed, not gonna lie. I mean it's not like I haven't been taking care of him for 2 years or anything and knew how often he needs to be changed. So yeah I was a little irked. But I kept my mouth shut and headed off to change him at the family restroom near the entrance to Test Track. Sure enough his diaper was dry. BUT I wasn't gonna let it ruin my day.

The family restroom by Test Track that we used THREE times that day.


I really wanted to ride Test Track with Mr. I. We hadn't ridden anything just the two of us and I really hoped MIL would volunteer to ride with Dash so Mr. I and I could get a ride in together. Nope. She wanted to ride it with Mr. Incredible. On one hand, I can understand. She's not much of a thrill ride person and he's her son. But I was a little bummed and really missing my mom. I realized how spoiled I was with her there last trip. She'll always opt to ride with the grandkids and let Mr. I and I ride together. My mom always puts her kids first and is incredibly selfless in these kinds of situations. Plus she loves the heck out of her grandkids and would rather see them than me anyway. I really missed her at that moment. (thankfully she'll be going on our next two trips!)

Dash and I parked everyone on a bench to go get in a very long line for the FPs only to hear that the ride was 'broken down'. Instead of standing in line for who knows how long, I headed back over to MIL and Mr. I and Jack Jack and decided we'd go check out Universe of Energy, not on my must rides ever, but it was in the air conditioning and took up some time and was tame enough for Jack Jack. The ride was empty and a walk on. So we hopped on back in time.
MIL worried the whole time that Jack Jack was gonna get scared but he was fine. He snuggled up to me and pointed out everything but never got scared, probably because I talked to him in a happy tone of voice the whole way. Now that being said, I wouldn't take him on Dinosaur in AK. Not yet at least.

After we were done, I headed over to see if Test Track was open again and it wasn't, so we walked over to see if Spaceship Earth's line had emptied out and it had.

Once again Mr. I and MIL rode together, with Dash behind them in the same vehicle and Jack Jack and I were in a car behind them.

Once through, Dash and I played the shuffle board power game and MIL, Mr. I and Jack Jack went to retrieve the stroller. We met back up outside the restrooms right outside of the Spaceship Earth exit and headed over to TT once again. This time the line was moving, so away Dash and I go. Only to get stuck in the queue inside the building with an announcement of temporarily down again. FINALLY ... probably 20 mins into it, we got in our car. Dash loved this ride and as I hadn't ridden it since 07 I enjoyed it as well. It's very different at night but I still love that outside curve at high speeds. Once we were done, we met up with Mr. I and MIL in the dump area (I had texted Mr. I to meet there, and we traded off Jack Jack. It felt like forever waiting for them to ride. I mean FOREVER. Jack Jack was starting to melt and Dash was getting antsy. I broke out the glow sticks and that worked for a little bit. Took bot boys into the family restroom for a potty break, walked around the Coke car wash thing that I can't remember the name of and let Dash run around in the mist. Finally, after nearly an hour, I KID YOU NOT, they came out. Come to find out, they had gotten stuck in a temporarily down line for a while too, except they were stuck while on the ride. Kinda cool. I was a tad jealous. AHEM.

BUT no time to pout. At that time, we had 15 mins to make it to our dinner reservation at 8pm. ALL the way around at Tutto Italia. We had to book it from Test Track via the baby center path way to Mexico. I had been about to text Mr. I that the boys and I were heading on and they could meet us in Italy. We high tailed it over to Italy, after a quick stop at the baby care center where I changed Jack Jack AGAIN. Ahem. Wasn't really wanting to hear it again from MIL. Just sayin'.


Continued in Next post...

 

[gellybean]

Continued from Previous Post!


We checked in at 8:03pm and were seated nearly immediately. Tutto Italia was Mr. I's favorite from last year's trip and ideal for his birthday dinner. We were brought bread and olives and we chowed down. You'd think we'd hadn't eaten in forever but it was really good.

MIL moved her head at the exact moment I snapped the camera but this pic cracks me up

I ordered the eggplant appetizer, kind of a thin slice eggplant layers with cheese and marinara. It was very good and I shared it with both MIL and Mr. I. Mr. I ordered the calamari. Just as good as it was last year. Prolly my favorite calamari I've had anywhere. Dash got the fried mozzie sticks for his ap and shared with his brother. MIL got a salad.

For our entrees I ordered the Cannelloni Al Forno (from all ears - baked with spinach, ricotta, bechamel and parmesan cheese )

and Mr. I ordered (from allears)Linguini Al Nero Di Seppia Con Gamberi - black squid linguine pasta, shrimp, spicy tomato sauce.

He loved his. I wouldn't try the pasta. But the one shrimp I stole was very good.


Dash got the spagetti and meatballs.

He looks like he's in motion in this picture

MIL ordered the Penne Caprese - her usual in any Italian restaurant.

Jack Jack, well, Jack Jack decided he needed all of his brother's pasta as soon as the plate hit the table. We had asked for an extra plate to share a little bit of everything with him but no. He only wanted the spaghetti.

He attacked it with every little bit of gusto that little 2 year old boy's body had after a long day in the park. Which was a lot of gusto, frankly. That child ate and ate and ate and ate. He was in the zone. I look over at one point and to my horror see about 5 hot men um I mean fully capable Italian servers standing over by the drink station watching my son eat pasta. They were in awe over his mad pasta eating skills. I wanted to with embarassment. But they were thoroughly enjoying watching that boy eat.

And without further ado I give you the Jack Jack Sketti Attack:

2 year old sketti hand prints

Love this one!

I tried my best to clean it up as much as I could but the server kept saying not to worry and that it was fine and how bellismo he was. Dessert came and we were all ready to pop. I ordered a trio of mini desserts that wasn't on the menu. I believe it had one mini cheesecake, one mini tiramisu and a mini chocolate hazelnut torte. I was disappointed cus I could not taste the hazelnut in the tolrte at al. It was just chocolate cake and the cheesecake was just cheesecake. Course it could have been because I was ready to pop at that point and no food would have tasted good. I left most of it on my plate. They brought Dash out another birthday dessert

but Jack Jack didn't have his button on, thankfully, cus I don't think that kid had any room for anymore food. Mr. I got the cannoli and said they were very good.

We got ready to settle our bill and when MIL was asking how much to tip I was shocked at how much her bill was. Come to find out they had charged her for Dash's appetizer, entree and his free dessert was on there but with no charged dessert. When I looked at the number of credits we had left, however, something was not adding up. Upon further investigation we realized at that point that MIL's lunch had been charged to our DxDDP. We were 0 for 2 at sucessfully eating with an OOP person while we were on DDP.

We left the bills as they were because it basically washed out. MIL's lunch for Dash's dinner.

We left Tutto after much cleaning up and I tried to snap a few pictures on the way out.

This one was with night time mode on. Hmmm...

It was well after Illuminations at this point and the back of Epcot was empty. It was kinda nice.

We passed a group of people all dressed up in formals being escorted from a patio over looking the lagoon to the American Adventures ball room. How cool would that be?! I have no idea what the occasion was. It didn't look like a wedding and they were too old for it to be a prom or college affair. So who knows. But way cool to know they were having a party after hours in Epcot and the American pavilion.

We finally made our way to the front of the park and Dash saw the fountains on. He had been asking all week to play in the water and I kept telling him it was too cold. Well this night it was the warmest we'd had yet so I told him he could. I mean we were on our way back to the hotel anyway so he wasn't gonna have to stay wet for long.

I made him take his shoes off and away he went.

Well after I made him come out of the water, he complained that I let him play on the coldest night we'd had. Oh no he didn't! I tried to explain to him that it was a good 30 degrees warmer than the first few nights but he didn't believe me. He was shivering. We stripped him out of his clothes and wrapped him into a Disney throw. He was mortified to be naked in Epcot but was much warmer. He held tightly to that throw the whole way home.

We returned his stroller and made our way to the bus stop. We had great bus luck and RAN to make the bus that was sitting there only to wait another 15 mins for more peeps.

Soon enough we were bathed, pj'd and in bed. All exhausted. We all said Happy Birthday to Mr. I one more time and then fell into a deep slumber.

Up next:

Our last park day! Would the MLK crowds make it a miserable one? Would we catch Spectro or Wishes? Would we manage to fit in yet another ADR?

Stay tuned!!!!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Oh wow, you are very tolerant of your MIL. Jack-Jack and his sketti attack is awesome. What a good eater he is! Sorry that TT took so long but thankfully you were able to all ride. I love riding it at night.

 

[gellybean]

great update! Epcot is all about eating, so don't be ashamed.. you're not alone on the quest to eat the world!!

Thanks!! Epcot is sooooooo about eating! LOL I have to make a list of all the places I haven't eaten yet. We tend to go back to the same places over and over!!
Maybe more trips are in order to try more places.

Wow to the line at Spaceship Earth! We never saw a line like that during either of our recent trips!

Most of your experiences this day are like a summary of all the things we haven't yet experienced (but would like to): the janitors, lunch in France, Voices of Liberty, candy lady, pastries in France...YUM!

Funny you mention Giada...I saw her in person yesterday...she did a cooking demo where I work.

Anyway, great update. I hope you get to ride Test Track! And more!

There was a definite increase in crowds. It was like on Friday the boat docked or something. The masses arrived! Weekend + 3 day weekend + warmer weather = let's all go to WDW!

Jamminators was new for us but the other things have always kinda been on our list. I don't think I've ever been to Disney without hitting the pastry shop or American Adventures and I guess I've gotten lucky that most of the times I've seen AA VoL have been performing.

That's awesome that you saw Giada. She used to bug me but I kinda like her now.

I was determined to have a pastery from France last week when I was there, but I was just never hungry enough - one of these trips I'm just going to go without the dining plan so that I have room to eat all of the yummy snacks they have around the World!

That is such a sad story about that little girl, even having no idea what she did to make the mother angry, there is no cause to be that nasty to a small child

Please tell me you've had a pastry from France before?!! We were going there before all the guide books ruined it by raving about it. It used to be this little cute quiet door in the back corner that no one knew what was. Now there's a line out the door every time. But it's still just as yummy!

Snacking around the world is my fave way to do it. I'm not gonna miss DDP next time for that very reason. I felt like I was forcing snacks in and was miserable. UGH!

That little girl's mom.... wow. I wish I could remember more of what she said but it was appalling. And then for her brother to hug her after her mom walked away just made me wonder what goes on at home.

Well, i'm finally here.

About DANG time too!
*AHEM*


First of all, this:



really made me laugh. You have such a way with words sometimes. i think a lot of things should be translated into men's native tongue! You could write a book!

Awww shucks M'am. (here's your bribe for saying such things)

These pictures....

would seem to indicate that there was no "AGAIN" about the cupcakes as far as Jack-Jack was concerned, despite how he may have felt about the singing!


Yeah he was still pretty into the feed me sugar phase of vacation.


i thought the whole incident with the sociable lady in Boma was funny when you first told it, but when i read this...



the funniness just rocketed up.





And finally... you. are going back to Disney. at CHRISTMAS. AND YOU DIDN'T *TELL* ME?!?!?!?!?!?! How can i be incredibly excited for you and crazy jealous iffin i don't even know you're going?!?!

OOPs..... guess I kinda forgot to mention it. Wonder how you're gonna react when you see I'm going in August too....

lulu anyway.

LULU!

Oh wow, you are very tolerant of your MIL. Jack-Jack and his sketti attack is awesome. What a good eater he is! Sorry that TT took so long but thankfully you were able to all ride. I love riding it at night.

She's great most of the time. I try to assume the best in people but that comment just hit me wrong.

Jack Jack's sketti attack was awesome. It was too funny realizing the majority of the wait staff were standing around watching him eat. I posted the video on facebook and MIL watches it daily.

TT at night was great. The wait stunk but I'm glad we got it in. We didn't get to do much riding or rather we chose not too because of the additional waiting baby swapping added soooo it was nice to get in a few.

Now our next day....



PTR update: I caved and started a PTR already. I couldn't stand it. Planning without a PTR is just wrong. But I am determined to get this thing finished and soon so I can fully focus on the PTR. As y'all can see, another trip is now in the words. You'll have to flip over to the PTR to see how this one came about.


Thanks for reading!!!

 

[SoonerGirl]

We've done TT at night a couple of times too, it's pretty cool!

I was cracking up watching that video of Jack Jack eating his sketti, that boy was serious about his dinner!

And, to answer your question - no, I have never gotten a pastery from France......

I'm totally gonna ship you one this summer. Think it'll melt from Orlando to Oklahoma in the August heat?

Hmmm..


Ok so maybe I'll just eat one in your honor. How's that work??




And yes, that boy is serious about most things but do not mess with him and his pasta. I've ordered him a kid's meal of a burger or whatever and someone else at the table orders pasta?? It's over. He won't eat his food and is sayin "Um Um" (his words for feed me now!) to the person that has the pasta, regardless of how well we know them.

 

[Dugette]

Wow, that kid sure loves his spaghetti!

Looks like a good meal!

 

[goofy's_gurl]

Jack-Jack and his spaghetti too funny. I think anyone woulda watched him and enjoyed the little show lol.

 

[SoonerGirl]

Alright my dear Longhorn friend, I just had to come here and share this because I knew you would understand.

I'm sitting here going through the mail and I see something from the OU athletic department. I open it up and it's my order form for the OU/TX game (or TX/OU if you happen to wear that ugly burnt orange ). Do you know how much the tickets are this year????? $110 FACE VALUE! Seriously?! That's the price of a freakin' bowl game ticket It just keeps getting worse every year. For the 4 of us to go to the game it's $455 (after the 'processing fee' they have to add), plus parking, plus food, plus hotel - it adds up to be as much as a small vacation for one stinkin' weekend of football!

OK, I'm done - I just had to vent......

 

[stayhomemom77]

I love the sketti attack!!

Too stinkin' cute.

How's the weight loss going? I tried to get back to weight watching (online) once we got home but so far I haven't been incredibly successful.

Gotta slim down for next time...

So jealous you're going again in December.

What's your rating of Tutto Italia? I'm thinking about doing it next time but I'm still a bit unsure.

 

[gellybean]

Wow, that kid sure loves his spaghetti!

Looks like a good meal!

He does love spaghettti. All pasta really! He's his daddy's son.


It was a good meal. Mr. I's favorite.

Jack-Jack and his spaghetti too funny. I think anyone woulda watched him and enjoyed the little show lol.

He definitely had an audience for sure.

Alright my dear Longhorn friend, I just had to come here and share this because I knew you would understand.

I'm sitting here going through the mail and I see something from the OU athletic department. I open it up and it's my order form for the OU/TX game (or TX/OU if you happen to wear that ugly burnt orange ). Do you know how much the tickets are this year????? $110 FACE VALUE! Seriously?! That's the price of a freakin' bowl game ticket It just keeps getting worse every year. For the 4 of us to go to the game it's $455 (after the 'processing fee' they have to add), plus parking, plus food, plus hotel - it adds up to be as much as a small vacation for one stinkin' weekend of football!

OK, I'm done - I just had to vent......

Holy cow!! Come watch it with me. We'll yell back and forth and boo and generally talk trash about the opposing team we hate so much to simulate what it really feels like to be there, then pool our resources and head to Disney instead!

I've never been. I know I know, some fan I am. But I'm doing good to get to a local home game.

This year just won't be the same without Colt or Sam.

I love the sketti attack!!

Too stinkin' cute.

How's the weight loss going? I tried to get back to weight watching (online) once we got home but so far I haven't been incredibly successful.

Gotta slim down for next time...

So jealous you're going again in December.

What's your rating of Tutto Italia? I'm thinking about doing it next time but I'm still a bit unsure.

Welcome home Stayhomemom77!! Do you have a TR started?!?

The weight loss is slow going but going. You ought to come over to our WISH thread. We'd love to have ya!! It's a great group of ladies!!

I'm so excited about December... Gonna try to book VMCP next week! Wish me luck!! Hope to see you (all of you!!) over on the PTR soon!!
