Marriage: The Trip Report - Update 2/28 - Final Thoughts & Link to Disneyland TR!

[reelmom]

I loved how you hopped over to MK to ride Peter Pan. Also love the phrase "Wired to Tired".

 

[disneydreaminA115]

I just found this report and got caught up - Love it! I really enjoy your writing!

 

[eandesmom]

I'm impressed that you all kept going, I think I'd have drug everyone to bed after test track. Gotta love that monorail and the ability to do just what you did though!

Hope that blister doesn't become an issue....

 

[petals]

Poor Henry looks so scared in the TT pic

 

[CandleontheWater]

I LOVE that you hopped the monorail just to ride Pan, how spontaneous and fun! That is what Disney vacations are all about!

So sorry that Henry was not feeling TT that night, I hope he got his car ridin' mojo back by the end of the trip!

Catching up now that we have power back. My neighbor, who really is nice and not at all as foolish as this, dug a whole line of 3-foot fence-post holes without first calling the power & gas companies to come mark where their lines are. What was he thinking? Never mind the inconveniece to me, how do you take such a risk when you've just become a father? Anyway, he escaped electrocuting himself, and three days later, we're back up and running. I'd hate to see his bill to fix the line!

Love monorailing to MK for a medicinal dose of PP after that TT trauma. Good mommy! Also, I wonder if we might have just stumbled upon a strong factor in the "can't-get-to-RD" syndrome you mentioned before.

Sounds like Henry was textbook wired to tired. Familiar territory. Our soundtrack typically included the classic whine/scream "I'm NOT tired!!!" With DD, that signalled she'd drop dead asleep in about 3 minutes.

Poor Henry -- he certainly doesn't look happy on Test Track, but I would have been the same way you were -- unless the kids actually say something, I don't always notice things like that.

I would have been dead on my feet by the end of the night -- I am right there with you -- when the kids are super hyper at night it makes me even more tired.

Hopefully with some rest, you are able to shake the crankiness. It usually does the trick for me!

Only on Test Track.

Thanks Jen!

Ok so I have to ask, who's Ron Miller

Ron Miller was married to Walt Disney's daughter Diane. Try saying THAT ten times fast! He was a cutie patootie when he was younger.

Or how rich we could be if we could bottle it and sell it!

No kidding! Rich enough to go to Disney at least once a month probably!

 

[kmrein]

Hi, there! Subbing WAY late and can't wait to go back and read!

For now I'll just say....Henry is adorable! Nice to meet you and can't wait to read all about your experiences!

Thanks for the info. And maybe even rich enough to buy one of the fancy houses the are building on property.

Great update, Brook. Funny how one year Henry likes TT and the next he doesn't so much.

I so remember those days that they would all of sudden have all this energy and all I wanted to do was crawl in bed and go to sleep.

But it sounds as if you had a great day and no meltdown from mom.

 

[Aurynn]

I'm glad that PPF did put a smile back on his face. And I agree with the others: you're awesome for park hopping for him like that

 

[DisneyFanDC]

I am embarrassed at how long I have been reading your TRs and am only now commenting -- please forgive my lurkdom! I adore reading about Henry's adventures because he reminds me so much of my daughter, Lucia. I am so excited for her to be tall enough to hit Soarin' and Test Track like Henry (and be potty-trained, too, you're my hero!).

 

[Lovemy3babes]

First off, I love your TT picture. Not the Henry being scared part but your expression and fist pump. That is classic!!!

And then the PP picture in front of the castle. Henry is winking?! That is adorable!!

How fun to hop over to MK just for a few rides. Great parents you and Joe are!

 

[PopArtGal]

haha poor Henry on TT. Such a cutie.

I'm gonna sound like a nut, but how old is he again? I'm so bad with ages.

 

[AprilRenee]

I love that you just jumped on the monorail and hopped over to MK! It's that attitude of "We're in Disney World...Why not!?" That's what I love about Disney World!

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Joining in. Found your TR while enjoying another and just love reading about Henry and his fun. I hope you enjoyed your solo/friend trip as well. Can't wait to hear about the rest of your family trip and your quick solo trip.

 

[MeMom]

Looks like lots of fun was had in Magic Kingdom. Sometimes you just have to shift gears and do something you didn't have planned, and it often turns out to provide some of the best moments of the trip. Henry's smiles on Peter Pan and Buzz show his approval and happiness. Nice batch of pictures to get us ready to go back to Magic Kingdom very soon.

 

[PirateKate]

Too bad Henry had had enough of Test Track. He did look scared in the picture. Do you think maybe it's because he was riding at night again?

Magic Kingdom sounds like fun. I love making spontaneous decisions like that at Disney.
