What did you have to eat at Harambe Market?

Connor and I both had the ribs, and I loved the chickpea salad it came with. Nic ran down to Yak&Yeti, he couldn't resist.

Another fun night at MK! Boy it is so nice to be able to jump on the boat and pop over there. It's so close!

GF IPO got us a POC fastpass through the texting service. We also did a few other rides that didn't have long lines.

Tomorrow we're back to MK and we've got dinner at Crystal Palace!

We leave on Friday for the GF. Im sitting getting a pedicure while reading this and I just "awwwed" and "ohhhhed" so loud at these pictures that the entire salon just looked at me like I was crazy!

Thanks for sharing! I'm so happy your trip is going great!!!

MK was crowded today! Not that I didn't already expect it to be, but it was SUPER crazy. We were able to do our fastpass attractions and see the Xmas parade (I took 388 pictures of it!!!!) and then we left. I had to get out of there before I ripped someone's head off. I find myself to be a very calm person in my every day life but I swear there are some IDIOTS in the parks that really get under my skin. Grown men who will literally trample women and children into the ground without thinking anything of it. Chivalry is dead I guess. I try not to get nasty with people but sometimes I really want to lay into someone.

Perfect example... we walk into a dining area with a full tray of food, Nic is holding the tray, I'm holding all our sweatshirts and my purse, and Connor is walking around looking for a place for us to sit before our food gets cold. I saw an empty table and threw all our sweatshirts down on it and stepped a few feet away to tell the boys I found a spot. Some GROWN MAN comes up to me and starts chirping in my ear about saving a table when we are literally food in hand ready to eat. His family of 6 wouldn't even have fit at the small table we grabbed anyway. So he comes up behind me after we sit down and says, and I quote, "You don't have no education!". WHAT the WHAT??? Oh I wanted to turn around so badly, but I didn't, I just faced forward and let him walk off chirping away. My heart was racing and honestly I felt scared because I'm just a single mom with two kids trying to eat our lunch and I don't feel safe with some crazy man approaching me and trying to start a fight with me. Honestly I wanted to leave the park after that.

We are back at the GF for a break before dinner at Crystal Palace. I don't know how long we'll last at MK tonight. We might just eat and leave. The boys are dying to see Star Wars again so maybe we'll do that. I'm feeling stressed after today anyway.

I also took a ton of pics from the river boat today

Sorry for the ignorant ..... man at lunch. Guess he wasn't feeling the magic, and I can understand being a wee scared with you and the boys. If you were able to pop your stuff down, he wasn't holding that table so well now was he And YAY for a movie!

 

[Dentam]

Oh, I would probably have said something to Mr. Education and gotten myself into trouble, ha! Probably best that you ignored him - those types aren't going worth trying to reason with. Sorry you had that experience! Maybe take some time to explore the other deluxe resorts and enjoy all of the decorations at each after dinner? That's what we did when we were there for Christmas in 2009 to avoid the most crowded times. But, seeing Star Wars again also sounds like an excellent plan!

"You don't have no education"! If he wasn't so creepy this would be really funny. Lol. Sorry that MK was not very magical today, hopefully this will be your last rude encounter for the rest of your trip.
Did you"skip" Skippers Canteen?

Ok horrible grammar aside what on earth does that even mean!? What is the connection between saving a seat and being educated? I'm assuming you weren't doing something like clipping your toenails at the table, so I just dont understand what the point of that even was. Anyways I think you are extremely brave for being the better person and not saying anything. Plus you set a very good example for your children. I hope the rest of your trip goes well.
