Even If I get lost in a paperbag, I'll say that's right were I want to be!

Yes, that also sounds strangely familiar.

Do you also take 3 mile U-Turns?

Fun TR!!! Your kids are adorable - looks like you all had a blast!
When we were there, we didn't wait more than 10 min for any bus, anywhere. However, we were there in July so it makes sense that they are more "geared up" to keep people moving I guess.
We drove to the MK once - other drama involved - and drove to DHS once - discovered really quickly that by the time we got lost, found our way, got lost in the parking lot, got lost on the way back to FW, that even a long bus ride was quicker
Laughed my head off about the shoes! That is SO my DD!

This is not the place for this discussion but I felt that I needed to respond. First of all, I resent your implication that I am not the bus driver that I should be. I have not had to refuse anyone for being drunk yet and I'm sure I've had lots of passengers that had two drinks. You know full well what I'm talking about. You wrote inebriated. If you look up the definition, that's not two drinks. No where in my job description does it say that I have to put up with the true definition of a drunk. Would you take that job if it did? Your assumption that we want them to drive instead is ridiculous. It's their responsibility to arrange for transportation if they plan to get smashed, not Disneys.

So taking a cab now is elitist, amazing. To me that's taking resposibility for your own actions.

And Carol, I'm not clear on which part of the response you're agreeing with, but it's hard to believe that you're a fall down drunk when you take the bus.

Sorry - I've never been "Drunk" in my life - "inebriated" has always refered to someone under the influence of alcohol, any amount, to me. But if I have even 1 drink while out, I have a designated driver. It would be irresponsible to do otherwise. I thought that was what everyone was taught to do, and it got me really upset that I thought you were telling people that you were saying that you wouldn't let anyone on your bus if they had any alcohol in them.

I've been dealing with in-laws who don't drink anything at all and try to say that alcohol is from the devil, so that's where the elitist comment came from. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

And Lovely trip report

No of course not.. I meant to do that.

I'm sure MICKEYLOVINMOMOF5 just wanted to see more of Central Florida,
Yeah, she meant to do that..
Great TR. Only lost 1 shoe, not bad, I'm impressed.

I definatley got the scenic route.. and OF COURSE I meant to see it.. that's my story and I'm sticking to it

I hate to tell on myself but the shoe wasnt the only casualty.. I lost multiple socks.. a flip flop.. locked my keys in the car once, killed the truck battery.. and oh yea, I forgot my debit card was in my back pocket, sat on it and cracked it into peices.. but hey I was traveling for 7 days with 4 children.. it could have been a whole lot worse. Can't really blame the kids for my mishaps though.. I do that crap on a daily basis all by myself

Hello-

I am just popping in to your TR to say how much I appreciate your humor!

This story is hilarious:

I have to share my troll experience here. There was a OLDER man here, probably in his late 40’s in line to get pictures. There were probably 4 other kids besides my 3 in line. A couple of stray kids would run in but still not overly crowded and no body waiting for more than a few minutes. My kids were all in a row, this guys turns to me and says “lady you need to hurry the hell up, people are waiting..” I kid you not. Now, I’m a sweet lil’ southern lady with Red hair and blue eyes that turn green when I’m mad.. this guy pushed my buttons in all the wrong ways. I couldn’t believe him! I just told him that the seniors line was down the street a bit he might want to try that one.. waved at him with the special secret squirrel wave and moved on. I have never in my life had a incident like that at Disney.

Secret Squirrel wave?



Looking forward to reading more!

TCD

That's what keeps you interesting, you'll never lose that.

Ok, well we sorta got side tracked from the trip report so I’m going to roll the ending all up into one. The bottom line is, my almost 2 year old just really didn’t like the crowds associated with the parks. He liked the characters a bunch, didn’t care much for the rides at all, liked the fireworks but the crowds associated with those things was more than he could handle. At first I felt bad for my 3 big kids but I have been blessed with patient and loving children who instead of feeling “cheated” wanted to do things that their baby brother enjoyed as well. So we only used 1 more day of our 6 day tickets at the magic kingdom, skipped the rest and hung out at the Fort. We did a lot of swimming and the big kids participated in all the activities and had a blast! The life guards were awesome and before the week was over knew my kids by name. Here’s some pic’s..

Here’s one of the green eyed devil outside of splash mountain..

My big girl dancing with the parade people..

My precious boys..

We were the only people on the ferry boat.. the captain was rather entertaining and wanted to take our pic..

Ready for the daily looping..

Playground by the dog park.. OUR FAV!!

More pool shots..

So as you can see, we enjoyed the Fort A LOT! Even more so than the parks. I am bringing the big kids back for a special trip in April because I really did feel bad that we didn’t get to do a lot of the things we had planned for. My hubby was ready to kill me when I told him we weren’t using the rest of our tickets for the parks because as you all know they cost a fortune, but once he saw the pictures of the kids playing at the fort and how much they enjoyed it, he forgave me LOL

I have only a few more things that'll share with you about this trip and we will be done, I'll post those up tomorrow, this posting is time consuming for sure! Thank you to everyone for the nice comments, I'm working on planning our April trip now, we will be there from the 10th to the 16th, I'm hoping to meet some of you nice people!

Great TR, MICKEYLOVINMOMOF (though I think you need an acronym or something...MLM5???)

Your writing style and your pics of your kids are both totally adorable! I loved how in almost every single pic your one DD was shooting the peace sign. She made me laugh - way too cute! And your litte guy with the one sock - way too cute too!

Thanks for sharing, I can't wait until your next trip!

And a PS - we have the Jr. version of that camp kitchen and love it!

Whoohoo, I'm a acronym and yes, I love the camp kitchen thing, mine was attacked by a crazed squirrel at FW, I'll post those pictures today, this squirrel had a 'tude! I think he was "mackin" on the neighboring girl squirrel in the next tree and when I put up my tent we seperated them.. LOL

That's a new one. I'm learning a lot of new words from the "Moms of many kids".

The kids keep me current on the lingo.. My 12 year old actually came up with the theory on the angry squirrel.. little guy was rather bold to be so little. Every morning we woke up he was in the canopy, he was obsessed with hamburger buns..

 

[MICKEYLOVINMOMOF5]

Here's the culprit.. look what he did to my camp kitchen!!

Bad bad squirrel!!

 

[storyteller]

great TR, going to miss it..
Bad squirrel!

Loving the trip report! What loop were you in? Did you like your site? (Sorry if I missed that in the report somewhere.)

I made the mistake of leaving a box of crackers out last week when I went looping. I didn't even think about it since it was later and cool out. When I got back, that poor box of crackers had been squirreled into a million pieces. I hope he liked garlic pretzel crackers and wasn't going to be kissing any other squirrelettes that night!

We were in site 2048, it was ok, we were directly in front of the comfort station which was convienent with the kiddos, however I heard everyone going to potty at 2am so next time I might choose something a little further away. Also I had a pretty big tent a 19 x 12 coleman, the site seemed like it was curved or something so the ends were going down hill. Or maybe it was just me anywho, I didnt hate it, but I saw many other sites in the 2000 loop that I would have like much better! 1500 loop looked really nice, excellent location but it was packed, I sorta liked the fact that most of the week 2000 was pretty empty.
