Mommy...Why does Crush talk like you? Final thoughts and summary 10/15

[Hedy]

Thanks! (insert smilie of me patting self on back).

Know what it was inspired by?

I read your pre-trip, so I'd be cheating.

I agree about Disney's uncalibrated measuring system. The same thing happened to my nephew.

Briana and Spencer look so cute with the yellow Power Ranger.

I love the Muppets. I remember watching the Muppet Show before bed.

Chapter 7: Babysitter? Babysitter!?! We don’t need no STEENKIN’ Babysitter!!

Where were we? Oh yeah...We had just left the Voyage of the Little Mermaid.....

It was close to time for our ADRs at the 50's Prime Time Café, so we headed over there to check in. They sent us into the living room to wait for a little while, and we went to watch shots from old TVLand shows (I’m too young for them to be from anything but TV land or Nick at Night...sue me).

While the kids were ensconced in front of the TV and HHBG and I were standing around waiting for a seat to open up, I started to look around....and began to see some things that both cracked me up and made me very uncomfortable....because, apparently, Disney bought my Grandmother’s living room.....and my parent’s old books and put them into their “living room”. I needed some pics to show my folks....

See the white encyclopedias? Yeah. There’s a set in my house right now from my folks....and the Zebras...and the dancing people....I think Disney bought them from my grandmother’s estate.....

We got seated relatively quickly and introduced to our babysitter whose name I forget. He was great. He took our drink orders first. HHBG and I both got Coke, Brianna ordered an apple juice, and then Spencer ordered a chocolate milk. Brianna then started crying that she wanted chocolate milk, too. The babysitter heard her and changed the order.

When he came back with the drinks, HHGB and I got our sodas. He then announced “I have apple juice here! Raise your hands for apple juice!”. The kids looked upset, but could see when he put the drinks down that they actually had chocolate milk. The babysitter took our orders and went off....

What we ordered:

Me: Pot Roast (according to Donald T Duck’s TR, the ONLY thing to order here)
HHBG: fried Chicken
Both kids: hot dog, chicken noodle soup, fruit salad.

We had a TV at our table, so we watched some TV and waited for our food.

Som e guy offered tot ake our pic. I think the camera was on the wrong setting.

When the food came, Brianna looked straight at our babysitter and said to him “HEY! My apple juice tastes like chocolate milk!!”. LOL. So cute.

The rest of lunch was pretty uneventful. W ate our food (mine was the best!!), paid, and headed out. On our way out, I tried to give away our fast passes, but no one was interested, so we just took them with us. Oh well.

After leaving lunch, we decided to head out of the park. We had promised the kids we wold ge thtem hats, so we had to go on the mad hat quest. I am not going into the long boringness that ensued while my son had to looka t every single hat there, decided on the hat he already had at home, and finally decided ona aht he hasn’t even looked at since. Bleh. He should have let me pick him out a hat. I would have at least picked one out that he could wear on rainy days to school under his hood.

Here’s HHBG trying on a hat:

Brianna, of COURSE, picked the bride minnie ears. While she was picking out her ears, I decided I HAD to get a tee shirt I saw in the window. I wore it later that afternoon....

We then got ice creams, got enormously messy, cleaned off, and headed over to the busses to go back to the hotel and get cleaned up for dinner in Epcot.....

On the bus, mommy and daddy get silly:

Coming up: Will dinner live up to, or down to it’s reputation...and PEEPS!

I love that just being there can bring out the good in children! That is great that they both shared the stickers! I so hope that my DS4 is tall enough for eveything he wants to ride but the family (my kids) decided they would not ride anything he can't ride. They decided that if he can't ride, then we can wait until next time! We shall see how that works!

She gave them to everyone. Even our waiter at PTC. Soon she ran out. it was cute. HHBG and Spencer only did 2 rides without us, since I became the designated "wait with the too short kid" parent.

He said he was our babysitter, adn thus didn't care about us using table manners or being well behaved. He kept trying to increase the ruckus level.

We didn't buy it, though I thought HHBG looked cute.

It was interesting, because I had warned HHBG about using manners adn the like, then we get a babysitter who comes out and says he doesn't care.

 

[Hedy]

Great PTC experience.

 

[DisneyJo]

How sweet of Brianna giving away the stickers, so generous

I so have a picture of me when I was on a trip with my Mom to WDW in the same hat. Didn't buy it...should have...I think it is a riot! But I was 19 and I didn't really have the cash and Mom had already paid for everything else...this trip in June is my chance to pay her back! (for a lot of things! )

 

[brookelizabeth]

I think I just read three updates!

Love the hats, and so, so sweet about the sticker sharing! I look forward to seeing your new shirt....gotta be something good....

 

[KatGarcia]

I swear one day I'll actually buy some mouse ears!

Love the hat pics!

I haven;t been to 50's in a while, I def wanna go back!

I love these two pix... and cute too.

the pot roast is the reason I keep going back to PTC. Yum......I'm glad you got a good server especially after the WCC debacle.

The kids rode ToT that's a milestone to remember...and Star Tours too....that's a nice plus......

Can't wait for the peeps pix...

 

[irene_dsc]

Finally catching up...

Love CARGOES OF HOLDIN+1! I do that with my cargo shorts - but January was way too cold for those!

So cute of B to give away all those stickers!

She's also way braver than my dd...

I was recently looking at the Six Flags website, and realized dd is not near any of the requirements, so I won't need to deal with wristbands if we go this summer - but at least they have them as an option!

Oh, and sorry to hear you were sick, but sounds like you had fun Dismeetin...

 

[eeyore3847]

Love the TR so far....... I have never seen pictures of that restaurnt? it looks like fun. was the movie actually playing on the tv?

 

[KC #1DH]

Hopefully get to meet ur HHBG soon, we could be BFFs!

[mommykds]

Sounds like you had the same waitress we had at WCC. Same exact thing happened to us.

The rest of your trip sounds good, thanks for posting!

 

[ForeverDance]

I am loving this TR! I especially love the "Cargoes of Holding +1". I told my dh about it and he also thought it was awesome (it's not every day you hear a reference to something you'd hear in a role playing game).

Can't wait until the next installment
