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

[jcc0621]

Other than that, what can I say about CRT? The food was decent. Not bad, not awesome, but good and edible. I loved the fruit bowl, since that is what I usually eat for breakfast, anyway. The kids and HHBG loved the pastries. It was a little bit hectic in there, but it was a god time. The princesses were nice and spent good time with the kiddos, too.

We did dinner at CRT last year and I found that to be hectic too. Must just be the way it is there Jimmy wouldn't even consider getting in the picture with Cindy, so we now have a picture of Jim andI with her

The park was starting to get crowded, but we had never been on the Jungle cruise, so we decided to give it a try. The line SAID 5 minutes, and there were maybe 2 boats worth of people on the stand by line, so we went in. GAH!!!!

Just as we got in line, TWO high school groups, and a Brazilian tour group came up into fast pass....I have no idea how they determine who gets to go on those boats, but the loaded up from the ast pas line over and over and over again and never even LOOKED at the stand by line. Then a few empty boats went by....the some more people showed up for the fast pass line.

Finally AN HOUR AND A HALF later, we got on a boat. We had a horrible skipper Her delivery stank, no one on the boat laughed at all, and we got off thinking that there was no way we would ever rigde the jungle cruise again.

The skipper makes or breaks this ride

To cheer ourselves up, we rode on Pirates. I have not liked this ride so much, ever since they did the taming of the ride in the late 80s. It’s OK, but not great like it used to be. It’s really “kidded down”. I know I’m in the minority on this opinion, but I liked the more realistic portrayal of a pirates life, with the dirtiness and nastiness there.

ITA. The first time I saw it after the original reahb I was very disappointed.

As we were walking back to the room, we passed a family with two ladies and a bunch of 8-12 year old girls. AS we passed them, one of the ladies announces to the other lady in her b**chiest tone, and loud enough to be heard in Guam:

“I wish I could dress like a hooker in Disney world!”

All I can say is, thank goodness HHBG grabbed me and dragged me to our room. I was going to ask her why she though she wasn’t dressed like one. :

Oh , no she didn't! Smack down in the WL lobby...

Coming soon: POUNDS of seafood.....would I chase it with milk, like one famous DISer??

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

I think you DD is the most precious looking little girl i have ever seen wear a little mermaid outfit...you can bet that i would have taken the kids with me and told you to get let that lady have it, i would have given her the what 4..(that is when you show your fists, and then show them what they are used 4.)


keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing the pics and story with us.

 

[DisDancerina]

That lady... What nerve! What is she doing in WDW calling her THAT! I'm 13 and I'm not even allowed to use that word, but there that lady.... UGH! All I have to say to her if she's out there, "You're just jealous that you're not wearing an Ariel Costume, you know you wanna be a princess, but princesses don't have POTTY MOUTHS!!!!!"

 

[irene_dsc]

Oh, gosh...I'm still not sure what the right comeback would be to that particular, ahem, woman.

So, did B enjoy her surprise breakfast with Cindy?

I wish I had seen the original POTC - I wasn't impressed with the current version, either.

Sorry to hear about Jungle Cruise - we missed that one, and had heard mostly good things about it so far.

So, French food coming up...

 

[KatGarcia]

I was waiting for that part... I still can't believe that woman had the nerve! Brianna looks adorable in the outfit and that woman needed to be smacked!

BTW Awesome to see you last night! Thanks so much for coming!!!!

 

[krismom]

Oh my effing goodness! Are you kidding me?! I don't know how you restrained yourself. At least you know (and Brianna saw) you take the high road. Has that woman ever been to the beach or a pool? Has she seen the current fashion stylings of an actual hooker? Brianna couldn't have looked cuter, and she couldn't have had a better role modeling Mom!

Love the report and feel your pain (the hair hardware removal, the pouty pictures- at least it's not just my kids!)

 

[sandym718]

OMG, I think I would've been thrown out of the parks if I heard someone say this about my 4 y.o. daughter!!! I don't think I could've physically controlled myself!! What a you-know-what!

 

[winkers]

I noticed Spencer was a good boy and kept his fingers to himself when he posed with Jasmine! That is my favorite picture I've ever seen on the dis!

I can't believe that lady said that! I would have stewed for a couple of days and thought of all sorts of comebacks. I'm always too faberglasted to think of somthing to say when it happens.
Briana looked adorable.

 

[DisneyJo]

Lovely photos at CRT, Brianna looks adorable I bet you were slightly cursing her taking her hair out though

OMG I can't believe what that woman said, what is it with some people?

 

[whogirl'smom]

It may be hard to appreciate it now, but the looks on Spencer's face are priceless! Those are some adorable kids you have there! My dd was looking at the pictures while I was reading the update and said, "That's a funny looking Sleeping Beauty." I thought she looked more like a Cinderella in the face. And yes, Belle needs to dress for an appearance at the castle, not going to the market!

There just aren't words for the nasty woman at the WL. Although, the first time I read it, I was reading slowly since dd was talking, scrolling back up for the pictures, etc. I only read the line "Wish I could dress like a hooker" and thought, why does that woman think Angela is dressed like a hooker in her cargo pants?

 

[Charleston Princess]

Don't you wish you could have turned around and said, "I wish I could act like poor white trash when I go to WDW." Stupid woman.

Brianna looked adorable in her costume!

Spencer was cracking me up in the pics -- especially his obsession with Jasmine's jewels!

 

[jennwndrlnd]

Your daughter looked ADORABLE, and although I would've instantaniously went off on that woman you are the bigger person for being able to control yourself at the moment.

I am still telling people about your son's last year picture/this year picture with Jasmine, thanks for adding the newest one. He REALLY likes her doesn't he?!

 

[Phibbles]

I act like poor white trash everywhere I go.

 

[Tanya90210]

Stinkin rude lady! I hate when people do that!


Great chapter Brianna looks sooo adorable!! I have a boy that does the same as spencer.... Takes a bit for a good pic hehe

 

[brookelizabeth]

Too bad that woman didn't realize that Disney SOLD that outfit in their park, in the BBB where the kids are SUPPOSED TO WEAR IT! A-duh lady! She's FOUR!!!!!!! What an awful thing to say - and I know that sort of comment would just stick with me, running over and over in my mind. Grrrr!

Brianna looked adorable!!!!!

I love all the pics at CRT - Spencer is hilarious.

 

[HeatherSue]

Oh my gosh, I wasn't getting alerts when you updated, so I foolishly thought you hadn't updated for a LONG time! I just had a wonderful morning savoring every little bit of your TR!

I just love your sense of humor. You cracky me up!

Tessa wants to be friends with your DD. She said "She's awfully cute, I'd like to be her friend." She also LOVED her yellow Giselle dress.

It sounds like you had a MUCH better experience at the BBB and with the photographers than we had on our trip -UGH!

 

[camelotcats]

Ahh someone else is annoyed by Belle's peasant clothes! He (DH) would not stop about that. Why is she all dressed up in Norway but thinks its okay to dress like a villager at the castle? Over and over again.

Oh and that lady! You have more restraint than I do. My DD (cat) dances and spends a lot of time in a dance top and shorts where her stomach is exposed. The rule is she can't dress like that except going to and from dance. Once I stopped quickly at a store to pick up some medicine for He and some.. lady (if you can call her that) Said something about my DD being a slut. I almost killed her.

Brianna is so cute and its Disney. She is dressed in a Disney costume. I really don't get people. And who says Hooker at Disney? That woman needs to get her mind out of the gutter and into the magic of being a child at Disney... or she just needs to leave. Either is fine with me.

-Becca-

Dude, I went OFF int he room, I just didn't let the kids hear me. Brianna keeps tryingot wear her ariel outfit to school. Uh. No, sweetie. That is for at-home wear ONLY.

I'm sorry anyone would say anythign to your DD. People can be so cruel.

If that was us I wouldn't have had time to do anything before DH ripped into her. How can you even think of refering to a 4 year old like that???? I just don't get people

For what it's worth I though she looked absolutely adorable!!!

Thank you! I think she was just JEALOUS.

We did dinner at CRT last year and I found that to be hectic too. Must just be the way it is there Jimmy wouldn't even consider getting in the picture with Cindy, so we now have a picture of Jim andI with her



The skipper makes or breaks this ride



ITA. The first time I saw it after the original reahb I was very disappointed.



Oh , no she didn't! Smack down in the WL lobby...

It was on the walkway by the pool. a few people turned around to see what she was talkign about, so Brianna got a lot of "Hi princess" comments after that, which helped me keep my cool.

I think you DD is the most precious looking little girl i have ever seen wear a little mermaid outfit...you can bet that i would have taken the kids with me and told you to get let that lady have it, i would have given her the what 4..(that is when you show your fists, and then show them what they are used 4.)


keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing the pics and story with us.

thank you for the compliment on Brianna. HHBG saved me from being removed from the resort and having to explain the words I was using to my very impressionable children.

That lady... What nerve! What is she doing in WDW calling her THAT! I'm 13 and I'm not even allowed to use that word, but there that lady.... UGH! All I have to say to her if she's out there, "You're just jealous that you're not wearing an Ariel Costume, you know you wanna be a princess, but princesses don't have POTTY MOUTHS!!!!!"

No one should use that word.....seriously, especially a mother in front of her kids....

Oh, gosh...I'm still not sure what the right comeback would be to that particular, ahem, woman.

So, did B enjoy her surprise breakfast with Cindy?

I wish I had seen the original POTC - I wasn't impressed with the current version, either.

Sorry to hear about Jungle Cruise - we missed that one, and had heard mostly good things about it so far.

So, French food coming up...

Nope...seafood coming up. All the french food is done. WAAAHHH

I was waiting for that part... I still can't believe that woman had the nerve! Brianna looks adorable in the outfit and that woman needed to be smacked!

BTW Awesome to see you last night! Thanks so much for coming!!!!

We had fun, but next time we should try for less people so we can talk!!

Oh my effing goodness! Are you kidding me?! I don't know how you restrained yourself. At least you know (and Brianna saw) you take the high road. Has that woman ever been to the beach or a pool? Has she seen the current fashion stylings of an actual hooker? Brianna couldn't have looked cuter, and she couldn't have had a better role modeling Mom!

Love the report and feel your pain (the hair hardware removal, the pouty pictures- at least it's not just my kids!)

I wasn't surprised she took it all out. She takes everything out of her hair, after begging me to such intricate styles. I'm glad I didn't say anything, but I was ticked.

OMG, I think I would've been thrown out of the parks if I heard someone say this about my 4 y.o. daughter!!! I don't think I could've physically controlled myself!! What a you-know-what!

I agree.

I noticed Spencer was a good boy and kept his fingers to himself when he posed with Jasmine! That is my favorite picture I've ever seen on the dis!

I can't believe that lady said that! I would have stewed for a couple of days and thought of all sorts of comebacks. I'm always too faberglasted to think of somthing to say when it happens.
Briana looked adorable.

I think it helped that jasmine wasn't squattign this time. Note him being unable to look away from the jewels at her waist. he kept trying to touch them, and we kept telling him to keep his hands to himself.

Lovely photos at CRT, Brianna looks adorable I bet you were slightly cursing her taking her hair out though

OMG I can't believe what that woman said, what is it with some people?

I'm glad she kept it in for pictures and breakfast. I thought she looked cuter with it out, so I wasn't too upset.

It may be hard to appreciate it now, but the looks on Spencer's face are priceless! Those are some adorable kids you have there! My dd was looking at the pictures while I was reading the update and said, "That's a funny looking Sleeping Beauty." I thought she looked more like a Cinderella in the face. And yes, Belle needs to dress for an appearance at the castle, not going to the market!

There just aren't words for the nasty woman at the WL. Although, the first time I read it, I was reading slowly since dd was talking, scrolling back up for the pictures, etc. I only read the line "Wish I could dress like a hooker" and thought, why does that woman think Angela is dressed like a hooker in her cargo pants?

Well, I was wearing a still wet Tigger shirt and my other cargoes, so I knew she wasn't talking about me....I did look around to see if there was a teenager or adult she was commenting on, but there was no one else around. Weirdo.....

The princesses were fine. They all were nice with the kids and took plenty of time. that was the most important thing to me.....even if I do agree that it seems Disney is having problems finding princesses.....

 

[camelotcats]

Don't you wish you could have turned around and said, "I wish I could act like poor white trash when I go to WDW." Stupid woman.

Brianna looked adorable in her costume!

Spencer was cracking me up in the pics -- especially his obsession with Jasmine's jewels!

Uh....I apparently Do act like poor white trash at WDW.....just ask some of the people who commented about me when I was wearing tank tops.

Spencer was obsessed....

Your daughter looked ADORABLE, and although I would've instantaniously went off on that woman you are the bigger person for being able to control yourself at the moment.

I am still telling people about your son's last year picture/this year picture with Jasmine, thanks for adding the newest one. He REALLY likes her doesn't he?!

he LOOOOVES her....then he comes home and says "I hate princesses". Every time he says that, I think to myself: "Well, except for jasmine".

I act like poor white trash everywhere I go.

me too!

Stinkin rude lady! I hate when people do that!


Great chapter Brianna looks sooo adorable!! I have a boy that does the same as spencer.... Takes a bit for a good pic hehe

he was all hyper, it drove me crazy! Well, except with jasmine, who he was all huggie with and trying to grab and touch her jewels...no sense of personal space, that boy....

Too bad that woman didn't realize that Disney SOLD that outfit in their park, in the BBB where the kids are SUPPOSED TO WEAR IT! A-duh lady! She's FOUR!!!!!!! What an awful thing to say - and I know that sort of comment would just stick with me, running over and over in my mind. Grrrr!

Brianna looked adorable!!!!!

I love all the pics at CRT - Spencer is hilarious.

She was probably trying to keep her kids from even bothering to ASK for one....not how I would have done it, personally, but somepeople are too insecure, and need to bring others down to feel superior....it DID bother me for a while, buteveryone else though she looked adorable, so I let it go.

Oh my gosh, I wasn't getting alerts when you updated, so I foolishly thought you hadn't updated for a LONG time! I just had a wonderful morning savoring every little bit of your TR!

I just love your sense of humor. You cracky me up!

Tessa wants to be friends with your DD. She said "She's awfully cute, I'd like to be her friend." She also LOVED her yellow Giselle dress.

It sounds like you had a MUCH better experience at the BBB and with the photographers than we had on our trip -UGH!

I just read yours! what jerks!! I'm so sorry you had such a rough time! that's horrible!!

brianna asks about Tessa, too. "mommy, do we know her? What's her name? Why don't we know her?"

Chapter 18: Piles of Seafood, and we forget the camera AGAIN.

We got back to the room got changed for dinner, and took the kids to the club. Brianna insisted on leaving her Ariel outfit on, so we grabbed her a little sweater to throw on if she got cold..

We quickly went off and got on the bus for DTD....and realised we didn't have the camera. Oh well. The ride to DTD was uneventful. We got there and walked around. We spent some time in Arribas brthers, but HHBG said her wasn’t feeling very well, so we decided to see If we could get seated a little early for dinner at Fulton’s Crab house.

They could accommodate us, so we were seated pretty quickly. We again scored a seat by the windows. We were pretty lucky this trip with our seating at dinner.

I didn’t write down our waiter’s name, but he was pretty good. Going in, we had been planning on getting their super shellfish platter (or whatever it’s called), however, they had a special on 2 lb king crablegs, so we each got that. All told we ordered:

Oyster sampler appetizer: Yum.

2 lb crab legs: These were awesome, though too much to finish. Also the waiter insisted on opening mine up for me, but didn’t open up HHBG’s. I grew up on Long Island eating shellfish, so after the waiter left, we traded plates, since I am better at removing crab from the shell than HHBG. Then the waiter came back, and de-shelled mine too. Whatever.

HHBG: Carrot Cake: He said this was good. I didn’t get a taste, so I guess he liked it.
Me: Key Lime Pie: This was very good, but HUGE. Htey gave me something like a quarter of a pie. I barely dented it.

After dinner, I wanted to explore DTD, ut HHBG just wanted to go back to the room, so that’s what we did. The bus was PACKED!!

On the way back, we noticed a sign sayign that the Friday night act at House of Blues was sold out (it was Panic! at the disco), and HHBG didn’t really want to go tot the House of Blues without seeing the act (but he had expected ME to be psychic and buy the tickets), so we decided to eat somewhere else for our last night at WDW. No more DTD for us.....

When we got back, I went to concierge to rescedule dinner for Friday, and he went to go get the kids and go to bed.

Well, I tried a few places, btu they were all booked, until I mentioned a place I really wanted tot ry that HHBG had been so-so on, and we got in there pretty easily. Where was it?? Well, you’ll jsut have to wait until we get to Friday, won’t you.

I went back tot he room, met up wit everyone, and we all went to sleep for another day at the magic kingdom tomorrow.

Coming soon: How many people are here, anyway???

 

[Charleston Princess]

Mmmmm, dinner sounds delicious! I love seafood!!!
