DAY 3 PART 1, 2 Meltdowns and a Dream!!
Today didn't start off good to say the least. DH and I got ready for our half day at HS then woke the kids up to have breakfast in the room before heading out to the bus. Kaylee woke up in a good mood like most days but Thomas was very uncooperative. Most of the trip he was like this along with DH a few times.
Thomas decided it was a good idea to play with his very loud Buzz Laser at 7:30 am. I told him to stop several times before thinking well our neighbors woke me up during the night with their Bday party. So now they have to just deal with the the noisy toy
for a bit. Then he has a fit because he doesn't want to eat breakfast. Also he said no to taking his vitamin. Which I felt today was not a good day to skip since he sat next to someone with the stomach virus at CM the night before. I was trying to keep him healthy as possible since we had a long ride tomorrow. Well he was not going to eat or take the vitamin but wanted to go to the park with us. So Tom told me to leave with Kaylee and hopefuly Thomas would be reasonable and then they would meet us at the bus stop.
So we get to the bus area and Kaylee is just playing out front so I call my mom to get and update on the dogs. Well she is is a mood too and complaining(like she does alot) about how the dogs are sooo annoying and she is ready to choke them
and is never watching them again . Mind you she volunteered to watch them for me. Let's just say she stresses out over everything.
Kaylee had been asking me if we can stay another day and is in the background saying this when my mom is complaining. Well when I hung up I said I don't think that is a good idea with Grandma being so stressed out and that adding a day was not going to happen.
Well Tom and Thomas finally meet us in front of Pop. Well Thomas was still whining & crying and still didn't take his vitamin or even drink his milk. Now I'm really
between dealing with his whinny but all weekend, Tom being a jerk and not reading the plans over, and the phone call with my mom. So I tell Tom loudly that I'm not going to the park and they just go without me and proceed to throw my baggalini on the ground like a 2 YO old 
. Well we had and audience and I'm sure they were quite entertained by my outburst. So I pick up my bag and go back to the room and have a good cry 
. I had enough of my family pushing my buttons and I needed a little break. After I was calm I called Tom and they were driving to HS , but he said he wanted me to go and that he would pick me up at front. he also said a 3 day weekend at Disney is not the time to battle Thomas's and his stubborn spolied brat ways. When DH picked me up he apologized for acting like a jerk and was trying to be accomdating for a change. He was even willing to stay another day, that is until I told him about Mom's phone call.
We finally get to HS and park and take the tram. It was about 9:30 so we went to see about seeing Playhouse Disney but it had already started. So we went to see VOTLM
instead. It was a very cute show and Kaylee forgot how much she loved it!!
After we were done Kaylee was begging to go to the animation Studio and do the drawing class. We figured since we didn't want to spend a whole day at HS that Tom and Thomas would go to Playhouse and Kaylee and I would go tp the class. Tom just didn't feel like drawing so I got elected. I'm definately not and artist
. Here are some pics of the new Playhouse DIsney Show which has Mickey Mouse Clubhouse in it, as well as the Little Einsteins. Thomas raved about it!!
Kaylee and I went into the Animation shop so we could go in the back entrance instead of seeing the move again. I asked the CM (Scott was his name) when the class starts. He tells me not until 10:30. I told him we would just browse in the shop and play with the computers in the animation courtyard since that was open. Then he says he would be right abck. When the Scott came back he told Kaylee since it's her BDay that the Artist was going to do a private class just for her. I think Kaylee was just shocked and excited too
. I thanked the CM a 100 times!! Then we went to the classroom and met the artist Shane. He was very nice but on the serious side compared to the other artist that work there. We got to learn how to draw Minnie Mouse. Both of ours turned out alright. Kaylee could use some practice but she loves drawing and we go through toms of paper in my house. When we were finishing up, Scott came in and gave Kaylee got a magical moment certificate. But that is not all he also gave her a bag with the Disney drawing kit that has everything in it, as well as a sketch book we were looking at in the store for her Bday. The artist gave her a roll of paper to take home and even signed his drawing and wrote Happy Birthday Kaylee on it.
Kaylee was just thrilled even though she really is shy and said thank you to the CM's. She wanted to go back to the hotel so she could use her new art stuff. I just couldn't believe this!! I could never have imagined a CM doing this for Kaylee and giving her $30 worth of stuff for free just because it was her Bday and to be nice. I was about to cry again with happy tears of course. We thanked Scott and Shane a few more times, as the 10:30 class was about to begin in a few minutes. We were really just blown away. Kaylee talks baout this all the time and asked me yesterday if I wrote about her" Dream" yet. this was her favorite moment of the trip.
Kaylee still wanted to go to the next class and draw another character. So we did and this time we drew Stitch. I have to take a picture of mine, I think it came out alight for me.
I called Tom when we were Donw and he said they were waiting to see the Cars by Streets of America. Now he was using his brain for a change. I told him we would meet them there down that way. We walked down by the HISTKS playground and I called Tom and told him to go there when he was done. When they got there Thomas was telling me all about the Cars. Then runs off to play with Kaylee. Then I showed Tom everything that was in the bag I was carrying. I think he thought I went shopping again at first. Then he just shcked that a CM would do something so nice for Kaylee and that her Bday was really going to be one she would remember and cherish. Now he understands why I made him drive 10 hours each way to Disney for a 3 night Bday weekend.
The kids were having a blast in the playgorund. I wish they had stuff like this when I was little. It's really well themed.
Thomas with the Mater and McQueen!!
Of course my kids have to climb on the Snowman..
Then we lined up for the Toy Story characters. Thomas loved this guy.
Thomas was having a fit on the line and said he didn't want to see Buzz & Woody . We made him anyway. Now he is glad he saw them. He Even has buzz on his shirt. Kaylee and I have Tink and DH has Grumpy
.
After We finished up visitng with Buzz & Woody we were hungry and the kids wanted to go to Pizza Planet , which we think is kind of gross but we went anyway. This time Tom did the ordering and I had the kids. Probably wasn't a good place to have them since they wanted to play games. Thomas wanted to ride the tractor, why your at Disney?? I told him 2 rides only.
I gave Kaylee $1 to play the claw machine. She was getting very discouraged when a CM came over and started talking to her, he opened the machine and gave her 20 credits on this machine so she could win. Yet another Maigcal Moment for Kaylee . Well I even helped her some but the claw would just not bring the toys all the way to where it drops them in the door. I swear I always win at the Boardwalk on these dumb games. The CM came back with keys and let Kaylee pick 1 toy out of there. She picked a small stuffed Lady. I thought that was cute since we were staying in the Lady section at Pop. Kaylee made sure and said Thank you again to the CM. Finally I was able to get the kids to sit down and eat. Thomas was even hungry by now since he skipped breakfast.
After lunch our plan was to leave and drive to Typhoon Lagoon. I had already packed a day bag for us with our bathing suits and beach towels in it. This would be our first time at TL so I was excited to go and check out the wave pool.

I can totally picture your fit!
I had a mini fit at Chef Mickey's. I'm sorry you had such a yucky morning, but it looks like it picked up. What an awesome magical moment for Kaylee! I've never done the drawing studio, but I hope to some time. Sounds fun! Can't wait to hear about the rest of your day.
Don't sweat about the fit - I think we have all been there! 
Long story, but on a family trip last year I was a little peeved with everyone, so I took DS in his stroller, said he needs a nap and walked around the World Showcase by myself. Enough time for me to cool off, him to take a nap, and meet up with everyone later for dinner. Sometimes we moms just need a breather! 
Two of my nieces have CF, so when we are with them, we can't go to waterparks anyway (not good for their lungs - too much of a risk of infection). 
hey ho it gets it out of your system doesn't it
in just a few days!!
There is just so much going on right now that I think it will just cause more stress to try and fit something else in. I'm not ruling out a quick summer trip though. Even though I swore I'd never go back in the summer. Not sure I can last until October! 
. My mom found it yesterday when she was watching the kids. Now I'm just horrified that I didn't notice it before. I'm praying its nothing and maybe has to do with allergies. Between this and Kaylee's dance recital and end of school year stuff, and making plans for 2 trips , I'm exhausted.
) so I'm going girl crazy with my only little girl! She is dancing this year to "When you wish upon a star" and my eyes fill up every time I hear the music. Do you have any ideas of a cute gift to give her that would commemorate her first dance year? I was thinking of a charm bracelet that I could add to every year.
Thomas' sounds all too familar with something Abby could do too. Oh well, everyone is entitled to a bad day once in a while.
