We were at SSR for my twin DD's birthday on the week of April 24th until april 29th.
We got to SSR after a trip to Mcdonald's at about 9:30 pm. It's amazing how much progress they've made since our trip in june of 04. We checked in and went to our one bedroom on the 1st floor of the congress building. Not our dream view but hey whose complaining. We put the kids to bed, unpacked our bags, got out our clothes for the following day and fell out.
April 25th AK: Got up around 9:00am got everyone ready got out by about 11:30 went to IHOP (gagchokebarf). Went next door to walgreens and purchased water, candy and snacks, fat princess pens for 1.99. Then we
had to pick up our AP's and DDE's at epcot. We then arrived at AK about 1:00pm and saw minnie, mickey, goofy rafiki, and donald duck with very short lines so we sopped at the entrance for autographs and pictures. My youngest daughter (20mos) loves Mickey and Minnie. She calls them both MMMMMMickeyyyyyy. She was going nuts! We were headed toward the baby care center when I spotted lilo and stitch outside of one of the souvenir shops so I had DH to wait in line with the twins for autographs while I went to fast pass safari. Ran to safari. They were out of FP's so I ran (with baby in stroller) to KRR and got fp's. Got back to the kids and went to see TTBAB. Just a 5 minute line. That show is so awesome!! Great way to start off. went to the baby care center left DH with the baby and went to KRR with the twins. It was my 1st time on, DH went with them last time. Prayed as I saw the soaking wet victims marching in a steady soggy stream past us. Our turn. Prayed to the water gods for mercy as I just am not a big fan of the whole wet clothes feeling. I was pretty much spared ( possibly due to some artful ducking and doging). DH fast passed dinosaur, so we got him out of baby care pergatory and headed over to ride dinosaur. We did a child swap. I went 1st, then DH. I had never been on this one either (It's fun in a terrifying way). Our picture was so hilarious, I'm a little regrettful about being to cheap to purchase it. After the twins (who are scared of nothing), went on for the second time, it was time to rush to the front of the park to meet Pocahontas. I had a beautiful Pocahontas book for her to sign to the kids. We were the 1st in line. She was so pretty and sweet. She signed and kissed their book and their autograph books. We then left for dinner at Boma's. DH and I were a little bummed about missing out on safari but we're addicts so it's never the last trip.
It was our 1st time eating at Boma's and we will never miss it again. I loved the salmon, that mixed fruit juice that tastes like a cup of heaven , the gumbo, the cornmeal mush with tomatoe sauce, icould go on and on. Boma's is awesome!!!
MGM April 26th They said it would rain and they were right. We ate cereal before we left. The weather was looking ify as we rode toward mgm. We were a little argumentive as to what to do 1st. We agreed on the great movie ride 940 minute wait) the baby was freaking out about 20 minutes into that. Our next stop was FP's for RR. We were so loopy. We went all the way over to ST and child swapped it was then time for dinner at MM's. It was great the last time but not so great this time. The waitress was trying her best not to give up 2nds on the bread with the pesto sauce and tomato sauce but we would not be denied. Then my pasta was greasy and the calamari in it was burned, ( DH's looked great). The girls needed salt and the waitress had vanished never to be seen until time for dessert. We missed our old waiter desperately. It was raining cats and dogs for quite a while so we were stuck when it cleared up we took the girls and each road RR and FP'd TOT. It began to rain again so we raced over to playhouse diney fo the last show and then The Little Mermaid. Love it every time. Came out someone had placed both of our strollers out in the rain. DH was livid. Sent DH to baby care pergatory for a cooling off period. Went with the twins to drop off soggy stroller. picked up a more cheerful DH and went to ride TOT. Child swapped. DH rode for the 1st time. "NEVER AGAIN!!!" He claims he almost had a heart attack on the final drop. We left and got Mickey D's. It was a soggy day but a good day.
Part 2 coming after I ge this baby down for a nap.
