Great PhotoPass pictures. I see even mama couldn't refuse pooh and friends. I love the birthday border. I think Simba is fine, I would have kept the picture also.

Yep I hate pictures but these Disney characters just drew me into the pictures I made the photopass guy retrive it a few days later when I was looking for the Simba. I told him that was the picture I went looking for.

Thanks! I am off to update on MK for EMH.

 

[akayek31]

So when we last left you I was trying to figure out how to get to EMH at MK from DTD. I dragged the kids to the bus stop and looked at all of the resorts posted. I jumped in line for the CR bus. It is one of my dream resorts so I figured it would be the only time I would ever get to ride one of their buses. So EMH that night were from 11:00 pm-2:00 am. DS and DD were already complaining that we had to stay that long. I of course turned a deaf ear to them and took lots of pictures of my CR visit. We arrived at CR at 10:58 pm.

So we head to the 4th floor to get on the monorail. We had the car all to ourselves. We got to MK about 11:15. Everyone was walking out as we were walking in and a few people yelled "they are closed" at us but we kept on going.

We go to Tomorrowland and we get DS a fast pass for Buzz Lightyear since DD and I still had ours. Well this is where DS has a meltdown. I can't believe someone would get so upset over a ride being closed. For some reason COP is DS favorite ride and it is not open during EMH. So DS gets mad and says he is not riding any rides at all tonight. That if he can't ride his favorite ride he is not riding. OMG over COP who does that But anyway. DD and I decided that we were going to ride Stitch again. I figured DS would get over it by the time we got back to him. But he didn't and DD and I rode Buzz without him. I think she beat me again.

We leave and head to Fantasyland. I never knew before the Dis that we could go through the castle.

When we got to FL we saw characters every where. So this is where it is DD's turn to have her meltdown. Now remember she has her obsession with Goofy. She saw that he was signing autographs and taking pictures. Well when we were at AK she did not take her autograph book with her so she did not get his autograph. She had it earlier in the day and got autographs from the fairies. Well it got a little wet in the rain and she forgot to bring it to EMH. Well she was saving her last bit of souvenir money for a t-shirt at Ron Jon the next day so she wanted me to buy it for her. I told her she should have brought her book and she said "I want his autograph!!" So DD had her meltdown. So being the nice mother I was went and got her one. I was talking to the CM as I was buying the book with my Fun card. The CM scolded me for using my birthday money on the kids. She said she tells other parents the same. So anyway I take it back to DD and she is all smiles and "I love you" and "you are the best mom in the world" So spending 7 bucks to make her that happy was worth it
Here are some the pictures we took. Oh and by the way my feet were hurting sooooo bad!!

We finally left after 2 am. There was a line at the buses. And it was before I learned the secret on how to avoid standing on the buses. We were on the bus for about 15 minutes. We had to stand the whole way back. Now this was at 2:30 in the morning with two grumpy, tired teens (can you tell how tired DS is in all the pictures?) and two feet with blisters on them. After this ride I always waited for the next bus. We get back to Pop and I swear it took me 30 minutes to walk from the buses to the room. I had to stop every few steps and rest my feet. Finally I took the flip flops off and walked the rest of the way barefoot. We got to bed about 3:30 am.

Up next: We take a day off, lunch is sweet, and dinner is among the stars.

I know what you mean. Notice DS lack of excitement this trip? Well I was on the phone with Disney making a payment for his birthday trip and he was practically jumping out of his seat. He said he is ready to go today

I really enjoyed that you share your trip with us, what a nice family you have.

We are staying at Pop and eating at Rainforest Cafe in DTD too! I am most looking forward to my DS meeting Mickey for the first time at Chef Mickey's for breakfast. We have been talking about going to "KickMouse" house a lot lately, so every time we get in the car he thinks we are on our way there.

everyone thinks my kids are spoiled....I don't know what gave people that idea But by 3:30 in the morning I was not having the attitude.

Aww how old is he? I was going to eat at CM but I paid OOP for all meals and didn't want to pay that much. In December we will have the dining plan but still not sure if I want to go to a character meal since I found them all in the parks.

I've walked barefoot back to the hotel room with sore feet before too!

Been away for a while and have to catch up.

I spent some of my birthday fun card on the kids too. But not all. Just some. Maybe Justin will spend some his card on you?

OMG that walk was so long. It was horrible. That is why I am getting preferred next trip I was wondering where you have been until I read your TR. Hope all goes well and you find your card.

He will be 3 on Sept 1, so we are going while he still gets in free. My cousin is a CM at Epcot, so she is getting us into the parks and got us a great deal at Pop. We don't have the dining plan either. We decided that Chef Mickey's was a must for him! He was born at 33 weeks and has had a tough time. He has been in and out of the hospital the past 2 years and still dealing with multiple health issues. This trip is all about him and will be the first real family vacation that we have gone on. What was your Disney trip dates again? How long were lines for shows, rides, and for pictures with the characters?
