So, if I want to feel really good about myself, I'll just go there?HomeSweetDisney said:UM, you ain't seen redneck till you've lived in southern lousiana for 3 1/2 years! I learned a thing or two there
Your family looks like the Vanderbilt's in comparison!
Niiiiiice update. I always get so stoked when I see you've updated. And if I happen to be in a crappy mood I know reading your TR will cheer me right up! Can't wait to read more from you!
I was SOOO not serious. There's people here in Utah I just wonder if their parents are biologically related, if you know what I mean. ok, now I need to get on WORD and do a little sumpin-sumpin.

SORRY! I'm going as fast as I can. You can not count on me to keep my word as to when I'll be posting time frame wise because I have 4 kids and aLOT of stuff on my plate right now. Thanks for your continued patience, though! I love when you reply! See, what a hypocrite I am??? When DISUNC doesn't post for a while I'm a mess!!!
UM - That is why I am working on mine in Word before I even post on here. That way when people beg for more (assuming that people will read my report
), I'll already have it and I will look like a hero. Can't wait to here more.

Utah Mama - I'm so loving your report Luckily, I learned after the first two or three pages not to drink liquids (sorry to disappoint - I'm a diet Coke girl) while reading your reports - I'm still wiping down walls! Luckily the keyboard was spared. Please continue . . . Hint! Hint!

Excuse me
I'm sorry (holds up hand in the very back of the room) 
I think you forgot me.....from page 81, the one who sits here and waits patiently, never bothers you. Looking forward to the next installment but take your time.

I learned on the DISboards to sometime mid-week take time to just relax and do nothing. Go swimming at your resort. Re-organize your room. Do some laundry. Shop.
That is pre-cisely what was on the ol itinerary for September 9th.
All but the early bird (DH) slept in blissfully until 9:30(7:30 Utah time!). DH went for a nice morning stroll and chatted with a fella from Wales who informed him theres a mall a mile's walk from DownTown Disney. Hmmmm. That wouldnt be a vacation for ME, having to walk to a mall with our troops. I thought DownTown Disney would be fine shopping-wise. See all the money I saved? According to my Disney math, by NOT going to that mall, I saved a good one hundred dollars, possibly more! That money goes direct deposit into my magic Disney wallet, to spend at Downtown Disney! Makes sense to me!
After showering and dressing we hopped over to refill our endless mugs-o-love! The last sentence occupied 45 minutes, by the way. We dont hop over to anything!
We needed to eat based on the rumbly in our tumblies and it was brunch time. We mostly had some Mickey shaped waffles (pretty good! Better than Eggos!) with simulated egg product which is yellow and slimey and very iffy. We all got milks with our meals even though we were drinking hot chocolates or soda out of our mugs that way I could avoid wasting a snack credit for Miss Norahs sippy cup milk. I just put them in our mini-fridge for later. I am a tight wad with the snack credits! More on that later.
Also. Have I ever told you about the free snack to be had at the POR food courts? If I have, heres a recap: Get the free peanut butter at the bakery and the free crackers from the pizza place .grab a plastic little knife and put all of it in your back pack for a nice little snack for later. We started calling it white-trash Nabs! Whatever. Just trying to help my peeps with my tip of the day. Stealing free stuff! See how helpful reading this is?You betcha
We went back to our room to get our swimsuits on. Sorry, its really weird ALL the ones of ME were deleted in a mysterious accident. Very weird. It was a modest two-piece (NOT a mom bathing suit!!!!) which was brown and pink with a very cute sarong tied TIGHT covering my danger zone. I did feel quite cute until I later saw the pictures. Whatever. While my family swam in a very quiet exclusively-ours pool, I did 7 loads of laundry. Yes, I said SEVEN loads that each took twice to dry! GEEZ. So in between loads I basked in the sun and swam.
My boys took Norahs "floaties" which were wayyy too big for her (thus dangerous) and took turns with them even though they know how to swim. I guess its fun to lazy-swim? Jordan ended up at the other pool (better selection of girls?) and Norah had fun jumping into her daddys arms! Do you remember THIS feeling? Flying through the air to your dads arms? Made me so teary to watch this interaction. I miss those days sometimes. Total trust. Theres a lot more pictures at the pool of this exchange. Im not sure if DH wants his hairy man-chest shown to the whole world, though.
So the laundry was done and folded or hung all fresh and ready to go. It was time to go to Downtown Disney to shop till we drop! Downtown Disney is home of my very favorite Pin buying station in all of Disney. I love the selection. I even like to visit with the seedy professional pin scammers parked right out side the door. I was non-chalantly scoping to see if they had any Miss Piggy pins. They did! One guy wanted a very valuable cast member pin for his run-of-the-mill Miss Piggy from a set, valued at $4.95 at best. Ill have to think about that and get back with ya!. The other guy (the NICE one) traded a cool Miss Piggy for an equally valued pin so I was very happy for the rest of the day!
We checked out Bibbity Bobbity Boutique
! They were not that busy and one of the fairy godmothers wanted to do Norahs hair really bad! I am a hairdresser in real life (or I was BN:Before Norah) so I have a hard time giving up THAT much money for her to get the royal treatment when I can sit her bum in the resort sink and create an even better Princess Masterpiece for free if I really wanted to.(I KNOW there's a whole princess ego thing there...talk to me in a couple years) Doing Norahs hair should be an extreme sport like cliff diving or running with the bulls or doing the riddle thread! She is not a very still subject. So I thought wed wait till she would really really remember the whole thing and till when money is no object. Here's Jordan texting his girlfriend AGAIN!!!! ( I meant to use this picture on my BLOOPERS photos at the end of this Trip Report!!)
At Once Upon A Toy, we managed to stuff Chinese take-out boxes with Mr/Mrs Potato Head parts to keep our kids happy (which we play daily STILL!) We managed to score the Buzz LightYear , Cinderella, Tinkerbell, Mr. Incredible, Cruella, Malificent, Donald, Mickey, Minnie, Dumbo, Ariel ETC parts! This was SO fun! Also theres an autograph book, mickey head ice cream, mickey head pretzel, pin trading lanyard (!) and tons of other accessories! It was a challenge to stuff and cram it all into the boxes. Only one side has to fully close, by the way! We had bought the actual Potatoes at Walmart for just under $5.00 a piece. Theres also a My Little Pony accessory station. But thats another year.
At the Lego Store, my boys were just drooling over the selection! They both chose a box set or kit of Legos as their big souvineers. I couldnt help wonder if these sets were available at Walmart for half the price (which would really piss me off) so I asked the Lego lady that very question. I was assured that they were not available at Walmart. Still. I looked at her squinty eyed and she said, No, Really! so I believed her! When we got home, I checked and sure enough the Lego set was not exactly like the one sold at Walmart the Walmart version was a different COLOR for a lot less money. Whatever.
We took lots of pictures around the Lego structures. Heres my PLASTIC family!!!! (Acting non-chalant)
At Goofys Candy store we watched a very nice lady making some very sinful caramel apples! Oh MY! SOOOO much sugar. SOOOO sad was I!! I picked up some gross suger free candy and pouted about it. For a hefty sum you can assemble your own character cup and have a Slurpee, which we didnt do just helping you if youre planning a trip. But if I really want to HELP you Ill give you this little morsel of snack credit goodness: These these huge bags of mickey shaped yummy pretzels and peanut brittle and animal cookies, graham cookies (like teddy grahams) and like a Chex mix bag that cost 1 snack credit!!!! Its SOOOO worth it to stock up! We actually purchased our kids teachers treats this way! One bag easily treated all 6 of us! YOU ARE WELCOME!
At the Christmas Store (notice I dont really know the actual names of these stores?I'm totally guessing) there was just tons of Halloween stuff up! I took a picture of this tree I thought was very crafty and also thought I could do better! SO! I'm collecting the stuff to do this next year. I'd need a gnarly christmas tree to paint black and orange lights and scarry ornaments. This would be a neat place to hang little pictures of past Halloweens's kids costumes, dont you think? I havent gone that far yet. Its a work in progress. Maybe instead of gingerbread men, do gingerbread ghosts?
In front of the Christmas store is these two Tweedles that we simply must take pictures next to. Here is Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee with my two tweedles.
We had dinner reservations at Captain Jacks. I wont post the Norah tantrum pictures but see the Boma ones for your dose of Birth Control for the week. But it happened again and again we brought out our camera to capture it for all eternity. Whilst waiting to be called, I took a picture of Jordan who texted his girlfriend about 13,000 times during this vacation. We have tons of pictures to commemorate this troublesome teenage paradox.
Our server was Adrianna. Not a friendly gal in any stretch of the imagination but very efficient. I noticed whenever she was out of our sights, shed fan herself. Which was odd because it was about 65 degrees in there. Menapausal? Fever? Infectious Disease? Worrisome. Anyway, I had the crab cakes, the pan seared salmon (happy it wasnt RAW like at Prime Time!) and 2 bites of key lime pie. DH had the shrimp cocktail (yummy! He shared but didnt know he shared!) and the twin lobster tails and the key lime pie. Ds 17 had the same as DH except his dessert choice was the double chocolate lava cake with vanilla bean ice cream. Guess what DS6 & 8 ate? SmacknSneeze yet again. For dessert DS6 had Worms in dirt and DS8 had a Burried Treasure Sundae. I did note the veggies were steamed and firm not mushy and the rice was not the best. Weve been here two years in a row and for the most part was just ok. I probably would pick a different place for seafood next time.
We had a grand time in the art gallery. I love Disney art! LOVE IT! I found Horsegirls goofy statue. I found a neat sketch of Miss Piggy (lo and behold was mine 4 days later for my birthday! Fancy that!)
I thumbed through some coffee-table type books on Disneys Imagineering in the attatched book store. I also liked the Precious Moments figurines that were Disney themed. SIDENOTE: I dont REALLY like them, but Rons mom who passed away the same time Norah was conceived (dont ask) loved Precious Moments figurines so Ive collected them for Norah whos never met her sweet Grandmother. Theres one of an angel Grandma peeking over a sleeping babys cradle that makes me cry. Since we were TOTALLY done having children and using highly effective birth control, we figured she was sent to us from her grandma when she returned home to heaven. SO! I collect Precious Moments in her honor.
But I digest.
Even though this was an unscheduled and unregimented day (other than Captain Jacks) it really was one of the funnest, to be honest. We yelled photographer sayings when wed pose for pictures with the statue of Cinderella or Minnie and Mickey or Pooh like this, Work it!! Work it Thats right! Show me you mean it! Pout more! I yelled this to embarrass my kids but it backfired because theyd strut even more or strike some Zoolanderish or Madonnas Vogue poses! Note, I dont recommend telling your 6 year old son to shake his money makers loudly in public because it stumped him for all of 3 seconds before you could literally see the lightbulb go on over his head and her turned around and shook his cute bum-bum for all the world to see!! That ROCKED! (he's a shy one most of the time!)
You see, I never dreamed Id be driving a Suburban load of kids (or a mini-van or a station wagon- which I totally made fun of back in the day) or be room mother or a church leader or foster mother, or plant salsa gardens or have yard sales but thats what I do now. AND, I like all that. I love being called "Mother" by 4 beautiful human beings who are pretty good. Though I yearn for a nice fat Disney Vacation Club membership and a stainless steel refrigerator, I really would not trade my life for any one elses.
Next time lost room/park ticket/dining card fiasco (or was it?) AND I finally rode Peter Pan !!!!

The real question is...
Did Jordan take a souvie home to the girlfriend??
My DS spent half his time texting too... but he didn't bring home a gift for her. AND SHE DIDN'T DUMP HIS SORRY BUTT!
Girls these days...
Anyhow~ loving every minute of it!! Keep up the excellent work!

I've got that down as $49 worth of Disney laundry. Were there $49 worth of quarters in that change machine?? Or did you BYOQ?UtahMama said:
Me, too! The teachers, my friends at work, my boss were all....oh, thank you so much for the nice Disney treats! You're welcome!UtahMama said:
My daughter's boyfriend actually bought her a camera phone so she could picture text every second of our vacation to him. I'd say 13,000 texts sounds pretty acurate on our end, too.UtahMama said:

Another great report. My DH and DS were looking over my shoulder as I was reading and both asked what this was--I replied a trip report--they replied a trip report about food I was reading about Goofy's candy shop. Thanks for telling us about Captain Jack's. We almost booked there for our trip in November and now I do not regret it. Isn't it amazing how we go by others opinions on where to eat in Disney.

UMama!! I have missed your posts!! It was nice to see a new installment today!
Ok, first of all, how cute is little Miss Bathing Beauty with Princess on her bum! DD had the same one and Aurora, too!
I hear ya on the BBB... they sure sock it to you! As a former hair stylist, it killed me not to get "involved" when they were doing DD's hair.
I saved everything so I could redo it for Halloweenie!
Great photos!! Cutie pie family!!!

I"m baaaack!!
First I read the trip report... I get interrupted as dd needs homework help. Then I read your b/c report, and I lol and cry. I too have a dd (10 now, thank God, but, she shows symptoms of dare I say... teenage angst - you know when she yells I hate you, you are the worst mom in the world, no mother would do this to her child... and I yearn for those temper tantrums at 3... so she's still birth control... and i'm still mom, and i still love that...)
and about the BBBoutique, I too decided that it wasnt worth the money (shhh dont say that outloud) but my redneck self came out, and i bought the $10 crown. My grandma was a beautician back and the day, and i'm sure thru osmosis, I'm a darn good one too!! (I dye my own hair, and cut it!! That counts, right? btw DD loved what I did to her hair!!! Have you heard of libby loo? I bought their pixie dust, it works great - I can send you some!!!
sugar rush... I have the opposite blood sugar problem, but same results spinning rooms, too much sugar intake, blood hates me... bam I'm out. So I get that!!! Sometimes just sniffing donuts knocks me into a tailspin!!!
lets see, there were a dozen other things I wanted to compare... Dr Pepper here tho, not pepsi, but pepsi, no coke... if you know what I mean...
shrimp, lobster... yep, got that... oh yeah
texting, girlfriends... yep.. also have a 21yr and 18yr old boys. Altho we left them at home, in college. They're not happy. or maybe they are. They have girlfriends. They text a lot too...
Peanut butter!!
your friends. Dont forget you can get free cream cheeses... and jams... altho I think I got those at McDonald's and brought them with me... Redneck Woman... and proud...!!!
Thanks for letting me in - I love your story.

I too have a dd (10 now, thank God, but, she shows symptoms of dare I say... teenage angst - you know when she yells I hate you, you are the worst mom in the world, no mother would do this to her child... and I yearn for those temper tantrums at 3... so she's still birth control... and i'm still mom, and i still love that...)
and about the BBBoutique, I too decided that it wasnt worth the money (shhh dont say that outloud) but my redneck self came out, and i bought the $10 crown. My grandma was a beautician back and the day, and i'm sure thru osmosis, I'm a darn good one too!! (I dye my own hair, and cut it!! That counts, right? btw DD loved what I did to her hair!!! Have you heard of libby loo? I bought their pixie dust, it works great - I can send you some!!!
sugar rush... I have the opposite blood sugar problem, but same results spinning rooms, too much sugar intake, blood hates me... bam I'm out. So I get that!!! Sometimes just sniffing donuts knocks me into a tailspin!!!
lets see, there were a dozen other things I wanted to compare... Dr Pepper here tho, not pepsi, but pepsi, no coke... if you know what I mean...
shrimp, lobster... yep, got that... oh yeah
texting, girlfriends... yep.. also have a 21yr and 18yr old boys. Altho we left them at home, in college. They're not happy. or maybe they are. They have girlfriends. They text a lot too...
Peanut butter!!
your friends. Dont forget you can get free cream cheeses... and jams... altho I think I got those at McDonald's and brought them with me... Redneck Woman... and proud...!!! Thanks for letting me in - I love your story.
