Yup, It's almost finished. I full day and leaving day. I will try not to be too sad or sappy on the last day or the last night . But I'm feeling sad and sappy, so I dunno!

Hey Scrappie! I also ate there in Sept. I wouldnt be surprised if we were in there at the same time. Let me know if/when you book a trip this year. I'm aiming for the same week again. We'll see!

Happy New Year Gmax! Good to see you again. It's looking like we're kinda broke this year. Not sure we'll make it to DW but if we do, I'll let you know when. If we don't, it will be the first time in 3 years that we haven't.

Hope you had a great holiday and aren't working too hard!

Sorry to hi-jack your thread UMama, but you weren't using it right now anyway!

I have just one snarky comment. How many times are you gonna rehash painting that poor childs lips? Geez and now there is pictorial proof. The authorities will be out front with flashing lights shortly

Man! Being a responsible adult does have its down side
But that just means that there will be even more money for next year! So keep me posted! And I'll let you know what I'm going to do too!

((While I’m teeth brushing and blow drying and diapering a anxious toddler (at the same time!) my DH comes in the door. He makes a flip comment about us not being ready, which causes a VERY pissy remark to FLY out of my mouth and he comes completely and unreasonably UN-corked on me! Looking me square in the eye he says to ME, “You know, YOU are making this vacation truly horrible and NO one wants to be around you at all!!!!!!” See, he has a VERY loud voice naturally so it ALWAYS sounds like he’s yelling at me…but with this volume it’s twice as bad. “WHAT?!? Where’d THAT come from???” So he elaborates. Informs me. Loudly. That I was supposed to be ready to go when he got back. I MISSED the memo and I failed ESP(N)! He never COMMUNICATED this request to me and I was just supposed to KNOW. I was suddenly expected to be a morning person because we are on vacation. He enquired as to WHY it takes us 1 and a half hours to get ready???? It was nearing 9:00. I profusely and dramatically apologized for standing around for 1 and ½ hours picking my nose…which ticks him off even more! “YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE THE LAST WORD, DON’T YOU??????” fighting tears, “Do you want me to answer that, or would that be me HOGGING the coveted last word again?!” ((silence)))

We gathered all our stuff, double checked to see if we had all our room keys/dining cards and make a silent, huffy, pissy, trek to the busstop. Finally we make it and…WHERE’S RILEY!?? Dh raced back down the path towards our room. He couldn’t find him! The MGM bus arrives and I call him on the cell to inform him the bus is here…did you find Riley? He did and is running back. So the rest of us “HOP” on the bus: fold up the stroller, carry Norah and the diaper bag/purse, Dallen takes the cooler and misty fans, and we begin to load just as DH and Riley get to the bus! WHEW? He had gotten lost. He had decided to walk slowly after watching his mama and daddy fighting…he was sad. He had headed towards the food court because we needed breakfast. I felt so bad for him. We NEVER should raise our voices to one another around our children. But I had felt soooo hurt and on the defense! Dr. Phil would have a field day with US!

By the time we reach MGM, feelings are soothed a little. But no apologies. There never is. We just pretend it never happened. Our method causes ulcers, by the way. And over-eating. Speaking of eating…we are hungry.

:

Okay, I just had to stop here and comment.(I just started reading and have only gotten as far as this.

I give you MAD props for sharing this with us! To tell the truth, DH and I have THE SAME kind of blow out on one of the first days of our trip. EVERY TIME! I thought we were just DISfunctional, turns out, we're not. We differ slightly in how things work out in the end. It's gotten better over the years, but in the past he would get mad at me, for NO good reason and not talk to me for the WHOLE day, in the morning he'd go on and pretend nothing ever happened. I got tired of it, so now I CONSTANTLY nag/beg him to talk to me. He now trys to mend things faster(ish). When these things happen at WDW, I refuse to leave the room until we talk. It usually doesn't work. However, once he sees me fighting tears at THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH, he realizes what a butt he's been and I made him apologise. So, I'm sorry for your fight, but I'm happy to know it's not just us.

Okay, since you are admitting...my DH and I have the same ones, and we bought one for our DGS,1 at the time. I didn't wear mine because the dress was too sexy for a grandma - wish I would have thought of wearing the T-shirt under like Utah MaMa! Gotta get some crocs, now, too!

Ya, it's a wee bit to plunging of a neckline! And the skirt length is unflattering. I only wore it that one time. I wish I'd have gotten the camp shirt instead.
Those undershirts are at Cosco for CHEAP. I wear them alot because they're nice and long to wear under other shirts that are too short. I'm kinda modest (its a Utah thing)

My kids hate looking at photos from our last day. There's one picture in particular.. them in the airport, in the fake monorail, looking out the window. My seven year old tells me, he hates that photo, it makes him too sad to look at.

Dont worry you havent missed anything. She writes her trip report over the course of several months.. She likes to build suspense. She has mastered it.

Besides her trip report is perfectly written, and you cant mess with perfection!

Love ya UtahMama!

 

[UtahMama]

The next one is taking a little more time. I only have Photo Pass pictures and VIDEO snippetts!!!! It'll be a hoot! It's at MGM and it's my birthday. I LOVE the street skits that the funny actors do at MGM!!!!! Plus Fantasmic! It was a loooong day and I'm trying to do it all in one or two posts. It will be up this week, ok. We are putting all our videos onto DVD's so it'll be easier. The LAST time we had been at MGM was when DH and I were pissy, so this day really is the BEST!

 

[kinfo]

Thank you Bee, I appreciate the info.

DD turned 2 and we had a brilliantly done party with all her little friends with a 16 inch high castle cake!!!

I just found your report and I am loving it... I know its January but still loving it. I had a castle cake for my DD too. I will have to post a picture of it for ya. I have 3 boys, just like you and a princess on the end of all those boys. DS's (16,9,9) and DD 2.

 

[tinawv]

What a great TR. I can't believe how many posts you have had. It's got to be high on the list for most responses.

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

You did a great job on your trip report and I was so absorbed with it that I read it all in a day - well okay minus most of the nonessential portions. Afterall, there would be no way I could make it thru that many posts before heading back to being a full-time college student tommorrow. Yikes. I can't wait for your last installment.

P.S. I really like how you post the chapters and the page numbers on your very first page, first post. It makes it so nice just to copy the first page to Word and then pull it up as I finish one chapter and I'm heading to another.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Awesome report! Great way to pass the day. Can't wait to read the rest!!
