Our trip to our "Happy place" w/ pics & videos!!*new 7/7!!*Last day Magic Kingdom**

[dismom9761]

You fell asleep tsk tsk
Awful huh....
isn't the only reason you dine there to eat in a car?
Yes it is...
We had that problem too, we were desperate for an ice cream/cold drink about 10.30am in AK and nothing open
We have had that problem several times
You've got a dare devil in the making there
Yes I DO!
Oooooo another cliff hanger!!!

Great update! We want to eat at Sci Fi next time too! It's been awhile since I've been there!

Thanks! We will definitely have an ADR next time I take the kids.

Uh, oh, I sense drama coming!

Sorry about the Sci Fi, but it seems like you were happy enough.

Hi CE. There is always drama when Bekah is involved...

I'm playing catch up with all my threads and just wanted to let you know that I am still here.

Chef Mickey's looks cool but I'm glad I didn't book it now. It looks so crowded!! For just a couple w/o kids that looks like it'd be too crazy. I'm off to read more

I don't think I would go without kids.It was perfect for them but very loud and chaotic.

what's the napkin twirl thing all about? That looks fun.


The pictures with the characters are awesome. It's rare to see Donald at a character dining.

Hope you got to ride Test Track @ night. I'm sure that's awesome!!

They just start twirling napkins,even the characters. Simple but the kids loved it.We were soo excited to see Donald!

for illuminations! I LOVE those fireworks. I think they're my fav

40 min wait! wow! at least the kids were good for you and ya'll made some new friends that were nice enough to do a group shot for ya'll i love disney attitudes

thats funny about what your DD said about the ride being like it was you driving and you only scare your DH kids really do say the dardest things.

The picture of ya'll on Test Track is funny. I like how you're not even paying attention to the ride

Can you believe Illuminations is my least favorite nighttime event. I may have to give it another try in January though.I always pay more attention to the kids than the rides,but especially there first time riding something.

I agree that the Nemo ride is a one timer. I also like living with the land.

50 min for soarin! wow im glad i got a fastpass for that ride. it's sooo cool!

wow, that's so weird that your DD doesn't remember the freak out on the bus. I know some ppl are prone to doing that when they are closterphobic...maybe she's closterphobic and then doesn't remember because it was so traumatizing? very strainge indeed.

glad you made it back to your room safely and in bed

I wish Nemo had been a one timer for me. Just wait...I think you are right and she may have some issues with close crowds.

awww poor DS great pictures of the 2nd ride though.

Thanks!

the dino whirl looks like fun. It's always more fun to ride with someone that enjoys a ride...it makes it more enjoyable for the rest

glad to hear that your youngest DD got such a long nap in.

I can't wait to read about Kona...I want to do dinner either there or at Ohana with my In-Laws next december.

Those are two great meals-Ohana and Kona. The nap made the rest of the day much more pleasant.

even though you say you're not one that's good with reviewing resturants you made me want to go to Kona! Great review!! The food looks AMAZING!! I'm salavating now and I have to wait over a year to eat there grrrr! You're steak looks sooo good. And that ice cream cone...omg does that ever look good. I would've been excited about mickey shaped sprinkles too

thanks for the great review!

and I'm at the fact that your kids wanted to take a picture of your food at home. That's just too funny.

Thanks!!

awesome shopping trip your youngest DD really does know how to shop. Your oldest seems to be a $ saver and that is a good thing that sounds like me and my sister growing up. I was the spender and she was the saver

That stinks that your DS couldn't find a bigger goofy than the one he has maybe you can find it online?

off to read more..im almost caught up

I have been told they don't make one but I may do some looking on the internet anyway.It would make the perfect Christmas present.

OMG! She wanted to ride ToT!!?? You have one tough cookie there girl! I can't believe she wanted to ride. Now I have to go see if it happened.

Yes she was freakin' me out!

glad to hear GM is a-ok and all healed now with no broken bones

Thanks!

OMG I can't believe she rode it. That's so awesome. That's funny the way she told you she didn't like the ride and her "tot face" makes me your daughter is just adorable. That's a memory that just the two of you will have for the rest of your lives

Yes that is the best souvies from Disney-the memories.(wow was that sappy )

that stinks that you couldn't get into sifi but backlot express is a good CS meal. We eat there on almost every trip.

Yay for everyone enjoying Star Tours

I'm not framiliar with the whole high school musical stuff so I can't really comment here but hopefully you talked her into going to the pep ralley so she wouldn't regret it later on. thats something that probably won't be there for long.

I'm alll caught up GO ME!! I'm on a roll today!! Can't wait to read the next update!

Not familiar with HSM??Where do you live?A cave? Wow you are actually lucky.

GO YOU!! Thank you so much for reading and all the wonderful responses.

felt like deja vu, seeing it all for the second time.

Yes it was-I was thinking the same thing.

I had to delete alot of smilies to get this in one post.I will break it up next time.

 

[Trentmom]

Great update Dismom

Shame that Peyton didnt get to eat at Sci Fi, but there is always next trip

I am going to guess that Rebekah reluctantly goes with you and the girls to HSM, but afterwards, she tells you she loves it and thanks you for making her go!

Am I close??

 

[aldisneygrl]

Hey maybe you could watch it with us in Jan. We have never seen it. Actually the kids and I "heard" it as we were running through Epcot last Oct. trying to avoid bus lines at MGM. That is a very funny story that is in my TR that isn't finished.

sorry, I have a hard time responding to things unless I quote them.

Thanks! We will definitely have an ADR next time I take the kids.

Illuminations is your least favorite? i guess I like all the fire. Maybe I'm a closet Pyro!

the giant goofy would make a good christmas present...hope you can find one.

haha I must live in a cave for not knowing much about HSM. I know what it is...Ijust haven't watched it or anything 'cause we don't have any kids. It looks rather annoying so I'm gad I'm not forced to sit through it haha

you're welcome for the responses I'm enjoying your TR

 

[mousescrapper]

Hi Amy, caught up again.

I really love reading your TR it is great.

So Rae rode ToT Wow! what a brave girl. I loved her ToT face...classic. I took DH the non-roller coaster thrill kinda guy on that before it even dropped mutiple times, I think even his toes were white when we got off, sadly I ride it alone now. Maybe DD 8 will try it with me....

Sorry to hear about Rebekah hurting her ankle, I agree with another post "you have an ankle curse in your family" Better be careful! That whole "drama queen thing" oh yeah have that hear in my family with my Re.

So in the drawing class thing, when you said can't believe forgot to take photos of their pictures.....does that mean you can't keep them?

Looking forward to hearing what Rebekah did Indy or HSM? I'm planning on splitting the masses too to do the Indy and B&B show same time, different people and wondering what will Re. chose on my side.

I'll be BACK!

 

[punkin413]

i'm finally caught up! i just have to say that rachel comes up with the best one-liners....so funny! and what a brave little girl! i'm glad GM's foot is better now!

oh, and HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, PEYTON!!!!

 

[pierresgirl]

Amy- I had to laugh! Grandpa with the map sounds like my Dad and the phone! Sorry about not getting into Sci-fi. I ate at Backlot Express a few years ago and thought it was pretty decent.

Hi allie!I think we need to talk abot that unfinished trip report...again....

HI! I got my DH on it too and he didn't talk to me for hours. They get to keep the pictures they drew I just forgot to take pictures of the pictures.The only way to do MGM with a big group is to split up so everyone can see what they want.

Hi Dawn! I will pass the bday wishes on to Peyton.
Rachel is getting funnier and funnier.We went to Dillards tonight and it was practically empty.By the time we left she had about a dozen employees rolling with laughter.It started with her walking up to the woman in the shoe dept to return a pair of shoes GM bought her and saying "you can have these shoes back,they are awful and you really shouldn't sell them to people."

Amy- I had to laugh! Grandpa with the map sounds like my Dad and the phone! Sorry about not getting into Sci-fi. I ate at Backlot Express a few years ago and thought it was pretty decent.

Hi Leyla!Backlot was okay. GP was hilarious with the map and I didn't get a picture.

 

[aldisneygrl]

Hi allie!I think we need to talk abot that unfinished trip report...again....

Maybe I'll do the one year anniversary edition! Hey that would be now. Well, we'll see..

That is too funny! I could hear my dd saying that same thing!

 

[IluvXU]

Great update... I missed a lot at MGM so it was a fun read!

 

[dismom9761]

One year anniversary edition...see you already have a title.Well we must get our DDs together then....maybe not though. Put Rae with a big version of herself

Great update... I missed a lot at MGM so it was a fun read!

HI! Thanks. We love MGM but I might not spend as much time there if I only had little ones...

 

[Momof2wCF]

FINALLY caught up! I love the shoe story, Rae is a total kick!

HI! Thanks for reading...

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

I cant belive that rache wante dto see IJ rather than HSM!! Im sure she changed her mind----right? Yes the face your DD was making after TOT was soooooooo Heath and Javen!! They didnt LOVE it like me Maybe tehre still a little young -A? shoot Javen didnt even make the height requirment but I wasnt gonna say anything, It was only by like ONE LINE so NO FLAMES FROM ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

waiting for your next installment

 

[wirki]

Great update. Sorry you did not get into Sci Fi. I had to eat at the back tables too when I got in. It was not so much a problem for me because it was just my Mom and I. For the kids I think the car is the cool part.

I love the cliff hangers.....but they are killing me
I can not wait to hear how you handle this. You do a wonderful job with knowing what your children need.

 

[Disneyolic]

Sorry about the Sci-Fi. But how dare you not make an ADR for that! I think it's always great when you can say "next time". There always has to be a next time!

Hi Farrah! I couldn't believe she said it either! Its all she had talked about for weeks. No flames here,I was prepared with stacked flip flops if she didn't make height requirements while we were there.

HI! and thanks on the compliments. The car is definitely what Peyton was looking forward to.

Hi, DM! I look back now and think I should have gotten more input from the kids when I planned the trip.Yes there will always be a next time for us,maybe not soon...

 

[Muffinygood]

Just been lurking around for a couple days. Good update! I hope Rebekah decides to see the pep rally. She'll regret it if she doesn't, I'm sure.
Can't wait to find out!

[mickeymouseclubhouse]

Just wanted to stop by and say Amy!!

We're back from our trip! It was awesome! We've been sooo exhausted though and I've been too tired to post.

I haven't had a chance to read through everything I missed yet but I will

I miss Disney already...but it does feel good to sleep in my own bed
