We finally got the photopass pictures. I must say we , all in all, didn't do many shots and if I was going alone I'm not certain it would be worth the $100 pre-purchase. We split this between the 3 families so it was worth the $33.33 though.

August 19th. 1st park day.. just a couple shots..

Just noticed how wet the lower part of Declan's shorts are in this picture.. we were all so wet from that rotten rain..lol

August 20th

August 21st

LOL..and at this point we were 1/2 way done so we were all tired as sin!

 

[MK2010]

I, too, am thoroughly impressed with the pic of all 21 of you! I only have 6 in my group and can never get them all to cooperate. Usually its the 6 year old putting a kink in things!

Yeah I was kinda shocked that we got some good shots of us all. I think because we only did it once it was easier..LOL

The creamer sounds just like something my ds would do! sorry it made him miss park time though.
I agree with you- I'm ready to know who the mother is!

Yeah..i LOVE this show but we've gotten to the point where enough is enough.. they all need to grow up a bit more, settle down and we need to meet her!

After the Hall of Presidents we decided to hop on Peter Pans Flight.. the wait was significantly longer than posted..but oh well. We ended up meeting back up with the rest of the gang and we rode the Carousel. Of course as we are getting ready to get on Monty takes Taejan and they rush off and I can't find them.. I was NOT happy. So I left Ziah and Declan to fend for themselves so I could locate my 6 year old and ream out Monty!


Safe ( and unaware that I wanted to throttle a certain 12 year old):

Ziah and more Sweeners were back there somewhere!

At this point we decided to head up towards the front of the castle and secure parade seats.

Well as they say.. the best laid plans right? We got "great" curb seats right by the snack cart and sat and sat. Missy and Don picked the seats , and have been here 1500 times so I blame them. We sat and sat and ate and sat more and then we were told..parade doesn't go PAST where we were sitting. SMACK!

So we moved .. but the good spots were gone.. grrr. We ended up in the taped zone in the road at the front of that part of the circle.. good times! The Warners were on the other side in the same basic "zone" :

Once it got dark I broke out more glow sticks and made the kids all bracelets. My kids had spinners. Oh right before it got dark is when Eric, Declan, Kate and Noah returned! We had 2 nice families near us and we gave their kids some bracelets and we made sure as soon as the parade started us adults moved backwards so the kids could move up and see.

Oh and right before the parade ( or was it after..I don't remember) we watched a marriage proposal. It was great!

Parade time! Lots of last minute people crowding us.. good thing was we were in the "escape route" and anyone not in the tape had to move..well at first..they got way more lax as the parade went on because people just do NOT listen! I refuse to let that bother me and we let some kids and a really adorable couple get in our zone.

Up next..Wishes and more

 

[justakrazymom]

First off.a missed picture. this one Brian took:

After the parade we filled in and watched the castle show and Wishes... loved em both.

After Wishes we all hightailed it out of the park. I pretty much told my family to grab a short creature ( as I call my youngest 3) and just make it back to POP..don't worry about waiting for anyone as we all know our way back.

As we are fighting the crowds I realize Piff, Dee and Monty are behind us..and not with their parents. I already know this is going to be a BIG issue. I love my best friend but she doesn't allow her older kids any freedom. They all been like 1-2 times a year their entire life.. and Piff is almost 17. So I got a call from Don asking if I had them. I said they were with me..but I didn't "take" them. Piff said they just looked and their parents were gone. Sigh. If it was me it would have been a simple.. call me when you're on a bus back. Instead the kids got in so much trouble. We ended up meeting back up with the family at the bus stop. Poor Piff was in tears.. I felt so bad for her. sigh..not my kids, not my life, still hurt for her though.

Declan was still not feeling well despite having slept for 2 hours :

We got out of the park before Noah and Kate and got in line for the bus.. ( piff and krew made their way to their parents who were rather far ahead of us in line). The crowds were crazy but they kept stacking busses so it didn't take long.

Noah and Kate made it to us and we ended up not getting on the next but because it was PACKED..so we moved to the side and let other people go and got on the next bus. Getting seats is so much more important to me at 11pm than anything else.

We got back to POP and headed to the room.. not remembering what Taejan was upset about but them's real tears so it musta been something big!

We got the kids all cleaned up and tucked in. Noah and Kate apparently had a fight because when I went to say goodnight my mother said they had taken off in separate directions.. good times people..good times. You know I was just so anxious to have to call her mother and tell her that she ran away in Disney..grrr. I wasn't worried about Noah.. he will come back once he cools off. Luckily they both did within about 20 minutes. Of course neither would answer their cell phones..fools!

So we ended day 7 ..6th day in the parks.. the vacation is coming way too close to over for me!

Love all of your pictures and your story writing!! Can't wait to read more!

Would you ever go on a trip with this many people again? Or just your family next time?

i would def go with them all again if we could..and I'd even dine in the same place.the only thing I would not do is get ressies together at meals. That said I doubt we will ever go with them all again. Simply because they are all tied to the school calendar and we are not. I would like to go more early Sept or around halloween when ALL the schools are back in session and to celebrate Taejan and Ziah;s bdays

I'm here too . Just not vocal. I must say, it looks like the girlfriend is very needy. Not just from your TR, but you can see it in the pictures. She's all over him! Glad you had a good time.
Enjoying your report, we are going in early December.
