Ponchos, Ponchos everywhere.. Updated 12/14

Oh, the face painting is so pretty! I would have liked to do it, but I knew with the heat it would just be a mess and annoying. Maybe when I have a little princess of my own she'll do it and I'll accompany her.

I agree, McQueen is nice, but doesn't fit in so much with the rest of the action-packed show.

Yeah my younger 3 wanted their faces done but I was mean and said no..i knew it would be a waste. Last time we went Noah got his down in Toontown and hated it once it was on..can u say waste of money!

Really nice report!

So we basically spent a chunk of time just watching the finals of The American Idol Experience on the jumbo TV and doing nothing.

Noah and Kate found their way back to us.. and Noah had his face paint back. Being like his mother, he went back after the show and asked if they would redo it since the weather made it melt. They did and they touched up Kate's too:

We ran into the rest of our krew:

Mavrik says Jadziah is HIS girlfriend. He reminds her all the time and will grab her and tell others she is HIS.. oh boy

12 of the 14 "kids" ( ages 17 down to almost 4) waiting at Sci Fi n Dine In

We had separate ADR's here.. one for 8 ( us) and one for 13( them) both for the same time.. we got seated 20 minutes before our ADR's.. they got sat while we were eating our dessert.. point.. get separate ADr's when you travel in a large group.. things go much smoother!

Noah and Kate we just not in good moods.. I got texts from her all through our meal complaining about how he doesn't love her anymore..gag.. Good Lord the amount of self control I had that night still astonished me..cus I wanted to toss her out a window!

The waiter we had was a little frazzled because Noah n Kate's car and ours were in different sections. I used to waitress..this happens all the time. u adjust..lol.

The chef came out and he was great.. we talked food and the adjustments he was going to have to make and it was all good. Did I mention the waiter was frazzled? Well it was to our advantage.. Taejan ordered a choc. milk but we got a milkshake.. the waiter told us to keep it and got the Choc. milk.. yum!

con't

As we left I stopped to say goodbye to the rest of our krew.. they still didn't have food!

Now we headed for The Great Movie Ride... my mother hadn't ridden it this trip and I wanted her to. Taejan had a whopper of a meltdown..

I decided to just snap pictures of it..he quickly went from rotten to laughing...

We had a less enthusiastic guide.. but it was all good..

then we headed out of the park:

And he's grumpy again.. can u say "time for bed"...

SInce it was so early we got to the bus before the Fantasmic crowds and got right on a bus. Taejan and I went to the Everything Pop store then we grabbed a few Sweener kids and had a little playdate before bedtime!

Up next..Noah turns 17!

Thank you!

Noah and Kate do not look happy in their car! Easy for me to laugh .... I didn't have to deal with it!!!

I could write a whole other report on the antics.. as I've said my son is not without fault..but she was no doubt the issue.. oh well..we survived and I do believe he learned a few lessons over those 10 days..lol

Loving your report! The picture of Noah and Kate in the car - priceless

 

[21hearts]

Yikes mine I can't believe Noah & Kate are still together. And I can not believe that you didn't walk across the restaurant and yell at her for texting you complaining about him. You are a saint! Seriously.

 

[CandleontheWater]

Your group must have taken up most of the restaurant at scifi, that is pretty cool! You also deserve a gold metal for putting up with your son and his gf fighting. It's pretty funny to read, but I am sure it wasn't funny to live with.

Nor can I.. sigh.. good news is Noah just got a promotion ( and raise) at work and is now the night supervisor..and since Kate is still in HS they will have very little time together..YES!

Honestly I wanted to but I was just trying to keep the peace until vacation was over.. she texted me 4 days after she got back and I ripped her a new one and she hasn't texted me since. I'm DONE being nice!

4 cars...lol..

and thanks.. thing is i could ream my son for the behavior .. he knew it was crazy and he also knew I knew she was the catalyst.. but you couldn't even look at her without her being in tears.. goodness!

 

[NewlyDisneyCrazed]

Thanks for reading my PTR! I'm reading yours now too! Can't wait to hear more!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

I don't know if I'm more anxious reading your report about the youngers lovers fighting or the amount of people at your ADRs I give you credit that you haven't lost it yet.

I have to say that I normally hate Orlando tap water and I noticed a big change this time too! Now I did read that the tastes changes when a storm is approaching but I really thought it tasted okay this trip. Maybe it was the heat making me loopy

I have never noticed that Pluto sign you took at pic of on your way out...how odd! Love seeing new things in people's TRs!

Soo ready for an update!

 

[justakrazymom]

[Scarlett824]

Subbing!

Loving your trip report so far. I love your writing style and all the pics.

You are like supermom staying so organized and focused and fun! Especially with that gf, omg I would have sent her home by day 3.

We checked into Pop on the 30th, a few days after you left. We had a great time & it didn't rain as much. I thought it would rain every day, but we were lucky.

Looking forward to the rest of your TR.
