When I left off, we were leaving Animal Kingdom with plans to come back for EMH. Unfortunately we were all so tired that we slept later that evening than we planned and didn't return to the park.
The next day we went to Epcot!! This is DH's and my favorite park. I really love it. We made it to the park around 10:00 am and went straight to Soarin. Tyson fell asleep in the stroller by the time we got to Living with the Land so Brad stayed upstairs. A nice CM let him bring the stroller inside and he sat on those benches located right inside the door. I ran downstairs and tried to get a baby swap ticket for DH to use after I was done. The CM gave it to me but let me know that next time he needs to actually see the baby. LOL I didnt think about that. But Tyson was asleep and there was no way I was going to wake him up. I'll remember that next time though. I stood in line for about 30 minutes and then got on the ride. It was so much fun. This was my first time but I love it so much! It's my new favorite ride. By the time I got back to Brad, Tyson was wide awake and angry. I gave Brad the baby swap pass and I went to walk Tyson. We strolled outside and looked at birds. Then he had a bad diaper and conveniently there was a family bathroom right by the sign that says all the wait times near living with the land. Here's a tip from me to you..if you have a child in diapers, it is easier to take them in the family bathroom because DH or who ever is with room can come in to help. Then you can put baby back in the stroller and go to the bathroom yourself. I preferred these bathrooms over taking him to the baby care center (which was also a great place to change him)
Brad found me and we headed over to the Nemo ride. This was the first time on this ride for all of us too. It was wonderful! I think during the whole week we rode this ride 3 times. When this family in front of us was getting on the ride, the grandma almost fell on that moving belt. She didn't realize it was moving when she stepped on and she kept trying to grabbed the wall and get back to the solid floor. It was horrible and funny at the same time. I felt bad for her but I felt like yelling, "just stand up. you'll be ok!" LOL
After that it was time for our ADR at Garden Grill. We were seated after waiting about 15 minutes. The room was not rotating when we were there. I guess they were having problems. The characters there were Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale. Tyson was in a foul mood. I have video of him crying at Pluto and throwing food on the floor. My plan next trip is to have sit down meals around 7 pm instead of lunch. We'll eat at CS for lunch when he's usually cranky. The food was good but nothing special. The CM asked if I wanted nuggets for him. I told her no he could eat from my plate plus I brought jars of gerber foods. She brought it anyway. I accepted thinking she just brought it to be nice. Tyson didn't touch it and Brad ate most of it. We got our bill and guess what? You guessed it.. a child's meal was charged on our bill even though I didn't ask for it.

We were paying OOP and I was so angry. But I felt like I couldn't say anything since DH ate it. I probably shouldn't have thought it was just part of our meals but I really did. Other restaurants have done that at Disney. What makes me angry is that I said no and she did it anyway and charged us. I won't be going back there. I have a few pictures of Tyson coloring at Garden Grill but no characters because we just videoed instead.
After we left GG, we went over to figment. I love this ride and I miss being able to take a pic with figment. I think Tyson liked it too. After that we toured the countries. First we went to Canada. Brad took a random pic of me and Tyson by the waterfall.
Looking at this pic reminds me that we stopped at shop and bought Tyson that little phone. He loves it. It turns out they sell it at
Walmart so I bought another one and then I found one as a stocking stuffer for christmas from Target. He breaks them so it's good to have back up.
Then we met Mary Poppins and Alice. I love them! We decided to go in the shops and guess who we found...Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore. I gave Tyson a bottle while sitting in that little sitting room by the room to meet Pooh and friends. If you've been in there you know what I'm talking about. It's like up three little stairs and looks like a little book room. He fell asleep. I still wanted our pic with Pooh. I told Tigger that he's Tyson's favorite but that Ty was sleepy and couldn't wait. Tigger got Pooh to crouch near the stroller. It's one of my favorite pictures.
Alice was great. She was running through the garden and calling for the white rabbit. I think she was also being evaluated by a Disney manager or something. The older CM was standing there with a clipboard and writing things.
A very bad storm started coming up and we knew it may be time to go back to the room for a while. I have a pic of the storm behind the big fountain.
I snapped this pic on the way out. It's my #1 fave of the trip. My man and my little man in the our favorite place in the world.
By the time we got to the parking lot (we drove that day) it was pouring. Brad was holding Tyson and I was pushing the stroller. I put my poncho on the stroller to keep our stuff dry. It was so scary. Lightning was striking all over the place. When we got back to ASsp we had to sit in the car for 20 min and finally just ran to the room. We waited and waited for the storm to pass but it didn't severe storms were right over Disney and the orlando news said that it's uncommon for it to hover over Disney like that. We even had tornado watches. We ordered a pizza that night from the ASsp CS restaurant. It was very expensive for one pizza. To our disappointment, it tasted like a DiGiorno (sp?) frozen pizza. The crust was great though so I think they make the dough and then use frozen precut veggies. I won't get it again.
Up next, breakfast at Ohana, rope drop at MK, and a great day at MK.
