Chapter 48. Ride Hopping

Now this chapter will help show how we do the quick ride hopping in a park instead of park hopping between parks.

After we had lunch, we went past the fountain, not sure of the exact name but lets call it the wishing fountain shall we, and tried to get my best cinderella crown picture.

we ended up stopping at philharmagic, where parker was given the important job of the time keeper, which he took very serious even if he played with the timer the whole time and even dropped it a few times.

he really liked the glasses.

it was getting a little hot out so candi and parker shared a ice cold frozen beverage.

Since glenn screwed up our morning and i was waiting for him for about 3 hours by the TTA and was able to secure a few sets of buzz fast passes, we used one set and took a spin with our favorite space ranger.

when we got in the fast pass line, we told parker to make sure he kept up with the people in front of him, so he put his back on the wall and took studder steps when the ladies in front of him would slid forward he would do the same on the wall.

now i needed a little redemtion from candi smoking me earlier in the day, and i got it...she had 300 points i had over 202,000

ignore the little head on her lap that was controlling the gun.

he actually shot it all himself didnt even let her help aim and ended up with a better score than rosie does.

now our next hope was over to the train, to take a lap around the park. here is the secret entrance to the back trail from the SM ride exit between there and the cars.

another shot on the peacful trail.

ahh the train is in our sights and parker is excited.

the roy e disney waiting for us to board.

whats that a crackle in the sky, it was time for the afternoon 5 minute rain, which shut down all the outside rides and the trains,
you can see the lady on the engine getting the call to shut it down.

which really bummed parker out...and caused us to go into creative thinking mode, to come up with something to devert a meltdown when the train (his favorite thing in the whole park) was not running.

so we came up with a story how it had to take its afternoon nap so we would go check out the doggy in the park...that perked him up, he loves dogs.

so it was time to ride hop over to the carousell of progress.

here comes the 5 minute rain.

now parker loved this ride, he laughed when there was a joke made, and even called out to the dog a few times.

after the carousell we met back up with my parents who finished there ride on SM, and we went on the TTA.

when we got off, we headed back to the monsters laugh floor, which was another hit for the family.

what to do now, ohh yeah lets use another set of the fast passes we got for buzz.

so back in line we went.

since the storms had passed while we were doing our ride hopping back and forth, we all hopped on the train, and took a spin to the frontier country.

while passing the main street station we caught the end of the flag lowering that was taking place.

i wish i could have remembered it and caught the whole thing but there is always next trip.


we continued on the train to our next stop which was the Splash Mountain station, and hopped off for some dinner time.

coming up next a nice little nap in MK

Poor Parker! The shame and embarrassment of having to haul around a Cubs bag in his stroller.

And on top of that - his train has to take a nap (good save! )

 

[GeminiAngel]

I caught that cheap shot you took!

I love Florida afternoon rain.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Hi Dan! I loved the updates! Candi's big birthday bash turned out great! Good job on the bracelet

I love the sunset pics in Hawaii! I loved the silhouette one - intreresting that it was still light after the sun went down! You are making me reallly anxious to hit the "book" button on a HI trip - we really need to wait with moving next year Keep reminding us how expensive it is, okay?

Mr. Parker is such a sweetheart - taking care of grandma

I love how you were able to cheer those scared little girls up! It would be great to have extra things with us on every trip - there are always those moments when kids need a smile and parents need a break!

 

[Millie12591]

Y'all are wearing me out with all this park hopping you did! Whew!

Great job on the avoidance of the melt down, little people just don't get it when they don't get to do what they want to do. Candi and you have this parent-partnering thing down pat.

 

[glennbo123]

Since glenn screwed up our morning and i was waiting for him for about 3 hours by the TTA....

Yeah, right.

now our next hope was over to the train, to take a lap around the park. here is the secret entrance to the back trail from the SM ride exit between there and the cars.

That trail's not going away with the Toontown refurb, is it?

coming up next a nice little nap in MK

I wonder what it could be, since you already did Carousel of Snoozefest.

 

[englishrose47]

Excuser me Dan !!My score is usually 325!!!

 

[ddstratton]

That's a lot of ride hopping! Sounds like a good time, though.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Poor Parker! The shame and embarrassment of having to haul around a Cubs bag in his stroller.

And on top of that - his train has to take a nap (good save! )

well that was last year so we still had hope for there season, this year, not so much.

i know, trains get tired at the weirdest times.

I caught that cheap shot you took!

I love Florida afternoon rain.

which cheap shot against glenn or rosie.

me too, the newbies go running away like they will melt and make more room for others in the park.

Hi Dan! I loved the updates! Candi's big birthday bash turned out great! Good job on the bracelet

it was alot of fun, but next year we are going away just the three of us, to northern michigan for a week.

I love the sunset pics in Hawaii! I loved the silhouette one - intreresting that it was still light after the sun went down! You are making me reallly anxious to hit the "book" button on a HI trip - we really need to wait with moving next year Keep reminding us how expensive it is, okay?

book it and say it was a housewarming present.

Mr. Parker is such a sweetheart - taking care of grandma

he has always been very sympathetic with people when they get hurt he doesnt like it at all.

I love how you were able to cheer those scared little girls up! It would be great to have extra things with us on every trip - there are always those moments when kids need a smile and parents need a break!

i already have 50 more for next trip, so we will have a few extras to hand out if the need arrises.

but i still need to get more for myself.

Y'all are wearing me out with all this park hopping you did! Whew!

Great job on the avoidance of the melt down, little people just don't get it when they don't get to do what they want to do. Candi and you have this parent-partnering thing down pat.

we did do alot of bouncing back and forth, but we had great luck with the rides and didnt have to wait for anything.

some days we do some days we have no idea what is going on, but it always works out in the end. thats all you can ask for.

Yeah, right.

hey thats what you get for finishing your report early, as now i can tell my side of the story

That trail's not going away with the Toontown refurb, is it?

i thought it was going to stay, but i am not sure, and havent seen what they are doing in that area.
maybe marv can check it out for us in a few weeks.

I wonder what it could be, since you already did Carousel of Snoozefest.

that is one of my favorite rides in the park, always have loved it from a little kid on up

Excuser me Dan !!My score is usually 325!!!

well watch out cause he might pass you next time he plays.

That's a lot of ride hopping! Sounds like a good time, though.

it was and i love fast passes, or FiPs as some people call them.

 

[Sooze]

Wow... you accomplished all of that and STILL no Glenn?!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Wow... you accomplished all of that and STILL no Glenn?!

i made a refrence to glenn this chapter, but we actually did meet him the last chapter, it is back i think 2 pages.

 

[GeminiAngel]

The Rosie cheap shot. Poor innocent Rosie, just reading a TR then, WHAM!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

i had every intention to post an update today, but someone, and i wont name names challenged me to a spelling competition so i ran out of time.

i am sorry...

The Rosie cheap shot. Poor innocent Rosie, just reading a TR then, WHAM!

i know it was so mean, yet i still laughed when i typed it.

she is a sport and can take it.


its nothing compared to what marv dishes to her.

Chapter 49. A cozy place to nap, (What if, resort life)

with a wirl wind of park touring after lunch time, we were starting to get hungry again, so it was time for dinner...candi and i had a great meal at pecos bills on our last trip, and we love there taco salad, so we got one of those to share as well as a burger to share...

we like how they give you the meat and you filler up on lettuce and your own fixins...

during dinner we noticed that parker was getting a little tired he was not talking and wanted to be close to be really close to us.

He soon realized that the close cuddle wasnt cutting it, so he turned candi so she was away from her food, and moved her arm, then climbed up on her lab and got in a little ball...with minutes he was knocked out cold.

since her hands were not mobil anymore i tried to help her finish the rest of her food by giving her some bites, then she said dont worry about it, she would get more later, to finish it. score one for me. minus one for her stomach.

when we were done eating, my parents went off to use there last fast pass for Splash mountain. and we decided that we all needed to sit and rest for a little bit.

so we found this location outside the restraunt.

looks like he got a little more comfy and spread out of his little ball he started in.

he was getting so hot that she had to hold the fan on him to keep his head cool, and she said his face was sticking to her chest. funny to me but not so comfy for her.

while sitting there we saw a few things walk by, the first was good, nice and disney friendly.

some had CM's who had funny faces

others strolled by and waved as they passed.

and some played peak a boo.

now the not so friendly disney part of the walker bys.

lets just go with a lesson learned here shall we.

Lesson Learned: Dont wear an outfit to the parks (especially the MK) that you would fit in better if you were at a Miami nudie beach...im just sayin.



and it also doesnt help if you are just getting off splash mountain and are wet after the fact, sorry fellows didnt take a picture, we were to shocked to think about it.


now lest move on to a what if resort life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


lets call this section being lazy and having fun,
a little pool time.

we found that almost every day of the trip while we were at the pool, people would walk around and usually the conversation went like this.

you like nice, we are leaving today and we dont want to lug this junk home want it? sure.

so thats how parker got his buggy board.

a panaramic shot of our routine pool chairs by the pool.

parker turned into a big boy and didnt want anyone to help him down the slide.

every couple of days you could help feed the koa fish.

or play with your aunt in the pool with ninja style jump kicks.

and end your day at your inlaws balcony watching the sun set...i like em all so you get to see them all....well most of them, i have about 20 more from that night.

the rest of our MK day is next...so stay tuned.

 

[KatMark]

Great upate, Dan. What a sweet, tuckered out little boy.

And how about that -- pixie dust somewhere else besides Disney.

Beautiful sunset pictures, Dan.

How is Candi feeling? How many more days now?

 

[mickeyfan71]

Cute story about Parker climbing in Mommys arms-I miss those days. Mine are 16 and 18 now. Enjoy it!
Love the sunset pictures! Beautiful!

Chapter 50. We bid farwell to the MK (What if, resort life cont.)

when my parents got back to us, my dad said he was done and wanted to sit and relax with parker, so very carefully i picked him up off of candi and we transfered him to the stroller and my dad went to the restraunt (cant remember the name of it now across from pirates that was closed and not open (they said it is only seasonal, but it was the middle of the summer so not sure what there seasonal schedule was)

and he relaxed with parker while mom, candi and i headed to pirates.
it was pretty close to a walk on, we moved the whole time and only stopped to then move again a few seconds later.

took a picture of the pirates in there dead lock chess game that will never end for them.

and noticed that you could see the extra set of tunnel doors for the ride vehicles to come out of that are closed off now, at least i think i remmeber there by extra loading areas back in the day for the ride, maybe someone can help me out with that....i though there was 4 loading areas instead of the the two that they use now.

wish i took a picture.

anyway after the ride, we came across grandpa and in case you were still racking your brain as to waht restraunt i am talking about i took a picture for you.

my dad said go ahead and ride something else i sit with him, so we went to the jungle cruise sinc eit is one of my moms favorites.

here was our skipper.

now the jokes are always bad, but sometimes its how the skipper delivers them that makes it really bad, you can have a person tell bad jokes but it is still funny.

ours was on the line of of course bad jokes, but very obnoxious driver, like kinda getting upset when people were not laughing at the bad jokes and getting mad at us. bad driver.

on the way out of the park, the little man woke up and we stopped to do some last park shopping, parker got a remot controlled train with the gang driving in it, which will come into play later.

and we stopped on the main street to get a sad picture, candi does pretty good, me not so much i always look like im holding back a smile.

so after our final sad picture it was time to head out of the MK and the parks for good this trip. But dont be sad we still have one more NONE park day left after this.

i know youthought it was over, but nope one more day.


when we got back to the camper, he was playing with his train and the attach part broke off...so now i was racking my brain with this dialoge going on.

(me to myself)

"oh great, how am i going to make this right"

"his trains broke and he is very upset"

"crap no more park days left on the ticket and i cant go back tomorrow and get another one"

"oh wait i can make it back to the MK before it closes"

"thats going to take like an hour, he will be asleep before i get back and go to bed sad"

"ahh nuts"

"well i guess i will try and make it quick"

(back to real life outside my head)

candi "why dont you go to the store and see if they have another one?"

me "huh?"

candi "the store right behind the camper"

Me "oh"

so the wife who things it through sent me on the way and i quickly go into the store and run to the toy section, VICTORY

they have one, (but it wasnt the same one) and i take it to the counter with the broken one and the reciept from the MK and tell them what happened..she said not a problem, we will return your broken one and buy back your new one. worked out good as it wsa the same price, and the one in our shop was much much better than the one in the park, stronger built and alot cooler, so he was very happy with his upgrade.



we all showered up and got ready for bed.

it was nice we could hear the MK fireworks while we fell asleep.


tomorrow is a new relaxing day and chilling before we go home.

(what if, resort life cont.)

the next few days were filled with more pool time,

going to more beaches.

yummy breakfast sandwhiches with a side of hash, and a bloody mary,

breakfast sandwich was egg, cheese, sausage patty, ham

and another daylight trip back tothe banyon tree.

a panoramic for your viewing pleasure.

uncle bubba as parker calls him joined us.

get gets stuck in the jail of the vines.

and after we take the picture we see the signs that says keep off the tree.

the tree drops some stuff out of it, and it lands on a person.

she is not to happy that i dont give her a napkin to clean it off and make her wait till i get a few more pictures.

and if you want to read hte history behind hte tree we have it here.

and at night we try some artsy sunset pictures through the trees.

that about rapped up a few days there of resort life...really stunk huh.



more to come next time on what if.
