Studios Overload, a Pop Mishap and One Smooth Talking Hubby FINAL DAY UP. PG 68

[Trentmom]

Looks like you took about as many pictures as I did on this day! I just didn't want to get my camera out and have it water logged! What a soggy day that was! Seriously, I don't think it could've rained any harder... it really was ridiculous! BUT ..... it got soooooo much better!

Poor Owen and Trent.... our picky eaters almost starved to death, didn't they?

Yeppers

Rain kind of put a damper on pics

But made up for it later that night, well at least Trent did

They sure almost did..Poor things

Rain stinks! and I ahte when i make a reply and then lose it! I am in the habit of copying everything every few paragraphs lol

I'm really excited to hear about the night!!! way to leave us hanging!

It sure does

Losing everything stinks for sure. I had that happen before, u think I would have learned my lesson

I might have actually finished the whole day, but was afraid I lose it again, then I would really lose it myself

I believe I left off with Trent and I finishing up at Toy Story Mania.

My mind is a bit foggy, but think Trent was hungry and we got a huge bucket of popcorn and big coke, even though Pepsi rules

It was time for our Bil to pick up his friend from work, so we said our goodbyes for now and made our way out of the park.

It was time for MVMCP

I believe we hopped on a bus for Polynesian and then took monorail to MK. Boy that was fun

THe wait for a monorail was almost half hr....we were so ticked.

But hey were were going to Mk

When we got thru the entrance at MK, we were greeted by this

Not the best picture, but boy was it crowded

Luckily most of those people were heading out and once we go thru that mess, it was smooth sailing

continued in next post

Wow -- 30 minutes for the monorail? Was it filled with people or did the monorail just not show up?

ARGH, that photo of MK looks really crowded...glad it was just bodies at the front. It's amazing to me how many people congregate there...If I'm going in, I want to just get past all that mess and if I'm leaving, same thing...I never hang out there...

That reminds me

Forgot to say wait was so long

The Monorail CM let people line up at all gates

What he failed to tell us, was that he was only opening the one gate all way at other end

So evne though we were there first, all people down end go on and we didnt

We were so annoyed and Steve let that guy know it, while I crept slowly away

Yeah, I would never want to hang out in a crowd that large.. No Thank U

 

[Marshay]

I totally forgot about that

Nope..

NOTE TO ALL....THAT IS NOT A CIGARETTE IN MY HAND

THAT IS A FOLDED UP MAP OR SOMETHING...

Glad Trent like BTMR!

Yep, it sure does look like a ciggie!

We went two days with no stroller, so decided to get him one. Boy did that make a difference.. My happy boy was back

I thought for sure Trent would want to go see The Caballeros. But he said NO thank You

We had ADRs in an hr, so we decided to head over to UK, since they were at Rose and Crown.

This is good to hear re: stroller. Rachel will turn 5 on our next trip and I wanted to bring a stroller for her along -- this confirms it. WDW is just too much walking for small legs.

We got stuck doing the Mexico boat ride 3x in a row -- thankfully it wasn't busy so they just let us ride it again and again. Rachel loved it!

UG. So you don't recommend Rose and Crown? I've never been here before and we are planning our big birthday dinner here. Would you recommend we try to get outdoor seating or is it nicer inside? We have a ressie at 7:20pm for 10 and I'm hoping we'll be around to watch Illuminations from there (either from our table or I heard there is a place to go outside on the patio to watch them if you are eating there)...

Well, Steve should know, right? Didn't he work the monorails before?

I would have complained too and it would be Jerry creeping away...

Trent loved Gran Fiesta last year. Just was not that into it this year

Well, I think the rain put a damper on our experience.

If you have nice weather and not raining, then I recommend sitting out on the patio.

Defintely bring her stroller.

I asked him that.

He said no, they always opened up all the gates,. He never did that before while he worked there. It made no sense.

The girl Cm actually started to open the other gates and the guy told her no and to only open one and she looked baffled

I just was not in mood for bring my Tude out

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

hey UJ! I am glad you are just CAUGHT UP....and not CAUGHT UP A TREE

HA!!!

time to ice fish !!!!!!

You ARE kidding, right?

Lets try this again

I had the first half all done and lost it

We woke up to a dreary overcast sky.

While the boys slept, I ran down to food court and grabbed us breakfast.

I got pancakes for Trent and french toast for myself.

Steve is not really a breakfast person, so didn't get him anything

Once I got back to room, I woke them up and we all ate.

Once we were done and dressed, we hightailed it to the bus

On to Epcot

We normally like to hit SE first, but there was a huge line. U know the weather is bad, when that has a line

We went to Journey Into Imagination instead. Not Trent's favorite, made evident by his whining, but he got over it

Aft we were done there, Trent was tired and whiny.

We went two days with no stroller, so decided to get him one. Boy did that make a difference.. My happy boy was back

After that we went to Soarin. It had about a 70 min wait, but we only waited about 45 mins. Trent actually did not complain at all in line.

That ride was awesome as you all know I am sure. We grabbed FPs for later

Next we went to Living With the land. This ride reallly does nothing for me, but my boys love it, so I took one for the team

After the land, we decided to head to the countries.

I thought for sure Trent would want to go see The Caballeros. But he said NO thank You

We went to Maelstrom instead and had fun. Very cute ride if u have not tried it

By now it is pouring

We had ADRs in an hr, so we decided to head over to UK, since they were at Rose and Crown.

There was a toy store there, so we went there so Trent could play and we could stay dry

They had a Thomas The Tank Engine train table there and Trent was in heaven

He played very nice with all the various kids who came in there.

While Steve was walking around, look at what pretty lady he ran into

Once it got closer to our adr, we began the process of telling him 20 more mins..

Once it was time to leave, he didnt throw a fit, but hewas not happy

We went and checked into Rose and Crown. We only had to wait about 5 mins thank god.

She sat us in the patio. She assured us it was fine, as it was covered with a tarp.

Well, hello, what about the large gap in the tarp right at our table

SO now we are wet and cold..not happy

Trent was not happy with kid choices, so this was not going well. We asked if they could make a grilled cheese and they could.. WOO HOO...All was right again in his world

I had the fish and chips. I think Steve had Banger Mash or something like that. The food was okay. Nothing to write home about.

Our waitress stunk. She had a bit of an attitude and barely saw her through the meal

Sorry to those that like it here, but we give it two thumbs down

We still had an hr til it was time for our FPs to be good for Soarin, so we headed over to SE and took a ride on that.

That ride never gets old..so much fun

After that we went to Mouse gear and spent about 45 mins looking around and drying off.

When it was time, we took one more spin on Soarin. So much fun of course

We were wet and had enough for the day, so we called it a night at Epcot.

But we were very excited for that night...Stay tuned to find out why

I know even I still get tired walking around Disney World, especially in Epcot. Wouldn't it be nice if they had strollers for adults? I bet Trent was so much happier when he got to ride around in the stroller.

Good for you for taking one for the team!

WTH? They gave you a table that was in the rain? They should know not to do that when it's raining. I'm not a fan of eating outside anyway, but it must have been miserable in the rain!

I've never really had any desire to try R&C. I mean, it would probably be a nice spot to be when they're doing Illuminations, but to eat there...no thanks. At least I know they can make grilled cheese now in case I ever get unwillingly dragged into there.

I have STILL never been on SE!

So, was there a long wait time for Soarin?

OOOh, what happens tonight???

 

[Trentmom]

HA!!!

Hey Nikki

I wish they had strollers for adult, especially in Epcot, that be awesome

Well we are not in the rain per say, they had tarps up, but huge gap between two tarps was right next to our table...it was cold..Brrrrrrrr

Darn girl....U need to get yourself o SE...that ride is a classic.

I will update this weekend, maybe tnite if I am really bored

The girl Cm actually started to open the other gates and the guy told her no and to only open one and she looked baffled

I just was not in mood for bring my Tude out

I was reading another trip report where the CM did the same thing for the monorail -- lined up folks at all the gates but then only opened one of them so those in line first ended up waiting.

WTH?? I'd expect that at Six Flags or so, but not Disney?!?

Definitely not right and definitely not something that should happen in Disney

 

[Trentmom]

Okay...I think we left off that we finished up at Epcot and took a bus back to Pop

Well, we stopped at the food court and got some food, as we were hungry again as our adr was early that day.

I forget what we got, but probably grilled cheese for Trent, Cheeseburger for me and maybe meatloaf or some sort of sandwhich for Steve.

We decided to take it back the room, since we were a little bit damp from rain.

We are walking out of the food court and down the stairs. I am carrying one tray and trying not to trip and did not see the Giant Lake, not puddle, LAKE!~!~!!!

I stepped right into and it went up to the middle of my shin.

I say my fair share or curses here or there, but I was mad...so mad that out came the F Bomb

Sorry if anyone heard it, but could not help myself


We get back to the room and try and blow dry my sneakers and pants and it is just not working.

Then it came to me...why not iron my Jeans...

Well, my sweet hubby did it for me as he knew I was still super annoyed and not a good idea to give me a hot iron in my state of mind


After about ten minutes, my jeans were all nice and warm and dry.. Thank U Hubby

Once that was done, we all settled down to eat and watch some tv.


You are probably thinking..What??? Watching tv is your exciting night ?


Well normally it is back at home, but not tonight baby.....
















WE HAD A DISMEET AT 10 PM







When it got closer to ten, we got ourselves (or I should say me) ready and we all went down to the food court.

We were originally to meet at Petals Bar at the Pool, but that was not happening with the rain we were having

As we were walking to the food court, a guy was coming out of the area, I looked at him and he looked at me.

You know it was that awakardness, like Is that Him? Gosh, I Hope so, as I dont want to say something to him and not be the right person

Well, He beat me to the Punch...He goes Kelly, Is that you?

I said Yes, John???

He goes Yep.

He was one part of our dismeet.

He is known as 1gr8Mouse on here

Here is his pic for you all..

Continued from last post...


John leads us to the table and see Nicole, known as Lovebuzzandwoody, Tomato, her husband(inside joke) her daughter and her twin boys.

Then there was her Sister(who john is married to) and their Mom

She got up and gave me a great big hug.

We started talking as soon as we sat down and never had a lull in coversation.

Nicole and i had been talking for almost 2 years. We met on a TR online about 2 yrs ago and we just clicked.

It felt like we had known each other forever.

We were still waiting on two more people for our meet.

One is Carla known as Leger13 and her husband Chris.

I had also met Carla on the same TR and we too clicked.

We have a clique thread on here, Carla, myself and Nicole and John are part of.

I don't want to leave anyone out, so, there is also my mom (Disneymommom), Nikki (Tat2disneymom), Cheri (Cherbear), Betsy (BetsyWDW), Marsha (Marshay) and Michele (Kaoden).

They are a bunch of amazing women and one man and am so glad to have met them.

Okay, enough of that sappy stuff.


After a little while, Carla, Chris and their two friends who are locals, James and Becca met us.

I gave Carla a big hug, cause that what I do

It too felt like we had known each other forever.

We all had such a nice time, chit chatting and a lot of laughter with this bunch.

Steve and Chris got along real well, as did John as they are all in same line of work.

Here is a shot I got of Steve on left and chris on the right deep in conversation

After awhile, Nicole's two boys and husband went to arcade and then I sent Steve and Trent, as I knew Trent would want to play some games too.

After a little bit, Carla, Chris and her friends left as they had long day and were tired. We bid them goodbye and I knew I would see them later on

Nicole, myself and John chatted for awhile.. Her sil and mother sat down at the other end. I asked them to join us, but her sil said they were anti social...


Before everyone left, we got a nice group shot of Carla, myself and Nicole

Well it was nearing midnight and food court was going to close and everyone was tired, so we all called it a night.

Nicole was kind enough to bring Carla and I gifts. She is so sweet. She got me a cool Shark Keychain, as some people know me as Sharky on here. Most people know why

We had hoped to see them over the weekend, but we never ended up meeting, always missing each other by minutes in the park.

Now what fun would this TR be, without some more pics by Trent. Here they are for your viewing pleasure:

Either Steve or John's arm

Our Table

Either Steve or John's sneakers

Trent's shoes


One more as a way to say Peace Out on this update

 

[Marshay]

Trent's pics make me laugh -- particularly the one of his feet!!

YEAH, YEAH!! You all got to meet up. This is sooo super cool. How fun to finally see each other from DIS. I'm still hoping to meet up with some of you someday...

Anti-social? I assume they were joking? or just giving you girls some DIS buddy time.

YUCK -- sorry, you stepped into the lake!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

YOU said the "f" word?? I don't believe it!

I didn't even think of the fact that all the guys are in the same line of work. Well, except for Tomato. I wonder if he felt left out. Oh, and were y'all calling him Tomato the whole time. If so, how did he like that??

Trent is too funny. I love the things he takes pictures of! I just wonder what's going through his little mind that makes him take pictures of these things.

Glad u enjoyed Trent's pics

We don't like that far from each other, so hopefully soon, maybe if you go down the shore

They were joking and they had their feet propped up. I think they were just too comfortable to move

I break the F out when I am really mad....

We didn't call him Tomato until about half way into our meet....he thought it was funny...I think

I wonder that too what he is thinking when he pics out things to take pictures of

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

YAY you were bored enough to update!

This was my FAVORITE update so far!

We had such fun! I loved Trent! He was telling me all kinds of stories and I was in heaven hanging on his every word! You all know how I love me a little boy!

Tomato was fully prepared to be called that and he was a good sport. I think it makes him feel special that we have a nickname for him... makes him feel loved.

Thank you for leaving out the part where my teenager conned her Dad out of 10 bucks.

Yeah, my mom is away for the weekend and Steve is working and was waiting on Carla to get home, so was bored...u were lucky

My favorite one too

Aww..We do think Tomato is special

He really enjoyed talking to you too. I Loved how he called you Miss Cole

I totally forgot about your dd...

That is rather shocking. I just cannot imagine Kelly saying it.

 

[kaoden39]

Kelli, I love Trent's "eye" with the camera. He is wonderful.
