These rides just aren't made for kids...
I'd agree with that. But longer... not scarier. It is hard enough to get kids to go on it as it is. I'd definitely appreciate a longer ride though.
That always works for our kids too.
What is it about you wandering off in DHS with a stroller and a beer? Almost as common as one of Mark's hat pictures.
Monday September 22
After our late night at the Studios, it took us a while to get going. We were trying to get to DHS by 9am to meet up with someone but it was taking us a while to get out of the room. I think we spoiled ourselves by having the 1BR at BLT. We could eat in the room at an actual table and have room for everyone.
Gabby chowing down.
I think that is a smile around her fingers in her mouth.
Bubba putting on his best breakfast face.
He's like, "Dad, I'm trying to eat here.
That's a big table for 2 little kids...
Wow...that is a big table.
We packed our park bags and headed out... I had to take a quick picture of the pool area from the 7th floor.
Very nice view.
We (ok Melody put her foot down) decided to drive over to DHS to avoid any potential bus issues. After walking through the gates, we are already stopping so the kids could use the bathroom. We were walking up Hollywood Blvd. at 9:30 which I didn't think was all that bad considering. Hey we even stopped for a picture!
I've always said your wife is trighter than you. Christopher, we want to see your face...NOT Olaf.
We continued walking toward Pixar Place, where we were meeting some friends of ours. I saw them in the distance so I figured I try to sneak up on them by hiding behind my Olaf fan. I couldn't fool them though. They spotted me right away. I wonder if my head was sticking out from behind the Olaf or if my Yankees shirt gave it away... but we finally met up with Kathy & Mark @KatMark here on the boards. Kathy & Mark have been so good to our family and always send the kids gifts and what not even after I tell her to STOP. She just doesn't listen to me. Of course she brought more gifts for the kids. Thank you so much again Kathy, you didn't have to do that.
And why I went and hugged your wife first. And your kids are very welcome. And I told you UNTIL I have grandchildren, I get to spoil yours. But as talks are going on of trying to get pregnant this summer, this might be the last Christmas I spoil your kids (although they'll still get something...I love them too much not to).
We did take a picture which Juliana quickly photobombed.
Best photobomb ever.
Gabby was just sitting in her stroller taking in all the shenanigans.
And it looks like a smile too.
After a few minutes of talking, we walked over to TSM. Kathy & I made a few overlapping FPs so we can hang out and chat for a bit.
Bubba & Juliana were ready to ride!
Such sweet and cute kids.
Christopher rode with Mark (he is somewhere in this picture)
Christopher, where are you?????
Juliana rode with Kathy...
We had a blast...giggled like school girls.
While my partner in crime, Gabby, wrode with me.
This seems to be a trend.
We saw some old friends after riding... the Green Army Guys and had to stop to say hi.
Those guys are really cool and very accomodating to autographs and pics too.
Look who snuck into our picture....
It was our "new" meet of the trip (we try to meet someone we've never met before every trip).
We had another FP together over at the Tower of Terror.
Mark was kind enough to watch Christopher and Gabby while the rest of us braved the freight elevator.
Redneck pic
You are a hoot!
The ride was good.... but to be honest ToT is nowhere near my favorite ride. I think they need to make it longer or scarier.
I don't think scarier is necessary because of kids, but definitely wouldn't mind a longer ride.
We came out to Mark playing with the kids. I think Gabby was loving him because he gave her some goldfish..
Knowing my husband, he was probably helping her eat them.
We hung out and talked for a few more minutes before we went our separate ways. It was great finally meeting them, but this wasn't the last we would see of them. We were spending the next day hanging out together.
It was great finally meeting you guys after all these years too. And the next day turned out to be great as well.
We walked back towards Pixar Place because Melody wanted to check out the Frozen merchandise in Oaken's. I thought that was a great idea. Gabby passed out so I sent the girls into shop, which seemed like a great idea to them. It was a great idea for me too....
May I present a Cigar City Jai Alai.
What a beautiful sight.
I don't think I've ever read a report of yours when you didn't have a beer in your hand at the Studios.
Up next... More DHS and Does our park hopping plan work?
That's OK... so have I!
The cruise was just awesome. Looking back I wish we did the 4 day instead of the 3 day but we weren't sure how the baby was going to be. She was fine and loved it too.
Thank you!
It is a juggling act but luckily, Juliana is old enough she can fend for herself if need be.Your experience is what my nightmare has been regarding the fireworks. Three kids too small to see by themselves and only two parents. I am just hoping one falls asleep
We had a fun time with them!
and I could go for one right now but I'm trying to be a good boy. 
We had a great few hours hanging with them.
I know.. he was in the pic though, I swear!
Works for me.Mmmm, beer and a sleeping baby.
They aren't?These rides just aren't made for kids...
OK. I'll take longer then. It just seems way too short.
I know.... it is like a standard occurrence in a that's nice TR.What is it about you wandering off in DHS with a stroller and a beer? Almost as common as one of Mark's hat pictures.
Thank you! Kathy and Mark are just big kids. Really.
Luv how Kathy and Mark creeped into your Green Army man picture as well and Ana is a master of photobombing in the pic of you and Kathy 
Hopefully you aren't still shoveling out from Monday. I heard we might get another big storm this monday... oh yea, plus we are getting another 2-3'' here tonight.
Frozen will eventually die down... Not anytime soon in this house though. I think I've seen Frozen over 150 times.
Juliana & I love RNRC. That is her favorite ride in DHS followed closely by Star Tours & the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Playground.
Thanks!
I was hoping for a higher floor but it was OK.
Most times we have a car because we visit with family in the area. We should drive to all the parks except MK.
Thank you! We had a great time with them!
Yea, Gabby wasn't totally scared there... wait till you see the next set of pictures.Catching up (now that I found your report again) Luvin the pics from Chef Mickey's. Gabby's even smiling in some of them
We had a really fun time with Kathy & Mark. They were a riot.Luv how Kathy and Mark creeped into your Green Army man picture as well and Ana is a master of photobombing in the pic of you and Kathy
I know... me too!A problem I'd love to have these days.
You can never have enough palm trees IMO.
Shocking, isn't it.Now there's a surprise...
Am I bad mouthing your favorite?
I guess she does take after her sister!
You did a fine job!
Yea, mine is messed up too. I donno... I'm still trying to get the hang of it.
Are you DVC too? (sort if you already answered this question)
It is.... can't wait to have it again.
He is a trip.
Glad I got some drinking done!!!!
Seems to be happening to a lot of us. I think instead of checking the alerts you have to check the watched threads. I wish they made it easier to get to that.
I hear ya!!! We just got another 5 inches last night. The top of our mailbox was almost visible but now it is buried again. Congrats on the WDW trip! Hope you have some warm weather!
Yea, sounds about right.
We had a great time with them! The kids really enjoyed them too... well, except for Gabby till Mark bribed her with goldfish.
I did????Hey, that's nice...it's NOT nice that you totally skipped my responses.
OK... something is messed up. I swear I responded to you & Mark..... days ago! It didn't post my post!!!!Hey, that's nice...it's NOT nice that you totally skipped my responses.
@KatMark is the genius behind the FPs. We were lucky to get everything to overlap.
I think I always want one.
Well, consider yourself lucky then.Nope, never had that experience before.
+1
She's good at it.Nice work Juliana!
Quit being such a wimp.They just need fewer big drops.
I believe you are correct.
I know... and there I was taking pictures of him.
Mel is trighter than me?
Speaking of gifts.... thank you for the book. We haven't read it yet but we do read the other ones. They are cute stories.
Sounds like my Ana..
We've had very good experiences with them.
It's over wayyyyyyyyyy to fast. Plus I wouldn't mind more time looking out the windows at the top.
Well, it is reassuring that after meeting us, you actually wanted to spend the next day with us.
What else is there to do there?
Can't wait to hear all about it in a month.
You should try renting points... BLT is great and the 1BR was huge!
The notifications have been all messed up...
