SURPRISE!.......You forgot the WHAT!? A November 1st-11th 2012 TR* BIG UPDATE!!2/3

[nataliej_vk]

How did you manage to get a LM room in AoA with free dining!!! i wish!!!!

 

[jenseib]

With Jedi training I think you have to go and sign up for it early in the morning first thing. I can look into it more if you want. I have some facebook friends who have done it.

You got some excellent shots of Darth...Party on Darth!!! I wait, I mean Garth!

Back when Hunter participated in Jedi-Training, we had to stand through two or three shows while they picked kids out of the crowd to participate. Good golly that sucked! A lot of kids were disappointed. Of course, now that Hunter is too old to do it, they come up with an organized way of doing things.

My oldest DS did Jedi training in 2011 when we went. He LOVED it! Little tip....wear a shirt with Darth on it for some extra attention. We still watch the video and laugh about what was said!

Loving your trip report! Just wanted to let you know about the Jedi training. We were just there, and my 5 year old loved it. We were there about 10 minutes after rope drop. After having to stop (love my easily distracted child) to meet goofy and Pluto, my parents headed to the sign up. I went and got tsm fast passes, dh rode rnrc. You must have your child with you when they sign up. Even with our stopping and not quite rope drop got her a 4:40 spot. We were told to be there 30 minutes before to check in (they give you a slip of paper) but we didn't really need to be there quite that early. it was lots of fun, and she should have fun!

Thanks for the update. Muppets is one of my all time favorites. You got some great pictures in the queue.

I don't know much about the Jedi training, but it does look fun to watch.

I got very lucky with a pin!

I did some research and yes, it looks like me and the kids will run for the sign up at rope drop. They are looking so forward to it!

Thanks Wanye!

That would have been disapointing! Did Hunter ever get picked!

Kadence has already asked if I could find a skirt set with Star Wars on it.

Thanks!, I'm hoping for no "distractions" LOL,

Thanks! Kadence is a muppet fan. She thinks Kermit is the best one!

Woohoo! It's been a while but I am now all caught up! I le the Jedi training. I wish v would do it butno way she will!

I'm glad to see you caught up, I kept it easy by not updating in FOREVER!
Maybe V will be interested when she's older? Kadence didn't even know what Star Wars was until she watched to movies.

 

[Caretames1]

As promised, I am back. Im done with work for the summer and I will start updating this A LOT! Id better, or our new trip will be here and Ill be a year behind! Thank for sticking around, and I hope you are!

After watching Darth and crew defeated, it was time to use our FPs for TSM.
And yes, this is my score and Yes, I beat both of them again!!

By this time we were getting pretty hungry for our lunch, and that lunch would take place at Sci Fi.

John and Kadence both had burgers, and FF and I had the Reuben and FF. We got shakes that really were our deserts. It was all pretty good. Kadence loves the atmosphere in there, and it is kinda fun sitting a car watching movie clips while you eat.

As we were leaving, I literally ran in to the DISboards famous Tim (Thats Nice) We had planned a quick meet at some point, (official photopass business&) We chatted for a quick moment, and I let him go eat and we had to catch the next showing of The Beauty and the Beast. We just made it as it was starting.

Decent pictures even with forgetting my telephoto lens for the day. Score!

Cont .....

 

[Caretames1]

With our stomachs still full, we didnt want to risk any rides, well that goes for empty stomachs too! LOL We just wandered around for a bit, taking some pictures here and there.

These 2 chicken butts wouldnt dream of attempting these rides!

Then Kadence wanted to see if we could get into the Drawing class. Now, she and I arent drawers by any means. In fact last year Kadences Stitch looked like an angry troll. This time it was Sorcerer Mickey.

Oh Boy, lets see how this turned out&.

I really need to keep my day job!

Kadence doesnt have a day job, but she said it wouldnt be drawing.

John, well he didnt do too badly. Show off.

We wandered around some more, took more pictures.

We stopped for a PP shot or two,

Ever since I found this sign, I have to take Kadences picture with it. We fly out of Milwaukee to get to Disney, so its kinda funny.

We had an ADR at Cape May for dinner, and since we hadnt been to the Beach Club before, we thought go a bit early and check it out. But first, more of what Kadence does best&.

This Christmas tree was awesome! We got a nice PP guy and he took lots of pictures as well.

We headed over to the boats that serviced the Beach Club and while waiting, we saw a duck grab a huge fish out of the water. The fish was just fighting as hard as he could, and nobody at the dock believed this duck could eat this fish.

We were wrong. It took a long time, and the duck kept going under the dock and popping back out, but after about 15 minutes, that fish was down the ducks throat! I didnt think that duck could breathe! He had a huge fish shaped lump in his throat! The boat came and it was almost like a bunch of us didnt want to leave, we wanted to keep watching that dumb duck!

Next up, Good food at the Beach Club!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Yay! You're back on the Dis! Kadence looks mighty cute doing what she does best....posing. Good gosh! I can't believe the size of that fish the bird caught. Huge!

 

[rndmr2]

Glad to see you back and updating!

Love the Beauty and the Beast pics!

Kadence's posing for pics is cute! Those were nice of the 3 of you with the Christmas tree.

That duck was crazy with that big fish!

Thanks! I really missed ya'll!

We were all betting the fish would get away! Boy were we shocked he didn't!

Thanks! I'm going to be an updating machine!

I love that I got some nice pictures that I don't totally hate of myself!

I forgot you had Dinner at Cape May too. I hope you didn't have Susan as your waitress.

I love your photopass pictures. it's nice to go to my computer some days with the slide show going on while it's in that standby mode and I see your photopass pictures flash by.
That duck has a huge fish. i didn't even know they could eat fish that big. I would want to stay and watch too.
So you guys are chickens? no Tot at all?

We really enjoyed Cape May and the whole. Beach Club/ Yacht Club area. Very restful feeling.
When I win the lotto.....

I think we got some really nice pp this time around. And I actually like myself in a handful of them!

It was funny, everytime the duck would go under the dock, everyone would groan and turn to the other side to see him. It was freaky seeing that fish down his throat.

Yeah, no TOT or RNRC for us, but that will most likely change next time, Justice is a wild ride kind kid. I'm already researching the best motion sickness remedies. LOL

So glad to see you back on the DIS Carey, and so glad to see Kadence back to what she does best-posing! Hope all is well with you, and can't wait to hear more.

Thanks! There's a lot of what she does best on the way.

I'm doing well, and more is on the way.

So, we left our duck and his dinner to go and get our dinner. Our ADR was at the Beach Club, at Cape May. We climbed aboard hoping to sit outside, but the boat filled up fast and it was pretty tight quarters. I wasn’t able to get any pictures on the way over, (don’t worry, I had another chance!) but once we docked, I immediately loved the area.

Makes me want to put up a chair and just relax.

Kadence found some duck friends along the way,

Beautiful Hotel, I think that color blue is my favorite color.

Once inside, Kadence plopped in a chair and wanted a picture, looks comfy!

I had planned on checking in and then taking a few pictures, but they were ready for us right away, which was a good thing because John apparently was wasting away in his hunger….

My first plate had a bit of everything, I’m always wondering if I didn’t try it right away, I might miss something good by eat just a few things. The Crab Legs were very good! I went back for a couple different servings of those.

Kadence went with the normal kids stuff; the beans and corn were my idea….

John went right to meat and potatoes. Actually he said the salmon was very good.

Then the desert table…Mmmmmmmm I tried everything once.

We were so stuffed; I don’t know how we made it out of there. Rolled I think.

Once outside, it was getting dark out. I just took a couple shots. How pretty it looked all lit up.

Headed back to the boats, and back to the bus stop, and back to AoA. It had been a pretty great day, and we were tired. Off to bed for early morning ADR !

 

[mickeystoontown]

Nice update! The resort looks so pretty and the food looks really really good. Can't blame you for trying some things more than once. How long did it take ya'll to get to the Beach Club? I'm thinking about dinner at Cape May on our Hollywood Studios day.

 

[wdwgirl03]

Love all the Boardwalk/YC/BC area pictures! I miss it there.
