Surprised the kids, wife, and my readers w/ a 2 week trip to AoA!(*NEW* 11-7)

[TMGosizk]

What a kind thing for the CM to do, giving Parker the tshirt voucher! It's wonderful to read that he was feeling better after that! Definitely some added pixie dust!!

That's too funny Noelle repeated her previous Small World performance! Haha!

I enjoyed the pictures showing the growing number of people seeking shelter from the rain! Especially everyone crowding under the Wed Way overpass!

And I also liked the pictures of Parker on the rides while Noelle slept! He looks very happy, which is so great considering the earlier tummy troubles!

 

[scottny]

She definitely was not impressed with the princesses. LOL
What a nice CM giving him a free shirt.
LOL. The guy does seem excited.
Boo to rain. Yeah to no more sick moments.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

The manager CM came out shortly and gave me a coupon/voucher for a free shirt, i told her it wasnt neccessary that it was just a small dot, and she insisted that it was on Mickey and that it would make him feel better.

Very, very cool! Extra bonus points for this CM.

I told parker that the CM gave me a voucher that Mickey said he wanted parker to have a new shirt for the rest of his day that he could keep.

His smile was so huge when he found that out.

Love this!

and there must be something with noelle and that ride, she had her second number two on it this trip.

I think we all know exactly what this means.

looks like the magic of Mickey buying a new shirt was having someone feeling much better.

Mickey magic does have that effect.

while candi and parker went on buzz again sleeping noelle and i went into a store to trade a vinylmation, the CM told me that u could pick 2 times from the mystery box, and that if i wanted to pick three times i had to swap on the third no matter what, i was like okay dude, thats a little weird but whatever, so i picked 3 times and traded it, i dont even remember what i got and didnt take a picture because the whole encounter with him was just weird and had me scratching my head.

Uh...ok.

Next chapter we have a little bit more rain to contend with, but the big news was parker was great the rest of the day, not a single sick moment the rest of the trip.

must have been the magic mickey shirt he was wearing.

Thank goodness. That Mickey magic is powerful indeed.

 

[eandesmom]

YAY for magic new shirts and no more sickness. How incredibly cool, some serious pixie dust and what a special memory.

that was some great pixie dust for sure.

im going with she was just so comfy in the small world that she felt it a good spot to go...not her dislike for the ride.

he was having a great afternoon and we were thrilled he got some good one on one time while his sister slept

She definitely was not impressed with the princesses. LOL

even rain can be nice in disney sometimes, you get to slow down and go on more indoor things, and it also seems to help clear out the parks some...they generally seem lighter after that, but it did put a damper on one of the evening plans we had, but more on that later.

Uh...ok.

to sum it all up, yep mickey magic is powerful, im sure it played a huge part in him feeling better just thinking about that moment.

and def. one of the weirdest interactions with a CM that i have had...

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

YAY for magic new shirts and no more sickness. How incredibly cool, some serious pixie dust and what a special memory.

thanks, it was a great interaction and something im sure helped him feel much better as well just knowing he was wearing a special shirt from the man himself.

Chapter 71. Mickey Doppler

While it was still raining just bit, parker and I did one final mad dash through the rain which he loved over to buzz so we could ride it again. He loved running through the rain, and with his giggling i knew that he had turned the corner and was good again.



i like our ride photo, you can see i have trained him well in the art of aiming. only problem is he aims, then im usually turning the car to shot at something else...hey i have to rack up my wins against him now before he gets good and starts smoking me when he is older.



i tried to get him to go behind the bars with zurg and he was having none of that.



when we got off noelle was waking up and we asked parker what else he wanted to do before the end of the day....he requested another ride on splash mountain. all on his own. i was so happy that he liked it enough to want to ride again and asked for it all on his own.

a disney milestone thats for sure.

so off across the park we went to ride splash.

when we get there we see a little line of people waiting to get on the ride where a CM was holding back the line.

I went and asked her if it was still down from the rain, and she said that Mickey Doppler Radar showed lighting in the area.

I looked at the sky and she said that Mickey Doppler showed lighting still within the 10 mile area around us so we had to wait a little longer till it cleared.

Okay that was fine first i heard someone call it Mickey Doppler but parker didnt seem that upset he had to wait a little bit.

So we went into the shop right there.




this was our first time going in there that we could remember, we all really liked the theming of it, very cool and the kids thought it was funny.


parker enjoyed looking at all the toys and noelle was impressed with the wall of stuffed animals that were all at her level to play with.


since she didnt get many souveniours this trip, we asked her if she wanted any of them, she kept picking up different ones and playing a few seconds with them and would put them back.



after we looked around in there for about 15 minutes we asked her again if she wanted to take one home and she shook her head no and put them back and was ready to leave the store. parker said he was good on toy as well.

so we went outside to see about splash.



it wasnt blue skys but didnt look that bad out...


they were still holding everyone back for the time being, so we decided that it would be a good time to get dinner. we wanted something close so we chose a family favorite that was just around the corner.


when we went to orde we saw a display of something that candi said looked good and was something totally different from the other options we had over the 2 week trip.

they had a pulled pork and steak combo meal, with two sides that came with corn bread it would have been a little over 15 but a CS credit...so she figured why not. it was something we have not seen there before. and it gave her some options to share with noelle.

parker had the kids burger and he did great he ate about 3/4 of his burger if not more of it and almost all of his sides, noelle helped the rest of the way with the sides,

i opted for my favorite taco salad, it is something of theres that i just love and really enjoy




it was good to see that parker had his appetite back in full force.

after we were done eating, it was about 6 and the park was closing at 7 that night for the halloween party. so we looked off towards splash when we were done eating and saw it was still down no boats running...

we asked parker what he wanted to ride for his last ride, and he chose.....


you will have to wait for next time for that one.




this report is winding down, one more update for the last full day, then our departure day which was alot of fun.

and a little news on the next trip.

it is a 5 stage plan that just had a half stage added to it, BUT we are now in a holding phase for stage 4 to happen but more info on that when this report is over.

 

[jenny105]

I love Buzz! I always have to be the one controlling the ride vehicle. Always.

Noelle didn't want a stuffed animal? Was she feeling ok that day? haha

 

[KatMark]

It is so good to see Parker running and laughing and back to his old self. I love the intensity on both of your faces for Buzz.

I can't believe Noelle didn't want any of those stuffed animals. I would have taken one of each if I was offered.

Too bad about Splash being down and you not being able to ride it after Parker ended up really enjoying it.

I'm glad Candi found something new to try at lunch. We aren't Pecos Bills fans at all, but I kow a lot of people love it.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

You're looking pretty grumpy there. I'm guessing he was winning at that point.

when we got off noelle was waking up and we asked parker what else he wanted to do before the end of the day....he requested another ride on splash mountain. all on his own. i was so happy that he liked it enough to want to ride again and asked for it all on his own.

I really like the theming there too.

after we looked around in there for about 15 minutes we asked her again if she wanted to take one home and she shook her head no and put them back and was ready to leave the store. parker said he was good on toy as well.

The kids didn't want to buy anything? You should have gone and gotten yourself a lottery ticket.

we asked parker what he wanted to ride for his last ride, and he chose.....


you will have to wait for next time for that one.

A cliffhanger!

 

[MEK]

I thought I looked serious in my Buzz picture, but you might have me beat!

Yay for Parker wanting a repeat ride on Splash and for getting his appetite back. Sounds like a great afternoon/evening in the MK.

Looking forward to hearing about your future trip plans.

 

[Trentmom]

That's great Parker was back to himself and was ready for ride and eating.

I can't believe Noelle didn't want any of the plush


Can't wait to hear the rest of your trip and hear when your next one is

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

I love Buzz! I always have to be the one controlling the ride vehicle. Always.

Noelle didn't want a stuffed animal? Was she feeling ok that day? haha

i know something about being able to swing the car to where you want it, i guess i can never ride with you then.

i think she was just content with her other stuff, and figured it would help her chances of coming back to WDW if she didnt demand to much.

It is so good to see Parker running and laughing and back to his old self. I love the intensity on both of your faces for Buzz.

I can't believe Noelle didn't want any of those stuffed animals. I would have taken one of each if I was offered.

I'm glad Candi found something new to try at lunch. We aren't Pecos Bills fans at all, but I kow a lot of people love it.

i know they were all very soft and cute, but she was happy putting them all back and leaving.

i just hope next trip he remembers how much he loved it and wants to ride it right away again.

im a fan of anything with tacos involved.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

You're looking pretty grumpy there. I'm guessing he was winning at that point.

that is my completely in the zone face...where no one can beat me.

I really like the theming there too.



The kids didn't want to buy anything? You should have gone and gotten yourself a lottery ticket.



A cliffhanger!

i know i should have went and asked if they were giving out any free annual passes with that kind of mojo.

I thought I looked serious in my Buzz picture, but you might have me beat!

Yay for Parker wanting a repeat ride on Splash and for getting his appetite back. Sounds like a great afternoon/evening in the MK.

Looking forward to hearing about your future trip plans.

never back down or give in, have to keep the laser firing on till the very end.

it was a great afternoon and a perfect way to round out the day.

im getting excited for our future trip plans, i can say this we are under the 1 year mark.

That's great Parker was back to himself and was ready for ride and eating.

I can't believe Noelle didn't want any of the plush


Can't wait to hear the rest of your trip and hear when your next one is

we were thrilled he was back to himself again.

i know i was shocked she didnt want anything either, but proud of her for not wanting anything else.

thanks, not to many chapters left but still some good stuff.

 

[Aburns8]

You take Buzz seriously

 

[marvali]

So great that Parker is finally feeling better!

Love his "gift" from Mickey!!! He picked out a great T-shirt! It is so good to see him all smiles again, and it looks like he really enjoyed the People Mover, Buzz, and impressing you with his driving skills again!

Kids love being able to run in the rain, and I guess when you are already wet it just makes sense to choose another ride on Splash! I know you were happy he made that choice because he obviously was feeling all better if he wasn't worried about the drop, and well quite frankly, because it is Splash!!!

 

[Poolrat]

we asked parker what he wanted to ride for his last ride, and he chose.....

You are such a TEASE!!!!


I guess Mickey Magic did it with Parker. So glad he was feeling better and this time it seemed like it stuck. Maybe the pedialite????

I have not heard about Mickey Doppler radar either.

Looking forward to hearing about your next trip plans.

 

[TMGosizk]

We got back Wednesday and it looks like I'm just in time for an update! Yay!!

It sounds like you had a fantastic afternoon! Too bad about Splash being down though! Next time Parker will be just that much more excited to ride it again!

Noelle is so sweet looking at all those stuffed animals! Sooo many to pick from!

Can't believe your TR is almost over! It's been so fun to read! Looking forward to reading the rest!!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

You take Buzz seriously

of course, have to get those wins in now befor he can beat me, he already has a few of the toy story mania games down pat that he beats me at.

So great that Parker is finally feeling better!

Love his "gift" from Mickey!!! He picked out a great T-shirt! It is so good to see him all smiles again, and it looks like he really enjoyed the People Mover, Buzz, and impressing you with his driving skills again!

hey marv, yep we were very happy he was doing better.

running in the rain is fun a simple pleasure that we need to do more as adults, so you get wet big deal, its a blast and makes for good laughs...next trip if it is raining we are just going for it without an umbrella.


yep that confirmed it he was better when he suggested that.
