Team Renfroe's 2nd Trip Report - 1,500 pictures, dining reviews, and DISmeets!

[portocall]

I think your 9-year-old would love having a digital camera! Juliana has really enjoyed hers. I think she's got potential as a photographer!

You just feel free to live vicariously through this report....in fact, go ahead and consider yourself an honorary Renfroe!!

WooHoo! Thanks Alan Poor Wil.. I am so glad he knew what to do. I am thinking that this afternoon rest stuff makes some sense... the difference in Juliana is amazing.

 

[pmama]

Wow, the pool looks pretty busy for mid-day!

I'm very impressed with Will. He does seem like a very mature 12 yo. It's also great that he had his own cell. Do both your children carry their own cell? Thanks for the report on the American Idol show I hadn't read any others yet. Looking forward to your Boardwalk review. We've never been there either.

Alan loved the update !! American Idolis on the TO DO" list for September !!!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Oh my goodness! That is so scary about Wil! I can't believe that driver!!!!!!! And that woman commenting back to your wife! The nerve! I would have stood up and shouted down the driver for leaving a child behind! Arg!

Gets me all hot and fired up!

SO SO SO glad to read he was cool, collected and SMART about it all. What a great kid you have!!!!

I'm looking forward to what the "Mickey pass" actually was...

 

[Luis Rodriguez]

That must have been really scary, Wil being left behind!! Kudos for him being such cool headed and doing the right thing (using his cell phone, getting on the next tram, etc.).

Me, I would have jumped right off the tram, using a particular woman for cushioning my fall!!


Regards,

luis

 

[2xcited2sleep]

the tram story is totally scary! What the heck was wrong with the tram driver and that woman?! Your wife showed great restraint. And good for Will being so mature, calm and collected!

Uh oh... I have a feeling we'll hear more about the special Mickey card. I think I know where this is going.

 

[Camster0307]

By the way, Juliana got Lauren's 'thank you' card and it thrilled her to death! Tell Lauren she has definitely got a little sis in Alabama!

Will do! As long as you let Juliana know she's got a big sis up in Massachusetts!

 

[inkedupmomma]

OMG, I wanna beat up that tram driver AND the rude lady! how scary! my daughter woulda had a mini stroke! glad it all worked out!

 

[bucci818]

Poor Wil! He is one smart kid and apparently cool under pressure! That woman was beyond rude. I keep wondering how she would feel in that situation. No mother should act that way. I would have joined Elizabeth in yelling at the driver to stop! Can't wait to read about the rest of your day......

 

[WillowBelle]

Unbelievable how that tram driver handled the situation. As for the woman, I would have had something snippy to say right back. I'm not normally a confrontational person - but say something rude to me about my kids or how I handle them and you may have your rear-end handed to you.

 

[karajeboo]

Seriously? That woman told Eliz "YOU left your kid???" Nope, see at that point I would have gone all SC redneck on her. There was no need for that comment. Period. First of all, she did NOT leave her child. Second of all, well, refer to SC redneck again...... I'm so mad just thinking about that!!!! Why must people TRY to be obnoxious?

 

[Lady Lallie]

The whole tram incident is crazy! Isn't that why they have 2 CM's, one in the front, one in the back to prevent that from happening? Ridiculous! And that lady who said you left your son is just crazy, people. PFFFT!

I regret not going to AI attraction, I am going to put it on the list of things to do next time!

 

[Paula R Johns]

Loving your trip report. This is the first time I have ever replied on the board. We are leaving for Disney on July 17th. We will be eating at Sci Fi and Whispering Canyon also, first time for both.

 

[shannon47142]

crazy tram ride!! Thank goodness Will has a good head on his shoulders!!
The American Idol attraction looks so cool

 

[lindseynleah]

all caught up Alan!! Can't wait to hear about your time at the Boardwalk....this resort is a must visit each trip for my family. That tram story is really scary..I am glad your son met up with all okay and everything worked out for you!!! Looking forward to your next installment!!!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Your tram story is exactly why I now let Disney do the driving. When our kids were little, we always made sure that one adult had one kid. But, on one trip, somehow, me and the two kids got on and my husband did not. Thank goodness it was my husband and not one of the kids.

Yeah Wil for his level headed thinking and thank goodness he had a cell phone.

 

[MagicShell]

I found your report a few days ago and I am all caught up now. You have a lovely family. I have enjoyed hearing about your trip so far. Coronado Springs looks really pretty, I can see why you all like it so much. DHS is my husband and daughter's favorite park. It sound like you all had a great day there. We are AI fans and I can't wait to see that show sometime. I can't believe how rude some people are. That lady on the tram should mind her own business. I am glad everything worked out.

 

[TigerKat]

So sorry that happened to y'all. Wil seems to be a very mature boy and he proved it by doing the right thing. I cannot believe that woman had the nerve to say that you left your son. What an idiotic remark.

I'm so excited to hear good things about the AI Experience. We're going to have limited park time in October but I'm making sure we head to DHS just to experience it!

Somehow I knew you'd love the Boardwalk.

 

[stepdisney]

Okay.....I'm seriously angry with the tram driver!!!!! I SOO would have jumped up and made SURE he KNEW that my son would TOO get on the TRAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and @#$%%&*@#$%% to the "lady??!!" who shouted back to Mrs. Griswold.

Oh, and I keep thinking of auditioning for Idol but am afraid that my video would end up on some "worst of the Disney Idols" video!

 

[dvc4life]

Why do some people have to be so snotty about things. Don't they realize that they are just making themselves look bad? That lady deserves all the tongue lashing she can get for the comment she made. If I had been aboard the tram I would have tried to help Wil get on! I just can't believe that they would leave a child behind. But, he was a smart young man and I'm sure you are very proud of how he handled the situation. Glad it didn't ruin your evening.

Can't wait to hear about Flying Fish. We would like to try it some day.
