That's the Second Biggest Double Stroller I've Ever Seen- A Dec 2010 TR

[MImommy]

Too funny! I agree that pigtails are the way to go. I love that I teach little kids and can still wear them to work. I wonder what would have happened if you said they weren't your kids. Would they have turned you away?

I feel your pain!!! I don't get it so much anymore, but in my mid to late 20's I had to constantly tell people my age! Once I was at Sam's club when I was REALLY, REALLY pg with Finn. He was 10 lbs and I was 8.5 months pregnant. I looked like a 24/7 emergency. Anyway, my nieces were in town and they were walking on either side of the cart chatting away with me. Sophie was in the large basket part (yes, I know, she doesn't belong in there) and Ethan was in the seat part. I looked VERY young. And it looked like I had 4 kids and was about to pop out my 5th. I literally stopped dead in my tracks and looked around and there was a couple staring at me. Then I looked the other way and someone was actually POINTING! To top it all off, everyone else deserted me, so I looked like I was quite possible single. Normally I would have been mortified, but it was really funny. I'm sure I would have been whispering to Scott in the same situation. I just smiled and then I rubbed my belly. My family found it quite amusing as well. It's when it STOPS happening that you feel bad. I've stopped getting carded for R rated movies (at least the 1 I've been to in the past several years!). Take some comfort in the fact that we'll look really good when we're 40!

That is pretty funny, although I am surprised you were able to be amused when pregnant. I don't think I would have been able to laugh at it then.

It's been several years now since I have been offered a kids menu at restaurants, so that is something. And I guess looking younger is better than looking older.

I understand what you mean about the hair, it's a struggle to keep it under control at WDW. Ponytails are convienent, but unless want to take your hair down during a ride and then redo it once the ride's complete, it is a pain.

Sorry the security guard thought you were a teenager, I know it can become frustrating after awhile. I had to pick up my brother from high school one day, and the secretary mistook me for a student (I am just shy of 21). Hopefully, you didn't get too much more of that on your trip.

Landon is a ponytail hazard. He really loves pulling hair, so when my hair is in a ponytail, he tries to grab it and succeeds in pulling strands loose. In pigtails, at least he can grab a whole pigtail and the hair all remains secured.

I think it helps when I am with Jeremy. Then, people look at us and think oh, what a nice little family. When it's just me and the boys, they look at us and think, wow a teenage mom with two babies.

Too funny! I agree that pigtails are the way to go. I love that I teach little kids and can still wear them to work. I wonder what would have happened if you said they weren't your kids. Would they have turned you away?

Pigtails are so comfortable. I don't know what would have happened it I said they weren't mine. Something interesting to try next time, I guess. Maybe I looked like their big sister or something.

They do look nice all cozy in the stroller. It was so cold a few nights, I wished I could get in with them.

Chocolate croissant...that sounds delicious...but then again so did the red velvet cupcake....

Okay...so...what is it? It's a small world? I can't think of anything else!

We did the same "no way in heck am I waiting through this" move at GMR in May. The posted wait time was 20 min., but it was obviously taking more time than that and the girls were getting antsy. We bailed. Plus, the only movie they would recognize would be Mary Poppins, and that's not a huge scene or anything. At least we know our kids' limits.

I've gotta say, it's so funny seeing your kids bundled up at WDW, mostly because I've never been when it's anywhere near cold!! It's unimaginable to me! I'm thinking we need a middle of winter trip so FL can prove it can be cold.

I love your TR, thank you for sharing all your memories with us ! I particularly love TR from people who have small kids, its ALWAYS an adventure huh?
Cant wait for more

 

[Nermel9]

Mmmm those cupcakes at Starring Roles sound so good! I always forget about them when I'm there, I would have tried one, even if it was early in the morning!

Cute Vinylmation...I was thinking it's from It's a Small world also!

All caught up again

Looking at the kids all bundle up reminds me of our trip in Dec and I will never complain about the heat again when we go in the summer. Doesn't the cold seem to suck the energy out of every ride decision? I just hated unloading them from the stroller when they were all nice and toasty.

I have never been to Earl of Sandwich when it has not been packed like that, but luckily when we have gone we just eat outside. The place is just always hoppin.

Too bad you didn't get to take them on the Movie Ride. DH insists that we must go on that ride every trip.

And ITA with the others it definatly reminds me of a small world.

I do hope to try that red velvet cupcake sometime. But the chocolate croissant was good too.

Thanks! They did look cute in their winter clothes.

I definitely think it was the right decision to skip GMR. Even if we could have made it through the wait and the ride, the part at the very end with all the movie clips would have been miserable for the boys. I do wish there were more rides for little kids at DHS. It would sort of take the pressure off Toy Story Mania.

It is kind of strange to be at WDW in the cold. I think I prefer the heat.

I found it online as part of the Cutesters series- Nested Doll. I guess that could be from It's a Small World. Sometimes I wish the Vinylmations came with an explanation of the artist's intent.

Hi! I'm glad you enjoy my TR! Traveling with small kids is definitely an adventure. We've had quite a few adventures with our boys so far. Thanks for reading!

I never forget the cupcakes at Starring Rolls! I think they are always in the back of my mind at DHS. You know, if there's time later...

Small World or not, it was a big improvement over the white eyeball one.

I agree about never complaining about the heat again! The cold weather did make it kind of hard with the boys. Sometimes, it really just didn't seem worth it to take them out of the stroller and onto a ride. We are planning on not going back in the winter til they are no longer of a stroller age.

I think eating outside at EOS would be much more pleasant. Or even better, getting sandwiches to take back to the room. Maybe that's what we should have done that night.

I do like the GMR. When I was younger, I actually decided to go out and watch all of the movies featured on the GMR, so I'd know them all. I've seen them all, except for Footlight Parade, which I can't find anywhere. Maybe it's too old.

Guess it's unanimous! My Small World Vinylmation was pretty cute.

Starring Rolls is such a great place to sit for coffee! I love its location being right there on the corner!

I hate that you guys felt so tied down at HS. I think it must be a harder park to tour with the little ones- especially in a stroller! The playground might have been a fun diversion- did you ever get to it?

Did you try rider swap for the kids at ToT or RnRC??

Starring Rolls was one of the best parts of our day. I think it has a lot of atmosphere.

I think the cold weather was getting to us a bit, as well. I thought the playground would be better later in the day, when it was a little warmer.

We didn't try rider swap for ToT or RnRC. We probably should have, it would have been better than what we did. But it can be a intimidating proposition to do try rider swap when the boys are both awake. They can be a handful for one person and we were hoping to get to ride together when my family was there to watch the boys for us.

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH, a cliffhanger!!! I hope I get to hear the end of this story very soon- like tonight??? OWIE!!!! OWIE!!! OWIE!!!

 

[Fantasyland Mom]

Oh, no!! Poor baby! I hope he's okay! I would have no idea what to do. I know I should always be prepared, but I would draw a blank in that situation.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Oh no! What a terrible thing to happen, let alone at Disney!

 

[Nermel9]

OMG! Poor Carter! What a terrible thing to have happen on vacation! I wouldn't know where to bring him either, I know I wouldn't be thinking straight in an emergency!
