The "Im not going back again" trip report **update 8/27**

[jillybeene71]

its been so long since ive posted i have no clue what day im on or what so im going by the order of my pics....i think where i last left off was pastamore (bad, bad restaurant)
On one of the 2 or so days we went to Islands...we caught a seuss show. heres Kaitlyn with a who

i was surprised to see this. I didnt see that they had this show going on before we left. It was a nice surprise.

it was a cute show

so while walking I decided that I would ride dueling dragons...no time to change my mind i was ready. big ds took little ds to If i ran the zoo and kaitlyn and I went to lost continent.
something was not right...when i saw this i stopped dead and looked confused...this lady looked at me and laughed. She explained to me what was going on.

a little further on i see this...

what the #$%@!!!
ok now i understand...I was still in shock. not 2 days earlier there was no bridge detour...no fence. we walked to straight through to Jurassic park.
so I ride DD (ice) and it was ok...i didnt vomit or close my eyes.
we head back to "if i ran the zoo" and got a few pics of the ds's
you can tell this kids got class

i also have to stick this pic in because I ate one of these each night when we left the park...I ate 7 of these...i will not apologize for it.

photobucket is on drugs right now because its telling me my account is invalid...so no more pics till i get that straight.
that was a short report...sorry!! next Hard rock cafe and some other stuff i wont remember till i see the pics again. lol

thank you. Im glad you like it. I wanted to do more, but photobucket flipped out on me right in the middle of the report. I had to reset my password and all that junk so tomorrow i will try to get at least another day or two out. hopefully finish it.
oh and thanks about Kaitlyn...that was sweet.

day whatever
we left ioa and went to hard rock for lunch...this place was good, but slow. it took forever for the bill or refills on drinks. but it was still good
I had the potato skins...they were awesome the bacon was crispy

ryan had the twisted mac and cheese. he did not like it, but he doesnt eat anything. I ate most of it and i thought it was great.

Dustin had the quesadillas. he was doing the thumbs up sign but it got cut out some kind of way. and i didnt remember to take the pic till he was almost done

so we walked to the bus stop by the studios and took the bus back to RP...here are some different views taken where the bus drops you off at rp

so coming up is Wednesday the 9th of July because we went to Hard Rock hotel for the dive in movie. Now RP concierge call HR while I was there and told me Wed night the Goonies would be playing, we LOVE the Goonies. So I made plans to be there. When we got there they were playing pool games.

the kids played in the pool for a while and Kaitlyn and I ordered from the Beach Club (oops i didnt get pics) but i did get a pic of the slide

so then the guy announced the movie would be starting in a few minutes and the movie would be The Cat in the Hat. WHAT THE #$^&!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh H...E....double hockey sticks No!!!!!
I was disappointed and sad. but the kids wanted to stay so...we did.

Right before the movie started the kids had to get out of the pool because of lightening. it remained closed till we left half way through. The dvd kept messing up and stopping, kids were getting agrivated...haha hard rock thats what you get for switching movies on me. (sorry that was me acting like a 7 year old)
next day...we did studios again.
first people we run into...

I think we pretty much got all the characters now...we just need Betty Boop, shes very hard to find.
we make the round till lunch and head over to Bubba Gumps. I dont know but i might have posted pics in an earlier post...if i did we ate exactly the same thing...if not i will edit the pics in later.
heading back to the hotel for a while to swim...this band is playing at citywalk

they were pretty good...
so by the looks of the pics i think im on my last day...we get up and Bob was there to get us at exactly 7:30 am. we get to the airport check in the luggage
looks like were on time again...im really sad at this point

we had some time and ryan saw a mcdonalds, he had been asking for pancakes all week long. we ate at the kitchen and rp buffet and he said those werent pancakes ok so the frozen microwave ones at micky d's are pancakes? ok whatever ryan (i say that often to him) he wasnt playin...he ate 2 orders, 6 of them.

heres our plane...now i am holding on the the chair legs and the kids are pulling me kicking and screaming to get in line...I WANT TO STAY!!!

heres a pic of the gulf coast beaches...

and the green stuff is our Louisiana swamp area and waterways...

and were home...landing in New orleans looks like you going to crash into houses and stuff.

so thats it...i finally finished a trip report. YAY for me
hope yall liked it and if you have questions about the royal pacific or southwest or uni/ioa just ask...

Hi Jill! Just finished reading your TR and I loved it! The photos were great; your family is lovely.

And there is never a need to apologize for those delicious caramel apples! They are wonderful and I usually get one on the way out the park as well.

Best of luck with the tattoo! Personally, I like it and perhaps it is your good luck charm....looks like you all had a fabulous time!
