Okay, this is a serious post.

BB sounds like so much fun! I love the way Jess just tells it like it is - her parents are so old they are going to have a heart attack, her mum has a bum that runs into things.......

Speaking of bums - love the Pluto bum photo.

The last time we went to BB, HamBoy was 2 1/2 and he had a great time in the kiddie area. We might get premium APs next year and hit the water parks. Our next family trip is June for SWW and I'll need a break from the Geek Studios. DH and DS are already looking for costumes to wear for SWW.

Hi Jo and Jess,

I just wanted to stop by and say, "hi"! Great trip report. You are both too funny. I met you at Teppanyaki (or what ever they call it now?). Our families shared a table. Little Michael had so much fun talking to your girls. We have this great picture of the back of your heads I do have some fun pics of the chef though. Let me know if you would like me to send them to you. I can't remember if you had a camera with you. Can't wait to read the rest of your trip report.

Guess what??? We are going to Epcot We are going to meet some of Mum’s English DIS friends. We were at Epcot by 4:10pm. And another guess what??? We got fast passes for Test Track (as it is our favourite ride.) We headed over towards the Rose & Crown. We met TracyCooper, Lonegal and DisWolves. We chatted for about ½ an hour. Dad went and explored England really well!!! They were all very nice!!



Today we had a UK DIS meet set up, there were meant to be loads of us but because of the horrendous rain only 4 of us turned up, it was nice meeting you all though!

This is DisWolves, DD & DW, us, TraceyCooper & DD and Lonegal & her DH.


We explored the countries, first France and we were really lucky we saw Aurora. She was really nice and we got lots of pictures with her and she kept talking about my Winnie the Pooh siggie book.

Both of us together with Aurora

Ellie and Aurora

Me with Aurora

Both of us again with Aurora

Whilst we were seeing Aurora Dad was looking round at the shops, after we had finished Mum saw a queue for Belle and Beast, Ellie was really excited as Belle is her favourite Princess and she was in her Blue dress which we had never seen. Dad continued at looking at the french shops.

Me with Belle

Us together with Belle and Beast

After we had seen them we carried on around the countries and I was so happy that I saw those 3 characters and wanted to find more characters and we did!! :. We were in Morocco and we met Aladdin, Jasmine and Genie. Genie appeared out of nowhere well that is what I thought!!! We got great pictures and we had to stand like Jasmine as we were girls and if you were a boy you had to stand like Aladdin. As you know I have a Pooh siggie book well Aladdin told Jasmine that I drew Pooh picture on every page and she believed it (silly her hey .)

China was next and we saw a queue for Mulan and Mushu. Mulan asked us if any of our ancestors get up to watch the sun rise? I said no as I was quite confused : But it was nice meeting them though!!

We had so much luck finding the characters this afternoon, we also found time to really explore the countries, I’m sure that because it was raining on and off and so much cooler than previous years it actually made it far more pleasant looking around!



It was now time for our meal, which was at Teppan Edo in Japan, as you may know you have to sit in groups of 8. We had a lovely family and they were Dissers the ladies screen name is Nicsmom and the daughters screen name is Dizgirl96. A Japanese lady took our orders and I ordered steak and shrimp and so did Dad but Mum and Ellie ordered Steak and Chicken. We had a wonderful chef but when he took our orders he told me I could only have cheeseburger Whilst he was cooking our meal he did some tricks, he flipped some shrimp tails into his hat! He made an onion volcano in the shape of a mickey head.

He also drew a mickey head in oil. When the food was ready he gave everyone their food but only gave me 1 of everything each time, I thought that was funny and he did give me all my meal eventually

Nicsmom’s DS was called Michael and he was about 4, he was so cute and came and talked to me and showed me his pins, he also had a new toy he showed me, so sweet!

For dessert we all had ice-cream except Dad who had ginger cake, it was OK.



Our meal at Teppanedo was absolutely gorgeous, our best meal of the whole entire trip, it really helped that we had a wonderful chef, some other tables weren’t as lucky! As a table we did clap him a lot which I think made him perform better for us



We then went towards TT to use our FP’s, the queue was really long though, Mum and Dad gave us the choice of TT or IROE and we chose TT. We had a great time as always but it kept jerking and stopping, Dad got a bit worried as you can see in the photo! Afterwards we went and got the bus back to POR and on the bus was another DISer called MissSpinCrazy, so lots of DIS sightings today!

So we had TT FP’s burning a hole in our pockets and we weren’t going to give them away this time The thing is we had VIP seats for IROE but they were at the Morocco boat landing so we didn’t have time to do both and TT won All the queues were really long and a couple with a youngish child went in the single rider line, when they got to the front they were told that the child was too young to ride alone so instead of just telling them to get in the normal queue the CM gave them some FP’s, yes very nice for them but it did annoy me that all those other people had been in a 60 minute queue abiding the rules and this family just went in front of them! Anyway this was our first time in the dark and wow it was really good, at several points though we thought it was breaking down, thankfully it didn’t!


We then wandered to the bus stop and could half see the fireworks, it also meant we missed the post fireworks rush

Next day here!!!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Sounds like a lovely yet rainy day at Epcot, I love all the character pictures.

Too funny that David wandered off during the Dis meet.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Great photos with all the characters -- you were very lucky! It's pretty funny that Jasmine made you stand like she was!

Teppan Edo was our favorite meal of the entire trip, too! It was so much fun, and the food was just soooo good!

 

[jcc0621]

Great update Jess What a surprise that you rode TT
David looks ticked off in the picture

 

[englishrose47]

Great Update Jess !! and again Congrats Ellie !!

 

[KatGarcia]

Sounds like David was hanging out too much with Waldo...all that wandering. I can't believe (ok I can) that you picked TT over VIP IROE!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Sounds like David was hanging out too much with Waldo...all that wandering.

No kidding!


Well, I feel better. Apparently David dislikes your American DIS friends as much as your British ones!

Love all you character pics. We had the exact same Belle and Aurora. I thought Aurora looked a bit deflated. She was so skinny!

OMG, I can't believe you chose TT or VIP IROE!
