The lazy TR, I'm making my 12 y/o write it LOL ~~~Finally Finished 4/12~~~

[HomeschoolMama]

I love your Pirate's picture, Jo! I honestly never thought of getting in them. I'll have to jump in too.

 

[DisneyJo]

We are at DHS for RD and we were right at the front for the show. Mum rushed off and went to FP TSM and Dad, Ellie and I met her there. We got straight into the queue and went on. It is all going well so far!!!

We got in our cart and had put on our trendy glasses and were all set to ride TSM, all of a sudden whilst on the 2nd screen. It broke down and went all pitch black. Oops!!! I freaked out. Then we got escorted out safely as Disney does!! The good thing is that we got free FP’s, which ran out on the 8/31!!


Yep our first time being escorted off a ride, we sat in the car ages waiting and we thought it was quite interesting, the lady next to us didn’t though, she moaned and moaned and moaned. Pretty silly really as there is nothing that you can do about it so may as well make the most of it!



Ellie and I saw these 2 men who had HSM props, and they were Photo Pass members so we had some cool photos done!! Then we decided to head down the way towards ToT and Mum, Ellie and I got the stitch-animated Photo Pass!!

Animation studios were shut. So we then went to watch the Little Mermaid stage show as mum wanted to see it as we do every time we got to Disney. We have to do it at least once!!! Water sprayed us and there was lots of singing!!

“Power was still down” at TSM and we watched the HSM show in front of the Hat. Then we went and used our FP’s at TSM and Mum scored 134,900 and Dad scored 159,600. In our family we get extremely competitive, as you might have guessed from Buzz and TSM and miniature golf. Then we went and used our free FP’s and rode it again!



There must have been some big power problem at DHS today as loads of attractions were closed due to no electricity?!?!?



We headed over to the Animation Studio and the drawing was a 25min wait and we didn’t want to waste any time so we went out of the park and waited for the boat to the Boardwalk.

We were standing on the dock when we saw a duck and Ellie and I were excited. On the other hand I heard a snapping noise and looked over the side to see a Snapping Turtle and Loads of fish. I was more excited to see that than a duck!!! But how cool to see a turtle look out for him when you go to DHS!!!! Unfortunately he’d gone by the time we got the camera out!


Beaches & Cream here we come. Whilst we were walking down the Beach club path, we didn’t know where we were going, so we followed the pool and Ellie couldn’t take her eyes off of it!! Then we found B&C there were many tables free even though it is quite small!! We saw Lessa and her family there and they were sitting back to back with us. Then later we saw Tracy (Scojo’s) and all of her family. Both of them had ordered the kitchen sink!!!

We ordered Main: 3-cheese burger and 1 beef sub. Beverages: 1 coke, 1 sprite and 2 pink Lemonades. Desserts: 2 fudge mud slides (Mum and Dad shared one) and I got the double scoop sugar cone!! Boring or what but I liked it!!!!

It was great to bump into Lessa and her family and we even managed to get a photo this time

Some PP photos in Epcot

We walked to Epcot and FP’d TT. Then we headed to the Bus depot and we had to wait for 30minutes!!! We were back at POR and had a swim. Whilst we were swimming Mum did some washing, the dryer took forever though.

We then caught a bus to DHS and we had to run for the boat as it was at the dock. On that boat (coming off it) was Mo and Kelly!! We said a quick hi and went on to the boat. We headed for the fantasia mini golf course.

Whilst playing the golf course there was a two ball behind which wouldn’t go through and Mum got really annoyed and had a tantrum. I nearly beat the course record as it was 40 and I scored 42!!! (Nearly 2’d every hole!) I beat mum and Dad finally (though it was only miniature golf I beat them )




Yep I had a bit of a strop A young couple behind us refused to go through us but stood watching us on every hole and made comments

We were on the 17th and Ellie hit her ball too hard and it flew over and landed in the water behind. She was very upset. The man over the other side stuck his hand in the water and fished her ball out of the pond! How kind!!

It meant Ellie could continue that hole and the last! The last hole was really good, as when you get the ball into the hole Merlin the Wizard squirted music out at you! It was so fun and at the end we got a golf ball with Stitch on it!!!

We walked all the way round to Epcot again. There were all these surrey bikes and there were so many!! This family came down this hill so fast with a baby on the mothers lap!!

When we got to Epcot we had England’s Fish and Chip’s. Firstly the chips had way too much salt on them and the battered fish I don’t think was cod and the batter was all soggy. So it wasn’t one of our best meals of our vacation. Then we saw Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore going to their meeting point. We got in the queue to get Photo Pass Pictures. Then we just got through and their handler cut the queue off so they could go for a break. The family behind said they were always the family to get cut off!! ((Poor them))

The fish and chips in England really was gross, I couldn’t even eat mine, the real thing is so much nicer!



Then we walked round the countries and Mum and Dad got a crepe and Ellie and I got a Kaki Gori (shaved ice and flavourings.) It took along time to eat our Kaki Gori’s and we walked to Mexico. We went and used our FP’s on TT and we rode it at night woooohoooo. We saw Mel and Bob walking towards Mouse Gear. Then we got on TT again and they let us go in the FP line without FP’s and we didn’t have to watch the show. We rode it that time with IROE.

And we couldn’t have an Epcot day without some TT photos and yes we are mad

Once we got off the ride we decided to head home, we went through mouse gear. Guess what??? We saw Mel and Bob again. We walked to the turnstiles with them. We went our separate ways and we ran to the bus whilst they went up to the monorail station.

We got on and we saw Diamond in the ruff again with a different child. We chatted till we got to POR. Once we got there we finally brought our postcards. We got in our room at 10.00pm. We brought 6 cards and Ellie and I wrote 3 each.


Continued here!

Nice update....my brother and dsil were on TSM at the same time.

 

[DisneyJo]

Wow Heather we might have walked out right behind them

 

[DARuss]

Hey those are some cool pics and a great update.

I like the pics of mini golf. I've been wanting to go one time but can't take time away from the parks. Maybe after a couple more trips we'll make it.

We kinda had the same problem with a ride last Jan. Sorin quit just as we were breaking through the clouds, then for the next 15 mis we kept getting an auditable voice that said they were working on the problem and to please stay in our seats. I did not plan on getting out of my seat considering we were about 30 feet in the air.

Keep the updates coming.

 

[winkers]

I love the photopass pictures!

What? No picute of Jo's hissy fit over the mini golf?

 

[Diamondintheruff]

They came out so cute!

Yep I had a bit of a strop A young couple behind us refused to go through us but stood watching us on every hole and made comments

That would give me a bit of a strop, too!

When we got to Epcot we had England’s Fish and Chip’s. Firstly the chips had way too much salt on them and the battered fish I don’t think was cod and the batter was all soggy. So it wasn’t one of our best meals of our vacation.

Darn - I promise it's not always that bad! But they do seem to go heavy on the oil and salt from time to time.

Once we got off the ride we decided to head home, we went through mouse gear. Guess what??? We saw Mel and Bob again.

Was Mel smuggling again?

 

[HomeschoolMama]

I love the HSM pics! We'll have to keep our eyes out for those FP pics.
I expected the scared TT picture, but the crazy smile freaked me out a bit, Jo!

Only 3 days!!!

 

[cmp1111]

Pretty silly really as there is nothing that you can do about it so may as well make the most of it!

Mum got really annoyed and had a tantrum.

Not my sweet Jo???

I nearly beat the course record as it was 40 and I scored 42!!! (Nearly 2’d every hole!) I beat mum and Dad finally (though it was only miniature golf I beat them )
