One night Jimmy had to stand on the bus the whole ride home from EPCOT. HE did great though, I was really proud of him!

I know we're all tired at the end of the day but really, kids need to sit down

BTW - Am I first

You are

I completely agree about not giving up seats!! I have moved over held on lap many a youngster ! While other young ablebodied men just sit !! I guess chivalry is dead !!I have been flamed (of course not here ) for staing how I feel about that !! I'm 61 and I would get up for someone who needed it !!I also have a problem when a bunch of people get on first with qa wheelchair person Now it is definately not a problem for the wheelchair person and a companion but why should everyone else get to biard first on the same bus yes but they take the seats and leave many standing !! OK vent over ! I know all Fockers are generous and would not do this !!

Rosie I agree with you on both accounts, the wheelchair thing annoys me too, fair enough 1 or 2 companions but sometimes when about 15 peopl get on it's ridiculous, also why can't they wait their turn in the queue like everyone else!!!

Eek, sorry your dining experience was ruined by the loud tables.

It was such a shame, you don't mind that bhaviour in Chef Mickeys say but not Narcoossees!

YAY you got your magnet! Z totally kept forgetting it in the room all week!

When we picked it up it didn't say who it was from so we just presumed it was from Z

Too bad about the weather! The pictures at the poly that you did get are cute!

Thanks

I can't believe they set you in the middle of a party!
It's amazing how inconsiderate some people are!
On the bright side, you got to enjoy your dessert!

For some reason they said they didn't realise they were together

Isn't that always the way?

I know why don't I learn

That's ridiculous - I can't believe they did that in the first place - Narcoosee's should know better - and then I totally agree that kids need to behave in nice restaurants - yes, even in Disney. Heck, I don't let my kids run around tables at McDonald's. I'm sorry, but I'm glad you at least got a peaceful dessert.

I'm glad everyone agrees with me We would still go back though!

7am woke up

left by 7.20am and were at the Poly by 7.45am

The photo shoot was roughly 1 hour. We had just over 100 pictures taken but the first few were very blurry as the camera lens steamed up.

Here are some of the photos:

That is just a few of the pictures.


I was really pleased with the photos, some of the ones of the girls are just beautiful, don’t like the ones of me though


We got to MK by 9.20am and FP’d Buzz then rode it 3 times. FP’d Splash and rode it we got extremely wet but it is Ellie’s favourite ride this year. Then we rode BTMRR twice and we saw our great mate Omar whoooooop whoooooop.

We finally got a Dole Whip for me as Mum did promise.

Then we went back to POR for a swim and then lunch. We all got our own things as we had so many CS’s left. I got a salad and Ellie got pasta.

We headed back to MK and FP’d Buzz and rode it. Dad scored 516,000. Afterwards we rode TTA. Then headed straight to Toon town and we saw Margie and her family. Then we walked towards the train station and saw Mo and she had a webkinz pug for Ellie and a Jessica Mickey necklace for me, thanks Mo. Then T found us all and Tanya. Mo and Kelly came to say Hi as they left us so Mo could take Kelly to BBB. Then we rode the train with Tanya as T had to wait for Evan to come off one of the rides and Margie went to find her family.


It was so lovely to meet up again but also to meet Margie (DreaminDisney) and Tanya (Tanya90210) for the first time, it was so hot though so we all chatted briefly before going our separate ways! Also Mo thank you so much for the girls gifts you really shouldn’t have, I know you said it was because you upset Ellie about the accent thing but you didn’t have to buy a present, thanks anyway!


So we went on the train to head for Main Street and watched the parade. Baloo hugged me on his way round. It was weird I don’t really like Baloo as last year he purposely ran away from me and stepped on my foot!!!

Tanya took the pictures and the second one we were very focused on the parade.

We got back on the train and saw T and her family and then we rode Splash using our FP’s we got extremely wet. Then we rode BTMRR with our FP’s and we had a great time whilst sitting at the front.

We then rode Pirates, afterwards we were very thirsty and hot so we stopped at this place which sold stawberry slush puppies! I loved it and it was very refreshing. We then headed straight to Buzz.

We still hadn’t got presents for our friends and we only had one day left. So we bought them Lollipops with our 7 snack credits left!!! Then Ellie and I bought ourselves swords with little candies inside it is really sweet and tasty

We went to get the boat to head for our dining reservation at the Wilderness Lodge. There were many shops and we could hear the Whispering Canyon Café whilst we were looking round in the shops!!

By the time we got in there we already had a headache

We ordered:
The Canyon Skillet, for us all to join in and eat.
But Ellie had the Pasta on the Kids Menu

We didn’t like the food that much and we didn’t even have dessert and none to take away!!!

Mum went to DHS and Dad, Ellie and I went home via MK. It took us a long time as the boats got into a traffic jam!!!

Mum got home late!! As she didn’t find Ollie and Ben their T-shirts. We were swimming and swam for 1.5hrs and then got out and were in bed by 10.30pm.


WCC was our worst meal of the trip, honestly every other meal was lovely except WCC. The food was just all dry and not tasty, the milkshakes were vile too, they were made with a sickly syrup not nice like other places. We won’t be hurrying back there



Last installment here!

i also hate when little kids have to stand on the bus. my 10yr old actually gave up his seat to a little one in sept and i was so proud!!!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I'll say it again, those family photos at the Poly are beautiful!

 

[Diamondintheruff]

Love the hammock shot!

Great report

Here are some of the photos:

I'd seen some of these before, and they are gorgeous!

I was really pleased with the photos, some of the ones of the girls are just beautiful, don’t like the ones of me though

Don't be daft.

Also Mo thank you so much for the girls gifts you really shouldn’t have, I know you said it was because you upset Ellie about the accent thing but you didn’t have to buy a present, thanks anyway!

Aww, sweet Mo.

By the time we got in there we already had a headache

Oh, no!

Mum got home late!! As she didn’t find Ollie and Ben their T-shirts. We were swimming and swam for 1.5hrs and then got out and were in bed by 10.30pm.

What was mum doing at DHS? Inquiring minds need to know!

Lovely update, Jess!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

All caught up! I guess I missed your last installment.

Ugh! I would have been very upset at Narcoossee's if that happened to me as well. We didn't go out to restaurants until Evan was over 2 years old as he could not behave and I refused to spoil other people's meals. Even now, he'll start to misbehave and I just give him the stink eye and he settles down.

Love, love, LOVE your Poly pics! I'm going to schedule on of those next year, for sure!

 

[KatGarcia]

LOVE the PP pics! Just gorgeous!!!

We loved WCC, I wonder if it was a bad day or what?!

 

[rentayenta]

Love love love the family hammock photo!

Merry Christmas Jo & Jess!!!

Your time at BB sounded fun, I'd love to do the family raft ride someday. The Poly photoshoot pics are wonderful, Jo! They came out so nice and your girls are beautiful! Staying 2 weeks I forgot how many snack credits you would each have...

Don't be daft.

I think lots of people hate themselves in photos

Aww, sweet Mo.

She really is

What was mum doing at DHS? Inquiring minds need to know!

Looking for those flaming shirts for my nephews There is a story about that too but I just couldn't be bothered to write it, terrible aren't I

Ugh! I would have been very upset at Narcoossee's if that happened to me as well. We didn't go out to restaurants until Evan was over 2 years old as he could not behave and I refused to spoil other people's meals. Even now, he'll start to misbehave and I just give him the stink eye and he settles down.

The Manager even said to us they have a saying just because you stay at the Grand doesn't mean you belong at the Grand

Love, love, LOVE your Poly pics! I'm going to schedule on of those next year, for sure!

Thanks T and although the price has gone up we definitely got our moneys worth

LOVE the PP pics! Just gorgeous!!!

Your time at BB sounded fun, I'd love to do the family raft ride someday. The Poly photoshoot pics are wonderful, Jo! They came out so nice and your girls are beautiful! Staying 2 weeks I forgot how many snack credits you would each have...

You must ride the raft ride, even if you're on your own they'll put you in with someone else Thanks so much about the photos, I think the ones of the girls did turn out lovely and yes we had 56 snack credits to use up



BTW did anyone notice anything wrong with the Castle in the photos????

I looked back. The castle looks a little.....taller? Is there a crane there or something?

 

[scottny]

ok catching up.

the family pics are gorgeous.

sorry WCC was bad, I was thinking of going there in June but now maybe not. Might be a fun place for a grand gathering of 20.

Yep they were painting part of the tower, I think the crane makes the Castle look even better though

Thanks Scott, maybe we just caught WCC on a bad day, also I think we were near the end of our trip and maybe just wanted a quiet meal

 

[englishrose47]

Hi Jo and Jess !!

 

[TyRy]

Catching up finally on your last installments and I have to say that I've heard stories about Narcoosee's just like yours before. I've only been there once and we did not have any of that happening...it would have ticked me off too.

The family photos are lovely!

 

[OhMari]

Hey you 2,
I found this way back on my "move board".
I hope you come back and finish.
