When I last left you we were all asleep. B. started crying about 1.5 hours into our nap so I went and grabbed him quickly and we headed outside to explore the resort.
We walked up to the Carriage House, down by the main pool, and then just wandered around for about 1/2 an hour.
When we got back to the room I thought both A. and Rob would be up but when we got in the room we saw this:
I peaked in at Rob in the bedroom and he was also still snoozing away, so I fixed B. a snack and we headed out on the patio. While I was fixing his snack, he was doing this:
So, we headed out with a snack and this is when I discovered my afternoon past time. Watching bad golfers! Oh y goodness, they were hilarious! B. enjoyed playing around outside and he was trapped in by the bushes, so we both were able to relax.
About 20 minutes later A. woke up and then we all went in and woke up Rob.
He didn't look great at this point. He said he didn't feel well and felt like a cold was coming on. I've been so worried about H1N1 that I got that pit in the bottom of my stomach. I just knew that he was going to be sick the rest of the trip. He took some cold medicine and drank a lot of water and said he felt a little better.
So, we packed up and headed to Magic Kingdom for dinner and our Dessert Party!
After a short drive we decided to take the monorail. We got in the first car and right before the doors closed a cast member jumped in our car. She said she was there to entertain us and started asking Disney trivia. This is when I knew I was a Disney nerd...I knew the answer to every question except the length of the monorail.
Of course I only yelled out one answer (well, maybe two) so that the kids could have the fun monorail cards she was passing out.
When we arrived at MK we were shocked to see the crowd!
Then I realized that it was just a dance party happening and that is why everyone was crowded into one small space.
A. felt like partying, so she joined in.
After some dancing, we headed to Fantasyland and rode A.'s ride.
Then we headed to Toon Town to ride Barnstormer. A. and I rode and then she spotted it, the play area.
So, she wouldn't ride it with Rob because she wanted to play...so we went over there.
After about 1/2 hour B. was getting hungry so we bribed A. with a sucker
and headed to The Pinocchio Village Haus for some dinner. This place really was packed. So, I left Rob with A. and B. and I went to order. We got one pizza to share and one Mac 'n Cheese to share. When we got back to the table, Rob said he wasn't hungry and felt horrible. I was really worried at this point.
So, the kids and I ate and then we headed out to get in line for the Dessert Party. While we were waiting for our wristbands Rob drank a bottle of water and said he felt better. I didn't believe him.
After a short wait, we were escorted to our table. It seemed kind of weird honestly. There was a very long line and they had 3-4 people escorting guests to their table. Luckily we were in the front of the line, the poor people in the middle to end of the line were still waiting to be escorted while we were enjoying our desserts!
We were located in "A" section, so we were on the lower level. Nice view for Spectro.
I did not take one picture of the buffet! I had read horror stories of them running out of food and being slow to replace it so I was more concerned about getting the food than pictures. Sorry!
The desserts were good, but I'm not sure there was enough variety for the price.
We agreed that it is a good thing to do once, but we probably wouldn't do it again for that price.
Right before the fireworks we walked up to the rail and we were lucky to be right under Tink's line. When Tink flew right at us A. go *so* excited. I was holding her and she was yelling "TINKERBELL, IT'S ME A.! HIIIIIIIIIIII!!" When Tink got right above us she/he looked down and waved at us. This made A.'s trip. "TINKERBELL WAVED AT ME!!!" She talked about it so much. We both agreed that that was one of those Disney Magic Moments and you can't put a price on that!
After the party we were all tired and I could tell Rob was really not feeling well, so we made our way out of the park.
Rob stopped in the Confectionery to get some Mickey suckers. We waited with our "fireworks".
We started to walk out of the park and saw the HUGE line for the monorail. So we walked back in the park, took a potty/diaper break, and browsed around the shops on Main Street. About 1/2 hour later the crowd had died down and we were quickly back to our car.
When we got back to the hotel, we gave the kids a quick bath and put them to bed. I think B. was asleep before we laid him down.
Rob was feeling even worse and sounding worse and worse. We decided that we would just play tomorrow by ear and not stress about it.
So, off to sleep we all went.
Coming Up Next: I'm not sure I can do this!
for the Disney Blues.
Sometimes the best medicine (short of booking another trip) is writing about the one you just got back from.
I'd love to do a mother/daughter trip too but I just don't see that happening anytime soon. This past trip was kind of different since I felt like a tour guide...I'd planned our whole trip for my in-laws and my family. They were constantly asking me questions about what we're doing next, when are we eating, yada yada yada. While I always love going to Disney, this particular trip felt more like work! Isn't that funny? Still, everyone had a great time.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it so much too.
I swear, it sure felt like we did a loop though, didn't it? I was screaming like a banshee and my family was laughing hysterically at me! Don't ya just love thrill rides?
When we were there I got some kinda fish which was wonderful!!
It was just so magical!
