Marc & I were just talking about going to an Aquarium this summer. I'll be sure to read all the placards in your honor.

I think next trip you should time the stroller shuffle. I bet it's amusing.

 

[carissanboys]

We have a membership to our aquarium and go as often as we can.

Your lunch sounds delicious!

[GeminiAngel]

Great update!

I love Nemo. What a clever attraction it is.

Can't wait for our 2011 trip, we are going to do the behind the seeds tour at "the ride with plants". I just love that, too funny!

Yup, traveling with kiddos means lots and lots of stuff. Gotta be ready.

And finally, I told you I would have been more than happy to baby sit you here in Vegas, I didn't realize you had issues here in the past. Great, now I'm picturing you in your boxers swimming in Casear's fountain.

 

[Native NYer]

Love your update.
My nephew never wants to leave the Seas either. You can hang out with him if we're ever in Disney at the same time

 

[glennbo123]

As you know, when you travel with a larger group which include kids, whenever you leave an attraction or a meal or the restroom or the room or the bus or the car or the tram or the ferry or the plane, you have to get the stroller situated, the kids situated, the leftovers situated, the purse situated, the diaper bag situated, the shopping bags situated, the extra blankets situated, the sippy cups situated...

This is where the term "what's the sitch" comes from. Well maybe not, but it should!

 

[eandesmom]

Congratulations. On not only listening to your friend but being OPEN to listen. That's outstanding!

Sometimes I want to read all the placards, sometimes not. I'm inconsistent that way. Thankfully at least half the group wants to read them so it balances out.

Ah, the stroller, diaper bag et al drill. Do NOT miss that. You'll be amazed. Once those kids get out of diapers and strollers life will change a lot on the touring side!

A ways to go there though.

Great update. I've never been to vegas. would like to go just to people watch.

going to do a better reply later. Been taking care of a sick baby all week and being stuck in the house with the sick hubs yesterday and now stuck in the house today with my sick father. Praying the two year old I don't get what's going around.

 

[*Seanaci*]

Sorry...double post...guess my phone was being wonky this morning.

 

[LaurenMic]

I hope you feel comfortable enough to join in on the fun.

Haha Yeah no more lurking for me!! I am indeed very excited to be in on the fun

 

[lilpapsgirl]

wow! I can't even have surgery without getting 30 pages behiend. Teaches me!

 

[mnmrmustard]

Welcome Back!!!!!!

Thankyee sir! I'm reading away am very slowly catching up.

And since you opened the pimping floodgates I'll jump on the bandwagon for anyone interested in seeing my fam's Halloween adventures at DLR last October (see link in sig).

I have everything posted at this point except the "saying our goodbyes/trip home". LOTS of pics and random misadventures of me and my pirate brood

Now I better get back to reading or another ten pages will appear ahead of me!

Day 1! First off I want to say that I’m very happy that WDW and the DISboards family are continuing to help you through the turmoil you had to deal with last fall. God will answer the tough questions for you and will always support you, but a little Disney magic and the camaraderie of friends always helps

I really like the idea of being taken along on your journey. I’ve always had a secret ambition to go solo on a trip, but at least until the kids are grown and out of the house you’re my ticket to ride I like the pic of the dog standing guard over your packed bags. Too bad about the rain, but better than snow! And so very cool that you had your security/TSA experience was so positive.

Weird experience with the diamond-encrusted watch guy – what a TMI situation. And I feel your pain on the big seatmate thing, I’m not a small guy and I always end up sitting next to someone bigger than me. Sounds like MCO was a breeze and nice to walk onto the ME bus and have it roll right out.

Great story about the dog jerky btw, yummy!

Poo interlude – I experience that very thing this morning, did the morning ritual, then showered and went to work. Once there I was leaning around some equipment to change out a power supply and “knock knock”, time for round two. Nice one with dental floss guy too – ugh!

Good smooth check-in, despite the room assignment. I can’t believe you hadn’t eaten anything since your IHoP breakfast – I’d be a hungry, grouchy wreck. Looked like a nice room and I can’t wait for the chonies game. I bet it is pretty serene and interesting to walk around the resort that late/early in the morning (on your hunt for food). 3am night-time aye?

Peepfest Interlude – If you could swing it I would do land and sea, but only if it was a minimum of 7 days of land plus the 3-4 days of sea.

I’ll be back with thoughts on Day 2 soon – figure it is best to take on this monster in chunks

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Great update Jordan! I MAY have be known to linger at displays longer than my traveling companins would have wished. And I'm happy that things worked out for your Vegas dilema. As it says in Proverbs, "Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses." I hope that work doesnt drive you over sanity's cliff this week. Have an awesome Easter.

God Bless!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Yay an update!

Now I am the exact opposite of you I don't like looking at fish but I love seafood

Sunshine Seasons sounds so good! My mom and I had a snack there on our trip and their desserts were delicious!

 

[KathyRN137]

Yes, when your "situation" involves multiple children, there's always a lot of "situating" to do!!

Great update, Jordan, keep 'em coming!!

Now that you're almost 50, glad to hear you're making some good decisions- I don't know if we ever outgrow the need for others' wise input though. Kudos to your friend for offering wisdom!!! I think your parents will be fine on the bus- who knows, they may even have more fun with the others?

Of all the FW Pavs., the Land is my fave. Who wouldn't enjoy seeing the world's largest tomato plant?? I mean it's like Madam Tussauds gone real and not macabre.

Yes. know the stroller drill!! Thank God we're done with THAT!!!

Never really explored The Seas more than seeing the lame clamobile ride and Crush. Need to remedy that. But, I"m like you- a little reluctant to start the exploration process- since I have to read all the stupid placards that will fill valuable brain space with pretty useless info. - what little I have left... And I have to see ALL the exhibits, and take too many pix, that won't turn out... in short spend far too much time in the end.

I think my parents will have more fun on the bus....you're right.

The Land is one of my favorite pavs, but I love fish so........

I remember babysitting one time when Erin was still a baby and having to take a stroller out the car and get her in it and then get the brake thingys up....I was a wreck.

Yeah the Seas Aquarium is a time sucker.....for sure.
