The SuperFamily vs. Silverware, Felons and The Little Mermaid!updated 1/27/14

I am loving your TR! How cute that Duffy was that interactive? You can see the pure bliss in her face when she is hugging him!
 

She may have got a lantern, but her face with Duffy says she still a kid.;)

Any suggestions on the best Agent P mission?:goodvibes
 
Fun updates! Love the Duffy pics. We've never met him, but maybe next time.

My kids refuse to get their picture taken with the troll. It's too scary, they said. Next time I'm making them.

Good to know they change up the Agent P missions a little. We've only done UK before, but I know we'll eventually get to all of them. We love it last time.

That restaurant sounds great. We'll have to consider it for next time.
 
So the clouds were rolling in and we had FP's for Test Track.. but not for a few more minutes.. we opted to jump on Space Ship Earth to "waste" time.. not sure why but we love this ride..

Played a few games

Then we prayed a little to the weather Gods.. TT was down for refurb in 2012 so we really wanted to ride..and experience the new TT!!

We had 7 minutes until our FP+ time so..

Ok so the new beginning of TT.. it wins hugely to my SUPER competitive kids...

The kids wanted some mini Etch a Sketches so we did the safety check. The girl doing their check was from Pittsfield .. seriously we live in a kinda small area and how awesome she was from exactly where we live!!! Was def neato!

And here's our goodbye Epcot picture

082_zpsce66ca6c.jpg


We are about to do something Eric and the kids have never done.. we are going to Park hop.... where shall we go?

Where oh where do we go now?
 
Crud forgot our TT picture..FYI..we LOVE the new TT.. way more than the old..WIN!

So we are exiting Epcot..the kids think we are going back to the resort.. but we are NOT.. We paid good money for hoppers and dang it I was using them! So we exit and instead of turning left to head towards the busses we head up the monorail ramp..I didn't have happy kids... oh well kids.. life's tough and Mommy's mean.. she is taking you to the Magic Kingdom..mean mean Mommy!

We all get on the Monorail..well so we thought.. Ziah was not paying attention and did NOT follow us..goodness talk about heart stopping.. LUCKILY I managed to throw my arm in the door and get her in before it shut all the way.. ok no maybe I am the worst mom...

Okay Taejan got happy..Declan..not so much...and Ziah was pouting..afterall we DID almost leave her on the platform...sigh

083_zps2007d495.jpg


Yep I'm horrible..

084_zps6f85efa2.jpg


We stopped by the firestation for our 5 packs of Sorcerer cards then because we never made it over the AdventureLand bridge when we were here the other day..so off we went!

085_zps9bf670d5.jpg


We decided we would have a few Dole Whips..seriously I REALLY was wishing mine had some rum in it right about now..

086_zps8e18630b.jpg


087_zpsd5deb1fd.jpg


Ziah said she had never ridden Alladin ( think in 2011 she was sick the say we rode it and we didnt come near it in 2012?)..so off her and I went

088_zps48593e9a.jpg


Hello boys!!

089_zpsf034efe7.jpg


and YES I got spit on by the stupid camel..I did not know there was one on this darn ride that got people.. grr..oh wait I got it a 2nd time.. what the HECK did I ever do to camels??

Declan wanted to try a Pirate Adventure so of course off we went ( yet again i was wishing for some rum in that dole whip)...

090_zpsd977f6a0.jpg


I must say they are pretty cool though...
091_zps7eec6dd4.jpg


This was the coolest ever
092_zps13b2fcd4.jpg


Can't be that close to Pirates and not ride so..
093_zps682cd448.jpg


After that we headed out of the park..the kids first hop a success , ya know if you dont count almost leaving Ziah on the Monorail platform...

We hopped a bus to the North Depot.. did the walk thru the parking lot..up the retaining wall and to the room:

Apparently Stitch and Wrenna were coloring
095_zpsa93c6ebe.jpg


We chilled for a few then went to the quiet pool at the mansions then grabbed some food ( and endured "Here at the Riverside" ) then back to the room..we were all crashed by 8:30...what a lively bunch we are!!

Tomorrow was another day and another NEW experience for us!!
 
We totally slept in..Eric went down and grabbed danish and brought em back to the room. We headed off to the bus depot. Stupid long wait for a bus to BB. 3 came for Typoon Lagoon before 1 for Blizzard Beach.. I was less than pleased. Then when it came it was PACKED.. we jammed ourselves on and off we went. One guy was near a panic attack when the bus finally got to BB. 10 people had to get off in order to let the 5 of us off. No one else got off for BB.. that poor dude was probably a hot mess by the time they got to AK!

We arrived and snagged this ONE picture..yep..thats all ya get.. ONE

001_zpsc8b51947.jpg


See I dont have a water proof camera and I THOUGHT there would be PP people there.. wrong..I was so wrong...

So here's how the day went. Rented a locker then We grabbed chairs..put our towels on em and never saw them again until we got ready to leave. We rode everything we could..2-3-4-5 times each.. LOVE the family raft ride.. like amazing. There is entirely TOO MANY stairs..goodness me my rear hurt the next day. There is a TON to do here.. the lazy river is the bomb. Dec , Eric and Ziah all did summit plummet.. Taejan was 1/2 inch too short ( he was 47.5 inches in water shoes..grrr).. Taejan and I got a sand pail full of ice cream while they rode summit plummet. The wave pool is epic.. until your daughter losses her magic band in it.. oh well such is life.

again there is SO much to do. Taejan and I also did a bunch of stuff while waiting for them to ride summit. The ice blocks are great... the straight pipe slide on the other side of the zip line..awesome.. even though its a deep pool at the end.

The kids did the zipline..where Declan proceeded to lose his magic band.. they call in divers to find it.. but a dude from Australia jumped in and grabbed it for him.

We ate food, had a blast and a half... best water park EVER!! We stayed a little over 5 hours.. did everything more than a few times.. I was so pumped to come back (will mother nature allow?).. I was VERY sad to have no pictures though.. next time.. water proof camera!

Ok so we leave and I want an after picture.. Ziah wont walk in the sand..seriously...

After we left we went over to golf..only one side was open.. but we didnt care..

004_zpsb6a5461d.jpg


Snow!
006_zps4c9e773c.jpg


Declan kept score..of course...
007_zps003f6bc6.jpg


really awesome mini golf course!
010_zpsd43bfcd0.jpg


Hopped on the bus back to the resort..another full bus. Met a family from South America.. instant connection with the kids.. they had a great ride back..love how easy it is to make friends for kids!

We got back to the room..dropped off all the wet stuff.. grabbed Ziah's back up magic band ( thank goodness for that second set they sent us) saw this

011_zpsb4711d55.jpg


Jumped back on a bus to Epcot.. switch busses and off to Animal Kingdom Lodge..
012_zps8458a1f0.jpg


We checked into Boma a few minutes early..and we were taken right in.. another great meal.. Declan somehow manages to drop his entire thing of silverware.. seriously ... and he was not happy when I laughed at him.. this was turning into a "thing" for certain.

014_zpsd7708829.jpg


After the meal we went out and saw the animals..

027_zpscee025d0.jpg


after some shopping ( where Ziah buys a Zebra mask) we hopped on the first park bus that came..MK.. then from there a bus back to POR..in the room by 8.. the kids were BEAT like never before..love the water parks for that. Crashed hard...
 
Tuesday.. day 6.. I think by this point we were all dragging a little. Blame it on the AC causing us all some cold like symptoms..us North Easterner's just arent used to constant AC.. or blame it on the 8 year old and husband who snore like no tomorrow.. either way we were all feeling less than stellar when we woke up..

We got up.. dragged our bums off to the North Depot..the boys with each of their Stitch in hand.. Declan had gotten his signed last year and Taejan was determined to do the same!

We got to MK and hopped the Monorail over to the Poly.. oh did I forget to mention..today is Declan's Birthday..really.. as far as Disney is concerned it's his birthday!

001_zps4d86df92.jpg


We arrived way too early..think 45 minutes too early.. oh well.. we checked in.. got the uber scratchy flower things... and took the family picture.. love the fact that my husband always looks wacky in these types of pictures..

006_zps6c747a91.jpg


I decided to torture her...
008_zps427ef809.jpg

009_zps19b3ca4e.jpg

080_zps0a53b42e.jpg


We got back to the room and since we had no plans until 4pm we decided to......


Up next Port Orleans Riverside FUN!
 
Once we got back we headed off to the fishing hole.. the kids have been wanting to do this since we told them we were staying here!

085_zps0b63d768.jpg


Oh yeah..live worms.. epic.. I dont do worms or dirt.. made the hubby who doesnt fish deal with it..lol

088_zpsd07fe06f.jpg


093_zps1570f45c.jpg


Ziah and Taejan moved about 100 times
094_zps07bb0bcc.jpg


Nothing was biting..nothing..it was rather annoying honestly...
THEN Wonder boy got himself a fish!
096_zps943bc273.jpg


then a 2nd one!
098_zps6314f2a4.jpg


After that..once Ziah and Taejan got over themselves because they caught nothing..we went to the main pool..
100_zpsdb300957.jpg


Where I had some rum.. I think they mixed it with juice..but all I wanted was the rum...
101_zps1bf0c6db.jpg


102_zpsc822db08.jpg


Declan played games at the pool..this was the one and only time we did this!

103_zps9e8e14cd.jpg


104_zpse2bb7593.jpg


This place has to be the prettiest resort in WDW in my opinion
105_zps81b59aa4.jpg


Then we headed off to the quiet pool near our room..the kids refer to this as the jelly bean pool due to the shape..

After the pool we got back and mousekeeping had been there..

119_zps7b09f5ae.jpg


120_zps371e2eb7.jpg


We always knew when we had "our" mousekeeper because the Murphy bed was left down.. if it was up we had a fill in..lol

121_zps56a5b75d.jpg


122_zps8ec6646c.jpg


After that we grabbed some snacks and chilled for a few before MNSSHP!!!
 
I'm all caught up and I have to say it looks like y'all are having SO much fun! Love all the smiles at Ohana :)
 
Fun update! I love Ohana breakfast. Stitch is one of my favorite characters. My youngest had a Stitch and Angel stuffed animal and he pretended to walk off with them which brought many laughs.

I love that Declan is not too old for characters. I hope my girls are the same.

Swimming looked fun! That pool looked awesome, and the mid-air pics of your kids jumping in are great.

The waterpark looks fun, but we can never justify spending the extra $$ because we live in Wisconsin, the supposed "Waterpark Capital of the World" and have so many less than 2 hours away, we go there often. Maybe one year!

Your kids are gorgeous, btw.
