Bre: “Ivan WHERE are you?”
Bre: “On a What?”
Bre: “Both of you get over here NOW!”
<Hangs up the phone>
Me: “Where are they?”
Bre: “They said they’re on a rollercoaster.”
Me & Mom: “WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!?!!?" Said in my best Mrs. Brofloski (South Park) voice
I asked her where they went because who knows where they really went and she wasn’t sure. They told her, but she couldn’t hear them well. Meanwhile I informed Bre that they just used up one of their park days and we (well they) only had 3 park days and now they’re down to 2 and have 1 less than everyone else.
She hadn’t realized this and I told her they just messed up their park tickets.
This is when I silently blamed myself
for giving them their KTTW, but it never crossed my mind that they would sneak off to a park by themselves.

Now I knew better though. Bre didn’t know what to do now and apologized to Mom and I. I felt bad for her; but darnit, if she had the slightest inkling of what her kids are capable of (which I didn’t), she should have maybe told me not to give them KTTW cards or taken them from them herself. Hindsight and all that.
It was almost seven and our ADR at Boma was for 8:30pm. I didn’t know if they would be back in time for us to make it, so I talked with Mom and asked if I should change the ressie in case they don’t make it in time. She said sure and then asked me what was the food like at Boma. I read her the menu from the WDWinfo site and she said she didn’t think the boys would eat there.
Great.
So I checked out other places that I might be able to get a ressie and came up with Spoodles and Concourse Steakhouse. I didn’t really want to cancel the Boma so I called Disney Dining to see if they had a later time, but they said no.

So I thanked them and then I took a page out of a TR I had read (V’s

) and called Disney Dining back and made a ressie under my Mom’s name for Spoodles and called back and made a ressie under Bre’s name for Concourse Steakhouse.
So now my ADR list looked like this:
Boma @ 8:30 pm
Or
Spoodles @ 9:10 pm
Or
Concourse Steakhouse @ 9:50 pm
Bre had to call the Minions back because 45 minutes had gone by and they still weren’t back. They told her they were on their way. Meanwhile my Mom is giving her parenting advice and I’m still mad at what they did and Minion #3 was watching Stacy and the top things to do at Disney.
When the Minions got back Bre went into full on mom mode and grilled them on what they did. She didn’t yell at them, she just calmly asked them (my Mom’s advice, since I know that tactic very well from my Mom

) what they did. Minion #2 quickly ratted out Minion #1 saying that Minion #1 (Daniel) suggested they take a bus over to MGM to ride the roller coaster. Minion #1 said that he wanted to ride a roller coaster so they went to MGM to ride one. So Bre asked them what else they did? They said nothing because they had to wait almost 2 hours to ride the roller coaster. A whole park ticket wasted on 1 ride!
Me in my head
Oh my little goodness.
Bre then explained to them how they had just messed up their park tickets and now they only had 1 left and now they won’t be able to go with the rest of us the 3rd day we do parks. I don’t remember what else she said, but they hadn’t realized that that would happen if they used their tix. Minion #1 got super mad because Bre put a lot of the blame on him since he was the older than Minion #2 and he should know better and needed to tell her things before he did them (which is true IMO, and I think that little bit came from my Mom because she’s used that tactic on my brother and I as well

), but she did tell Minion #2 that if he thought it was a bad idea that he should've called her to let her know. Minion #1 holed himself up in the room because he was mad for being blamed. I asked everyone else what they would prefer to eat based on the restaurants I had ressies for, because we needed to make a decision soon. Everyone opted for steaks so while Mom and Bre got ready and the Minions decided to lay low I called Disney Dining to cancel the other 2 ressies.
Everyone was pretty quiet as we drove over to the Contemporary. Luckily though, my Mom being the peacemaker that she is told everyone that it was still her birthday and she didn’t want any sad faces.

The Minions had apologized to my Mom and I about what they did and we told them to apologize to their Mom, which they did.
I hadn’t been in the CR (well except for passing by in the monorail) so I was excited to explore a new resort. It wasn’t very Disney-ish, but it was nice. As we made our way to the elevators I spotted this statue:
We were able to check in early (for once!) and had a nice meal. The steak was just ok and I forgot to take pics of the food. In the middle of dinner as we waited for our entrees, Minion #1 said he was going to the bathroom and after a long time away we sent Minion #2 out to look for him and he found him in the arcade! (remember this)
Unfreakingbelievable!
So when he returned we stripped them of all their cards. I had already stripped them of their park cards (we had seperate KTTW and park cards), but when he pulled that stunt I decided to strip them of ALL the cards and said to them since they didn't know how to be responsible then they will be treated like little children.
As dinner was ending, we heard the BOOM BOOM of Wishes and watched them from inside the CR. Then we took a ride along the monorail and caught the electrical parade before heading back to our resort.
Tomorrow we hit THE Park.
