The Year of Disney Trips: ***Update!!!! 8/20/08****

So you got slammed with the bill for the cake. I wonder why they assumed you wanted a cake? It is a beautiful one. I love the flower on it.

Ooh! Swanky expensive bubbly!


:eek:

I dunno, I just told them it was her birthday and if she would be getting a cake or cupcake. I think they only heard cake and gave me the form to fill out, and me thinking it was because she was an adult went ahead and filled out the form.

Yes, very yummy expensive bubbly! Mmmmm.




Beautiful cake even if you did have to pay for it, hope it was delicious :rotfl2:


Oh no where are they????????????????????????????????

The cake was very yummy, it made for good breakfast food. ;)

Mmmm Dom! Did you get to drink some, too?

Where are they? What a cliffhanger.

::yes::

OOhhh where did they go. Great update.

I have been reading....read your last trip but did not respond. am going away...so I am subbing so I can keep up.
Where did they go?

I can't believe you left us hanging like that?! :eek:

Where did they go???? :confused3 Where did they go???? :confused3 :eek:


Now that's what I call a cliff hanger :eek:

Find out soon!!

Oh my gosh! Please do not tell me that they took off to a park on their own.:scared:
:rolleyes1
 
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
074.gif
for giving them their KTTW, but it never crossed my mind that they would sneak off to a park by themselves.:headache: 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. :3dglasses

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. :sad2: So I thanked them and then I took a page out of a TR I had read (V’s:thumbsup2 ) 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:stir: ) 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. :mad: :sad2: :headache:

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:stir:), 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:

CIMG1771.jpg


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):teacher:

Unfreakingbelievable! :headache:

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. :cool1:

Holy cow! I would have lost it,:mad: gone into a screaming rage.:rotfl:

Minion #1 sure does sound like a handful. I hope that after that night everything went a bit more smoothly for you.
 
OMG I can't believe they did that :headache: That is just outrageous and then to sneak off to the arcade too :mad: In a way I'm pleased that they'll miss a park day for that!!!!!!!!!

At least you got to see Wishes though :rotfl2:
 

I wondered if they went to a park, but I didn't think about the wasting a park day! :headache: Yikes! Then he went to the arcade?! I'd be livid. :mad:
I can't wait to read what happens onthe day you guys are in the parks and they don't have a day... :confused3
 
Oh my GOSH!! Sounds like mom has her hands full with #1. I feel so bad for you, all that planning. I'd almost be afraid to leave him and #2 alone while you do your park day without them.

Can't wait to hear how you solve that problem!!
 
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What a shame and what a waste of a park ticket :sad2:

That's a moment that none of you will ever forget.

I'm glad you enjoyed your dinner.

I can't believe he snuck away to the arcade :headache:

Hooboy.

I would have flipped. Mostly over the wasting of a park ticket. Also, going and not informing anyone.

I do hope a park day is lost and staying in the room is required.
 

Love this cat!!! :rotfl: Having 3 sons myself (& an Italian temper), I would have been beside myself on all counts!!!! Sneaking off without telling anyone, wasting a park day & going to the arcade! Wasting a park day!!!! :mad: :mad: Can't wait to hear what they did the day the rest of you went to a park! You know what they say about paybacks.....!! ;)
 
OMG - I can't believe the Minions went and used up a day's ticket to wait in line for 2 hours and ride RNR!!!:eek:

I hadn't even thought that THIS was how they'd end up using their cards...I was waiting for you to tell us that they'd charged hundreds of dollars to your room account or something.

I'd have strangled them!!:headache:
 
Hey Z, I am back and still trying to catch up. I would have killed those kids for 1. taking off like that, 2. wasting a park tix 3. not learning their lesson and going to the arcade

Anyhow, you had some great updates when I was away. As I say with MS, no need for Botox when all you need is one trip on the orange side;)

Oh I did lose it, I went on a raving rant to my cousin Bre on what I would do if I were her. But I'm not a parent, so I really can't say right now what I'd do, but what I think I would do.

Like I said in the intro, Minion #1 is 15 going on 30. He is a HUGE handful.

OMG I can't believe they did that :headache: That is just outrageous and then to sneak off to the arcade too :mad: In a way I'm pleased that they'll miss a park day for that!!!!!!!!!

At least you got to see Wishes though

He really pushes his mom's boundaries. I feel bad for my cousin, but at the same time it's frustrating seeing how she deals with them.

Wishes was lovely though. :goodvibes

Yup, I didn't really care that they went to a park it was that they wasted that park day. It's not like we could've salvaged it either and all decide to do a park that day because it was so late. :mad:
If I were my cousin I seriously think I would've dragged him out of the restaurant, but again, that's what I say now.

Oh my GOSH!! Sounds like mom has her hands full with #1. I feel so bad for you, all that planning. I'd almost be afraid to leave him and #2 alone while you do your park day without them.

Can't wait to hear how you solve that problem!!

Yeah my cousin's hands are very full with her older Minions. The other 2 still seem to respect her at least. We had the do we really wanna leave them alone talk.

Stay tuned to see what happens.

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hooboy.

The wasted park ticket was what I was mad about. Dinner was ok, I thought the steak would've been better at Concourse Steakhouse. :confused3
Just remember the arcade incident. :teacher:

:lmao: Love that cat. That's probably what I looked like if I only had a tail. :rotfl2:

Oh my, you have 3 sons too so you know what a handful they can be. I honestly don't know how my cousin deals with them sometimes. I have nothing but respect for all parents because kids really do suck so much out of you. At the same time though, my cousin won't be up for Mother of the Year anytime soon though. :rolleyes:

LL I think they beat you out on how many attractions they did at MGM :lmao: .

Oh we're not done with the KTTW issues. :rolleyes1

Hey Z, I am back and still trying to catch up. I would have killed those kids for 1. taking off like that, 2. wasting a park tix 3. not learning their lesson and going to the arcade

Welcome back Mo! Are you continuing on your TR about your recent trip? Did ya notice my ticker? I'll be going back to the World soon!! :cool1:

I wanted to kill them for all those, but I'd put wasting the park tix at #1 :rolleyes:
 
I'm still here. I read the last installment. I didnt respond because I was mad, and didn't know what to type. :sad2:
