The starters...I cant remember what the little shell things were...I thought crab ragoons, wife says no......it was a pastry shell with a sausage mix in it..anyway......it was good!!!!

Hawaiian dude getting everyone ready for a dance......after the coconut race and dance lessons he came over and gave us a lei.....cuz he knew we were getting hit with coconuts......it made Momma happy!!!

Sounds like a great day! It seems like you can get through alot more when you aren't dragging kids around. You did alot!

 

[1gr8mouse]

This is probably one of my top 5 photos of the trip.....(probably #1, but I cant say that cuz LOVE would tell DW and I would get hit)......#1 is a photo of DW and I standing in front of the waterfall with love in our eyes!!

I get a tear in my eye just looking at it......We were done with dinner and I stopped by the fire pit.......snapped a quick photo, then I thought this guy probably never gets his photo taken....so I asked him if I could take one of him.....he says "sure, just a minute though"....he grabbed a few skewers and held them up.....gave out a growl.......arrrrrggggg !!! It was awesome!!!!

OMG I was thinking the same thing! It's been a loooooong time since UJ had to schlep a few toddlers around WDW! I think he's lost touch with the old days! Were you insanely jealous about how much shopping they've done so far??? And not once did he mention a kid whining they wanted something or touched something they shouldn't have and now it's broken! Amazing!

Amazing!

We usually avoid the stores or these very reasons! Can't say that I have ever walked along all of the stores on Main Street! I have many, many years until I can shop at WDW. Aidan is a tornado, Ainslee tries everything on, and Abby has learned to crawl. She is a terror!!!! Guess I will just have to hear about the wonderful shopping adventures of others, as I order off of disneyshopping.com

I thought I told you don't start without me!!

Good thing this baby isn't too long yet, but I only finished the first page. I am SO with you on the rental car. I am NEVER EVER going to wait on stupid Disney buses again. I know, I should have listened to you in the first place.

Ok, I'm going to try to continue to read, but I think Joe did something to my computer while I was away because it is moving SUPER SLOW!

Oh, yeah, AND...


I KNOW SOMETHING Y'ALL DON'T KNOW!

After dinner we had to jump on the boat back to POR......we had a carriage ride reserved.......momma didnt know about it!!!! So we just walked around POR and watched the piano guy for a bit.......I always forget his name, he is awesome with the kids...he has his own website..........very good....

So we went outside and sat on a park bench right by the carriage stop....Momma asked me "Are we going on a carriage ride??" I told her yes, he must be running a little late......he showed up about 5 minutes later......
It was very nice, the driver (Joe) did talk the whole time.......
It was funny though, he introduced us to his horse "Travis".....thats the name of our youngest son!!!!
Here are the photos!!!

You can see "Joe" wasnt very good with the camera!!

And Travis!!!

Momma was very happy with Daddy.....1 point for UJ!!!! We had a great day and evening!!!!!

BAM! Pictures!

PSA~ Smoking is bad for you!!!!!

Lets all plan a trip without kids!!!! LOVE you can leave them at Grandmas for a few days!!!!

How about a 3-4 day trip without kids???.......It's FUN!!!!!!
We could make it cheap......all stay at POP.......but we would have to the Disney Dining plan!!!! We would all have a riot!!!!!

 

[vdarrell]

OK so we wake up from our first night at POR......I dont know if some of you remember from my PTR but we booked an extra night because of flight changes.....Well, the first night was a room only reservation- no free dining....didnt make sense to get it because we were getting in so late.....

So I had to go back to registration and close out the room only and switch to the free dining promotion ressie.....

Well we were getting ready and DW yells for me to come look at the tub.....I go in there and she points out all the black mold in the caulk around the tub...it was pretty gross......she told me "I want to switch rooms, I dont like this one"..........So I got ready and off we go to the main building to see about switching rooms.....we really didnt like the location any way....

We went to registration and told them about our new ressie and etc., the guy made some calls and said "you are all set, you can stay in that room"....I said wait a minute we dont want that room.....it has black mold....he made the switch for us....no problem......plus a better building (90) and we had a ground floor room....which was nice, first time that has ever happened for us!!!! Only problem was we couldnt get in to the new room until 3:00pm, so we took all our luggage out of the old room, put it in the rental car...Kind of a pain but all in all worth it.... HEY, we were at Disney and not at work!!

Momma (thats what I call DW) was happy, thats all that really counts!!!!

I see Momma has trained you right.

I see Momma has trained you right.

It basically comes down to this simple rule:

If Momma's happy we are all happy,
If Momma's mad........LOOK OUT!!!!!

Enjoying Halloween Pics...Getting me pumped for my trip

Day 4 was spent at Epcot!!!! I really enjoy Epcot- I always have a good time there....We were up and ready to go by 8:30. DW's Mom and stepdad live in Tampa so we asked them to join us for a day at Epcot.....they have never been there so we were looking forward to showing them around.

We arrived at the park at 8:50am, we walked to the ticket area and sat on a bench and waited for them.......we gave them directions, told them the time etc.......DW was excited to see her mom........now let me clue you in on Jess (stepdad), he is a great guy but not someone who would care for anything Disney.....he likes his cocktails and beer, he is a candidate for a grumpy shirt!!!! I like him a lot, he is fun to be around.....

At first he wasnt going to come to Epcot but I think Grandma persuaded him!!!! Woman have a way of doing that!!!!

9:00am No Grandma........ring ring, DW cell goes off....."HI, we are going to be late, we are going by exit 34 right now (Epcot is exit 67!!), we ran in to construction traffic jams".........Well not much we can do about it....we sit and watch everyone go in to the park. ......you see, we had the tickets!!!!
If you read my PTR you would know we got 6 free park passes!!! We thought it would be nice to give a couple to Grandma & Jess!!!!

Now, this really didnt surprise me.....DW's whole family is always late!!!!Every holiday, picnic, get together at least half of them are late!!! Nothing new!!
(Yes, even LOVE is late!!! ha ha ha na na na na)

Finally, we saw grandma and Jess walking towards us!!!! DW got up an ran to her mom and gave her a big hug........made me happy!!!!!

We headed to the entrance!!!! We went first to kind of show them the whole ticket, fingerprint thing a machine!!!! (isnt it frustrating waiting for people to do that....then the ones that dont have a clue really tick you off!!!)
They both did really well!!!!

On to Epcot!!!

 

[1gr8mouse]

The great thing about our day at Epcot...place was empty!!!!! We hit it on the right day....We didnt fast pass anything..........Nada, zilch!!!!

We walked in, went right on to spaceship earth......They both liked it alot.....COOL, they are liking this whole park thing!!! We headed to The Seas pavillion......we entered where you get on the nemo ride......we got in our clamshells and watched.......I dont think they were real impressed with it.....but hey, it was cool inside and then we got to go in the aquarium area!!!! We spent an hour in the building!!! They both really enjoyed it. They had a trainer come do the dolphin show....pretty sad the dolphins were not cooperating at all.....they did everything wrong!!!

Here are some photos:

Grandma & Jess!!! They ride a Harley together!!!!

Aquarium-

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

HAHAHAHAHA! Late! Sounds just like my mom and my sister. They make me late for everything and it is SO frustrating! I hate it when there's somewhere we have to be and we have to rush around because they made us late. I've always been the punctual one in the family.
