we're DRIVING? With 2 KIDS UNDER 2?! WDW or INSANITY here we COME (INSANITY)

[my3princes]

I guess it's either a brave idea or a bad idea for your trip. Personally I just don't understand people that take children under 4 or 5 years of age. But that's just me I guess.

Good luck.

The younger the better. It is all magic at young ages, waiting too long can make it less magical.

Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Hang in there

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

DMM I'm so sorry to hear about your Uncle. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Michelle your trip report is hilarious. I laughed out loud when you sprinkled pixie dust on Sal to start your trip. When Sal did the pee pee dance while getting gas I actually had tears coming down my face. You definitely have a knack for writing this stuff. I can't wait to hear more.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Grocery stores!!

Alright, so i take off for the Publix in order to get some grocery stuffs for us and some other POPpers!! it wasn't that far, but i somehow managed to get lost in all the lights and hoopla in Kissimmee! i couldn've sworn i was driving down the Vegas Strip it was sooo bright!! I think i had to do like 3 U-Turns and i was still confused!! i FINALLY made it to the Publix, but no where NEAR the one i was headed to!! haha!! how did this happen!!

I grab my car and find myself face-2-face with prices that i could have paid grocery shopping in the POP food court!! oh well i am here and i am not going ANYWHRE!!

I have my list from other and my own.

I start going and grabbing and then YIKESSS! NO LIQUOR sold here!!! keep in mind i am buying for abour 6 other DISers, so i ask the manager, where is your Vodka, Rum and stuff like that!!?? He looks at me like i'm some kid and is like 'the liquor store is down the road!!" grrrr....

sop i grap and go and then off to the liquor store where, i get what i need and then hop in the car!


I am trying to stuff my CC in my purse and then i notice that i had my DHs credit card the ENTIRE TIME!! we both have the EXACT same card! i went to BOTH these places and NEVER had anyone question me!! Publix AND the liquor store even asked to see ID after i signed MY NAME! well now i'm a little perplexed as my last name is not even the same as DHs, so what did she think when she saw my ID?>???

Well i get back to the resort (safely and i DID NOT get lost) and i find my DH outside the room, with his foot in the door. He helps me get everything inside and then says to me

HOW DO YOU DO IT ALL DAY?!?!?!?!?

My kids are only in diapers (feeding mess!!)
and sitting in the play pen (daddy wan't quick enough to stop them from getting into everything!!)

I walk in and the kids both smile and start jumping up and down!!

poor DH, he's not Mr. Mom material! hahaha!!!

As i was lugging stuff in i notice our door has been signed a lot already and i find out:

MY NEIGHBOR IS A DISER!?!!?!
How crazy is that!?!?!
TinkELGee, it was great staying next to you!!!

but then i notice that someone has been writing some not so family friendly stuff on my board! and not swear words! it was graphic stuff i was so upset, and since i had some great signings already, we decided to just black it out with a dark perm. marker!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Well it's getting late and i have organized a DIS meet for tonite, so we figure we will suit up the kiddos and then eat at the food court and off to the pool!! (no we DID NOT swim for 30 minutes after we ate )

POP FOOD COURT DINNER
4 out of 5 stars
****

I had a cheeseburger with fries and tie dye cheesecake for dessert it was all sooooo yummy! but the cheesecake was FABULOUS!! The fries were cold, so that's where they lost a star.

DH had a FABULOUS FABULOUS mediterannean flat bread type of thing and it was sooo good!! DD had some of that and a bit of my burger meat. He had this really neat chocolate mousse with worms in it for dessert!! very cool!

The lines were FAST even though they were crowded and the entire area was VERY CLEAN! we found a table NO PROBLEM! The only problem we encoutered was a family filling up their CSR mugs at the refill station:

DH:

Michelle! .....Michelle!

ME:

WHAT>?? (i am like 5 people away from him)

DH:
ummm are we at CSR?????

ME: ummm last i checked it's POP CENTURY!

DH:

ohh i thought so too! thanks!

We got our mugs refilled and were gone!!

Tables were clean and people were clearing as we were eating, so it was nice!!

Those TVs captured DSs attention and DD was busy people watching! all in all it was a GREAT dining experience!!

 

[MyGoofy26]

I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle. Hope you're all doing well considering the circumstances and they find the person responsible.

The only problem we encoutered was a family filling up their CSR mugs at the refill station:

We saw a few filling up from other resorts as well. The best was the family filling up a regular sports bottle, pretty big too - at least a liter. At least the people with other resort mugs paid Disney at one time or another!

POOL TIME
We had a blast at the kiddie pool! Gabriel and Autumn loved being in the giant bathtub without a bar of soap in site

The mini meet went great and i finally got to meet many of the DISERS that i spent soo much time with at the POP thread!!! it was great!!!

HIYA POPpers!!! i loved meeting you all!!!

Some DISers that were NOT POPpers even met up with us! it wsz pretty cool!!

--------

Well we get back to the room and the nasty noters are back. We had a skeleton hanging on our door ( you will see once i get my pics tonite!!) and the nasty noters had DRAWN GENITALIA on the skeleton?!!? i was soooo mad! i mean how can people be so down right rude?!?!

Well we got to work making it into a bog mickey head type of thing and then just wrote the Room number in is, so it looked like it was done on purpose!

NOW DH had a plan....

We decided to put up a fresh sheet of paper and more markers and we were READY! DH had to run over to the car and he took the walkie talkie with him, he stood around the corner and watched.....

Not 5 minutes later, 2 teenage boys (about 15) came up to the door and started colorfully writing all over the clean paper. more innuendoes and such and then DH beeped me and said NOW!!!!
so i swung open the doors and there they stood, marker in hand!!

I asked them if they knew that there were children in this room and next door and EVERYWHERE that walked by these signs and if they were that eager to color buy a coloring book and do it in your room!

The just stared and turned around and left. DH told them when they crossed his path, that they are more than welcome to sign our door, but STOP with the immaturity!

so that was FINALLY taken care of and no more nastiness for the rest of the week!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Well it's time i addressed my very own Trip reprt troll!

I guess it's either a brave idea or a bad idea for your trip. Personally I just don't understand people that take children under 4 or 5 years of age. But that's just me I guess.

Good luck.

As i can tell you DID NOT read my trippie otherwise you would know that my trip was over and we had a BLAST! not to mention it was my DDs SECOND trip! and we did GREAt last year too! We had fun, our kids had fun and how could i deny my children the opportunity to feel MAGIC all around them?? Oh and DS was technically there in the womb last year WDW is for children of ALL AGES! there was more that my kids COULD do there than what they could NOT do! If you question those people that take young children, maybe you should have been by my side while i was watching my DD dance with Leo and June from Little Einsteins as tears of joy slid down my face or as DS fell in love with Minnie Mouse when she came to our table at Chef Mickey's and played with him for a good 5 minutes and DHs eyes welled up and that little tear escaped. Or how about when we got onto IASW and both kids just clapped and cheered as we passed all the dolls and DH and i could just smile. We found magic and pixie dust in all we did and many other people that bring babies do too

You guys are awesome! You're like the POP police! ::cop:

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

thanks!! it was fun!! we like to make our own fun outside of the parks

 

[Twingle]

thanks!! it was fun!! we like to make our own fun outside of the parks

I would think that anyone that carries their own pixie dust to sprinkle on their DH would have NO problem making their own fun outside of the parks!

Yay - a few updates all at once! Can't wait to see the pics later. Also, I LOVED how you responded to your troll! You did get pics of all of those moments, didn't ya?

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Oh yes!! lots of pics and too much video! it was all too magical!!!!

 

[monymony3471]

Glad to see you are back. Now I have to add Walkie Talkies to my packing list.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Walkie talkies are a MUST for us! we NEVER go anywhere seperately, but it's great when one of us goes on a ride and the other is with the kids (then we can radio locations!!)

but the BEST use of them this trip???

EXPEDITION EVEREST!!!!


I had mine and dictated my location and the line for DH (with the baby swap the second person does not go through the same line) THEN when i boarded i told him what train i was in. (he was in the area where he could see the cars going uphill and then when they came out of the mountain!!) As i was about to go up, i radioed him and told him and he got the camera ready!!! THEN he videtaped me! soo cool! i did the same for him! it's a great part of the video!!

I love it!!

DMM, you are hilarious!! I cannot wait to read what happens next!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

After a long day, it was time for some sleep!!!!! we didn't have anything sheduled for the AM, because we just KNEW we wanted to sleep in after the drive and all the running around!!!

The beds were comfy and DS fell fast asleep in the play pen!!!
DD had her own bed and she was in HEAVEN!!!!
( how come the tinyest of us all gets her own bed and i have to share?????)

We didn't set an alarm and decided to just go with the flow of whenever we woke up! we only knew we had a ressie for OHANA in the evening.

So for now goodnight until tomorrow!!!!!

 

[PrincessV]

Well said! Who'd have thought TR's would attract trolls?!
And, while I'm at it, kudos to you and your DH on your handling of the graffiti artists
