We stayed and rode EE again and Triceratops. Forgot to mention we also saw Devine for the 1st time today. It did rain for a while, but we were inside each time and lucked out. Dinner at Narcoossee's was delicious. I had the Surf and Turf, Tuna Tartar strawberry shortcake, Sangria, and a Firecracker (after dinner coffee drink).. YUMMY! We had a lovely table with a wonderful view. It was very kid friendly, and we will definitely go back. Rode the monorail back and saw the EWP and then Wishes. Tomorrow we have an early b'fast at 'Ohana and then spend the day at the MK. We also eat dinner at CRT. Tomorrow is our last night at the CR, and then we switch to the BC. Oh, and the CR delivered balloons, a signed Mickey card, and 3 chocolate Castle puzzle cards to the kids today. This is hands down our "home" at WDW. Night all!

Sounds like magical evening. Keep having a lot of fun and have a great day tomorrow. It's also great how you think of the Contemporary as your home, because I sometimes think that myself.

So two of your kids rode EE? My dd will be 7 in June and she loves rollercoasters and I know will want to try EE. My DH and I tried it last May and loved it, but I wasn't sure if the ride itself might be too intense for a younger kid. I remember feeling how strong the forces were going around those circular turns--but loving every minute of it. Your kids did ok?

I didn't realize that you were splitting your stay with the BC. We did that last year, 3 nights at CR, then 4 at BC. How funny.

Lovin your report! Hope you have a great day at MK!!

 

[Joanna71985]

Loving the report!

 

[MrsHeg]

Sounds like you're having a Magical time, so glad you finally made it!

 

[MomsOf2boys]

It sounds like you are having a GREAT trip!!! I love that you have matching shirts for the children every day. Do you get a lot of attention being a mother of triplets still? My friend has triplets 18mo old and can't go to the bathroom at walmart without someone wanting to discuss them. I just wondered if it ever stops.

Today was great. We got up early for breakfast at 'Ohana. The line to check in was 20 minutes , but we were seated around 10 minutes later. The food was good, and the kids love the parade and Stitch. Stitch took Rees' milk and drank it, and they thought that was hilarious. Then we bought some pins (Rees now wants to trade too) and headed to the MK. The crowds were great today, and it was cooler with overcast this am. Wait times were very nice (20 min for Pooh, 20 min for Splash, 10 for BTMRR, 10 for Buzz).

We rode Aladdin's carpets, Jungle Cruise , POC (which Rees rode and LOVED!), Splash (which drenched DD, DS, and me), HM (Rees didn't ride), Pooh, Teacups, Indy Race Cars, Buzz, and then Laugh Floor. At the Laugh Floor DH was picked at the beginning to dance, and then Rees was selected at the end by Mike W's nephew for the kid who tells what he wants to be (Rees said a pilot). The show is adorable. Then we headed to the Castle to eat at CRT for dinner. the food was good and we all enjoyed the Celebration show. After dinner we went to Toontown and rode the train around the MK, saw Mickey and Minnie's house and Donald's boat. Then Rees out of the blue said he wanted to ride Goofy Barnstormer. Well, he ADORED it and insited on riding again immediately. Then he asked if we could go back to BTMRR because he wanted to ride THAT! I was SHOCKED! Well, we rode it and he loved it and wasn't scared even of the dark tunnel with the bats!!! So we rode it again twice. Then he asked if we could go back to AK to try EE. I am so happy that he was able to conquer some of his fears and sensory issues and ride POC and 2 roller coasters today. What a huge difference. This is the child who we couldn't get to go on Peter Pan 2 years ago. We just had the best time today.

After BTMRR we got a Dole Whip float (hi, Marti! ) and some treats at the Main Street Confectionary. Then we came back to the CR and watched Wishes from the 4th floor balcony. We are now packing up to head to the BC tomorrow to check in. We go back to DHS tomorrow and then Epcot on Friday.

Have a great night and celebrate with me that Rees did so well!

Wow Denise that sounds like an amazing day and it's great Rees went on all those attractions.

Oh, I forgot that I met several DISers today. Monicatb from Mexico and another lurker on the DISign board and someone from TGM. They all recognized the kids and our matching shirts.

 

[SLDL]

That is great that you were all able to enjoy the rides! My DS5 has developed a fear of the rides & I don't think DD2 will be tall enough when we go in July to ride much, so we'll probably be doing the Buzz Lightyear ride alot. Maybe my DS will become more fearless like Rees. Wonder what was the turning point? Seeing his siblings enjoy the rides so much?

GREAT DAY!!! I am so glad your son Rees did well on the rides I know that makes you feel good, and early Mother's Day gift.

I hope we run into you on Sat to say HI!! We are going to the Magic Kingdom in the morning on Sat and EPCOT after lunch for dinner at the Coral Reef do you know where you will be on Sat??

Have a great day at DHS cannot wait for another update.

Denise, I'm crying tears of joy for Rees.

 

[PrincessPaczki]

Denise, thank you for taking your time and giving us the review of your day! I think it is wonderful that Rees is enjoying Disney so much this year to ride everything. It must thrill you to pieces!! I can't wait to read about your next days adventures. Oh, by the way, have a great time at storm along bay and the BC. My boys, DH, and myself really love it there.

 

[thatgirl23]

Hi I know you don't know me, but I had a quick question if that's ok. If you don't mind me asking, what time was your reservation for Ohana? We're trying to decide what time to schedule breakfast there and want to avoid a huge line if possible. We're not sure which is better, earlier seating time or one of the last seating times.

Thanks!

 

[Steamboat Marti]

WAY TO GO REES! YOU TELL HIM THAT WE ARE ALL PROUD OF HIM AND CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT HIS ADVENTURES!!!

And save me a Dole Whip for December please!
