Wet, Sweat, Fun & Sun But You Have HOW Many Snack Credits Left?

[DizNee Luver]

Our family was called, so the family headed up the stairs as I took Michayla up in the elevator. We were seated in the center dining area close to the windows (window tables seem to be mainly 2 & 4 tops, so we had one table between us & the windows). You do need to go down a couple steps to reach this dining area but we opted to lift Michayla's chair down so we could sit in this area. Michayla wasn't in a great mood & was grabbing dishes, silverware & napkins faster than I could push her into her place at the table. She was tired and stressing out. As soon as we were seated, we got the iPad up & running so she could watch The Wiggles (this was a theme for all table service meals).....she settled down and we were able to enjoy our dinner.









The first princess to visit us was Snow White.





The next princess was Aurora.






Ariel was next to visit us.





And the 4th princess was Jasmine.





Jasmin had to have a picture with Jasmine!



The starters for our table:

Cheese Plate (kids & adult serving of kid starters)~~Cheese & Grapes





Cheese Plate (adult)~~Trio of Cheese & Accompaniments



Pork Belly Confit~~Pork Belly with Raspberry Habanero Sauce, Blistered Tomatoes, Micro Cilantro & Radishes



Corn & Crab Soup~~Soup of the Day



Gluten Free Rolls for Shy & I



Did you spot the hidden Mickey on the roll??

Snow White got around to Michayla (who was tucked between 3 tables & not easy to access).



Ariel also went to visit Michayla (who was wearing an Ariel inspired dress)

Anthony cracks me up Wow and OMG about the rain The food looks good and I did this for breakfast when I was Addy and Jasmin's age (though I was about a month away from turning 11). I'm 20 now by the way

 

[DizNee Luver]

Dinner is served.......

Chicken Nuggets (kids)



Chicken Nuggets (adult sized kid meal)



Steak & Shrimp~~Grilled Beef Tenderloin & roasted shrimp with Heirloom Tomatoes & Gouda Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus



Gnocchi & Roasted Vegetables~~Assorted vegetables and gnocchi with a sauce?? Derek said this was extremely dry & really needed more sauce.



Pork Tenderloin~~Slow roasted Pork Tenderloin with Potatoes & Root Vegetables with a Cherry Sauce



Desserts:

Chocolate Cake with Hazelnuts??



Cheesecake with Strawberry Sauce



Lime & Jasmine Tea Mousse



Lemon Sorbet with Blueberries



We had a great dinner with excellent service. Our waiter was Fernando and he earned an extra tip for this pre-paid meal. He actually got us a refund on Michayla's meal since she doesn't eat anything orally. He went the extra mile and he didn't have to on this. He's the one that thought it was silly we were charged for Michayla in the first place. We got a couple more pictures before we headed downstairs.







It was after 8pm and Michayla was fussy, we worked our way through the crowds that were gathering for the parade & fireworks coming up. Mike snapped a few pictures on our way out the gates & to the bus stop.







What a first day at Magic Kingdom!! We ate at 2 different restaurants (Casey's Corner & CRT), we did the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, we did 14 attractions (2 we repeated for a total of 16) and did a Meet-n-Greet with Elsa & Anna. Between the M&G & CRT, we saw 7 princesses/queen. I'd say overall, a GREAT DAY!!
(Mike didn't like the pace of day one......"marathon" I think was a word used....he didn't get to take pictures like he usually does, but I think we got a ton....just not a lot of Photopass other than the girls after the BBB and our meal at CRT) Due to the grumbling about the long day, I got on the My Disney Experience app and changed our FP+ selections for Epcot the next day to allow for a late start.

Anthony is a typical 14 yr old teen boy.....lol

The rain was crazy!

Mike, Derek & I did CRT for breakfast in 2013......I think I enjoyed that meal more than the dinner.....but they got rid of the breakfast I loved (the lobster crepe)

20?? How can that be???

August 10~~Our first Epcot Day

I woke up early and decided to do a couple batches of laundry while the kiddos slept.....awwww the twins so cute!!



Michayla longing to be in the pool.......



I went to the laundry room and you pay by Debit or Credit card. It's $2.50 per wash & $2.50 per dry. I think there may have been a couple machines that took coins but I can't remember seeing a dryer that did. I started 3 batches and headed back to the room. It takes about 25 minutes for the washers, so I got our bags ready to go to the park. I went back and switched stuff to the dryers and we had breakfast at Everything Pop. After breakfast I picked up our clothes, put them in our room, grabbed our stuff for the day and headed out to the bus stop about 10:30am. I had already changed our FP+ selections to allow for the later start. We got to Epcot around 11:15am.





Addy went into mega-meltdown, so when we stopped to do a Photopass picture, we had her step out since she was screeching & crying. YAY??!! These are the Photopass photos.





Addy's pouting.......



I went to get a DAS return time for Spaceship Earth & they sent us to the wheelchair entrance. We were met by a CM who scanned us in & had us go to a waiting area until called to go up the exit ramp to the ride. I can't tell you if they have a w/c ride vehicle, as we decided just to transfer Michayla into a ride vehicle.

As always loved the update. So curious about CRT. When we went years ago they had the character breakfast but dinner was no characters. So I assume it is only characters now? Is it that way for lunch too? We love to eat there and had planned to do it next year but if it is a character meal I doubt my mom will want to do it cuz I know it costs even more that way and since we aren't doing a dinning plan I don't think she will want to. Also I saw your photopass pics but do they still make the packages or is it different if you have the memory maker? When we went they took pics and brought packages around to try and sell you. And wow you really did get a soaking. That is one thing about there that is rough. We know to expect rain and have had at least some every trip and others we had a ton. I know to expect it but it does kind of put a damper on things esp when you only have so much time and things close down because of the rain.

Loved the pics from epcot. Too bad Addy was in a bad mood. And LOVE spaceship earth. This is another fave of ours!!

 

[DisneyJo]

What a great MK you had and you got so much done too

I'm so sorry but I did laugh at your Epcot photo, Addy looks so sorry for herself

 

[DnA2010]

Oh wow I got behind over the weekend!
How is little one doing now after the Emerg ordeal?

When you said the boys were renting a boat, I had one of those little ones in my head for some reason

Sorry to hear your A/E meet-up wasn't great, the Elsa we had on the Fantasy was going nuts over kids in dresses, especially the ones in her dress! (Anna wasn't there ) so surprised to hear about the lack of effort.

CRT- way to go Fernando on getting you a credit! That was great of him! Is it me, or do Aurora and Ariel look a little...I don't know off? Maybe a bit older than most?

Love the carousel pics, the kids all look very happy, especially M!

 

[WDWJonasGirl]

Looking good. I find the pouting Addy pic hilarious Poor thing

CRT is princesses (4 + meeting Cinderella downstairs) at all 3 meals. I don't think they do the printed package with the meal now, just add it to your Memory Maker or maybe you can purchase at one of the Photopass stores.

Yeah, I don't even remember what set her off but she went off so I told her to go sit down.

What a great MK you had and you got so much done too

I'm so sorry but I did laugh at your Epcot photo, Addy looks so sorry for herself

We did get a lot done on our MK day and as you keep following along, I'm glad we did for Shy's sake.

It is kinda funny now, but at the time....I wasn't happy that she was acting like that. We also got home and discovered we don't have THAT picture with all of us in it....that was our shot at the whole group due to Shy's sickness later on in the trip.....so now it irritates me......heavy sigh!

Shy's feeling better, but the weather is also much cooler.....which I know is playing into all of this.

Elsa was meh......but Anna made it worth it!!

I know, I didn't bring it up, he said "you have paid for 2 kids....who's the 2nd one"? I said, Michayla.....he goes "but she's not eating". I said, I know....but that's how it works. I had to pay for our entire family. He said, "I'll be right back". He came back and told us he got his manager to approve a credit for Michayla's meal. We got it refunded to my bank account like 2 days later. Over the top service because he surely didn't have to do that, but it was greatly appreciated. When you pre-pay for the meal, the tip is included......but we added a nice bonus on to the pre-paid amount.

Snow White looked weird to me, but Ariel definitely looked a tad older....guess I didn't notice on Aurora.

Looking good. I find the pouting Addy pic hilarious Poor thing

It pretty much was the last meltdown she had on the trip....thank goodness!!

Wow! Your MK day was really full!
Casey's always looks good, but I have never been there . Too bad about the table shark.

Looks like you all had so much fun. Too bad Jasmine didn't like Mine Train.

I have seen the giant peeking into that shop, but I forgot about it until now. Great shot!
I'm glad everyone did so well and you had a great dsy! Good call to sleep in the next day!

Great updates!

It was a full day, but fun!! Casey's is a great quick service meal.....I highly recommend it! I figure that karma will pay him back.....I think part of it was a cultural misunderstanding.

You just have the most adorable family! What an incredible first day you had! That is a TON you fit in! 16 attractions, 2 meals, BBB AND a pretty fantastic Meet n Greet! Nicely done. My hubby is the same way. We just don't tour the same way. At all. That's why we're going mostly without him this time. :/

Anyway, your photos are so fun to see; everyone is having such a great time!!

Thanks!! When I wrote down what we did, I was shocked to see that we had accomplished so much in one day!

After our travel through the ages on Spaceship Earth, we took some random shots of the area before using our first Fastpass+ selection at the Character Spot.







We scanned our MagicBands and headed inside to see Mickey Mouse, Goofy & Minnie Mouse.



Michayla was pretty happy to see Mickey!! She kept kissing his nose!! (the first picture is a Photopass picture)













After signing the autograph books & hugging everyone, these are the Photopass pictures of the kids & with Mike and I.

 

[DizNee Luver]

Next we stepped to our left to visit with Goofy. I'm SOOOOOOOO glad that Mike took pictures of this, because the Photopass camera malfunctioned and anyone that had pictures taken with Goofy by that camera ended up with NADA! Goofy & Michayla had a sweet interaction that I would have been crushed to not have pictures of it. When you see these, you'll understand why.

















After lots of love & spins with Goofy (he even spun Michayla in her chair), he passed us off to Minnie Mouse. These are from Minnie's Photopass photographer.







Minnie signing all the autograph books.



The group shots with Minnie by the Photopass photographer.





We met back up with Derek....he decided to pass on the character meet-n-greet.

 

[kelmac284]

Aww those are great. Makes my heart melt to see how happy Michayla and Jasmin and of course all the kiddos were. So cute!

 

[Vernie822]

I am catching up on your report, but I just have to say I LOVE the BBB photos!!! All of the girls seem to have had a great time... such adorable pictures! I love Michayla with the Photopass guy too, hahaha. So fun. Coolest Mom and Dad ever!

And the goofy pics... nothing better! Priceless.

I don't know why I find it so funny that Shyann chose the blonde snow white hair.. hahaha. Adorable.

 

[Lizzards]

ah... those Goofy pics are priceless!!! What a great character meet and memory!
