When in doubt, feed the bear....but not that!!!Day 6- Last day blues

[Poolrat]

Hey, I have the same pictures of that pool/fountain in the Casitas!

It's a classic!!!

Oh man, that stinks....especially when you had to wait for a bus so long.

I could not believe it when the hostess told me. Then I looked at my watch and

Hey, she’s bad enough obviously. You don’t have to encourage her!!!

Jealous??????

Wonder if he would be impressed with YOUR tumble monkey routine???

I WAS a gymnast. Not sure I could keep up with him now though.

A Disney Dork??? OCD planner type flying by the seat of your pants???

I know right??? What has gotten into me?

Well, I’m no tumble monkey.........but I appreciate being missed at least!!!

I know you have been busy. But yes, always miss you around here.

Everyone has been so busy. Now you a tumble monkey... That I would like to see.

Hey lady! This is a family discussion board! We’ll have NONE of that! I know in this day of digital cameras you don’t have to worry about getting those type pics developed, but sheeesh!!!

Figures your mind would go there.

Hey, we’re not ALL that bad!! Some of us have a good sense of direction finding our way! Heck, some of us can even tell you where to go................

Well, by giving good directions I mean!!!

Chris has a good sense of direction. A trait he did NOT get from his father.

I may need you to give me directions to test that out. We are not that far away from each other. I might find myself in your neck of the woods since your state has cheap gas.

As far as anywhere else you might tell me to go .... just remember...

Sorry you didn't make the buffet!!! If those buses were doing a better job, you wouldn't have totally messed it up stopping to take those pictures...........

Me taking 3 stinkin' pictures has NOTHING to do with the 40 minute trip it took to get there.

2:02pm and DENIED! Could you still see and smell the food???? Ugh - How terrible! I can't believe they stopped it that early, although I just read a review about the PM and it sounds like it has changed quite a bit in quality and quantity (not that you would know )

I don't blame you both for having a snit. I hope you find some food, and quick, at DTD!

 

[Poolrat]

Oh the poor hungry boy bear and his momma bear. I had heard that CSR stopped their lunch buffet at 2:00 and then started serving dinner at 4 p.m. I can't believe you missed it by just 2 minutes.

2 stinkin' minutes. And so hungry. Not happy. A True Disney snit for me. :sad2

Neither of us has any words at that point.

Hooray for Chris for remembering his way around my favorite resort. Had I been taking pictures and we missed lunch by 2 minutes, I know a certain Mark Bear who would have been mighty ticked off at me.

Can't wait to hear where you two finally eat.

He has a great sense of direction. As we zigged and zagged he was a pro and he had only been there once back in 2006 and we stayed in the cabanas that trip. I have learned to allow him to lead on occasion.

Oh no!!!!!

That stinks I really would have been upset. Doesn't sound like you had the kind of snit that I would have though where I threw myself on the floor like my 4 yr old and yelled that I was hungry. Oh wait - I would have only done that in my mind .

I almost threw myself on the floor. I remember looking at the floor at Pepper market and just wanting to to get my point across.

Your pics of CSR are great. We stayed there for 1 night many years ago when on a brief stop with my in-laws. Never even really saw the resort. It looks beautiful.

I am voting for EOS.

It is a very beautiful resort. Especially at Christmas.
DTD was an adventure too.

I would be in a snit too....no food = cranky me....lol

Oh yes- both of us hungry... super cranky.

No!!! I can't believe you were denied the Pepper Market buffet!

Oh No bueno...

When we get hungry in our family, we all tend to lose our minds. It is not pretty. Hope you got a meal soon.

Chris is bad but I am just as bad. Wonder where he got that from?

I circled outside but man I thought I could smell the food.

It was NOT what we needed right then and there.

I don't blame you both for having a snit. I hope you find some food, and quick, at DTD!

We eventually found food, but not without another adventure.

 

[brookelizabeth]

Hey, she’s bad enough obviously. You don’t have to encourage her!!!

This was almost worse. Hungry bear not good. But a preview... an app saved my life, because disaster almost happened again.

I can only imagine what happened...that bus did stop at the water parks, didn't it???? Those DTD buses drive me nuts!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Closed?? CLOSED???!!!!

This is the first time in recorded history that Disney has been unwilling to sell something to a guest! Unbelievable!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

ahh man sorry to hear that...hope the day turned around for you.

 

[Poolrat]

I can't rememebr if the bus stopped at TL, usually only if people are being dropped off in the afternoon and always on the way back. At that point I was not even looking out the window, I was nibbling on my arm.

Closed?? CLOSED???!!!!

RIGHT????!!!!!! PM is also operated by NON-Disney people. That probably explains it.

ahh man sorry to hear that...hope the day turned around for you.

It was NYE and there were awesome fireworks that night but I still needed to eat.

 

[jenb1023]

All caught up thanks to your handy dandy chapter links! Looking forward to reading about NYE (after you both get fed of course)!

 

[Millie12591]

Ooooh boy!! That SNIT wasn't near as bad as I thought it could be. I'd be pretty peeved myself, but I'm glad you didn't blow your top with the CM or Chris.

Just wait until were on vaca together this next May. You may get to witness what a SNIT looks like in our household! I hope not, but you never know, Mackie can really be a pistol and can truly tick her Mama off at times with her pissy attitude. <crossing fingers it won't happen>

Actually, Mackie and I are looking forward to being on the trip without any boys. She said we get along a lot better when the guys aren't there to annoy us with what they want to do. LOL! That's saying a lot since she really loves her daddy and big brother.

She's really looking forward to you and Ms. Maroo being there.

 

[jenseib]

I can't believe they didn't let you in...Oh my.! My family would've killed me!

 

[CatNipRules]

I'm loving your trip report. I just found it today and it made me smile. Your Chris sounds a lot like my Chris. You don't dare wake him up before he's ready. Otherwise you risk losing a limb. LOL!! Don't even get me started on feeding him! He's definitely a bear when he's hungry. LOL!

I'm looking forward to reading more!

I am trying to get and stay caught up around here. LIFE has been nutty lately.

Oh this was a snit all right but just wait we are not done.

Whe the CM denied us I thought for sure I was done. I may have even breathed a sigh of releif when he just walked away.

Oh yes Don't wake him up eaither.
In elementary school I actually found him a Biolight - an alarm clock witha light that slowly gets brighter during the 30 minutes before it due to go off. It really helped bring him out of sleep slowly and he was a functional. You still cant talk to him but at least now I was not ripping him out of bed.

That sounds like something we need to check into for Brooklynn. Bella is up and running at the crack of dawn, but Brooklynn would be happier if wake-up time was about eleven.

Naah, she's not that bad, but nine would suit her better than the 5-something it is now.

I just finished December 29th on the TR. Do you recall anything interesting about that night?

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Feet in the air on EE?!?
I don't think I'm limber enough to accomplish that one.

 

[vamassey1]

Great animal photos! I have the same camera, but wasn't brave enough to take pictures on EE.

Man, what a raw deal for lunch. Nothing is worse than being hungry and being denied. I don't know if I could have been silent for long, I know my jaw would have been set like stone.

I'm hoping thing eventually got better in DTD.

Here is a link but I know I did not pay that much for ours.

It really worked for Chris and he is better thatn he used to be and freaked recently when the bulb finally burned out. Clearly he still uses it and it works, especially in the winter when it so dark in the morning.

Not so much up in the air up off the ground. I think It may have been Nory's report where she got that tip. Looking forward to trying it but I usually make sure my legs are under that bar so I don't fly out.

I was holding it pretty tightly but usually can let go with my hands.

I was so mad and so hungry but really I did not say anything horrible. It was more damage control since I felt responsible because I had not checked for an end time to the buffet.

Going through old emails - really behind on those at work too.

[jeremysdisneymom]

Pat, I am getting all caught up.

How neat that both the lion and lioness were up on your first safari. Great pictures.

Glad you got to see your tumble monkey. Too funny about what you said!!!

I never noticed the hidden mickey island at the flamingos. Great shot of it! I will have to look the next time.

I can't believe Jeremy and I missed those pretty tress at Camp Mickey.

Too bad about the buffet. I love CS. It is such a pretty resort. Tom thinks it is too big...

Can't wait to see what you finally found for lunch.

I thought about you this morning when I heard about the Ultra Swim that's going on this weekend. Gonna have some Michael Phelps pics? LOL
