Yeah, what kind of example are you being for your kids, Jackie?
I know -- I should be so ashamed of myself, but the ease of doing it outweighed my conscience. LOL!
How did you like it? I've never tried one, because I'm not a huge fan of Grand Marnier.
Oh, I loved it, but I like anything orange-flavored.
Oh my goodness, you weren't kidding about getting soaked!
It was POURING, and all I could think was, "This is not how I wanted the trip to start." Luckily, everyone just took it in stride, and once I had a drink, it was all good!
Did Connor come up with a backstory for this?
He was so upset by it, his creativity dried right up. He wanted to jump the fence and fix it!
Yeah, Charles, come on out! It's more fun out here!
Just you wait!
I can picture myself walking right into this private entrance right now. Thank you for taking me to Epcot this morning.
I wish I was there right now! It would be so much more fun than staring at my floors thinking I should probably pull the vacuum out.
MeMom said:
Very cute, and a great souvenir!
Chelsea was very pleased with it.
Great update! Got to love those Florida rain showers!
Luckily, it was the only one we encountered the entire week!
Mmmmm...Tutto sounds soooo good.
Ha(!) to Chelsea moving her Birthday button. Silly girl, not listening to her Mama.
You would think she would learn that I know what I am talking about!
How was the cheesecake she ordered?
Neither Chelsea nor I loved it. It was a little on the dry side. The gelato was much better.
Chelsea is much too mature for a boy of 11. Pffft.
Mmmhmmm, she was flattered at first, but quickly became annoyed with him.
Um, yeah....
THAT was some serious "pouring" from the Grand Marnier Slushie machine!!!!
NO wonder you said that worked out well!!! I am a firm believer...
And what a great way to warm up to the rain!!!!
Regular glasses from here on out is our motto! Charles was very impressed with that little tidbit!
And I am with C -- Charles sure seems to have enjoyed this trip thus far!!! Soccer shirts, drinks, all the above! THAT is what it is supposed to be, hands down!!!!
Just wait -- as the trip went on, it got better and better.
Okay, now, to that POST of yours....
First, poor Connor feeling bad about the parking at Beach Club. We do it a lot, I have to confess, mostly I do make ADRs at resorts so I can travel from parks there and back -- that helps with the guilt!
Poor Connor, but is it a sign of my moral turpitude that I didn't have one twinge of guilt about parking at the Beach Club?
Especially considering that I did it more than once?
Okay, then this Birthday button... TOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny that story, She is SO a girl! That cracked me up!! They do sing well!
Nolyn recognized the song from his school, he was singing it too....
Diner and dessert sound wonderful, and that bellini!!! YUMMO!
I really wish I could convey her reaction with words, and then, how quickly that button was moved. It had me rolling!!!
Crazy what happened with the train in Germany! That had to have a story!
That poor train!
Looking forward to your end of the day pool shots. That really made for a great evening your first night there, I am sure!
It did -- it was just lovely to lay there on a lounge chair and let the kids do their thing!
Great update; love the pics of the birthday girl...she looks like she had a really good time.
She was having a blast!
Clearly he didn't buy anything that day, was there much to pick from? Jeff would love to know.
There are several soccer jersey type shirts in all the different countries -- they are there year-round. The next day, the shops were already clearing out most of the World Cup shirts -- we were able to snag the ones Charles and his BIL wanted, but they were disappearing fast.
I am going to remember that strategy.
How much did it rain? I wasn't planning on packing umbrellas and the like in park bags. We will have poncho's and a hairbrush, will that be enough? I've never gone in the summer.
I think those quick rainstorms are pretty common, but we were lucky. That was the only time it rained the whole trip.
Do I get that? My first name called in a lovely Italian accent?
If the reservation is in your name.
Can I just tell you that I am so glad I made it in my full name, and not just Jackie? Hearing "Jacqueline" called out by an Italian was quite, quite nice.
I think it would be Kendall's too! I'm so excited about this, we have a ressie there for our first night after Paul and Sandie arrive and we have 3 birthdays in the bunch that we are celebrating so they better wear their buttons!
Yes, make sure birthday buttons are in full view and remind them at the podium when you check in that you are celebrating birthdays.
Does it get any better than that???So glad you enjoyed the private entrance. Not a soul in your picture... can't beat that. But ssshhhh.... we don't want too many people to know about it.
