Jackie, feel free to park in our personal spot at the Beach Club anytime! Just give them the secret sign at the gate and you will be in!
I'll let Connor be in charge of that secret handshake. LOL!
I'm dying of curiosity now, did Charles purchase a jersey or not?!?
He did decide on two t-shirts the following day. I was relieved because he rarely buys anything for himself on trips.
Chelsea the cradle robber, tell her to leave those pre-teen boys alone!
AND
Connor must come up with a story for that train wreck!
"A gaggle of Italian men"
Love it! Your meal looks so tasty, especially Chelsea's cheesecake! Tutto is actually the 1st restaurant that Blake and I tried on our 1st time on the dining plan, it was so delicious! Love the eyeglass case too, so pretty!
Thanks! We should all be so lucky as to have a "gaggle of Italian men," right? LOL!
Italian waiters serenading you and chocolate mousse sounds like a pretty awesome birthday so far.
I love the pics of Spaceship earth and Chelsea's eyeglass case it really pretty.
Looking forward to more
Chelsea had a great time with her birthday at Disney! I can't seem to resist taking a million pictures of Spaceship Earth when we are at Epcot.
Great update! I was
at the train wreck, the "do I get that?!" and then the mysterious appearance of the birthday button. Very pretty picture of Chelsea with the flowers. If Charles is becoming a Disney lover there may be hope yet for Clay!
Yes, I would say there is hope for Clay!!!
I had to stop reading, stop laughing, take off my glasses to wipe my eyes, several times, and then continue reading.
TOO FUNNY!!!!
The look on her face says soooooo much. Oh Jackie, watch out there will be lots of boys hanging around from now on!
The episode with the birthday button is one of my favorite stories from the trip!
You see in my house,the button would have stayed hidden. In fact, we ate at Coral Reef for my husband's birthday and all they did was bring out the personalized menu, and he saw the diver and he almost totally flipped out and not in a good way. 
Not quite sure what happened there.
Oh, no! I suspect Charles would be much the same way! He is a very shy fellow.
Drink in a full size cup? That's the way to go. I must agree, you cannot risk spillage.
Put that on my list.
The Bellini looks great too!
The Bellini was lovely!!! Very light and refreshing.
If Charles is coming around, maybe, just maybe I can get my DH just not to hate it so much. I really think he needs to go again and since the kids are not liitle anymore, he can really enjoy himself if he would just let himself.
I was surprised at Charles' willingness to embrace Disney on this trip.
Great update!!! I never knew there was a private entrance to Epcot! I might have to try that out on my next trip! My mom tried one of the grand marnier slushies on our last trip! She thought it was delicious! I tried a sip, it was pretty good! I love how Chelsea was like, "Do I get to be serenaded by these gorgeous Italian men??" I would've said the same exact thing! So cute about the little boy who hit on her! And I agree, she's much too mature for an 11 year old
Thanks! Yes, the private entrance is between England and France -- a very quick walk from the Beach Club! Chelsea was in heaven over those waiters. LOL!
Great update! That was funny that Connor was so upset that you didn't tell the whole truth as to why you were at the Beach Club. That stinks it was raining so much when you got to Epcot but at least you were there for dinner so it didn't affect your plans too much.
Connor was very disturbed by that! Luckily the rain was fast, and then, it didn't rain the rest of the trip.
Love how Chelsea quickly moved her birthday buttong and enjoyed her serenade. Her smile in those pictures really showed how much she was enjoying it.
Looking forward to reading more.
The smile really says it all!
Awesome update!
I had to giggle out loud when I read about the birthday button. Hmm, interesting that she made it more visable.
I thought that was very cute.
Chelsea was a hoot over that button!
That drink looked devine! Yum.......
Both of them were quite tasty!
I laughed when I read "drowned rats."
It seems that this happens to me all the time, although I am jealous that my hair doesn't dry as lovely as Chelsea's. She has such beautiful hair.
I hope Connor got over being upset about your parking choice.
Looking forward to reading more.
Thank you! My hair never dries like that, either!
Connor was quickly distracted by the fun of being at Epcot!
Great update! So much to comment on!
It didn't matter the time of day; the "back entrance" was always empty!
It was so nice not to have to wait in lines at the bag check.
I too was curious about the cup your drink came in. (I had a terrible time not trying to spill. I had the Grand Marnier too- couldn't resist the orange!)
I loved it! I will have to get it again!
Connor must be fantastic comic relief ("feel dirty" and "it is time to find your true self!")
(It must also be extremely wonderful now that you have a 13 year old! )
Connor is always making us laugh. He comes up with the funniest things!
My girls would have had the button high and moved it once they knew it would prompt singing! Don't you love those "told you so moments" when you don't even have to say "told you so!"
Chelsea used to be really shy, but as she has gotten older, she enjoys the attention more.
I laughed at the train wreck! Good one!
I just had to take a picture! I think it was the influence of the Grand Marnier! LOL!
Looks like today was a great one, especially for Chelsea. Even the rain was good, because look at those gorgeous curls!
I wish I had curls like that!
Glad she finally listened to mama about the birthday pin.
Me too!
I think all the ADR's are under my first name...
Thanks goodness she wised up!!
Oh well, there's always next year! Hopefully by then i'll be living in my own apartment, let's hope!
