Great job getting up and out on time! Wow, that shower is kind of an immersion in the décor, I guess.I wonder when they painted the sign? I think it felt different to me when we were there, but I don't go often enough to know.

I do love the look of the Little Mermaid rooms at AoA. So pretty! I'd probably end up standing in the shower forever just mesmerized by the walls.![]()
Camille, you are a much better woman than me. Trust me, I would NOT have let it go that easy
Ooooh, I don't know about that. I truly did hold it in though, there so many families with their babies (of all ages) around and this is supposed to be a magical place for everyone, I just didn't want to ruin it any further than this guy already was.
(we had a run in on the tram and the lady almost got a punch!).![]()
Now that would have been a sight to see!!I hate how people feel so entitled these days, as if they were the only ones who spent all that money to be there.
I love that Mackie helped you move on and enjoy your magical place and forget about Mr. Grumpy Pants.
That's my sweet, baby girl for ya, she knows how to get her Mama in a good place, she's also a whiz at frustrating the snot out of me too, but that's a story for another time.
Love the pictures in the new FL with Mackie. Isn't it just a beautiful area? They did such a good job there.
Great update!![]()
Give it to the bonehead girl! What a role model for his kids huh?![]()
Oh trust me, I've had my moments in front of my kids before. SadlyI think most of us have had bad days and unleash at the wrong moments. I just wasn't about to at that moment with all the kiddos around. I just hope he wasn't like that all the time.
Mackie was so sweet to get you back on track and help avoid a disaster of a morning.Like you said, you deserved this trip.

Camille, So sorry to hear about that horrible incident with the "Dad of the year."
Thank you, Bob. It almost ruined my morning, but I was quickly swept away in the magic and having a wonderful time before I knew it.
I remember our first year at Disney, my DD at that time was 10, and was run over by a guy pushing a stroller filled with everything but a child. He hit my daughter, knocked her over, and caused her to start crying. Before anyone said a word, he looked at my daughter on the ground, I thought he was going to say, "I'm sorry" or "are you ok?"; but noooooo he said, next time get the ***K out of the way and you won't get hurt. I am a very mild manner person, but when it comes to physically hurting my child I can't ignore that. I had to speak my word minus his temper and profanity. Like you, I moved on and we had a great time.
Oooooh, Bob. I don't know how you kept it together, that would have been a Mama Bear gonna knock someone out moment for me, I don't even know the stroller would have made it out okay!
I just thank God I've never been tested that way, it would NOT. end. pretty.
On a lighter note, I love your pictures on Main Street. I am not ashamed to say this, and I will still retain my "Man Card," but every time I enter Main Street for the first time my eyes leak a little of my manhood. (as on the tv commercial.)![]()
Oh my! You had the perfect parting remark, "have a magical day dude." Wow... not sure why he even cared about his place in line since it would have been a difference of about what, 15 seconds to make it through the entrance.
I actually said it a couple of times, he kept trying to say something and I would just say "Have a Magical day Dude!" louder than he was talking, and after a couple of times he stopped. What a bonehead.
We had a lady yell at my Emmy at Tokyo Dining one time because she was locked out on the patio after she went through a door that locks behind her with her kid for whatever reason. She was banging on the door to be let in and we couldn't tell where the sound was coming from. Apparently she could see in but we couldn't see out through the windows and Em was facing the window. When someone eventually let her back in she looked right at Em and yelled at her, "you saw us out there and you didn't do anything." What?? I was shocked she was attacking my kid and if I had to do it over I would have handled it different because I actually apologized to her and said we didn't know she was out there since we can't see out. I was ready to say more if she kept on but she shut up.
We were done with dinner anyway so we left but Em was so upset. I told her to not let rude people get to her. That lady made a fool out of herself by yelling at a kid. Errrr... (Ok, thanks for letting me relive that glorious moment!!)
Poor Em. It stinks when people are so mad they can't listen to reason. I'm sure that's what was happening with the guy yelling at us, but what I couldn't figure out was what in the world did he have to be so upset about that early in the day?!?
To be honest, I don't have a clue about his life, for all I know his wife was sick, he lost his job...who knows. Still doesn't make it okay for him to treat us badly.
Anyhoo.... Glad that you were able to see the NFL and enjoy the magic of Main Street. I love the last photo of Mackie by the mermaid sign. Lovely!!
How is the visit with your boy going?
Awww thank for asking. Unfortunately I've been in the office the last 2 days so haven't been around for him to drop in and visit. However, we are going to dinner tomorrow night. He just picked up his new car that he ordered so he's a happy soldier.![]()
Camille, you are a much better woman than me. Trust me, I would NOT have let it go that easy (we had a run in on the tram and the lady almost got a punch!). I love that Mackie helped you move on and enjoy your magical place and forget about Mr. Grumpy Pants.

Well what a jerk trying to ruin your first morning!Also, how stupid can you be - you are just going to be milling around in the holding area anyway - so he could pick his spot once he got inside anyway.
I know, what do you do? I really tried not to engage other than to apologize at first, but with Mackie looking at me like she did I knew I had to do something. Like I said, not my finest moment, but at least he got the point to shut up.
I'm glad you chose to put it past you and just enjoy the morning with your girl! Nice pics at NFL! Good decision on the pics.I think I have been taking lots of pics and writing TRs in my head while I travel instead of just "being there." This last time I did the same thing you did - just enjoyed the fam and the little moments - I think it worked out better!
You finally made it in but not without the rude Dude first. I have had my share of crazy people lately too at home and I just want to yell have a magical day so maybe now I will.
You should totally do it!!That or "Have a Super, Sparkly Day! Like they say in that stupid commercial making fun of Disney.
But you have to say it in a super squeaky voice when you do it. Mackie and I do it and crack ourselves up every time.
Looking forward to NFL again, Can't wait for the mine Car coaster to open then the walls will be down and it will be perfect.
