You know what I did when I was 12? I got a job! 1/31 update

[tlenzendorf]

Here is a PP picture of us on the way back into the park Saturday night after our swim break:

 

[tlenzendorf]

Sunday I had down on my itinerary that we were going to let the kids pick where we were going. Instead since we had the late evening the night before, we let them sleep in a bit. Brent and I woke up around 7:00, he went out to take some pics of the animals in the savannah and I went back to sleep til about 8:00.

I went in to get the kids moving and showered. Everybody was slowly getting ready. We had some breakfast(Pop Tarts and cereal bars) and headed out to the bus. A bus came pretty quick and we headed to AK with the thoughts that we weren't going to get much done since it was almost 10:00 already and we wanted a break before MNSSHP that night and we wanted to take it easy for a bit in the afternoon.

We headed in wandered around to see what time the FPs were for EE. It was later than we were planning on being in the park so then we headed over to Camp Minnie Mickey to meet some characters. We got over there and saw that FOTLK was going to start soon so we figured we would head on in to see that.

From there we weren't quite sure what to do so we headed to see how long the line was for the safari. I think it was posted at 20 minutes so we waited, it took maybe around 10-15 minutes.

After that we started getting kinda hungry so we were deciding where to eat. We decided on Pizzafari and headed back over there. I know others don't really like Disney pizza, but we do! I thought I had taken pictures, but I didn't, and I have no receipt so I can't tell you the cost either. I can tell you that Brent and I both had pepperoni pizza, I had salad, we got 2 orders of breadsticks, 3 kids cheese pizzas with sides and 3 kids drinks, Brent got a soda and I got a cup of water. They gave us an extra bottle of water on accident. We went to give it back and they said keep it. After we ate we headed back out to the bus for our swim break/rest. It was maybe about 1:00? Since we had a lot of water in our room I found a mom who was looking frazzled buying water and I handed the one we got from Pizzafari to her.

The bus came fairly quick and we were back at Jambo fairly quick. I did some laundry and got the girls costumes together and then headed down to sit in the hot tub a bit before it was time to go again.

lol at the parking guy trying to get you to drive over the cone. That cracked me up. I really enjoy driving and last time Alan actually wanted to drive some. I think he knows his way around enough too. I am slowly converting him! It's just nice to keep the stroller in there (although we will be outgrowing the stroller for Will in a year or so), and even fill up our mugs on the way out of the hotel, drink them in the car and leave them in there, then refill when we return on the way to the room!

Great pic of the whole family. Your girls are just too cute! Sounds like a great day at AK. I actually like the pizza too. I know most don't, but well my tastes are pretty basic!

Ugh that guy. That was probably one of the worst people we ran into. I don't think I've ever been yelled at by a CM before!

We LOVE driving now! Brent is convinced after this trip, too. That's a great idea about the mugs. We didn't get them this trip since it would be a pain to stash them someplace or haul them around.

Thanks! I don't know what's so horrible about it that people complain? It's crust, sauce, cheese and meat. What else is there to pizza? I could eat pizza every day!

LOVE the pic of you guys from PP. Great pic.

Sadly, you don't have any giraffe butt sniffing pics from your safari. I'm sort of jealous!!

Got my photopass cd today, so i have to get ready to do an update on my TR.

Ha, that was our first safari photos. I'll have to see if I have any awesome photos more like your butt sniffing photos

I read on FB about your photos being missing. Did you find them??

 

[tlenzendorf]

We got back to the park around 4:15 to get dinner before the party started and to get in line for the dwarfs early.

The girls were all punk pirates and Brent and I just wore Halloween shirts. I had this plan that we would all dress up, but then things got outta hand for all the stuff we were buying for this trip.

I have a TON of photos from the party, so this will be a heavy photo update

We went to check in for our 4:20 reservation at The Plaza just a few minutes late. We were seated right away and our waiter came over very quickly. He wasn't a bad waiter per se, but he was definitely the worst that we had the entire trip! He spoke way too fast and was hard to understand and he really didn't listen to what we said we were wanting!

I ordered the club sandwich:

Brent got a Philly Cheesesteak thingy:

Alyssa got grilled cheese(can't find the pic?)

My girls got cheeseburgers:

They also got a choice for a side dish. I think it was soup or salad. Ellie picked the soup and the older girls each got salad. The waiter was way too quick taking our order. I asked for Mariah to get ranch dressing. He then went away before we could ask for Alyssa to get Italian dressing, she doesn't like ranch dressing. I ended up eating her salad.

Then the girls all picked to get an ice cream treat. Other kids were getting different combinations of flavors and sprinkles. Our waiter didn't give them a choice and just brought out plain vanilla The girls weren't too happy since they wanted different kinds.

Sundae:

After dinner was over we headed over to where the meet and greet was for the Dwarves. I think it was around 5:40. When we finally found it Brent took the girls to ride PotC and maybe something else? while I waited in line. We were the third group in line! By the time we were done the line was super LONG! We were out of there by 7:05.

After that we were checking out the map and heading over to ride pirates when we saw a line. I remembered that it must be for Cap'n Jack! Swoon! We got in line and waited. And waited. And waited some more. Where the heck was Jack?? He didn't come out until 7:45ish. The line was pretty long by the time we got done with that, too.

Ellie telling Jack "Look! It's Blackbeard's daughter!" and getting ready to flee...

Of course I had to get in on some of that action. Jack whispered in my ear "I've been waiting all my life to meet you"

 

[tlenzendorf]

From there we headed toward Adventureland to see who was out for characters there. We didn't do too many rides since we had lots of MK time and we really wanted to focus on characters and party stuff. Tarzan, Jane and Terk were out at Adventureland. They were pretty entertaining.

Then we headed in to meet the Fairies. They were a little freaked out at first since the girls were pirates, but they quickly decided they were good pirates

I can't remember exactly what we did after that. We were going to try to head somewhere I can't recall, but we were stuck on the one side of the park because the parade was starting. We decided to see if Tiana and Naveen were out, but they weren't and it was going to be about 15 more minutes, so we decided to move on. We headed over to one of the dance parties. Since the parade was going on it was kinda lame. There wasn't really anyone in there and Horseshoe was watching the parade and totally ignoring the kids! I got a picture of Ellie with Jesse, though.

After that the first parade was over, so we headed over to the front of the castle to get a spot for the Villains stage show. LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this!!!

See the hidden Mickey at the top?

After the stage show the villain meet and greet is kind of chaotic since you don't know which villains will be where unless you read the Disboards ahead of time. I did, but I forgot which one was where, so we just got in a line. This is who we ended up with! One of the ones I really wanted!

From there we headed to the HM for a mandatory Halloween party night ride.

The fat lady was out sitting in the yard. Man I'd love to be a character on a party night! They were all so awesome!

 

[tlenzendorf]

From there it's kind of a blur. I know Brent and Alyssa went there own way for a bit and my girls and me went our way. Eventually we met back up and watched Hallowishes and then settled in for the parade. LOVED both! I think I only videotaped Hallowishes since I can't find any pics. Here are the pics from the Boo to You parade!!

These guys were playing and entertaining.

Now my favorite parts of the parade!!

They scared Ellie and I, we got the shovels right in our face!

 

[tlenzendorf]

After that Brent and Alyssa and the girls and I split up a bit again. Alyssa wanted to go back to the HM to get her picture taken in front of the hearse and my girls wanted to go meet princesses! Here are just a couple photos:

Meeting these 2 I think made Ellie's life so far! Where is the smoulder Flynn??

After that it was 11:40 already!! And we hadn't done any trick or treating! So the girls and I then ran from place to place trick or treating Our last stop was at 12:01 at the Werther's stand for some caramel apple candies, yum!!

From there we headed back to the front of the park to meet back up with Brent and Alyssa and head back to AKV. We were all EXHAUSTED!

Heading out of the park:

CANDY!!

We all took showers and pretty much fell asleep before our heads hit the pillows. We had a big day at Epcot tomorrow doing something VERY fun!

 

[tinkmom2]

I loved the Halloween party too! We missed the 7 Dwarfs though We were stuck inside waiting for the Princesses. I thought the dance party with Jessie and Woody was fun too We had 4 bags of candy. We ended up giving some away on our cruise. We also missed the Villans show. But on the dream they had the Villans Tonight show and we loved that. I think I like the MVMCP better though. There is something about seeing WDW at X MAS.

I really wish that I had budgeted for a second party. I still feel like we missed things. I really would have liked to see the villains show a second time, plus meet some additional characters and have more photo ops. I forgot about Cinderella's carriage.

The Villains tonight show sounds very cool! Doing WDW and MVMCP during Christmas time is very high on my list. I think that will be a shorter trip for us whenever we do go since it will have to be during the 2 week craziness of Christmas and New Years and will mainly be about the decorations.

 

[tlenzendorf]

We slept in after MNSSHP I'm guessing until about 8:00 or so. We got ready and headed off to Epcot for our special thing for today. A DISmeet! We were meeting Laurie(LJD2143), Melissa(msmith1226) and Becky(Rorey). Looking back I think a few people missed our meetup. It's so hard when you get into the park and are doing your own thing to make it someplace.

After reviewing Facebook, I had posted at 9:28am that we were running a bit late and were hoping to make it on time. From there I'm guessing it was 10:15 or so when we got to Norway where we were supposed to wait up. I had ditched Brent and the girls and speedwalked there and they went to get Soarin' fastpasses. I kinda had a hard time finding the viking ship as it's behind a rail in some bushes, but there was Becky and her husband once I finally found it. A few minutes later Laurie and her husband came over. We had a great time meeting!

We chatted maybe for a half hour or an hour? Then Becky and her husband left, but Laurie and family hung around still.

From left to right, Becky, Laurie and me:

We decided to hang out together for awhile since the kids, dads and moms were all getting along so well! The guys went for beers maybe? While Laurie and I went for some pot stickers from one of the F&W food stands.

After that we went for a Peach Snap for the China tea stand. Yumm!!!

From there I remembered that Melissa hadn't shown up, so I think I text her asking if she was still coming since we were still in the general area. She text that she would come! And she did. Loved meeting you!! I wish we could have hung out more! I can't find a picture, but I know we took one. Maybe Laurie has it?

While us girls were talking the guys were drinking some brews and keeping an eye on all 6 kids while they were doing Kimpossible missions. After awhile the whole group was back together and we went to ride Maelstrom. Ellie was scared(as usual), but she always puts on a more brave face when others are around.

After that we went to ride Sum of All Thrills. Ellie chickened out, so I took her to check out something(?), got her a snack of Cheetos and then went back to meet up with everybody else. At that point everybody was getting hungry, so we headed to Sunshine Seasons for some lunch.

Kids Stir Fry Meal with yogurt and Drink
Potato Chips
Soda
2 Sides of Mac and Cheese.... Total $21.78

After lunch we headed our separate ways. I think Laurie et al were headed to use their Soarin' fast passes. I'm not sure exactly what we did? After awhile we headed to the International Gateway.

Stay tuned for where we were headed! And more exciting, WHERE THE TITLE OF THIS TR CAME FROM!!

 

[lovethattink]

I could have sworn I posted and subscribed to your TR, but I guess not. Hope you don't mind that I am coming on board so late.

I had toured AKL during a passholder tour before they first opened, but I do not remember the bathroom tile. The mural in the tile is great! Love you pics from MNSSHP! It's been so many years since we went, maybe 2005? It's nice to see Jane again, haven't seen her since the ending of the Tarzan show at AK.

I had hoped to make the Norway meet, but we didn't make it to the park in time.

I really liked the mural. It gives the bathroom kind of a special tough. I don't remember seeing it in the regular room is 2004 when we stayed there.


I had hoped to make the Norway meet, but we didn't make it to the park in time.

We were still in that same spot like an hour or 2 later You should have stopped by! We hung out with Laurie and family a long time that day.

 

[LJD2143]

We got back to the park around 4:15 to get dinner before the party started and to get in line for the dwarfs early.

Ok so the title of this post started something like "The most fun I've ever had at Disney..." For a minute there I though you were gonna talk about our DISmeet!

We went to check in for our 4:20 reservation at The Plaza just a few minutes late. We were seated right away and our waiter came over very quickly.

We did The Plaza this trip too. Decided we don't need to do it again.....

Of course I had to get in on some of that action. Jack whispered in my ear "I've been waiting all my life to meet you"

How romantic!

Our 2 fams just clicked, didn't they?

I do not even remember what we had at Sunshine Seasons....but I think it was good.

 

[exwdwcm]

Thanks! I don't know what's so horrible about it that people complain? It's crust, sauce, cheese and meat. What else is there to pizza? I could eat pizza every day!

Wow you had a great party night! I can't believe all the characters you saw and the Villains show and parade! AWesome. so jealous. We had the horrible rain the night of our party and were soaked the first few hours. So no characters were out in the normal spots. I would have loved to see Capt Jack- hello hottie! So cool you saw the Dwarves too. WE are just not patient enough to wait in the long lines.

How was the Villains show? We missed it but we LOVED the parade. I definitely want to do October again sometime just to do the party again. It definitely topped the MVMCP for me. WE never saw the lady by HM either- it was too wet for her to sit out there, but I did see her walking around near Liberty Square and she actually talked with me a bit- so funny! We did get the pic by HM at least. But your night sounds complete!!!

The DIS meet sounds fun too- so glad a few of you got to meet up.

 

[tlenzendorf]

Ok so the title of this post started something like "The most fun I've ever had at Disney..." For a minute there I though you were gonna talk about our DISmeet!


I would have to say that was honestly probably my second favorite thing the whole trip!

We did The Plaza this trip too. Decided we don't need to do it again.....


I thought it was pretty good even with the bad server, I'd just ask for a different one next time if we were going to be assigned to him again! It was a good value for not being on the DP.


How romantic!

I seriously about swooned!! Love me some Cap'n Jack!! I couldn't even answer him back I was so surprised what he said. And he whispered it in my ear quiet enough that no one but me heard it. I'm seriously blushing right now just thinking about it!

Ditto - what a great DISmeet! It was so fun to meet Becky and Melissa and who would've thought you and I would become such REAL-LIFE friends?!

I know!!! Our February trip will be SO much fun!

The Potstickers and Peach Snap were amazing! Highly recommend.

Only 46 days til we can get more Peach Snaps

Sorry - no pix from that day

I know someone took one. I wonder if Brent has some on his camera? Hmmmm....

Our 2 fams just clicked, didn't they?

They sure did. It was really awesome. I love how the boys tried to help talk Ellie up about rides. That kid is the biggest chicken when it comes to rides, but she's a little daredevil when it comes to riding her bike/stroller/sled etc.

Do you have the pics of them from Illuminations later in the trip? Mine didn't turn out very well. I have a nice camera and no idea how to use it... I keep meaning to learn...

I do not even remember what we had at Sunshine Seasons....but I think it was good.

I'm not remembering what you had either? lol

So cool you saw the Dwarves too. WE are just not patient enough to wait in the long lines.

The party was awesome, but we only got so much done because I was a pre-planning FOOL, we did no rides except HM and I marched our group thru that park like nobodies business! I think the only way to see the dwarves and make the rest of the party worthwhile is to get in line early. It worked out perfect since I held the line and Brent took the girls to do stuff while I waited.

How was the Villains show? We missed it but we LOVED the parade. I definitely want to do October again sometime just to do the party again. It definitely topped the MVMCP for me.

We did get the pic by HM at least. But your night sounds complete!!!

The Villains show was AWESOME!!! The parade was great, too! Even though we got a lot done, there was still some things I had forgotten even. Oh well, gives a reason to go back

The DIS meet sounds fun too- so glad a few of you got to meet up.

Our DISmeet was really fun, and we made fast friends with Laurie's clan. We are going together in February for a Disney trip even!

 

[tlenzendorf]

So here it comes, the title of this TR. Last we left you(I think), we were on the boat from Ep to HS and running LATE! Crap! We got off the boat right at the time of our ADR and hurried on over to...

50s PT Cafe

That's right, one of the Lenzendorf/Sletten family favorites! Our last trip in 2009 with the kids I had gotten in some t-r-o-u-b-l-e there, which cemented it in as one of the girls all time faves. I had to stand in the corner even!

Lucky for us they would still take us even though we were 20 minutes late. I think we had about half an hour wait? as they were behind. We got taken to a table in the far back left corner of the restaurant, right around the corner I think from the kitchen and the bathrooms.

I really wish I remembered our servers name. He was absolutely wonderful! He went over the menu options. He told Ellie about her choices on the kids meal. And he said, "See how the fruit is down there by the desserts? Fruit is not a dessert. Fruit is an appetizer. So if you want, you can have fruit for an appetizer instead of" well, instead of whatever the appetizer options were. Alyssa was going to help her, but he stepped in with a minding your own business comment. He then asked about drinks and showed Brent the adult beverage menue and said "You may need one of these drinks with all these girls." He was very quick with comments and seriously the best waiter we had. He took our orders. I think the girls all got chicken nuggets and fries, Brent and I shared Mama's Sampler Platter with an extra side of corn. After we were done ordering he took all the menus and stayed to chat an extra minute asking the Alyssa and Ellie their ages. He had funny comments when they responded, which I wish I could remember.

But the funniest thing that happened all trip. The highlight we quoted the ENTIRE rest of the trip. The thing that almost made me pee my pants. What you've been waiting for!!


All right, all right, I'm getting on with it!!

He then he asked Mariah's age. She said she was 12. He then said "Sweetie? Do you know what I did when I was 12?" She shook her head no. He said "When I was 12, I got a job." She looked at him really funny. He said "Here, take these menus to the front and give them back to your cousin". He handed her the menus and walked away while the rest of us just lost it laughing!!!

It was the perfect dinner. The food was fabulous, our waiter was awesome and we were stuffed!

Ellie's appetizer/dessert of fruit and her punch with the Tinkerbelle glow thingy

Kids nuggets and fries

Sampler Platter with an extra side of corn

He then brought our check over and said "Here dad, I'm sure this is for you". From here we were talking about what to do after dinner. The waiter came by again while we were discussing. Our plan had been to go to F! right after dinner which is why I had picked a 5:20 dinner ADR. But it was 7:10 and I think F! was at 7:30 and the park closed at 8:00. Our waiter suggested we skip it and hit up some rides since they would be dead since we had another night to be able to see F!

So that's just what we did! We headed over to TSM and the wait I believe said 40 minutes? We got in line and walked all the way into where the Potato Head is! We were in, rode and off in less than 10 minutes! Alyssa and Brent headed to the bathroom, the girls and I rode again. We walked right in and all the way up to the car! and it was only 7:47, we figured we'd have time to ride a 3rd time in less than 30 minutes before the park closed at 8:00! Alas, just as I thought that the ride broke down. Darn it! It was only down a couple minutes, but it was down just long enough that as we were coming out of the exit again they were shutting the doors. Drat!

Hey, look who is still out!

Then we noticed that they were still letting people in to meet and greet with Buzz and Woody, so we hopped in that line. It was a little long. I don't think we were out of there for a good 20 minutes?

Waiting...

Buzz and Woody!

It was now about 8:30 and the park closed at 8:00 so we headed back to the front of the park. I bet you think we were going to head back to the resort now, don't you???

Well, I did say it was a 3 park day and we'd only hit 2 so far! Stay tuned for where we went, how we got there, who we hung out with and what we did!

Well, I did say it was a 3 park day and we'd only hit 2 so far! Stay tuned for where we went, how we got there, who we hung out with and what we did!

50's is so fun! Your server sounds just like the one we had a couple years ago. I can just picture Mariah's face when he told her to get to work!

OK - so what day is this now? I am so lost!..............
The girls clothes are so familar.....oh that's right, this was the same day as the DISmeet....

So I don't have any pix of our 2 gangs from this day, but I'll just throw in a few miscellaneous pix from our first few days up to this point:
