You Seem Taller In Your Trip Reports. A Baby at WDW - *HOLY COW! AN UPDATE!* 4/17 p26

But before the hecticness of the day set in, Evan, Ryder and I did get to sneak down to the Boardwalk Bakery and enjoy a nice breakfast by the water.

Ryder was not impressed. Hey, it still works!

After a 45 minute bus ride stopping at the Swan, Dolphin, Yacht Club, Beach Club and Typhoon Lagoon we finally made it to the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique.

:faint: They couldn't throw in a stop at Universal or Sea World while they were at it?

They work it like a NASCAR pit crew down there - someone working on hair, someone else on nails, someone else on makeup. All that's missing was the smell of high octane racing fuel and the "weeeeeee, weeeeee" of pneumatic air guns changing tires.

Now that would make it more interesting.

What pit crews don't have, however, is Pixie Dust. (I think NASCAR banned that in the '80s)

You sure? How exactly did Jimmie Johnson win 6 titles in a row?:confused3

The plan now called for me to take Evan and Ryder back to the room to start getting Evan ready for his role a ring bearer. Fortunately, the walk to the bus takes us right past the Team Mickey store.

Which is more fun than weddings. Just sayin'.

We made it back to the room to find that the girls, using Bambi's parent's car, had beaten us back to the room. Ugh.

:headache:

Knowing that the room would soon be filling up with an Olympic sized pool of estrogen, Evan and I decided to make like a tree, and get out of there.

Good call. And Back to the Future.:thumbsup2

The big moment finally arrived. And by that, I mean Madison and Evan's parts in the ceremony. After all, I'm writing this, not the bride and groom. If they want their story told, they can write their own Trip Report.

::yes:: Darn right. This is the only part we care about, anyway. :rolleyes1

Now, if you had unsupervised access to one of the most exclusive spots on Disney property (without having to pay for it) what would you do?

Mark my territory.

Yup, take pictures. Nice call.

Oh. Um...yeah, that too.

Pretty classy place, but I was disappointed with the lack of fiberglass cow on the roof. (Yes, the place where Bambi and I had our wedding reception had a fiberglass cow standing on the roof, guarding the entrance to the building. All the nice places in Wisconsin do.)

You didn't have one at home that you could have brought with you?

So instead it was me that got to sit around complaining about being hungry until our food arrived. Madison did share a french fry, which was nice.

Still, it's a standard complaint at weddings, and the kids weren't complaining too. So it's still an improvement.

Anybody else surprised that the Wisconsin kids are hanging around the bar? Yeah, me neither.

:lmao::rotfl2::rotfl:

As Roger Murtaugh would say, "We're getting too old for that shi.....stuff." Too old for that stuff. Yup, that's what he would say.

::yes:: As would you and I.
 
Wedding day rolled around, meaning it was D-Day.

“Blessent mon cœur d'une langeur monotone”


We had a lot to coordinate - Bridesmaids, groomsmen, kids, babies, etc. And yes, I said we

Really? Just doesn’t sound like you…


(well, Bambi).

Oh… that make more sense. :lmao:


After a 45 minute bus ride stopping at the Swan, Dolphin, Yacht Club, Beach Club and Typhoon Lagoon we finally made it to the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique.

That area has just about the worst bus routes down there.
I learned that the hard way myself.

What pit crews don't have, however, is Pixie Dust.

They just wish they did…


The finished product:

Charming as ever.


The plan now called for me to take Evan and Ryder back to the room to start getting Evan ready for his role a ring bearer. Fortunately, the walk to the bus takes us right past the Team Mickey store.

Highlight of the day?
Certainly a good diversion.


Finally, our bus pulled up and piled on. I had a sinking feeling that the Boardwalk would not be the first stop, and sure enough, we drove right past it to drop off at the Swan.

Ouch… :headache:

I told Evan to grab his stuff and get off here.

Good save!

We made it back to the room to find that the girls, using Bambi's parent's car, had beaten us back to the room. Ugh.

Well… good attempted save anyway.
But you did have time to stop for lunch and a new golf hat.


Knowing that the room would soon be filling up with an Olympic sized pool of estrogen, Evan and I decided to make like a tree, and get out of there.

I’d run too.
Just watch out for that manure truck as you make you’re get-a-way.


But we learned our lesson from the bus debacle from that morning - we went to the front of the Boardwalk and hopped in a cab. For $12, we made the trip in about 10 minutes. Win.

He can be taught!


A few minutes later, a DCL bus showed up to whisk us over to the Grand Floridian for pictures.

Cleans up rather well don’t he?


The big moment finally arrived. And by that, I mean Madison and Evan's parts in the ceremony.

Goes without sayin’ :thumbsup2


Now, if you had unsupervised access to one of the most exclusive spots on Disney property (without having to pay for it) what would you do?

Check for a pulse…
And don’t be too quick to walk toward that bright light either.


Yup, take pictures.


Oh… so that can actually happen in this life.
I thought certain you were joshin’ us.




Nice shot. You can see the personalities in the kids shine through all those high falutin’ get ups.
Well, except for Ryder. He’s still holding his opinions close to the vest.


Pretty classy place, but I was disappointed with the lack of fiberglass cow on the roof.

Well, it is Disney and not The Dells…
There’s just some things that even a good Imagineer can’t effectively recreate.


Luckily, Disney knows how to treat their most important guest. No, I'm not talking the couple that just dropped the equivalent of a small island nations GDP on a wedding.

:lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl:


I'm talking about the kids.

They’re no fools.


So instead it was me that got to sit around complaining about being hungry until our food arrived.

As it should be…


Madison did share a french fry, which was nice.

And all was right with the world…


Anybody else surprised that the Wisconsin kids are hanging around the bar? Yeah, me neither.

Stating them off early…
Explains the ease with which they can be convinced to wear a “Cheese Head” in public.


The party doesn't necessarily get out of hand when the Rambo tie comes out, but it's on the right path.

:lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl:

You can put the boy into the monkey suite
But you can’t take the monkey-shines out of the boy. :thumbsup2


The official party wrapped up around midnight. Instead of joining the rest of the group continuing the celebration down at the Boardwalk, Bambi and Ryder and I headed back to the room. As Roger Murtaugh would say, "We're getting too old for that shi.....stuff."

Getting? I’m long past being too old for that “stuff” :faint:
 
Whoever wants to marry me needs to be able to afford a Disney wedding. Luvin the pics. Looks like a fun day:goodvibes
 

Great update, Barry. Your kids clean up good...must get that from their mommy! ;)


Seriously, you all look beautiful, and what a wonderful place to have a wedding.
 
Just got home from a trip with a 3yr old and our own 5 month old! I have to say, the 5 month old was MUCH easier...The 3 yr olds tantrums drove me to :drinking1
