For those wondering about the price of the carriage stroller, it's $300 for the day.

https://www.princesscarriagerentals.com/

I think they're cute but I cannot imagine getting that thing through a crowd without chewing up other people's ankles. And I'd be worried someone would steal it from the stroller parking and I'd have to pay for the whole thing.

And for $300 I'd want a footman to be included to push my little snowflake princess around all day so I wouldn't have to.

The size limit is 5' and 200 pounds. :cry: I wanted to be a princess for a day, but I'm too tall... :(

"If the carriage cannot be recovered, the customer will be responsible for the retail value of the carriage, regardless of whether or not a damage waiver was purchased."

"The renter is fully responsible for the loss, theft or destruction of the equipment independent of cause, and agrees to pay Princess Carriage Rentals, LLC the replacement value of the equipment in such an event."


I was curious so I looked it up and I was right, you'd have to pay for the full price of the stroller if someone else grabbed it and walked out. I would be a big ball of anxiety all day long.

Wow! You are the useful relatisve now aren't you? So what ever happened to your Aunts Grandkids she cared for?

Curious to see how this vacation goes for your family. Your brother is so use to you creating the Disney 'magic' with you. Your folks have been accustomed to you chaperoning your brother so they have their own time. This has to be very different for them this go around.

Yeah, I am the useful relative now. Other than the girls' father, who my grandmother wants nothing to do with (and for good reason) I'm her only adult grandchild living up here. My cousins all live in SC. And other than my parents, she really has no children up here either. My aunt is in SC, my other aunt, who I've never even met and has been estranged for a while, lives in West Virginia, and my uncle went off the rails about a year ago and no one has spoken to him since. Not much you can do when someone doesn't answer your phone calls.

My aunt still has custody for now. The agreement expires, so she'll have to get a new one, but it seems unlikely their mother will be able to get custody back at this point. She's got so many charges pending against her, and we don't think she'll be able to afford a lawyer. The girls do have to come up for summer visitation, so they'll fly up with my grandmother. The good thing is that my aunt can get a gate pass to escort all of them to the gate, and then I can get a gate pass to get them off of the plane. I get them one day and my parents the next. I'll be spending a lot of time at the airport, and barely going anywhere.

My mom called me on Friday after they got there. They went to get the DAS for my brother and sent my dad on a FP run at the same time. The thing is, you need the passes to get the DAS, and my dad had them for getting FPs. Which they did not think about. Before she could even finish telling me, I said, "Yeah, that wasn't going to work!" She told me they needed me there keeping them straight.:hilarious: And then of course, with my dad and his stance on cell phones, he forgot his in the room and they lost each other for a while. Which, if I had been there, I would have stayed with my dad so that one of us had a phone. Oh, good times.

A Crazy-good (and a bit o' crazy start to) Father's Day today. The fam took me out to brunch at Kerby Lane Cafe! :)

My jalapeño bleu cheese burger...it was awesome...!!! :hungry:

View attachment 210987

Sorry, no other food pics from Kerby Lane... :oops:

The girls had made a ressie, but, when we got to Kerby Lane, things were still running about 20 mins. behind what we expected. Oldest DD said they had made other ressies for something else a good ways away for me later that was gonna' be cutting it close, so we got menus and we're ready to order as soon as we were seated. While we were still waiting, oldest DD said (I wasn't prying about the surprise, either) that the ressie was for this cool new go-kart track that just opened in DWifeys mothers hometown. OK, that area has been growing like crazy, too.
So, right when our server showed up, we ordered drinks (mimosas) and our dishes right away. Our server said it would still be about 20 mins., as the kitchen was a bit backed up, but, the girls said it was no problem 'cause we still would have just enough time to make the go-kart ressie.
Now, the bit o' crazy...
Our server showed up with the waters and mimosas, and just as she was passing the last water, her arm bumped the last mimosa on the tray straight onto DWifeys top... :eek: :cyclops: She was drenched...gasps were heard from all around us...:jawdrop: :rolleyes:
The server immediately left and came back with a towel and tears in her eyes. DWifey, and all of us, assured her that it was OK...stuff happens. She, of course, apologized profusely, and said that the last time that happened was 2 years ago. Again, DWifey said it was OK and gave her a neck hug (DWifey was pretty soaked) the young lady was so appreciative of our understanding (other people would lose their minds over something like that...we're not those people :happy:). Youngest DD headed for home to get DWifey a change of cloths, and got back (we only live about 4 minutes away) just as the food was being served. DWifey and we joked that the outfit youngest DD came back with was cuter, so "The Great Kerby Lane Father's Day Mimosa Shower of '17" was fate...!!!!! :hilarious:
We again reassured our server when we left that all was OK, and had a good chuckle with her. She apologized again and thanked us for being so sweet and understanding.
And, we left her a much larger tip than we normally would have...! ;) :happy:

Sounds like a day you'll remember. We went to a Japanese Hibachi grill when we were in the US for dad's funeral and I was just in the totally wrong spot. First the guy was trying to flip something...I think onion? And it skidded across the grill and knocked my hot and sour soup into my lap. Ow. Then he was trying to do something with eggs and he missed and the egg splattered all over the table and my plate and everything..so he tried again, and the egg landed in my rootbeer. Fortunately he did that right as a server was there with a rag to clean up the soup, so she saw it and went and got me a new rootbeer immediately. Then he was trying to shoot zucchini into people's mouths and he hit me right between the eyes. I don't know if he was just new or if he was drinking the saki, or if that's normal for a hibachi grill...I don't have any plans to go back to a hibachi grill any time soon. I'd rather eat my food than wear it or be beaned with it. He's lucky it was ME and not my brother...I'm the patient and easy going one. My brother would have been yelling after the first egg. As it was, he thought it was hilarious.

He claims to not like mojitos because of the lime, but a couple weeks ago a friend recommended a drink to him that hubs just had to have. It was soda water, white rum and lime. And hubs liked it, i pointed out the similarities and he said that he still doesn't like those. Just like he claims to. It like guacamole but will he avacado mash, or claims not to like mayonnaise but if it is called aioli he will smother his food with it. My hubs is so strange.

I used to say it was all semantics for DD when she was little. For instance, if I took cheese, and put it between 2 slices of bread and called it a cheese sandwich...Yuk. Same thing, but called it bread and cheese...Yum.:banghead:

This is obviously meant for the money is no object crowd. And I could see how some would love the idea of a morning being transformed into Cinderella, arriving in style, and then pictures in the "coach" in front of the castle.
