@Rista1313 : you know A, sometimes during the fireworks i cry
A: happy tears or sad tears
R: happy tears
A: that's just called eye sweat. My eyes sweat sometimes too!!

R had done her research and found that the view was better from the odd numbered side of the boat. We had row eleven and she had row twelve, but thankfully the rows were big enough that we could all squeeze in once the fireworks began. We cruised in a big circle around the lake while Patch led everyone in songs and told clever pirate related dad jokes (where does Captain Hook get his hooks?! The second hand store 😂😂) our boat came to a stop with a view of the train station and Cinderella's castle, which was lit up a pretty purple.

While we waited, Patch inadvertently taught A to blow a taunting raspberry

And he went around talking pictures with the kids

And then Happily Ever After began. I, of course, missed half of them because i was busy looking at the wonder and excitement in A's face 😂😂 she told me that every firework has a story about it's life and it's family. The ones that explode together are sisters and brothers and friends that want to stay together forever and love each other. The ones that explode all alone need our friendship. But before you think she's too sweet😂😂 the ones that leave a trail of light as they go up into the sky, those ones are pooping😂😂

On the way back Patch led a round of Disney trivia where only the kids could answer. A knew answer after answer, but he didn't see her little hands shoot up and kept giving prizes away to all the little kids. I finally suggested she sits on the edge near the aisle, where he finally did see her. There were only two kids who needed prizes at this point, but he kept asking questions they didn't know the answers to 😂😂 so finally he asks me "what movie is her favorite and i say i don't know ask her 🤷🤷 her does and she replies ARIEL!!! So i guess she's over the purple bra fridge 😂😂 she answers the trivia and he lets her pick a prize. She picks this duck because,... "I have a duck collection at home!!" 😂😂

When we reached the dock, a special guest was waiting for us!!

I both LOVED and LAUGHED AT this post. Since there is not an option for a dual reaction, I used LIKE. 🤷🏻‍♀️

P.S. It only takes one nasty grape to spoil a package. I’ve had that happen and YUCK.
Shame on Disney for putting out EXPIRED purse grapes!

They called the ten minute warning and said if you need the restroom, user it now. So i ask A, and she says no. We get in line to meet Captain Hook and Smee instead. By the time we get to the front of the line, A is terrified that Captain Hook is going to think she's the real Tinkerbell and then he'll capture her and take her away forever 😂😂 Spoiler alert, he didn't 😂😂 but she was still scared and insisted i stay with her

Then she runs back to our chairs and notices yet another cup of gold coins (how did those get there... 🤷🤷😂😂) And decides that she *needs* to give one to Captain Hook.

He bites it and taps it as if he's trying to figure out if it's real. And she's busy excitedly telling him to eat it because it's chocolate because she's four and doesn't understand actual gold is more desirable 😂😂

Then she wants another picture and it goes a little better but she still won't take her eyes off Hook

As we turn to go back to our seats, A tells him "you know I'm not the real Tinkerbell, right?! I look like her but it's just a costume!! You can't take me away from my mommy!!" 😂😂

Then when we got back to our chairs, the ten minute Grace period already ended, A looks alarmed and says (you guessed it) I NEED TO GO POTTY!! 😒😒😒😒😒

I hurry her to the closest bathroom which felt a mile away and we returned just in time to walk into the room escorting the two Patches. The one driving the Smee boat let A bring his flag in then took it back when he realized we were on the Hook boat 😂😂 And with a short walk down to the dock, we set sail on our journey...

With an over tired, over stimulated, sugared up tiny human, we said our goodbyes to @Rista1313 and her husband and headed for the starting point to grab our stroller. I'm glad we got to meet them, and saying goodbye would been sad but we do get to see them again in a couple days ❤ we got all the way back to where you check in for the pirate cruise the place completely empty. No pirates. No skeletons. No strollers.

We locate a CM a little panicked, and she looks at me like I'm an idiot says "you didn't see them down by Peter Pan?!?" No, no i did not. Peter was a little distracting and it was dark, thank you very much 😒😒 So we went alllllll the way back down and indeed find our stroller. It would be helpful if they had mentioned that as we were leaving the boat 🤷🤷

Of course we *HAD* to get in line for Peter Pan again 😂😂 this time with our wings on...

A: do you remember when you wanted Wendy to fly and you grabbed Tinkerbell and shook her really hard?!
PP: yeah!! Like a salt shaker!!
A: why did you do that?!
PP: well she's covered in so much pixie dust that it comes right off of her when you shake her!!
A: wellllll....... Don't do that to me.... I'm not the real Tinkerbell and i don't want you to shake me!!
PP okay stinkerbell! How about we get a picture!!
A: you know.... The real Tinkerbell doesn't like Wendy!!
PP: yeah, she gets a little jealous someone's!
A: well I'm going to make a mad face because you make the real Tinkerbell mad with Wendy!!

We say our goodbyes again and head back inside and start going up the escalator. We get about halfway up and along comes Peter Pan. He jogs along side us for a few steps and then says "race ya" and runs up the steps. As we get to the top of the escalator he says "i ALWAYS win a race!!" And A replies, yeah?! Well i can jump higher!! And the two of them have a jumping contest. He of course let A win because he can fly 😂😂

When we got to the bag check for the monorail I warned the guard it was basically a bag full of chocolate coins 😂😂 he was still surprised how many we grabbed 😂😂 and he said "well, you guys earned this plunder!!" 😂😂 I wouldn't have taken so many except A kept asking for them, the CM encouraged it, and nobody else was grabbing them!!

We did end up with a lot though 😂😂

It was difficult finding room on monorail to the TTC, but we're made it there and then waited forever for our bus with a bunch of other families and their melting kids. There were two guys sitting on the rail next to us and one of them started talking to me

Guy: so if your husband active duty?
Me: *stinkface* No.
Guy: that's too bad. This SOG head a great price for military people. Have you ever been able to stay here with the military special?
Me: Yes.
Guy: oh!! Was your ex husband active duty?!
Me: *more stinkface* No.
Guy: boyfriend???
Me: No. 😒😒😒😒😒
Guy: well maybe one day you can come here with a veteran... It's really nice!!

We had such a great day and I didn't let my aggravation at this guy ruin that, but please don't ever be that guy. I can't tell you how many times people ask me if I'm driving my husband's car because i have army plates. Thousands of women serve. We earn veteran status on by our little selves 😂😂 /Rant 😂😂

After an uneventful bus ride home, A curled up with her new dog and went right to sleep. I went to sleep shortly after accidentally doing this 😂😂😂

Moldy. Slimy. Gross. And two full weeks past their expiration date. Disgusting.

You can do better than this, Disney.
