Trip Report I'm Tagging Along ~ LIVE! *COMPLETED*

Almost everybody has one ~ a friend or relative who doesn't think twice about inviting his/her self along with whatever you have planned.

I never thought I'd be that person.

Fortunately, I have a very understanding family who is actually excited about my joining them at WDW. < Phew! >

It's been a year since my last live trip report, so I hope I can do @JenniferS and her fans proud!

The Who's ~
Me, @Tuvalu

My parents

My youngest brother T and his wife E

And then something my trip reports have been missing....

Adorable children!

A is 5

M is 4

and L is almost 2

Come along for tag-a-long fun!!

So I (we) got to watch Wishes from a brand new spot. In front of the restrooms by Pinocchio's.

Why is this photo so bright?

Cause this was happening behind us.

360 degree fireworks!

It pays to know the choreography of Wishes. I could tell my folks which direction to look.

Look at the lady in the lower left, like she's watching asteroids hit the Earth LOL.

I'm back in my room. When the parade got delayed, my mom wanted to move closer to Main Street in case MSEP was cancelled. Then we would be closer to the exit. She wanted to browse in the Emporium and that's where we were when I heard the familiar opening of Baroque Hoedown. I grabbed mom's arm and yelled, "Let's go" and she and dad quickly followed me. By now the viewing areas were 3-4 people deep, but we made do.

(Really needed you Em to take quality pictures of this final MSEP for us!)

A good thing about staying at a value resort is that those big bendy buses are used at the end of the night. We had only a short wait for a bus and got seats too.

TEAML was supposed to join us at MK tonight. However, they could see the storm coming from their 11th floor room and didn't want to go through the effort of schlepping three kids to the park in the rain.

Mom was able to ride Frozen Ever After with them this afternoon. Did she use a legitimate FP? I'm not saying. This picture may be even funnier than the one of Em and I in July.

I am surprised no one has commented about my mom's gray and white striped shirt. Obviously she did not get the memo that yesterday was gray and white striped shirt day.

Good night everyone!

I did notice Mom's shirt from a previous photo. Interesting that you ladies seperately all seem to gravitate to the same type of shirts.

So what is up with Daddy and his DD? Shielding her from the drop? Baby seems to have done just fine and Middle Child seems to have known exactly where the camera was and cooperatively posed. Grandma is just a perfect addition to the family experience.

. Especially ice cream. Reminds me of what @Longers must have been like as a child! )

Nothing's changed - I am Still like it now! I had ice cream for breakfast last year in Disney!

We interrupt this TR for an important news bulletin:

The @Tuvalu Superfans are following along!

"You mean she went BACK to that place AGAIN?"

" @Tuvalu ??? She's my FAVORITE!"

T&E's parenting style tends to be sweetly overprotective in an attempt to shield their kids from anything that might be scary to them. In some cases this has an opposite effect and instills fear. Mom said the baby sat in wide-eyed wonder during the entire ride.

Awww, I miss the dueling duo!

 

[Longers]

You're up early - where are you off to today?
I hope there is ice cream!

There's no time for sleeping in the world!
First destination is AK. I'm sure there is ice cream potential.

I totally agree you can sleep when you get home! Although how often you go there probably isn't much time between trips!
Have fun today - and now I will continue working dreaming of the ice cream truck before expedition Everest and wishing I was eating one .

@Tuvalu -- I like your mom; she looks like a fun companion. I'd hang out with her in the parks, too! (P.S.: Your dad is also cool. )

 

[Tuvalu]

I will not let this

spoil my morning.

I will have my cake and eat it too!

 

[Tony the Tigger]

I hope you get a good weather day before you go!

 

[LadyBelle]

Tell that to my niece.....
