Message: <blockquote data-quote="gobstoper27" data-source="post: 9715620" data-attributes="member: 104217">Day 1 Cont...After all the dramatics about getting pool time, I opted not to go swimming<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hilarious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hilarious:" title="Hilarious    :hilarious:" data-shortname=":hilarious:" />It wasn't warm enough for me that day so the boys suited up, headed down, and I eventually met them down there.I walked over to the bigger pool and kiddie splash area and couldn't find them at all. I ended up finding them at the relaxing/quiet pool. I asked why they were over there and DH said " I just picked the first pool I saw"..I'm not sure if there is pool etiquette, but I suggested that they should probably go to the other pool.The other pool guests were quietly relaxing; and even though I wasn't swimming, I felt awkward with the "noise" that my son was making. He wasn't really loud, he's just a bit of a chatter box. After the little guy took one more crab walk around side of the pool, they finally got out.[ATTACH=full]541376[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]541377[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]541378[/ATTACH]The sky was absolutely beautiful this day<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😍" title="Smiling face with heart-eyes    :heart_eyes:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/7.0/png/unicode/64/1f60d.png" data-shortname=":heart_eyes:" />[ATTACH=full]541381[/ATTACH]So this elephant at S'il vous plait, the children's swim area cracked me up every time I saw it. It looks like it's doing a massive twerk!!Party at Club S'il vous plait if you please, lol[ATTACH=full]541380[/ATTACH]So the boys swam while the hubby "supervised", lol. I was so surprised when he expressed that it was freezing!  This is coming from the guy who goes outside with shorts on in sub freezing weather. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face    :thinking:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/7.0/png/unicode/64/1f914.png" data-shortname=":thinking:" /> But, I love him for taking one for the team.I was so proud of my little guy. Prior to this, he hadn't been swimming since July 2020 and even with his floaties, he was such a daddy clinger. He had taken swimming lessons since he was a baby but when Covid hit classes stopped. Even when they opened back up last summer I wasn't comfortable with him going because the younger kids are in really close contact with the teachers.As a result, he regressed a lot so I was so happy and surprised to see him in the water, swimming by himself without clinging to his dads neck.[ATTACH=full]541384[/ATTACH]So I'm not sure if you guys agree but I find the pool games that the life guards play really entertaining. Maybe because it was a bit boring sitting in a beach chair, not swimming but I enjoyed it. She basically called out a letter and we had to name a Disney character who's name began with said letter. I'm sure they probably play this all the time.Midway through the next game which was a lot harder, we decided that the boys had 5 more minutes and then we'd head back up to the room to get ready for dinner.There was a little boy playing next to my gang when suddenly he belched really loud. All of sudden the lifeguard who was seated in front of my chair blew her whistle and screamed "I'm sorry everyone but please exit the pool for an unscheduled cleaning". HE BLEW CHUNKS ALL OVER <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤢" title="Nauseated face    :nauseated_face:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/7.0/png/unicode/64/1f922.png" data-shortname=":nauseated_face:" /> Poor guy!! My husband said he watched it happen in slow motion, lol.I'm not sure what made me laugh more ; watching everyone scramble to get out or listening to the 4 lifeguards discuss how to go about skimming it out.We made our way up stairs to get ready for dinner at Disney Springs. We had 7:15 reservations at Splitsville; so I wanted to head out around 6 or so to check out a couple of stores before dinner. I asked little guy what he most excited to do and he says, "I can't wait to sit in the room and watch T.V!!!!" Ummm boy bye, <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hilarious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hilarious:" title="Hilarious    :hilarious:" data-shortname=":hilarious:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hilarious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":hilarious:" title="Hilarious    :hilarious:" data-shortname=":hilarious:" /> When he starts school, his teacher is going to be in for it!!P.S- have any of you ever watched Bluey on Disney Jr.? This little gremlin took over the T.V and we literally woke up and went to bed to Bluey..it's a really cute and funny show though.[ATTACH=full]541390[/ATTACH]Once we got into Disney Springs we parked, and remembered to take a picture of the parking spot.Kind of Quick funny story..The rest of my family didn't think it was funny though..During our last family trip in Nov 2019 with both sets of parents and the 2 boys..We had reservations at DS to watch the infamous Browns vs Steelers game..the one where Myles Garrett took of his helmet and hit the opposing quarterback..yikes..Prior to that debacle, is when everything quickly went left. I remember power walking from Futureworld to the parking lot.  I severely underestimated how much time it would take to ride Nemo and Soarin and walk to the car from the park..whoops.[ATTACH=full]541402[/ATTACH]This picture cracks me up!! I can't remember the exact scene but we were riding The Seas with Nemo and Friends before dinner.It also represents bit of foreshadowing of the horror yet to come, LOL.ANYWHO...I called the restaurant to them know that we'd be late. We booked it to DS and parked in the orange garage, nobody thought to pay attention to where we parked though.We ended up being about 10 minutes late and the restaurant was dead..so it wasn't really a big dealAfter dinner and a particularly strong drink for me we made our way to the garage but we couldn't find either car. (None of the 6 adults paid attention to what level we parked on..)Both my husband and my mom were pressing the panic buttons for both cars but so were several other people at the same time. The beeps were coming from above and below the level we were on. I remember cracking up so much looking for these cars, I also had the biggest buzz which made it all the more hilarious. We looked like absolute fools trying to find these cars.We ended up separating and told my in-laws to stay by the elevator; my dear sweet mother in law had left her phone in the room so with no phones, they needed to stay put.**Prior to this trip she had recently gotten a cell, so she often forgot to carry it.Hubby took the little guy, my parents went one way and  I was left to laugh my way through the garage  while posting about our adventure in my Instagram story. My friends were so invested in this disaster lol.Apparently my husband found the car, but his phone had died so he couldn't call any of us. I can't make this stuff up<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/banghead.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":banghead:" title="Bang Head    :banghead:" data-shortname=":banghead:" />I have no idea how but I ended up finding him and little man was a hot mess.They had been standing by both cars for 10 minutes so the constant blaring from my parents car and the other cars had freaked him out.#CLUSTERI called my folks let them know where we were and my husband went to the elevator to get his parents. All is well, time to GO!!Just kidding it was NOTMy husband ran back up to the car to let me know that his parents were not where we left them!! He was besides himself. His parents are in their early 70s with no phone so he was a bit concerned plus he wanted to get back to the room and finish the game. It's not often that the Browns have a lead against the Steelers <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />I started to get a little annoyed...I mean I was still laughing but I was ready to go.After another 20 minutes which included Easton crying because he thought his grandparents were lost forever (true story, his words), they finally found them wandering around!!!Turns out that they went off to find security to ask for help finding the car but the guard really couldn't help them. They're the sweetest  people ever but are so hard-headed.After about 30 minutes, we finally made our way back to the hotel and the car ride back was pretty funny.Moral of the story, take a picture of where you park..Back to the current trip!![ATTACH=full]541396[/ATTACH]DS friendly mask reminder # 2The first being the vending machine full of masks..lol</blockquote>
