Mickey,Minnie,Margaritas and Mayhem....(my first trip report)

Hi everyone i'm mamamouse,you may have seen me post on other trip reports ,but this is my first time writing one,I had been planning this trip for what seemed like FOREVER!!! and I'm very excited because I was meeting my "online" friends for the first time.I wanna start off by saying I am not a photographer or an english teacher,so my pics may not be up to some of your standards but,they're my memories and for that I cherish them as is,and I am a typo queen n known for lack of punctuation.Travelling with me are ,my hubby n 2 daughters,mom,stepdad,sister 3 nephews 1 niece n my partner in crime,her hubby n 2 kids.let's see ......ah yes the airport n the only time I ever smile at 5 am is when on my way HOME <3

that's me with my nephew "L"

what it comes down to is Chefs de France was the worst meal I've ever had not only in WDW but anywhere,the only thing worth eating there is this.....

and although we weren't visited by Remy we did have 2 other visitors,who made the girls smile Grandma

and big cousin "j"

when we left the restaurant I had to stop to organoise some things in the bag from the earlier"morocco mess" that was my back pack and here's where my roo sat,I love catching them in pics that aren't posed

and this pic I love

then I took some pics of our surrounding area

and for anyone interested in getting a better view of the dresses Grandma made

and

LOVE the dresses. So super cute!! That's one talented woman making those!!

We're trying Les Chefs next month. I'd rather do Via Napoli but my sister want to do France. She wants to see Remy and even though I told her there is NO guarantee, she still wants to chance it. We'll see I guess! Hopefully our food is better than what you guys had... ICK!!

Can't wait to read more!!

wow I didn't realise how blurry those pics were until I saw them up close oopsy,anyways we couldn't forget to get some Duffy shots....

and we saw people wearing these shirts"11 countries 11 drinks" pretty much everywhere we went that day

and by this point the world Showcase was packed,and just like in November the most populated areas by drunk people were between the Uk and Canada,its funny cause I was telling Beth the first night about how bad it was in November when we went and the night her n i were there we didn't see anything like that,but tonight was a night That I didn't want my kids in this park any longer.I understand its food n wine fest and some people need to drink as much as they can,but if you can't control yourself in a place for families then don't drink so much.Sorry but I have no use for people who act like idiots and use bade language when they clearly see a little kid walking by them,one guy was telling a story to his friend and as my youngest passed by him he was looking her right in the face n swearing out loud n spitting as he talked.GRRRRRR anyways here are some shots on our way out

on our way out of the park we were hoping to go ride Figment but it was closed so instead we introduced roo n bigdaddy to soarin,and they both liked it but not as much as boo n I do.WE headed out of the park after that and went to wait for the bus,this was the longest wait ever we saw 4 all star busses n 3 pop busses go by and I was starting to worry that something might have happened with our bus,I never heard anything since but I hope if there was some sort of accident that it wasn't too serious.WE finally hopped on the bus and decided we'd go for a swim when we got back to CBR.

Yes I hope your experience is better than ours too,if all else fails get the creme brulee for dessert LOL:wave:

I did take pics of our swimming adventures that night but they didn't turn out at all.We went to bed knowing that me n one of the girls had an early adr the next morning originally i had it booked for the 4 of us but then i was told 2 of us wanted to sleep in so I called n modified it,so now we are onto DAY4..... and one of my fave places to get breakfast

and here is the little princess who would be joining me for breakfast

she was so excited because that morning when we got on the bus the bus driver played this recording that said"ladies and gentlemen this is a reminder to be on your best royal behaviour,we're travelling with a real disney princess today" and she was the only princess on the bus. I thought that was cute n it made her feel extra special.

Oh I almost forgot we had another guest join us too

and then shortly after the characters started coming around

just then our server came around and he had a special surprise in store too,he had minnie get close as he lit this candle n everyone sand happy b day to my roo,minnie was so cute swaying side to side with the cupcake in hand

and up next was Roo's fave pal

after breakfast we decided to check out the shop there I was in search of a few gifts for my friends back home.

 

[mamamouse]

here are a few pics of the shop window displays

and

then we wandered outside to get some pics of my beloved beach Club,someday I will stay here *sigh* someday

then we headed towards the lighthouse to catch the boat n I snapped away

and then you'll never guess what we saw next,fractal are you paying attention........MICHAEL BOLTON!!!!!!!!!!

haha I couldn't resist,I think i even giggled to myself when I saw it pull up lol

 

[mamamouse]

anyways heres my roo onboard the MICHAEL BOLTON!!!

we like to sit at the back when we can its easier for taking pics and it makes me remember all the times I went boating with my dad when I was younger

and then we were here

but before we could go in we had to go pick up daddy n lil sis n I had some laundry to do,but we saw these guys n couldn't resist.... my names mater like to mater but without the ta

and ka chigga ka chigga

lol I'm a geek I know lol

 

[mamamouse]

now throughout the trip we saw alot of sky writings and although I'm not religious it was interesting to see the letters form so i took a pic

then we went to our room n i gathered up our laundry while daddy snoozed n the girls coloured,in between I filled up our resort mugs and spoke to a woman who was from australia,she was a sweetheart I love meeting people while travelling it's so neat,we talked about the halloween party ( as I was washing our costumes too) and compared the differences in how we celebrate halloween back home,then soon enough it was time to get ready to go to DHS and get daddy to the ESPN club he had a football date with Grandpa today to see The chargers game.
Duffy led the way for us

 

[WDW_Princess24]

Yay!! So glad to jump on board! The girls are so cute in their Ariel dresses, I wish adults could dress up in the parks all the time LOL! I agree about those Margarita’s, they can really pack a punch, especially in the heat! I LOVE the pic after the girls were at the Pirate League, their dresses match so well with the whole pirate theme!

yay you're here that's awesome,yeah my mom didn't really want to make the girls dresses with skulls but i pushed lol I love all things piratey and when we found the material i thought it was too cute to pass up,I think the fact it had little hearts helped my cause with momma bear LOL,hope you had an awesome trip too,and i'll be watching for your report

MICHAEL BOLTON!

You're crackin' me up!

That captain is definitely not our Codie. Maybe next time.

I'm enjoying the pictures with Duffy and Goofy! Your girls are adorable - how neat of that bus driver.

 

[93boomer]

Oh goodness! Michael Bolton! Never ever paid attention to that before. We have stayed at BC twice so you have got to save and stay there sometime. It is very, very nice! The girls would love the big pool too!
Sorry you had a less than perfect meal at France. We've eaten there too. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not. Never consistent. Maybe they change chefs a lot! We always eat counter service since it is just the two of us. That way we can share some things, but actually get some good food for the price. We did eat at Le Cellier in Canada one year, and it was really good!

 

[mamamouse]

So we were waiting for the bus and all of a sudden I felt this nudging in my side,and someone whispered "momma Duffy is firsty" well we couldn't have that now could we so.....

and then Duffy was wanting a pic with big sis

she wasn't satisfied with her earlier ponytail and had told me that before we went back to DHS she needed real rapunzel hair just incase(which is funny because as it's if she knew something awesome would be coming up soon)
here's my attempt at real rapunzel hair lol

we got to DHS and I directed hubby towards the MICHAEL BOLTON dock( if you don't know what i'm talkin bout check out fractal's trip report,it's packed full of cool stuff,besides without his help my report wouldn't have come to be)
Anyways we went into the park n started walking around looking for starring rolls LOL I walked right past it hahaha i was so excited because I had my first COH sighting

it was just outside of this place

and then TADAAAAAAAA I was all hyped up to finally find out what Miller poppins food was all about

omg I swear i walked in and it was like i was in another world surrounded by pure happiness sugar sugar everywhere

mmm

and then one more glance n i could hear "AHHHHHH "in the most beautiful voice ever thats right baybee I caught my first glimpse of that red velvet cheesecake cupcake I was dying to get my hands on for so many months

omg Le Cellier thats a must,anmd I'm Canadian so you know I'm tellin the truth on that one lol,whats the best counter service meal you've had,mine is hands down Flame tree barbeque

oh I know it wasn't the right captain cause he was named sumthin else but everytime i see those boats now thats all I can think of LOL,so I couldn't help myself lol

 

[93boomer]

Probably the mexican food cause it's not taco bell. We like the cuteness of the little place! Morroco is a close second for the hummus and falafels!

 

[mamamouse]

here's what we ended up with can ya guess who got the cupcake tee hee

next we went to get a spot for the parade(which I personally don't care for I much prefered the disney stars in motor cars,but the girls wanted to see it ,and afterall it's more about them than me so on we went)

and then the coolest thing ever happened,this film crew showed up and told us they were gonna teach us a dance for a filming of a flash mob(I've always wanted to be part of a flashmob)they said it was part of a promotional video that would be on one of the in room channels SO COOL!!! I was totally game n I ran right out into that street to learn the dance,it was a blasy eventhough boo wanted no part of it she just stood n watched while her sister n I got right into it.it was a good work out too,doing it over n over.Since we've been home I searched it on youtube and found a few vids but none in the same area that we were in BOOOOOOOO!!!!! Up next is the countdown to fun parade n we skip out on an ADR YIKES!!! I totally forgot.

 

[mamamouse]

mmmm falafelsss YUmmy ,we have a place here that makes them really good too

 

[93boomer]

Definately got a Canada visit on my bucket list in the future! Falafels are yummy!
I am gonna get me one of those cupcakes next week, since you bragged about it! Whew, I am going to have to stop eating between now and then to save up!
Ohh the girls are so adorable in all their dresses! Our DD didn't dress up when we went while she was little!

 

[mamamouse]

Oh yes,I believe everyone should have at least one of those cupcakes when in WDW,they are the most amazing thing ,my mouth waters just thinking of it,I might make some at home actually LOL
