So I apparently have NO notes from this day...ugh. Well it's been 2 months so I'm going to try and remember it all!
This was a NO main park day.. we decided to go try out Typhoon Lagoon. We woke up..I got the kids and I all ready..and Eric..well he was being a typical MALE that doesn't feel exactly right. I was NOT pleased.. I hadn't felt right in 3 days..oh well..move on..
So the kids and I got on a bus without Eric and headed to TL.. yep..i left him. I told him to come and just sit in a beach chair..but nope..
Anyway..we got on bus and before you know it we were at TL... again..I have NO water proof camera..so there is all of ONE picture..
The kids and I got a locker and then waiting for them to let us in the rest of the park. We grabbed a few chairs, put our stuff on them and headed to the wave pool. They rode the little slide at the edge a few times. Then Eric showed up ( and miraculously located us).. guess he either was feeling better or figured out parents dont get sick days..lol
So we spent the next few hours doing the very few rides.. I have to say overall..not impressed. Taejan was .5 inch too short for the water coaster ( the BEST part of the place) and then got attitude when I took him over the the under 48 inch zone.. hey he's 47.5 inches..so dont mess with me!
We did LOVE the lazy river..but the wave pool..well Declan had been waiting for the Tidal wave then when it hit it took him under bad and he was shaken up for the rest of the day.
I found the offerings at TL lacking for Taejan big time..especially when you compare it to BB. He was too big really for the kiddie area...and there just isnt enough rides in general.. we did enjoy our time but honestly I doubt we will ever go back. we def like BB MUCH better!
So after TL we headed back to the resort..mousekeeping had already been there..
We showered then headed....

So.. this trip was about doing new things.. so far we had done both water parks.. first for us..and now we are off to Disney Quest for the first time!!
More pictures of Port Orleans.. I seriously love how lush this place is
The water wheel was up and working..whoot whoot!
and work on the foot bridge began
boat ride pictures
Our destination
I did almost no research on this place.. so this was going to be interesting. it was DEAD..so apparently we picked a great time to be here! our MB's worked fine on the hand held scanner they use.
We stayed for hours.. had a BLAST!
there was no wait..for anything.
we ate dinner there and got yummy cupcakes!
after hours of fun we headed out into the day light...

We've never been on this side of DtD so we strolled around.. wandered in and out of shops..
Got snacks..this is when I love the DDP...I can let them get whatever snack they want!
The Lego store is always a must..even if we never buy anything
gorgeous sunset
Then we waited..and waited for the volcano..it was worth it!
Then we hopped on a boat back..got off at POFQ and raced the boat back to PORs..we WON.lol.. then it was crash and burn for us all.. water park then Disney Quest..we were beat!

We got a SLOW start to our morning..but somehow still made it to the bustop by 9:15.. We are on our way to Epcot!! Now as I mentioned before..we had a few friends who were in Disney at the same time.. thought the chances of seeing them was slim.. ran into one in AK..and now as we head over to Mouse Gears we LITERALLY ran right into more! We stopped to chat for a few..it was their last day..I felt bad because we got there before them and still had almost a week left..lol
After seeing Kathy and Brian , Taejan and I went into Mouse Gears. He wanted to buy Ziah something for her Duffy. I had been putting it off because honestly.. She's mean to him..at all time..and I wouldnt spend my money on someone who is mean to me..all.the.time. Alas Taejan is a nicer human than I am I guess...
Look..she can't even smile...grrr
Declan and I hopped on TT single rider..and managed to ride together!
We had a snack..then went into Innoventions.. to waste time.. seriously..its nice the first time you ever go in..after that its the same stuff..so why bother?
Then Eric and Dec go thru Single Rider... no picture? Then we ride together with out FP+ ( we pulled paper FP's too..)
We ended up passing the paper fast passes on to another family
We headed to World Showcase...but you know kids..can't exactly just walk by the misters!
Up Next...the boat

Always always have to take the hat picture

After riding the Maelstrom we headed over to China..yet again deciding NOT to meet Mulan.. one day we will..I swear!!
I was starving and we had never eaten here..so we opted for a meal at Lotus Blossom Cafe.. was perfect and yummy and a nice check in our "something different" column...
Then it was looking around time...
Declan was moping because I wasnt feeling the whole "Agent P Missions"..sorry kid... we've done them all and sometimes mama just wants to look around!
We meandered our way around...
We also ran into a fellow Disney Message board mom here....
A little Duffy coloring
Up next..The American Adventure!

Declan has somehow managed to not experience The American Adventure the last 2 trips...so I was determined he was going to this trip!
We arrived in time for this:
The boys ( of course NOt the girl) took part:
After we went inside for the Voices of Liberty. Little side note.. the gentlemen that works here..the older one..was kinda rude. I know the kids can "meet" the drum guys and talk to them..but mine took part in the little show so we felt they had done enough. The gentlemen was not pleased we walked right into the building to get a good seat for the Voices..he felt they should have been chatting with the drum guys @@.. the funniest thing is Taejan heard him telling the children to go chat with the drum guys and he says "did he just say "all the dumb children" can go mom?"...LOL
we got front and center for The Voices of Liberty:
They are simply amazing.. then it was off to The American Adventure.. I love this "show"..
We wandered some more..
We are done in World Showcase now...

We started heading out of Epcot...
Of course we had to ride SpaceShip Earth..I mean..you can't simply WALK by this and not jump in line afterall!
We hopped on the monorail.. headed to TTC.. switched to the resort line. We were early so we rode an extra ciruit..well as we get to MK the monorail is PACKED..a family with a giant stroller gets on.. the dad has a metal themos.. that falls.. it was loud..so loud the crew thought something broke on the monoral so we got delayed...lol.. come to find out the thermos was full of beer..epic!
So now we get off and head to the Luau. I was preparred for a cheesy show.. and bad food.. well we got the cheesy show...but the food was great. and the show, while cheesy in parts..well it was awesome in other parts. We def didnt feel this was a waste of credits!!
i HATE these stupid fake flower things!
My only "complaint" was the table was really too small for 5 of us..but we made due!
Someone loved all the pretty girls
and the hot towels
Cheesy part of the show
Adorable part..see my boy?
pretty cool parts of the show!
HOT parts of the show...yum..
Did I mention hot?
We had a great time..the pulled pork is amazing!
We leave..get on the monorail and guess what....we end up in the same car as my friend Heather and her husband and 2 boys.. too funny!!
We took the bus from MK back to the resort.. Taejan had a total meltdown..it was not pleasant..he stayed in the room while the other 2 went swimming.. then it was crash time!

Love your TR! Hoping that you'll finish it!
September 22 2013 was day 11 of our trip. we had no real plan of attack for this day except we had lunch ADR's in MK... we slept in.. moved slow etc.. even with that we were at a bus stop by 9:40. We got to the MK and headed directly over to the Fire Station so Declan can get his cards for the day. I look and I see our friends!! Hi Jason and the boys!
We headed to the left..
We spotted this guy on the way!
We didnt do Country Bears in 2012 so off we went...
It was hysterical because the little boy behind us said "That one looks like daddy" EVERY time a new bear was showcased...I was nearly dying laughing it was so cute!
After that , with his Hidden Mickey book in hand, we headed off to Haunted Mansion
Taejan found someones Magic Band and turned it in... then this:
Now..it was food time. We have never tried Liberty Tree Tavern and I was really excited to. We checked in.. waited..they called the "Droids" family..face plant.. there's a Z in our last name and only one vowel so it gets messed up bad all the time ( never mind my kids first names..lol).. usually hostesses just use our first names..much easier..lol..
We sat upstairs and had a wonderful meal..one of the best of the trip!
After this we headed over to the kids favorite spot:
Tom Sawyer Island!
Up Next..the island!
