Today is a wee fuzzy in my old lady brain. I know we got up..early..I wanted to be at HS early. The kids went outside and played while we waited for Noah and my mother.
We then boarded a bus to HS and we got in fast. Noah went and grabbed us FP's for TSM:
then he and Declan went to ride Rockin Rollercoaster.. Declan's first real coaster. Sadly we don't have the picture...grr.
Eric and I took Ziah to do Tower of Terror. I did NOT want to ride this,.. I have never before because I am a big ole wimp..but I had decided before this trip, that I was going to conquer my fear. So we headed that way, and Taejan and my mom ate breakfast at the counter service area nearby.
Well I hated ToT..Ziah was unsure but after the fact (like the next day) she proclaims she loves it..lol..her face is priceless and of course Eric and I are looking at her because we were worried about her..lol ( back row right side)
Noah and Declan took off and spent the day doing whatever... I didn't pry because I know them spending this time together is important to Declan. Noah will be moving out and raising his own son soon.
Taejan and Ziah played a game:
and got a reward...score!
I shopped.. they had the cutest baby stuff.. I had to restrain myself!
Ok here's where I get fuzzy.. I do believe the rest of us headed over to Voyage of the Little Mermaid ..Taejan and Lady waiting.
This show was in referb last year so it was great to let Ziah and Taejan experience it. Then we went thru One Mans Dream to waste some time before our FP's were good.
We grabbed another set of FP's for TSM:
And rode:
Taejan rode with me:
I kicked his little bum!
Up next...um..I don't remember!!!

Okay everyone..stop being weekend warriors and get back to the boards..LOL>. oh wait..I have to get back to organizing and cleaning..
After TSMM we walked around a bit..heading ultimately to Muppets:
we once again enjoyed the cheesy show..my kids love The Muppets!
We headed over to Star Tours.. Now last year Eric got sick twice because of this ride..so he opted to skip it. I handed him the backpack and Declan handed him his pin case and off we went.
Taejan was the rebel spy!! I guess earlier in the day when Noah and Declan rode Declan was the rebel spy..and last year Noah was once.. we just need to get Ziah picked next year!
After this we had time before our 50's Prime Time ressie..but the weather was changing.. and it didn't look good. Taejan tried this:
The 5 of us decided to get close to 50's and wait..it was a good 80 minutes until our ressie..but the weather was about to get bad. My mother made the VERY good call to go stand under the overhang at 50's.. So glad she did. We had bad wind, lightening and thunder..and Noah and Declan were out in it..ack. I texted Noah and they were actually about to ride Star Tours again..told him once that was over to head to the restaurant. Once they arrived I went ahead and checked in..a full hour early. I did this mostly because then I felt like we could wait inside verses under the overhang. The CM told me it would def be that hour before they called us. Well about 8 minutes later they called our name..SCORE!!
We got sat next to 2 separate couples whom the waiter was giving a heck of a time to..it was hysterical. This is about the only time Taejan was on his absolute best behavior..I actually wanted to take the waiter home with us..lol
Poor Noah looks like a drowned rat. The food was ok.. not anything special..maybe its because it's all food I regularly cook.. The waiter was beyond good.. at one point he got some of my meatloaf on my fork and force fed me..lmao..it was great!
Noah and Declan were done..they headed back to the resort. The rest of us decided we wanted to ride The Great Movie ride..
I swear they were in good moods..
for once we got the cowboy..I never had before!! After that we were also done.. HS is our least favorite park. We headed out.. before we did though I had a few pictures done..notice our photo bomber is in a poncho..it was barely sprinkling and we have now made it thru park day 2 with NO PONCHOS!!
We got back to the resort and it was warm and muggy and no more rain..so it was pool time!
First we got to see this.. I LOVE mousekeeping!
Adult drink for me..
it was beyond yummy.. had fresh mint leaves..seriously good drink!
it was then snacks,showers and bedtime for this family..
Up next..Epcot

YEAH! Love the TR and the pics! I am cracking up b/c i'm thinking stuff and then read what you wrote and then you wrote it - like going on its a small world! HA! And I keep going back to my itinerary to see if we were in the same place at the same time! Can't wait to read more!
Oh totally forgot.. so we get out of Star Tours and go find Eric and low and behold he doesnt have Ziah's pin bag.. tells me we never gave it to him..um.. yes yes we did.. ( anyone remember when he lost Taejan last year..same darn "it wasn't me it's not my fault" situation.. grrr).. so he goes off insisting we never gave it to him.. Taejan is a mess because his pins are all gone. I went to the Fast Pass CM and asked if anyone had turned one in..YEP..thank goodness. Of course Eric pouted for the next hour or so ( well till food arrived at 50's).. not one of his most stellar moments!
LOL.. I think we would get along wonderfully!

Just got all caught up! I absolutley agree about the resemblance between Ursulla and Sonja! LOL! A few years ago we rented a surrey at the Boardwalk....can I just say it was the ride from you know where!? At least you made it around twice...we barely made it one time! All fun though. Oh well, can't wait to keep on reading!
And here i thought it was b/c of my sparkling personality!
pretty sure it's all of the above..LOL
I def did NOT want to go around twice..lol

Epcot is my families #1 park.. we could come here every day and be happy.
We got up early with plans to be at Epcot by 8:45..we got to the bus stop and my kids were all so very pleased @@..the eldest was a zombie:
and 10 year old apparently had a death wish:
Ok a stearn look from me and they were all fine and waiting ever so patiently..notice that Bday button on Taejan? Today was HIS Disney Birthday..he had picked The Garden Grill as his bday meal because Chip n Dale are his #1 faves!
We got to the park
and were in by 8:45am..Noah headed off to get FP's for Soarin'.
We snagged some photopass pictures:
I swear my mom was with us..she just didn't want to be in the pictures..
On the way to The Land the kids did some pin trading..of course..I love watching them interact with the CM's.
and we are there..and guess what..we had no stroller to park and NOT bring in with us then try and find after..score again!
Up next..we soar...

I shopped.. they had the cutest baby stuff.. I had to restrain myself!
OMG- these outfits are beyond ADORABLE!!! Were they marketed as costumes? Or were they actual outfits? Just wondering if they'd be considered seasonal. We're heading down to visit w/family after our trip next month and now that my nephew is out of the woods and out of preemie clothes I want to pick up some things for him. So cute! Do you remember which store these were in? We only have one DHS day and I'll need to add some time for shopping.
I also highly dislike ToT. The attention to detail is amazing, but I hate freefall style rides. I had to try it once, but that's it. I'll stick to roller coasters.
Can't wait to read more.
