I thought it might be fun to check out the computer stations and did have a quick chance to get Cinderella as my character
I've never done that. I wonder what I'd get? Might have to have that on the list of DHS time-killers for May.
before a CM came over and kicked me out. He did, however, say that I could sit on the benches closer to the exit/shop, so that is where I headed.
Boo on getting kicked out!
Glad there was another spot that worked, though. So funny to think about us over at Epcot while you were sitting there. And, yes, you missed quite a downpour!
But soon Aria took her turn and met Jessie which was pretty cool as I’ve never waited for her in the MK.
Oh, cool. That's a good reminder that I have to add Jessie to the list for May (I guess at MK, unless we hit a characterpalooza and get lucky with her there). Izzy loves her these days (well, she loves Buzz and Woody too). Glad you had a nice meet, despite the line-crasher.
Anyway we finally met Mary Poppins and she was really sweet – she asked Aria if she had an umbrella so they had a cute little talk about that.
Aw, it would have been so cute if Aria had her umbrella with her for that!
Still really cute that they chatted about umbrellas.
Side note - Pinocchios on our cruise had the soft pretzels as snacks - what a GREAT mid-day "free" treat!!
Interesting. I wonder if they are on the Dream?
I texted back and forth with Dugette and was worried they weren’t going to make it in time but they did.
Well, if you consider a few minutes late "on time", then yes.
Next time, I will see the first 7 minutes of the show. And hopefully not be seated in the back with a pillar in the way. The pics from your seats are SO much better than the view we ended up with.
and we saw it again in October with DH and he absolutely loved it!
Who's DH was this?!
Kidding, that's great that Andrew loves a Disney show. It is really well-done and enjoyable for all ages.
Love how Izzy is staring into Lightning McQueen's eyes!
That also reminds me that she will surely want to meet them again. She has a couple of Lightning McQueen cars and calls them by name. And seems amused by the decal of Mater on her wall.
The music was so fun and the girls were having quite the little dance party! Side note - in the last few weeks Aria has been breaking out into dance just about anywhere. She never was a huge dancer (I'm honestly not into music so rarely play it - DH is), so this is totally new. Like, at the mall she'll just start dancing while walking or break it down in a shop. It's pretty hilarious.
This ended up being a really fun event - more than I'd anticipated. The girls were just having such a good time, it ended up being fairly relaxing and I was able to enjoy the treats. That's so cute that Aria is so into dancing now. Izzy always has been - I remember her being under 1 and rocking out whenever we walked into a place that was playing music. I'm not a dancer at all, so she must have inherited that from Dug.
At some point they thought it would be fun to lie on the ground, and I am not really a germophobe so I didn’t really care – the table next to us who had a maybe, 6 year old girl? Seemed disgusted though.
Not a germophobe here either. I didn't realize the people next to us were disgusted. Guess I wasn't paying attention. Funny that their daughter ended up on the ground with the girls.
Thankfully my little Disney Bug was 100% gone and I was feeling great!
Yay!
I'm glad it didn't last long for you. Maybe it was food poisoning after all and just I got the Disney Bug, since I was sick for a few days when I got home. Who knows.
The goat cheese eggs are delicious as well.
Mmmmm, love those!
Boma used to be a hard to get ressie but I haven’t had any issues lately – and look how empty! - It was one of the most delicious breakfasts I've had at Disney though!
We love Boma breakfast too. AKL may be far from the parks (except AK), but it has such great dining options that it's near the top of my list of favorite resorts (well, and the animals help too). I think it would be the perfect place to stay pre or post-cruise, if you don't have park tickets. Just spend a couple nights and eat at Boma, Sanaa, and Jiko, swim in the pool, check out the animals.....sounds nice!
I’m going to miss the Resort Airline Check in by not staying onsite in May!
I'm going to miss it too, since we'll be on a non-participating airline in May!
I'm so spoiled with that now.
I apparently wasn’t paying attention at all though, and took the wrong airport monorail to our gate, so we ended up getting 3 rides on it today!
This sounds like something I would do!
For lunch we did Sbarro pizza
Izzy is a weirdo and still doesn't like pizza. Just won't eat it. Silly kid!
I did ask the gate agent if anyone could help me carry something but she was not very nice and acted super rude about her resounding NO! So I got to lug the 5000 lb stroller and car seat and backpack and leftover pizza and drinks down the tarmac.
Booooooo to that gate agent!
I'm impressed you managed all that stuff. I'd have probably ended up dumping the pizza and drinks. Glad that Aria was a helper, at least. I wish my stroller bag had wheels! And mine's not even as heavy as yours!
As soon as we got on the plane I buckled her into her car seat and covered her with a muslin blanket and she was out – so I got to use a free Southwest drink coupon and listen to a book from Audible – lovely easy flight home!
That is awesome! I love that you just totally cover her and she's out!
Sounds like a pleasant flight for Mommy!
Thank you SO much for reading along with my August mommy/daughter trip. It was another AMAZING trip and I can't wait to do it again
I can see why you love your mommy/daughter trips! It's really a fun bonding experience to have that one-on-one time in a amazing place.
We are saving up to move to a better town with a 1000x better school district (it's either that or pay for private school)
Good luck with your moving plans! Makes me glad we live in a good district. I doubt we could even sell our house and have enough to pay off our mortgage if we needed to move (buying in 2007 lost us a ton of value almost immediately). Anyway, I hope you are still able to work in enough Disney trips to keep you happy and get your money's worth out of the AP. So, which trip are you writing about next?
