Oh my gosh it’s 9:30am and we’re still here!
What??? Get moving!!!
Why yes, yes we are. But I had already planned this since I figured we’d have a long night with Yachtsman and planned accordingly for late FP’s.
Oh. Well, okay then.
attempting our first family photo at Epcot and it was pretty much as I expected, with no one looking
But seriously, characters? Who needs stinkin’ characters when you have this to ride!
Yes....
And yes, I did ride while almost 5 months pregnant because my doctor insisted! Who am I to question her medical expertise?
You could have endangered the baby if you
didn't ride it. You know. From the stress of... not riding. Yeah. Let's go with that.
Little did we know, we’d be purchasing a Traverse almost 6 months later!
Ha! Did your trying it out at that time affect your decision?
We found them still checking out cars and DS was clearly bored
Yeah, he looks pretty done.
So DH said he didn’t mind moving on to something else. What a nice guy. Me? Nope, would have gone on in a heartbeat
I like your style, lady.
Flash, whoops!
And no guys, not that type of flash
Dang it!!!
And solo shots
He got into it and tried to position DH so it looked like Dory was eating his head
but made a quick stop for a father-son picture
Nice. And in the most popular photo spot in WS.
Okay, I lied. Another quick stop for a picture in front of the fountain
Okay, I lied.
That's the most popular photo spot in WS.
Perfect place to stretch out and people watch!
A great hobby at Disney.
Is it possible to over-order cheese? Cause we did!
It's possible???
And some Escargot, per DH’s request again
mmmmmm..... escargot.... mmmmmm....
Oh and the complimentary bread. I could NOT keep my mitts off of it! It was warm, crunchy on the outside and melt in your mouth soft on the inside.
You're killing me here.
As of now, we have saved a total of $84.52. We spent $150 for the card. Was it worth it? With 5 TiW restaurants still to go, we’ll soon find out.
I'm betting... yes.
I mentioned that we back track and start in Canada…per my request
Good choice.
oh, no reason....
I brought back this nugget to kinda share
Oh, man! I want one right now!
It used to be that I could hide my food fairly easy from DS, but he’s wised up and learned to check out our hands when we come back from somewhere
You're going to have to learn new tricks!
I mean one can only have so many Beaver Butt lip balms or Moose Droppings candles or whatever they have in there
One can never have enough.
Just sayin'.
Next up, the United Kingdom, where DM and DH had a fun impromptu meet with Tigger! They were looking at some stuff in the shop together while I was pushing DS in the stroller and the CM pretty much dragged them in since there was no line.
Impromptu is the best. Especially considering how much planning goes into these trips.
I saw Mary Poppins out meeting and pointed it out to DH who then proceeded to run over to the line but was rejected immediately as they had closed her line down.
Darn. Too bad. I bet your DS would've loved her.
As we were walking away from her, he shouted, “I still love you Mary!”
Ugh, such a creep.
to purchase these goodies
You had me at chocolate.
DH asked the photographer if he could take a picture of him sitting down (he thinks she was supposed to be taking pictures of the UK Pavilion as the background) but she did it for him! He said the two guys had no idea what was going on
I present to you, The Beverly!
Shoot. At work. I'll have to check it out when I get home.
Alright we made it up to him and took him here. I realize that this may be a form of punishment to some of you, but hey there’s no line and we like it!
That's okay. When DDs were 4 & 8, this was their favourite ride in all the parks.
Sunshine Seasons for some Strawberry Shortcake!
Soooo good.
And of course, you can’t come in here without paying a visit to Living with the Land.
Well....... I may have done just that...
And DH hit a wall
Hey, Pineapples are pretty darn exciting if you ask me!
I think it's funny that he's out but your DS isn't.
Hello!!
I really enjoyed sitting there and just watching people be happy (for the most part
),
(With the occasional "Do you know how much I paid for this???" thrown in.)
Every trip (well, this is the third time in a row), he seems to make it a ritual and purchase a new bag to take to school. So we now have a decent collection of Adidas bags happening at home.
Let him do it.
That way, you can keep going. "Isn't it time for a new bag?"
DM went with something different – Candele – candle-stick pasta, sausage ragu, polpettine meatballs, ricotta and mozzarella.,
Wow! That looks good! Wish I'd ordered that instead.
It was delicious! But this was a very filling dish so she only finished maybe half of it.
Looks huge.
But really, everyone comes here for the pizzas.
As did I.
And I wasn't overly impressed.
And you CANNOT come here and not order the tiramisu!
Again...
It was time to start heading back home but couldn’t go past Spaceship Earth without a ride!
Probably a walk on?
He felt left out without having his hand over his chest, so he joined the photographer!
In case anyone is wondering, he’s not allowed to show his nametag in pictures and that’s why his hand is up.
Wonder why?
In the room, I decided to have my second round of dessert for the night
Uh, the baby needs it. Yeah, that’s right, the baby!
Of course!
