Yeah. We'll give it a chance another time. I'm just not in a hurry to do it again soon.Squirrelly kids can really ruin a show. Not that they ruin it on purpose of course but ti's exhausting trying to keep them engaged, pay attention to the show on your own and actually enjoy any of it. It has happened to all of us. There will be a point in time where it will be magical for all of you, this just wasn't it.
I know. I mean I really liked the theming, I thought it was a cool place to check out and the food was fine. And despite all that I'm in no rush to return.That kind of experience can utterly ruin a place for you. I've still never eaten there and this doesn't make me want to!
It definitely tested our reflexes!That will give you a heart attack and a hard time going back to sleep!
I always enjoy the show. I hope DS gets a chance to ask a question sometime. And I kind of regret not doing it again when we were in DL.Crush rocks, I can't blame him!
Yeah, I get that. I know she's well within her rights to do what she's got to do, but when she's sitting a few feet away from 2 total strangers on the same bench... just awkward.LOL! I have mixed feelings on this one. Very pro nursing here but not a let it all hang out kind of gal. Still I can't really censure it even if I don't always find it appropriately handled. Awkward though to be sure.
I completely understand.That is so NOT too much pizza for 4.5 people at my house. Just wait!
Well, to make things more interesting now, DD has recently decided she no longer likes pizza and refuses to eat any at all.Oh man, I feel your pain, I am reliving the E's childhood here!
I don't like the new normal!Not a fail, just a new normal. Hard to transition though. Impressed you went and found a warmer pool. I'd have bailed entirely unless there was a hot tub nearby!
We had promised the kids some swim time though. So it was either suck it up in the cold more crowded pool or go to the one that I knew from prior experience would be warmer and deserted.
Absolutely true... the day started off about as bad as it could have, but by the time we left, it was a complete success.BRUTAL start! But the kids sure looked happy, saw their favorites and the food was decent. At the end of the day the pro's outweigh the stressfull start.
Yeah... I've got to think the Tier system has an impact on this... I mean everybody goes for the TSMM FP+ and then you're plugging up the queue and single rider line at RNRC the rest of the day. I mean, just my observation, but it seems like the lines there are worse now than they were before FP+.I have to say, in Feb, the RRC lines were BRUTAL and times horrible, pretty constantly. Even single rider was a major challenge, I got on it once I think the whole trip and was thwarted quite a bit. It does open back up but you have to be willing to swing by there a lot to catch it just right.
Not my finest moment.I really don't blame you at all!
And honestly, this was the most crowded day we experienced at MK. I think it was just the fact that we chose to focus on attractions that aren't near the top of everyone's must do list. It just made it more laid back and manageable.Love the jokes!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot believe how much you got done this day, especially in comparison to many of the others. You really had quite a productive day all around.
I'm glad everyone enjoyed it.That is a RIOT! Frameable!
Having entertainment when waiting in line is always a good thing. Even if the line is short. I did feel sorry for the little girl. But watching her disrupt her own pictures was priceless.I was dying at your description of the Anna/Elsa Dress Nascar pit stop tire change. Poor thing and good for her for ruining a few pictures! I am glad it was good character interactions all around.
Well, I at least held it together long enough to walk away from the scene of the accident before I laughed.I am really impressed that you held it together! Poor thing though (and I hope she had insurance). The last night is always so sad, nice that it ended with a special meal even if poor Mickey did get whacked upside the nose!
Well... I haven't mentioned anything yet because we have just entered the talking phase. But I might be getting ready to plan a trip for 14 in about a year and a half. It would include a family of 4 first time visitors, a family of 4 second time visitors who had a less than stellar first trip... and a couple of people who took a "once in a lifetime" trip with us and now want to go back. But of all the kids that would be going, DS is the oldest, and 3 of them are younger than DD.6 people and....little kids. It is draining. You didn't add in the keeping kids entertained, dealing with moods and naps, picky eating, all of that. It adds up and wears you out. It is a new normal for a while but it DOES get better. I promise!
I'm always glad when DW is asking me to plan another Disney trip, but I'm just not sure I'm ready for this.
Me too! I hope to get to it soon!Looking forward to DL!
