I will NEVER grow up! YAY Disney!! Hi there :c) (The Pizza Planet Incident added)

Hi Everybody, my name is Kristen and I am a Disneyaholic. It has been several years since my last Disney experience, but I plan to remedy that in a couple weeks and break away from the kids to meet with my siblings for some good old adult Disney World fun! yeah Haven't done a Disney Adult trip since my honeymoon on the Big Red Boat 23 years ago! I am a military wife stationed currently in upper state New York and Disney has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up for years close to Disneyland, have made numerous trips to Disney World, and have been to Euro Disney twice. In fact on our second trip there we took two kids with us and left with our little souvenir :Cool if you catch my drift! And yes we were hoping it would happen even though the timing was all wrong which proves that Disney Magic was running amok and yes boy #3 nic named Fozzie, is a character mickey for sure! The only memory I have that is Disney related that truly makes me shudder is the infamous "Pizza Planet Incident" gaah in Euro Disney that involved Toy Story's Jesse and an toddler in desperate need of a nap whom shall remain nameless but isn't my first or third child. Just thinking about it makes me cringe so I shove it to the back of my brain and think happy thoughts. happy thoughts.. happy thoughts... I can fly! Anyways, it is awesome to be joining your little group here. clapping Now, I have a week and a half to prep for a trip for a bunch of middle agers (40's and early 50's) and their 73 and 80 year old Parents. We will be there for just a quick 3 day trip to do some "research" Wink for a family reunion in April. yay What should we do that we aren't going to do with kids in tow? Side note: My lovely little children got me hopelessly addicted to the online Disney game Toontown. Been stuck playing with a bunch of Disney toons for 7 years now with all of the other parents who's kids got them hooked then abandoned them.... *rolling eyeballs*

Hurly - welcome welcome! I love your energy and passion, and I think that siblings trip sounds AMAZING! I love my kiddoes too, but gosh, it would be fun to ditch them for a bit and act like kids with my brothers and sister!

I agree with Nikki - F&W is a must do with your group if you like good food. And if possible and everyone is up for it, I think it would be super neat to do a character meal someplace and have a cute pic taken, or at the very least have one of the WDW photographers do a special pic of the whole fam in front of the Castle, Spaceship Earth, or similar. As for last minute character ADRs, I hear really good things about Tusker House, and I don't think it's difficult to get in there.

I can't wait to hear all about this trip, as well as your stories from the others! Thanks for joining in the fun!

Where will y'all be staying, by the way? Any special events planned?

Thanks for all the love! You guys rock! biggrin We are planning for our reunion in the new art of animations hotel so were gonna check it out on this trip. I think were staying in the Lion King section. Should be fun! Unfortunately we have received some rotten news since the last post. Due to my husband's upcoming deployment, that falls less than a week after when we are supposed to be joining our family for the reunion, we will probably not be able to go.... Sad( Pray for miracles and Disney magic all!!!! There is a 1 week window that we won't be able to go. On one side he will deploy and I'll take the boys, on the other side, he can go with, but of course, the dates are landing where he is flying out less than a week after the reunion and that is a busy busy week that they will never let him take off. Maybe we'll be lucky and it will change.
HOWEVER! I went to a vendor fair today and there was a gal there pumping Disney and Disney cruises! She was saying there is a special going on where between January and March kids sail free on an 8 day cruise out of Galveston! We might explore doing this instead. We won't get to be with the family, but we will have a nice trip with 2 of our boys before my Hubby deploys out. I'll keep ya posted!
OK by popular demand, waiting "THE PIZZA PLANET INCIDENT".... So we stopped in Pizza Planet just a wee bit past what we normally had been doing as nap time. I would take Parker back and take a nap while my hubby and big boy would play. Well for some reason we made the mistake of deciding we were just having to much fun to nap so we got Parker his meal which was chicken nuggets, french fries and apple sauce. When we got sat down, Jesse walked in. clapping We told both the boys that they could see Jesse as soon as they finished so Mitch plowed through his food and ran over yeah to visit. Parker threw a fit because he couldn't go over until he ate. Angry This is a child who never melts down, but OBVIOUSLY a missed nap was NOT a good idea. Stare So people are staring at this screaming child who grabs his bag of fries and sends it FLYING through the crowd. Doesn't work. He doesn't get his way, gets a slight scolding and decides that he didn't get his point across so the fit intensifies gaah and next to fly is the apple sauce! OK Enough is enough, IT IS TIME FOR A NAP! So I stuff the little "angel" Innocent in his fold up umbrella stroller to make the trek through the park and back to the hotel. Screaming the whole way, the precious child keeps jamming his foot under the front wheel so I can't go forward, so I tip him back to go on 2 wheels, and since it is a horribly cheap $20 fold up stroller, every time I tip it back, the silly thing folds up on my delightful yuck rugrat. This is ALL THE WAY through the park! mad I'm sure I was viewed as the wicked witch Ghost as I gnashed my teeth through the park and to the buses to go to the hotel. Can you say MORTIFIED?!?! eek By the time we made it back to the Cheyenne, I felt like I went through a WWF Cage Match! We took a LONG nap!!! And we never missed a nap time again!!!!!!! lol.
There it is. You asked for it! lol laugh

Bless your heart! My two year old threw a fit in Starbucks the other day. Not the norm, and I was completely mortified. My mom was with us thankfully, and I asked her to take him outside to stop the stares (I was in line.) The trigger? We broke his pumpkin bread in half. Seriously. eek

Okay, I'm so glad I got in on the action with the Pizza Planet story added already, because the suspense was killing me.

First, WELCOME! Your enthusiasm and storytelling abilities are infectious, and we are so glad to have you!

Oh, friend, I so feel your pain with the Jesse thing! It is so hard to keep rules enforced when kids are out-of-their-skulls tired and things aren't going their way. I know you were beat red and feeling like the wicked witch strolling that kid to the front of the park, but you RULE for sticking to your guns, not giving in, and getting him out of there. I think a weaker parent would've said, Go on, go see Jesse, just to save themselves further embarrassment but it's parents like YOU who are raising kids who are going to fare so much better in the long run!!

Can I get a Three Cheers for Kristen??

Hip, Hip, Hooray!! clapping
