Re: JustaT's AWESOME trip to the world
OK....so here is where I have my first meltdown of the trip (not an open meltdown....just an internal meltdown). Lillian and Avery were really going at it (basically because they were tired and bored). BOTH of them wanted me to hold them and I was just TOO exhausted. It was time for a potty break and Avery refused to go (this was really her first time getting defiant on our entire trip). After pushing the issue I decided that I wouldn't take her...no use forcing the issue. I went potty, changed Lillians diaper and was ready to head out when Avery starts SCREAMING that she needs to go potty. At this point I really just wanted John to take her because I was just plain POOPED and needed a little help with the tots. I took her potty and she was still pretty fussy.
Basically here is where I start to tear up. John looks over at me and TOOK OVER. Did I mention how much I my DH. He handed me a beer (now THAT'S what I am talking about ) and distracted Avery with these phone booths![]() ![]()

Re: JustaT's AWESOME trip to the world
Then he took Lillian over to walk around a cute little path
![]() ![]() Bottom line is that I think I was the one who really needed a break and the girls were feeling that tension from me. Once John took over everyone relaxed a bit more. WHAT A GREAT DAD!

Re: JustaT's AWESOME trip to the world
What beautiful girls you have..very photogenic. Regarding Shamu, I have
a friend who is a vet there and she says he is very old..considered a bull and that is what happens to a males fin and tail as they get older. But I feel sorry for him also being in that tank but because he was born and raised at Sea World maybe he doesn't know any better. |

Re: JustaT's AWESOME trip to the world
We stopped to listen to this fun little band (they were cranking 80's tunes so I was in heaven). The girls really enjoyed dancing and just hanging out. I have a really cute video of them dancing to "summer of '69", but I don't know how to post videos....perhaps I'll do that after doing a bit of research.

Re: JustaT's AWESOME trip to the world
Then Avery was watching this nice lady feed a duck some french fries. The lady was so sweet and gave her a pile of fries to feed the duck too. Another one of those magical moments brought to us by NICE PEOPLE

Re: JustaT's AWESOME trip to the world
We didn't have Candellight Processional plans, but we did want to walk past and see if we could hear it. Along the way we ran into a few of our beloved characters.
Alice was so adorable and sweet ![]() Avery LOVED Mary....she was really a special find for her ![]() Sadly we didn't get to meet Beast (he was set to have a potty break and we already met Belle) ![]()

Re: JustaT's AWESOME trip to the world
We were in line to meet Jasmine and Aladdin, but they both had to leave (UGH...we were almost there), but it was no problem because Genie took the place

Re: JustaT's AWESOME trip to the world
We watched the entire thing from the outside of the Pavillion. The girls LOVED the music and storytelling.
![]() ![]() Next time I will do the preferred seating with Dining. Definitely would have been worth that. We didn't have any probelms seeing anything, but it would have been nice to sit.

Re: JustaT's AWESOME trip to the world
Now it is dark and the kids have HAD it for the day. We decide that we won't be able to make it to Illuminations
That was the hardest decision of the entire trip, but it was worth it. There will always be another time and it was really time to make it an early night. We RAN to the exit. It was PACKED, the kids were crying and MIL was dragging (we almost got a wheelchair for her)![]() ![]() This is what my sweet babies looked like as we waited for our bus. ![]()

Re: JustaT's AWESOME trip to the world
This was the only bus ride that was awful (naturally). We had to wake the girls up and get them on the bus so they were both a bit weepy (and both wanted mom). DH and DMIL grabbed a girl and I grabbed the stroller. It was PACKED and we had to split everyone up on the bus and all of us had to stand (MIL with a crying Lillian, DH with a crying Avery and me with the stroller). There were several men that really should have offered up at least my DH and DMIL with the crying babies a seat
Oh well, we made it Everyone was in bed within minutes of arriving at the hotel. Next up, our last park day at Magic Kingdom.

Thank you too for the info on Shamu. I am glad it is just because he is old. It was pretty clear that the other Orka's were much younger (just by size alone). He was SOOOO much bigger than they were.

Avery's favorite is the stage show. We got there just in time.
