alexwyattmommy 181 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 What size is the cloth on your table? I am thinking of just bringing the remnants of the black plastic I used to put my garden to bed for the winter. Did you fix your carbon monoxide detector? Can't wait to see those views for myself on Sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 What size is the cloth on your table? I am thinking of just bringing the remnants of the black plastic I used to put my garden to bed for the winter. Did you fix your carbon monoxide detector? Can't wait to see those views for myself on Sunday. I couldn't find the correct size tablecloth, so I used an odd sized cheap one from Walmart and threw it away when we left. The perfect size would be 72 x 72. I want something machine washable and have decided to get a heavy vinyl shower curtain to use as a tablecloth instead. No, we didn't fix the detector down there. Had to put up with the beeping the night on the road coming home too. It really unnerved Kassie. Hope you have a great trip! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 That is a good idea. I am sure I have unused shower curtains. I will be measuring them today. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm in on the official report. I would have been in a hotel if there was nonstop beeping. I'm such a light sleeper. Can't wait to hear more! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Sunday, November 3 - Part 2 After getting everything set up, David and I went to the MK. We purchased our APs and M/E/kids' five day park passes and linked them to our MagicBands. Ouch. What an investment! Then we went upstairs in the train station for me to check out my zoom lens. At 18MM: At nearly 300MM: I was pleased with the results. A few more shots from the train station: We walked down Main Street for just a few minutes. We had our first Photopass picture made, and, dang it, I forgot to turn on my flash when he used my camera. We headed back to the fort and eagerly awaited the arrival of M/E and the kids. We distributed the MagicBands and had GAG for dinner. After just getting two hours of sleep the night before, I crashed really early. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikmouse 3 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hi Gwen, I am enjoying your TR. Lovely pics. So glad you got to spend this magical time with your beautiful family. I am looking forward to seeing more. We leave for WDW Sat. after Thanksgiving. Not at the Fort this time, but at DVC Boardwalk. We are surely going over though to visit our friends. We definitely need a Fort fix. Our friends are staying in the cabins, so we definitely will not miss out on seeing for Fort. Sorry we missed you this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope you have a great trip! You may have gotten the last photos of the MK before the Christmas decorations went up. TCD I'm not sure when they went up. We didn't go back to MK until 11/8, and they were up then. But last year I took a photo of the DHS tree on 11/4, and this year we never saw it. We did see the AK tree and a few decorations in EPCOT. It seemed like the decorations were much later going up this year. We didn't even see any decorations at the fort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Monday, November 4 - Who has the First Meltdown? Despite the anticipated crowds, we were all determined to go to MK. I think Red was sleepy. Diva certainly dressed up for the occasion! First up was Buzz Lightyear. Then Space Mountain for M/E and the big kids. Einstein and Diva loved it! While they were on SM we rode the PeopleMover with the little ones. Then we experienced our first meltdown, and it wasn’t by Red. It was our happy-go-lucky Miracle! He was angry that we couldn’t go ride the Barnstormer right then! He boohooed for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile we didn't realize Red was busy pulling the plants up. We have a new landscaper in the family. Guess he thought Disney was planting something ugly. Then it was time for a spin on the speedway: Einstein had on his birthday button and received some pixie dust. The attendant put a huge “It’s my Birthday” sign on the back of his car. Einstein drove the first lap, then they switched drivers and Diva drove the second lap. Then we made our way into New Fantasyland in search of the Barnstormer. I love this next pic. It's Miracle holding his little hands up. He loved it! Dumbo was next. Don't you just love people walking into your pics? The details on Dumbo are incredible! I was trying to get artsy: Red having a great time: We started walking in the direction of our lunch destination. No,not here: Continued in next post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 An early break down did not bode well for the trip, did it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Annie, with the pace of the week, including no nap breaks, I'm surprised we didn't have even more meltdowns than we did. M/E hadn't been to WDW in 4 years and knew it would be at least 3 more before they go again, so they pushed those kids morning to night. David and I couldn't keep up with them.

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Your grandchildren are adorable, Gwen. I hate seeing kids have melt-downs at WDW. But it happens. I learned early on to not push the kids and to go with the flow. It's much more fun that way. I'd rather do less and everybody have a good time, than be constantly on the go and have kids melting down. I certainly understand parents who feel compelled to get it all done. I'm glad we lived close by and never needed to go at that pace. I loved the photos you took of the details on Dumbo. I have never noticed the small murals painted at the base of the ride, which I see depict scenes from the movie. That's pretty cool. I am wondering where you went for lunch? You passed Be Our Guest. So, it am guessing somewhere in Frontierland? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
