No Pants at CP? Never Fear-Escalator Boy is Here! 10/9-After WDW, Come to NM!

Saturday, June 9th...



So, the night before we had made plans. Plans people...we're good at plans...:thumbsup2

Tera stuffed all my crap into 1 1/2 suitcases...I even had extra room for souvenieres...(remember this later on)...we were totally 100% packed. All we needed to do was get our booties outta bed...showah so as not to scare the locals on the plane...and we would be off to Dallas (a 2 hour drive from Tera's house). The ORIGINAL-style plan was to leave the house about 11:00 and get to the airport about 2 hours before our flight at 3:30 or so.



But...we were a titch bit excited! :hyper:

We woke up at 7:30 in the AM...and were out of the house an entire hour early! By 10:00 AM!

Now...I had traveled to Tera's house from New Mexico on the 6th. So, we just had the drive to Dallas! :woohoo:

We got about 30 minutes outta town and we realized we had forgotten something very very important! (Dam was driving...so 30 minutes outta town meant like 45 miles away) The ding dang stroller still sat in the trunk of Tera's car back at the house! We made an executive decision then and there that we would acquire a stroller elsewhere! Then...out of nowhere...a Wal-mart appeared on the horizon. *cue angels singing here* We pull to the side...throw Tera out of the car...and make her run into the Wally World where she promptly acquires the only stroller in the store...Diego and baby Jaguar. If you have kids you know who I am speaking of! ;) (Ermmmmmm...is it illegal to use Nickelodeon propaganda whilst at Disney??)

Anywho...we're back on the road and we get to the parking garage...then they get us to the airport...get this...almost 3 hours early! :rotfl2: Thus begins the Damian eye rolling! :laughing: We get our boarding passes in record time and are going through security. We have shed all required clothing and I shove Jon's carry-on through the conveyor belt...when I hear this:




BAG CHECK!!!!!!! :sad2: :scared:


Up Next: Will We Get the Magic We Need?-Part Deux! Page 2, Post 24.
 
Whoo-hooty!!!! Put on your cowboy hat Tracy...the stuff will be flyin soon!!! ;)



Sharky...it just wouldn't have been the same without you! :rotfl:



:rotfl2: Gimme a sec peoples...I am on serious sleep-deprivation! I can't sleep I am so exhausted from our vacation! Does this happen to others?? :confused3

:sad2: there are no secs when we have been told of FOUR dreams!!!!

we want the whole trip... EVER DETAIL... TONIGHT! jk jk ;)

take your time, get some rest... we will be impatiently waiting.. getting fat on popcorn. popcorn:: :3dglasses
 
Anywho...so apparently I had overlooked the fact that I had packed Jon's toiletries in his carryon bag! :scared1: So...when they went though the little x-ray machino thingamabob...they sent off all kindsa sensors and I was escorted away so as to make sure I was not plotting evil. The little airport lady...who I have the utmost respect for her and her job...was obviously having some PMS. And...in an evil "Mary Poppins" sing-song voice...she informed me that all of the crap I had just purchased for the trip was...and I'm quoting:


"Not going! Not going! Not going! Not going!"---exactly like that...:rolleyes:

Whatevah...we'll buy new junk...so we roll on though security with a few less pounds of baggage and get to our gate...2 1/2 hours early! :rotfl:

We hit up the McD's and pop a squat. We play...we visit the Dallas Cowboys store...and we are giggling giddily! The plane is delayed about 20 minutes...they obviously were not taking into account our excitement! :rolleyes1 We finally take off about 4:00 PM.



2 1/2 hours later...we land in Orlando baybee! :yay: :dance3: :yay: :dance3: :yay:

We landed about 7:30 PM. We jet on over to ME---and we get through the line in less than 10 minutes!!! It was fabulous!

We get in line for ASMusic ME transport and we are off!!!

Here are the kiddos on ME!

You have to understand our kids...they were excited as soon as we landed and got on ME! They thought it was the first ride...


We were talking to them on the ride over to ASMu and Kaia says this:


"Once upon a day is for me now!" :sad1: (chokes me up even now)

So, then I turn to my own little angel and say: "Hey, Jon, what are you looking forward to most?"

Jon says this: "Watching Kaia meet Mickey Mouse!" :sad1: Gotta love that unselfish attitude...don't know where it came from...but I love it! :rolleyes1

So, we finally get over to the resort about 9:00 or so and get right though the check-in line! We walk straight up to our magical CM---Colin! (I sooo wish I would have taken this dolls photo!)

Now...we had requested several times a 1st floor room! We were staying in the family suites and had requested a 1st floor room for a reason! Jon and Kaia both have a hard time with stairs---especially Jon. Climbing them isn't as difficult as it used to be...but he fatigues...and climbing them over and over is not something I view as fun for him or me! Yes...there are elevators...but trust me...1st floor was what we needed!

Anywho...so Colin is checking us in and I inquire about our room...making sure it's 1st floor! Colin gets this sorta freaked out look on his face! :sad2: I get a freaked out look on my face! And I politely explain to Colin why it is soooo important! He looks in the computer...he looks some more...and then he excuses himself. This does not look good at all! :scared:

:rotfl2: Did you forget to put them in ziploc bags or were they just too large??

Nice cliffhanger....had to leave us hanging didn;t ya?

At least I have my ladder to lean on while I wait, you know down in the gutter, where I am most of the time......:rotfl:

I have been trying to stay out of there, as I don't need any more infractions...;)
 
Sharky...you are sooooo funny! I had everything in ziploc bags that I remembered...except his toiletries...which were toooooooo big to go! So no shampoo, body wash...and get this...toothpaste counts as a liquid! So no toothpaste either! She also made me store the playdo in the ziploc bag too!



sing it with me now!

"Not going! Not going! Not going! Not going!"
 
Not Going...Not Going...Not Going...:rolleyes1 :rolleyes1 :rolleyes1


Does Kaia still use a sippy cup or is she past that phase?

I was wondering if Tera had a hard time getting on with that?

there was just a big story about a lady who was accosted by security because her daughter had a sippy cup with water in it and they said the lady dumped it on the floor in purporse when they told her she had to get rid of it...:rotfl:
 
I'm here, I'm here can't wait to hear all about it :hyper: BTW it was good to see what you 2 looked like and I'm not sure how you're going to take this but you look so much younger than I imagined :rotfl2:
 
Bout time....Sheesh. I can't believe you didn't start writing as soon as you walked in the door. Yeah, like luandy or stuff is important;)
