Sounds like a great afternoon! It's so nice that DD is showing her enthusiasm for rides! You two look so cute on the tea cups
I'm sure it was nice to get out of the park early and away from the heat! I still haven't had Cracker Barrel yet...one day hopefully!
I loved that she was so happy on the rides. I'm glad I got to share those memories with her, because she wasn't quite so happy about everything in October, unfortunately.
We have been in Octobers where the heat was bad, but May felt magnified. Maybe the humidity was worse? I don't know, but we felt way more drained than we usually do. It was tough to cut our day short so early considering we only had precious little time, but it was the best decision for that day.
I don't know why but I just LOVE Cracker Barrel! It's that homestyle southern cooking I really love.
How sweet that DD was showing an interest in Peter Pan's Flight.
You can always tell how busy the MK is by whether or not there's a line for the PeopleMover!
Yum, a Dole Whip on a hot day is the perfect way to cool down.
I don't blame you for leaving at 2:30. That sun can drain the best. And at least that way DS got to swim in the pool for awhile. What kid alive doesn't think that's fun?
I used to live near a Cracker Barrel and there chicken salads were actually really, really good. It was my go-to place when I wanted a big salad for lunch. So you won't hear any judgement on my part for dining there for dinner. And how nice that DD could sit in the highchair. That makes life so much easier. At least until they insist on "feeding themselves with real food" and the big messes begin.
It was so sweet to see her enjoy herself so much!
Yeah, the presence or absence of a People Mover is a good indicator of how busy the park is. Not surprising considering it was Memorial Day weekend, but we'd had pretty decent luck so far.
You said it, sister!!
DS hardly ever gets pool time because we are always so go go go on our trips, so despite being disappointed at cutting our day short on an already short trip, I think he really appreciated the pool time. I'm glad that now that DD is older, we can ALL join in on pool time on future trips!
I love Cracker Barrel! And I hardly ever get to go, so it was perfect that it was right there next to our resort. A perfect choice, so we could justify getting dressed and going out to dinner without having to worry about getting back late. At that point, DD was content with snacks as she had really just ventured into finger foods. October was a little more difficult, but I know our next trip is going to be a real doozy at mealtimes. That girl likes to EAT. I don't think we can get away with her and DS sharing meals on our trip to
Disneyland in a few months. She is going to demand full meals!
Despite the heat and crowds it sounds like you guys had a really fun day at MK! Nice that she took some good naps in the carrier. Love all the photos, esp on Barnstormer and Tea Cups - I have a soft spot for the Tea Cups after a magical experience there this trip! <3
So sweet that she loved Peter Pan so much, and funny about her teeth! I'm surprised she has so many - Maya is almost 13 months old (4 more days, wow) and has the same 6 she's had for a few months (4 up top that we rarely see since her lip covers them, and then the 2 cute ones on bottom). I don't think I've noticed any others about to pop through!
We definitely did, even though the heat was really getting to us. Probably me even moreso because I was almost always wearing DD. Although I won't miss the extra heat and weight of carrying her on future trips (she is just too big for the whole "toddler wearing" thing), I will miss those good carrier naps and being able to still ride stuff while she slept!
When DS turned a year old, he had 2 teeth. 2! By the time DD made a year, she had (still has) 14!! Her first two sprouted when she was 5 months old. We had many many miserable days and nights after that as she always seemed to get no less than 2 at a time, sometimes as many as 4 at a time! But I guess it was better in a way because although it sucked at the time, she seems like she's done for now, at least for awhile. I need to get her to the dentist!! I didn't add her to my dental insurance because I figured by the time she made a year, she'd have a few and it wouldn't be a big deal to wait to add her until 2017 because it would just be a few more months. I never would have thought she'd already have a mouthful!
