Brett, Jo & Marceline's 'Forget Everything We Know' Adventure - Day 12: Marceline's First Big Bite

[pretty71]

Wow a busy day and Marceline did well for being a bit under the weather. I LOVE the carousel ride it is one of my fav's! Love the bargins too.

More car seat drama! Makes you realise just how much you take hopping in a cab (and not having to cope with stinky businesses….often) for granted when there’s only two of you.

That is a massively successful shopping trip. I’m hoping to be let loose on the malls this year. Not entirely sure Mr Poopybutthole will be coming home with us though – and no I don’t mean Andy, despite my comment above.

Look at all of you in your ear hoodies. Love!

People that walk in front of your photopasses – just no need! It’s pretty obvious you guys were having a photo done, not standing in formation and smiling just for the hell of it. Arrrrggghhhh.

Ditto your Carousel of No Progress experience – I can feel the wrath. There’s something about the Magic Kingdom in particular that turns people into inconsiderate buffoons. I liken to when you pull into a motorway service station and there are people just meandering all over the place, in the roads, across parking spaces. Idiots.

Aaaand even more idiots at Epcot. SO hard when you’re going against the tide. My pet peeve is people staring at their phones whilst wobbling all over the place - so unpredictable. Epcot does look beautiful all lit up at night though.

How was the sushi at the Katsura Grill? Worth a stop?
We’ve never been to the bakery in France – knowing his fondness for all things like that, I don’t think I’d ever get Andy out of there.

Thanks for sharing x

Indeed it was... but that's the only way me and Jo know how to do Disney! She really did. She adapted really well while we were away.

Ha... that's literally what I just said in my previous comment. We couldnt have wished for her to be better..

Yeah she did. only showed signs of not being 100% when we got back to the room (bless her)

Thank you.
I dont know... but i think its like that at all the parks. If you walk around frontrierland or round by the Little mermaid attraction is quite dimly lit. But i'll be honest, I quite like it!

Thank you. We could make that 'ears hoodie picture' a new Harding family tradition. haha.. surely they wont take 'that much' encouragement? everyone loves a hoodie with ears... dont they?

I can't believe that line at Guest Relations, just sad. Yes, your evening has been soured by a power cut, is it going to get any better wasting more time in that line!? Just get over it, you're in Disney!

See more...

Thanks.
People act like their whole trip has been ruined if an attraction goes down and they dont get to ride it... so I can only imagine how they felt with a power outage in half of the park!

Loving this report, so different to the others but brilliant all the same

Exactly. No plans should be set in stone when you're doing parks with a 9 month old. Gotta roll with the punches.
Thanks. I look back on my reports and each one if different from the last. The next one will be 'interesting' as Marceline's already very different from when we were there in January, and will have changed even more so by the time we go back in November.

Thank you. She is indeed. She's got her parents stamina when it comes to spending time in the parks!

They really are like little sponges! And yeah, she did.
We love Epcot late at night during EMH's. I think its even more photogenic.

Excellent day of fairly relaxed shopping then not 1 but 2 parks!

Oh im still full of rants... Bit its a bit hypocritical to rant about parents and their kids when im now one of the masses! They have to do something exceptional to awaken the ranting monster inside of me hahaha.

We love Epcot at night too. hahaha... hey im not here to judge (you weirdo! hahaha... kidding)

Its now the end of August, and 'goose eating' is the only way we know how to eat these days!
We cant wait for that November trip. It'll be a way more interactive experience for Marceline... and we're really looking forward to that.

After years of shopping at those malls... we know how to shop!
Thanks... we like her in yellow too.

See more...

Thank you.
And thank you for the concern over the recalled Minnie hoodie. Thankfully, it was a slightly different version to the one we bought.

That daughter of yours is adorable!

I hope you didnt strain your eyes reading to catch up so quickly.. hahaha. Thank you... she is quite a cutie.

I so love World Showcase at night, so many gorgeous photos Thanks as always for sharing!

See more...

So do we! especially when its a store who's clothes we've bought before and really loved!
WS (in my opinion) is better at night.
Thanks Lisa... glad youre enjoying it.

BARGAINS BARGAINS BARGAINS!

Love her learning a new eating technique <3

Lovely nighttime Epcot pictures And looks like yummy food too.

That mural looks so cool!

TFS you lovely pair

Nips xx

See more...

Thankfully she was. Oh wait... is that a spoiler? (I guess not because youve already read the rest of the TR!)
Gotta say we were chuffed when she grabbed Jo's hand and fed herself the sandwich. Now we cant have anything without her wanting some!

Marceline does so well lasting all day and into the evening, she's such a happy little thing. I hope we get a happy baby, albeit she'll be younger than Marceline when we take her in November but hopefully she won't give us too much trouble!

See more...

When that woman walked in front of us as we were about to have our photo taken, I nearly forgot where I was swore at her! Thankfully I caught myself in the nick of time!
TBH... at this young age, theyre nothing more than item youre carrying around with you the whole time. I know it sounds bad calling your own flesh and blood an 'item'... but you'll see what I mean when youre there. (And i'll keep my fingers crossed for you that your child is nice and chilled)

Thanks for sharing another great day!

See more...

We've actually had that size when we had Strawberry Acai or Very Berry Hibiscus! They are HUUUUUUUUGE and tool us a while to finish them.

Love the paint by numbers murial & the tea cup photo was really clever.

Looking forward to tomorrow

See more...

Indeed she is. She's already earned her Team Harding Disney park credentials.
Im still curious as to what they did with the mural once it was finished?

Absolutely love the look on your faces when that daft woman ruins your photo! Why can't people be aware of their surroundings?!

Marceline did well to stay up so late and love the end of night ride on Spaceship Earth too!

Thanks for sharing x

See more...

VERY successful. One of our best.
hahaha... I very nearly let out a swear at that women, but just managed to keep it in.

Spaceship Earth is the perfect way to finish a night at Epcot... especially during EMH so its virtually empty!

People that walk in front of your photopasses – just no need! It’s pretty obvious you guys were having a photo done, not standing in formation and smiling just for the hell of it. Arrrrggghhhh.

How was the sushi at the Katsura Grill? Worth a stop?
We’ve never been to the bakery in France – knowing his fondness for all things like that, I don’t think I’d ever get Andy out of there.

We were surprised how much of an issue getting a cab with a baby seat was. So yeah... you dont really think about it when its just 2 of you.
No trip to Florida is complete without rinsing your credit card at the malls!
Oh man... that Photopass bomber deserved a good old fashioned judo chop to the back of her neck. I know it was dark round there... BUT COME ON!
You would think getting on a carousel would be simple... especially when Its pretty much a walk on. But no... even then 'idiots' cant do it properly.
Please dont get me started on people bogging at their phones and not where theyre going. What gets me is those people who walk into you and then give YOU the stink eye... like its your fault for not moving out of their way!
Meh... KG was ok. Nothing amazing... but it filled a hole.
Take Andy to the bakery for his birthday and let him get 1 of everything!

[Stewboy]

Another great day Hardings, even taking into account the large amount of wombles your encountered today!

And Why is it so difficult for them to understand your child seat requests?

Ah, socks. I forgot how much you like socks!

Sounds like a very successful shop, we've not managed one of those at the malls for a few years now.

Ah, the old afternoon 'nap' eh?

Good day all round really. Yay for Mouse Gear as usual!
