Last night on Jon & Kate Plus 8 they were at WDW. I think it's been my favorite show so far! I admire them for taking on WDW with 6- 3 yr. olds and 2- 7 yr. olds. Looks like Disney treated them well too!
I watched it last night! I can't imagine taking 8 kids anywhere let alone to Disney World! I really like the show, i saw their countdown to disney calender a few episodes back, so i was really hoping that they would do a disney episode.
Yes, I sav the show and I admire them for taking them on a 19 hour drive. My 3 yr old dd loves this show, its all she wants to watch. She calls it Jon and Kate plus late??????????
Yep - watched it too. Made my husband watch some of it since we are also planning an 18 hour drive to WDW this summer. I said if they can do it with 8 kids, we can do it with 3!!
I really liked that fact that they showed the kids interacting with the characters. My biggest fear is that my 3 year old twins will be terrified of Mickey and Minnie.
I watched it as well and i was laughing and crying thru the whole thing. it reminds me of our annual trip to florida . we drive 18 hours every year to go visit my mom in port st lucie and they did awesome with 8 kids. i had to laugh at kate though when she would not let the kids on the floor in the hotel with out shoes and when the one daughter spilled ice cream and she told jon that she is ruined lol. I so love this show. it reminds me alot of my household and me and my b/f even though we only have 2 here at home.
Shoot, I missed it! :( I love this show. I sit and watch in amazement at how they keep it all together!! Kate is one organized girl. But with that many kids I guess you have to be.
I will be watching for re-runs.
i love this show..but i never manage to catch it when it airs..im always watching repeats..
and i remember them talking about WDW and there countdown..and was wondering about a disney episode also..im so glad to know that there is one..hopefully i can catch on repeat this weekend or something!! :mickey:
I was waiting for this one to come on.I end up watching the repeats every time.Does anybody know when the repeat comes on?I know they are on TLC all the time.DId they stayt on-site or off?I want to watch this episode.
They stayed at WL. They had 3 girls (friends of the family) meet them there to help out. When they got to their room on the table were Mickey ears for all (yes they had their names on them) and a note from Mickey himself!
I watched it. I had seen the countdown in an episode awhile back so I've been waiting anxiously for this episode. I was a little disappointed with the fact that over 1/2 the episode was about planning the trip/getting there. I also wanted more footage at the parks and they only showed them at Magic Kingdom. I'm just amazed how they managed to pull it off with 8 kids 7 and under.
I'm not seeing it again on the TLC website. I'll do some more digging though.
Hey folks, so many of you mention that you knew this episode was coming up. Would you mind letting me know if you are aware of upcoming "Disney" tv so I can include these shows in the weekly thread? Thank you so much! :notworth:
I am not familiar with this show. What is it about, what station is it on, etc.
Also, as for kids being scared of the characters I have a few tips on that. My wife owns a costume store and rents large mascot type costumes as well as Halloween type of costumes. We have learned from watching children and talking to parents that how the parents handle the situation has a lot to do with how the kids handle it. Granted, even if you do everything right your kids may still freak out but not normally.
Here are our tips;
1. Don't make a huge deal out of meeting the characters before you go or while you are there. The tremendous anticipation that builds up in a child when the parent builds up the meeting often translates into fear when the child actually comes face to face with the character.
2. Do try to expose your children to as many costumed characters as you can before you go. This is a great time of year because you have a great chance to do this with Santa Claus.
3. When you actually meet the character don't rush up and make a huge fuss over the character. Instead, stay with your child and talk in as normal a tone of voice as possible.
4. Most characters who are capable of doing so will go down on one knee to greet very small children, you should do the same thing so that you, the character, and your child are all on about the same level.
5. If your child is reluctant but not throwing a fit speak to them in a normal tone of voice and ask them to touch the characters hand with you. Then when the child is touching the character slowly remove your own hand.
6. If your child does freak don't continue to waste your time or the character's time trying to force the child on the character. Also don't berate the child or make them feel bad for freaking out.
Good Luck!
If you havent seen it yet it will be on the Discovery channel next tues nite at 10pm.
I just can't figure out how Kate stays so centered and patient! I love this show.
Mickey Ears off to John & Kate!!!:mickey:
Totally addicted to this show, so it was very fun to see them at WDW. Those kids are so cute and so well behaved. I think Jon and Kate are two very amazing, funny and patient people.
They usually air Jon and Kate plus 8 marathons Sundays on TLC.
I saw the previews for this (even though I don't watch it) and wondered if anyone on Intercot saw them in the parks while they were there.
I always turn on TLC if I can't find anything else to watch but Jon and Kate Plus 8 is my favorite show on the channel. However, I watched it late one night and only stayed awake up to the part where they all got their mickey ears. I'm also amazed at how they manage 8 children- it baffles me! :mickey:
I just finished watching this show. I love Jon and Kate, I don't know how they do it!! The thought of taking 8 kids to WDW scares me, but they pulled it off well!! I'm glad they got to do it! :mickey: I laughed when Jon was making fun of Kate for overreacting at the ice cream incident!
