[ILMICKEY]

I'm here!!

[DISNEY4XMAS]

If you have read my pre-trippie you know as the closer my day of departure came closer the more freaked out I got, everything was going wrong. From the Kids shoes not fitting and having to hope and pray that Zappos shipped them in time to having second child try on shoes on thursday night and Her shoes not fitting and then not having the same shoe in her HUGE size (she is 13 and wheres an 10.5). I called in tears they worked with us and had another pair of shoes to us the next afternoon. I must say that they are a GREAT company! Oh did I mention that my shoes were to small too? I had to run back to Plattsburgh(20 miles away) to get another pair! While I was there I finished up some last minute shopping for the trip! My DH snuck around and bought me a NEW camera! :cool1: back home to FINISH PACKING.
I finally finish and decide I need to bring Cat to my SIL and then off to pick up DM. It is now 4:30pm and we can FINALLY hit the road. We take the ferry across Lake Champlain calm seas for us! We head to the Hotel... They gave me problems earlier when I tried to book the room because there was 6 of us and the room is supposed to be for 4. I lied at check in I said there were four of us! Now it is getting closer to 7:30 we still hadn't eaten dinner! Off to OUTBACK MMmmm I can taste the Blooming onion. Finally out come our meals.. The waiter says that he is short one meal and will be right back with it! FIVE MINUTES go by DH still hasn't gotten his meal. TEN minutes later the manager comes over and asked if he could get him a soup or salad while his burger is cooked! OOOPS They forgot all about it. DH says No thanks but I will have another Beer. Five Minutes later, the waitress who has ignored us finally brings over the beer. Now we are all done our meals and FINALLY DH burger comes out. The Bill comes and they never even took off the price of his meal or gave him a free beer. So for the trip I left them a Tip I told them that it was the worst service I have ever had! To get a new wait staff and manager! We left and headed back to Hotel. Dh took Kids swimming and DM and I scoped out the airport. We checked in and found some of the TSA guys and asked them a few questions about the SANTA:santa: gifts and DS diabetic supplies. I wanted EVERYTHING to run as smooth as possible. It was now 11:00pm and we finally hit the beds three to a bed not the most comfortable sleep I have ever had!
I think I caught fourty winks ;) . I got up at 2:45 and found my DM already up and dressed. It wasn't long that Everyone was up. We got dressed and headed out I dropped off DH & DS7 at airport and head back to hotel to catch shuttle. We wanted to leave at 4:00 and Hotel said NO 4:15. Dm said fine what is 15 mins and we would probably leave early anyhow. NOPE Driver was not moving till his watch said 4:15am. and not a moment sooner. At 4:15 he promply got up started the van and said lets go... Leaving me & DM to load the luggage! He never said two words to us as he drove us the the airport. I was starting to think this trip was going to be a BUST!:scared1:
finally get through line and check luggage and head for TSA!! Nerves were finally shot now stomach was all upset, I was broken out all over my face and neck with PIMPLES! All for NOTHING! TSA went SMOOTH I noted that there were diabetic supplies in this bag and that bag, I emptied out all electronics and DM asked for a fragile box ( that has a cover) for the Santa gifts! Not a Problem.
We have about 45 mins before we load the plane to DC. I need to feed the Kids! HHHMMMM not much of a selection. I think they have doughnuts and soda! What a HEALTHY MEAL!:eek:
I will end here for tonight (morning) and I will continue Later tomorrow~

[ILMICKEY]

You sound like you were a wreck!!

I don't believe I would have tipped either. But I would have asked to see the manager. Outback is Waaaay toooo expensive to have to take that crap. You handled yourself very nicely.

Great Update. Can't wait for more!!

[earthfaries]

:goodvibes Hi. I'm in! Sounds like a stressful start so far:sad2: Hopefully everything will go smooth from there on:thumbsup2
Can't wait to read more!

Here is the Family enjoy the WONDERFUL:lmao: breakfast at the Burlington, VT Airport!
This is the Only Picture I have of them before we left Due to the fact that my husband wouldn't let me put in an SD card into my camera that he had just bought for me because the sales person told him it might ruin the camera!

So our flights went well. We had just enough time to walk and shuttle to our other gate and get on the plan and then we would soon taxi out!
FINALLY :banana: :banana: :cool1: We are in ORLANDO! I was so excited that I did shed tears. I was very worried that something bad was goingto happen and we would not make it for our christmas vacation.I don't think that we could run any fast off the plane and look for the DME! Finally get directions and what did we find??? A HUGE HUGE line I meant to say EXTREMELY HUGE! :scared1: The cast members where great that were in line trying to answer questions and asked that only one family member stand in line boy that cut the line down. So I wandered over to my family leaving DM in line!

I was all excited that we where going to ride in a bus that said WALT DISNEY WORLD. DM finally makes it back after an hour. We are on our Way:cool1:
There was a great cast mmember there asking disney trivia while we waited for our bus! OH NO WE got a MEARS bus! NO DME bus:confused3 . Our Driver was really nice his name was BOBBY. Tyler and I sat in the FRONT SEAT so we could look for the welcome sign. Bobby over heard me tell Tyler to look for it so after what seemed forever I heard the visors going up and I got the camera ready. Bobby said get your camera ready! I was like it already is!

[DISNEY4XMAS]

After four stops on the DME we FINALLY made it to our home
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/Disney%2007%20first%202%20days/DsineyXMAStrip07015.jpgDm and I went to check in and left DH with Kids outside. It was a cool 67` out so we felt comfortable in our jackets. Here are the kids outside of the outpost.

The kids were very interested in the carts coming and going from the out post as other people checked in. Here was one that they liked.

We wasted NO time we got to the cabin #2301. Shawnee Bend! We quickly unpacked our carry-ons and my box that got sent down. We ran for the bus stop and headed for the boat to take us to our dreams the MAGIC KINGDOM!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/Disney%2007%20first%202%20days/DsineyXMAStrip07019.jpg I did see a lot of people wearing Lime green but I was to afraid to ask. I did ask one family there were over 20 of them in the LIME but they did it so they would stand out!
of course we were all looking to see what and who could spot things first like SPACE MOUNTAIN

We can see the dock... OH NO Zac says he feels low, we need to find a place to eat.... by pass the photo ops No savoring the site of the castle from top of main st. Just scouting for a place to eat that would be quick to get FOOD. Casey's would be the first place we find. Dm and I stand in to different lines, to see what one would go quicker. Dm line moved fast so I pop out of mine and we tell them it is the dining plan and they say OK lg drinks and dessert and full meals quick easy. DH is with kids at a table guarding it with his life. Zac's blood sugar was at a great low number 54! Juice and food .

DH DM DS7 & I all had hot dogs and lg cokes and Brownies mmmmm good! DD & DS5 had the corn dog nuggets lg cokes and brownies. DD didn't like the brownie.. thought it was to bitter!:confused: :confused: :confused3 .
Off to the ride we missed last time the HAUNTED MANSION.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/Disney%2007%20first%202%20days/DsineyXMAStrip07030.jpg
We did not mind the fifty minute wait because we were in DISNEY
Ty DS5 seemed not to like the sound effects as we were going in.. should have turned him around then! Ghost carts only fit two comfortably so we split into two's DM & DD, Me & DS7 and DH & DS5. Everyone thought the ride was fine.... except for DS5. Tyler didn't like that ride he cried and cried throughout the ride. Ok we won't do that one again, this trip.
OFF to a slower ride more his speed. IT"S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL IT'S A SMALL SMALL WORLD! Sing it with me yes I know you are! You all can thank me later for putting that song back in your heads!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/Disney%2007%20first%202%20days/DsineyXMAStrip07044.jpg boy is the head in front of me PALE! Oh that is my DH! No wonder he is pale, he is from the north country.

We enjoyed so really good food and had our first real Character expirence for this trip! Tyler didn't go good on his word that he would hug the characters. He sat in the corner the most furthest away and hide when they showed up to the table. But here are the rest of us LOVING IT!

So we jumped back on monrail and went back to MK. Incredible on how busy MAIN ST. can get and with fire works coming soon we had a hard time getting down it. Finally we make it to tomorrowland and there isn't a line for stitches great escape so we go to that... The ride was boring and the whole time I sat there wondering when my seat was going to flip I was strapped in right that meant I was going upside down NOT!! All 6 of agreed that ride would be the worst ride of MK. Next off to Space mountain.. Still 40 mins to fastpasses but there isn't a line or the line isn't as long as it had been. So we venture in 20 mins not bad. But we were all so tired. Finally we get there DM DS7 & DD13 one cart and DH DS5 and I on the other. I laugh hysterically on all the rides I think it is a nervous thing! I laughed so loud that my DD13 said she could hear me. I always remember it being really really dark in there. I was on the light side because I could see the turns coming and it wasn't as thrilling for me but the kids LOVED IT. Even Linus who cried through out the Haunted Mansion Love space mountain. We found a party of 6 standing at the end of the line (they had a 50 minute wait and we gave then our fastpasses, so they only had to wait about 10 mins before they could get in line for the fastpass line. I was glad to make somes day!

So the kids decided that they wanted to ride spaceship earth!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/Disney%2007%20first%202%20days/th_SUNP0022.jpg (http://s210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/Disney%2007%20first%202%20days/?action=view&current=SUNP0022.flv)
Not my favorite ride so I told Dh to bring them on and DM and I would go get Fastpass for TEST TRACK! We would meet them in spaceship earth where they would exit! Our cell phones came in handy here! I told Dh to call right before he got on ride so we knew we had enough time to get back there! Dm and I ran to test track and got Fastpasses. We saw a PHOTOPASS person and decided to have a photo op just ME & MOM!!!!

Dh calls and says he is just getting on ride so we walk back to Spaceship Earth. We are there to take Pictures as they walk off

We decided to go eat Lunch I thought it would be nice to eat in one of the countries so Of course our first country was England! We ate at the Yorkshire county fish shoppe. We all had FISH & CHIPS except for LUCY she had just chips!

Up next to Living seas with Nemo and friends! But first we stopped to get a cool treat as it was a warm day, I must say that we had PERFECT WEATHER the WHOLE TRIP!!!!!

[KatGarcia]

[DISNEY4XMAS]

I promise an updated tomorrow... Stay tuned

[ILMICKEY]

I''m here, I'm here!!!

I can't wait to do Chef Mickeys when I go with my daughter. It looks like fun. Your picture turned out great. It's really too bad they don't put those on the Photopass too!

Why didn't you want to go into the Spaceship Earth??

That is such a nice pic of you and your mom. I'll bet it was great to have a few minutes of peace and quiet.

I am SOOOOO getting those fish and chips when I go. YUMMY!!!

Your husbands face on Test Track cracks me up!! Don't you just love going through all those brand new cars and dreaming?? Ahhhhh the smell of new cars.

Yaaaaay, another Stitch ride non-lover. Geez, if little kids think it's stupid, then why on earth not get rid of it. What a waste of space!!!

I love your report!! Keep it coming!

I love your report!! Keep it coming!

When are you going back to Disney I know I read it in your trip report just and having a brain fart! :lmao: How old is your daughter?

Spaceship Earth I rode it the last time we went in "01" and I really thought it was boring! From reading the boards I have learned that it has been updated, but I still don't think I will like it.. The kids well lucy and linus thought it was boring infact linus cried through out the ride. Zac Loved it! he is my child who is really into science.

Yes it was a great pic with DM! There aren't to many of them because one of us is always taking the Picture. As for the peace and quiet of having NO kids around was great! I just makes me want to go again WITHOUT KIDS. Infact I kept saying to DM isn't this great no whining no fighting no yelling No pouting. You would think being in the happiest place on Earth that my kids would be happy NOT

MMMMM FISH AND CHIPS!!! they even serve BEER there in PINTS! Our family used to own a take out fish shop in MA so I was being critical of their food but it was AWSOME! But it is VERY hard to get a table there! I was in line and DH was ready to pounce on a table it someone started putting things on a tray to clean up!
Dh was great throughout the whole trip He even talks about going back this year! and wants to take kids friends:scared1: Like we don't have enough of our own!
Yeah Didn't like the stitch ride ! It was boring I hadn't been on the alien invasion ride but heard that was a lot better!
Thanks for coming back to read! Going to update NOW![/SIZE]

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So even though wwe had just finished lunch the kids were hot and still hungry so we decided to use our first snack credits! I didn't know why we were saving them?? but we all got an Ice cream of some sort. DH and I got a Mickey bar, Kids got a twirly thingy (that is the technical name:lmao: ) I think ty got a cruch bar and I forgot what DM had. So we walked towards nemo and friends and sat outside and ate them.

I also was amazed on the amount of people that were in line for the ride
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/Disney%2007%20first%202%20days/DsineyXMAStrip07264.jpg

This was my favorite part of this ride the JELLIES

Now we have moved over to Talk Turtle With Crush we had just missed the show and we were told that it would be 20 mins and we himmd and hawd and decided to sit and wait for the next show. the kids enjoyed watching the Rays

My normally out going kids did not make a fuss about trying to get picked to talk to Crush. I was really shock! Normally my kids are the ones jumping up and down to do something to do anything! So I left bumbed that Crush didn't talk to MY KIDS!
UP NEXT DINNER AT BOATWRIGHTS @ PORT ORLEANS.

[ILMICKEY]

My daughter turns 21 September 9 and I turn for~cough~ty in December. So we are going for our milestone birthdays. We leave Oct. 31 and come back the 8th. We haven't ever been real close so this will be good for us. Though she has all these plans for drinking and partying. Thank god she has friends down there. It will be a good time for me to go to World Showcase and explore. I have ALWAYS wanted to do this.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So now we are leaving Talk Turtle with Crush and it is 3:45 and we have dinner ressy's for 5:00 and I had to be the bearer of Bad new and say it was time to leave! So we found the bus stop for Port Orleans and we waited only a few minutes So we got a outside tour of Port Orleans French Quarter (I want to stay here someday just because of the pool!) Finally we arrive at Port Orleans and head in but it is only 4:30 so we wander around the gift shop! The kids were picking out all these toys and Dh was picking out all these sweat shirts and t-shirt DM & I were looking at the scrapebooking things. I said OK time to go check in for dinner. (I was the BOSS on this trip I said when and where and everyone did what I said it was a nice change!) They said it would be a few minutes and gave us a beeper and we went and sat on the porch I didn't take any pictures but it was quite beautiful I just wished that we could have roamed around a little more. Only 10 minutes later we are seated. We had a HUGE round table in the back and not to many families in the room almost like private dining!
So this is what we had for dinner:
DH started off with Seafood cocktail then had Prime Rib and then Chocolate Cake and had a Strawberry Milkshake.
Zachary &Tyler had Kids Meal pizza and Sundae and strawberry and chocolate milkshakes
Samantha had the House salad and Grilled Pork chops and the dessert special I don't remember what it was. and a glass of milk.
I had the House salad Prime rib and chocolate cake and a soda.
Dm had the seafood cocktail Prime rib and pecan pie and a vanilla shake. I loved having the ddp because our meal would have cost us $219.63. It cost us NOTHING!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/Disney%2007%20first%202%20days/DsineyXMAStrip07289.jpg

Yes that is Zac my DIABETIC WITH A MILK SHAKE! WITH ALL THE CHOCOLATE! This was DISNEY afterall I couldn't deny him EVERTHING! For the most part his blood sugar stayed only normal numbers for breakfast and a lunch number * we ate breakfast in the cabin* Other than that his numbers were in total kaosis.
Now we had planned to go back to Epcot but we hung out in Fultons general store for a while longer while the kids picked out some toys that would either be lost or broken or would magically disappear. I found a watch that I just had to have but Dh was being GRUMPY and said that I couldn't get it! (Like I said I was the boss here and I did get it just not that night) Here is a shot of Port Orleans Riverside at night
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/Disney%2007%20first%202%20days/DsineyXMAStrip07293.jpg
As we waited and waited for the bus I was getting Chilled and said we needed to go back to our cabin and get our coats! So we waited and waited for a bus I think we waited close to an hour. Finally we get back to Fort wilderness and we decided to split up and meet back at cabin. Dm went to the store to get eggs and bread and milk for the am and I went looking for my Purchases that I had shipped back from Epcot that day. OOOPS someone forgot to tell me that they wouldn't be there till the next day! It took about an hour for me to find where the packages where held and then to get back to the cabin. No buses that night it seemed. By the time I got back to the cabin everyone was already in their PJ's and it had been decided that they were staying put for the night. It was now 9pm. We wouldn't make it back in time to see Illuminations anyhow so I said FINE!

I did manage to take a picture of the cabin with our little christmas tree lit up and the porch they didn't come out that great but here is a shot of them

I just found your pre-trippie and linked to this trip report. Very entertaining. I have a feeling I am going to be like you. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Disney. We went in Sept 05 for DD's 3rd bday and then in Sept last year for her 5th bday. And now we are going back in Dec. I am so looking forward to seeing all the christmas stuff!! I never got to go as a child, so I am living through my daughter I think!! LOL
And I completely agree about stitch. In fact when we were there in Sept, everytime we went near it my daughter would start saying "We are NOT going on that ride again, that is GROSS" And we were all in agreement with that!! Look forward to you finishing the trip report!!:thumbsup2

I Think I like you already you are reading and posting to my report!:cool1:

[davishalfdoz]

I look forward to hearing more. Six of us are going this Christmas on the DDP on our first trip ever.:scared: Sounds like it worked well for you...what about the gratuity???? How did that work for you?

[DISNEY4XMAS]

I look forward to hearing more. Six of us are going this Christmas on the DDP on our first trip ever.:scared: Sounds like it worked well for you...what about the gratuity???? How did that work for you?

Thank-you for joining in! Well about the DDP we loved it but I think I over booked the sit down meals for each day and we had a lot of counter service left over. We went before you had to pay for the gratuity, so that didn't effect us. I will try to include all the prices of what it would have cost us. I think we saved all of our bills.
I am going to try to update later today!:woohoo:

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So as we last left off we decided not to head back to Epcot for the night but to turn in. Early to bed EARLY to RISE! I was up at 6 am and in the shower I had everyone up by 7 and we were ready to go by 745.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/Disney%2007%20first%202%20days/DsineyXMAStrip07302.jpg
This is the ONLY park that we made rope drop. We were all excited to make it into the park and the kiddies where told to hang on because we were going to be running. WRONG! We had to wait now for rope drop which would have been exciting but we couldn't see much! Finally they let us and and I think along with every other person we headed for the LAND for Soarin. I was constantly snapping pictures as we moved with the HERD of PEOPLE. I was surprised that most people were just getting a fastpass. The standby line was a twenty min wait so we waited. Here are a few shots of us and the LAND while we came in.

I was truley amazed on how beautiful this building was. This is the first time that we had been in there.

The line for soarin went fast. as we lined up for our seats there was a great family from England in front of us we had a nice talk to them. I think there were a few of them that had birthdays so of course we wished them a Happy Birthday! I just love hearing folks from England talk, especially the children they are so cute. I really wanted to get the front row on Soarin but we got the middle row which wasn't bad, it was perfect. Everyone really liked it! The kids thought it was awsome as we flew over the orange grove how you could smell the oranges. They talked about that the whole day!
After Soarin was finished we headed over to the Land Boat ride. I had seen pictures of it on someone elses TR so I said WE MUST DO IT! Everyone found it very interesting except the DD she thought it was boring! TEENAGERS!
Here are some pictures! You can see how bored she looks!

After this ride was done we decided that we would head to TEST TRACK AGAIN! This was everyones FAVORITE RIDE! But first DD13 wanted to do Mission space! Grandma said NO she wouldn't do it so did Dad so that Left me to ride with her! So DM DH DS7 & DS5 head for Test track and get in line 40 minute wait. DD & I go to mission space to get fastpasses. we have 90 mins before we can ride! we head for test track and DH calls and tells us to RUN because line is moving FAST! we get there and have to cut a few people to catch up and then all of a sudden the line stops! It took us 75 mins to get through the line and on the ride! This time since we knew what to expect we thought it only fair for those who sat in back to get the front this time!!! here is a pic!

Up Next Mission space, Coral reef Restaurant, World Showcase, 1900 park Fare & Illuminations

[DISNEY4XMAS]

We had about 20 mins to get from test track to Mission space before our FP expired. Sam and I ran and I sent DM DH & DS's to the Coral Reef to check in for our Ressies. Sam decided that she wanted to to the Extreme Orange mission. I wasn't to please considering that I knew that SOMEONE had died on this ride! YIKES!! It was nice that we had fastpasses because it took only about 5 minutes to go through line. Here are some of the pictures that I took!

So I lived to tell about that the ride. I did get extremely nervous when they said that they provided barf bags, which I thought I was going to actually going to have to use. My phone rings and it is DM telling me that they won't seat us till the whole party is there. Sam and I run this must have been funny looking. We finally get there and only wait another five minutes till we are seated. I was sad because we were seated on the opposite wall of the Aquarium. I was really hoping that the kids would be able to sit right next to it. Our waiter Halil was great we explained that Zac had diabetes and it would take us a few minutes to figure out what we would be having. He said he would take our drink order and give us as much time as we needed. When Zac's blood sugar goes out of whack he is subject to have meltdowns. So when he was asked what he wanted to drink he said rootbeer. I said NO because it isn't diet. He stated wailing the he was sick of diet coke because that is the ONLY DIET SODA that WDW HAS. People were now starting to stare, I said Fine give him the rootbeer and we will just give extra insulin! Halil got down on Zac's level and said Hey there buddy would you rather have a good time here or get sick and go to the hospital Zac said that he wanted to stay in WDW but he WASN'T drinking another DIET COKE!!! NOTE TO WDW: GET OTHER DIET BEVERAGES!!! So we said that it would be fine we didn't want to cause a scene in the restaurant. NOw that was over we looked at menu. Zac heard that grandma was having Loster soup and that is what he wanted so I told him these are your choice to have the loster soup... I am now praying for NO MELTDOWN. He was fine THANK GOD!
Here is Halil our wonderful waiter.

Tyler my baby is a creature of habit between 12:30 and 1:30 if given a few minutes to sit he will fall asleep and nap. It doesn't matter if it is loud light or what have you he will sleep. He ordered his Pizza and promptlly laid down on the seat.

[KatGarcia]

Nice update. I def remember liking the lobster soup myself!!!

[Phedre]

Great Trip report!! :D I'm really enjoying it :)

[CHEK]

Great report:thumbsup2 , and how lucky to be there for Christmas, I'd love to take my family for Christmas and New Year :goodvibes . Can't wait to read more.

[njdisneyfreak]

I'm finally caught up with you post-trippie! Great job! I love all the details and pics, though it's a shame it had to start out so crummy. You look like you have a terrific family. It's obvious that all of you were having a great time.

Reading your report is reminding me of our trip, so keep it coming! :cool1:

[ILMICKEY]

Oh that Chocolate wave looks sooooo yummy!! It kind of looks like an upside down cupcake with goo in the middle, is that kind of what it was??

I love your test track picture!!

Good Times!!!!

[DISNEY4XMAS]

I love your test track picture!!

Good Times!!!!

MMMM Just think of the Chocolate Wave that was the (well my whole Reason) for eating there!!! The Chocolate Wave is like a warm brownie with Hot Fudge Inside oh and there had been a piece of white chocolate placed on it all fancy but Like I said I dug into it before snapping Picture! Oh and DD was so mad that she had gotten the FRUIT CUP when she saw that come out. I had been reading the food porn and saw that and said OH YEAH HAVE TO EAT THERE! Thank god I decided not to start my diet until DISNEY trip was over! I have even waited till all the holidays were over ! I have NO self control when it comes to desserts.

Test track was one of our fav rides! The kids would have loved to have ridden it all day, Plus we are big NASCAR Fans so it was kinda like riding in a nascar car!!:laughing: Oh I forgot to post to that the first time that we rode Test Track I know I said that they were having technical difficultties but as we were outside on the track there were fire truck pulling up to the back of the building.... We didn't feel to safe on the ride at the point but heck we were at DISNEY!!!! We would have died HAPPY!

Trying to update but PHOTOOBUCKET change on how you edit pictures and now it won't let me make pics smaller to put them on message boards. I will keep trying today!

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Great Trip report!! :D I'm really enjoying it :)
Thanks for joining in! I hope you continue to enjoy!

Great report:thumbsup2 , and how lucky to be there for Christmas, I'd love to take my family for Christmas and New Year :goodvibes . Can't wait to read more.

Christmas was my DM choice, not mine I had heard it was goingto be extremely busy and We thought it was! My next time to go I would like to try March and Oct. I have been in March but that was almost 26 years ago.

Thanks for coming over!
Wait to you see how close we were on some of the days we were in the same parks. I was just showing DH you pictures of the backlot tour and told him that we needed to do that when it was just the two of us going. That will be someday! DH really really wants to go back! He just loves DISNEY:love: . Funny when the first time we went he said he didn't want to go because it was just for KIDS! But after the trip (on the flight home) all he could do was talk about going back! He did say that he liked the weather much better this past trip than the previous on which had been in late may! He would NEVER make it in July! heading over to see your pretrippie now!

I know! I keep lookinng in amazement at your pics and reading about what you were doing each day, because it is soooo close to us. I keep half-expecting to see us in the background of one of your pics. In fact, I believe you guys had the same Coral Reef waiter that we did! :laughing: That's the way my DH was after the first trip. He went for my sake, thinking it was going to be a mostly kiddie place, and ever since, he's always asking me, "So, when should we go back?" Isn't it great having DH's who love Disney as much as we do? Yeah, it's hard to beat that weather that we had. It was funny, because we expected it to be cooler, but were so glad it wasn't. Most of the time, it actually felt like summer to us, but summer at home, not Disney World summer.

I hope you enjoy my new pre-trippie! I'm loving your post-trippie, a lot. :woohoo:

[DISNEY4XMAS]

SO we are in the midst of an ice storm as long as I can keep power and cable I will be doing an update tomorrow! Unfortunatly the pictures will be on the larger size because photobucket has changed it editing ways and I can't for the life of me resize my pictures and save them to that size. So bare with me on it and hope for the best that the rain stops soon! I have have a long ride home tonight in the wonderful weather I think I would take a hurrican over this ice stuff any day!

[ILMICKEY]

Hey!! Are you coming back???? Or are you still stuck in the ice???

[DISNEY4XMAS]

OK SO HERE IS THE SCOOP!!!!

So I braved the ice storm at work and drove home in it! It took me 35 minutes to clean off my car! I drove home and worshiped the house and POWER! Roads weren't to good! DH has a upper respiratory infection and the stomach Flu! I just get to bed and the power is still going ....... DH gets up he is sick! I got to thinking it is awful quiet in the house DUH!!! we have NO POWER! As far as I know we only lost power for four minutes. I get up the next day and fix all the clocks and do laundry. Head for work and DH calls me there and tells me that he can't get computer going! I said I will check it out when I get home. I took an hour playing with it and plugging it into other plugs and NO LUCK!!! I have a computer GEEK friend and I bring it up to him and he can't fix it to new for him...

SO I have gone to Best Buy today and I have bought a new computer..... It will be in some time next week.... I didn't buy a PC I bought a MAC... I hope I have better luck with it. So we have braved an ice storm, the flu, Respitory infections ,a death in the family, and the Death of my computer all this week. It has been a rough week.

I did see a rainbow today so that means the future is looking brighter! I hope to be back on line by next week and starting back on my report. Right now I am showing off my Pictures of WDW to my family.
Thanks for checking back in with me! I should be back soon!

[ILMICKEY]

Wow. What a crappy week for you. I will wait patiently while you get things back to normal, or close to normal.

Take care!!

[DISNEY4XMAS]

I'm back I'm back! I am online!!!! I won't be able to update till monday probably:confused3 I am still trying to figure out this MAC:surfweb: all new it's greek to me. I am used to hitting internet explore and POP I am on the web.... Not with this! So if anyone reading my report has a mac and you want to share anything with me I wouldn't mind it.:lovestruc :worship:
I am soooooo glad to be back online!

[kimbac3]

Just wanted to say that I am enjoying your trip report:thumbsup2

My computer died on me about a month ago so I feel your pain. I lost all the pictures I hadn't printed yet. That hurt:sad: I also lost my Quick book info - had to reconstruct my check book register :headache: Now I keep the old fashioned kind:rotfl:

I look forward to the rest of your report!!

Sleeping Beauty, she was very pleasant and of course as she was signing autographs my pen died and she said that things have a way of falling asleep around her and she didn't know why! So we got in with her and had pictures done

Dh was hoping for the belly dancers but no luck! We did hear of how they don't celebrate christmas but what they do instead, I can't fill you in due to I was at the snack shack getting drinks... If you are there you must try the mint iced tea. MMMM good!

I was glad to read the disboards before I went and We learned about the kidcot stations and I learned that there was more to each country that just what you saw as you walked down the main drag!

Here is DM in the bazar area of Morocco.

Heres the WHOLE Family. I really like that people will take pictures of you without hesitation here in in WDW.

As we were leaving Morocco we saw Jasmine and the Genie walking out so we jumped in line and a very not so nice Cm said I am sorry the line is closed I was like WHAT EVER THEY JUST CAME OUT! so I snapped some pictures and just kept walking. Didn't matter anyhow because Ty didn't want to see the genie.

We shopped for a bit while the kids and DM watched the taffy lady. the kids found us in there and were WOWED by all the Pokemon stuff! So they bought some cards! Then off to find the Kidcot station, This one was a little harder to find. But after much looking we found it! It was nice because it was in an almost museum of tin toys!

Up Next: Dinner 1900 Park Fare

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So after Germany I said that we needed to get going so we could make our dinner ressies. I would have really like to have gone back to the cabin and changed and freshened up but there was NO time to allow this. so we were the scrubby ones at the GF! We took the monorail from Epcot to the GF. we were in awe of this place. We made our way with a crowd to the elevator that looked like a birdcage. The kids thought that was cool. And of course we got lost and had to ask for directions to the restaurant, HHHMMMM CM didn't know where it was either, I am hoping that he was new like his first day new! We fine 1900 park fare and check in. There is a wait so they advise us to walk around. So we take pictures

Did I mention how out of place I felt here. We were in short and t-shirt and everyone else we in dresses and suits. It was after all Christmas eve. I felt really out of place and grubby.
Finally our beeper goes off and they bring us in. We were seated in a separate dining area which was great because there were fewer people and it wasn't to loud, as I heard it could be.
Cinderella was the first to visit and I told her how the Boys had been kissed by Sleeping beauty and maybe she could Kiss them too?

Lady Tremaine was not into giving kisses and I asked and her response was " I don't kiss my own kids and you want me to kiss yours I think NOT!"

Anastasia was next.... OMG did she remind me of my niece. They sound just alike. She told it like it was. Because we were all up getting dinner we got single shot of each one of us with her and she was like is this a photoshoot or what let's rap it up here! The kids were laughing so hard!

This is a very moving fireworks display because I can't remember having tears flow at any other fireworks display. I wasn't the only one there with tears, there were many. I don't know if these are in order I just plopped them in, so forgive me if they are not. these were filmed by Samantha
After this we all went back to the cabin and went to bed because Santa was coming!

[scottny]

:woohoo: I am all caught up. great report so far.

:woohoo: I am all caught up. great report so far.
I finally have SCOTTNY reading my post YEAH:cool1: :banana: I think of you as a DIS GOD because I see you on almost every TR!

The pics are great.
Thanks I tried to get good shots of things , it was a new camera that I had gotten the day we left and I knew NOTHING about it! We I got home I read about how to use it and I was like oh I could have used that. Like it has a setting for food and fireworks,and video so I was bummed that I didn't know how to use it for the trip.

lying to Zac that u deleted the pic. :rotfl2: then posting it. :lmao:
Yeah Zac was out of sorts on the trip due to his blood sugar being so High! I showed him yesterday that I posted the picture and he was I thought you deleted it I was like NOPE! He said as long as it doesn't go in his scrapbook he doesn't care!


how r u liking the Mac? I was thinking of getting one.
As for the MAc I am loving it it is very simple and user friendly so far! My kids love it because it has a web cam built in and a program for it that makes you look like your on different things it is fun.

I had the moroccantini when I was there 2 months ago and it was so good.
I was tempted to get a real DRINK while I was in WS but I am such a light weight when it comes to alcohol I was afraid to get sick.


Looking forward to more.

Well I hope you continue to enjoy! I should have more today, in between loads of laundry:laundy:

Dining review: Crystal palace I love it here we did lunch the last time we came and I thought it would be special to do Christmas breakfast here! We of course loved the Characters. They are always so friendly. The one thing that I absolutely LOVED here was the Puffed french toast! I guess this was about the only receipt that we didn't keep, but I am thinking it was around 181.00 Got to love the DDP! No charge! How does that VISA commercial go 6 months making reservations, 181 for breakfast ... seeing my son finally hug a character ... PRICELESS!!!:lovestruc
Up Next HAIRCUTS! Main st. Barber shoppe and the Christmas Day Parade!

[scottny]

I love CP. we always do early around 8 am so we get to see the park basically empty.

[ILMICKEY]

Wow, you are slammin em out now!!

I loved your trip around World Showcase. I so hope you get to spend more time there when you go again!

I felt the same way at the GF. WAY out of place. But hey, those people will never see us again, right?

Looks like you had a great time at Park Fare. I love the step family. Don't you wish you could plaster all that pink and purple makeup on your face and get away with it. They looked great!

Oh, and your desserts, YUMMY!

I thought Epcot looked packed in your pics until I saw MAGIC KINGDOM:eek: ! Yikes. Do you know if it was full that day? I'm so glad you got Ty with the characters. It's weird how some kids just don't care for them.

Okay, now I'm off to read the last one. I'll be back!

[ILMICKEY]

Did Santa find us in WDW? He DID!!! Boy that santa is great! Santa did good to because it was only one gift to bring home!!!
Perfect!




Sam with hers DOESN'T SHE LOOK THRILLED!

She looks like you've been draggin her butt all over Disney World.

Poor kid!!:lmao:


OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT A DS!
Good Job Mom!!

The kids looked adorable in their pirate costumes. I guess I missed this one, for some reason I thought it was the last one.

I'm so freakin confused???:confused3

Oh well, all caught up now!!

[DISNEY4XMAS]

I love CP. we always do early around 8 am so we get to see the park basically empty.
I don't think that I could make it up and out that early, not with three kids! maybe when we do our honeymoon our very late honeymoon we may be able to do it!

Wow, you are slammin em out now!!
I had to play catch up from not having a computer for so long! I must say that I got some house work done in that week because I was so bored!

I loved your trip around World Showcase. I so hope you get to spend more time there when you go again!

I do to We even spent two days there, I think one day will be dedicated to just the WS next time and not half and half but is was so dam busy! all the fast passes were gone by noon. Then it was like a two hour wait

I felt the same way at the GF. WAY out of place. But hey, those people will never see us again, right?
Yeah we were all grubby from the park and there were people walking around in gowns and suits I was like OOPS! I feel like a duck out of water here!

Looks like you had a great time at Park Fare. I love the step family. Don't you wish you could plaster all that pink and purple makeup on your face and get away with it. They looked great!
OMG I LOVED LOVED the Step family! Lady TREMAINE was great and her poise never faltered and those step sisters what a riot! I think I liked Anastasia the best I guess because she reminded me of my niece who is like that on a daily basis, I think my niece even has the make up routine down too!

Oh, and your desserts, YUMMY!
MMMMmmmmm

I thought Epcot looked packed in your pics until I saw MAGIC KINGDOM:eek: ! Yikes. Do you know if it was full that day? I'm so glad you got Ty with the characters. It's weird how some kids just don't care for them.
Epcot was busy but Magic Kingdom was packed I an not sure if they closed the park down that day or not we spent the day there and never left till after 10pm, I think I had heard they did but cant be quite sure

Okay, now I'm off to read the last one. I'll be back!
have FUN! I should maybe have another update later today! have things to due in am but before work I should be able to bang out another!

Perfect!
I had told them to ask Santa for only one gift, because it would be hard for us to lug everything back. I know that is what they all wanted to begin with so it made it easy! oh they got a game and the DS! Now we have lost one and one is broken right off the hinges and WOW a lot of money gone!




She looks like you've been draggin her butt all over Disney World.

Poor kid!!:lmao:
POOR KID MY BUTT! She was miserable most of the time most smiles in the pictures were forced! BY ME! I told her I spent way to much money and her scowl wasn't going to ruin the pictures so SMILE:laughing: THERE WERE SOME GENUINE pictures as you will see the over the next few days!


Good Job Mom!!
I did my best!

The kids looked adorable in their pirate costumes. I guess I missed this one, for some reason I thought it was the last one.
well I found one that I liked better later at the DISNEY STORE in was all denim and oh it was great and it was for the same price that we had paid for the cheap ones... go figure but thanks I think they looked cute too! Did you notice that we all had Pirate stuff on that day? the boys were in there pirate costumes and Lucy had on a pirate sweatshirt and Dh had his pirate shirt mom and I had our pirate shirts on too not that we got into any pictures!

I'm so freakin confused???:confused3

Oh well, all caught up now!!
I know I added a post last night right before bed, tired but I am a slave to the DIS:worship: , I don't know what I will do when I am done with my TR?

[Disney Brat]

Great update & pics!! Glad to see that your DS is warming up to characters...and a hug!! How great!!??

[DISNEY4XMAS]

A Little History about this haircut! I think it was late August when I started looking into the BBB. I also read that there was a barber shoppe in the Magic Kingdom, so I asked the boys if they would like to get their hair cuts whiles we were in Disney, of course they said Fine! they don't like having their hair cuts because Mom does it! So they had their hair cut before school and then I went to give them another one about a few months later and they said NO it has to be cut in disney! For almost three and half months they wouldn't let me cut their hair. My boys usually have buzz cuts so as you can see their hair was quite long~ So after breakfast we went off the the barber shoppe. Not many people like I had heard about only one waiting so we waited!
Tyler waiting Patiently for his haircut! in the old time barber chair.

Finally Tyler's in the chair. His Barber was Janet she was from I think Bermuda or the Bahamas which we talked about because I have been to both when I was Zac's age!

As we had haircuts the grand marshal's came through, and there were some carolers to.

As you can see you Tyler doesn't like his hair cut!

So after the hair cut the boys were asked if they wanted it painted and if so how! Zac wanted it to look like his was on FIRE so Michael painted it all red than put orange and yellow on the tips! it looked cool.

Tyler had told Janet that he didn't know what he wanted for his hair so she did a patriots theme RED WHITE & BLUE. Tyler had pixie dust in his, which was mickey mouse confetti.

For two hair cuts and a painting on Sam it was a total of $28.00, not bad!
As you could see in the picture of the grand marshal's we had a great spot for the parade which would be starting in about 45 minutes so we stayed and waited.
up next the parade!

[scottny]

great pics of the haircuts. you r moving through at my speed. :rotfl2:

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So as you saw from the barber shoppe we had a great view of the parade route so we sat there! Then they made us move because they were going to use it for VIP SEATING! Then the sun was a direct hit and OH MY GOODNESS it would be in the VIP EYE'S so they changed their minds and went across the street and made other people move. They weren't to happy! So we had our spot back. So as the parade starts I noticed that cast members are waving I know they wave and that is part of their job, but almost everyone was waving and the girl beside us said Hi to a few, so being the inquisitive person I am I asked her if she was a CM and she said yes she is a dancer and that it was here day off! I thought she was nuts to be there on here day off but hey that is just me! I hate going to work on my day off, but What the heck she works at DISNEY, not a germ filled hospital!
It is now almost 1130/1200 and it is reaching about 78 80 degrees THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY NO SNOW NO COLD!???? shorts t-shirts?? I am liking it!!!
So on to the Pictures! they may not be in order but you can get the gist of it! Around the Gingerbread cookies and house was an incredible smell of gingerbread. And Goofy's peppermint twist machine it wafted the smell of peppermint mmmmm!

that looks like a fun parade.

great pics.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

As we made our way down to Adventure land we ran into Timon and Raffiki. They were cool! Loved the Kids I think that Raffiki was like Sam a Little much but hey it's Disney show the love! Of course all the characters that we ran in to that day thought the boys hair was great and made comments whether it be a pat on the head or what they said.

After our meeting with Timon and Raffiki we decided to get a DOLE WHIP Since I had heard soooo much about them on the DIS. I asked for a dole whip ooops I had meant a a Dole Float! Well we ate them any how. the were great!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07614.jpg

Next off to Aladdin's Magic carpets! We said the line isn't that long ooops we were wrong, but it wasn't as long as others, since the ride was being built in 2001 (the last time we were there) we stayed and rode! Here are some pictures of us on the ride and things I took pictures of while up on the ride.

Really enjoying your TR love the pictures. We were there 12/24/07 and had a wonderful time. It's so nice to recall all the wonderful memories. Iam here in Syracuse and I'm looking out at trees cover with snow. I'm glad you all had a wonderful time.

[Disney Brat]

Well I am finally all caught up!! Great updates, love the hair cuts and styles!!

[3princesses+aprince]

I love your report, and the boy's haircuts were sooo cute. They looked pretty excited about their ds's on christmas morning too.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

I love your report, and the boy's haircuts were sooo cute. They looked pretty excited about their DS's on christmas morning too.

:welcome: Thank you for Joining in! Yes their Haircuts were great! I keep telling the boys that they need a hair cut and that means we need to go back to DISNEY!:rotfl2: , Cuz they don't cut hair up here like they do in Disney! My Dh just gives me the EYES:rolleyes2.
Yes they were pretty excited about the DS unfortunately we lost one over the February break and then another one is broken the screen is just barely hanging on, DD is the only one that has hers in good shape!

I know "The Eyes" well...anytime the word Disney comes out of my mouth those eyes miraculously appear!

So as we left off we were on Aladdin. We end our ride and headed for POC! As we were walking we noticed a crowd gathering for a Pirate tutorial. All of a sudden who is in front of me, But JACK SPARROW! I fumble with my camera and can't get a picture, I stutter and say OH OH MY GOOOODDDD there he is!

The boys are made honorary Pirates! Captain Jack couldn't get over the boys hair! He told zac that his hair looked like it was on fire! Zac replied Yeah of course! and poor TyTy Jack told no one to go near him because he didn't know what was in hair and he might be contagious.

[scottny]

great update and pics. I liked the pirate tutorial, very fun.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So we were on splash mountain when we left off. The line was lone but it wasn't bad we talked to family member via cell phone, it was christmas day after all! I guess while we had been in POC it rained! I didn't get wet till splash mountain.:lmao: It did rain again while we were in line for splash mountain but we were under cover! We left there and the kids wanted to do Thunder mountain but the wait was long and it was getting close to ADR time, so we got FAST PASSES. Not good until 9:45 -10:45. so we headed down towards the restaurant and walked into a couple of shops. The kids were looking at pins (I don't think I like the Pin trading thing.. spend LOTS OF MONEY and someone trades for a cheap pin no logic to me) I said no you aren't getting a pin!.... I was the MEAN MOMMY! We heard music and noise coming from the road so we stepped out and there was Woody and Jessy and the Horse! So they asked for adults or OLDER children, so DD goes out.... she like to think that we pushed her out there but she went willingly. Next thing I know she is wearing a cowboy hat and line dancing! here are a few pictures she is the one in the pink and black pirate sweatshirt.

It was cute and she had a BLAST even though she said she would DIED if anyone knew she did that.... I think it will make a great yearbook photo! So only my DD had been picked to so something in this show until the end when woody called for all the kids to come into the circle and they were made honorary sheriff's::cop: FUNNY the were also honorary Piratespirate: too! THE GOOD:angel: AND THE BAD:mad: ! I don't have any pictures of that it was so busy and people were flipping out because the could see their children so it was hard to get any good shots! As you can see I always have a head in my way or they would just turn as the camera went off! it wasn't a good photo op!

Up next dinner at LLT!:woohoo:

[scottny]

I thought it was a cute little show/parade?

great pics.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

This was a dinner that I had spent a month researching and Planning. After all it was Christmas dinner! I left messages on the boards for ideas and I got quite a few but the one I got the most was for LTT. So I looked at menus and looked again, I went with the crowd and chose LTT. We were about a half hour ealy and I checked in but she said that it was to early to check in come back in a half hour. HUH?:confused3. So we went and walked around the Christmas shoppe and sat around for a bit! A half hour goes by and we go back. I check in, and we sat for about 10 minutes no bad I don't think. I didn't hear them say The Ero family from NEW YORK all I heard was Ero and I jumped up. we were seated in the first dining room on the left right in front of the doorway. Not a great location but hey I wasn't going to be fussy. AGAIN I felt out of place! Everyone was nicely dressed and most people matched, I guess we matched we all had on pirate gear. We were wet and grimy.
The characters were great! Goofy was sooooo GOOFY! He fell up the stairs and down the stairs! He would hide in the corner when he went near a little child who he had scared. He would sneak up on people. Chip and Dale thought it was great that Tyler knew who they were by name and he had the proper names with each character! ( mom had disney character 101 with him)
The food was average I wasn't impressed, but I am not much of a turkey person unless it has been deep fried, I love it deep fried. I loved the pork that and the mac n cheese. Of course we had the chef come out because of the diabetes and DH allergies to nuts. Chef said that there wasn't much he could tell us for Zac but he told DH to stay away from the DESSERT, this is DH favorite course. They told him that they would send out a bowl of ice cream.

I have wanted to eat there but have been hesitant for the mixed reviews I have read.
The characters looks like fun.

Great pics and update.

As we left LTT they were starting to rope off for spectro magic, as we have now been in WDW for 4 days and have yet to see it we decided that would would stay and watch! We sat right on the porch to LTT. there were a few people in front of us but we still could see!
Here are some pictures of it they aren't the best either got with flash and you couldn't see the light or without the flash and it seemed blurry!

[DISNEY4XMAS]

After spectro magic parade we started back up towards Thunder mountain. We walked through store all the way and end up in one of the stores that is in a tree I think it's called the briar patch? we were in there for about a half hour when we heard this loud bang! and everything shook! We all looked at each other and said the fire works! so we ventured out and watched the fireworks, the boys were tired so they crashed against the store

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/christmas%20night%20pictures/CIMG0537.jpg

The Fireworks are beautiful but not as magical as they would be from in front of the castle!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/christmas%20night%20pictures/CIMG0535.jpg
We decided after multiple many trips to the bathroom(When Zac's blood sugar is high he pee's A LOT!) that there wasn't many people on Thunder Mountain so we would ride. I think we were in line all of 10 minutes.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/christmas%20night%20pictures/CIMG0538.jpg

Right after we finished the First ride my DS5 was crying and the CM asked if had not like the ride and he said Yes I want to ride it AGAIN!!!! So it is now time for our fast passes so we jump right back into line I think we had a longer wait in the FP lane because fireworks were over and more and more people were coming on to the ride. So we rode AGAIN! Now it is 10 p.m. and we are tired, I said lets get on the train that brings you right to the front of the park. HHHHMMMMM it closed at 9 p.m. I guess we have to walk!
HMM that means that we have to walk past the Dole Whip place! Lets try to get a Dole whip Float! I got it right this time!!! Here we are eating our nighttime snack!
If any one is wondering what sam has in her hand it is Zac's insulin shot! this was very hard to judge the carbs in this because one it is ice cream and the other there is juice in it .. His sugar will be high!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/christmas%20night%20pictures/CIMG0539.jpg

DS5 can fall asleep any where as you know he started to doze off here on the wall. He didn't want his Float and We were all full so DD ate it!

THAT is what Disney is all about!! How cute!!!

[scottny]

Looks like a magical evening all the way through. The pics were great. seems like good times were had. and I saw dole floats. :woohoo:

great update.

[ILMICKEY]

What an absolute great Christmas you had!! I can't imagine a better way to spend it. Well I can, but I'm sure Disney wouldn't let just me in there that day.

I am so bummed I missed Jack Sparrow last time. This is number one on my list of things to do on my next trip. He is soooooo hot! Even if it isn't Johnny.

It seemed like it was a really long day for you guys. I can't believe the way you are cranking out reports!! I want to get my TR done. I need to start working on all my new planning.

I loved all your pictures. I think the wavy spectro lights are pretty cool. Oh, and your mother and son dancing is just priceless. That's the way Disney intended us to behave there.

[randy4au]

Stephanie, you have a nice looking family! Enjoying the trip report. Many great photos. Looks like y'all had a great trip. :thumbsup2

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So as I forgot to mention the kids and Dh got more gifts than just the DS's. The kids got a trip to the BIBBIDI BOBBIDI Boutique. And Dh has always wanted to eat the the Hoop-De- Doo Review so I secretly bought us all dinner there!
We wake this beautiful day and decide this is going to be a down day the kids get ready for the pool.Dm and I get ALL the laundry! Dh and kids head for the pool and DM & I get stuck with the laundry.

We had ressies for the BBB for 1:00 p.m.So we head for the boat launch. Here are the boys playing on the beach.

They boys had the same FGMIT(Fairy GodMother in training) which was nice I didn't have to spread myself all over the place.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07752-1.jpg

Up Next Sam's day at the BBB!

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Let me just first say that I didn't know if sam was going to be to old for this because I had only seen little girls doing it. And when we got there she was the only one her age. But then again the CM's had a blast with her because she was older. The Photo pass person was the best. He had fun teasing her and saying that he was going to post the pictures of her on MYSPACE! I think he took well over 50 pictures of her! Then we mentioned that we were going to the Hoop-De-Doo review, He said that he was going to pick up extra hours and be there to ( he wasn't ) Sam had a blast doing it, she felt so special!
So here is my 13 year old Daughter becoming a PRINCESS princess: !

Sam had the Crown package which was for hair nails and make-up not bad it was $49.99 and the boys had the cool dude package and the was $7.00. Sam choose the POP Princess hair design I think there are three to choose from.
Now theses are just the pictures I took! I will post Photo pass pictures maybe tonight when I get home. Off to work!:sad2:

[scottny]

laundry = :sad2:

we did BBB and the girls enjoyed it. I don't think they would do it again. Well maybe Tiny would but not Sissy. Jake would not even consider it.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

As promised here are the Photopass pictures from our day O beauty at the BBB!

OF course as we were waiting for Princess Samantha to be ready for the Ball Zachary's Blood sugar was Plummeting, I sent stephen (Oh by the way it is pronounced STEFFAN so we are Steph and Steph! Cheesey ,yes I know!) to get some lunch for the boys. They went to the Village Fry shoppe and had hot dogs and MC D fries mmmmm good! We joined them later and tried to get on DUMBO but line was huge HUGE! So we decided that it was time to vacate the park since it was a down day!!!
By the time we made it back to Fort wilderness people were already standing outside the door for the HOOP DE DOO review. We himmmed and hawwwd for a few minutes whether we wanted to go back to the cabin and change. We decided not to. After all we had just come from the BBB and we were set for a ball!
Up Next HOOP-DE-DOO review!!!
Will we all have a good time? will someone wet their pants??? How many trips to the bathroom can one child make??? Time will tell stay tuned!popcorn::

[ILMICKEY]

This is so cool. I wish I had little ones (sorta) to do this with. Your little one did not look very happy AT ALL! Poor guy. He will love it when he grows up and looks at them then.

Makin memories, that's what it's all about!!

[scottny]

great photopass pics.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So I was telling Dh that they are having FREE dining in September. He said that I could start:cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: planning our next trip for :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 either September or October 2009. We want to be there for DS birthday so we are weighing birthday or free dining???:cool1:

So While I enjoy my bliss:woohoo: can some one tell me where I can get Those wonderful DIS shirts and sweatshirts? I want to show MY PRIDE For THE DIS

[ILMICKEY]

No idea about the shirts, but CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That's the most awesome feeling EVER!:cheer2:

[DISNEY4XMAS]

ooops I forgot to add this in in the last installment, When we left the BBB and were on the boat riding back to FW there was a sky writer. I was thinking it was some romantic message maybe that My DH did for me! After all I was taking him to The Hoop DEE Doo review! I was wrong it was a religious message! Look and see!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07788-1.jpg
I think it said u+ god = love and the it said something else below it! i think it was Jesus loves u

So when we last left off we were trying to decide if we had time to go back to the cabin and change. We decided not to change because we wanted to go right in and let DH soak it all in after all this was his Christmas present! I was psyched because we had gotten a category 1 so my genius self says we will be right up close and personal. NOT we were as far back as we could be! I think the next table over was a tier 2 or maybe a tier 3. I had better seats for another show which we will talk about later and that was a tier 2. So of course this isn't your typical DISNEY Magical Dining! Typical disney fare but not Dining. I know because I ate here over 26 years ago and I still remember some of it! LOL! God if I still can remember it I must be old! YIKES!
Ok back to the Hoop Dee Doo Review. So when we sit we are grumpily greeted by our server forgot her name. OOPS! We order our drinks and out comes the salad and corn bread mmm I could live on just corn bread ! so on with the show the show starts and my DM say hmmm it is the same show from 26 years ago! HMMM I remember the hall and the food just not the show. So as we are total immersed into the show and all of a sudden there is this Loud LOUD bang and a screech which I know the SCREECH it is my DD'S screech I turn and look and there is our waitress along with every other server putting down our buckets of Chicken and ribs and corn and potatoes. If you haven't eaten here let me fill you in. Plates are old plates which are made of some type of metal and the buckets are made of the same metal when they hit they make this clank sound but when put down with enough force they BANG! Sam was so startled that she screeched and almost wet her pants in fact she asked to go the the bathroom, Which is conveniently located outside of the restaurant. So on with the show, which they preform while you eat. Which is good because they kids don't realize that they are eating all their food. think Zac's blood sugar must have been HIGH because I wear that kid made about thirty trips to the bathroom! Or it just could have been the fact that the bathroom was OUTSIDE!
here are some Pictures!

Towards the end of the show they hand out wash boards and encourage people to clank on their plates and bowls and what have you to make as much NOISE AS POSSIBLE this is just up my kids alley!!!! The freedom to act up in a restaurant and not get punished!!!:yay: So here are my kids doing the very best they can to make NOISE!!!

The food is great if you are into Fried Chicken and Ribs which we are! Of course the Corn bread I wanted to stuff into my purse but I only had enough room in my purse for my KEY TO THE WORLD. Oh the the dessert MMMM GOOD Homemade strawberry short cake! They offer of course all the soda milk chocolate milk and Sangria I think beer was offered to as a drink but not sure!
So we had a great time Dh LOVED it. It was also great that we were close to the cabin and it was just a short bus ride to it! We were all going to have a good night sleep and we were heading to UNIVERSAL studio's the next day! If we can get there!:guilty: :mad: ;)

[scottny]

that is great you had a good time. the pics look great.

sorry the bathroom was outside. :)

I wanted to go but it is a no go.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So this morning we had decided this would be the day to go to Universal, We had boughten a one day ticket for both parks. So we got up late of course it would be 9 by the time we get to the boat. Years back I have a Picture of Zac and I standing on the dock so we tried to recreate it. It is very hard to hold a 7 year old little boy who weight 70 pounds. LOL. So of course the other Kids wanted a Picture to

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07804.jpg
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07805.jpg
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07806.jpg
Finally what seemed like 45 minutes the boat came. Still at this point in time we had NO idea how to get there other than someone said to take the City BUS.
So as the boat arrived Grandma said oh look the sign says Wait for your Host or Hostess and the boat is yellow and white it must be a TWINKIE. Ty said TWINKIE TWINKIE I'm a Twinkie I'm a TWINKIE CALL ME A TWINKIE! Now from this point on he says this EVERY Time he sees the boat! Even now!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07807.jpg
So We took the boat over to MK and then took the monorail to the Transport ticket area. From there we asked were we could get the City Bus that would take us to UNIVERSAL, not a question that one should ask a DISNEY CM! He was good and heckled us a bit and then told us that it was around the corner. So we found the Bus stop and Waited and waited and waited Finally at 10:00 the bus showed up. Then it made about forty more stops around the Disney Property and Finally we headed out for Universal. We get to this Really REALLY busy intersection and he tells us this is where we get off and we have to cross the road and go down about a quarter of a mile and wait for another bus. We had asked when we got on the bus for a ticket transfer pass so we didn't need to pay again for another bus to universal. Well I was excited about where the next bus stop was because it was right outside SEA WORLD.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07808.jpg

So AGAIN WE WERE WAITING! It was now almost 11:00 and our ticket transfer tickets expired at 11:20. At 11:15 still no bus. We had been people watching the whole time watching people drive who aren't from central Fl and others who are it reminded me of being home in BOSTON! Now 1130 transfer tickets have expired, and still NO BUS insight. I see plenty of taxi's pulling out of sea world I have cell phone in hand and I am calling for one any second just waiting to see if that dreaded bus will be coming. All of a sudden we hear some guy YELLING from a van that has some company name on it asking us if we were headed to UNIVERSAL. We said yes and he said he would bring us for $2 per person. So we said sure! WE got into this van and headed right for universal. FINALLY AT 12:00 NOON we finally arrived at our destination. The very nice gentleman that rescued us from the side of the road said that they also do pick-up and will bring us right to our hotel. But the latest that they do a return is 9:00 p.m.. and we have to call a number to make sure there is enough room. So slip in hand that he gave us we were off.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07810.jpg

One of the people on the bus told us that we should do Islands of adventure first. So that is we we headed.
So while I was getting a kid transporter (carriage) The kids found one of there all time FAV's Spiderman

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07812.jpg

So as we walked in we got our map and decided that we would start over in Dr. Suess ville.
But of course we were in AWWWEEE of the HULK ROLLAR COASTER
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07813.jpg
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07815.jpg
Oh yeah we are supposed to be heading for WHOVILLE!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07817.jpg

Kids are now getting hungry. We found green eggs and ham but it was closed. So we headed up the hill and OH OH OH I see a WHO!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07824.jpg

I thought that was soo cool to see a who.
Kids are really complaining that they were hungry! So we went to Circus McGurkus Cafe Stoo-pendous.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07823.jpg
the kids thought this was cool because there was a ride that went through the restaurant and it had a real person playing the organ and singing Christmas carols
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07821.jpg

So what to do NOW! Lets go hit some rides! We were trying to find the entrance to the ride that went through the restaurant and we found a little play area, so the kids took off and PLAYED! ALL THE KIDS
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07825.jpg

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07835.jpg
So I was the MEAN MOmmy that said it was time to go if we wanted to see anything else.
OOOOH OOOH WHO"S (As you can tell I am a HUGE fan of who's. Mr. Grinch and the Christmas story are my favorite christmas programs.)
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07836.jpg

Picture OP!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07837.jpg
So now with having seen the WHO'S we decided to go on the Caro-Suess-el

Note: If you are heading To universal from Disney the shuttle that we took was Magic City National transportation shuttle service. Their number is (407)345-5555 It is only $6.00 per person round trip min of 4 people.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So we went on the High In the Sky Suess trolley Train ride oh what a disappointment that was! We stood in line for well over 45 minutes and it was a quick short little ride through the restaurant and over Suess landing. So not worth the wait.
Then we saw a sign that said see the GRINCH! we got in line to him. And the wait was not that bad. We all had separate pictures for some reason.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07847.jpg
But we got to see the Grinch! As you can see all the work Tyler had made with characters went right out the window when he saw the Grinch.

So we moved on to the Lost Continent

Samantha saw the Dueling Dragons and said she HAD TO GO ON IT!
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y89/240hooker/P1000353.jpg
So No one else wanted to go on it so I said I would go with her! It was a 70 minute wait! But well worth it. Let me just say:scared1: We had the very last seat which wasn't the greatest but it was another forty minute wait for the front seat, which the next time we go there I will wait. The ride was AWESOME!
So as we were riding the kids played with the The Mystic Fountain.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07859.jpg
By the time we got off the ride the boys were soaked
The boys and I decided to do a little roller coaster action that was suited for them (DH included) and we rode the Flying unicorn. That was fun fast and lots of curves. This is were DM saw some celebrity who she can't for the life of her remember who it is! Just knows that he had an entourage with him and VIP tour guides. And she couldn't get a picture!
Up Next Jurassic park and we didn't think we were going to have time to do much because we still had the other park to do as well so we just walked through most of the area's, we ran through some!
So here are some pictures of Jurassic Park

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07864.jpg
We moved on to Toon Lagoon. DM and I and Kids decided that we needed to get wet... NOT! But we decided to ride Dudley Doo-Rights Rip Saw Falls. We spent an hour in line when we got in line it was light out and when we got off the ride it was just getting Dark! Dh said he wasn't going to join us because he didn't want to get wet. What a party pooper!

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So after we got SOAKED, yes soaked wet right down to our skin. I bought a towel for us all to dry off with and everyone put our matching jackets on because it was chilly out and we were WET!. We needed to eat but wanted to see the other park so we walked towards the entrance. I snapped some pictures as we walked through Super Hero Island.

So we left Islands of Adventure and were on the city walk and we heard Lips of an Angel could it be Hinder?? I don't know and we didn't stop to find out if it was them playing LIVE but I took a picture anyhow. If it was them then I had the Picture!

It's hard to see us but in order to fit in all of our driver I had to zoom out!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07893.jpg
We started to walk towards Universal studio's and it is now 730 p.m we have an hour and half to get back to the shuttle. So we need to eat and shop and ride Rides but wait the lines are 60 - 90 minutes We don't have any time to ride. So we ate at Beverly Hills Boulangerie, we all had subs or sandwiches. That was in the Beverly hills area of the studio's

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07881.jpg

Then we hit the Silver Screen Collectibles and shopped!
Then we decided it was time to leave because we weren't sure how long it would take us to get the carriage back and to get to the parking area where the shuttle would pick us up. So we were EARLY by about 20 minutes so we watched all the people walk by. I was very disappointed that we didn't get to see all the stuff we wanted and I didn't get to go to Margaritaville. The kids were mad because we didn't see spongebob and Dora. So the next time I know to start off in the studio's. We took the shuttle back with the same people that rode with us they were from England I love that accent. The guy was good on his word and dropped us off right at the outpost. We were tired and still wet from Dudley doo-right, we got back to the Cabin and showered and went to bed!

Up next MGM or is it Hollywood studio's?

[scottny]

great update and pics.

the pics look really nice.

sorry u did not get to do all you wanted but it leaves it as an excuse to go back.

the shuttle sounds like a good alternative to get there.

So as I had said that we tried to recreate a shot that we took 7 years ago. Here it is
May of 2001

[DISNEY4XMAS]

We off to see our SUPERHERO'S
THE POWER RANGERS

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07895.jpg

So when we get to MGM we decided that some one has to run and get fast-passes, So of course I was nominated. I ran to RnRC and grabbed our fast passes there and we were all to meet up at ToT.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07896.jpg
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07897.jpg
So I waited patiently at ToT but no one arrived, So I started walking and calling FINALLY there they are. We ride TOT, (sorry No pictures) This was Stephen's, Zac and Ty's first time riding, Zac LOVED it Ty wasn't so sure and Steph said I have rode it once and that is all you'll get me on it! what a party pooper!
So we walked back down I think it was Hollywood Blvd. and took some pictures.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07898.jpg

I was VERY disappointed in this store! I thought there would be a better choice of VILLAN merchandise here. I wanted something for an EVIL STEP MOTHER for myself.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07903.jpg

So we left for the Streets of America. Here is New york!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07905.jpg

Where we were looking for Mater and Lightning but we Heard this loud Music and who what it but Our Hero's instead YEAH.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07906.jpg

Streets of San Francisco

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07907.jpg

Finally we get to meet our HERO'S
We all stood in lines and had the kids run from line to line so that we got to see each before they went in. We got to see all of them except the boys favorite the RED POWER RANGER!

Off to Star Wars tours .... and the only thing that I got from this ride was a HUGE bruise on my butt and very nauseous I think this was worse than Mission Space.

This was one of my most planned dinners, This is the one that was a MUST have.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071013.jpg
We arrived about 5 minutes before our ADR, and we told to have a seat in the living room. We were seated quite quickly. Our waitress our rather Cousin Jennifer was great. She played the part right to the end! We were seated in a corner table due to our party size. Everyone was impressed with the TV playing old shows which Myself and the kids really didn't know any of them. DM and Dh knew most of them.
Cousin Jennifer got our drinks which I think most of the kids got the shakes and I heard that they were great! no one shared:confused3
Sam, Mom and I had the onion rings. Stephen had the shrimp cocktail.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07939.jpg

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07937.jpg

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07938.jpg
Here are our dinners :


I had the fried chicken dinner with the collard greens:eek:

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07940.jpg

Mom had the pot roast sorry it's blurry

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07941.jpg

In true PTC spirit.. Sam who didn't eat her pea's was hand feed. I was too! I tried the tried but true method of pushing my collard greens around the plate to make it look like I had eaten some but that cousin Jennifer is smart! She knew I hadn't eaten any of them, I was given a small little bite to try!


http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07942.jpg

So since we had all eaten our veggies we were allowed dessert. YUUMMMYY!
Stephen Mom and Sam had the brownie sundae's



http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07943.jpg

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07944.jpg



http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07945.jpg

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07946.jpg

We asked cousin Jennifer if we could have a picture and she said sure but we said that we wanted her in the picture to so she called on our cousins in the room to volunteer to take a picture. Our COUSIN from another table took this!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07947.jpg

[ILMICKEY]

50's is the BEST. We loved everything about it, cept the collard greens and root vegetable hash. We had so much fun. Would do it again any day. You got some really good pictures.

I PM'd you yesterday!

[scottny]

love the update. the pics are great.

we loved it when we ate there. the "cousin" was so good it was scary. :lmao:

glad u had a nice experience.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So I forgot to add these pictures in! Some Where I have Pictures of us on the Rides. I will post them when I found them or I get a new scanner! The looks on Zac's face is worth it!

Now as we got to this ride of course people we already on it and they were screaming:scared1: and the BOYS including DH looked at me Like what the heck are you going to do to us!

Then it was time for RNRC. Again when I get the pictures of the ride on just wait to see Zac's face! This time Ty was to small for this ride and since Stephen doesn't like Roller Coasters so he volunteered to stay off with him. I told him about the child swap and he said NO what a party pooper! So before we got on Stephen and Sam went to get some popcornpopcorn:: to snack on while they were gone we had the Photopass photographer take our Pictures... Look at Tyler's eyes on second picture. Just imagine my surprise when I got home and looked at our photopasses pictures online.

I think Ty was thinking how can he do that with his leg?
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07951.jpg

Bye Bye Power Rangers thank goodness we got to see all of them. While everyone sat on a park bench on the streets of New York I went and got fast passes for the NEXT showing of Lights, Motor, ACTION! DD didn't want to see this and we got MAJOR attitude because we didn't go see high school musical
So we had about 45 minutes before the next show so we decided to go into the HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS PLAY SET. Well first we went looking for MATER and LIGHTNING but we couldn't find them. We will have to be on the look out for them on our next trip because that is my DB fav characters.

Off to the playground.

So here is an example of what the picture would have looked like if Tyler would have stayed. It still came out cute and the smiles were genuine.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07958.jpg
Here's Tyler coming out of another stump. It was hard to watch the kids in here there are just to many hiding spots, so we just sat back and relaxed, and watched other parents FREAK OUT because their children were off playing.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07959.jpg

Here is Zachary coming out of the Film canister. We had a great family pic done here last time and just could never round up the kids this time to do another one.

thanks we loved it there! We went last time and we had a blast!

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So as we left off last time we were waiting for our fast pass time to get into Lights Motor ACTION. We finally get in and we wind around to the stadium, the boys where totally impressed they thought it was great! And nothing had started yet! Dm saw the stadium and decided she was going to sit on the lowest section due to she had knee surgery a month and a half before we left for disney. Sam decided to stay with her. We wanted to sit up further because 1. we saw water didn't want to get wet, 2. the higher up you sit the better you can see. So we ended up sitting mid way. I kept saying boy the stadium is full when are they going to start the show and still people were coming in. They asked everyone to squeeze together to make more room. Zac had found a friend or two there were two teenage boys sitting beside us and zac talked their poor ears off by the end of the show. So I took a lot of pictures and as you know if your taking pictures you miss most of the action. So I am going to put the pictures down and you can see for yourself.

Now look at the last picture do you see the wetness on the ground right before the stadium?? I do think DM & DD did get wet not soaked but sprayed.

Lights Motor ACTION part 2 next

[stagemomx3]

My kids really liked LMA. DH and I missed it so it's on our "next time" list.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So here we are towards the end of the show now instead of water there is fire! I tell you I was half way up and the heat was very intense, Dm and DD said it was VERY VERY hot where they were sitting.

We left Lights motor action and I knew it was time for the parade, and I knew that we were late for the parade, so I told every one to hightail it. By the time we made it to the ABC Commissary Zac announces that he is low and feels like he is going to pass out! YIKES! He has never said that he feels like that. He usually says he feels like he is low and that is it! So we stop and check his sugar and he is like 48, now for those of you who don't know a normal sugar is about 90-120. Yes he was on the verge of passing out so we get him his juice and we sit. And we sit and wait for zac to start feeling better. Even after his blood sugar gets back to normal he isn't feeling the best so MOM (ME) being the hero picked up this seven year old little boy who I mind you weights 70 pounds and puts him on her back and we walk to the parade route, because everyone wants to see the parade. Of course the parade was half over when we got there and it was so crowded that we couldn't see a thing so I put Zac the 70 lbs boy on my shoulders so he can see! DH has Ty on his shoulders and they were the only two to see the parade. Thank god it was finally over and zac felt a little better, I was able to put him down. So they decided it was a bathroom break time and then we decided to hit some of the store.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071011.jpg
So while we were shopping Tyler needed the bathroom again so I said I would take him because DH had had most of the Bathroom duties while on the trip!!! So while Tyler took ten minutes in the bathroom Sam and Zac got inot a fight which included someone being shoved into a mannequin So of course Dh was steaming and after that we were of for Hollywood and Vine for dinner. It was a package for the priority seating for Fantasmic.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071012.jpg
Let me just say because Dh was steamed at the Kids it was a QUIET dinner and to make matters worse the food was the worst. The chef came out and was pretty straight forward by saying that he couldn't help out with DS diabetes and told Stephen to stay away from all the desserts. That is it and he returned to the kitchen. We got up to the buffet and started to look over the food, nothing caught our eye. Even our waiter who I don't remember his name didn't impress me! WE each got up twice for the buffet leaving most of what we took on our first plate there. When I went back up I went to get some roast beef and I like rare to med rare and I asked for it and the girl who was at the carving station said that they don't do it that way they only had well! I asked if any med rare would be coming out and she said NO we don't make it that way here! I was like oh ok, so it was off to the dessert bar and I wasn't impressed by that either. So needless to say we will not eat there again. In fact when we were checking out someone was asking if they could do the package and asked about dinning there and I spoke up and said that it was the worst place we ate in our entire stay, I suggested that they try something else. The CM just looked at me and I was like what it was horrible. So they went to Mama Melroses.

Then after dinner we walked to the Priority seating entrance and waited for Fantasmic to start. Still Stephen and sam not talking things weren't looking good. We watched fantasmic while Tyler slept. Tyler will sleep anywhere at any time, no matter what the noise level. I have video but I need to learn how to convert it to be able to put it on photobucket. Maybe I will have it at another time.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071014.jpg



So after Fantasmic was over Stephen decided it was time to go!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071015.jpg

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071016.jpg

We were all heading for the entrance when my mom said Hey what about the Osbourn lights? Stephen said No we aren't going but hey if you want to go than go. The boys are tired we are going back to the cabin! Of course I had to go back to the cabin too! I wasn't a happy camper. But before we left Zac said Mom you promised that we could go back to RNR to get something in the gift shop.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071017.jpg

So off we go Sam Zac and I running to RNR. Zac ended up with a hat and Sam a T-shirt. My cell phone starts ringing and of course it is Stephen asking WHERE ARE YOU? My phone dies. So I finally find him and we leave and Mom and Sam head off to see Osborn lights soooo not fair! I didn't speak to stephen all the ride home. We headed off to get some coffee and bread for the cabin for the morning, the boys who are fully awake now want to play on the playground. Here is the Christmas tree at Fort Wilderness
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071019.jpg



I was about to blow when Stephen said ok I was like I missed the christmas lights to watch the kids on the playground ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I got a drink a real grown up drink and sat fuming. We just made it back to the cabin and just got into bed and there was a knock on the door and it was DM & DD they couldn't find their keys. Off to sleep now that everyone was home.

So here are the pic from Moms camera that she took of the Osborn lights

[disneyaddicted]

I have free time finally and am going around reading all the trip reports that I have book marked months ago, I just finished the first page and have a long way to go. I just wanted to let you know that I am on board now and really enjoying the report and all the pictures so far.

Thanks Ty! it's not much only 8 pages I really don't have to many people on board. i think I have readers well lurkers but no one comments..
UUUHHHEMM! you readie+ you leave postie = me a happy camper:lovestruc :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[disneyaddicted]

I am all caught up now, and i have to tell you, as each page loaded, which took a long time because of all the pictures (but I loved them) I cleaned my room. SO I got work done and got all caught up, I feel a sense of accomplishment today, that doesn't happen alot.

Of all the pictures you posted my all time fav's are the ones with you and each of your kids on the dock. I would frame each one, they really are lovely.

sorry you missed out on the lights, But man you got to spend Christmas Day in the magic Kingdom, I think I might have a shade of green to my skin now. that would be an awesome way to spend Christmas.

I am looking forward to reading more.

[ILMICKEY]

So did you like the stunt show? I thought it was "eh". The menfolk liked it though. We didn't even watch it this last trip.

I'm sorry you didn't like the restaurant. Sure stinks knowing you paid all that money and got nuttin!

We had an incident on Buzz that I didn't post on my TR because someone might think my family isn't perfect. Not really, I just didn't want to post it, but I'll do it here.

Robby and Matt were riding together. Matt started spinning, you know, just playing around. Robby got all pissed off and grabbed Matt by the back of the neck and squeezed really hard, hard enough to leave marks. OMG I was so freaking mad I totally freaked out on him and didn't really give a hoot as to who was standing there listening.

I can tolerate the rude talking to each other, but NOT the physical crap. I told him I would call the cops and leave his little butt right in Orlando jail until the end of the trip.

But your right, it makes for a VERY uncomfortable evening.

Why can't we just all get along???

For some reason I can't see your pics from this last post. I'll check them out at work and see if I can't get them on that computer.

Well Ty I am glad you got things done today while reading my TR, I on the other hand read from the moment I get up till I get ready for work and I get NOTHING DONE! Dh is getting mad!:mad: I do have to start packing though we are getting a new house and should be in it by August / september, so I need to start packing and throwing things out. I will have pictures made and put them in the New house, Plus I have a ton of pictures that I need to hang. I guess that mean a trip to the christmas tree shop for me! I don't think you have any down there in PA they are great you can find great things for really cheap. Most frames are less than $7.00 If I can I will post an update tomorrow and then I will be almost done!

The LMA was ok the boys liked it of course I thought it was cool I like explosions and fast cars. I didn't like how ever how they stopped every few minutes to show you how things are done! Sam was pissy because she didn't get to do Highschool musical, that was most of her problem on the trip is that we catered to the boys and not her. I told her that she was out voted. I know not fair but she is 13 and the boys are little. I told her that she could have taken grandma to go see it but yet grandma didn't want to go to it either? Go figure! I think that just set off the fireworks that happened only a little bit later, is that she told zac that he was a brat and gets every thing he wants and it wasn't fair. so on so forth. But I was very mad that I didn't get to see the lights, he promised that we could go back again to see them. I was like YEAH RIGHT! I really think the boys would have loved to see it.
Se la Vi!:sad2:
AS for the pictures hhmmm my mom said she had trouble seeing some too I wonder why I did it the same way???:confused3 :confused3

So as it was on the schedule we were to head to animal kingdom. Well of course we had all had gone to bed late. So per usual we didn't make rope drop. So we waited for the bus and the kids enjoyed the scenery on the way to the animal kingdom.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071021.jpg

Here is the christmas tree. we were highly impressed with all the trees, each tree had it's own theme that went according to the park.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071022.jpg

It was hot out, so we decided that we needed a carriage today so I was off in search for the carriage shoppe. Which I found right away with no lines no waiting, which was good we had things to do today. With the boys in the carriage we were off. Off to see the beautiful lands of Africa and Asia. We stopped to ooogle over the locals.

Next up we stop on the bridge like everyone else to see the Tree of Life. We snap a few pictures and then it is decided that one of us needs to go get FP to EE. Since mom had just had knee surgery she was out and Dh has NO sense of direction I was the only logical one to go. So the rest of the crew said that they would go get in line for the Safari. I started running and then I slowed down. At this point I get to EE and decided that Ty isn't tall enough to go on it even after all my research I forgot if he was tall enough for it. I call Dh to see who was staying off. So DH said he would stay off I said do you want to ride we can do the child swap? NOPE Don't want to RIDE! Party POOPER!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071026.jpg

Along my route I spotted Baloo and uncle Louie But I didn't have time to chat so I snapped a picture on the run!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071027.jpg

I secured the FP and was heading backto the safari and I decided to call my stepmother she asked where I was and being the smarty pants I am I said ASIA, she was like HUH? I told her how I had just seen mt. Everest....:lmao: She was like OH ok you are still in Disney and I was like we have three more days well really two left. OOOPs there is a beep gotta run moms calling. WHERE ARE YOU? They say ......I am on my way! Well, we're are almost up to the beginning of the line. YIKES! I finally make it to the line and OMG it is huge I call them back to say hello this line is huge how do you except me to get through it, I was told to cut! I was very hesitant but there was another person doing the same thing so I just stayed behind her and let her tell people that she needed to find her party ahead. I finally make it to the FP line and think I am in the free and clear and boom right smack dap in front of a CM. She was like this is for FP only and I said yes I know but my family is a head of me and I need to catch up. Disney magic here !!! Cm Oh Ok go ahead! Thank you! another call where are you??
I am on my way! I am now zig zagging through the people and boy don't I almost get run down by a motorized cart. Thank god there is my family I was like I am here I'm here. So here are the pictures from the Safari.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So after the safari ride we wanted to go see Rafiki's planet watch I think that was the name of it. We got on the train which the kids thought was neat because it was an old train not like the monorail.
So here is Ty, not looking of course!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071059.jpg

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071073.jpg

We were all getting hungry. We were close to Pizzafari so I had heard great things and we went there. OMG there is no seating. I tell Dh and kids to sit outside and jump at a table if anyone moves. I got inside and there are plenty of seats open. I get the crew and they were like this is better airconditioning and shade this beats outside. Ak is just one of those places it is hot and muggy at all times. So Dm and I go to order. We all get pizza and apple turnovers. then we move on to the kids meals and I saw they want pizza too! Oh no sorry deary they aren't offered pizza. WHAT? Are you crazy? PB&J or speghetti. Dm pays out of pocket for two more pizza's and apple turnovers. (I got mad because if a few peoples reports they got pizza for kids choice:furious: .) oh and we got bread sticks. My son zac thought it was cool that I took Pictures of our food and was quick to remind me and help out as Vanna of course.

Hey how did one of my kids escape me! No just kidding we watched the gorillas for a bit while waiting for our ride to EE. DH and Ty stayed off EE and they waved. Ty was pissed for about thirty mins that he couldn't go on EE which by they way he was tall enough for my bad!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071077.jpg

Here is sam just sitting around waiting for us. I thought this turned out great!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071079.jpg
So up next was our time for Kali river! we watched everyone come off soaked. Mind you that EVERYONE had CROCS but DH. Stephen said he wouldn't wear them if his life depended on it. So I didn't buy a pair for him. As he watched people slosh in their wet sneakers he had a change of heart. Buy me a pair. I asked if he wanted bright pink ones.... just get me black ones woman! Lets not make a big deal about it! no one will ever have to know that I have a pair since I will NEVER wear them again. So of course I had to take a picture for proof! Now he wears them all over the place, he says because they are easy to get in and out of not tying laces.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071083.jpg

After Kali we were wet and decided to go into dinoland and dry off. The kids played on the boneyard. We got bored forgetting about all the other stuff to do. We did check on times for it's tough to be a bug but it was like a 45 -50 min wait and we were hot and bored. We decided it was time to go and hit the pool before going to the Lua out!


Up next will we make it in time for the lua out???

[stagemomx3]

Did the kids enjoy the Boneyard? We never stumbled upon it so I'm not even sure where it is in Dinoland.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Did the kids enjoy the Boneyard? We never stumbled upon it so I'm not even sure where it is in Dinoland.

They ::yes:: did we had a hard time getting them out. The boneyard is right I think as you walk into Dinoland. I know there was a McDonalds fry stand right across from it. It's like the honey I shrunk the Kids Play set. The kids thought that it was cool because there was no lines and they liked digging for the bones. I think I relaxed because I didn't take any pictures, that or I just couldn't find them, the kids.

Thnk you so much I really enjoyed your trip report and pictures!!

:thanks: :welcome:
I started off with a bang now I have gotten into read everyone else's and have put mine on a back burner. I should be done soon I have a day in a half left to do.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So we left off by the us leaving Animal Kingdom. We walked to the buses and waited and waited. Finally the bus showed after 35 minutes and then they had to switch drivers, there had been a cool driver there with cool music and the new bus driver was stuffy, he put on like elevator music and said he had no control over it. Oh well we were off and the ONLY ONES ON THE BUS! I wonder why? Cuz, everyone else was still in the park. We got back to the cabins and everyone changed in to their swim gear. Dh was complaining that he had no clean shorts for tonight's dinner. DM and I got all the laundry together and did :laundy: laundry while everyone swam. Four more loads! Well I was watching the clock and it was now about four and laundry was just finishing. I think we had to be at the poly for 5 for the Lua out. We had an hour and that meant everyone still had to get ready and get there. Well, needless to say it was 5 by the time we got to the dock to take the boat to MK. from there we were going to take the monorail to the poly. Again we were waiting, there were two boats coming one that goes to MK and the other to the Contemporary. We had just missed the first boat to the Contemporary, they were just letting the rope go off the boat and pulling away from the dock. So the smaller of the two boats came first and we decided that it would be quicker to take the smaller boat to Comtemporary and take monorail one less stop. Well let me tell you that boat and it's captains were slower than slow. The slow boat to china moves a lot faster!:rotfl2: We we almost better off to jump out and swim, that is how slow they went. Finally the dock is in site and I am making excuses of why we are late and why they need to let me in. Mind you I hate people that use their disabilities as an excuse for things but I was willing to uses son's diabetes as an excuse this night. Oh I forgot to mention in the forty five minutes that it took us to get from cabin to Contemporary Zac had peed 3 times. OK back to the dock I said out loud Finally we are there! I was sarcastic and as wwe all know that doesn't get you anywhere!! I swear we are still about 20 feet from the dock and they shut off the engine and we drifted to the dock! The captain looked at us and said "Have a pleasant Evening":furious: Again Zac is crying he has to PEE Jeez kid you just went TWICE before we left the dock at fort wilderness. We are running and had to stop for a bathroom. Finally we got on the monorail and get to the poly. Are there signs of where to go? NO! We are walk/running because now it is almost 6. Mind you we were supposed to be there by 5 - 5:15. Dm stopped to ask for directions from a DVC person in the lobby and he was oh Lets look at a map. MOM wasn't in the mood for that! She was like NEVER MIND! we went out side and finally found signs and there was another couple that had been on the boat with us and they were still in tow, I didn't feel bad because I knew we weren't the only ones late. There were a few people in line and they all had some type of ticket, my mom says do you have one of those? I was like NO they Didn't give me one! The lady at the booth was great she was like don't worry about we will get it for you! I love the ALOHA spirit! Go have your picture taken and enjoy!(I will post that at another time) But here are the pictures I took of that evening!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071085.jpg

It took me a while to figure out WHY I took this picture I thought for a while that there were twinkle lights in the sidewalk( there are but you can't see them) but then it dawned on me that the lights that shine on the sidewalk are snowflakes.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071086.jpg
Here is a group shot minus me of course Eating dinner. Dinner was very good there were ribs chicken some type of rice and veggies. I think we got extra servings of the ribs and chicken. We figured out why Zac was using the bathroom SO frequently when he checked his sugar it was 547:scared1: When I brought him to the hospital for his diagnosis he was 580. I was scared. I told him to drink lots of water and keep peeing!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071087.jpg
We had a great seat and it was for a Tier 2 we were on a balcony and right in front of the stage. There were no heads in our way it was great and we didn't pay as much! BONUS! The show went on and off through out our dinner and the came Dessert! They made a big production of it. All the lights dimmed and there was a lot of smoke and it was cool
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071088.jpg

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071089.jpg
So I am expecting something like a lava cake or something like the chocolate wave, NO it was a molded hunk of mousse and it had a Nut in the middle with pineapple sauce drizzled over it. It was not that great.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip071091.jpg

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07137.jpg

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07138.jpg

After we were all done we roamed around the poly. We went into the stores and looked. I called and bragged to stephens cousin that we had just finished the Spirit of Aloha dinner show, they were there a year before and it got cancelled due to rain. She was sooooo MAD:furious: . So I had to brag that we saw it! Back to Fort Wilderness just in time to see WISHES from the beach.

Up Next ?? I think Boardwalk for Breakfast

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So before we left the Poly I took some pictures of the great ginger bread houses that they had on display. Zac and I had just made one in his class before we left.

Now tonight was the 29 of December they were testing the new years eve fireworks. When we got back to the cabin and got everyone settled and mom and I left to go to the beach to watch the fireworks we just missed the last boat to MK. So we were stuck on the beach. MK was open till 4 am that night so we could have gone but I said no I need some sleep!
So here are the SPECIAL NEW YEARS EVE FIREWORKS from the beach at Fort Wilderness.

Everyone on the beach ooood and ahhhhhd at them and mom and I hitched a ride back on the bus to the cabin and it was :cloud9:
so I thought! I get back and stephen tells me that Sam Fell off the top bunk :rotfl2:lmao:
..............and hurt her KNEE. HUH?
1. How do you fall out of a bunk bed that has rails? Her reply was I fell off the ladder
2. Aren't you 13 why are you falling out of bed? to wihich she replied I slipped
3. Are there bones broken? NO but It HURTS!
I came prepared I gave her an ice pack and tylenol and told her to put a pillow under it and she would be fine! She would limp for two days when people were looking ran when she wanted something!!!!!!!!

Fast forward three months later Dr looks at knee and there is fluid built up and wants her on crutches right before the BIG SKATING FINALLY SHOW Crutches = NOSKATE! BIG part in show it was a choice she had to make . She chose to skate and ice daily with tylenol. Funny Dr sends us for xrays for a broken toe but a swollen knee no x-rays go figure?
Up Next!
Breakfast at Boardwalk??? Sound good? Sounds good to me!

[ILMICKEY]

I loved the gingerbread houses. I've always wanted to make one, but I don't really think I have the patience.

How cool you got an extra fireworks show. Did you know it was coming or did you just stumble on it? I like the smileyface one!!

Poor Sam. Kids always seem to find ways to manage to get hurt no matter what they do. Is she all better now?

The gingerbread houses were cool! Some of those had a lot of detail which I wouldn't have the patients for either. Zac and I did have fun make the one in school but they also used graham crackers.

The fireworks .... Yes they advertised it because the boats don't run when the fireworks display is going on. With MK being open till 4 a.m. that day they made sure people knew that there was going to be a pause in transportation. It was cool they did it for two nights then the actual Display for New Years Eve.

Sam, well it still gives her some problems but at least the swelling is gone down. She is so accident prone it isn't funny, but she is very graceful on the ice when she skates. Here is a link to her skating competition.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/th_snowflake2.jpg (http://s210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/?action=view&current=snowflake2.flv)

This was her first competition, she actually didn't have music to skate to they aren't allowed at that level. I added it in. This was taken back in 05 in Potsdam NY which is about 2 hours from us.

[ILMICKEY]

VERY VERY nice! I absolutely love ice skating, well not me, but watching ice skating. It's so graceful and beautiful.

She did a wonderful job!!

[stagemomx3]

Very pretty skating!

Thank you she is a great skater when she puts herself into it! She is a teenager and wants to do what her friends are doing but they play soccer and have played soccer since before they started school. So I told her just think No one else skates you have got the market on that in your school. Her coach a few years back called the school to have them announce that she passed what ever test she was taking and that she passed it on the Olympic oval in Lake placid. The one that they used in the 1923 (I think ) Olympics. She was VERY embarrassed. Teenagers !!:rotfl2:

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So This is the morning of the 30th. THis is our last full day Here at Disney! We need to start cramming things in because we don't know when we are going back. I decided that I wanted to tour some of the hotels mainly the boardwalk because that is where I have always wanted to stay! With all of our counter service meals pretty much left we said let's use them today and I said Great we can go to the bakery at the Boardwalk and have breakfast. She we all got dressed and got on the bus to go to the boat and then we hopped on the bus at the MK to go Boardwalk. We were the only ones on the bus! Everyone seemed to be at MK it was so congested just trying to get from the boat docks to the buses. I think they shut the park down at noon that day! I was in total awe for the boardwalk as it came into site. With camera ready I started snapping pictures!

The entrance

The grounds

Ok we are getting HUNGRY MOM can we Eat! So we went out in search of the Bakery!There is a line and it is hard to see what you really want because there isn't much room. Kids got chocolate chip muffins and I got a Chocolate croissant :bitelip: Let me just say that I could have gotten one muffin to split between the boys they were HUGE! Sorry no picture we were hungry! Stephen got a muffin to and mom got some sort of breakfast sandwich on a croissant we all got TWO drinks. The second drinks ended up getting squished in the back pack later that day!
So we ate outside on the boardwalk by the ESPN club.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07163.jpg

Here is a picture of the Beach club and storm-a-long bay. We didn't make it over to see them this is as far as we went. I was kinda disappointed that the boardwalk open the little shoppes were closed and it wasn't in FULL SWING to say!

I had to take a picture of the pool area because it is so awesome! It reminds me of growing up on the beach we had a boardwalk type place Nantasket Beach there was an amusement park and the beach with all the game places on the boardwalk.

Oh my I do love the Boardwalk!:cloud9: That pool IS awesome. I tell you, I can't think of 1 bad thing to say about the place. I would definitely go back there again. You got some great pictures. I think you got more than me and I was there for 5 days:lmao: !

I hope you get to stay there.

[disneyaddicted]

For some reason I thought your TR ended on christmas day, don't know why I thought that. But I was happy to read more. I used to really dislike AK but now it's up there with all my favorites which are, MK, MGM, and Epcot!!! I guess that's all of them huh?

We've been to WDW 3 times right after Christmas and I love all the decorations everywhere-it's really magical! Especially the dream lights this past year. I could've stared at the castle for hours. :goodvibes

On one of our trips we also went to Universal. We saw the Grinch and he was sooo good...very grinchy. LOL. I was too chicken to ride the Hulk...

Ok, I'm off to read the last 2 pages!

Which grumpy shirt are you reffering to I think he has about 4 of them! I think you maybe talking about the brown one that he had on at the boardwalk. I got that at KMART! They have Disney shirts and they are cheap! He was asked several times that day where he got it because everyone loved it! My mom was hesitant on letting me buy it because she thought it was rude!

Yes, thats the one I was talking about. They closed all the KMarts in our area several years ago :furious: I wander if they have them online:confused:. I will be checking that out. Thanks! Your trip is great and I loved watching the video of your daughter ice skating.

I just read your entire report so far this afternoon and love your pics and writing style! Great report!

One comment about the Polynesian Luau - my DBFF & I were running late for the show in February (took the wrong monorail from MK) and ended up 45 min late. Well, this really nice young lady took us to our seats where we thought we were going to be up in the back when all of a sudden she turns quickly and seated us down in the front row!! We were flabbergasted! In fact, thru the whole trip, we ended up in front rows of many rides (Soarin' which was our first time, Tower of Terror, Big Thunder Mtn RR, to name a few). Plus we stayed at the Boardwalk and got an awesome room over Wayland Gallery with a huge balcony.

Your kids are so adorable and I really loved that your daughter did the BBBoutique.

I can't wait to go in December to see all the Christmas decorations - esp at the Boardwalk!

I think I told Dh about you asking about his shirt and he found it and wore it tonight! He got a few people asking about it too! Thanks you all three of my kids skate, she of course is the oldest so she has been doing it the longest

Yeah!! You tell him! I think I'd be the same way, heck I KNOW I'd be the same way.
We just saved a bunch on the house by cutting things out so I can safely say that we are going

Thanks and :welcome: Oh just you wait and see it is so wonderful at christmas! Lucky you to get the front row of almost all the rides we tended to have the back seats for almost everything!
The kids didn't know that they were going to the BBB that was a surprise christmas gift. She absolutely loved all the attention she got and the photopass guy gave it to her. I think he enjoyed having an older girl in there that he could joke with!

I love the boardwalk area! You guys should be sure to try those surrey bikes next time!

[scottny]

great update and pics.

we had fun at Boardwalk.

that boat ride did not sound like fun.

[DISNEY4XMAS]

Thanks Scott, yes they boat ride was the worst service that we had in the ten days we were there. It was like they new we were in a rush and went extra slow!

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So after roaming around the boardwalk and letting the kids pitch fits because I wouldn't let them play in the arcade. I am such a mean mommy! I thought about canceling our ADR for whispering canyon cafe. I was on the fence about this place to begin with, that was until I read the badshoe.com and read about their experience with Bobby Joe. I could only hope that is who we had. So we thought about it and decided to keep it and not go back to Epcot. So we wandered out to the buses, I think everyone was awake now because it was busy. We went to MK and hopped aboard the african queen. Yes, this is either the same boat that we took to the contemporary or one just like it. Only difference is this boat only went to WL. So we had about 50 minutes to get there and I knew that was plenty of time. It was an enjoyable ride the captain made a special thing about the kids.I think he let them honk the horn or something I am forgetting details since it was 6 months ago!

Here is the totem pole! We took this for my SIL when she bought her land there had been an old indian that lived there and while SIL was clearing the back half of the land they found a totem pole and took it down. Well, let me just say from that day they took it down it rained for almost a month straight. Even on her wedding day! I thought if she had a picture of one her luck would change!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07182.jpg

The inside geyser! The boys liked this especially with all the coins in there, yes the boys were trying to figure out how to get them out!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07184.jpg
Whispering canyon Cafe! The whole reason for coming to the resort next door! I checked in and we sat in the lobby for a while because 1. we were early and 2. They were busy! As we sat We saw some of the famous things happening! There were boys ages 5-10 running around the christmas tree with wooden horses saying "I WILL BE GOOD ON MY VACATION, I WILL BE GOOD ON MY VACATION" Every now and again the waitress would yell from the restaurant "I CAN'T HEAR YOU" and they would get louder. I thought it was cute because isn't that the purpose of eating there is the fun of the restaurant!
So finally we got called and seated. Now Samantha had read about how to get your waiter/waitress going by asking silly questions and wearing universal clothing. So she wanted to do this so she planned to wear her THING 1 sweatshirt because it was universal. The waiter never said anything about it. Sam was getting mad.So for appetizers Mom Sam and I had the western chip and dip. Stephen had the sausage and cheese plate. He said it was ok. We loved the chips and dip. the for lunch Stephen and Sam and maybe mom had the Angus bacon burger! The boys had I think mac and cheese And I got the Buffalo Bacon Cheeseburger topped with bacon, cheddar, spicy chipotle mayonnaise, lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. That is why it was called a buffalo burger right because it was hot and spicy like BUFFALO WINGS right????:lmao: Well that was my thinking!:worried: NO I took a bite of that burger and I was like boy this has a funny taste! I was just about to ask sam for a bite of hers thinking that I got a bad burger and the waiter asked how is the bison? I was like it is actually buffalo isn't it! He was like it is so much better for you than the average hamburger not as much fat. I had taken about three bites big bites! I tried to take another bite after he had told me that it was really freakin buffalo. I couldn't do it! I gaged! I ate my fries. good thing this wasn't 50's primetime cafe because I wouldn't have gotten dessert! Speaking of desserts, I had the banana foster and sam and zac traded and she had the worms in dirt Ty had watermelon. I forgot what Stephen and my mom had.

Now Sam had just had about enough of our waiter not joking around with us. She asked him ( I forgot his name sorry it was not the famous bobby joe) I thought you do crazy things here in this restaurant! Why aren't you doing any? He said HMMM it is quiet I wonder why? and left. She was steaming. The kids all had to go to the bathroom and the waiter asked my mom what her granddaughters name was and my mom told him Samantha. I had all I could do not to laugh when she came back to the table. The waiter promptly went over to the loud speaker and asked for everyones attention! Yes she asked for this!!!!:hyper: He said he would like to brings everyones attention to table 18, of course no one knows what table is what. So he say this table in the corner! Please bring your attention to the Young lady Samantha in the red sweatshirt. She wants to know if we do crazy things here in this restaurant, so lets give her a taste of what we do here in the Whispering Canyon Cafe! He brought her over a wooden horse and had her do a lap around the restaurant while they played music and everyone waved their napkins over their heads. She was NOT LIKING IT! She was like "this isn't what I meant". I was like "you asked for it!!!!:lmao:" So she reluctantly went almost crying because she was so embarrassed.

We thought it was funny and like to remind her of it quite often. I told you I was a mean MOMMY!

[stagemomx3]

:rotfl2: She so deserved that! I can't wait to get home and actually see the pictures.

[KatGarcia]

LOL! We had a fun time @ WCC this past trip. I dunno if I'd eat buffalo either!

[Donald is #1]

So after roaming around the boardwalk and letting the kids pitch fits because I wouldn't let them play in the arcade. I am such a mean mommy!

:rotfl2: This reminds me so much of my trips with my sister and oldest nephew. Whether it was at Disney or on a cruise, he always wanted to play in the arcade. :confused3 Of course my sister let him. I would be ...Come on now. You are at Disney. You don't need to spend time in an arcade. :rotfl2:

Kat I thought you had disappeared! We thought it was ok the interaction wasn't what we had hoped for since we had to drag it out of the waiter. No I would have never NEVER eaten Buffalo if that is what I thought it was. Dh is a hunter and I won't even eat the deer meat. Although I had moose this past winter in Maine, ground moose, my dad put it the chili and I didn't even know until after the third bowel when he told us!

:rotfl2: This reminds me so much of my trips with my sister and oldest nephew. Whether it was at Disney or on a cruise, he always wanted to play in the arcade. :confused3 Of course my sister let him. I would be ...Come on now. You are at Disney. You don't need to spend time in an arcade. :rotfl2:
:welcome:
That is what I told the boys we spent a lot of money to come to disney and I didn't spend it so we could go to the arcade. I could have brought them to Disney Quest but I would have never gotten them out of there!

Yes I saw that.:rotfl:

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So after we ate at the whispering Canyon We went back to start packing. The kids went to the pool again ! After we packed a lot we headed to DTD. I couldn't wait to get shopping. I wanted to go to the Scrapebooking shop and spend money!!! One problem the kids don;t want to shop they want to do rides and anything but shop! I make a deal with them. We will go to the toy shops and look around and then we will do some mommy shopping! So with some more negotaitions we were off to Lego Land! Negotaitions were a little tough because zac's blood sugar as for the whole trip was way out of wack and he gets a little cranky when it is like that. We stopped at the World of Disney and tried to talk him in there nope wasn't happening, yes I am one of those mothers that caves and lets her kids do as they want within reason if it saves my face in public! Bad mommy! So as we talked Zac into WOD I tried to take a picture of Stitch the one hanging over the door. Well guess what he spits! He spit right at me and got my camera lens. Well it must be some strange alien thing because there was grease in his spit! So the blurr you see on the following picture is Stitches spit! JOY! So as promised we were off to LEGO LAND MANIA!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07187.jpg
I thought the people were so cool!
The kids loved the lake monster! Since we have one in our lake here we thought we would take a picture since there are limited pictures of our Champy (we live near lake champlain).
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07188.jpg

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07189.jpg
Goodness the boys found the playset! It took all I had to get them out of here! They would have stayed the night. If DH hadn't been such a pain in the butt that night I would have left him there to watch them while I shopped! But he whined that he wanted to shop too! How to ruin my fun.

Finally I talk them into going into the store. Now my boys are on the younger side for legos, how do I know that because I tend to step on them on the floor! Pieces are left EVERYWHERE! So we take pictures of what you can make with legos when you don't loose the pieces!AHEM!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07194.jpg

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07196.jpg
Sam thought this was cool and wanted to show her friends so she very nicely asked for a picture. Granted! niceness gets you everything!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07197.jpg

So now we are getting hungry and we start looking. I really tried to get the kids not to see the Mcdonalds but Sam said can we eat at McDonalds again. It was cool the last time! I had to put my foot down this time and say NO because last time we paid OOP and that was a cheap meal this time DDP we were not paying OOP for anything! So I had heard about The Earl of Sandwich and decided that is where we were going..... So didn't everyone else in DTD. It was packed. DH and kids found a place to sit and Mom and I went to order. That was fun with at least 2 cell phone conversations and sam running back and forth we finally got our meals ordered with a lot of confusion. Again the kids didn't want what was on the kids menu! It had been about a half hour from entering the line and getting our food, and this is what I found back at the table!

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07205.jpg


Finally off to WORLD OF DISNEY! We had to make it fun by going by stitch again, and through the pirates enterance.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07206.jpg

We spent at least an hour or two in there well you kinda have to to fight the crowds. We ended up loosing my mom and lucy(sam) and then mom phoned us and asked if we had seen Sam I was like no and I turned to look and there she was she had found us! We bought about 6 coffee mugs and then the kids had their own stuff to buy what a pain at check out. Then I had to be difficult and have it all shipped home! That took some more time, But I did find the watch that I had so wanted at POR and I got it cheaper at WOD, Disney Visa! woohoo!

Finally we left there and grandma and zac had a picture taken with the Captain.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07207.jpg


We walked byGhiaradeli's soda fountain and boy did it smell GOOD! I couldn't ask my son who's blood sugar was already sky high not to get anything so I was a good mom and kept walking!
As we walked on our way to the scrapebooking store the kids wanted to look at the pins and they wanted their picture taken with the statues. lLook at Ty's face. He wanted to be like DONALD!
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb47/snuffy1991/Disney%20Christmas%20Pictures%2007/DsineyXMAStrip07208.jpg
So ofcourse I had now dragged my kids into another store! what Drama we had! We diverted a melt down with a bribe. BAD MOMMY AND GRANDMA! We told Zac to pick out a few things for his scrape book the was waiting for him at home. Grandma bought them each one and stuff to go in it! Mom and I went kinda overboard not that they had much but still we went overboard. I told mom put it on your disney visa and save .... CM says only at WOD can you save money! I almost said put everything back and we will head back to WOD. but we didn't and we had everything shipped home from there too!

We thought it was funny and like to remind her of it quite often. I told you I was a mean MOMMY!
This was FREAKIN FUNNY!! Good for that CM. A memory that will last forever.

However, it looks like the hubby was enjoying himself way more than he should!!! Not really, but man is he cracking up!!!!! His face is RED!

OMGOSH your Earl sandwiches look WONDERFUL! I love that place.

What a bummer it's almost over. You got some great pictures at DTD.

Laughing at the Sam and whispering canyon cafe story. I am nervous about trying this place when I go, but now I know if they aren't performing don't ask them too.

I really wish they would get more variety of scrapbooking stuff there, it seems like the only thing that really changes in the kits is the year, which is nice but everything else stays the same and it gets boring. I still buy it though and will probably buy it again in 2009.

I bet that was a fun trip to scrapbook, Christmas at Disney!!! WOW! I am only on day 2 of my trip in my scrapbook and I can already tell it's going to take 2 scrapbooks. Have you started yet? IT makes me want to go back this minute, I usually watch the videos we took while I work on it, inspiration ya know?!

Will you be posting a few pictures of the pages you scrapbooked?:)

Today was Zachary's trip to Parc Safari in Canada. It brought back memories of the safari well kind of.... Animal kingdom is sooooooo MUCH BETTER!!!
These poor animals looked rough! I did get up close and personal with a giraffe. Boy what a HUGE TONGUE they have! I was mad because not only did I run out of space on my SD card but my battery died, great planning ahead.
This is the Safari part there is also a part that you walk around and there is deer to feed and OLD rides. My kids I guess are ride snobs:snooty: they are spoiled from Disney
Anywho here the pictures from the Safari part.

Yes that is my hand touching the buffalo

Yes that is my hand touching the buffalo


:scared1:

It looks like you got up close and personnel with a camel too!

[ILMICKEY]

Mnnmmmmmmmm. Buffalo! Did you feel closer to the animal because you had him for DINNER??????:rotfl2: :lmao: !!!

Great pics. What do they do with the animals when there is 10 feet of snow? A safari in Canada. Who'd of thunk??

[DISNEY4XMAS]

:scared1:

Yeah when you have carrots in the car anything gets really close. We even had to put up the windows while the ostrich was around I didn't trust them. I had zebras and giraffes and camels oh and don't forget the buffalo sticking their massive heads in the window.

Mnnmmmmmmmm. Buffalo! Did you feel closer to the animal because you had him for DINNER??????:rotfl2: :lmao: !!! It was funny that you said because as I was patting the buffalo I was saying that... I ate your brother for lunch in Disney!!! The other parent in the car was laughing so hard

Great pics. What do they do with the animals when there is 10 feet of snow? A safari in Canada. Who'd of thunk??
That is what we were wondering! I know there is houses for some of the animals but like the Rhino and the yaks and all the buffalo I don't know what they do with them. They get the same amount of snow there as here because we were only 15 mins from home, but sometimes that can be a lot.

This place used to be awesome, I must say it is showing it's age. The first time we went there I was four. YES THAT IS 30 YEARS AGO:rotfl2: but the animals used to roam freely including the lions, then some stupid guy didn't listen and got out of his car and guess what... he got mauled by the lion. So Lions got put in cages and now it is all different there are no more monkeys they used to climb all over the cars. One time all the monkeys escaped and they were in my cousins back yard hanging from the trees. I think they have the same rides there that were there 30 years ago!:rotfl2:

I love, love, love the giraffe shots. :love:

OK so I better finish this bad boy up!

December 31,2007

We were procrastinating! We did not want to leave our Little cabin in Disney. Heck who would! We all knew that this was our last day in Disney! We slept in till 830. We started packing and decided that we needed to eat. So we were off to Trails end. We had not finished packing just so you know. We got seated right away. I think we were all in mourning of our trip being over because no one ate all that much. We asked for the bill and now we have used all of our table credits so this one is on us! YIKES!:scared1: $164.00:faint: Now I know why we did the DDP!
Back to the cabin, we finish packing and repacking deciding what was being sent home in the box and what was going in the suitcases. Let me also remind you that it is 80 in Fl and 30 back in NY. So it was necessary to have warm clothes in our carry on. We call the front desk to have someone come and help us with our box being shipped home via UPS and out luggage. The phone rings and it is the mousekeepers asking when we are leaving because they want to get in there in CLEAN for the next family. I wanted to say thanks for rubbing salt in the wounds! I told them we are just waiting for the shuttle to come pick us up. The shuttle comes and brings us and all of our gear to the outpost. Mom checks us out and I ask about shipping the box back home and they respond with HMM I don't know who you do that because we never have packages shipped out of here. I call UPS to schedule a Pick-up. I wait and wait with crappy music playing on the line. Finally I get a person. I tell here that I have a box going back to NY she says well the only way you can ship it is to do it overnight because today is a holiday and they aren't doing regular pick ups! HUH????:confused: But today isn't a holiday! Oh but for UPS it is she said. Well, how much is it going to cost me to do it over night??:scared1: Sit down for this!:scared1: $171.85 ARE YOU NUTS!!! Well, can I schedule it for another day. It isn't things we need tomorrow! I am sorry she said No can do. I tell her that I will figure another way. Now it is almost Noon and our bus comes at 3 to pick us up! Looks like we aren't getting into a park today! Another call to UPS still no luck! I ask at the front desk do you have a computer that I can get on to UPS and maybe get it scheduled that was. Gee no we don't you would have to go to over to the boardwalk or contemporary . I don't have time to do that! So I ended up calling back UPS and Paying the $171.85 to have it shipped home. I scheduled the pick up for that day. We now have less than two hours before we have to be loaded up on the magical express. We decided that there isn't enough time to do anything really. So we headed to the settlement depot and buy a few items and have them shipped home since all luggage was FULL. Then off to the playground to let the kids run free. We are getting somewhat thirsty and I said I will go and get us each a soda. I was thinking that we had some snack credits left. So I got us each an ice cream and a soda. I still have 16 snack credits left. Yes, I didn't use them wisely to have that many left over. We sit and watch the kids and I got to thinking I didn't bring home any gifts for the nieces and nephews. I sent Sam into get Lollipops with the remaining credits. It is now 215 and we decided to head back to the outpost and wait for the bus. Our day had been a very crappy one. With no excitement and we spent a lot of MONEY!
At the outpost we asked for our luggage and assured that all paperwork for the UPS shipment was OK. The CM told me please don't put your credit card # on there for reasons that everyone knows. So I skip that step because I have already paid for it over the phone. As we wait the CM that brought out of luggage talks with us and tells us different things FW and we asked where did all the peacocks go? He tells us that they were a nuisance and were roosting on the RV's. Then they decided to get rid of a lot of trees because of the danger of them falling during hurricanes. What a shame. The bus was running late so we talked some more about the college program and how a lot of the kids don't get that if they call in and they swipe their card to get into a park it is noted somewhere and they get in trouble or FIRED!

Finally our bus is there, we load on and just sit and relax. This has been the most stressful day of the whole trip! As we are sitting there I over hear the radio Disney's internal radio and they were stating that they were SHUTTING DOWN THE MK. NO MORE GUEST ALLOWED IN! I was glad we were leaving! And with that we were off!

AS we get to the airport I told the boys we need to change. I stripped them right there in the terminal. WE older folk each then took turns getting changed in the bathroom. As we get through security I forget to mention that there are diabetic supplies in the bags and no one ever said BOO about them. We rushed through and realized that we need to eat! We have about 45 minutes till the plane takes off. I jump in line for Hot dogs that is what everyone is getting no crying or whining!:laughing: We get our food and I tell everyone lets go sit at the terminal gate and eat there. So all inhaled our food so that we were done before the plane gets there. We waited and waited no plane.. Oh wait here it comes 20 minutes late. Wait no one is getting off. What is going on look at all the security come? I guess there was a drunk gentleman that was causing a stir and they let him depart first with security following close behind. So in all now we are an hour late. That just ate up our lay over in DC. We have a non eventful flight to Dc. The captain announces that all flights are being held for us and gives up our gate numbers. We each take a child by the hand and we run. We get to our gate and they announce that the family that they were waiting for has arrived BUT they are now HAVING TECHNICAL difficulties with the plan! OH GREAT! I am now thinking how long are we going to be stuck in DC. I promptly called my work and said that we are stuck in DC and no ETA on arriving home so I would not be into work On jan 1. I hang up and low and behold all problems with the plane are resolved. Gee now I get a day to recover. Again another uneventful Flight, we drive home I think I fell asleep on the ferry across Lake Champlain , why not everyone else in the car was. Finally we make it home it is now almost 2 am and we were bushed!

Fast Forward 2 days, mind you I am still waiting for my package that was shipped next day air to come! I was in the shower getting ready for work and my DH comes and says Fort Wilderness is on the phone for you! I get out of the shower and the CM says that UPS won't take the package because my CC # isn't on the package. I was like ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! That should have arrived here today! We know and we are very sorry. No mind you I am soaked and it is -5 outside where is my purse with the credit card # in my CAR OUTSIDE. She says she can wait! I was said no you don't understand it is 5 below zero and I am SOAKING WET. I find Dh wallet and pray that we have the same number and at that point I really don't care if it is or not. Now here is my question if they weren't planning on picking up my package for two days then why couldn't I have scheduled my pick up for then??? And then I wouldn't have had to pay all that money! I did get my package the very next day though.

Over all we had a great time and know what to do and not to do with Zac's sugar (we think) the next time.
We loved the dining plan, I haven't tried the new one because it started the day after we left so we will try it the next time.
We have also all agreed with the exception of mom that we will try somewhere else to stay. We loved FW but we would like to try other places.
Everyone is excited to go back and we have decided to go back in September of 09.
We have now talked my Brother (it wasn't hard) into going with us and are now trying for my dad and his Girlfriend and I have dropped many subtle hints to my In-laws.
AS by HINTS I mean I have calculated the cost at 08 prices and emailed them all the cost with flights included. Like I said SUBTLE HINTS:rotfl2: :lmao: .
This will be all their first time going. My brother was supposed to go on this trip but his girlfriend at the time forbid him to go because that is where THEY WERE GOING ON THEIR HONEYMOON!! They had been dating 7 months when we made the plans. And he had Not asked her ANYTHING!

I HAVE MADE A LIST OF THE RESTAURANTS THAT WE WILL DO THE NEXT TIME already! We are hoping for free dining! We are also hoping for low crowd levels anything after the christmas crowds anything will feel low and I think I am going to give tour guide mike again.

Thanks to everyone that read my report! It has been nice!

I don't think it bothered me about the price what bothered me was the fact that I couldn't schedule a pick up for two days later and it still didn't ship for two days. But you just brought up a good point I should bring up with one of the guys I know that is the head of ups up here!

[scottny]

that price is ridiculous.

funny about changing in the terminal. I saw others doing that too.

I didn't like the whole shuttle thing in DC but I guess it is better than having to go through security twice. Yeah the price was a bit ridiculous! Considering it only cost me 30 to send it to FL.

I did the shuttle thing In Washington and did not like it. But like you said better than going through security.

Well have Fun!! I am glad you enjoyed my report!
one suggestion is try out tour guide Mike! we didn't and we had awful waits for the rides. Another person that was there the same time as us she didn't have to bad of waits. We are going to try to use TOURGUIDE Mike for our next trip in sept.09.
i hope you enjoy your trip! Ours was a trip of a life time!
