Heres a Fast run down about us ..
Let’s see where do I start …
My hubby Jason and I have been married for 8 years now, we are both Disney NUTS. from our Disney honeymoon to us moving to orlando area & living 5 Mins from Walt Disney World for 5 1/2 years. along the way we had two Great kids. James & Alexis !! They love Disney just as much as we do . James’ 1st trip to Disney world was at 6 months old & Alexis’ was only 4/5 weeks old when she started going. Back then we would go aleast once a week and had fl res APs tickets because we live 5 mins But now that we live in the New Orleans Area we Take a trip to orlando aleast once a year, Because the kids miss disney so much ...

bentleygirl22

07-05-2008, 10:37 PM

Hi! It appears that we will be at WDW at the same time. :thumbsup2

You have a beautiful family and I am just a teeny bit jealous that you also married a Disney nut. (I married someone who enjoys Disney and luckily who is tolerant of Disney Nuts...but he is far from a nut himself.)

Anyhoo...I have enjoyed reading your Pre-trip report so far and thanks to you I may possibly avoid a LD mistake...should we avoid the park on Labor Day weekend??? I had planned on hitting *gasp* MK on Sunday. I was hoping that Sunday would be a bit less crowded...but maybe not. We have morning ressies at Crystal Palace and I figured we'd just go on and do a "loose" MK day...what do you think?

very cool , What part of Atlanta ga are you in I used to live in clayton county near the airport along time ago .. and we are planning on moving back to Ga ..
yes anyhoo..lol
thank you for reading the my pre trip report ..
Some times the Parks are packed on labor day weekend but the tuesday after it is dead .. I would do a water park or something else unless you can deal with crowds , we will be in and out of the parks that weekend because we still have our Fl season pass that we bought last year , so it will not hurt us to walk in to a park see a crowd and walk right back out ( know what i mean ) yes a loose day at MK sounds like a plann because if it gets to crowded you can always leave and come back for the EMH when it will be less crowded ...

thanks again for reading and hope you stay around ...

9 days worth of mousekeeping envelopes .. For those wanting to know ... We tip $2.00 per day - But We will tip a few dollars more if the mousekeeper leaves cute towel animals for the kids..

Oh I got them from http://www.themouseforless.com/downloads/trip/mousekeeping.shtml and just personalized them with our names and printed themouseforless.com on the back side ..

I got a email tonight about the new T-rex cafe here's what it says...

Downtown Disney Dino Invasion!!

But don't get prehysterical—it's a cool new restaurant

Kevin Lansberry is spending a lot of time with Tyrannosauruses, Velociraptors and Allosauruses lately, even for a Disney executive. Of course, that's to be expected when a thundering herd of life-size creatures are on their way to become the "cast" of a highly unique new interactive entertainment, dining and shopping experience coming in early November to the Downtown Disney® Marketplace.

A prehistoric family adventure in dining with dinos

"At our new T-Rex Café™, there will be several life-size dinosaurs right out front," this enthusiastic Vice President of Downtown Disney Operations told us. "You'll be able to see a full-size T-Rex, of course, over 35 feet long and 15 feet tall. But this T-Rex has competition—like a 135-foot-long replica of the Argentinosaurus, which is not only the largest dinosaur, but quite possibly also the largest and heaviest animal ever to walk the earth!"

Schussler Creative, Inc., in collaboration with Landry's Restaurants, Inc., developed the amazing concept for this new dining experience. The awesome new structure will have a towering ice volcanic crater, or "caldera," with cascading waterfalls, lush greenery and foliage. With the some incredible lighting to add dramatic effect, it will be as though you are transported back in time.

Many worlds within its "world"

"Inside there will be several different environments, all designed to tell a story and provide an educational, interactive experience of the lives and times of these magnificent creatures," said Kevin. "The Ice Age Room, for instance, resurrects the wooly mammoth, complete with its baby, surrounded by man-made snow. The Fern Forest Room is the home of a Triceratops and a Stegosaurus, and their babies, too."

T-Rex Café™ abounds with one amazing area after another, from the Shark Room and the Seqouia Room to the Geo-Tech Room and the Aqua Room—where you can sit in a jellyfish booth and appear to dine underwater beneath a whole school of fascinating creatures. Just off the Aqua Room, you'll be greeted by a giant animated octopus sitting on top of the Shark Bar, motioning you in for a specialty drink and a view of the 6,000-gallon shark tank.

Young fans will have a way to take home their own personal dinosaurs at Build-A-Dino™, Where Best Friendosaurs Are Made™. If this sounds like a prehistoric twist on something your kids already know and love, you're right—it was developed by Build-A-Bear Workshops®, Inc. in partnership with T-Rex. Kids (and more than a few adults like us) can choose from several prehistoric animal toys with a variety of accessories and outfits.

If you like the heat, check out the Kitchen of Fire™

"I'm probably the most excited about the geothermal region, because it's going to be a really different experience altogether. It will have a 'Kitchen of Fire™' with a 26-foot-high wall where you'll see lava oozing over ancient geological formations. A two-story waterfall will cascade down, mixing with hot water and sending up steam. That's going to be neat."

And from the cutting-edge kitchen facilities will emerge a wide variety of pastas, seafood, salads, signature entrées, sandwiches and delectable desserts.

The magic of imagination

"Steve Schlusser has been working on the concept for over a decade," said Marty Sherman, Regional Vice President of Landry's. "He's fascinated by dinosaurs and is dedicated to giving Guests great experiences, especially kids."

"Steve is a person extremely passionate about Disney," Kevin added. "I think he is probably the most passionate person, about whatever it is he is doing, that I've ever met."

So, this November, when your stomach growls, you can follow the sound to the new T-Rex Café, A Prehistoric Family Adventure—A Place to Eat, Shop, Explore and Discover™.

very cool huh.... to bad it is opening in Nov because we will miss it this year , i can't wait to see this place on next years trip to the world...

OK Should we BBB OR Not ....

Those that have done it, is it worth the money ?
or should we just do our own BBB in the room with Me fixing her up like they would ??

I want her to do it if its worth it ? I just don't want to waste they money that could be going for something more magical for her ?? :confused3

so guys tell me about it ?? is it worth it or not ?? post photo's help me out !!

I mean, don't get me wrong, it can get pricey. But, it was worth it watching Hollie get made up and she loved everyone there!! She just kept swinging her head all night looking at the hair piece they put in there! She just loved it!! We are actually going to do it again in October but this time we are getting her the bun in her hair instead of the diva. Plus, I actually bought her the Princess Aurora dress from disney shopping on their halloween sale for $19 bucks. Down there, the dress was waaaay more than that! Here is Hollie after she was done!

I completely agree! She loved it so much and just loved walking around swining that hair piece everywhere so she could see it!

I say do it!! Alexis will absolutely love it!!
We did it the day of our MVMCP so we didn't lose any time in the parks because we weren't going till later anyways!

Hey everyone .. 1st i would like to thank you all for reading my pre report ....

2nd we have 45 more days till disney :cool1: :cool1:
in 15 days we can start our disney countdown wall woohoo:banana: :banana:

Ok guys I found a list and I'm planning on doing all but one of them this year ...

1. Visit Tink’s Treasures (a little shop in the Magic Kingdom) to get a glimse of Tink. There is a dresser by the door. If you peek inside the upper left keyhole, you may just see Tink.

2.If you are one of the first guests in the store Tink’s Treasures when the park opens in the morning, you may just be able to wake her up.( we did this last year, so we will not be doing this one to give others a chance at the magic)

3. Find the hidden paintbrushes on Tom Sawyer’s Island. Take them to a cast member and receive a fast pass.

4. Take a closer look at the Cinderella Fountain. Find the water fountain to the left of Cinderella Castle as you exit the rear (and next to Tinker Bell’s Treasures). It has Cinderella in it holding a bird. Stand directly in front of Cinderella and curtsy to her, you will see the gold crown behind her painted onto the wall go onto her head. The purpose? To explain the story of Cinderella in just one glance - rags to riches.

5. Stop by Tony’s Town Square Restaurant to see a tribute to Lady and the Tramp. See the pups’ pawprints in front of the restaurant at the front of Main St. At the back of the restaurant dining room, there is a beautiful 3-paned dark blue window, through which you can see the shadowy silhouettes of Lady and the Tramp sharing their late-night meal of spaghetti.

6. Find Tink outside Big Thunder Railroad Mountain. Most people are aware of the many hidden Mickey’s spread throughout Walt Disney World, but here you can find a hidden Tinkerbell. Walk to the exit from Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Behind the fence (on the left side as you exit the ride), between two metal carts and behind a cactus is a cutout in the reddish rock that resembles a side profile of Tinkerbell.

7. See if you can hear Stitch outside the castle. Find the ledge on the side of the castle and take a seat. If you are quiet you may be able to hear Stitch giggle and tell you to be quiet because he’s hiding.

Last year my kids went to Visit Tink’s Treasures at rope dope and was able to wake up tink .. if you guys get that chance take it because it is so magical.
you can see them wake tink up here

the kids asked me if we were going to wake up tink this trip and i told them no , lets someone else get some magic... beside you will have alot of new magic this year ..:thumbsup2 which made them happy.

Till next time

Your ptr is great. Your children are adorable.
I'm a kindergarten teacher (and used to teach first grade), so I really love that age. If you get them hooked on Disney from birth, they'll be hooked for life.

So sad that you moved out of Orlando, but Louisiana is just beautiful. My dad's family is from N.O and I love it there. Best seafood ever!

I love the mousekeeping envelopes. So creative!

And I love your list of things to do at WDW. I'm going to try to do some of them next month!!!

Can't wait to read more popcorn::

Awwwww, that sounds fun!!!!!!!!! I didn't know about the Stitch at the castle and the siloutte of tink at BTMR!!!

About BBB, if anything do the cheaper package. We did the middle one and honestly they could do without the nail polish. It had chipped off by the end of the night anyways! So, just do the Coach package!
heather,
I think the stitch thing is going to be so cool and the kids are going to love it .. so we will be doing that ...

I just joined in...you guys have some cool stuff planned! I'm happy to see you booked BBB. No, it's not worth the money. It was worth the old price of hairstyle for $35 not $50! However it is something every lttle girl needs to do at least once. It's not about the style she sports all day...it's about the feeling she has while getting it. The BBB chair is a little girls dream come true! We're doing it one last time this year (because we've never been to the new one in the MK) and DD said she wanted to do it. We're going to do the hair and nails package but I bought my dresses from Ms B ahead of time. She sells the same WDW dresses for 29.99 versus $65 there. Your DD is going to LOVE BBB!

We have another thing in common too...our kids are in the movies. :goodvibes We're about an hour from Screen Gems in Wilmington, NC. We don't go as much now that gas is $4 a gallon but they've worked a few times. I love it! They love it! And it looks like ya'll do too! :yay:

And those cards you made...they are so darn cute! I love the Disney stick figures. :cutie:
thanks for joining us here ... Well... We talked about it and we are not going to do BBB this year. we will do our own BBB.. and we will try it for real next year for sure ..
Yes we do love working on movies ... its alittle slow right now they haven't worked in a month.. but its ok they got to have a nice break before school started..
thanks again for reading ...

Hi Amanda! can You belive how close we are!!!:cool1:

yes you will be able to see my room from a mile...HAhaha:rotfl:

ChaCha (text 242 242) is a free text message service for anyone who needs an answer to a question. The idea is that any phone can be a smart phone. What time does that movie start? Why is my boyfriend such a jerk? How far is the Earth from the Sun? ANYTHING! Except stuff pertaining to illegal activities..
Anyway my job is to answer all those questions and to do it well. So if you need the number to a cab company. Need to know the score of the Lakers game. Need to know what time Burger King closes ect. Text 242242 and ask! It's free! Of course your mobile company's standard text message rates apply.
best part i get to work at home on my computer.

So, since you passed the test, does that mean now you will get text messages now and when you answer them for people, you will get paid?

Is that what that means? That is pretty cool.

Here's hoping we all have a great time!:rotfl: Like it's possible that we wouldn't!!!:rotfl2: I mean really!

Day 1,
Jason had called the day before and told me get things together we are leaving a day early due to the storm heading toward us, But don't tell the kids ! so we didn't . we sent them to school this morning. After they got on the bus we started packing up the SUV. After we had everything in the car, we started going though the house unplugging everything. Putting the computers in safe areas...hopefully. We hope to come home to a house with no damage. Here’s hoping!
So after being done we locked up the house and headed to get the kids from school it was 9:29 am, I walked in the school told them I needed to get the kids we are heading out of town early due to the storm. So they called the kids down and we walk out to the car...the kids get in and we start to drive, then i start taping them... we tell them we are leaving for disney now .. Here’s the video...
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/Populartot1/th_100_6744.jpg (http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/Populartot1/?action=view&current=100_6744.flv)

Then after Alexis was super happy .. it took her a few mins to understand...
Here's me on the way ...
http://a682.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/109/l_053cad014a3cd6f25996c336c73178b9.jpg
Jason driving...
http://a119.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/9/l_4e1ba17be919865483c9f829e83d7fb6.jpg
The kids playing their DS games ...
Alexis ...
http://a58.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/28/l_419975e4a99f5788b0882422f003f7d9.jpg
James ...
http://a592.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/59/l_909cfe0ecb11e7f599545fffaf19bf37.jpg

So we are off...

We finally get to the Florida’s welcome center.... I love welcome centers, I got some free OJ and some hotel books and took some photos of the kids at the welcome to Florida sign... It's a have to do thing....

http://a238.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/115/l_a8e319288bc60b687f726195d7c37215.jpg

http://a43.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/39/l_dfe372690c609a1e0c159a4aa1196b22.jpg

They are just too cute
http://a980.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/78/l_f72ee64667afd35610ee97332247d4db.jpg
I love Alexis in her big sunglasses....
http://a749.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/47/l_0add9aa6bb1017d8fb87c2127865e21c.jpg
James is such a cool dude!
http://a72.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/52/l_817d9037df6759ad2b41e2c0054843f7.jpg

So now we are back in the car and as we drive we see bus after bus heading toward New Orleans - we think, that’s where they are going -

By now we hear the path is still heading towards New Orleans..... So at that point I was glad we left early because now we beat everyone out of town, because tomorrow we knew the road would have been a mad house...

on the way Jason says Mandy call Disney and see if we can check in early and add two nights on at pop so we don’t have to stay outside Disney, so I call and pop is fully booked only mods are open so we say no thank you , that we will see you on Saturday then.. So off to the hotel outside of Disney.

We got to the hotel outside of Disney around 10:30pm this will be our home for 2 sleeps before we check into the Disney. We got it for $34.95 a night not bad…

We get in the room take showers and watch Stacy on the TV. Then off to sleep…

Day 2 , do we go to disney world tomorrow ?

Day 2
I woke up around 8:30am and Alexis woke up soon after and we woke up the boys. We sat and watched the weather channel to see if we are going to lose our home... I guess we will see, we saw on the news that 700 buses are heading toward to New Orleans (we knew it… we saw them yesterday)

We got up and started getting dressed and ready to head out for the day. We went to Denny’s to eat, then went to Wal-Mart for snacks and cokes for the week at pop… after on the way back to the hotel Jason said lets go to Disney .. I was like ok lets go!... remember we still have our season pass so we have unlimited days at Disney till Sept 16 , so we took the stuff into the hotel and got back into the car .. We still hadn’t told the kids we were heading to Disney today so when they saw the Disney buses they started freaking out...they were super happy.. we go to Magic kingdom and head in then a nice lady stops us and says we are leaving do you want our double stroller *score* I thanked the lady for giving us some extra magic.. :thumbsup2
Off we went to tomorrow land.
We ride the people mover
me and james

jason & Alexis
http://a351.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/124/l_725ca9232e634c8fbfcd913ee12cec86.jpg
then Jason & James rode ...
space mountain
while Alexis & I did stitch,
and then we all rode the race cars,
http://a733.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/25/l_f6dc712c08db13eb971fc81c7a13ebe4.jpg
http://a151.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/48/l_4eb15f3ed4d9ceab5ec016464a1b158e.jpg
then off to tea cups
http://a957.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/84/l_d6de3cd304a4ac3d439a568e98348e04.jpg
The place was dead… the longest wait was 40 mins at peter pan so we headed over to splash mountain
http://a776.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/55/l_d3faa71572f1d84d6e76a7c82117c437.jpg
http://a81.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/38/l_e9db852d1eb105f4629b327516fc77f8.jpg
here's our redneck photo of us on the ride ( a photo of a photo)
http://a203.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/35/l_e58044c6bf735403e241855fd132c40a.jpg

and then rode the train back to main street.
So we could head out to beach club to go to beaches and cream.
http://a762.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/82/l_65a98ea0438ada8bb6383ad74191c689.jpg
as you can see we are at the boardwalk not beach club.. we got a little lost on the way but it was fun getting lost at disney for the 1st time..lol
we finally make it to beaches and cream ,
http://a961.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/17/l_4353ce67c99780d25d95a42774a5cdb0.jpg
and it was dead also we got a nice booth.
http://a223.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/89/l_bac8f8347409949136d0b8bee876a8ee.jpg
We order the kids
James got a hotdog
http://a210.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/104/l_f680555d442d1ca9823b07efd62f50f1.jpg
Alexis got a grill cheese
http://a425.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/10/l_64c858ccfb6dcb72f79a387bb8dae5e0.jpg
Jason & I shared an order of fries and a No Way Jose (Mmmmmm it was so good)
http://a788.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/27/l_5accf106d2eaa4bb16b273afaffe5783.jpg

http://a268.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/100/l_ed67798167e7b7e41739f072581e4433.jpg
This meal was great... and we will be back...
We paid out of pocket for this meal and it was so worth the $29.95

Then we walked around the resort
http://a217.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/88/l_08e239b3f2bc277ef9a90123fc3ce078.jpg
oh my gosh we love it there…
http://a544.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/20/l_1386a76733f5346c7085fe04f5161a0f.jpg

then we head back to downtown Disney then get back to the car and head out of Disney back to the hotel … we stayed the rest of the night just hanging in the hotel ..
while the boys played the ds games , Alexis & I had girl time. I did alexis and mine toes with mickey heads ...
sorry the photos didn't come out to good ...

James playing his game as always

Alexis she is such a diva
http://a660.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/123/l_5e93537558b0efdc9f42abad7b88cca3.jpg
I guess i didn't get one of jason but he was the driver ...:thumbsup2

so we see the disney world sign..
http://a778.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/115/l_db6dcc8bf933e29f144ccac6b76eb0f9.jpg

and before you knew it we are at pop!
http://a167.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/71/l_f598b97990b3fb37dc6499db9140f4b6.jpg

We walk in at 9:30am
http://a726.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/13/l_87f27c2a2cf342267ecdd188f2eac6b5.jpg
Jason & the kids James with his darth varder mickey & Alexis with darth varder goofy..
http://a721.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/118/l_b4cbf2d78a87045cf185ebcd5d059940.jpg
the place seemed packed for that early in the morning ... we had gotten there early in hopes to get 60’s 1st floor near the pool but no luck, but we did get the 50’s 1st floor. very close to the main building,

We get our dining & room keys, we wouldn’t know what room we got till 1pm
so we left and went to walk around the hotel.
and took some fun photo's of the kids
http://a99.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/92/l_71ceb9ebab96c48e447b5a880c3a5f62.jpg

http://a341.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/87/l_58b61d658bfdfd3fb0549f73950e455c.jpg

Then we jumped on the animal kingdom bus
http://a47.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/44/l_df705b0097c29f4f0d0df516df350d46.jpg
then from there hopped on the bus to get to pepper market.

http://a174.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/103/l_17842b9edfd571b96b810779295e68dd.jpg
We get there in time for lunch.

We went to order the drinks and the lady working there didn’t speak English very well and she didn’t want to get the kids a coke and sprite she told us it wasn’t on the dining plan... I told her to get them for me anyways because we knew she was wrong…
James got the pizza
http://a916.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/72/l_4dcfee4f0e6117136a9cdce6ce782d33.jpg
He loved it like last time…..

Alexis got the hotdog
http://a134.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/115/l_ea01bbf5cbe3220f286b149c5911a845.jpg

She liked it ok...

Jason got a hamburger
http://a962.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/99/l_fa79a7b321720ddc8345d3f15e44d4d9.jpg
He liked it

I got the rib eye again
http://a62.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/62/l_aa7a7f09698b01abc0823200954bca45.jpg
It was better last year

We went to pay the bill using our free dining and just like I said the kids could get the coke and sprite with their meal …. Its sad when a Diser knows more then the workers.

The bill came out to $58. We paid $o. Thanks free dining
Review – it was an ok meal... it seemed much better last year … we will most likely not be back next year...

Then after eating we jumped on the epcot bus then on the pop bus
http://a977.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/5/l_041f4b937d01b5c617e612dc11944030.jpg
We got here around 1pm and call and our room was ready we were in 1105

It was a great room
the kids run in the room and started jumping on the bed yelling we are here!! (they are kids if i could i would be jumping with them ..LOL)
http://a276.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/116/l_acb2c3b4cf3bd550e8b0b8e4a7d5545b.jpg
http://a798.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/65/l_c131f216928a98ee41bf7281d1c536a5.jpg

Well you know that you had to buy aleast a 1 day base ticket for each person to get the free dining well Jason went to see if we could change the 1 day base ticket to a water park ticket Because we didn’t need it due to us having the season pass.. Score! We got them... that’s save us money!! very cool huh...

We unpacked and I got the window done because it was raining by now..

http://a225.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/71/l_7e813ff349d52ec31379c0cd5419caf8.jpg

That dessert plate looks so yummy! DDP is great esp when it's free!

My goodness you guys did a lot of hopping! It take my crowd 2 days to do what you guys did in a few hours. :rotfl2: That white russian looks yummy! Everyone needs a drink at Disney just to chill a little. Of course I forgot to get mine. :sick:

So....they let Jason get a different kind of ticket? I will have the same problem next year with bounceback. We have the seasonal passes and the one day would go to waste BUT if I could use that one day ticket to upgrade to say..an after 2pm water park pass or maybe a Halloween ticket that would be cool! I wonder if they'd do that!? What did he say? What did they say back? We had bought 8 day base tickets for the 4 of us. We then upgraded our tickets to annual season passes and it was only $47 more! Heck yeah!!!

We are hopping pro's ...LOL we went to the desk and he told them that we bought 4 of the 1 day base tickets so we could get the free dining but we don't need it because we still had our FL season pass till sept 16 and we wanted to know if we could trade them in for water park tickets that we didn't care if we got a refund on the difference or not we just didn't need those tickets and we wanted to do the water park, But at the same time we don't want to lose the free dining ... well, the lady went into the back room and came out and said yes we can do that .. and I said we are not going to lose the free dining are we ? and she said no here's your new water park tickets .. we said thank you and walked away very happy ...
Then getthis ...when we checked out of the hotel we got a cash refund of the difference of the park to water park tickets... $121. we had thought the whole time we were there we had just traded... but it turned out pretty cool that we got a refund also...

Great trip report can't wait for more!

we did MK Comando style today so not so many photos were taken ,

when they finally let us in we went to dumbo we were the 1st people to ride that day... yay!
Then we walked right on to peter pan,
then walked right on the pooh ride...
then we rode Haunted Mansion. A walk on again,

http://a294.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/38/l_72793991f418960a75c61a6083fd6d85.jpg
Then it was time to head back to the hotel everyone was heading to magic kingdom for the extra magic hours (it was going to be open till 3am that night ) so the pop line was not long at all .
We got to pop when we walked in we saw we had a message we had mail at the front desk it was from Tanya (thanks girl the kids loved it ) then we took showers and laid around till bed time …

Day 5, will it be a mad house at animal kingdom ?

Great update. I can't believe how much you did iat MK in such a few hours. :cool1:

We found out on this trip if you go Comando style in the morning after the park opens and just ride the rides that get lines .. and don't waste you time on its a small world or shows you can get so much done then go back to those rides & shows later ...

plus .. most people opened a different park that day I guess because it was MK Extra hours tonight... the croweds started showing up at 12pm so thats when we left ...

Love the pics from GG! I will miss that place! We always had lunch there on every trip. Our waiter told us he thinks the wholoe place will be phased out soon. (That it's not very popular) and that there has been talked tossed around about moving the characters over to the now CS in USA. I hope he's wrong!!! GG is the best most intimate fun meal in the whole World if you ask me! :confused3

You guys did get a lot done in a short time! :thumbsup2 We just can't do the Disney bus. It drives me crazy.

I hope they keep it i love that place.. I heard they were only taking away the characters.. but they will still have the food only ... don't know:confused3
oh i love disney buses when everything runs smothly and this trip it ran great..

They need to keep something there. There's enough places in World Showcase already!

We still have a stroller...w/o a stroller I'm sure it'd be a lot easier. And the best part...it saves gas $ and you can have a drink or two!

How did I miss your update!? Love all the new stuff! Sounds like you picked the best day for the Animal Kingdom! I love the parks when they're slow. I think all the storms ran people off. I'm glad we chose this week to go! The Simba pics are so cute! You babies are gorgeous. They take great pictures! I love the family shot on the dinosaur too! When do you guys plan to go back?

hi!! I read your 2007 TR when you had it last year and loved it! I'm sad to say that I have missed your 2008 Pre TR but I'm having fun reading your TR. It's crazy to think that all of the Dis'ers come to AK and I don't even meet 1/2 of them but it's still fun to see your pics and recall the days you were there. Great job, I love the pics and video!!

I finally read your TR! I've had it minimized on my computer for probably 5 days and haven't had time to read it. I followed you over from several other TR. Your kids are too cute and wish that we lived as close to the World as you do. I can't wait to hear what happened at MK.

ewww, you got that right about Thunder River!!! Thinking of Six Flags also makes me think of the wild devil cats that ran around the park!! Yuck!!!
Speaking of which, we are going to Fright Fest this year. We do it every year. It's fun to walk around and look at everything and see how hateful the kids are that work there now. It is so sad!!!

ewww, you got that right about Thunder River!!! Thinking of Six Flags also makes me think of the wild devil cats that ran around the park!! Yuck!!!
Speaking of which, we are going to Fright Fest this year. We do it every year. It's fun to walk around and look at everything and see how hateful the kids are that work there now. It is so sad!!!
:sad2:

They don't get it .. They must not be having the fun we had when we worked there.. and they must not have the friendships that we all had there .. trips & partys ! fun fun !!

I love fright fest ... I can't wait to be there again ...

We won in AK as we got off Kilamanjaro Safari, there was the Dream Team. I felt like a kid, I was so excited. I'm guessing you may win something at Epcot also. :rolleyes1

You got to meet Farrah! That's exciting! I have never been to MK when it's been that empty and we've done rope drop many times. Is it better to go in the direction of Tommorow land? We usually go to Adventureland first.

Rock on girl! You won a dream! :woohoo: My dream dream would be the free vacation club! I think we'd like it more than the castle. :goodvibes That was a great promo. I love your castle pics! Especially the one with topiary Mickey and Minnie. So cute! What date was this? Did you and Farrah know you had ADR's on the same day? I still can't believe they're changing LTT! WTH is wrong with Disney? That's like the best meal at the Magic Kingdom!

Day 7,
today was going to be my alone with the kids day at epcot, Jason was going to stay at Pop resort to wash clothes.
so james Alexis & i headed to epcot to meet up with my aunt and my cousins at epcot.
I didn’t get many photo’s due to I didn’t bring a bag so no camera, so i only had a few photos using photopass,
http://a493.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/47/l_e3869e2f2153b2e17f649d3baad9986c.jpg
1st we rode soaring then figment then test track
my little cousins wanted to ride mission space so the kids and i went to the exit to play while they rode. While we were at mission space playing the game inside by the exit,
the dream team walked up and we won another dream ...
Mickey ears...
james & alexis were super happy becausde they wanted dream ears ...
here's my photo pass photo of james , Alexis & I with our Dream mickey ears
http://a99.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/80/l_aee8009560cb58d385c183de251cbb8a.jpg
Yes i know i look silly ... but i was happy to have won another dream (mickey ears)
I called Jason and told him, about us winning another dream, you could tell he was feeling left out but he was very happy for us and told me that he was done with the clothes and was about to walk around the resort …
here’s his photos

Aww, great update!!! As many times as we have went, we have never ate at LTT. I have heard it was really good though!
It is very good .. its like thanksgiving dinner..Mmmmmmm We love LLT:thumbsup2

Yay for the Dream Team. :banana: We won Dream Ears when we were there, but to tell you the truth I didn't care what it was. I just wanted to win a Dream. We won in AK as we got off Kilamanjaro Safari, there was the Dream Team. I felt like a kid, I was so excited. I'm guessing you may win something at Epcot also. :rolleyes1
yes .. winning is the best feeling... i could careless what it is .. just having the dream team come up to you and saying you won is the best ...

You got that right! Those kids are just hateful!!!

We will have to go and enjoy it once your down here! You know whats funny, is there are still people we know working there in the shows!
really who still works there? yes we will have to go...

You got to meet Farrah! That's exciting! I have never been to MK when it's been that empty and we've done rope drop many times. Is it better to go in the direction of Tommorow land? We usually go to Adventureland first.
Yes I met Farrah .. i met her last year too!..
i love Mk when its empty .. Tomorrow land is the way to go...

Rock on girl! You won a dream! :woohoo: My dream dream would be the free vacation club! I think we'd like it more than the castle. :goodvibes That was a great promo. I love your castle pics! Especially the one with topiary Mickey and Minnie. So cute! What date was this? Did you and Farrah know you had ADR's on the same day? I still can't believe they're changing LTT! WTH is wrong with Disney? That's like the best meal at the Magic Kingdom!
I know i would have loved to have won that also ... but no luck .. thanks jason took those.. yes I knew farrah had adrs there but had forgot ...:lmao:
not sure why disney keeps wanting to close great meals....:confused3 i don't get it ??:confused:

Great job on the hair and make up! Why spend all that money when you can do the same if not better!!!
I wore Minnie ears with sequence on the ears every day of my last trip. Where else can you do that and nobody is looking at you like you're a weirdo? Congrats on another dream. And how did you luck out that your DH would stay and do the laundry??? I thought maybe he went golfing or something.
You went to my favorite resort for dinner. One day I WILL stay at this hotel. I finally went and visited the resort last Oct with just DH and I. But, it was just a visit. I think it's absolutely gorgeous! How was the food at 1900? Is is a buffet?

Day 9,
We got up super early because we knew it was our last chance to ride the new toy story ride at DHS ( Disney's Hollywood Studios).
We got dressed and headed to the bus stop super early
We got to the DHS gate at 8:30....
we were 1st in line, and we wait .. and wait.... then..
They open the gates and we walked really fast to the rope drop...
Jason & I had it all planned out I was to run or walk very fast to toy story and get fast passes and meet them in the stand by line so we could ride at least 2 times…
well it had been raining off and on all morning so the cast members said they would walk us to the toy story ride and no running….
So we watch the rope drop show... and the off we go... I walked right next to the cast member, I was a head of everyone else..

We got to toy story and I rushed to the fast pass line and got our 4 fast passes and rushed off to the stand by line thinking Jason and the kids must have made it in there by now..
I find out a few mins later that Jason was still not in the ride so I stand there in line waiting for them at the loading area …
finally I see Jason & the kids... I say how did I beat you in here when I got fast passes also.
Jason said I took the wrong turn … :lmao: I swear he can’t do anything without me there...LOL Men!! But I love him so much !!
So we ride… It was very fun!!

We got out and had around 30 mins till our fast pass would work
So we walked over and rode the great movie ride
Then we went to see the High school musical show... Alexis loved it
Here’s a video of her dancing in it
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/Populartot1/th_100_7079.jpg (http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b50/Populartot1/?action=view&current=100_7079.flv)
Then it was time for the Cars to come out so we went to see the cars
Here we are with the cars
http://a451.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/25/l_24d9bde6acdfa9693b759cca3cc3e7ca.jpg
http://a588.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/13/l_ded94c8e04e03c4ab5d99d37ecc8dddb.jpg
http://a759.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/67/l_1afd388331f39618d80bd58ad6dbe6c6.jpg
Then it was time for our fast passes
So we rode toy story again...
http://a137.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/111/l_7313d6562b3b8e10138b04b9197242c0.jpg
then when we got off, we looked at the fast pass comeback time and it was for about a hour away so we rushed & got more fast passes for it again... woohoo!!

By then it was lunch time so we headed over to pizza planet but on the way we saw Kim...
http://a618.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/92/l_e2e0583b65e319ca58b1e2947790f5c9.jpg
http://a103.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/25/l_aa6d5b91862bc2c5f25399212d1ce3ae.jpg
Then we ate . We all got the same thing..
http://a298.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/18/l_e042e55c814952a7c7837e9b3bdd09a1.jpg
Then after eating we went to see the Muppets
http://a901.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/28/l_11abeaaee3091e70c932a1be5869eddc.jpg
The park had been dead all morning but because the rain had stop it started to fill up and get busy ! So we went back to Toy story to use our last fast passes..
the ride was super fun and we were very lucky to had gotten to ride it 3 times today ... woohoo:cool1:
Then we went to see a one mans dream I saw my friend there... farrah and her family were inside there also... very cool so we talked about the glow party and stuff.. then it was time for the show to start ..
It was a good show about Walt Disney..

We then went to take a drawing class..
Needless to say we all sucked at drawing chip... Poor Alexis started crying in the middle because she just couldn’t do it so her daddy helped her a little…
After I knew Jason really wanted to go ride rocking roller coaster... so I told him to go ride it I would take the kids to see Voyage of the Little Mermaid, so off he went... but ends up we had along time before the show we went to take photo pass photo’s
Here we are …

Then after we went and saw it... has anyone seen this show lately ? its seem to be getting shorter and shorter .. they have cut out alot of things this year ...
And met Jason at the exit, He said he had rode it 2 times the single rider line was a walk on...
So I told Jason to take the kids to star wars ride and I was going to ride the rocking roller coaster now... so off he went with the kids. and off i went ..
Just like he said it was a walk on...
I love this ride..
I met up with them to watch the Block Party Bash, by then the park seemed very busy... so we headed out...

We took the bus to the Contemporary and we walked around and laid around in the back TV room next to chef mickeys, Just watching TV & people watched out the window while we ate a snack,
Then we jumped on the monorail to the grand floridian.
