Have fun storming the castle!

I know you'll love all the Summer Nightastic stuff. Next month until I get to see it, and I can't wait!

Since Mindy asked you to have a drink for her, I call dibs for you to have one for me at the tequila bar in Mexico.

...also do you do anything special to keep you iPhone battery life lasting all day to be able to do all of the posting of video and photos?I can barely keep battery life to make it thru a whole day at home.

Sugar Spice - I bought a external battery for my iPhone after seeing Annette and a few others using theirs during DAP last year. Worth every penny

June 7th - Pre Trip Report

Hi Everyone -

Our family is headed back to Orlando tomorrow morning. Anna and I will be leaving in the morning and Kim will be joining us later this week. It seems like it has been a while since we've been to the parks. Our last trip was over New Years, and after that trip ended I felt a little burned-out from the parks. We had visited the parks quite a bit in 2009 and I thought I needed a long break. However, around April, I was feeling the need to get back to the theme park capital of the world. Now, I'm crawling up the walls waiting to get back to Central Florida. Finally tomorrow is the day.

Anna and I will be in Orlando for 2 weeks; 10 days at Disney World, possibly 1 day at Kennedy Space Center and 4 days at Universal. We've got quite a bit planned including the Hoop-De-Doo Review, Catching some of the Summer Nightastic events, Star Wars Weekend 4, and the grand opening of Harry Potter.

Anna and I are giving the Disney Dining Plan a whirl again. We are staying at AKLV and during our stay we have 4 nights worth of dining plan. The last time we did the Dining Plan we felt it was too much food, but I figure for 4 nights we should be able to handle it. The ADRs we have planned include Chef Mickey's, Cape May Clam Bake, Mama Melrose, and the Tusker House character breakfast. Once Kim arrives we are going off the Dining Plan and using our Tables in Wonderland 20% discount. Other ADRs we have scheduled are the Hoop De Doo Review, Ohana, Teppan Edo, and Mama Dellas at Portifino Bay. We may make some other reservations along the way.

We're hopeful to see some of our friends during our visit. If anyone wants to meet-up while we're in Orlando please send me a PM and we can get together. Whether its just for a quick ice cream treat, lunch, or a walk around World Showcase just let us know.

I should mention most of what I'll be posting in this trip report will be photos and possibly some video. Through my IPhone I'll be able to post live photos during our day in this thread. In other words, most of the photos you will see in this trip report will be live, up to the second photos with captions and descriptions of what is happening in the parks and resorts. I'll even post what the lines and craziness looks like at the WWoHP grand opening.....It should be every bit of crazy too.

We are scheduled to arrive in Orlando around 12:45PM tomorrow. I'll post when we arrive. So get ready for a lot of photos and info from Orlando. "See you real soon!"

question: how do you post pictures from the iphone to a post here on the DIS?

 

[chickie]

Hi Aaron! Hope you had a safe flight and are now checking into your room. Can't wait to read about all your adventures!

 

[ADP]

Touchdown in Orlando! 6 points!

Off to AKLV- Woot!

question: how do you post pictures from the iphone to a post here on the DIS?

I'm using an IPhone app called Photobucket. I upload the photos to photobucket and link to them here. It only takes about 30 seconds from the time I take the picture to posting it here. Pretty cool!

Walking into AKV. Always a treat!

Hey, that's the view we had before PCC 1.0 when we stayed there before the Muddy buddy.

We really liked it, and it's close to the QS location right below you.
