"Norway? More like No Way!" Goobers' Jan 12 TR! Up.x2 4/6: FINAL THOUGHTS!

[NancyLuvsMickey]

Ok, now you got me realizing that we've never done the parks at night... Since we have kids, we go during the day, and then head back to the resort at dinner time and just swim until bedtime... Taking an afternoon break isn't an option with my kids... They would rather swim than go to the parks... I know, can you believe it???

 

[marDgreen88]

Hooray for the empty (and PUNCTUAL) bus!
Okay so I'm really dumb but on the left of the bus picture where it says "watch your step" the pole is covering the U, so I just read it as "watch yo step!"

I'm not judging! I love pretzels! Are they spicy?

AW! What a sweet CM. WAIT a minute! I know her! Well, I don't KNOW her. But I talked to her in December! So cool!

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh. That's so scary. I'm afraid of heights but I let it go on rides because I'm strapped in. But if I was stuck on the Everest lift for an extended period of time... oh my gosh I'd just freak out probably.

Wait a minute, someone on your ride stood up? Or someone going up the hill? I'm so confused! Darn people! Why were yall always at the receiving end of consequences for other people's dumb decisions?

I need to do the Maharajah Jungle Trek next time! It looks awesome, and I love tigers! They were my high school's mascot, so ya know, we're like THIS. (I wish there was a smiley doing that finger thing... )

HAHAHAHA omg. Senior picture. That is TOO good.

BUNNY! AHH that's so cool. I want to ride Everest at night! Animal Kingdom looks so awesome when it's darker out!

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Ahhhhhh.....AK and EE at night! *GREEN* with envy! Your gauntlet has me convinced that Rey and I MUST do this! SO much fun!!!

 

[danimaroo]

Well you've definitely had some pixie dust on your side my friend. I'm amazed at what you've gotten accomplished. And how awesome that CM gave you guys FPs!

Why on earth would that girl turn down a FP? Amateur, clearly. I love giving mine away too! I like making someone else's day brighter.

Yeah we really did! And thank you, looking back I was pretty impressed with ourselves. Haha.. That CM was awesome. We kept seeing her later when she'd moved from the FP area to letting people on and she'd smile each time and say hi.

I don't know! She definitely didn't know what she was missing out on! At least the other lady took it and was happy about it. Makes you feel good.

I want to quote everything from your replys, but if I did I would always take up like the whole page. I just can't shut up.

Haha I don't mind, of course! But I know what you mean, I do the same thing sometimes.

Yeah, we went at like 2 on a hot afternoon. Poor choice because I felt like we couldn't relax as much as we wanted to with so many people in there.

Wompwomp. Nothing worse than lots of people and it being hot out. Basically why you'll never see me there in the summer.

Yay for alien shirts! I was glad that I dominated everyone at that game. It was really neat. I think we could talk for hours about it and basically recreate all of 1990s WDW for you, haha.

Yay indeed! Hahaha, yes you guys could and I'd thoroughly enjoy it.

Stunna shades and an empty bus?! Score!
You are taunting me with these pretzels again? I have to try one next time.

Haha I don't mess around... And yay for an empty bus. And yes you do, they're so good.

40 minutes? Lame. That is so awesome that you guys just keep getting pixie dusted!

It was lame, but between the extra FPs and then the time dropping to 20 minutes it was okay!

WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP STANDING UP ON RIDES??? WHY???
Holy cow you guys have quite a few FPs there. I like how those are printed sideways because I'm a loser that would point something like that out and get excited about it, haha.

I do not know, but it was remarkably annoying. And yes, we had tons! It was kind of overwhelming. Hahahaha I love that you get excited about it.

Bats and Tigers and Flags! Oh my!! That's not how it goes, is it?
Good pictures from the jungle trek!

Hahaha you crack me up. I really liked that jungle trek! It was really neat.

Another time card? You are racking cool points up this week. My mom got one later in our week too. Yay for FP sharing! I did that a couple of times and people acted very confused.

We were too cool for school. And yeah, people are so weird about FPs, it's so bizarre. They just don't understand!

This picture may be the best one yet! I love the senior picture idea! Glad you didn't lose your hat!

Haha I know, I wish you could see our faces. They were pretty hilarious. We always do senior picture, like, everywhere.

Thumper?!
EE and all of AK is SO pretty at night!

It was Thumper, just mini sized! I love AK at night, it's beautiful!

DISMEET WOO HOO WOO HOO!!!

I can't waaaaaait!

Ok, now you got me realizing that we've never done the parks at night... Since we have kids, we go during the day, and then head back to the resort at dinner time and just swim until bedtime... Taking an afternoon break isn't an option with my kids... They would rather swim than go to the parks... I know, can you believe it???

You must do them at night! I lovelovelove the parks at night. Especially MK. It's so beautiful. Kids are so funny like that though, they love swimming! I'm sure I'd be like that, too, hahaha. Hopefully when they're older you can experience the parks at night though!

Hooray for the empty (and PUNCTUAL) bus!
Okay so I'm really dumb but on the left of the bus picture where it says "watch your step" the pole is covering the U, so I just read it as "watch yo step!"

Yeahhhh, empty punctual buses are the best! I laughed at your observation. Watch yo'self!

I'm not judging! I love pretzels! Are they spicy?

No they aren't rally spicy at all. Just full of deliciousness. And thanks for not judging as we were running and chomping on pretzels, hahaha.

AW! What a sweet CM. WAIT a minute! I know her! Well, I don't KNOW her. But I talked to her in December! So cool!

Haha that is so funny that you saw her in December. She was awesome and I think just happy that I acknowledged her frustrations with this lady who was being not-so-nice to her.

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh. That's so scary. I'm afraid of heights but I let it go on rides because I'm strapped in. But if I was stuck on the Everest lift for an extended period of time... oh my gosh I'd just freak out probably.

Yeah, I felt bad for those people. I would not have Been happy about being stuck there. But they were waving and seemed to be okay! I was definitely glad to be where we were!

Wait a minute, someone on your ride stood up? Or someone going up the hill? I'm so confused! Darn people! Why were yall always at the receiving end of consequences for other people's dumb decisions?

Not sure, someone I think inside of the mountain stood up because the guy walked past us saying something about someone doing something dumb. He went inside, then finally came back out and they eventually started it again. People are just dumb, but we survived!

I need to do the Maharajah Jungle Trek next time! It looks awesome, and I love tigers! They were my high school's mascot, so ya know, we're like THIS. (I wish there was a smiley doing that finger thing... )

It was so cool! The tigers are beautiful and seem to enjoy their area. My high school mascot was a Green Wave so... Yeah, hahaha.. Even better during football season I dressed as the mascot. I looked like Gumby.

HAHAHAHA omg. Senior picture. That is TOO good.

Haha that's just how we roll.

BUNNY! AHH that's so cool. I want to ride Everest at night! Animal Kingdom looks so awesome when it's darker out!

It is SO cool when it's darker out. I hope next trip we get to see it dark again. EE is so pretty lit up!

Ahhhhhh.....AK and EE at night! *GREEN* with envy! Your gauntlet has me convinced that Rey and I MUST do this! SO much fun!!!

Yes, you should do it. We had an absolute blast, as exhausting as it all was. I think everyone should do it at least once!

Chapter Twenty-Two: "OH MY GOD TRUFFLE OIL"... and a DISmeet!
Day 5: January 22nd, 2012​

We caught a bus to Epcot, as we had an ADR at Via Napoli! Of course, this was the one time we had to wait awhile for a bus, when we were trying to get to Epcot in a timely manner. We arrived at around 7, and wanted to get to Via Napoli ASAP as we were both hungry and also wanted to check in for our ADR early.

Now, our next move was pretty dumb. We both had a brain fart and thought Italy was next to France, soooo we went to the right of World Showcase instead of left. We soon realized our mistake but trudged forward, even though I thought my feet were going to fall off. They were in SO much pain! I have it noted that it was the most painful walk ever, haha. Clearly our "epic" day was catching up to me... Oh well, we made it by 7:20, checked in early for our ADR and were seated within 10 minutes.

We were seated right near the outside, which was a great spot...

Matt ordered the Pepperoni pizza, while I ordered the Carciofi, which was a white pizza with truffle oil (I am OBSESSED with truffle oil), artichoke, pecorino and mozzarella cheese. These were both personal pizzas, as that's how it works on the DDP.

Ho-ly SMOKES. My pizza was out of this world. I had Matt try some and he agreed. Ohhhh I was so happy to be eating here right now. SO HAPPY. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly, and no I don't remember his name, I just know he was a cute Italian boy.

We both ate only half of our pizzas, because we wanted to save room for dessert and not feel like we were going to explode while at our final park of the night... Plus, leftover pizza is always nice!

Matt decided to get the Tiramasu, while I went with the Pistacchio Gelato.

Again, Via Napoli, could you seriously be more wonderful?! Gah the gelato was delicious, as was Matt's tiramasu. This is why Via Napoli is a favorite for us!

Then, they topped it off by singing us a fun song and giving us a little treat for having our anniversary pins on..

Perfect ending to a wonderful meal!!

After we settled our bill, we left Via Napoli and strolled back over towards Beach Club, happy as clams.

Then we saw... NIGHT DUCKS! These guys were always hanging out at WS behind the fence, waiting for people to give them food. They were kind of like little ninjas waiting in the dark!

We finally got back to our room and dropped off the leftovers and I grabbed my hoodie. We caught a bus right away to Magic Kingdom, OUR FINAL DESTINATION!

First thing we did as we walked in was took our last stop photos!

We then decided to head over the Tomorrowland and maybe ride Buzz... which was a 20 minute wait, and we were kind of meh about that. So instead, Matt decided to buy STITCH HANDS!

This was something he eyed last year and so this year I told him he had to buy them, they were fun and would be fun to use when playing with our doggies at home.

Matt was pretty stoked about his new hands, and wore them as we walked over to ride Snow White's Scary Adventure. So many little kids kept commenting on how COOL Matt's Stitch hands were while we waited in line; it was really cute and funny.

I'd never been on SWSA, but I will tell you this much... If I'd been a little kid on that ride, BEFORE they decided to add Snow White in to the attraction, I would have been TERRIFIED! Holy cow that ride was actually pretty dark! Like the fact that before they put Snow White in it, the ride ended with you basically dying? What the heck?

Before moving on, I'm just going to straight-up apologize for my total lack of photos from this point on. I think between being exhausted, having a DISmeet (which I'll get to in a second) and not wanting to weird anyone out with a ton of photo-taking, I just didn't take any photos. This is probably the one time I'm most mad at myself for not taking photos in the trip, but oh well! You'll just have to read along instead.

This whole time I'd been texting back and forth with Rachel (okw19), who was also in the park with her little sister. After walking a little bit and scanning the area for her, Matt suddenly said, "Dani.." and I turned and there was Rachel and her sister Anna!

YAY FOR A DISMEET! I was SO excited to finally meet Rachel; she found me on my PTR and we just got along so well, we'd kept in touch outside of the DISboards (oh and we did a PP share together!), so we totally knew we had to meet up at some point during our trips!

We talked for a bit then decided to go and get Dole Whips... A first for Matt and me!

Matt and I decided to split one since we were still full from dinner... My verdict on the Dole Whip? Such a delicious treat! I was definitely a fan! It actually surpassed my expectations, as it was creamier than I expected. Even Matt liked it, and he usually doesn't enjoy fruit-flavored ice cream.

Anyway, we all sat and talked for awhile, talking about our trips and everything we'd done. Rachel (and sorry if I'm embarrassing you by writing about you here, haha) was SUCH a sweetheart and just someone both Matt and I clicked with. You always worry that the first time you meet someone (especially from online!) it might be awkward but it wasn't at all with her. I could tell we'd be good friends.

After chatting for awhile, we thought about doing Splash but it was closed (this happened a lot on our trip! ), so we decided to all go with Pirates instead! (Again, apologies for a lack of photos, just terrible).

We had good times on Pirates, as always, but all of us were completely exhausted. Matt and I had completed our 2-ride quota at MK, and we were ready to just call it a day. The park was actually bit busier than we expected, so we headed out towards the exit... We said goodbye to Rachel and her sister Anna (don't worry, this isn't the last time we see them! and I'm glad because I was SO mad I didn't ask to get a photo this night!), then caught a bus back to Beach Club...

We were SO exhausted. Our feet hurt... and of course, my throat started to hurt. Yup, I probably pushed it a little too hard.

But darn it, it was so worth it! In the end, we managed to ride:

Tower of Terror
Rockin' Roller Coaster
Star Tours
Toy Story Midway Mania
Living with the Land
Seas with Nemo
Expedition Everest 4 times (and once with the mountain lit up for night time!)
Snow White's Scary Adventure
Pirates of the Caribbean

Additionally, we also did some pin trading, bought some new t-shirts, a cell phone cover and STITCH HANDS, had a DISmeet, tried a Dole Whip and Carrot Cake Cookies for the first time, and enjoyed an excellent dinner at Via Napoli.

Park-wise, just to re-cap here... We hit up Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Epcot (again), and Magic Kingdom! Where we took it a bit easier on attractions (Epcot and MK), we contributed time to the park by buying or eating fun stuff.

Not a shabby day at all!

When we hobbled back to our room, we took showers, ate our leftover pizza (why is left over pizza so good?!), and promptly fell asleep. It'd been quite an amazing and epic day, but we really needed sleep more than anything else.

BUT! WE DID IT! WE COMPLETED MATT AND DANI'S DISNEY WORLD GAUNTLET!

Is it weird that I kind of wish some CM had been secretly watching us all day and ran out with a certificate for us?! Hahaha, I'm weird, I know, but we were happy we did it! It's also something we will probably never do again.

Tomorrow? Tomorrow we take it a bit easier with a trip around the world, and a dining experience that Matt had been looking forward to the second I'd booked it.

Continued in next update​

 

[GatorMommy2007]

Ok, let's talk Dole Whips.

On our last trip, I finally tried one. I love soft serve, I love pineapple. I thought it was AWFUL! Did I just have a bad mixing? It was SO VERY sour! I had two of my yearbook students with me, and they tried it, too. They had the same reaction I did. Was it a fluke?

 

[jecskc]

Yay for the completion of the Disney Gauntlet !!! I want to try that one day. We had dole whips for the first time on our November trip and we loved them !!! We have an ADR at Via Napoli when we go in April that we are looking forward to. Looking forward to reading more.

 

[marDgreen88]

Ugh, your poor feet. I can relate to that pain. SO unpleasant!

OH YUM, Via Napoli. I went there in December 2010 and looooved it, and I just made an ADR there last night, for this summer! I'm excited to go back. AND this time I get dessert because of the dining plan. HAPPY. AND, thank you Matt for ordering the tiramisu, because that is the EXACT dessert I will be getting. I LOVE TIRAMISU!!! I'm glad yall enjoyed your food so much!

Silly night ducks. Human food is for human people. BUT YOU'RE CUTE ANYWAY.

Wait wait wait... WHAT? What is this Snow White's Scary Adventures sans Snow White? AND DEATH? I'm so confused!

YAY RACHEL RACHEL RACHEL! She's awesome. So cool yall got to meet! And yall got to do Pirates together! That's funny because both of you commented on my TR about how the mist guy (Blackbeard mehhh) was gone... was it like that on this particular ride?

YAY FOR THE DISNEY WORLD GAUNTLET BEING COMPLETED!!!

 

[mjmagnuson]

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to stop in and say hello! I'm Matt, of Dani and Matt fame. I probably won't post much, but wanted to say hi! It's been a ton of fun reading through the trip report and reliving our amazing vacation.

 

[okw19]

Wompwomp. Nothing worse than lots of people and it being hot out. Basically why you'll never see me there in the summer.

Me either. I will never go in the summer. Unless it's a free trip.

I can't waaaaaait!

ME EITHER!! I'M ABOUT TO READ IT.

Those buses never come when you have an ADR for somewhere. It's like they know and they want you to get nervous.

Glad you made it without your legs breaking. That brain fart probably made your feet hate you though.

Your pizzas look yummy! I keep hearing about Via Napoli's yummy pizzas and yummy waiters. The desserts look good too, and you guys have had 2 desserts pretty much everywhere thanks to those pins!

Ninja night ducks!! You have me dying over here.

MAGIC KINGDOM TIME!! WOOHOO! Those Stitch hands are so funny, I bet the doggies love those!

I am SO mad we didn't take any pictures! Like what the heck was wrong with us? We should've not been worried about sounding weird because all DISsers are a little weird with obsessive picture taking anyways. Dismeet time was awesome. I'm glad I probably creeped Matt out running up to you guys, haha. Anna thought I was a freak who would scare you away.

I could go for a Dole Whip right about now.

Anyway, we all sat and talked for awhile, talking about our trips and everything we'd done. Rachel (and sorry if I'm embarrassing you by writing about you here, haha) was SUCH a sweetheart and just someone both Matt and I clicked with. You always worry that the first time you meet someone (especially from online!) it might be awkward but it wasn't at all with her. I could tell we'd be good friends.

You are not embarrassing me at all! I'm still so pumped that we clicked pretty much instantly. You are making me blush a little, you are too sweet writing about me! I am SO glad we had a Dismeet early in the week because it made texting and trying to find each other even more exciting. Sorry if I'm being overly enthusiastic to the point of creepy.

Uh oh..the beginnings of your head cold... Little did I know that night that mine was coming for me too.

You guys got so much accomplished in one day, and I totally would've made you a certificate if I had my computer and printer with me at OKW.
I feel like you were like that guy on some 90's sitcom..Step by Step maybe? Where he tries to do all of WDW in a certain time period. I'm sure you haven't seen it, but it was a real episode, haha.

 

[GatorMommy2007]

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to stop in and say hello! I'm Matt, of Dani and Matt fame. I probably won't post much, but wanted to say hi! It's been a ton of fun reading through the trip report and reliving our amazing vacation.

Hi Matt! It's like we know you already, but it's nice to 'meet' you!

 

[okw19]

YAY RACHEL RACHEL RACHEL! She's awesome. So cool yall got to meet! And yall got to do Pirates together! That's funny because both of you commented on my TR about how the mist guy (Blackbeard mehhh) was gone... was it like that on this particular ride?

It was awesome being able to meet and now we are Dis BFFs. You are pretty awesome yourself, missy!
Yes, the waterfall mist guy was missing that night!

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to stop in and say hello! I'm Matt, of Dani and Matt fame. I probably won't post much, but wanted to say hi! It's been a ton of fun reading through the trip report and reliving our amazing vacation.

Hey Matt! Isn't this trip report great? Danielle is hilarious, and I am loving reading about all the things we texted about while down there. Glad you're here!
Ps-Sorry I'm such a slow Words With Friends partner. Wait til you guys have kids and you will understand.

 

[mjmagnuson]

Haha whoops, this is Danielle posting as Matt by mistake, soooo we'll just fix this..

 

[danimaroo]

Ok, let's talk Dole Whips.

On our last trip, I finally tried one. I love soft serve, I love pineapple. I thought it was AWFUL! Did I just have a bad mixing? It was SO VERY sour! I had two of my yearbook students with me, and they tried it, too. They had the same reaction I did. Was it a fluke?

Wow, that is weird! I'm kind of wondering if you had bad ice cream... Because ours definitely was not sour. Yucky. I'd say give it another shot, and if you like it, great, and if not, then maybe it's just not for you! I've definitely heard of people who didn't love it. But your experience just makes me think that something was wrong with the ice cream...

Yay for the completion of the Disney Gauntlet !!! I want to try that one day. We had dole whips for the first time on our November trip and we loved them !!! We have an ADR at Via Napoli when we go in April that we are looking forward to. Looking forward to reading more.

YAY INDEED! I don't think I'd ever been so happy to lay in bed during our trip. Next time I'm going to have to try the float! You are going to love Via Napoli; it's seriously so good. I can't wait to go back again...

Ugh, your poor feet. I can relate to that pain. SO unpleasant!

Yes, they were very sad. They were screaming at me to stop walking on them.

OH YUM, Via Napoli. I went there in December 2010 and looooved it, and I just made an ADR there last night, for this summer! I'm excited to go back. AND this time I get dessert because of the dining plan. HAPPY. AND, thank you Matt for ordering the tiramisu, because that is the EXACT dessert I will be getting. I LOVE TIRAMISU!!! I'm glad yall enjoyed your food so much!

Heck to the yes. It's seriously my favorite. And you are going to love the dessert. The tiramisu is so good, as is the gelato. Basically you can't go wrong with anything there.

Silly night ducks. Human food is for human people. BUT YOU'RE CUTE ANYWAY.

Yes, they were quite silly. We met lots of ducks along the way... and they seemed to just love human food, haha.

Wait wait wait... WHAT? What is this Snow White's Scary Adventures sans Snow White? AND DEATH? I'm so confused!

Okay so, originally the attraction had NO Snow White in it. Because basically you were supposed to be riding it through Snow White's eyes. So no happy fun times in this attraction. SO basically, the end of the ride is the evil witch dropping a big jewel on you, the end...

Theeeen someone realized this was kind of a dark way to end the attraction and in 1994 they added in all the happy Snow White stuff, including the Prince waking up Snow White to the cheers of the Dwarfs. Kind of crazy, right?!

YAY RACHEL RACHEL RACHEL! She's awesome. So cool yall got to meet! And yall got to do Pirates together! That's funny because both of you commented on my TR about how the mist guy (Blackbeard mehhh) was gone... was it like that on this particular ride?

Yeah, she really is the bombdotcom! I was so happy to meet her and get to ride Pirates all together. And yes, it was still missing from the attraction. I think we rode Pirates this trip like 4 times and it was never turned on.. So who knows what the heck they're doing with it.

YAY FOR THE DISNEY WORLD GAUNTLET BEING COMPLETED!!!

So proud of us, but I don't know that we'll be able to ever do it again!

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to stop in and say hello! I'm Matt, of Dani and Matt fame. I probably won't post much, but wanted to say hi! It's been a ton of fun reading through the trip report and reliving our amazing vacation.

YOU FINALLY POSTED HERE! After all my hounding for your to just say hello, you finally posted. You should post more in here... Also is it weird I just told you that I'm responding to this post while you're in the kitchen heating up our broccoli? I'm so funny.

Me either. I will never go in the summer. Unless it's a free trip.

Yup, samesies on this!

ME EITHER!! I'M ABOUT TO READ IT.

YES I can't WAIT to see what you think!

Those buses never come when you have an ADR for somewhere. It's like they know and they want you to get nervous.

Nope they suuuure don't, and we'll see that happen again on Day 7.

Glad you made it without your legs breaking. That brain fart probably made your feet hate you though.

OMG I thought they were going to fall off. It was really sad. And yes, I was so mad that we went the wrong way, even though it was only like an extra country or something. It seemed like 8 extra miles at the time!

Your pizzas look yummy! I keep hearing about Via Napoli's yummy pizzas and yummy waiters. The desserts look good too, and you guys have had 2 desserts pretty much everywhere thanks to those pins!

They were so good. I think I could just marry the pizza. And yeah, those pins gave us so much pixie dust it was insane. Like WAY more so than our honeymoon pins.

Ninja night ducks!! You have me dying over here.

Hahah well they were! They would just suddenly appear out of the darkness and so I felt like they were little ninja ducks.

MAGIC KINGDOM TIME!! WOOHOO! Those Stitch hands are so funny, I bet the doggies love those!

YAY! They are so funny. The dogs love them. Matt enjoys tormenting them with the hands on. Poor puppies.

I am SO mad we didn't take any pictures! Like what the heck was wrong with us? We should've not been worried about sounding weird because all DISsers are a little weird with obsessive picture taking anyways. Dismeet time was awesome. I'm glad I probably creeped Matt out running up to you guys, haha. Anna thought I was a freak who would scare you away.

I KNOW. I am still so mad at myself for a lack of photos. I think I was just worried I'd weird you out if I was like LET'S TAKE A TON OF PHOTOS! LET ME TAKE ONE OF YOU EATING! I don't know why we didn't just do it. That is so funny about the running up thing. You didn't creep us out though! Hahaha.

I could go for a Dole Whip right about now.
You are not embarrassing me at all! I'm still so pumped that we clicked pretty much instantly. You are making me blush a little, you are too sweet writing about me! I am SO glad we had a Dismeet early in the week because it made texting and trying to find each other even more exciting. Sorry if I'm being overly enthusiastic to the point of creepy.

A Dole Whip would be awesome right now. I am really glad, too! And yeah, really happy we did that earlier in the trip, because then I feel like we ran into each other all the time! You're not being overly enthusiastic, unless I am, too, in which case we're just both being that way.

Uh oh..the beginnings of your head cold... Little did I know that night that mine was coming for me too.

UGH that was rough. We were both not doing so hot!

You guys got so much accomplished in one day, and I totally would've made you a certificate if I had my computer and printer with me at OKW.

I laughed out loud at you making us a little certificate. It's the thought that counts, though!

I feel like you were like that guy on some 90's sitcom..Step by Step maybe? Where he tries to do all of WDW in a certain time period. I'm sure you haven't seen it, but it was a real episode, haha.

Haha I was totally expecting to know this episode but I don't! I definitely watched Step by Step.. But that is so funny, I think I need to find out what this is from and find it on YouTube.

 

[Luvmepluto]

Wow!!!! I had a lot to read since the last time. You and Matt were truly motivated in doing 4 parks in one day. We have tried it but we can never get the kids to leave one once we have arrived.

Can't wait to hear more!

 

[mjmagnuson]

Hey Matt! Isn't this trip report great? Danielle is hilarious, and I am loving reading about all the things we texted about while down there. Glad you're here!
Ps-Sorry I'm such a slow Words With Friends partner. Wait til you guys have kids and you will understand.

Haha, no worries! I tend to play my turns quickly as they give me a much needed short break at work. Though I'm sure it looks weird to all my co-workers, as I sit there, staring at my phone and mumbling different word possibilities to myself.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

I cannot believe that you actually did FIVE parks in one day AND an ADR! I was sitting here shaking my head in disbelief that you were at Epcot at 7:20 having dinner when you still had MK left!

and Via Napoli! LOVE it! We thought the food was great! Your pizza looked really good, I didn't see that one on the menu!

Glad to hear your meet with Rachel went well...Rachel, I guess since you did a dismeet with Dani, you are excused from being the best responder on her TR!

 

[kittylady1972]

OMG what an EPIC day and now I must try to mimic this Disney Park Gauntlet myself. EE at night sounds so cool...and since BTMRR will be close during our trip (another one we love to ride at night) I think we just might have to try to hit AK one evening and also try to ride it at night! Now just where to fit it into our trip? Must check over my schedule now!

 

[NancyLuvsMickey]

Congrats on completing your Disney World Gauntlet...

The pizza at Via Napoli looks AMAZING!!!

And yes, I've already talked to DH and told him we need to do the parks at night... And if we have to leave the kids a home and take a trip without them, then so be it...

 

[danimaroo]

Wow!!!! I had a lot to read since the last time. You and Matt were truly motivated in doing 4 parks in one day. We have tried it but we can never get the kids to leave one once we have arrived.

Can't wait to hear more!

Hahaha, sorry, I'm kind of an updating machine over here! There's just so much to get through and I love writing this TR. We definitely were motivated but I'm pretty sure when we went back to our room to drop off our food, we were VERY tempted to just stop there for the night... but we didn't let that happen!

And I'd think it would be hard to get the kids to leave! I'm trying to do these kinds of trips now before we have children.

I cannot believe that you actually did FIVE parks in one day AND an ADR! I was sitting here shaking my head in disbelief that you were at Epcot at 7:20 having dinner when you still had MK left!

I do not know how we did it, because we were SO tired when we got back to our room. My feet were very angry with me.

and Via Napoli! LOVE it! We thought the food was great! Your pizza looked really good, I didn't see that one on the menu!

It's so so good. That pizza was to die for. I will definitely be getting it again on our next trip, that's for sure!

Glad to hear your meet with Rachel went well...Rachel, I guess since you did a dismeet with Dani, you are excused from being the best responder on her TR!

Haha it was excellent! She is such a pro responder to my TRs, but you are pretty awesome yourself!

OMG what an EPIC day and now I must try to mimic this Disney Park Gauntlet myself. EE at night sounds so cool...and since BTMRR will be close during our trip (another one we love to ride at night) I think we just might have to try to hit AK one evening and also try to ride it at night! Now just where to fit it into our trip? Must check over my schedule now!

YES you should totally do it! It was a blast, even though we paid for it by the time we got back to our room/the next day. EE was awesome at night and it made up for BTMRR being down for us, as well! Hopefully you can squeeze it in there somewhere.

Congrats on completing your Disney World Gauntlet...

The pizza at Via Napoli looks AMAZING!!!

And yes, I've already talked to DH and told him we need to do the parks at night... And if we have to leave the kids a home and take a trip without them, then so be it...

Thank you! We were pretty proud of ourselves for completing it.

That pizza was AMAHZING. Yes I just said amahzing. I just wanted to have it all the time.

Haha, sometimes you just need to take that adults-only trip! I'm trying to squeeze as many in as possible before we have children, I'll tell ya that much!
