“OHMYGOSH, I’M SOAKED” – Walt Disney World Vacation 2012 (Completed May 24, 2013!)

Just found your TR and I am looking forward to more! Your passion for Disney and this trip is infectious! :thumbsup2
 
AWW, you sound like you have such a sweet relationship with your dad. I love dads. They're the best.

YAYYYY ALMOST TO DISNEY!!!
 


Ahhahahahha. THE MAGIC EXPRESS IS COMING :)
That tunnel in the Detroit airport is so much fun! I love how the music matches the colors. It's like therapy.
 
The beautiful Florida air welcomed us as we stepped outside to see,
THE MAGICAL EXPRESS! :cool1:

Hello, my love!

This was actually my first time riding it, so I was jumping with excitement!
Our driver was waiting outside of the door, & looked at me & said,
"Little excited there dear?"
I replied with, "OF COURSE! WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY!"
Silly driver, don't you know?!

We took our seats & waited to leave the airport,

Pretty soon we were on the road!
Coronado was the first stop, HECK YEAH! :thumbsup2

The movie started & I couldn't even move my eyes away from the screen,
& the magic playing right before me.
I almost missed this beautiful baby!

I couldn't get a better picture, but at least I got the side, :rolleyes2

In no time at all, we pulled up to Coronado Springs!
Our luggage would be brought to our room once it got to Orlando,
it had a whole different flight than us from Detroit! :worried:
Hopefully it would make it there okay!

We went into the lobby, & I was so overwhelmed that I didn't take one SINGLE picture.
I'm so sorry.
I know.
I'm terrible.
Please forgive me?

Okay, thanks. :goodvibes

We had checked in online 3 days before, so we were ready for our room keys!
I talked to the cast member at the counter, who was very helpful!
I wish I could remember her name!

Soon enough, we got our room keys & were headed to the Cabanas! Building 9A!
At this point, I just took off running.
Not sure why, but I had this sudden burst of energy that I just HAD to run.
I was in Disney, FINALLY! :rotfl:
Ryan on the other hand took a more leisurely stroll.. :rolleyes1

We found our room, which was on the first floor, facing the parking lot!

We walked into our home for the next 6 days, :hyper:
(BTW! I did record some videos, on my brand spankin' new camera, so once I edit those, they will be added!)

As soon as we walked in, I turned on our tv to say hello to the one & only,
STACEY!
Would you expect me to do anything else?
The answer to that is,
NO.

I recorded a walk through of our new home, & took some pictures.

Wait a second...
What's that in the corner? :confused:

537t.jpg

SOUND THE ALARMS!
I hate to say this...
but we've got a sleeper on our hands! :scared1:

Of course, that changed immediately.
Excuse me Ryan, but we don't sleep in Disney.
Get used to it!

Right after I woke Ryan up, there was a knock on our door.
Huh?
I opened the door &....
OH HEY LUGGAGE!
It made it there safely & quickly. ::yes::

I quickly claimed my spot & emptied out my suitcase.

Then, it was time to go! We were wasting valuable park time here people!

We left our room & walked straight to the bus stop, conveniently located right next to the building next to us! WOO!

As we walked up to the bus stop, our bus was here!
Where were we going?
What would Ryan think of his first Disney bus ride?
You'll find out soon!

Next!

Ahhahahahha. THE MAGIC EXPRESS IS COMING :)
That tunnel in the Detroit airport is so much fun! I love how the music matches the colors. It's like therapy.
YAAAAY! & ohmygosh, I know! If I wasn't on my way to Disney I would've stood in there for awhile! :hyper:


Loving your TR :) can't wait to read about your Trip.
Thank you!

 
Just found your report and am hooked.

Can't wait for more.
 
YAY!!! I've never stayed at CSR, but I always think their rooms look beautiful! Did you like it there?

SLEEPING?! Hahahah well, at least he got SOME sleep, right? ;)
 
I want to apologize beforehand for the complete lack of pictures for this update,
it was Ryan's first night at Disney & we were too into soaking it all in that I literally don't think I touched my phone or camera all night..
This will change!
Promise

--------------

We jumped on to the Magic Kingdom bus! Yay!
I couldn't even sit still.
Soon enough we were passing under the beautiful Magic Kingdom gates,
& I was all but screaming at Ryan to look at everything,
sorry boo, it's what you signed up for, ;) :love:

At this point, I was basically dragging Ryan,
I mean, "HELLO!? THE CASTLE IS SO CLOSE RIGHT NOW?"
Ugh, he'll get it eventually.

& then suddenly,
we were walking right down the middle of Main Street USA, :rolleyes1
I finally had some form of a thought to take a picture,
finally
538mo.jpg

My love<3

I had asked everyone what Ryan's very first ride should be,
& I had a thousand different answers, so I decided to just let him decide.
So we headed on over to Tomorrowland,
to SPACE MOUNTAIN!

We got right in line, & only waited about 15 minutes.
Ryan sat in the front, & I sat behind him, & some random little girl was behind me.

&&&&&&&&

HE LOVED IT!
As we were going up the ramp past all of the cameras he said,
"That was a lot more fun than I imagined."
Oh darling, you have no idea what's to come. :rotfl:

My turn to pick!
We walked past all the construction of New Fantasyland,
attempting to peak at all the things, but to no avail.
As we walked past every ride in Fantasyland, I kept apologizing to them,
saying we would be back to ride them soon!

I didn't want them to feel sad, I love them all! :lovestruc

Finally we made it to absolute favorite ride.....

Splash Mountain! :hyper:

The wait said 45 minutes, but actually ended up being about 10!
score!

We were in the 3rd row, but no one was put behind us.
I'm unsure why the following picture exists, but I swear I don't usually look like this.. :confused:
539n.jpg

So yeah..

540u.jpg

This was just excitement overload, I think I was going to explode.

541vv.jpg

It was cloudy, or this would have been a better picture,
but, this exact place in all of Disney World is my absolute favorite.
At day time or at night.
When I think of the happiest place on Earth, I think of this exact place. :cloud9:

Of course, the ride was perfect.
I sang obnoxiously, got a few odd glances from the people in front of us,
but hey, whaddya gonna do?

The rest of the night involved more perfect riding,
showing Ryan everything obnoxiously,
tons & tons of fireworks,
& many, many snacks that I cannot remember.

542w.jpg



We were so caught up in the magic that I have no more pictures for the day, but as I said, all the others I have a lot more for!
We were just too excited on our first night at Disney! :earboy2:

Once we returned to Coronado, Ryan was beyond exhausted & fell right to sleep, Disney novice.. ugh, he'll get there, :laughing:

I showered, watched some more Stacey (of course), & then fell asleep around 1:30.


Highs of the day!
-Landing early
-Magical Express
-GETTING TO DISNEY! :jumping1:
-Our luggage getting there with no problems
-Ryan's first time seeing the castle
-Splash Mountain<3
-basically everything

Lows of the day!
-Ryan sleeping & wasting park time!


NEXT!

 
DA DA DAAAA!
The first full day at Disney begins NOW!

My alarm went off around 6AM, I regret this completely now.
I woke up at 6 almost every morning to straighten my hair,
but it rained EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. of our trip, & completely ruined my hair.
So that explains why I look like a complete goober with messed up hair.
Anyways.
So I got myself all ready & woke Ryan up around 7.

We took this picture, where my hair looks awkward.
543f.jpg

So there was that...
but that's okay, we were excited. :rotfl:

We took a few more hotel mirror pictures, for reasons unknown.
544on.jpg

D'awh, :lovestruc
545h.jpg


So after that, we walked to the bus stop.
What bus would we get on?
Well, we took the bus that brought us here....
603x.jpg

Animal Kingdom! :simba:
Yay!
We walked to Expedition Everest & got us some FastPasses,
then we made our way to,
Dinosaur!
547qj.jpg

May I direct your attention to the girl in the back of this picture,
HAHAHAH. :rotfl2:
548aj.jpg

Just waiting in line, you know.
549df.jpg

Dino chillin'
550w.jpg

I was afraid...
not of the dinosaur though,
of what the rain had already done to my poor hair. :eek:

Luckily we made it back with our Dino & avoided the meteors.
PHEW, sigh of relief.

It was time for our EE fastpasses!
So we trekked our way back over,
the standby line said 10 minutes, so before we used our fastpasses we jumped on in that line!
551gu.jpg

Wonder how much change is actually in there?
552bm.jpg

Ryan probably threw at least 10 dollars in there.
He absolutely loved it. :rotfl:
555dj.jpg

Then this happened...
556g.jpg

His exact words were,
"Ohmygod, take my picture with this thing!"
Goober.
557d.jpg

Yeah, goober central.
I saw it said cat & got a little too excited.

At this point in line, Ryan made a lifechanging statement..
I caught it on camera, & actually made him repeat himself.
It will most definitely be in the final video, don't worry.
But we're standing by the destroyed campsite, & he says,
"You know, Disney isn't anywhere near as boring as I thought it would be. I love it here.
I know what you are thinking,
"How can anyone think Disney is going to be boring?!"
I know, I thought the same thing.
He was not brought up in a Disney household, (poor thing)
so this statement was MONUMENTAL.
I about cried right there in line.

More pictures ensued.

558g.jpg

FOOT!
photo0001fourbysix.jpg

Yay! Everest! WOO! :banana:

We took a few more pictures in front of the mountain, :)
562bz.jpg

561ed.jpg


We used our fastpasses right after & got right back on,
then Ryan was begging to go on Kilimanjaro Safari & see the animals,
so we headed on over towards to Africa!


Up next,
a super fun character meet, adorable bracelets, & more animal fun!

NEXT!

 
YAY!!! I've never stayed at CSR, but I always think their rooms look beautiful! Did you like it there?

SLEEPING?! Hahahah well, at least he got SOME sleep, right? ;)

I absolutely loved it, I stayed there years ago when my family went down for Christmas one year, but I don't remember a thing from then.
We were originally going to stay at Pop, but CSR was only like 200$ more, so we thought WHY NOT?!
I love the theming here & the rooms are perfect!
& HA! I know!? NO SLEEPING ANYMORE!

 
Oh my gosh, you are adorable! Can we be friends?!?!? I miss Disney so much and reading thus TR has made me all giddy and sappy. Keep them coming!!!
 
OH MY GOODNESS... I just had the most brilliant idea. When we have our big epic monorail shirt wearing DISmeet with everyone, WE NEED TO ALL RIDE SPLASH MOUNTAIN TOGETHER. I mean... WE JUST HAVE TO. :hyper:

We have the exact same happy place within our happy place! That spot is BEYOND perfect. There is nothing better!!! :cloud9:

Your mirror hugging picture is hilarious and adorable.
