[amandaluvsgoofy]

You know I'm on board!! All the meal plans sound wonderful! After your last report I'm convinced the Biergarten will be on our next trip!
Can't wait to read more!

 

[klacey1]

Loveee Tonga Toast! Three parks- psh, no big deal! I am just like you-- the second I wake up, I wake up DBF and say "What are we doing today?" I just can't sit still and do nothing! Drives me crazy!!

 

[leamom2princesses]

Hi Lynn! It's been a while but I'm glad you are back. Looks like we will be missing you by a couple of days. I hope you have a wonderful trip and can't wait to read what you have planned.

 

[katiebelle21]

Hi Lynn! Welcome back---it was a nice surprise seeing your PTR today!

 

[noogagirl]

Yay you're back on the boards! I'm in.

I dream about Tonga Toast when I'm at home. We ate at Captain Cook's instead of Kona Cafe last trip, and it was so much easier...and cheaper.

 

[Disneylove1228]

let me know if you guys do!! i hope you do -- it was so much fun! she's great!
I want her to take more of us except at Epcot next time

Your days sound like ours... PACKED! lol! you know its worth it at the end though! i'd feel guilty if i didn't do everything i wanted to while I was there! LOVE your close-up of Tonga Toast! HAHA! wow!!

 

[wdwfan6]

Joining in! All of your plans look really good! Can't wait to read more.

 

[Dancegrl624]

Jumping over from Jenny's PTR. Your plans look great! I agree with you completely on Wed at MK. They're much less crowded.

 

[thechesters420]

I can't wait for your trip report!! I think your wedding one was the first trip report I ever read and I loved it!!

 

[DSNYGRL_JKS2006]

Hey Lynn! Just wanted to say have a great trip when you guys go!! We are heading down early morning Saturday May 22 to Charlotte,NC! We are seeing the NASCAR All Star Race Saturday night, staying over until Monday morning May 24th where we'll check out and head to Disney!!!

Have a blast girl! I look forward to reading your TR when your back, my boyfriend and I talked about doing a TR so maybe!

 

[jenny105]

Hi Lynn! Welcome back!

I can't believe your going again in June. Lucky girl! Your plans look great so far.

Thanks for sharing pictures from your January trip! I love how the castle looks when it's lit up for the holidays. SO pretty

 

[Lynn5700]

Food porn before bed is never a good thing Lynnie!! LOL!! I think I just gained 5 lbs.from your pics! Looks delish!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear more!!

HAHA, sorry, Kristen!

I agree about Wednesday being the best day for the Magic Kingdom -- we have always had great luck with the crowds, and I always schedule our big day there for a Wednesday!

Glad you have noticed it as well. I swear they it is the nicest day to go to the MK.

Your day 2 plans look great and that tonga toast looks heavenly! I never knew that Weds. were a slow day for MK, thanks for the tip. I wonder if it is because that is the mid way point of the vacation for most people and they do MK first.

No problem. It really is the best day for the MK. I think you are right. That makes sense.

Hi Lynn! Welcome back to the boards. I have read many of your other TRs and am glad to see another one from you. My family will be in Disney round the same time as you (05/31-06/05) we are staying at OKW.

Maybe we will run into each other!

Hi! Thanks! It is great to be back. OOh if you see me please say hello. And i will do the same if i see you. I love meeting other Disers when I go to Disney. You leave soon! YAY!

I've never tried Tonga toast, but that pic makes it look SO good! Mmm, I MUST try it. Good choice on Cosmic Ray's. It's definitely one of my favorite CS place in MK (my other is Peco Bill's). Gotta love any place that offers free cheese sauce!

Kirsten, you must try it, lol! HAHA, I love the cheese sauce from Cosmic Rays, lol! I like Pecos Bills as well.

Thanks Lynn!! I'm so glad we were able to stay in touch too!! FB is awesome!! You are going to be back in the world so soon!! YAY!! I can't wait to hear all about it!! I've missed your tr's so much!! You add an extra touch of sparkle to the already magical Disney World!!

Kimmy, I feel the same about your TRs as well. I love reading them. Your new PTR is so cute.

Love that picture of Tonga Toast! I feel like every time you do a PTR/TR the picture of Tonga Toast gets bigger and bigger! Yummmmm!

Hi Lynn!!! I'm so excited to see you back on the boards! I loved your pics on FB, but it just wasn't the same as reading a TR from you guys. Oh - and I finally tried tonga toast! While that's yummy, I think we still like the bread pudding more! YUM!

Hi! Thanks. I know, it's not the same. I want to do a little bit of that TR in this one. Just highlight on some stuff.

Ohana Bread pudding is the BEST!! OOh that is a tough choice for me. IDK which one is better, lol.

Yum! The Tonga Toast looks delicious! I must try it next time, just because I love fried dough

Yeah!! You have to try it!!

Loveee Tonga Toast! Three parks- psh, no big deal! I am just like you-- the second I wake up, I wake up DBF and say "What are we doing today?" I just can't sit still and do nothing! Drives me crazy!!

HAHA. I am the same way. I do not like just sitting still. As soon as I get up, I am doing something. I get up early and go to the hotel gym while Tim sleeps, then when I get back I wake him up and we head over to the parks.

You know I'm on board!! All the meal plans sound wonderful! After your last report I'm convinced the Biergarten will be on our next trip!
Can't wait to read more!

Hi!!! Yeah, Biergarten is so good!!! You will like it.

Hi Lynn! It's been a while but I'm glad you are back. Looks like we will be missing you by a couple of days. I hope you have a wonderful trip and can't wait to read what you have planned.

Hi! Me too. Aww man, that stinks. I would have loved to have said hello to you. I hope you have a great trip as well.

Hi Lynn! Welcome back---it was a nice surprise seeing your PTR today!

Hey! Aww, thanks.

Yay you're back on the boards! I'm in.

I dream about Tonga Toast when I'm at home. We ate at Captain Cook's instead of Kona Cafe last trip, and it was so much easier...and cheaper.

I love Captain Cookes. Gotta love the Dole Whip machine in there. lol

let me know if you guys do!! i hope you do -- it was so much fun! she's great!
I want her to take more of us except at Epcot next time

Your days sound like ours... PACKED! lol! you know its worth it at the end though! i'd feel guilty if i didn't do everything i wanted to while I was there! LOVE your close-up of Tonga Toast! HAHA! wow!!

She got back to me. I think we are going to book her next May. She told me that she doesn't book until like 2-3 months out, so we have time. May will be better because it will not be as busy.

HAHA. My pics of Tonga Toast get bigger and bigger every trip, lol.

Joining in! All of your plans look really good! Can't wait to read more.

Hi! Thanks. Should have an update soon.

Jumping over from Jenny's PTR. Your plans look great! I agree with you completely on Wed at MK. They're much less crowded.

Hi! Glad you realized that, too. it really is the best day.

I can't wait for your trip report!! I think your wedding one was the first trip report I ever read and I loved it!!

You too, GF. Oh that sounds fun. You should do one!!!

Hi, Jenny! Thanks. I want to post more pics from our January trip. Seeing the castle lit up in person is breathtaking. It's so beautiful.

 

[Megan76]

So glad you're back! I've followed several of your other PTR/TR and I was so sad when I thought you were leaving the boards permanently! I look forward to your posts

 

[glennbo123]

Hey, good to see another PTR/TR from you! I'm signing-up to follow along.

Congrats on completing the half-marathon! That's very impressive.

And yay for Animal Kingdom Lodge. Will you be at Jambo House or Kidani? We'll be at Kidani later in June (Coronado Springs on the 12th, then Kidani on 16th for the remainder of the week).

 

[Lynn5700]

Day 3​

On this day, we are going to go to DHS for rope drop and, of course, we will grab FP for TSM first thing, lol. I am still determined to beat Tim. Ooh and Lotso love Bear, or whatever his name is, the bear from Toy Story 3, is going to be in Animation Studios. He replaced the UP characters, so I definitely want to go see him, lol.

I don't have a breakfast or lunch planned, but most likely, we will have lunch at Pizza Planet.

We have a dinner ADR at...

One of our favorites!! YUM!! We love the manager from here. He is so funny.

Look how pretty the France pavilion was in January. I love the light touch of Christmas Decorations.

This is probably my favorite window in Disney. It is gorgeous.

and look who I found... she is so cute.

They are having EHM from 9-12 P.M. this night. I love walking around the countries at night. It's really calm and peaceful. I don't know if we will stay till 12, though.

Coming up next- DHS Star Wars day! The info came out today, so I have to look over the schedules, and then I will post the plans. OOH and AK is not coming up for a while... We will make 1 small visit. Tim is happy about that. He does not like it there for some reason.

 

[Lynn5700]

Hi, Megan. Thanks. Nah, nothing can keep me away from the boards. I did need the break though. Honestly, I was just too busy with school, so I would not have had the time anyway. This fall is going to be insane. Our next trip is in May 2011, so when I am done with this TR, I will start my PTR. We are going on the Disney Dream!! I cannot wait.

Hi! Thank you so much! OMG, I went for a run earlier today, and wiped out! I mean wiped out. My left knee is so swollen, lol. I am going to do a half marathon in Sept and Nov... I am thinking about doing it in January again down in Disney, but I have my May trip next year, so we will see.

Jambo house. We love it there. I have not stayed in Kidani yet. Let me know how you like it.

Wiped out, like hit the ground, bit the dust, wiped out? Yikes.

I run about 3 miles most weekdays at lunchtime, but I don't have a big desire to do much more than that!

Jambo house. We love it there. I have not stayed in Kidani yet. Let me know how you like it.

We stayed at Kidani last year also and loved it! But you can't beat the Jambo House lobby and the smells coming up from Boma.

 

[jenny105]

TSM! I love it! I have to beat everybody cause I'm the only one going who's ever been on it before. I will be shamed if someone beats me! Kick Tim's butt this time!!

I think a lot of people feel that way about AK. There's isn't a whole lot to do. I like AK but I can't make an entire day out of that park.

 

[Disneylove1228]

Lynn you make me laugh when you say Tim doesn't like AK! LOL
Actually, I don't care for it much either.. it was my favorite park (besides Epcot) there for a few months, but now i could leave easily without going to it. Kim told me it's the hottest park! (8 deg higher on average!)

Love your plans! Have you ever beaten Tim on TSM yet?? Omg Kev played against me with his LEFT hand and still kicked my butt!!

And I have to agree with you about the window in France, it's just beautiful!

Do you have FB? I can add you as a friend and you can see the pics. OMG. It's so bad, lol. I could post them on here, but they look nasty. That is what I was doing. I was doing 3 miles, and when I made it to the first mile, I fell.

AHH, you have me so excited!! I cannot wait to get there. I know exactly what you are talking about.

LOL. I think it is so hot because it is more congested. Everything is closed in more. You know what I mean? NOOO! I have not beaten Tim. I have to. I almost do, but then he comes back and wins in the end.

Aww, I know. It is so pretty.
