I just wanted to subscribe real quick and have to go back to read every post. Am enjoying your TR so far!
I love reading about your trip!!
oooh.... I am soo excited to go to World Showcase!! My daughter and I really want try for pearls too. Completely awesome that you got 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! How long did it take to get your ring set? It is very pretty!
Your description and pictures of Edo tempts me to try for an ADR when we go in December! YUM!
anxiously awaiting another installment! I've been on the TR board now that I'm back and trying to get my report done!
Great trip report & fantastic pictures. I wasn't planning an excursion over to DTD on our upcoming trip, but after seeing your lego pics you've sold it - it's on my must do list!
You've also got me thinking about all the different ways to get around bus/boat/monorail. I'm going to go back over our plans & make sure I notate all the ways to get where we're going.
Thank you for the great report, keep it coming!
Glad to see another installment! Also glad to hear someone went to the minigolf course! We love that one, better than the fantasia gardens...oops, giving away something for my TR! Not sure how to post the link to it...but it's titled CR/YC, no adrs and one killer upgrade!
sorry to hear you didn't feel well! Also sorry about Yak and Yeti. We've never done the counter service, but the table service is one of our favorites! I got sick once like that, and it was after eating at Earl of Sandwich. Convinced it was food poisoning. Hopefully it didn't ruin too much of your trip! Love WS too! We always spend a ton of time at Epcot.
Poor Shelley... I HATE when my tummy gets upset! And I hate that you missed your beloved Wishes! Seems like Disney should broadcast that on their tvs for people... hmm...
Love the trip report! Sorry about that lady at Tony's. RUDE! Incidentally, the last time we were at Disney, I had an experience on a bus that made me think common courtesy for most people has gone down the toilet. To this day when I think about it my blood pressure goes up a notch. I am so jealous of your stay at CR. My parents stayed there before I was born (about 32 years ago). I have always wanted to spend at least one night there but with kids POP wins out every time. Can't wait to read more!
Long story short, my mom took our family for my 5 year old son's golden birthday last March. I told him that we would do astro-orbiter once it got dark but totally forgot until we were steps away from leaving the park after fireworks etc. His little disappointed look and sad eyes just broke my heart even though I was beyond ready to leave so I took him while everyone else went back to the room. By the time we rode the ride and got back to the bus stop, the line was long and it had been a long, long day so he was already falling asleep before we were even close to getting on a bus. He isn't big or anything but a 5 year old fast asleep is a lot to carry around period so when we finally got on the bus and it was standing room only I was getting nervous and the ride back to POP isn't the shortest either. So here I am standing up trying to hold on and not fall with a sleeping child in my arms, obviously struggling, and not a single person offered me their seat. There were men sitting around me, several people in their 20's and a kid maybe 17 right in front of me and not one person moved a muscle. I was on the verge of tears because I kept trying to wake him since I really thought several times I was going to fall but he was just dead to the world at that point. I don't know maybe it isn't as bad as it seemed like at the time (it still makes me mad) but I just thought that people would be better than that you know? Needless to say, we are taking a car next time to avoid a similar situation. Ok sorry to divert the positive vibes from your wonderful trip report hehe. Now back to regularly scheduled magic!
I have missed os much I guess thats what happens when you go almost a month without logging on
But I m here now! All of your meals looked amazing. Especially Earl I love sandwiches!! We didnt get to end up eating there because we werent hungry during our two DTD trips...maybe next time
Brian had also wanted to putt putt and we didnt. That course looks like so much fun it will be a must do on our next trip for sure!
I am new to the Dis and your TR is one of the first I've read (in its entirety!!!) I'm taking my first WDW with my family next November (2011) and staying at the Contemporary (my *DREAM* resort - I've wanted to stay here since I was a lil kid!) It still doesn't feel *real* that I will be there in a year
I've *loved* your TR!!! You and your DH are so cute (the pic you took of him with his soda at the beginning of the trip - after telling him you'll be taking pics of the food - is SO something my DH would/will do - LOL!)
I'd never heard about the Pick a Pearl thing at EPCOT til these boards - and seeing your pics - I *get* it...how awesome you that got twins
And seeing all your meals *droooling* - many of the places you ate are on my list to eat at, too! FUN!
