Thanks for sharing this with us.

1. I think he'll say something like: "spending time with you and DD, and DD getting the special 'dreams' "

2. Hollywood and Vine?

3. Animal Kingdom

4. Spaceship Earth (because she liked when her face showed up on the monitor)

5. Most: Japan Candy Lady
Least: Parades

How'd I do this time?

 

[swwake]

Thanks so much Sharky!! Hopefully there's a tip or two that will help your very-soon-to-be trip!!!

I'm going to be actively reading your pre/post trip for October -- you'll have to take lots of notes so I can learn from you, if we go next year.

Loved your trip report Marshay! Can't wait till you start the next one. Keep us updated about the little pirate

Will do! Hopefully, I'll have more time on DIS land and everyone's TR, now that this is nearly over!

yes, we rode 2 times and at the end where you can answer questions about your preference, you show up in a little cartoon on your vehicle and on the big screen. You can also send it to your email on the computers at the end of the ride.

I see you are at 10 weeks now and see your ticker has changed.

I love watching it week to week

Glad I got a few right this time

1) What was DH's favorite thing about the trip? (OK this is the one I'll have to ask him about)

I will agree with you guys that I thought for sure he'd say, watching DD enjoy the park or even the Segway tour b/c he said he'd like to do that again. However, I will be tactful: his answer was that he enjoyed the view from our balcony...


2) What was DD's favorite restaurant?
She was just digging the Play-n-Dine Character meal -- you remember these photos! You got it both right!!

3) Which DVC will we try next?
a) Animal Kingdom
b) Wilderness Lodge
c) Boardwalk
d) Old Key West
e) Saratoga Springs

This was the famous "marshay trick question!" The answer is Animal Kingdom. Although we did already go to AK in Sept 07, the new Kidini Village opens up next year. This is supposed to be super cool, it's own pool playground, regular playground, restaurant, safaris, rooms, etc. I really hope we will be able to get in. Unfortunately, we won't be able to book the ressie until after we know the baby is fine which isn't much lead time when you're talking DVC...so realistically, we may just delay the vacation until spring 2010 or have to take whatever resort is available.

4) DD still talks about the ride vehicle of one of the rides she went on. Which one is it?

HINT: It's in Epcot.

Test Track. She remembers that the car is a convertible car and whenever she sees one on the road, she'll say, "Mommy, that car doesn't have a roof on it...it's a convertible, just like Test Track!" It's amazing what things they remember!

5) Of all the things we didn't get to do below, which one did I miss the most? and the least?
a) Parades
b) Voices of Liberty
c) Japan Candy Lady
d) Shopping at World Showcase

I always love hearing the Voices of Liberty but it seemed like we just weren't around the American Pavilion that much and they only sang in the afternoon anyway, which was our nap time. I'll have to make a special point to listen to them next time.

I was a bit sad (missed least) that I couldn't get to do any shopping at World Showcase. I always like to pick up a small bag or purse at China, little dishes at Japan aor candy treats in Germany. Oh well, probably much better on my wallet!

My next sonogram is Sept 9th. Since I am 38 years old, I am considered a "high risk" pregnancy. So we are going to have another ultrasound to make sure things are ok and to measure the thickness on the back of the head (down syndrome alert).

I will have to find your PTR. You guys, talk a lot??? Nah!!

I thought you would both appreciate and understand!

He never did give me a straight answer, so I told him then that's what I was going to post.

We got to choose the options (planner vs. go as you like, under sea vs outer space, etc.) and it customized the ending for us, but without our pictures. We could see Mom's screen in front of us too, and hers also just had a little animated person there. I remember at the beginning where it says "look at the screen so we can take your picture" and we looked at this blank, blue screen, and our picture didn't appear. The ride got stuck in that part in the dark with the stars where you turn around backwards. I wonder if that's what "broke" it.

could be. It was cute but you had to be sitting in an exact position in order to have your face fully appear correctly instead of the cartoon person.

Ok, unless anyone has any final thoughts or questions re: the May trip, I will send a note to the moderator to close this out

Your Disney vacation truly is over when your TR is over.

Wait! I still have to scrap my pages -- woo hoo!! It's not over yet!!

Thanks guys for the good thoughts.

I will close out this TR. When I do my Disney pages (currently working on Sept 07), I'll post to a new thread in the creative section and will have a link.
