Ray wants to go to Epcot again??
Love your Wishes pictures... Wishes
i'm a little late here, but i'm new on the block and i just started to read trip reports!! i've read 3/4 of yours tonight .
(slow night at work ) i'm just lovin it! i have 3 kids , so i love to hear how it works when it's an adult only trip. i see my future..................just a trip with me and dh!! one day.
i can't wait to read the rest!!! you guys make such a cute couple!!
Love the update Dawn! I think my comments to the annoying family would have went something like.........."wow! It sure is hard to get pictures of the fireworks when there is an obnoxious light saber in my face!" I have a feeling you would have used the same sarcasm!!
Ray and I were just talking the other day that we will have to ride the carousel this time as well!!!
Great update...I am super jealous of your sister...my countdown ticker can't move fast enough.
Hi Dawn,
Just loved this update as I do all of your updates. You guys had so much fun at MK, you got so much in that evening after dinner. That is so cool about Cinderellas horse, I have never heard of that but will definitely look for it next time - Lauren will think that is so cool! Loved your WISHES pictures and videos! That family has some nerve, I hate it when people do that kind of rude stuff to ruin the magic. The picture of the tangled cords is halarious! Ray just continues to surprise doesn't he? It took us a bit to get hooked on Epcot and the World Showcase too, but once we both fell for it we fell hard, looks like he has too. Can't wait for more

Great fireworks pictures The kid with the light sabre would have POed me as well.
I love the teaser pic for the next installment. That type of tour is on our itinerary as well.
Dawn- You guys had a lot of fun in fantasyland, without kidlets. I love those rides. LOVE THEM! I really want to run into the stepfamily whilst I am there. I saw them from a far a few trips ago, but they were still fairly new regulars out, so they were swarmed!
So now with the fireworks, how DID that child get in front of you? Did you ever say anything to him? I am the type of mom who doesn't stay quiet, especially if it effects me or mine. I would have said, "Sweetheart, I need you to keep that toy to your self, so I can take photos with out your items in them." If that didn't work, I would tell the parents, remove the child with the toy or I WILL take photos of your family and plaster them on the internet. well at least I would of "thought" that last one.
You crack me up with your comments on the family in front of you. That response is something that I would say, except I would probably say it a little louder and let them know that they were in my way. That is one of my pet peeves while at Disney. We usually find a place for the parade 1 1/2-2 hours before parade time, so I get a little ticked when people wait until the last minute to find a place and then they try and cram under the rope and smash me or try and take up room I'm saving for my family. Anyway, loved the update! Happy to hear that Brooke and her BF are having a good time this go around.
I loved the end of the last video where we can hear you say "Just let them go!" You crack me up! I would have been the same way. As much as Disney's the Happiest Place on Earth it's SO easy to get annoyed by inconsiderate and plain ol' stupid people in the parks. UGH! At least you got some awesome pictures out of the deal because your pictures of the fireworks after you moved the camera came out great!
Punkin413, i'm new to the boards and i've been lurking on disboards for a while now and I came across your Trip Reports and I just wanted to say that they are so entertaining and awesome. I love your latest updates!
So TOTALLY jealous!
Great update! I would have been furious at the kid and his lightsaber, too. I always try to go out of my way to make sure my kids aren't bothering other people -- I don't know why others can't do the same thing! Your pictures still turned out fantastic, though!
You and Ray look like you had a fabulous time in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland!
That's too funny about Ray's suggestion about Epcot -- I found out that alcohol was the key to Charles's happiness at Epcot, too, on our past trip!
Look they're turning into Disney fanatics just like us. Glad she and Jon are having fun. Love your latest installment. Great pictures of the fireworks. Yucky for those parents.
loved the last installation. (btw, sorry if there are typos in this installation bc my puppy dog is layin on my lap asleep while im sitting at the computer and im having to hold her with my left arm and type with only my right) whew this is tiring. Anyways im gonna steal your shadow idea if you don't mind. Only thing is, while DH loves disney (not as much as me though!) he's not too int ears... I'll keep working on him though!
Yay LGMHs and BMHs!
WOW those pictures of wishes are amazing, what camera do you use??? Im the same way, I get annoyed with stupid people at disney too...Especially when its parents who are disregarding their children lol. I cant believe they told her no camera on the phone...what a shame because when scott and i went they offered to take pics of us with my camera.... I love drinking around the showcase... I should make a shirt that says "I love drinking around the World Showcase!" haha
I love the shadow photo, who needs a silouette done
What a horrid boy, glad Ray calmed you down though and lovely Wishes photos
great update and pics.
Disney World is for kids? I don't think so, I think it is for all.
The lightsabre would have bothered me. that is just rude.
Had a whole buncha multi-quotes but my computer is not cooperating. Grrrrr...
Yeah for the idea of a mini meet in Connecticut! Keep it in mind when you head up this way!
As several others have said, that little girl's expression looking at the wicked stepsister is priceless. She's looking at her like "lady, what is your problem?" Luckily it looks like she recovered in time for the group photo when she's grinning.
Your carousel pictures are too cute. I love that you both wear your ears. The shadow picture was very creative and came out great!
Would you believe I've never seen Mickey's Philharmagic?? Planning to rectify that in October.
The Speedway... again you two are too cute. I loved this as a kid but haven't been in >20 years probably. Maybe I'll put that on the list for October too. I've heard they are trying out hybrid cars for the ride but they aren't working so well. With the price of gas and environmental concerns seems like a good idea to me.
I'm always looking for a good spot for Wishes - yours sounds good minus the "get-a-room/light-saber-wielding" family. What is with people?? My goodness if the world were just as perfect as us... But seriously that would have REALLY annoyed me-- you and Ray handled it well! And your pictures came out great!! Even the one w/ the light saber.
Glad your sis is having a good time. I like living vicariously through the "live" what is she doing now reports
And have to agree with Charleston Princess that alcohol is often the key to happiness
Great updates!! I love your updates about your sister--when my brother and family were at Disney last month, I did the same thing throughout the day. It is fun thinking about others enjoying the magic!!!
Great update!!! The pictures are just awesome as always!!!
I would have took that light saber and threw it as far as I could!
Great update dawn!!! I love your castle shots..glad to see the obnoxious family didn't ruin your creativity or good time!
LOVe the preview pick of the beers from Epcot..this will be a doozy coming up i suspect
punkin, can i make a small off topic request? If you get a second, would you or anyone else for that matter mind reviewing my upcoming adr ideas? You seem to have good-food taste and great planning and I'd appreciate it if you could give me some pointers. Plus it looks like you may have been to most of the ones I haven't! Thanks in advance!

Also, any updates on your sis' trip??
punkin....I've been lurking for some time reading everyone'e TR and loving every word.
It makes the wait till our trip in Dec. worth it.
THANK YOU for paying attention to your children and teaching them how to be considerate of those around them. i wasn't necessarily mad at the kid, but his parents. THEY should know better. oh, and ray was definitely requiring that alcohol be involved in his epcot day. his not a big lush or anything but i think he wanted to give it a chance and figured that would be more fun!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That post was actually from me. I hate this, disboards seems to switch on me...one minute im under my name and the next im under my sisters...our names are so similar i never notice it before hand.
hahahah, Every Person Comes out Tanked! I love it...that would be on the back of the shirt hahaha. I have a sony cybershot too, a pink one...im gonna have to try the ISO setting next
That family would have annoyed me soooo much, and my fiance probably would have had to calm me down and stear me away as well
I mean, kids will be kids and you can't really expect them to know any better, but you would think that the parents would do their job and make sure that their child is not being rude or distracting to anyone else. I also absolutely can not stand people who make out in public...it's so gross. Some affection is fine (holding hands, a little peck or a snuggle) but full on making out..seriously....get a room!!!!!!
Can you tell I am angry?...lol and I wasn't even there
Hi Dawn! Loved the update! You guys had so much fun on all of the "little" stuff! I love to leave everything behind at the gate and be a kid again and do those types of things, too!
I'm glad you got to enjoy the fireworks in spite of little Darth Vader - great pics! I realized on my trip that I really need a new camera!
Hiya Dawn! Love the last installment! DH and I both sat there and watched your Wishes videos - great job! He read what you wrote about Ray calming you down after you got cross with the light sabre family, and said, "That's so us!!" Heh.
And then he said, "Hey! She's wearing your Chip & Dale shirt!" I had to explain that actually, I copied you, not the other way around. Hehee.
Does Ray love his iphone? I think I really want one! They've only just been released in Australia (I know, we're so behind!), and of course they're all sold out everywhere. Grrr! You'll have to let me know what Ray thinks of his.
Sorry about the rain Dawn! I'm sure Brooke and Jon had a good time regardless. At least most of the rides and attractions at Disney are indoors so there's always something to do in the rain. Keep us updated on whether or not they extend their tickets!
Awwww that's so cute!! I love it!speaking of ray's iphone, he make my ring tone the end of the wishes soundtrack, right where they start saying, "like a bolt out of the blue". how sweet is that???
Yeah my dog is my child for now; i mean why else would i type with one hand? Thanks again for giving me your dining tips!update on brooke and jon (again)..........just received a text from brooke that it's rained all day and night and they cancelled wishes and spectro. SUCH A BUMMER!!!! i feel so bad for them. i told her to add another day to their tickets and go back to MK on thursday before they leave to go to the beach. i don't know if they will or not....that was just my suggestion. the weather for the rest of the week in orlando is rain, rain and more rain.
Man, that stinks. I hope they get to extend it to see those 2!
cute about your puppy!!!! i love doggies. go ahead and steal the shadow idea....i don't mind! oh, and i got YMHs (yellow mickey heads) instead of lime green because i'm doing a yellow, white and black one in a vanderbilt theme for our september girls trip!
and sure, i will look at your thread and respond.....no problem!
