1/12 : DTD p2 - The "I DID IT! I got DBF Addicted to Disney" TR; now with FOOD PORN!

[DominicaAnne]

Hi there! Great TR so far. I followed you over from your dining review thread. I'm looking forward to hearing how you got DBF hooked on that Disney feeling.

We're flying out of Buffalo for our Thanksgiving trip. Jet Blue and Southwest both have direct flights to and from Orlando from Buffalo, just FYI for your next trip. It's so awesome to just have to get on one plane and then poof! you're in Orlando.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

WooHoo can't wait for more! Glad you had such a good time!

 

[fan4mickey]

Oh my Gosh! You made me crack up with the visual of DBF running and screaming from the frog. Great report so far!

An Upgrade!!

So what happened with our room?
Well we got to front desk and we told them about the stain and they said unfortunately they were completely booked up due to free dining but they would move us in the morning. I had asked the lady if there was any way we could get a king sized bed room in the morning, but she said that she wouldn’t be able to do that. So we were told they would call us in the morning and if we wanted to move rooms then we could just leave our luggage, go to the parks and come pick our key after the parks. We said ok and off we went back to the room, which was much easier to find this time. Too bad we still couldn’t find Craigs bandana (but don’t worry hes over it!)

Once we got back to the room we decided that we would just stay in the room because we wanted to just get unpacked and it was just some small stains, who cares? If they were just going to move us to another double bed room anyways there would really be no difference so why go through the trouble of moving... that and the fact that I wanted to unpack and not worry about it.. And besides we were away from the noise and near the computer pool. So we grabbed a quick snack of chips, unpacked and then went to sleep around 3am! Good thing we had a late reservation in the morning.

So we woke up the next morning at 9am for our 11am reservation, and even though I should have been exhausted I was awake and super excited! We checked our voicemail and we did have a message to call front desk, so I did and just as I was about tell them we would just stay in our room they said that they were giving us a preferred room, king sized bed with a fridge in the 70s building! YAY!! I was super happy, especially after sleeping with Craig in a very small double bed lol and we quickly packed back up and started to get ready for the day. As I was getting ready the phone rang again and Craig answered it and told someone to come on over... I assumed that it was the guy for our luggage, but I was wrong!!!

So who came to the door anyways?? I’ll give you a hint... It wasn’t the bellboy and it was something(s) that made me very happy!

I am so excited to read your TR. I am a huge Disney fanatic and my husband has never really been! I am taking him on his first real trip in October and I hope I can convert him!

Looking forward to reading more!

thank u! and welcome! im sure you'll be able to convert him! seems like most of the people on here trying to convert thier DH or DBFs are able to do it with one trip!

Great start! I think I am the only person on the DIS who never gets towel animals. LOL.

Can't wait for more.

haha well dont worry we only got one in each room and both were small!

Heyy joining in!!! We were at POP the 19th-25th so our dates overlapped!! Hope you got a different room!

heyy! welcome!!! and we did hehe

I'm on board! I leave in 30 days and am going to live through your trip report!

haha well i feel special! welcome along!

Hey girl IM IN! joining you from your PTR!!! cant wait to read... GREAT START so far !!!

thank u!!!! glad you're enjoying it!!

How was the Castle Dream Suite?Just remember moths,frogs,etc.are not ONLY at Value Resorts.In fact,the only snake I have seen at any Resort I was staying at was at Port Orleans-Riverside(sorry,but Value Resorts get "picked on" a lot ).I am going to guess that you got transferred to an IllumiNations-View room or a Preferred Room(at no extra cost).

haha i wish it was the castle dream suite!! i know they probably aren't and we didnt see any again after that night, the reason being was we thought the delux and mods were all indoor hotels but we found our later thats not the case!

and we did get the prefered room so great guess!

Can't wait to hear about what happens!! I hope you got an upgrade!

we did!!!

Aw man...you guys are so cute. You make me miss my boy. He's deployed right now for the army. And the last time I flew out to see him (the night before he left), we were going to split the cost but then he paid for everything so I wouldn't have to worry about having money for Disney. It made my heart melt when he said that. Aw.

Anywho, when he gets out of the army, we are planning on going on a Disney vacation. I think we're doing definitely doing the parks, but then also going on a cruise. I can't wait. Stay on the Dis and you and Craig should come with us!! lol!! It'll be a few years though...but thats okay!

aww thank u!!! im sorry to hear abvout your man, at least u have that cute little guy of yours at home with u to keep you company! he sounds like a sweetie though and i cant wait to read your ptr for that trip! and who knows maybe we will see ya there hehe

Hey! Sorry I just caught up on things, I've had a really busy weekend! Love your trip report so far. That's so yucky about the stains! I really hope he finds his bandana and that you don't have to live with the stains. I'm heading over to your dining report now!

no problem lady! glad you're liking it! stains are yucky, even in disney and unfortunatly he did not find the bandana!

Wow I have alot to catch up on! Ok I love the luggage pic!! So true, so true! I'm glad you had a good flight! It was the same way for me, very weird to have Ian on the plane with me but very exciting!! Ian was definitely talking about our next trip by like the second day too! Ugh sorry about the stains, how gross. We didn't have any problems with our room. Hmm I wonder what's going to happen with your room! We had a tough time finding our room too and it was in the 60s section like right next to the main building! I hope things go better for you!!

haha i thought it was pretty clever if i do say so myself! haha silly boyfriends, gotta love em!
man that place is so confusing at first walk around, especially at 1am!

Woo hoo, updates and now you're there!! Ick to moths and frogs, but at least no love bugs!!!

haha yes ive heard of those... and no palmetto bugs!

[DisneyFaeriePrincess]

[DLo]

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Are you kidding me????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[GusT]

[shordiebecka]

ohhh I wonder who/what it is????? Tell us tell us!

Congrats on the upgrade btw...what a sweet deal! did you take pictures of the updgrade room?

 

[WEDWDW]

Since my Preferred Room guess was right,I am going to guess the person coming to your room was from the Disney Florist and was bringing you flowers.

 

[Vallie]

Surprise!


So I went to the washroom and when I came out I see Craig holding this......
(this photo is a dramatization just for you guys! Haha)

Heres a better look!

In the basket was chocolates, a signed mickey and Minnie picture, cookies, champaigne and two glass flutes with a mickey head pattern. He then told me he chose this as my surprise because he wanted to keep the flutes to use at our wedding.

Craig had actually video taped me when I came out but it accidently got deleted! : ( But I was just so happy I literally jumped on him (after he put the surprise down of course!)

And then I got my second surprise........

This super pretty promise ring with my birthstone! <3 <3 <3

I could not believe he got all this for me and went through organizing and planning this all for me! It was just more then I could ask for and I was almost in tears!

That really started the morning wonderfully so with that we were off to our first taste of Disney at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian. (uP next)
