[shippedtosea]

Hey all!

Me and DH just got back from a 8 day vacation at our favorite place, WDW! We are both sad to be back to reality, so I'm very excited to start this TR so I can relive our adventures.

Introducing your characters

Jenn (25) and Luke (31)
We have been married for one year and decided to go back to WDW to celebrate! This year we are staying at the Boardwalk Villas from June 5 to June 12!

So please come along with us on our adventures through the best place on earth!

Hey all! sorry it took me a while to start, things got a bit crazy.

Day 0

So I had to work the day before so I packed up all the bags

"Anyone seen a bunny?"
and headed to work early that morning. Leaving DH home sound asleep and having to pack up our kitty for her sleep over at "grandma's" (my mom).

So after work I headed to the train to head to my mom's because she was nice enough to drive us to the airport for our crazy early flight, 6:00 am! So..I get a call from DH while i'm on the train to tell me that he forgot his contacts at the apartment! so....this means that we have to go back to the apartment before the airport to get them......blah.

So 2:30am we are up and out ready to go. I slept about 2 hours...haha. So quick stop at the apartment contacts in hand and we are headed for the airport! Check in was super quick and easy...I would hope so being that it was like 4:30am..We headed and got some snacks to keep us going and waited for our plane.

So I am awful at taking photos on the plane so....I'm sorry. It was super uneventful.....I slept for like the whole ride and DH read "Behind the Magic". Before we knew it we heard music to our ears....we were landing!

We scooted through the airport and go on our first ride!

Then we followed the castles!

and we got in the line to go home!

Because it was like 8:00am in the morning they put everyone on one bus. so we all headed on...to a Meers bus dressed up with Expedition Everest pictures (I guess its better than the yellow one...) and I got super excited.

Soon enough we were seeing that beautiful sign.....which btw I could not get a picture of because we were way in the back! We stopped first at Pop then we were home at the Boardwalk!

We were greeted by a cast member and brought to check in! This really impressed us. There was no line at all so we got a choice of like 5 cm who all were like "Pick me!"

We checked in quickly, were given Anniversary pins! and told the magical words "Your room is ready!" We were very shocked and delighted. We grabbed our packet, bought our hopper tickets and then headed to find our room!

We were super close to the elevators, which I was worried about because that seemed to be a complaint.

Oswald's perch

and our view!

I really liked our room it was nice a spacious! I thought the color scheme was cute and welcoming.

So I'm gonna leave you all with that. Heres a hint for whats up later in the day

 

[hstrickland]

Great pictures! So this was a BCV studio garden view, right? Just curious...are you DVC owners or did you just want a studio instead of a regular room?....just being nosey...another question...do all rooms have balconies? I'm so not familar with the Boardwalk area...we are usually MK resort people...have 3 kids that MK and that's where they always want to stay. One day we will venture out

I see that y'all are going on a cruise! Us, too....we can hardly wait! Which boat are you cruising on?

Can't wait for more!

Hi! Just wanted to say that I'll be following along I read your dining report from your last trip a long time ago. (I knew you guys looked familiar when I opened your thread. Clicked on the dining report link and yep!, I'd read it ) I'm pretty sure I never commented though so I wanted to get in on this one!

I love seeing all of the different resorts in TR. I would love to stay at an Epcot resort one day. DH is hooked on the Contemporary though for now. I love it too but I would like to try something different. Maybe one day I can talk him into somewhere else.

Can't wait to hear about your whole trip!

Hey thanks! Yeah I believe it was a garden view. We actually rented the points from another diser. We got a studio because...it was cheaper All the rooms that aren't on the first floor have balconies, the first floor has like a deck. We had a hard time not staying at a MK resort....we love it very much but we wanted a change from our honeymoon so we choose BWV. It was nice because we could walk to Epcot and HS.

Yep! we are super excited. We are on the June 10th sailing of the Magic first Canada sailing!

Thanks for following

Welcome! thanks for reading our dining review! I might be doing one for this as well....just all in one (haven't decided......have to decide soon! haha)

You should def try a different area resort...it was a nice change...though...I don't think I'll convince DH to do it again he loves being right near the MK.

The room looks awesome! I would love to stay at Boardwalk some day.

You really should! We rented DVC points and saved so much money. It wasn't much more than if we stayed at a value!

Thanks! Welcome! Yeah I feel the same way, so sad to leave. Congrats on your anniversary.

 

[shippedtosea]

sorry for the delay! Where was I?

Day 1 part 2

So after poking around our room for a while we were itching to get out. We had been in contact with a fellow diser that we had met on our honeymoon, weedee, because we really wanted to meet up with them before they flew back home. So we made plans to meet up with them at DTD in an hour....so we first dashed over to Epcot to get fastpasses for later.

We took some photos along the way

We got to International gateway! Which was our first time there. I loved how quickly we could get to Epcot! it was so awesome. So we headed through the gates. I could have screamed with happiness! 2 hours off a plane and we were in Epcot. World Showcase wasn't open yet so we walked slowly through, it really is nice to see it so empty.

As we were rounding our way into future world we hit these guys

I was excited because I really wanted to go early this year so we could catch the end of Flower and Garden....so at least I got to see them!

Then we saw a beautiful sight

We then headed over to get fastpasses for Mission Space....we quickly realized the wait was like 10 mins....so we decided to grab Test Track instead (which was like 45 by then). We really didn't want to leave Epcot without riding anything....so we headed to one of my faves and one we knew there would be no line.

I know everyone hates this ride but it makes me smile and I love the song.

Then we rushed back to our hotel to grab a bus and get down to DTD.

We met up and grabbed a sandwich from Earl. Which has unconsciously become our first day tradition.

I am very sorry and forgot to take pictures but we always get the same thing soooo...

DH got The Full Montagu - Freshly roasted beef, roast turkey, mustard sauce, Swiss/cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato

and I got Veggie - Feta Cheese, lettuce, roma tomatoes, cucumber, red onions, roasted red peppers and mediterranean dressing

Then we walked around and hit Days of Christmas. We wanted our traditional ornament four our anniversary.

We ended up getting some of these....DH took this picture before I noticed them! I will take a photo of our and post it soon.

We also grabbed a milk and cookies plate and cup for our nephew for Christmas this year.
We also hopped into trend-d....where I found a shirt from Disney Couture that I really wanted but I didn't like the price!

Then we decided to parted ways because we really wanted to get on some rides! So we said a sad goodbye and we headed to the buses. which took FOREVER. We has just missed a bus and watched two of every other bus go by before our came. So it took like and hour and twenty to get back which really bugged us.

We got back to Boardwalk and decided to change for our ADR that night before heading back to Epcot. We used our fastpasses for Test Track, which was fun. Then we headed over to Universe of Energy.

This was something on our to do list because we hadnt tried it yet. I liked it...I donno why people never go on it. I wouldn't go on it a million times but its fun at least once!

We then jumped on Mission Space Orange. I didn't like it the first time we went but this time I did! and DH decided he didn't. hahaha so only orange time for us.

By then it was time for us to head over to the Poly because we had an ADR at Ohana's!

Up next

 

[hstrickland]

I'm anxious to see how you liked Ohana! We went there, too...love the Poly...it's one of my favorite resorts!!!
