10, 9, 8, 7…Partying with the mouse NYE 2009! Home and working on a TR.

Your Kate Gosselin mode! :lmao:

Love all of the pictures of the resorts. :goodvibes If I ever go during the holidays, I plan to resort hop. I'd like to do that anyway, but especially during the holidays.

That stinks that you had a headache. And I totally feel for you with the contacts! I wear glasses 99 % of the time, but that's mainly because I hate when my contacts get dry (and my eyes are pretty sensitive to them).

Did you get a picture of the kitchen sink???? :hyper:
 
I can't wait to see the pic of the Kitchen Sink. When we were at the world Chip kept trying to get someone to take him to get food & his CM kept telling him that he had to wait she would take him to Beaches & Cream if he was a good chipmunk & posed for the people. So I said "only do it Chip if she promises you the kitchen sink." The CM laughed & Chip jumped up & down & shook his head yeas.
 
Well… 30 minutes! My head is pounding at this point. It is a very loud place. I am tried of waiting and what happens? The lights go down and sirens start going off and I was confused as to what was happening. Maybe I am starting to hallucinate. Someone announced something about the kitchen sink and everything that it has in it, and then it was placed on our table.

DH was telling everyone at beaches and cream, that it is was only for DS to eat.

Everyone clapped in the restaurant. Not only did my head hurt and I felt like crap I now have a million of people staring at me. I tried to be cheerful, and could not believe I felt so bad. Here I am in my happy place eating at beaches and cream fulfilling on of my top ten must dos and I feel sick. I ate a little bit of ice cream. I recommend saying no peanuts unless you like peanut butter ice cream; they gave us lots of it. The cake was good, I like angel Cake. DH and DD liked the chocolate cake. DH swore he got a gum drop. We don’t believe him and he said well when you get home ask your DISER’S. Anyone? So we finished up the kitchen sink, as you see DH and DS had no problem eating it.

DS likes ice cream!
We head over to the beach club resort to look around. We see the carousel.

I like this a lot more then the ginger bread house. It has hidden Mickey’s on it, and we found all of them. Up next was the yacht club. Both of these resorts are beautiful just to walk around in. I took many of photos here, but I can’t found where they are saved on my computer to upload them. But I know I took pictures will DH, DS and DD were on a NYE mission.

DH was trying to found me a NYE hat that everyone else has on their head, the whole time we are here looking at the resort. I keep telling him the parks gave them out. I should have brought some from home, but I did not think. After that we go to get a bus. We had a hard time founding the bus stop. So we kept going in and out of the hotel. This hotel was confusing at night, so many people. I took pictures of the lobby, but there is so many people in them you can not see much. Many people looked like they were waiting to get into CMC that night. We were going to head over to AKL and then Poly for the fireworks. I did not think there was time, and I felt sick and dizzy. DH is telling me to cheer up. My head is pounding. I don’t have any aspirins on me. Due to, I was worried about going through security with them. I did not want to be feeling like this on our first day.We found the bus stop! :rolleyes2 We waited 55 minutes for a bus to ANYWHERE! No kidding, the bus stop had so many people in it waiting and some were all ready waiting when we got there. Someone finally want to complain who was staying here, he was very verbal about how much he paid a night and expect much more from a deluxe resort. I must tell you, if I spent the money to stay at this resort and waited like we did that night for a bus I would be extremely angry. Of course I have to agree with him. I know it was NYE, but come on. I think even if I did feel good, I would be mad. I had my head on Dh the whole time. We were lucky ones who had a bench. There had to be 5o people waiting for a bus. :scratchin Well finally a employee I guess of the resort came out and looked at the bus stop. About ten minutes later a bus came... you guess it DHS. :rotfl2: No one got off and everyone that could fit got on. I did not want to get on it that bus feeling like I did at this point.:guilty: After it pulled out a couple of buses came, we got on the first one to Downtown Disney. I sat and put my head against the window. The air on the cold bus felt good. DD was saying she was cold, and I thought it felt great on my eyes and head. I gave her my jacket to wear.Dh asked the bus driver if DTD has fireworks. He informs us not his year since PI is no longer. Since my head was hurting we decide not to go to Poly for the fireworks and head back to the resort. We get off and found the bus stop to POFQ right away. We waited what seemed to be a lifetime for a bus.:crowded: On the bus to the resort I thought I was going to throw up. I made it to the room luckily. I remember going through the lobby and hearing music and people laughing and partying it up. I remember running to the room, through the court yard. I don’t think I will ever want a kitchen sink again. :guilty: I peeled my contacts off my eyes, took a shower and cried, because it was NYE and I was in WDW not feeling to magical. DH unpacked everything. He took a walk and got milk for breakfast. I then climb into bed and cried more.
DD took this picture for me. I never even noticed it. It was on the bed when we arrived.They kept it on the table for me to see in the morning.

The kids and DH were saying it was ok, but I felt so bad for not feeling good. DH had got some ice cubes and put them in a wash cloth for me to put on my head. I laid in bed at POFQ on NYE barely watching the ball drop on TV. I don’t even do that at home on NYE! I don’t even know if Ryan Seacrest look hot that night.:p I know Kellie Pickler was making my head hurt more, so I put a pillow over it. I kept telling DH to take the kids up to the party, and he said ok and let them see a bunch of drunken people. :joker: I was like well they should not be sitting in this room on NYE. We are at WDW. I was so upset.. The tried to see fireworks from the door from somewhere. But it was not so exciting. Everyone else took showers, and I don’t remember falling asleep. Some way to start off the New Year huh? So magical wasn’t it? Not even close to what I planned for NYE in WDW.
My New Year’s resolutions... bring aspirin on board anyway and take contacts out next time.
 
That Kitchen Sink--- OMG I could NOT eat that even if it were sugar free ice-cream...I love it but WOW!! And I'm sorry you had to wait so long for a bus. That is a bit ridiculous, especially when you're spending that much money for a vacation (upwards of $10,000). You'd think they would have extra buses, especially on New Years Eve...geesh!!
 

I'm so sorry to read about you not feeling well on NYE, it's bad enough when your home but in Disney it's so much worse. I hope your family was able to have some fun that night and that you were feeling better new years day. Linda :)
 
Ick, ick ick. Sounds like one of my migraines - sorry you had to do that, there!!
 
Ok, I'm a big idiot!!! Here I've been waiting for you to start you TR. Wondering when's Pam going to start her TR, I wanna see video of the suprise! It's been here and I just didn't realize it! I didn't notice the link in your siggie until a little bit ago!!

I love the video of the suprise!!! They looked completely dumbfounded!!!

I was a bit disappointed by the gingerbread house myself :sad2: that will be coming up in my TR shortly.

I'm sooooo sorry you got so sick!!! Not a good way to start your magical vacation!! I hope you got better quickly!!

Can't wait to read more!
 
I finally found your TR LOL!!
Great start..I'm looking forward to hearing more.

That would have been SO HARD to not spill the beans! I know I couldn't have kept a secret like that:thumbsup2

Love the video...:goodvibes

I absolutely love the picture of the Christmas tree!!! I wish we could go at Christmas but my DW works in the school system (A librarian) and it's hard for us.
I never thought I would have been able to go at that time either.
Someday you will!
Your Kate Gosselin mode! :lmao:
What you dont have one? :rotfl2:

Yes, hope you got back to seeit. Photobucket was playing games with me!

It really was not a lot of ice cream. They give you like a maybe two scoops of each. Lots of whip cream and like four slices of cake.
It states on the menu, feed four.

I'm so sorry to read about you not feeling well on NYE, it's bad enough when your home but in Disney it's so much worse. I hope your family was able to have some fun that night and that you were feeling better new years day. Linda :)
I am still tryign to get over the fact I was in the room on NYE.
My luck! It gets better!

Ick, ick ick. Sounds like one of my migraines - sorry you had to do that, there!!
I thinkit was, and I dont get them. I beleive it was from flying. Which I also never felt anything from flying before. It must be I am getting old!

It was so hard! DH keeps still saying I am so proud you pulled it off, I really know how hard that was for you.
 
SO Sorry to see you got sick :( I know that wasn't how you envisioned the NYE celebration..You had been gearing for that night for months .

WOW you brave souls with the kitchen sink...We still have yet to try it...SOMEDAY!

Loving the report ;)
 
Oh no!! :( Definitely sounds like a migraine to me since you got sick. I'm so glad you finally decided to go back to the resort. I kept saying to myself, "You need to go lie down!" What a trooper to continue on because you didn't want to ruin everyone's fun on NYE. I always carry lots of drugs with me, but I get migraines regularly.

Here's hoping you woke up feeling great! :goodvibes
 
Oh no you poor thing your headache sounds nasty :hug:

I too thought the Gingerbread house would be larger, I think it's because the lobby is so enormous???? BTW I'm staying at GF for 10 days in December :yay:

Wow you certainly packed a lot of resorts in that evening, the BC decorations look really nice!
 
Sounds like migraine to me!! I get them from the change in altitude in flying.
Really? I am not one to get head aches. I hope I dont get like that everytime I fly now.
didn't think this posted---Guess it did...OK repeat post below.

Hi!:cool1: No it sure wasn't what I planned on for the night. Over all we had a good first day.

:snooty: Becaeu I am stubborn and was tryign so hard to make it through the rest of the night. I will carry lots the next time. Security was nothing compared to what I was expecting. We had not flown since 2005.

Oh no you poor thing your headache sounds nasty :hug:

You know I never thought about that.:scratchin It could be just that!
LUCKY GIRL!!!! GF TEN DAYS!:cheer2:
Wow you certainly packed a lot of resorts in that evening, the BC decorations look really nice!
 
I'm sorry you got sick...i've had one migraine and NEVER want another one!!! It was the worst
 
Aweomse pics. That's the best one I've ever seen of the Kitchen Sink. :rotfl2: We're about to go back and we're bringing a newbie. I am taking her there to try one Hope it's not the place.

Yes we had some great weather. It was perfect! I wish Farrah would get her hiney back on here regularly.

I dont get headaches to often, which is strange.

It was fun to get. The kids liked it. If you dont like peanut butter ask for no peanuts. :rotfl2: Maybe they were getting rid of it all before tha recall. Yes, she does I miss her sharing her life with me.
 
Hi Everyone, I just wanted to thank everyone for reading my trip report.:grouphug: I am typing up day 2 slowly at work. It is a long one!
I wanted to wait till I got my photopass CD back to post the next day, but it might take a will. I am not too happy with many of the photos to begin with. We might have had about 10 taken I like.:rotfl2: I refuse to remove sunglasses ever again will in WDW for a picture. :smokin: Every time one of is squinting in a photo when we did.
I am thinking about doing a review here of POFQ and dinning to hold you all over. It depends on how busy I am this week. My niece moved into a new house and we helped her move this weekend. What free time I have will be helping her get organized before the new baby comes. She is due in March.
I am decorating and organizing once AGAIN for her. I really enjoy it though.
So hang in here with me.:hyper:
