10 days in Disney w/ pics

[timandlesley]

Michelle,

There are times guides in every park, when you enter grab one and it lets you know what times the Power Rangers are and other specific characters. If you have a specific character you want to see PM me or email me: timandlesley@cinci.rr.com and I will let you know where you can find them. The Power Rangers have several appearances a day (when we were there they were out at 10:45, 11:45, 12:45 and 1:45) they appear towards the back of the park in front of the Stunt Car Motor Show (on the map you can locate this one). It is clearly marked once you get back there. If there is a specific ranger you want to see listen to the CM when they come out right before the Power Rangers do because the lines start to form before they come out and they are only out for about 20 minutes so we had time to see 2 of them (green and pink) and we were one of the first to see green and then barely got to see pink before they had to leave.
Again, if you have specific questions feel free to email me, I'd love to help (as you can tell I'm a little obsessed )

Your trip report was totally amazing. I started reading it a couple of days ago and wasn't able to see many of the pictures until today. Thanks so much for upgrading at photobucket so we could enjoy your pics.

You really gave me a new found appreciation for MGM. I can't wait to go and find so many of those characters. DS5 absolutely loved the Monsters Inc. pic.

I'm also looking forward to watching Spectromagic from Frontierland and eating at Mama Melroses.

Thanks again for the wonderful TR. I tried to write one last year and it was so hard I gave up and just wrote a small report. I hope to read your report next year.

Thanks Lesley - great report. We'll be there in three weeks. We were last at WDW in 2001 and this will be our first stay at WL. MY DH has been wanting to stay at WL since we checked it out during a visit in 1995 right after it opened.

You won't be disappointed, it is such a great resort- especially with the renovations. WE ARE HOOKED!!! Have a wonderful trip, must say I'm a little jealous!

Loved your trip report and all your pictures. We have stayed at WL twice before and we love it however we are trying Poly this trip, hope I like it there. We also have a 2 year old DS and our DD is 6 so I got alot of good ideas from your TR. We are driving fron Knoxville TN so we hope to drive straight through 9-10 hours LOL. You made it to Chattanooga so we would have 90 minutes more from there, hopefully DS doesn't have a meltdown but it is very likely.

 

[timandlesley]

Have a wonderful trip and enjoy the Poly! I want to try it someday too but WL just feels like home to me!

Good luck with the driving and have a GREAT trip!

Lesley,

I have just read your TR straight through, no mean feat BTW, and LOVED every bit!!!! As a fellow I completly understand the June/July travel thing. Sometimes I get envious of those who travel in Sept or Nov.

You have given me some great ideas for our next trip. Your family is adorable and thanks for the great read on a Sunday am!

Glad you enjoyed it and it provided you with some reading material on this Sunday (it would be long to read straight through). Happy planning for your next June/July trip. Hey, at least when we retire we can travel in other times of the year!!!

Lesley, sorry I didn't get to reply again sooner, but I am so glad you had such an amazing trip! As a fellow , I understand only being able to go at certain times of the year. Luckily, we have around 3 1/2 weeks at Christmastime, so we have added that time to go as well.

I hope you are able to start planning again soon. DF (he will be DH by this time) and I will also be at WDW next summer the same time you are planning to go.... Hope to see you there!

Thanks for the great TR!!

Soooo sad to see your trip end! We returned from the WL in March, and I am still sad! My kids and I (also 30, 4, 2!) are trying to figure out a way to convince Daddy we need another trip!

I had written a very boring quick trip report, but you have made me rethink, I just may write a better version and store it away for posterity!

Thanks for making me smile. I love Disney! It IS the Happiest Place on earth, hands down.

Lesley, I just found your TR and am loving it! Thanks for all the great pics, too; it makes a huge difference in feeling 'there' with you You , DH and your kids are adorable. I loved seeing the updates to WL.

Thank you for sharing!

What a great report! It's 12:45 am and I should have been off these boards a while ago. I got teary-eyed when your parents came, what a nice surprise!
We leave a week from today! I have a 23 month old girl and an eight year old boy.(I'm a teacher too, so the summer is the only time we can go too! ) Can't wait for them to experience it together! Thanks for sharing!

Leslie,

I have so enjoyed your trip report. Your writting made me feel as if I was right there with you. Thank you for the mini-vacation. Your children are precious, loved all the stories of their reactions. I am going to miss you, I feel like I have gotten to know you and your family as friends. That is the sign of a good writer. Thank you for sharing your family and vacation.

Lesley-I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed your TR! It was awesome, and we all really apprecitate you taking the time to write it!
And I also wanted to tell you that Lauren really reminds me a lot of Ruthie on 7th Heaven...she is a doll...Both of them are. You have a beautiful family!

 

[timandlesley]

Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it. Now that you mention it I can see the resemblance of Lauren with Ruthie. . . funny!

Thanks again.
