I'd love to go on a vacation with you and your DH so that Weird and I could get PP pictures every time you guys do! Haha, we came home with about 20, and that was it! Good thing we didn't order it. We knew we'd end up taking more pics with our own cameras, so we didn't pre-order. But we got PP pics taken just in case there was any good ones. There was only one that we liked! But of course, the pickings are slim when there are only 20 from which to choose!
Ooo, I don't think I looked up when we were under the hat! I have to tell myself to look up more often. Weird took pics and when I saw them I'd go, "Oh, I didn't notice that!" and he said, "You don't look up often, do you." Haha. I was initially going to title my TR "Looking Up!" before we left because I wanted to remind myself to look up at details, but I actually often forgot to do that!
Yummy to that frozen raspberry lemonade! If we had known it'd be hot and whatnot, we should've gotten that instead! We had to stop and get a Sprite from the vending machine for over $2!!! Might as well have gotten a special frozen drink to enjoy!
The LMA photos are actually super fun to look at now that I've actually seen the show myself! Weird LOVED it, and it surprised me by ending up as my FAVORITE DHS show that day!
YAY for the payback Mickey shot! Haha, you should print those two and frame it with a 3rd of just the 2 of you together.
Thank God you didn't miss your flight!!!
Awww, does it really have to be over???
Haha--you'd probably get SICK of PP Pics if you were with us!
We took way too many. But we wanted to get our money's worth. It was probably good you and Weird didn't get the CD, because you had your family to take your picture for you. We didn't have anyone to take it of just us, so it was either take PP pics, ask strangers to take ours, or hold it out for a face shot.
I think that taking a photography class in college helped me with that. We had to get on chairs or lay on the ground or all kinds of weird stuff so that we could try to find the "perfect shot"... So now I look up and down and all kinds of stuff more often. And I think that being in Disney makes me want to take in EVERY detail! It's a good thing you had Weird to take "up" pics for you!
You need to get one of the frozen raspberry lemonades next time! It was one of my favorite drinks/snacks of our entire trip.
Don't you hate how vending machines are so over-priced?!
Oh yay! I'm so glad yall ended up liking LMA! It was Michael's favorite show at DHS too. He's not a big car person, so it kinda surprised me, but I ended up loving it too!! We'll definitely make a point to see it every time from now on. And I told my parents they have to see it next month when they go. It was YOUR favorite?? That's SOO neat! I'm glad you both loved it!
Good idea! We definitely need to get both of those shots framed. Hilarious.
I know--I don't want it to be over at all! Thanks so much for reading, though!
I am sooo sad to see your trip report end, but I loved reading it!!! I def want to stay at AKL now!!
Thanks so much for reading!! I'm sad that it's ending too. You HAVE TO try to stay at AKL sometime!!! It is just incredible. We can't say enough good about it.
I totally agree with you about the RNRC theming-- I think its pre-show is Disney's best! Love how you're clutching hubby's arm on TOT, too
This was a wonderful TR-- loved reading and am so sad it's almost done!
The pre-show seems so real. They do a great job! And I'm pretty sure Disney is the only place in the world where the theming is as good as the ride. haha--I didn't even realize I was clutching his arm!
I'm a clutcher though. I almost took my aunt's arm off in Dinosaur when I was 15. And my college roomie and I used to watch scary movies and when we'd finish, our arms would be red from clutching each others' arms so much! Thank you SOO much for reading! I'm sad it's almost over too.
Aww bummer that your TR is coming to an end. I have definitely enjoyed getting to know you guys through the report. I think I am leaning more towards writing a TR, but I don't think it will be anywhere near as extensive as yours. I know we definitely didn't take as many pics. Most of our trip was spent waiting in lines for characters!
It is funny how you think of so many other people on the boards while you are there. I definitely thought of you guys when we were at AKL and Boma and during the PP photoshoot!
Again, you have some great photos in that update. I'll let you know if I write a TR so you can add it to your list of dis reading. I have a lot to catch up on myself!
Thank you so much for reading along, Ann! It's been so much fun sharing our vacation with all of you. You should definitely write a TR!! I'm sure it'll be great. And it's so much fun to relive your vacation after it's over. I'm just a nut for pictures. My family/friends have given me such a hard time about it my whole life. Haha--that's what we did when my sister was little. I'm glad we didn't have to wait for any characters this year!
I'm glad you thought about us at AKL!! We love that place so much. Thank you! Yes, please let me know! I'm going to be playing catch-up all summer.
Great update! I love all the "magic" shots you got, and your drawing of Minnie turned out fantastic!
Thanks, Denise! Thank you--they were so much fun to take because we didn't know how they'd turn out until we got home. Thanks--it was SO much fun learning to draw her! Michael actually took our drawings and some pictures and had them matted and stuff for Christmas. I'll have to put a pic of it up here.
I'm excited to go back through everything and come up with our favorites. I've already told Michael that I want him to help me with it.

You and Michael are so cute!!
Thanks so much. It was really a great last day. We did everything we wanted to do--all of our favorites and the things we hadn't done yet. I need to put the picture up of Michael's Christmas gift for me--did I tell you about him matting the Minnie pics? There were some pics where we just looked like we were in pain because of the sun. 
I promise that I was thinking about all of you often, but I literally did not have the time to even get on and update.
