[jenseib]

I would love to stay in a monorail resort someday. Your breakfast looks great too.

 

[Mrs T 2009]

Okay I'm back and catching up...

I love epcot and WS!!! So beautiful!!!

Boo to your room being a "disaster" BUT glad you got a new NICE room fairly quickly!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVED New Fantasyland!!! So pretty and perfect!!! Rylan wasn't a fan of the marshmallow topping on LeFou's brew, but liked the drink itself- my mom treated us to a souvenir mug and goblet full and a HUGE cinnamon roll we all shared- delicious!!!!

Boo to migraines I really feel bad when you get them!

DHS is wonderful!!! I can't believe ToT was at a 90min wait!!!!!!!!

I miss epcot and dhs! It felt weird only going to MK this visit
BUT my hubs is thinking we may go back THIS Oct. We booked a bounce back offer ans I hope I will be off then....otherwise we will have to change the dates.

 

[smile4stamps]

Beautiful view to wake up to!

sucks on the not sleeping well and waking up stuffy! That happened to me on my last DL trip. We think it was the AC in the room as we all woke up that way and then shortly after starting the day we were all feeling fine.

The breakfast looks yummy! I've also had GFC on my radar but not sure which meal I want to try lol.

Yeah on the Singing in the rain working!

And yes, your Dopey is amazing!!

 

[teekathepony]

Beautiful sunrise from BLT!
Your breakfast looks really yummy. Coffee + milkshake + Disney morning = can't get much better than that!
RnR is my favourite rollercoaster ever I also love the marble doors but hate the noise it makes!

 

[407-W-DISNEY]

Thanks for the update!
I love the GF cafe! haven't been for breakfast only dinner, but I think I have to change that next visit! I don't even like French Toast, but it looked really good!!

BOO, for waiting for the bus!

I've got the Disney blues bad today....

 

[MotherandDaughter]

I love the drawing class. My pictures aren't always the best..

I love the Singing In The Rain umbrella. I want to see it the next time I go!

 

[marDgreen88]

Monorail resorts are the greatest thing to ever happen in life. I will so so so so soooo miss BLT on my next trip!!!

Those frozen cappuccinos look AMAZING!!!

All these pictures are so pretty! I like the hat, just not where it's located. Um, WHAT? Muppets... LAME?!?!?! That is so sad.

 

[Nermel9]

I can never get over the awesome views of the monorail from the Contemporary/BLT. If only I could wake up to that every morning - especially with those sunrises!

Glad you had such a great dinner at Be Our Guest! I really hope we're able to get dinner ADRs for our next trip!

Your breakfast from Grand Floridian looks amazing. My mouth is watering right now. Mmmm..

Wow, seriously impressed by your Dopey! One of the best drawings I've seen out of Animation Academy.

I KNOW! I loved seeing the monorail out the window, every day! And the sunrises there were to perfect!

I hope you get an ADR for Be Our Guest, I love it there! I'm already nervous about getting an ADR for December, and it's still so far away!

It was amazing, I really loved that breakfast, now I have to force Brandon to eat there!

Wow, thanks! I'm horrible at drawing, and I thought that Dopey was awful! I think it looks better in that picture than it does in real life, because I was not impressed with it! The instructor really did go too fast, I felt like I was so lost during so many parts of it! But thanks again!

I would love to stay in a monorail resort someday. Your breakfast looks great too.

That's probably the only time I'll be in a monorail resort anytime soon! Unless I rent points at the GF when the DVC section opens up! Our breakfast was fantastic, I really liked it there!

Yay!

Our room was really nice, and I'm glad we go to switch!

Isn't New Fantasyland amazing???? So glad you finally got to see it! Wasn't Le Fou's brew good? I didn't like the topping either, but the drink was yummy! I didn't get to try a cinnamon roll, but it sounds great!

Thanks! Me too!

I know, the wait times for ToT were crazy that whole trip!

Yay for a bounceback trip!!! I booked mine, but I'm still not 100% sure we're going, I may have to downgrade our resort, or cut a few days off the trip, BUT I HAVE to get back to Disney World this year!

Beautiful view to wake up to!

sucks on the not sleeping well and waking up stuffy! That happened to me on my last DL trip. We think it was the AC in the room as we all woke up that way and then shortly after starting the day we were all feeling fine.

The breakfast looks yummy! I've also had GFC on my radar but not sure which meal I want to try lol.

Yeah on the Singing in the rain working!

And yes, your Dopey is amazing!!

Yeah, I think the AC has a lot to do with how I sleep in Disney, I just do not like AC air! Even at home, I prefer to sleep with the windows open, unless its a million degrees out!

It was yummy you should try GFC, I've wanted to for a while, so I'm glad I finally did!

Haha, wow, thank you! I don't think that Dopey is that good, but that's so nice! I'm horrible at drawing, even with instructions!

 

[wdwgirl03]

That sunrise is awesome! Man, I already miss BLT. It sure was fun staying on the monorail loop again.

Yay for Hollywood Studios! Ever since my sister worked there I have a new appreciation for it. Love the Dopey drawing! It's kind of fun when they do the non-traditional characters.

RnR is my favourite rollercoaster ever I also love the marble doors but hate the noise it makes!

Wasn't it? I loved the sunrises there, so pretty!

It was such a great breakfast, everything was so good!

Haha, those marble doors are SO annoying! But they're so pretty!

Thanks for the update!

BOO, for waiting for the bus!

I've got the Disney blues bad today....

I loved GFC for breakfast! I'd like to try dinner there someday, but I read horrible reviews for it!

Haha, that was one of the only times we really had a long wait for the bus, but at least we made it to DHS fairy early!

Ugh, me too.

I love the drawing class. My pictures aren't always the best..

I love the Singing In The Rain umbrella. I want to see it the next time I go!

The drawing class is so much fun! Haha, my pictures aren't that great either, but it's just so much fun!

I love that umbrella too, when I first found it I was so happy!

Monorail resorts are the greatest thing to ever happen in life. I will so so so so soooo miss BLT on my next trip!!!

Those frozen cappuccinos look AMAZING!!!

All these pictures are so pretty! I like the hat, just not where it's located. Um, WHAT? Muppets... LAME?!?!?! That is so sad.

Yeah, pretty much! I'm going to miss being in a monorail resort on my next trip too, I wish I was wealthy so I could stay in one on every trip!

They were amazing! I can't wait to go back there!

Thanks! Yeah, I suppose the hat could move somewhere else, but I do like it! Haha, Caitlin just loves her fast, thrill rides, so I guess to her, sitting in a theater watching the Muppets was lame! She liked it though, I know she did!

Isn't it! I kind of miss BLT too, although I didn't love it there! I loved being in Disney and that close to MK! And the monorail!

DHS is so much fun, it's so pretty! I could just wander around there and look at things and not be bored! Thanks! I feel like other than Pluto, I've always gotten an out of the ordinary character when I've gone to the drawing class, which is nice, but I want to draw Minnie someday!

Are you starting a TR soon?

I loved it there, though maybe it had something to do with our view of Cinderella Castle and Space Mountain! It was amazing!

As for a trip report, hopefully I will start it soon!

Haha, yeah, that might have something to do with it! I feel like I would have liked it much more if I looked out the window and saw the Magic Kingdom!

Yay, hope so!

 

[khertz]

Those sunrise photos are GOOOOORGEOUS! What a beautiful way to wake up in WDW.

I can't lie, I love the hat too! There is a rumor they are taking it down, and I think I will be a little sad about that if it happens.

BEAN BUNNY!!! My favorite Muppet. Kids these days, just don't know what's good anymore! I weep for these generations that did not grow up with the awesomeness of the Muppets.

We love P&F in this house too, although DS absolutely CANNOT say Phineas so they are both called Ferb. How sweet of you to take a picture of Diane & Caitlin with them. What a cute picture! Caitlin looks like she is diggin' Ferb a little.

 

[MHTeacher]

OK--I was several updates behind, so I had to quote everything to be able to remember what I wanted to comment on!

Thursday, February 21


Next is one of my FAVORITE pictures EVER, I love it so much! I took it on the walkway between BLT and the CR, and I took it with my phone, not even my real camera (of course, Instagram helped enhance it a bit!)

Mostly I was confused by Test Track! It doesn't seem to have a theme anymore! I mean, it looks cool, it's all neon lights, and the actual ride is the same, but it just doesn't make sense anymore! I still like it, because I love the actual ride, especially going outside, but the story is kind of stupid now! They should have just modernized it a little, instead of changing it completely!
​

Your picture is beautiful!

I hate to hear that you were slightly disappointed with the new Test Track. I am looking forward to getting the new experience in a couple of months.

February 21, Part 2

​

I am determined to have a piece of this on my June trip!

Thursday, 2/21 Part 4
On our way out, we decided to meet the Beast, who is HUGE! I hate the picture we took, but I'll put it up anyway, because how often do you get to meet the Beast!

I'm so glad I bought him, because he really did make me feel better that night, since I was so upset about having another horrible headache!

I curled up with Pluto and went to sleep, listening to Stacey in the background, hoping tomorrow would be headache-free!

​

YAY for a Jen picture! It's a great one!

We have the same Pluto pillow pet at our house!

Friday, 2/22

He just went WAY too fast, so I felt bad for the kids trying to keep up. And we had a difficult character too...Dopey!

Anyway, on the way over to Muppet Vision, Caitlin started to get really annoyed with Diane for some reason, and let her know that she did NOT want to do the Muppets. It was strange for me to see Caitlin act this way, she is usually so perfect around me, and it made me sad to see them not getting along in Disney. Caitlin kept saying the Muppets were lame and Diane and I pretty much forced her to watch the show. I think she ended up liking it, but I don't think she would ever admit it.


​

We've drawn Dopey once before--He was actually one of my better drawings. I thought yours looked good!

Ah, yes---mother daughter drama---Caitlin is how old?

 

[ronnmel]

What a beautiful sunrise!!! I didn't think you could beat your picture from the day before, but Wow!

Your Dopey drawing is excellent! He looks fun to draw!

I love the hat too, and you took a great picture of it with the blue sky.

I love french toast, though it bugs me when they put cinnamon in it. Vanilla, however, I would be all over that!

Haha, well you can unfold it to be like a normal pillow, but I keep mine folded and I just cuddle with it!

Thanks. I already have a Stitch plushie to cuddle with, so I don't feel too bad for missing out on the pillow pet craze.

 

[Dugette]

Love that sunrise! How great would it be to wake up to that every morning, then hop on the monorail to your choice of breakfast locations?

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Oooh the frozen cappuccino! DF's favorite!!

Glad you enjoyed your breakfast at GFC! Looks like a gorgeous morning!

The P&F M&G area is too cute!

Thank you! I really loved the views of Bay Lake from BLT, so pretty!

I love the hat too, I don't want them to take it down, but I also miss when the Chinese Theater was the focal point as you walked in, so it's tough! Maybe they could just move it somewhere?

I love Bean Bunny! Did you ever see "Tale of the Bunny Picnic?" That's why my sister and I love him so much!

Aww, that's so cute that DS calls them both Ferb! I really like that picture of the 2 of them with P&F, it's much better than the one I took with them at the Christmas party! (Which you will eventually see in my November TR, whenever I get there! )

Thank you!

It's not that I didn't like the new Test Track, it's still a lot of fun, the ride is still the same, and it looks cool as you're going through it! But the story just doesn't make much sense anymore, that's all! I'm sure you will still like it!

You have to have the strawberry shortcake! It's so good!

Haha, well, thanks! I'm not a big fan, but thank you anyway!

I love my Pluto pillow pet, I'm so glad I bought him!

Thanks! I'm glad I got to draw Dopey, I just thought it was hard, and I didn't like our instructor, I found him kind of hard to follow!

Caitlin is 8! She is a really good girl, but she just did not want to do anything she wasn't in the mood to do at that time!

What a beautiful sunrise!!! I didn't think you could beat your picture from the day before, but Wow!

Your Dopey drawing is excellent! He looks fun to draw!

I love the hat too, and you took a great picture of it with the blue sky.

I love french toast, though it bugs me when they put cinnamon in it. Vanilla, however, I would be all over that!

Thanks. I already have a Stitch plushie to cuddle with, so I don't feel too bad for missing out on the pillow pet craze.

Thanks! I know, every morning it was so beautiful, I couldn't take it!

Thank you! He was fun to draw, I just wish we had a more patient instructor! He was very fast and hard to follow!

Yeah, you know, Brandon is a very good cook, and sometimes he makes me French Toast, and it's good, but he likes to put tons of spices on it and I just want to be like "um, can you just leave it alone!" but I don't want to insult him! He likes to think he's a chef! I'm not saying it's not good, because it is, I would just prefer more of a plain French Toast!

Haha, well, if you really want a Disney pillow pet, you can get them online at the Disney Store now! I'm tempted to buy another one!

Love that sunrise! How great would it be to wake up to that every morning, then hop on the monorail to your choice of breakfast locations?

Thank you! OMG I know right? I loved taking the monorail everywhere, so much fun! If I could eat at the GFC every morning, I totally would! Well maybe every other morning, because I'd need to go to Boma a lot too!

Oooh the frozen cappuccino! DF's favorite!!

Glad you enjoyed your breakfast at GFC! Looks like a gorgeous morning!

The P&F M&G area is too cute!

Your TR's are what made me want to try GFC for breakfast, and that frozen cappuccino! I loved it, I can't wait to go there again!

It is a cute area, I just wish Perry was there too!

Friday, 2/22 Part 2

Hi guys! Sorry it's taken me so long to update again, my life is just so annoying lately, I can't take it! So I need to get back into DIS'ing regularly, my poor November TR is in desperate need of an update too, and I promise to get caught up on everyone's TR's within the next few days! Also, with the depressing news about the Boston Marathon bombings today, I just really need a distraction! You can't seem to do anything in this world anymore, which is why I need some Disney in my life, even if it is just TR's!

(Oh and I apologize for the lack of chapter links lately, I will try to update them tomorrow!)

Anyway, when we left off, Caitlin, Diane and I were walking to Toy Story Mania to use our FP's!



Yay!!! We got in line and went right through the queue area and soon found ourselves here:



I love the inside of TSM so much, it's so adorable, it really does look like it could be the room of a child!

Caitlin decided to ride with me, which left Diane alone on the other side of us. We had so much fun shooting at everything, and at the end, I ended up beating Caitlin, but check out her accuracy compared to mine:



SO much better! My accuracy is terrible! And am I EVER going to break 200,000??

We went outside and I took a few pictures of Pixar Place, which I love:





It was speaking! I didn't know it did that!

Diane then decided it was a good time to head over to the Princess Half Expo. She had to take a bus over to Coronado Springs to pick up everything for her race, and she wanted to buy a skirt and a few other things, which left Caitlin and I alone in the park!

One of Caitlin's only requests for the whole trip as far as eating was concerned was to go to Pizza Planet! I didn't mind, since there's no way I'll ever get Brandon to go there, so we headed over in that direction, since we were already pretty hungry! Caitlin was convinced I didn't know where I was going, since I told her it was right around the corner, and it actually wasn't, but I'm not sure this girl understands how well I know my Disney! She really thought we were lost or something since it took a few minutes to walk there!

But we did in fact get to Pizza Planet, and we got in line to order our food.



Sorry for the awful picture, I just wanted to get one of the name of the place and it was hard with so many people around! The lines weren't too long, they were just kind of confusing, and the people ahead of us had no idea what to order or how to use the dining plan or anything! Ugh! Finally we got to order, we got our food and grabbed the first table we saw!



Caitlin got the kids meal with cheese pizza, milk, and a cookie, and I guess I got the adult meal, because there's no way I would have ordered a salad on my own! Caitlin loved her pizza, she scarfed it down, and was still hungry, so I gave her a piece of mine, those kids pizzas are really small! I really liked my pizza too, I have to admit, I like Disney pizza! I know a lot of people complain about it, and coming from CT where we think we invented pizza I know I 'm committing a crime but...what can I say, Disney pizza is good! Brandon would hate it though, so I know if I ever go there again, it will be alone!

We finished eating and she wanted to play some games so we got a bunch of quarters and I let her play whatever she wanted. She liked the driving games so she played those for a while! It's annoying because a lot of those games are $1 or more, don't they have games for 25 cents anymore?

We finished up with the arcade, and Caitlin wanted to check the wait time for RnRC one last time, so I checked the app on my phone, and it was way too long. There wasn't anything else she wanted to do, so we started to leave...and then I remembered, I had to get a cupcake from Starring Roles! So we made our way over there, and then Caitlin asked me if she could get ice cream. Why not, we're on vacation, so I got her a Mickey ice cream sandwich!

We went to Starring Roles and I got my lovely chocolate peanut butter cupcake to go, I was hoping it wouldn't melt or get ruined before we got back to our room!



We went to the bus stop and waited for our bus back to Bay Lake Tower. When we got back to our room, we expected Diane to be there already, but she wasn't, so we just hung out in the room and waited for her. We watched Stacey over and over, which for some reason, totally amused Caitlin, I figured she would bother me to watch real tv, but she just kept Stacey on the whole time!

Diane finally came back and told us about the Expo, which I guess was really annoying because the CSR convention center was too small for it and the lines were really long (they usually have the Expo's at the Wide World of Sports) so she didn't get to come back and take a nap or anything. By that time we had to get ready because we had a dinner ADR we had to get to!

We all got ready and then walked over to the CR to hop on the monorail! On the monorail, I noticed my beloved Wilderness Lodge through the trees, so I tried to get a picture, but this was the best I could do:



Not so great, but I love seeing that green roof peaking through the trees!

Our stop was the Poly because we were eating at 'Ohana that night! One of my favorites, I was so excited to eat here again! We got there kind of early, so we looked around the shops for a while.



I found this monorail pen that I REALLY wanted to get, but it was $10 so I didn't...



and now I regret it. Hey if anyone is going to Disney anytime soon and wants to pick up that pen for me, I will totally send you $10 and shipping costs!

We were finally seated in 'Ohana and our food started coming out immediately! Caitlin didn't want any of it, so she got chicken nuggets and was perfectly happy with those and some vanilla ice cream at the end. Diane and I, however, stuffed ourselves with all of the wondefulness that comes with 'Ohana-the noodles, the wings, the meats-everything was amazing! But my favorite part, and the only part I bothered taking pictures of, was the bread pudding!





OMG I don't think there is any dessert in the world that is better than 'Ohana bread pudding, it's perfect! I guess when Diane eats at 'Ohana with her family, she gets the bread pudding all to herself, because Caitlin and her DH just don't like it! Meanwhile, when I go with Brandon, we practically fight each other for it!

We finished eating and decided we should go to the Magic Kingdom for a little while! Instead of taking the monorail, we wanted to take the boat so we walked through the back of the Poly to get to the boat dock. The Poly is one of my DREAM resorts, I just love it so much, so I had to take a million pictures, here are just a few:







We had great timing to walk on to the dock, because the sun was setting, which made the Poly look even more amazing than it usually does! I swear, if you didn't know better, you'd think you were actually looking at a resort in Hawaii!









I mean, seriously. I HAVE TO STAY THERE SOMEDAY!!! Ugh, Poly, why you so expensive???

Finally the boat came and whisked us away for a fun night in the Magic Kingdom!

Up next...fun in the Magic Kingdom!
