A Belated PTR: Mom & Daughter Take On WDW, again UPDATE 9.22: LIVE FROM WDW!!!!!!!!!!

not a huge j&k+8 fan..just never got into it. I remember watching when they were first born though, so cute! amazing race on the other hand...omg my favorite show EVER! :)

boooo.... lol, jk. It's all good, especially since you said you love The Amazing Race!!! I love that show, they used to show the re-runs on G4 but they don't anymore, oh well.

I'm going to be on that show one day, and I'd be good at it too... I think. We could be on it... they could label us the "WDW Fanatics" :rotfl:
 
Anyone Ask for This PTR's Cast Pictures?

First, I keep putting off my itinerary since I am having difficulty deciding on a couple of things. Maybe you all can help me out. Basically, I'm needing to be convinced on whether I should do a water park on my first day or not... and which one?

Second, I totally forgot I had a couple of pictures on my flickr of myself and my mom so I'm going to post them now. I'm going to get some more here soon :)

Well, there you have it folks that's a mug shot right there. Luckily, I've never had to pose for a REAL mug shot :thumbsup2
Some more stuff about me:
-I'm on Team Edward! I'm not obsessed and I haven't even read the books but holy moly- you have to admit, Robert Pattinson is a major hottie!
-I play tennis all the time! I have a membership to a local raquet club that oddly enough has WiFi, sometimes I post from there since my laptop goes everywhere with me. I wish I knew someone to play some tennis with at WDW.
-Favorite color: Purple
-Favorite song of all-time: "Paint it Black" The Rolling Stones
-Favorite movie: Jurassic Park

That's my mommy at DHS under the rainy umbrella. Does that thing have an official name?
Random about her:
-She gets REALLY grumpy in the heat :headache:
-Not a sporty girl this one... I must get it from my dad.
-Favorite show: Dexter
-Favorite Disney character: Mickey, the Mortimer version

I thought I'd also add some other pictures.

This one is a 9" blank Vinylmation that I plan on using as an autograph book.

Some close ups:

We got dreamed big time. The lanyards came in the mail through some postcard thing my mom did, the hat and MGM Dream FP was given out during our 2007 trip and the MK Dream FP during our 2008 trip.

This is how I display my FPs... I also got the park icon salt and pepper shakers on the bottom row and a sake cup with my name in Japanese written on it to the bottom right of the picture.

Thanks :)

Gotta admit, it's a stolen idea. I took it from a fellow DISser... oh well.
 
Water park.... no water park... water park... no water park... hm.......

which water park, emphasis on who has the best lazt river?
 
tough one! I honestly haven't been to any water park since I was a kid :( So I'm no help with the decision!
 
I took am a "plus 8" fan...I DVR'd it Monday so I haven't seen the latest....
Can't really help you out with the waterpark situation as I haven't been to any of the Disney water parks....I am usually pretty happy just hanging out at the pool if I am in need of some water :rotfl:
Great collection...really like your fastpass displays! Looks great! :thumbsup2

Pshhh... no help. :rotfl:;) I'm leaning on going because the day I would want to go, we're at Pop and that's just not fun. If I was at WL or AKL then... I'd just use those pools.

I really just want to sit on the lazy river all day.

Oh man... it's tough because it's so sad. I was just watching the ones where they all have their special days and those were the happy times! Not so much anymore... at least the kids still seem happy.

That's usually me too, going for 2 weeks we obviously have to do laundry and by "we" I mean me so I just sit by the pool while I wait but.... I do love a lazy river.

Thank you, about the FP displays!
 
So what day are you thinking about hitting a water park?

I think you should try it... If I am going to try it I am bringing everyone down with me!!! :laughing:

Either the 18th or the 25th. I don't know if I'm going to be getting an AP... strangely enough it all depends on what the bounceback offer is for free dining. If it's like the Sept-Dec offer then we won't be going in Sept or Oct 2010 but December instead... so if we go in December, we'll buy APs when we go in January.

ANYWAY....... it'll be the 18th if we do end up getting the AP this trip and the 25th if we don't because I'm going to want to fill in that time after CM's and before MNSSHP. If we had an AP, we'd probably go to Epcot.

I'm thinking about all of this too much my head is going to explode.
 
Finally, a More Finalized Itinerary


OK........... after much discussion, it's very possible we will not be going to WDW in September 2010, rather either October or December 2010 (most likely). Lol, my mom even mentioned going to DL in September though :confused3 Well, she isn't going with me in April so...

And with the WL free dining package, I did had to purchase one-day tickets for both of us that we won't be using Sept 2009 so we can use them for credit in January.

We will be sticking to the original 10-day park hopper that we originally purchased.

Let me give an overview with the plans:

Sept 17:
Departure, we'll probably leave for the airport around 2:30PM and it should take a little less than an hour to get there but as some of you Oregonians know rush hour here can be ridiculous so it could easily take longer than an hour. Flight at 5PM, arrive LAX 7:14PM. Leave for MCO at 10:15PM.

Sept 18:
Arrive 6:09AM
Nap
I'm going to Blizzard Beach on this day most likely from 10-2... give or take.
Back to the Pop, hopefully our room will be ready so I can shower and change but if not I'm guessing BB will have the facilities.
DTD
Raglan Road 5:15PM
Early turn in because of AM EMH in the morning and we need to get adjusted to the time change.

Sept 19:
Split breakfast?
Hollywood Studios AM EMH
Ride the big name rides at the least... and Muppets (one of my mom's favorite shows).
Starring Rolls later lunch or if we head over to Epcot before we eat, probably Tangierine Cafe
Hop on over to Epcot
Kouzzina 7:35PM
Mom goes back to hotel, Dayna goes to possible DIS meet at CSR

Sept 20:

The Mara for early dinner and EEC fuel

EEC after party in AK 8:30PM-midnight

Sept 27:

Turn in early most likely... if not then DTD or MK PM EMH

Sept 28:

Probably Backlot Express for lunch or Starring Rolls if we didn't eat there on Sept 19
HDDR 7:15PM

Sept 29:
Crystal Palace 8:05AM
Magic Kingdom all day... probably
'Ohana 8:05PM

Sept 30:
Usually the last few days are open park days but I'm guessing this will be Epcot
Flying Fish Cafe 6:10PM

October 1:
Open park, I'm guessing Epcot and MK
Narcoossee's 7:55PM

October 2:
Open park, I'm guessing either HS or MK
Hopefully we are granted later check-out
ME 2-2:30PM
Flight leaves 5:15PM :sad2:

So in total, that's 11 park days plus 2 water parks and 2 special event days in parks.

Wait, 11?

With the EEC, I get one-day admission valid at Epcot, HS and AK for free that my mom is going to be using. Also, with the EEC you get a special rate on theme park tickets and which I getting a one-day non PH water parks & more ticket... for only $62... that's one-day major park AND 2 entires to a WP or DQ... for only $62 :banana:

Finally, it's all worked out and I'm feeling really good about this :)

Next: I'm a freaking idiot!
 
Woo Hoo!! :woohoo::woohoo:

We are getting close!!

As soon as my Mickey Mail gets here, you will probably hear my screams from your house!! :rotfl2:
 
I finally did it!!!

JULIEEEEE!

:woohoo: I'm so excited you finally decided to join the DIS! I only noticed because you left your s/n up on my computer :)

Everyone, Julie is one of my best friends who up until last month was my roommate. Now she just comes over to mi casa all the time, lol. I'm so excited because she's taking her boyfriend for the first time in October! They're planning on going to MNSSHP, F&WF and they're both running in the ToT 10K, WOO HOO! :banana:

I'm trying to convince her to write a PTR since she, and others, convinced me to write mine but I don't think it's going to happen....
