A Kid's Eye View Of Disney - January 2009 Trip Report

[saratogadreamin09]

YAY new update

I LOVE everest except for the climb to the top, I hate heights and steep hills so that part gets me.


I havent done any of the shows in AK in a while, the last time we went there we only rode EE, KRR, and Dinosaur.


I also love that pin, I never saw that one on my trip

I love your trip report! I saw that Pooh shirt that says "Tigger, is that you?" the last time I went and I thought it was hilarious. I think I will write my own trip report too, if my mom doesn't (I doubt she will)

That would be an awesome pin!

The shirt comes in white, and orange.

The climb to the top on EE is dreadful for me too. I just keep looking straight forward, and don't move a muscle.

The pin is a new release.

It's time for yet another night at the Magic Kingdom. Boom bop! (I’m not quite sure why I put Boom bop…)

Off we sail! Managed a boat to the MK, for a night of Fireworks, Pirates, and our ADR at the ultra-delicious Plaza! Through the turnstiles, and up my favorite street!

We decided to go in the Tommorowland direction, to see what the mountain of space had to offer. It had a long line, so my dad took the tickets and ran into the line for FP’s. Very short FP line, now time for the most exhilarating attraction ever, The Peoplemover! Fun, fun, fun. After visiting Mr. Tom Morrow, it was time for Buzz. After a good shooting game, it was time for a ride on the right side of Space. Very fun! It was finally time to eat at the much anticipated Plaza restaurant!

We had eaten this our 2nd trip, and loved it, so we wanted to come back again! My mom and I split the Plaza Club, DB got the Angus Chuck Cheeseburger (no surprise there!). and my dad got the Cheese Steak Sandwich. Oh my goodness, these were SO good! Sorry, no pics! But the dessert was even better. The Brownie Sundae. This was over-the-top delicious. And huge, too! We were stuffed. Time for Adventureland! I love the music they play when you walk in. POTC showed a 5 minute wait, but it was a walk-on.

I love the drop. It sounds like you’re going to get soaked, but you end up completely dry. The lines were long for everything, except Jungle Cruise. So of course, we went on that. It was fun at night. We had a funny skipper, and a good laugh. The Carpet line seemed to be shortening up, so we hopped onto that. Haunted Mansion next! A 5-minute wait! When the ghost said, “Or you can come out my way… MUAHAHA” this one teenage guy screamed like a girl. He was kidding of course. It was funny. When we go backwards on this, and on Spaceship Earth, I feel like if I move an inch, we’ll go toppling down. Oh well, we ditched our Doombuggy, and were off to the Castle. Towards the exit, we stopped so we could see Wishes. We had a pretty good spot, everyone could see. I like this show so much better when I know when it’s going to happen. Beautiful show, now we sprint with the rest of the crowd out the gates and to the bus stop. After a semi-long bus wait, we were back home. It wasn’t too late, so we grabbed some mickey bars, and sat outside by the pool. Wiped our faces, walked to the room, changed, and watched some Stacy. I had to get a good night’s sleep to prepare my self for DHS!

Coming Up: A new ride, some cars, and Sci Fi ADRs!

You got a LOT done during your short MK stay!!

 

[noahdove]

You continue to amaze me with your writing...keep it up and you could become a great author, but don't forget where you got your start

 

[karajeboo]

Love the last two reports!!! Now c'mon, my Ally loves Everest! In fact, when we went back in October, just for the day, she drug me on it FIVE times!!!

You're right - Nemo is a GREAT show! Love it! And we just saw Flights of Wonder for the first time this trip - another fun show!

You're writing such a great report. Anxiously waiting for more!

 

[karajeboo]

Oh, and soooooo glad your DB found his pins! My Ally would be a basket case if she lost hers! Do y'all trade them a lot with CMs?

 

[seasideteacher]

Love this TR! The teacher in me is very impressed! And the Disney fan in me just loves your pics and descriptions! You can really hear your voice coming through the writing! Can't wait to hear more!

 

[Camster0307]

Great installment! I really want to try the Plaza someday - it sounds sooo good!

Love the last two reports!!! Now c'mon, my Ally loves Everest! In fact, when we went back in October, just for the day, she drug me on it FIVE times!!!

I'm sorry Kara - I just have to....................what the heck is that word?

 

[karajeboo]

Should it be dragged? Trust me, I NEEDED to be drugged after 5 times in one day!

I always need to be on a ride when I'm at WDW!

Aww, thank you so much. I won't forget you guys.

Thank you so much! I'm so lame! I mean, I love ToT, RnRC, and tons of coasters, but for some reason EE just gets me. 5 times! She's hardcore!

Yes, we love trading with CMs! I get a lot of good pins from them. Including a Russian Pooh Bear!

Love this TR! The teacher in me is very impressed! And the Disney fan in me just loves your pics and descriptions! You can really hear your voice coming through the writing! Can't wait to hear more!

Thank you so much! It's so fun to write this!

I'm sorry Kara - I just have to....................what the heck is that word?

The Plaza is good! But you probably should get an ADR if you ever plan to go, there was a lot of people waiting.

I THINK dragged is gramatically correct. I'm pretty sure.

Should it be dragged? Trust me, I NEEDED to be drugged after 5 times in one day!

 

[lorispeck]

You're doing a great job on your trip report! A lot of adults I know don't write as well as you do!

Do you get tired of people telling you that you look just like your mom?

We have to wait until the end of August for our next trip and reports like yours make it easier!

Keep up the good work!

 

[Kimberly815]

We have never had the chance to eat at The Plaza but I have been reading a lot of good reviews, including yours! I just might need to check it out next time!

Keep it coming!

Today was the day! It was time to face the park of thrill! Disney’s Hollywood Studios, ladies and gentlemen! Let’s do it!

We were up in a flash, into our clothes, and flying out the door! Rushing to the bus station, and arriving at the park where stars are born!

Of course, we ran with the rest of the crowd, over to Toy Story Mania! We decided to hit the standby, and grab FP’s afterwards. This ride is SOO much fun! I could play it all day! The spinning is so smooth, and the guns work perfectly! Fantastic ride. We ran out, to discover of course, an obscenely long FP line. Oh well, we got in it all the same. A kind CM took our cards and got them for us. We decided to check on the line for Star Tours. 40 minutes is a little much for this. No big, let’s head on over to Muppets! We rushed to the holding room, to find it almost empty! Ah, leg room!

We LOVE the Muppets. Love them. This show is so hilarious. A good plot, good 3D, and tons of fun for kids! Woohoo! We had fun, and then skedaddled outta there, to grab some treats from Starring Rolls for “a healthy breakfast.” Not before some pictures with Mater and Lightning McQueen!

Back to Starring Rolls! Cinnamon buns, croissants, and chocolate muffins, babies! After my happy time pigging out on a muffin, it was time for some serious business. It was time to ride the Hotel of Horror- no, it’s not that… the Stop of Scariness- close… ah, the TOWER OF TERROR! Yes, I’ve never ridden this. Yes, I was terrified in the waiting room. And yes, I loved it afterwards! I quite enjoyed it! Of course, I closed my eyes for the entire thing. I also told my mom to tell me when the dropping would start. Hey, at least I rode it and liked it! Next, we decided to visit Prince Caspian in Narnia. We decided to meet the character first, and then see the movie. Hello, Caspian!

(sorry for bad pic, I don't know what's up with the lighting)

Then we watched the movie.

Basically, you could watch the trailer and it’d give you the same stuff. The only special part was the props from the movie. Outta there! Our TSM FP time had rolled around, so it was time for another shooting showdown! Woohoo! After we left, we saw that The Great Movie Ride had a 5 minute wait, so we decided to go for it.

The good thing about this line is that it moves pretty fast. We scored front row seats, and we had totally nice CM, who’s name I’ve forgotten. She was great. The line for Star Tours was only about 10 minutes, so we hit that. Very fun. Lunchtime! We had ADR’s for Sci Fi Drive In Theater!

This is my favorite restaurant. Sure, the food isn’t to die for, but it’s good! The atmosphere is so cool! We got the normal, burgers and fries for everyone. Yum, yum, yum! We couldn’t get any of their delicious milkshakes, because we would miss Block Party Bash. So we paid, and dashed outta there. Time for parade pictures!
If you haven’t seen this parade yet, and don’t want to spoil yourself, skip through all of these. As you can see in picture #11, they invite you out to dance!
Colors, bright colors!

Yay for Parade Pictures!

I wanted to get a ToT pin, so I found one I liked!

Coming Up: Another night at the MK, and some DEELISH cheese fries from Casey’s!

I just love the report! I am a 5th grade teacher and your report is fabulous. You have main ideas with lots of supporting details. Love the use of comic relief as well as your photo essay composite. Your teacher should be proud! Way to go!! Keep it coming!

Grace, you are doing a fantastic job! I am a 2nd grade teacher and I can't believe what an amazing job you are doing! Ladies and gentleman, we have an author in the making! I can't wait to read more! Keep up it up!
