A Live Report Begins.....

Ok you have to meet Lotso. He smells like strawberries!!!!! Seriously!!! Sooooo cool!

So I scored fastpasses for TOT and RnR for this afternoon and DH and the kids are drawing in the animation studio. After this we are going to work our way to the Sci Fi and maybe do some pictures on the speeder bike before lunch.

More to come!
 
So glad you are enjoying your trip, I am living vicariously through you and the other "live reporters", we will be there in just three weeks!!!

I am curious if you were there at rope drop today, and if you were (or weren't) how you managed with TSM. Did you get a FP first then ride? Or vice versa? How long were the FP lines and what time was your FP for?

Loving your details, keep them coming!:)
 
I'm very much enjoying your reports keep them coming. You are getting me excited for our arrival on Monday for our 12 days stay.
 
Just popping in to say that I have some awesome Disney magic - and DH amazingness - to share! Ita going to take a while to post so I will try to update this evening. If I can't this evening, I'll update first thing tomorrow morning!
 

Love your live report...I feel like I'm right there with you!

Hope you and your family continue to have an amazing time. Can't wait to hear about the magic! pixiedust:
 
Hi! Sorry for the delay in updates....

So I think I left off at the Studios yesterday. We had a great time and did a lot! ToT, RnR, my DD got to do Jedi training and we all rode Star Tours.

We had a wonderful dinner at Narcoosees last night! The food and service was outstanding and we had a prime view of the lagoon and MK. I had ordered an anniversary cake for my Dh and it did not disappoint. It was a 6 inch almond cake with bavarian cream and fresh strawberries ~ soooooo good!

Then when I got back to the room, I was surprised by my DH who had planned the romance package through Disney Florist. I walked in to rose petals leading the way to the bed that had a heart made out of more rose petals, chocolates, candles and personalized towels plus spa products! I was floored!!!

I'll post tons of pics when I get home next week!

This trip has been sooooo amazing so far!!!

Today we had breakfast at 'ohana and we are going to the pool now, then we are going back to HS for the parade and Fantasmic!

More later!

How romantic - rose petals! How sweet of your husband and how sweet of you to order that delicious sounding cake!! Sounds like an awesome trip already!
 
July 22
Today has been our "down time" day that I really hadn't planned for but we all needed. We had a nice breakfast at 'Ohana and then spent the rest of the morning at the pool. Now everyone is just resting (DH is napping) before we go over to the GF again for dinner at the GF Cafe. From there we will be going to MK.

I think I may have to tweak our plans for the rest of the vacation because we want to head back to HS for a few things.

I'm glad everyone is resting now because we have been going nonstop since last Thursday! It's a lot on my kids and they need this time to chill!

I am hoping tonight will be lots of fun!

More tomorrow!
 
We are here @ the poly now too. Please forgive my typing on the phone. Checked in on 7/17 and leaving on 7/26.

Crowds @ the poly and at the parks are unlike anything we've ever seen here. It's crazy. We're being turned away from things i've never seen fill up before. 9pm Fantasmic was @ capacity by 7pm!

still having a great time. We only seem to notice the heat @ EPCOT.

YIKES! How was the 10:30 F!?
 
Corndog,
I agree with you about the crowds. Crazy! And there are a ton more tour groups than ever.....

Have a plan, everyone!

July 22 update:
So after spending the morning at the pool, we relaxed in the room and then went to the GF Cafe for dinner. Another great meal was had by all! I like the GF Cafe a lot because it has a calm and casual atmosphere and a good menu.

After dinner we went to MK. It was crazy crowded on Main Street because people were lining up for the 9pm parade - and it was only 7!!!

We headed towards Adventureland, DD got to meet Prince Naveen, we rode Aladdins magic carpets, Jungle Cruise, IASW, goofy's barnstormer, Peter pan and philharmagic. We got a lot done in a short time because everyone was lined up for parades and fireworks. It was a nice evening.

This morning we are heading back over to MK for several reasons:
1. I love the opening show and I have to see it on every trip.
2. Characters! My kids love meeting all te characters at MK.
3. Peter Pan - this is DS's new found fave so we want
to get him on the ride a few times.
4. We are having lunch in the castle! :)

More updates to follow, of course. We have three full days left, and I want to make the beat of them!!!
 
Can't wait to read about your lunch in the castle! We're doing that for the first time on our trip!

Sounds like your trip is magical. Thanks for the report.
 
It's great getting 2 live reports! Too bad about the crowds but sounds like you are making the best of it. Having a day for relaxation sound like the perfect plan even though you have to veer away from original plans :thumbsup2 Can't wait to hear all about your dinner at the Castle!
 
Thank you so much for the live trip report! Love it! :love:

Sounds like an amazing vacation. Can't wait to read more.
 
i am loving your live report. i should be at the poly right now but we had to cancel our trip a week before we left :mad: so your live report is making me feel like i am there.
 
I'm walking through Frontierland and want to give a big howdy to y'all!!! We have done so much this morning already! Peter panx2, IASW, tea
Party, barnstormer, potc, space mountain and splash is soon with fp's. Lunch at te castle is at 2:20.

A big hi to my BIL who is lurking and not posting!'n 2012 -
