A pictorial trip report! Updated 18/06/08, 990 Pictures so far, not close to done!

WOW!! Way to extend the vacay!! :thumbsup2 Any room in your cases for me?!!! :cutie: LOL Your plans look great so far!! :banana: Can't wait to read more of your TR (look at great pics)!!!:goodvibes
 
glad to hear your plans. we're asmu from Aug 9-23. my sister raves about the bus service from asmu. loving all the photos. makes me feel like i'm there with you guys:goodvibes
 
Great photos. That 4 pm flight from winnipeg always gets us there really late too. Even when we take a taxi we never seem to get to our room until 2 am.

Congrats on the August trip. I love having a trip to look forward too. You never get the Disney blahs that way.
 
I am having update withdrawls!!! :rotfl: Are we going to be lucky enough to get an update soon???:surfweb:
 

I'm so sorry all! Real Life has a way of getting seriously in the way at times! I will be updating again very shortly and promise to put lots of updates up! I am going on a short 4 day trip to Toronto from April 28th- May 4th, so it'll seem like I started updating again and then stopped, but once I get back from Toronto, I'll be grinding out the rest of the TR! Hope you Winnipegers are enjoying our nice springtime weather! Almost went over 0 degrees today! :rotfl:
 
I hope you have a great time in TO!! Doesn't the weather suck today??!!! Sheesh, just crazy spring weather...seems like it is going to stay a bit chilly for the next little while too...I guess I will just have to immerse myself in all the Disney pics, to try and escape the weather.

Went to Home Depot today to get some Mickey heads, and they were quite low on the Alien Green...lol I picked up some orange and black to make some Halloween decorations for our room this Oct. Once again, I ended up feeling terribly guilty taking them...lol

Well off to bed for me now, got to get up early to make our ADR's tomorrow.....can't beleive it is the 180 day mark! Time has flown by since we started planning this trip!

I am looking forward to reading more of your TR!!

Way to go on the 180 day mark! You must be so excited. Did you get all your ADR's you wanted? What a beautiful day here today but I hear its supposed to get cool again for the weekend. We might as well talk amongst ourselves while Shir Khan is off lollygagging in TO.:rotfl2:
 
I guess I need a count down clock till Shir gets back from Toronto!!:upsidedow

Well TY!!! Yes I got the ADR"S!! :banana: So thrilled to get CRT, it is a surprise for DD, but I am dying to tell her!! We are doing dinner at 1900, breakfast at CRT, 50's for lunch, and CM for breakfast. Plus I made DD an apt for BBB. So now that that is all done, looks like I will be anxiously waiting for time to pass!....Now we just need to decide if we are goint to MNSSHP on the 31st, or a different night, we are just a bit nervous about the crowds etc.

We are really liking the weather this week too!! SO much better than last week! Keeping my fingers crossed for this weather to stay!!

I guess I need a count down clock till Shir gets back from Toronto!!:upsidedow

Ok, finally back from Toronto and have some time! Gratz on the CRT reservation! Toronto was a lot of fun, except the hotel was awful. The actual rooms were great, but we landed at around 6:30pm and our rooms weren't ready. They were apparently being cleaned. :confused3 We decided to grab something to eat while we waited and checked out the hotel restaurant. The first item on the menu was $9 soup and it went way up from there, so off we went to find something else. You'd think that there would be something decent open at the airport in Toronto at 8pm, but all we found was a sub shop that was serving some very suspicious looking subs. I decided to bite the bullet and went back to the hotel to order a clubhouse sandwich for $18. The guys who bought the subs said that they had had worse subs, but weren't quite sure when. My clubhouse was pretty good, but not nearly $18 good. Internet service was also $18.49 per night. Crazyness! The actual tradeshow was quite good and the second night we got to have supper at the Hockey Hall of Fame, where I got to see my New York Rangers get stomped on by Pittsburgh. :sad2: Also got my picture taken with the Stanley Cup! :woohoo: We had a stand-up comedian for the third night. He was on Just For Laughs and This Hour has 22 Minutes but I can't quite remember his name. Shawn Masomething. :confused3 He was very good though! The final day, they gave out the prizes! I won a digital SLR! An Olympus Evolt 420 worth around $600. We also were all given a $300 Kodak 10" digital picture frame, which I love! Added to that was a duffel bag packed with stuff like Bluetooth headsets, Altec Lansing cell phone speakers, flash drives and a ton of other stuff. Very, very cool! Can't wait to use the SLR in August! I would not have chosen Olympus for my first SLR, but it is actually performing extremely well!

So anyway, I'm in the middle of uploading a ton of pictures and in about 10 or so minutes, I should be able to start posting them! Really sorry for the long break in between, but I shouldn't have any more delays now! I am going to post every picture I have, good or bad, as I really want to have you all come along with us and see what we saw, in the order we saw it. Unfortunately, this does mean you'll likely see a million Epcot golf ball shots and a million castle shots, but you're going to have to deal with that! :rotfl: DW isn't going to like this either, as it means she's going to have a lot more pictures of her posted! She can deal with that too! :thumbsup2 Ok, off to get the pictures ready, be right back!
 
Ok, here come the first of them:

A picture of DWs charm chain. Somehow she didn't actually buy more of the charms this trip, these were all from the 2006 trip!

We decided to try the single rider line at Test Track. This didn't turn out well, as we were kept at that gate for over 30 minutes. :sad2:

As you can see, my camera didn't do so well under low light and very shaky conditions, but I wasn't too surprised.

Is this one of those $150 per hour guides or just a Customer Service rep?
 
WDW2008290.jpg

We spent a fair amount of time watching these guys, one of them got separated and kept chirping, so we called him Peep. He eventually did find the rest!

Wow, just looking back at these pics, low light is just not a good thing! Oh well, the good light shots are great quality, so I'll be putting the 870 IS away once twilight hits and will bring out the SLR.
