A Spooktacular Disney Trip 9/30/09 to 10/10/09 PART 2

[Nutz4Dizney]

WOW, Sorry about not posting on the trip report.
Some of you already know but thought I'd catch you up on what's happened to me since the last time I posted about the trip. Well, in November I landed in the hospital because of my knee. Yup, the same knee that had me in a lot of pain during my postings. I had such a bad infection in my knee that ended up being MRSR. I got to stay 4 lovely days in the hospital. Which was AWESOME!!!! I had internet/TV/Radio it was on this screen that pulled to my bed, The Twilight books, a private corner room, and the food was cooked and provided by a hotel (it was NOT hospital food) and I didn't have to eat on a hospital schedule either. It was actually great. I told that I wouldn't bother them unless I needed them. They were find with that and I was fine without someone coming in and asking me if I needed anything. It worked wonders.


Christmas morning I ended up in the ER. I had an allergic reaction to the 100 Calorie Chocolate Chip Mini Bits. My tongue blew up so bad that if I had waited a little longer it would have cut my breathing off. The ER took me first. They gave me a steroid shot and an IV with steroids in it. I was done within 20 minutes but they kept me for about 2 hours to make sure I was fine. BUt we (hubby, son and myself) watched TV so we were good.

Then I lost my notepad about my trip.

I started planning my next trip. We are staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort Pirate Room from September 28-October 8.

This past Thursday I had another allergic reaction to something I ate (Kozy Shack Rice Pudding). My lips blew up and I looked very funny. If you are my facebook buddy you have seen my photos
Anyway, I have to see an allergist to figure out what is giving me these reactions. I ALWAYS ate the mini bits and I have always loved my Kozy Shack Rice Pudding. Hubby said as soon as I hit 35 (in November) everything went down hill from there.

Yesterday I found my trip notebook so now I can get busy on my trip report again.

Here you will find the beginning of my report

I will continue tonight or tomorrow.

Last left off We had just finished up with our Pirate League session and we looked mighty good too.

Right after we left the PL we jumped on line for Pirates of the Caribbean. The line was short and fast. Everyone on line kept looking at us like we were crazy for getting our faces painted. The party didn't actually start yet so we had a lot of time before we had to head to the Snow White line. When we were done with POC we saw Captain Hook & Mr. Smee so we got on line real fast. Just as a family got behind us the CM cut the line. Mr. Smee acted like he was afraid of us. Captain Hook got out his sword and had a sword fight with Zach the pirate (my son).

Now it's time to head to Jungle Cruise again NO LINE so we went right on. At the end of the ride the CM let Zach drive the boat. He's done this a couple of times and loves it.
Here's Zach with his license & Skipper

Our next stop was Magic Carpet ride again NO LINE. Everytime we went around the Camel spit at us. Never have I gone on this ride at got spit at so this was new to me. As first we would just miss being spit on and only catch the spray. The last go around I was hit full force on my side. That camel was lucky it didn't get my face with all my beautiful makeup on Tiki Room was our next stop. It was the last show for the night and was just about to start so we went right in. I couldn't believe we got Adventureland done in less than 30 minutes.

After Tiki Room we decided now was best time to head to Cinderella's Carriage line but before we got there we had to take these photos at the Pillory and Stock

The family wants me to cook dinner so to be continued

Hi!!! We are going to our first MNSSHP this September, so i'm really looking forward to some more of your updates!!!

 

[vamassey1]

Adventureland in 30 minutes! I'm impressed. I love the picture of Zach and Captain Hook and the pillory ones.

 

[mom2rtk]

Lovin the make-up.... such a clean natural look!

Bout time you finish up, don't you think????

 

[Nutz4Dizney]

Hi!!! We are going to our first MNSSHP this September, so i'm really looking forward to some more of your updates!!!

I went twice the same trip. I saw ALL the characters so I will have a great report about that for you. You will love the party we are going twice again this year.

Adventureland in 30 minutes! I'm impressed. I love the picture of Zach and Captain Hook and the pillory ones.

I'm thinking it took 30 minutes because we never wanted on line for anything. I'm sure it took longer Ill have to look at my photo times. Whatever it took to walk on and ride each ride without any waiting that is what it took.

Good to see you back, sorry about the allergies. bummer.
looking forward to more..

Thank you. I have been pretty healthy all my life (except for my tyroid which started 10 years ago) but this past November everything seemed to hit 1 right after the other LOL

Lovin the make-up.... such a clean natural look!

Bout time you finish up, don't you think????

LOL I thought we looked rather "beautiful". Mom and I don't wear makeup at all so this was a new thing for us.
hmmm.....it might be about time I finished but don't you think it's about time you start LOL

Gonna try to get some more done tonight but hubby is off so I rather scrapbook while he watches the kid LOL

Now now.... let's keep this about YOU, ok?????

And what's with that ticker????? I don't remember any big announcements from you about this year????

We'll miss you again. I'm bailing on the potential heat and going back for December. But it's with really mixed feelings. I LOVED the Halloween party!

Well, you know how I love to be the center of attention.

I just booked my next trip. We are going Sept 28-Oct 8th. Staying at Caribbean Beach in a Pirate Room. We are going to do the party twice again.

I went 3 years in a row in November/December I think I needed a brake from that. Hubby is missing out again this year but he will be with me so we will probably be back to the Nov/Dec trips again. It's nice to change up the parties though.

I would love to do the FLower and Garden again 1 year but it's around Terra Nova testing so I have be careful I never know when the school will spring it on me LOL

 

[Nutz4Dizney]

First I want to apologize to everyone I took TONS and TONS of photos so I just wanted to say sorry in advance. I'm only showing certain ones but even that might be too many LOL


OK on to some more of my trip.
We got to Cinderella’s Carriage at around 6:30. I put mom and Zach on line (we were first) while I went to hunt down some food. Everything in Fantasyland was closed. So I ran back in Liberty Square for drinks. I got back to the line and they started taken photos already. Mom let a family in front of her because I wasn’t there yet. We got our photos taken at 6:38.
I so wanted to get in and take my photo like that. Ahhhh to be a princess for a minute.

We were on line for Snow White at 6:45. Before I left for my trip I heard reports that SW & Dopey were coming out then later in the night the rest will come out. I was MAD about this cause I wanted them ALL. I could see Dopey & SW anytime in Epcot so as soon as I saw a CM. I asked the him if Snow White and Dopey are coming out first or all of them. He said they tired just Snow White and Dopey and that didn’t go so well. People were mad so now they all come out. I was so excited. I have only seen the “Dwarfs” from afar when I first started going to Disney so to see all of them up close was just amazing to me.
Waiting on line for SW

While on line for Snow White, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum came out by Mad Tea Party ride. I left Mom & took Zach on that line we were about the 3 families away when mom popped on line with us. The family ahead of us on the Snow White line told her to go and they would watch her stuff. Again great photos at 7:07. Everyone acted scared of the “Cursed Pirate Family” (that’s what everyone called us all night).
This is Zach while we waiting for the Tweedles

Yes, it did get dark and fast too. It was light one minute and dark the next. Great for the party atmosphere.

We were back on the Snow White line in no time. At 7:30 Sw & the Dwarfs came out and 7:37 we got our photos with all 8 of them. What a great experience!! Mom’s favorite is Dopey so she stayed by him I love Grumpy so I was by him. Each of us took individual photos with them and then a group photo. By the end of the night I noticed that the people on line were only allowed to take group photos because the line was HUGE.

Let me just say many many many people were playing dumb and trying to walk in front of the line as soon as SW & the Dwarfs came out. So be on the look out for "line jumpers".

Next we will see Minnie & Mickey.............

 

[mom2rtk]

Hmmmm.... Grumpy???? I'll bit my tongue........ You're killing me here you know???????

That photo in front of the carriage is PRICELESS!!!

 

[vamassey1]

Great photos! How long before you get to scrap this trip?

 

[Nutz4Dizney]

We were at Minnie’s house at 7:41. She even decorated her living room. You had to go through the house to the gazebo where she was waiting. There was a line but I don’t think it was that long. Minnie was adorable in her Witch’s outfit (photo at 7:54). Again individual photos and then a group. I think we did that for ALL the characters. I pretty much timed everything LOL

Next was Mickey’s house 7:56. He was waiting in the back almost by the entrance to the Judge’s Tent. He was dressed as Vampire in purple or a Mayor in Purple I’m not sure without fangs it throw me off but he was adorable so I was happy. If anyone knows what he was please let me know so I can make sure I scrapbook it correctly LOL Anyway we had our photos done at 8:16.

After Mickey we decided to do the Mad Hatter Trick or Treat line. Alice was at the beginning so we took photos with her at 8:22. If you haven’t noticed we were on a character hunt during this party. We decided since we were going to the party twice. The 1st party would be for characters and the 2nd party would be for everything else like rides thats what Zach loves.

and on we went. On the Trick or Treat line there are 2 CM’s giving out candy at each station. Zach was so funny he would go around one way with us then run the other way to get more candy. What makes it funny is he doesn’t really eat candy LOL
Next mission was to find Tarzan, on our way to see him we ran into The Queen of Hearts and the White Rabbit next to the Mad Tea Party ride (they would switch back and forth with the “Tweedles”) at 8:39.

After we were done with the Queen & Rabbit we headed to Adventureland to see Tarzan BUT wait who do we see Piglet and Tigger in costume in the Pooh’s Thoughtful spot area. Piglet was dressed as a butterfly and Tigger was Pirate. Just as we got up to them the CM announced that they will be switching in 5 minutes with Pooh & Eeyore. As we got up to Piglet he would not go near Zach. He was terrified of the “Curse Pirate Family. I felt so bad for the little Piggy. LOL Got our photos done at 8:53. We were the last family before they had to leave. This was actually a long line a little less than 20 minutes. Mom & Zach entertained themselves by sword fighting.

We hopped right back on line for photos with Pooh & Eeyore who were dressed as a Super Hero (Pooh) and a Clown (Eeyore). Too Cute, is all I have to say. We were done with Pooh & Eeyore at 9:11. I love it when the character’s are in “costume” LOL.

OK OK it’s time to get to Tarzan now or I’m gonna explode. I love me a man in a loincloth and muscles LOL On our way in search of him we let Zach trick or Treat. As we past Haunted Mansion we noticed there was NO LINE. So we decided to go jump on line well no wonder there was no line the ride was DOWN but the Hearse & Ghost Horse photo opt was open hardly any line. I guess people figured if the ride was closed so was that I think we were 3rd family at 9:18.

ON to find that sexy man of mine. Tarzan, baby here I come. We let Zach hit as many Trick or Treating spots he could but only ones with short lines. Since Mom on her scooter and couldn’t get up the steps, I took Zach into the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon to get some “treats” but was I surprised when I went in there. Who was there? Jessie and Bullseye. When I saw them I tried to yell (Remember I had been losing my voice on and off all day) to mom to park and come in. We were the 3rd family in line. Zach trick or treated while we waited. Bullseye was such a scared little pony. We had to reassure him that we were “GOOD” pirates. We had photos at 9:33

Next up Tarzan......I Hope

 

[Nutz4Dizney]

Hmmmm.... Grumpy???? I'll bit my tongue........ You're killing me here you know???????

That photo in front of the carriage is PRICELESS!!!

Hope you didn't hurt your tongue LOL 1 time while in Disney hubby handed me a gift and said I got it personalized. I was like cool when did he have time to get me something personalized. When I pulled it out of the bag it was a sweater with Grumpy and Grumpy's name on it LOL

Great photos! How long before you get to scrap this trip?

Thank you. I don't know if you are being sarcastic or you really want to know
Either way I'm working on my 2008 trip right now so I should be able to do my 2009 trip after I get home from my 2010 trip

A little of both. I would be dying to scrap these pictures but I know how strict you are with your schedule. I just finished our 2004 trip so I'm way behind.

LOL I am dying to scrap this trip because this is the only trip I actually kept a notebook with me (it will be so easy to scrap and journal this trip) but I have to wait. Winkflash is having a sale 5 cents for 4x6 and 10 cents for 5x7 until March 31st. I'm ordering ALL my 2008 trip photos on March 31 so I hope to be able to scrap this trip sooner rather than later. I have TONS of photopass photos that I haven't shared that are calling to me LOL

I still have to scrap my September 2004 and April 2005 but I keep being delayed LOL

 

[Nutz4Dizney]

After calming down Bullseye we walked around the corner to get to Tarzan…..FINALLY………..but we ran into Genie & Abu in the gaezbo (across from Swiss Family Treehouse). Will I ever see that Sexy man named Tarzan? I don’t know all these characters are distracting me. Can it be possible that the character Gods are keeping me away, afraid I might mug him down. We were 4th on line and we were done at 9:38.

After we took photos with Genie and Abu we continued on toward the bridge to Main Street between the gazebo and bridge there is a character area called Adventurers and Friends INSIDE a building (there is a cast member with a Mickey hand and a stand up sign letting you know characters are in there) inside there we ran across Rafiki at 9:40 (no line because most people were at the 1st parade)
I don't know where my photo is

and King Louie at 9:42 he took on Mom in a Sword Fight (again no line)

There has been many distractions but we finally made it to Tarzan. After visualizing his sexy self all night long I was so disappointed when I finally saw him. He was not the muscle man I thought him to be. Jane really let him “go”, shame on her LOL
Finished with Tarzan and Terk at 9:48. There was a line but not a long wait as you can tell from the times.

After seeing Tarzan and trick or treating on the way out we decided to go back to where Genie & Abu were because Aladdin and Jasmine was suppose to come out. We got on line and waited for the switch we were 3rd family in line. The photo pass lady said watch out they are REAL pirates because she’s got a canon. LOL OK this was hilarious at the time because it was unexpected (BTW. she was talking about my camera). Aladdin and Jasmine came out and we were done at 10:02.

Me being the thinker that I am figured that the characters in the Adventurers and Friends area might be switching too so we checked in there real fast.
We walked right to Timon at 10:05 (no line)

Zach played around with Baloo done with him at 10:08 (again no line). There was hardly anyone around Baloo kept annoying Zach and Zach kept shooting him LOL. I just love when the characters have extra time to play.

Next was Jane & Turk at 10:13.

I couldn‘t believe we saw that many characters in a span of 45 minutes. This is amazing to me.
