A Two Short, Too Different Spring Break Trip (Time to Say Goodbye)

Hi Memom! Hope you had a wonderful week and hopefully plans to go visit those beautiful girls of yours! :goodvibes We'll be making a short trip to Cape Cod and wondering if you recall the name of the poster on your trippie who is in Plymouth, Mass?....just wishing for some advice. I recall her posting on your trippies. Your trip is REAL SOON. Are you ready? :rotfl:
 
:scared1: ToT scares me.

Your morning snacks look delish! :cloud9:

I love Tower of Terror!

Hollywood Studios has good muffins. :)



I absolutely love ToT. I could probably spend the day just in the queue looking at everything.

TSM is a NEED to do for us -- I was so bummed that we didn't get to last time. The queue looks amazing!

Too bad you didn't get around to Toy Story. It's best to get there early so you can ride it once and Fastpass it later.



Whoa, good ToT view pic from the top! :thumbsup2 During one of our times on it, a guy was using his camera to videotape the whole ride! I wonder if it even turned out to be anything good saving..:confused3

I may try to video and see how it comes out.



Does the Tower of Terror not scare you, MeMom? :scared:

Not a bit. Heights don't scare me, and the feeling of falling is fun.
I don't like the few minutes when the elevator is closed, but I talk myself through it to get to ride. So far, I have been okay. If I ever get stuck with the elevator doors closed, that will be a different story! It will turn into a frightful ride for everyone stuck in there with me!



great pictures on TOT--it looked like a fun full evelator:goodvibes

The girl next to me was really the only one in there that didn't seem to be having fun.



Great update, but no shopping. It was brave taking pictures while on TOT, I am always trying to hold on to something. I remember Ed.

I ride rides every once in a while in between my shopping. ;)

I never hold on, because I am always taking pictures.



The TOT shots are great. I haven't tried the picture from the top yet. The woman next to you looks as if she is really enjoying the ride.

It's cool to look out over the park, but you don't get to look very long before you are going

d

n!



Yay for TOT! I will have to show my daughter, Maggie, those pictures. It is her favorite ride. We can almost see you Memom.

One day, I may forego the pictures and wave at you guys. :laughing:



Oh I love TOT!! And TSMM! What a great way to spend your last day! :)

I think it was a good choice. We had fun. We had a good laugh in Tower of Terror!



I am in awe...you have the ability to hold your camera and take a photo during Tower of Terror :worship: I'm the one in the photo who is holding on to dear life and yelling her prayer to God that this is not the way I want him to take me out of this world LOL!!!

Those snacks do look mighty yummy!!!

Oh I can't wait to see your Beauty and the Beast pictures that is my favorite show at DHS!! Simply in love with it!

Every person has their different fears, and I would guess that more people are scared of heights than closed-in places, but heights just do not bother me,

Beauty and the Beast is on its way today.



I also am in awe of your ability to get those shots on TOT. I'm always too busy holding up my hands and being a big shot (blocking somebody's face) to even try to get a picture! It was even more fitting that you had the camera blocking your face during the ride photo!:lmao: If we ever get the chance to ride it together, you sit behind me and I'll do my job and cover you up.

That would be a great 'hidden' picture! Let's plan on doing that for sure! :laughing:



Hi, MeMom glad to see all is well over here! :goodvibes

I've just been working.....sleeping.....:laughing:

I don't have to say it again, you already know how much I wish to have my very own Mickey waffler....:rotfl:
The POP one would be very cool to have too!

Update: we have booked a short trip to Myrtle Beach at the end of August. Just us girls! (so far Aaron isn't interested) We LOVE it there and I can't wait to see palm trees and sunsets! Swim, shop and relax! Lexi is excitted about going to the Build a Bear in M.B. to make the exclusive Alligator!
I'm going to make a countdown callendar even though it's not a Disney one.

Maybe you could get a waffle iron for a Christmas or birthday present. It really will bring you happiness often. :)

I'm so glad you are going to get a trip! That will be so much fun! You will have to show us Lexi's gator.

All caught up. Great updates as usual!!

Thanks. More coming later.
 
my favorite!!!!!! i love that you guys ride this. my mom would never get on it! the woman next to you looks like she's crying.

As of about age 18, my body kept going, but my mind remained a kid. I enjoy the thrill rides.



Yummmm, that muffin looked good!!!!

I love the ToT picture!

I can not wait to see the Beauty and the Beast pictures!!!

They have good muffins.

It is almost time for Beauty and the Beast to start.



Hahahahaha, I JUST noticed that! She really does look like she's crying! Poor thing!

She was the most upset person in the elevator.
I just ignored her and took my pictures.



I'll be keeping my fingers, and toes, crossed for you!

But don't leave me too long, I have to work tomorrow and typing with crossed fingers isn't the easiest.


Where did she go? I hope everything is alright...

Love your ToT picture. Have you ever gotten one where your camera wasn't in front of your face?

And of course, love those snack pics. Yum!

I think dancin_princess just doesn't have computer access any more. I see if I can find her number. I had it at one time. If I can find it, I'll check on her.

I'm always trying to get pictures of the ride when the camera takes the shot.


Sorry, I've been MIA this week, Liam had surgery and there was a surprise trip to L&D for me. Things are ok and a little Disney magic was on my discharge papers so this was perfect. I loved all of the Small World and Castle photos. What a bummer that we are on the last day of the trip!

Glad to see that Kay got to ride Toy Story and ToT despite your busy week!

I hope everybody is well now!
Fill us in on the Disney magic. :)



Hi Memom! Hope you had a wonderful week and hopefully plans to go visit those beautiful girls of yours! :goodvibes We'll be making a short trip to Cape Cod and wondering if you recall the name of the poster on your trippie who is in Plymouth, Mass?....just wishing for some advice. I recall her posting on your trippies. Your trip is REAL SOON. Are you ready?

I have no idea who is from Plymouth, but maybe they'll see this and can advise you.

I'm nowhere near ready. I've thrown a few things in a suitcase I've opened up in the backroom. I'll get motivated eventually.


**********************************


So, if you all have a good seat and a cold drink or ice cream bar, you are ready to enjoy a tale as old as time.

This guy wasn't nice, so he suffered the consequences.

disney3-18-09MK451.jpg


She was nice to everyone, but the town thought she was a bit peculiar.

disney3-18-09MK452.jpg


He thinks he's hot stuff.

disney3-18-09MK453.jpg


She didn't really belong here,

disney3-18-09MK454.jpg


but the residents were glad she showed up.

disney3-18-09MK455.jpg


disney3-18-09MK456.jpg


You better be nice to that girl!

disney3-18-09MK457.jpg


A friendship slowly blooms.

disney3-18-09MK458.jpg


Gaston starts an uproar,

disney3-18-09MK459.jpg


and then fights Beast.

disney3-18-09MK461.jpg


Belle steps in to save the day.

disney3-18-09MK462.jpg


He gets to be human again.

disney3-18-09MK463.jpg


Lots of people dance.

disney3-18-09MK466.jpg


disney3-18-09MK467.jpg


disney3-18-09MK468.jpg


They kiss.

disney3-18-09MK469.jpg


disney3-18-09MK470.jpg


The audience applauds.

disney3-18-09MK471.jpg


Eventually, though not in this condensed version, these guys get turned back into real people.

MeMom great job on the cliff notes version of Beauty and the Beast. I love the pictures.
 

Love the pictures - this is a must do for us for our Nov trip. In 4 trips since Abby was born, we have never made it. I know she will love it.

Thanks for the cliff notes version! Ya know, I've never seen the movie or read the story. Guess I need to rectify that. You got some really good pictures!
 
MeMom! I can't believe that you don't hold on during ToT. I'm so skeered I'll fly right out! That's a fun picture. That poor crying lady must have been really scared.
 
Brooklynn's favorite!!!!!!!

Those are truly great pictures. We still have not caught this show, but I hope to in September, it's on "The List". :goodvibes
 
We saw Beauty and the Beast in March, and as I read through your MeMom version, I had the silliest, most wistful grin on my face ever. :cloud9: I can't wait to see it again in December....:cutie:
 
ToT scares me to tears!! I don't like the stomach dropping feeling. I would like to go through the queue once though.

The Beauty and the Beast pictures are wonderful. I found myself humming the tale as old as time song as I viewed them.
 
MeMom great job on the cliff notes version of Beauty and the Beast. I love the pictures.

Thanks. I may have used Cliff's Notes a few times back in the day. Teachers would always tell us it wouldn't do any good, but it really did. ;)



Love the pictures - this is a must do for us for our Nov trip. In 4 trips since Abby was born, we have never made it. I know she will love it.

If she's like Brooklynn, she will love it!
We'll see what Bella thinks about it in a couple of weeks. Knowing her, she'll probably sleep through it! :laughing:



:lmao: Love the abridged version of Beauty and the Beast.

Pretty much how it went, right?

Did you guys see it on this past trip?



That just about sums it up. Great pictures.

Thanks. I have never been able to sit quite as close as I'd like to. One of these days I'd like to get just a bit closer and see what details I can get.



Thanks for the cliff notes version! Ya know, I've never seen the movie or read the story. Guess I need to rectify that. You got some really good pictures!

Definitely! It's a great movie!



MeMom! I can't believe that you don't hold on during ToT. I'm so skeered I'll fly right out! That's a fun picture. That poor crying lady must have been really scared.

Not skeered a bit! Just don't lock me in there, and I'm good. :)



Great pics and recap of Beauty and the Beast! It is on my list for next time!

We try to see it every time. Jill, Brooklynn, and I really enjoy it.



Great Beauty and the Beast pictures.

Thanks. I look forward to seeing it again soon. :banana:



Brooklynn's favorite!!!!!!!

Those are truly great pictures. We still have not caught this show, but I hope to in September, it's on "The List". :goodvibes

Even though you've got just guys, I bet Henry would like the Beast parts. It's all very colorful and action-packed.



We saw Beauty and the Beast in March, and as I read through your MeMom version, I had the silliest, most wistful grin on my face ever. :cloud9: I can't wait to see it again in December....:cutie:

I know! I just love all the Disney shows, and I wish they had even more of them.



You know I love B&tB so you know that I loved your MeMom version of it! :goodvibes

After you have seen it once, it is fun to be there in pictures again. :goodvibes



ToT scares me to tears!! I don't like the stomach dropping feeling. I would like to go through the queue once though.

The Beauty and the Beast pictures are wonderful. I found myself humming the tale as old as time song as I viewed them.

The queue is worth seeing, and you can alway go out the chicken exit. Not that you're chicken or anything. :)

Do your girls like it? What about Ian? This may be one of those things where the dads and sons go do something manly while the girls watch pretty pink dresses dancing around on stage. Drew wouldn't care a thing in the world about seeing it, but Trent is okay with it. He volunteers to watch it sometime, knowing it makes me happy to have him with us.


**********************************



It was time for us to leave Hollywood Studios. We did the things we had come to do, and we had time constraints to work within. That mean old Magical Express bus was coming to take us to the airport, and we still had things to do.

disney3-18-09MK473.jpg


Goodbye, friend!
Until next time.

disney3-18-09MK474.jpg


Our next stop was Downtown Disney. Trent had told us that Jarvis had spoken fondly of an old Donald Duck t-shirt he had as a little boy. He said if we saw something that we thought Jarvis might wear to pick it up for him. We had looked, but we hadn't found anything that thrilled us. We decided we'd make him one at the new t-shirt store in DTD.

Here's the shop, which is located just inside the Marketplace entrance.

disney3-18-09MK476.jpg


You make the shirt you want and pick it up in about an hour, best I remember.

disney3-18-09MK477.jpg


disney3-18-09MK479.jpg


We found the one we wanted, ordered it, and were on our way.
If you want to see what it looks like, go to the pre-trip for Brooklynn Takes Bella to Meet Cinderella. He's wearing it there.

I also sent some postcards.
Here's a postcard being mailed to Brooklynn from her beloved Nemo.

disney3-18-09MK475.jpg



Then we just shopped.

disney3-18-09MK514.jpg


More Downtown Disney later. I have some camp things I need to do, and I'm going to try to find some new tennis shoes, if I can get some for the right price.

Have a great Saturday!
 
We didn't manage to catch Beauty and the Beast this time.

Ah, Bo! I know Chelsea is already missing him!

Yours is the second trip report that has pictures of the make your own shirt store -- I really want to check it out next year!
 
Ooooh, that bus is coming now and we are about to be whisked away into the 'real world'.

Sigh.

BUT, once again MeMom, finishing just in time for another trip!!!!!! :yay: You are a blessed lady! :goodvibes

I can't remember Jarvis' shirt, gotta go remind myself....
