Hello Wigd., Shocker, and Baylor. First a big, big THANK YOU for showing a newbie how to spend a magical night at MK on a first Disney trip!! Sorry, Shocker, but it was our first time....LOL I know your comment wasn't aimed toward me, we weren't even in Norway!! LOL But we were first timers, though Tracy has already claimed that we would be returning, so I guess I can slip by, just by saying it won't be our ONLY Disney Trip!! LOL My girls loved both Spectro and Wishes and though I am sure it would have been magical from anywhere, the spots you took us too seemed prefect to this country boy from Bama!! So, thank you so much. You both should be extremely proud of Baylor, he was an awesome "guide" with impeccable manners and made the evening even so much fun! I do hate we didn't get to meet up again during the week.......Tracy did eventually make it out the outlet stores, but it was Friday night before it happened. You should have called and she would have loved a break during the week, I am sure.
I am thinking about changing my name from Blesseddaddy to Commando Chris at this point. After reading all the tips and coming to chat every night, our game plan worked wonderful, well except for my tired aching feet and those blisters that popped up on Sunday night (another wonderful tip from the dis boards.........Muleskin!! Without it I'm not sure I could have made the week!!) Anyway, at this point my girls have been able to ride the small and the bigger rides and according to the youngest Barn Stormer, was boring....I guess after Everest, Space Mt., RRC, TOT, etc., she is likely right. Our next trip we won't have to spend as much time in those areas!! YEAH maybe a little resort time by the pools!!
I think I understand better now how you pros do Disney, but for our first trip we did try to do "everything" we could and we had a wonderful time. Meeting up with you all on our first full day there was icing on the cake and made the night extra special.
Don't fuss at Marc too much. We had one whatever you would like to call him, be rude at the Tiki Show and I had to calm Tracy down!! I just told her that rude was rude even at Disney World and what goes around comes around, to not let "him" spoil her trip, he has to live with himself. Of course, I did say it loud enough for him and his family to be able to hear it!! It was pretty clear that at least some of his family was embarrassed by his actions.
I'm looking forward to hearing all about your week. I may even try my hand at a trip report some day!! Until then, I'll just enjoy yours!!
We will be doing Character meals in the future........worth the 100 bucks to not have to stand in long lines for autographs!! That is not to say that I wouldn't do the same Dinning Plan that we did this time...it worked well for us!! I understand why many do what they do, but for us having the freedom to be where we are without having to leave to make an ADR (which I did see happen more than once) made our trip a little better and helped with my aching feet!! LOL
The girls also started the pin trading stuff, with me standing the background saying do you really, really want to do that?? Really it was more the older of the two, the younger one just wanted pins with frogs and since Disney doesn't seem to have a pond full of those she was content with the few she ended up with. I guess that was a down side to the girls having their own money!! LOL
MOVING my ADR changes on the pool up to 17, thanks!! LOL
and then Marc looks in the bathroom, it's a wheelchair accessible bathroom, which means no tub for me........
So back we go to the Hospitality House, (gee I'm glad we were so close) to let them know that I would be needing a room with a tub. That was quickly taken care of so off we went to retrieve our carry on luggage that we had left in the room, stop by the Hospitality House and retrieve our purple locker and head over to the new room, just across the bridge from the Hospitality House and near the first bus pick-up point!
